Chapter 307: Last Sighting of Empress Huang
Xing had prepared her heart and honed her skills to face Shihong and Old Rong properly and eradicate them in the past days. The dream she had still repeats sometimes but now Chenglei’s voice saying "Live!", will be echoing in her ears. She still had little doubts that if everything will be fine after she ends Old Rong and if the gods will keep their promise and leave them alone but she had decided to fight for it. She cannot lose the one life she has for nothing.
Also making love with Chenglei felt too good and she is not satisfied with one time. She wanted more of it.
There were plannings going on for a mass celebration for the Heavenly Emperor, another festival they had forgotten to celebrate over years. That festival was to celebrate the Empire and praying for the longevity of the Emperor as he is considered the Son of the Heavenly Emperor.
The day before the celebrations, only Maya visited her as Takano had symptoms of pregnancy and was asked to rest. Xing was happy for her brother and more so for her father who still was grieving for her mother. She thought that having a little one in the Manor would greatly improve his mood and she wished it was a girl. Surely her father would really admire a granddaughter.
Xing looked at Maya making tea with her in a doubtful manner. Maya’s been learning the art of making tea from Xing these days and was greatly improving. But she seemed different today and Xing had a speculation that she might be pregnant. But it is entirely impossible with the way her father is watching like a hawk. So how...?
Xing realised Seiren hovering outside her courtyard and asked him in. That guy had a skip in his step and hiding his mirth behind the silk fan he was holding and Xing realised Her speculation is right.
She plucked the fan from his hand and started hitting him in the head with his fan.
"Milord! Why are you hitting me?", he screamed and ran in circles to escape from her but he was not agile as Xing and got his fair share of hits from her. Maya tried to stop Xing but was met with her angry glare and she just pretended to not see her man getting hit like a dog and stood by a corner.
"You dirty pervert! How dare you do this to my unmarried sister?", Xing asked him who was now kneeling in front of her.
"I’m sorry! I thought no one would agree to our marriage!", he spoke pitifully. His lustrous hair was all dishevelled and was sticking to his face now wet with sweat. He looked like a woman who was abused!
Xing immediately sat in her table and wrote an edict for the daughter of Huang AoTian to be married to the Lord of the Zhong household. Even without her seal, her words alone carried weight and so she didn’t use the phoenix seal.
"Milord! My mother already approved.... Still this will help a lot. Thank you... You can hit me a thousand more times... It didn’t even hurt a lot..! ", Seiren looked happy.
