Looking at her retreating figure, Li Yuan felt puzzled, always feeling that this Daoist Nun was quite strange.
As if she could see right through people at a glance...
Chen Mo arrived before the Qianqing Gate and had a Palace Servant go in to announce his arrival.
Shortly after, Xu Qingyi dressed in white came over.
"Director Xu, long time no see," greeted Chen Mo as usual.
Xu Qingyi seemed to think of something, her pretty face blushing as she lowered her head without speaking.
The two walked towards the Frozen Sky Palace in silence.
After all, he had spanked her, Chen Mo decided to break the ice proactively and spoke up, "Director Xu, last time was a misunderstanding, don’t take it to heart..."
Xu Qingyi’s slender hand suddenly clenched, her ears almost red through.
"To express my apologies, I have a gift for you," said Chen Mo.
Xu Qingyi was surprised, with her hands behind her back hurriedly replied, "No, there’s no need, I don’t wear thongs!"
Poor Director Xu, she has already reacted.
Chen Mo took out a white bracelet and handed it to her, saying, "This is a Magical Treasure made from Serpent Bone, capable of protecting the body, and could probably withstand a full-force hit from a Fourth-Level Warrior."
Xu Qingyi’s cultivation was not weak, probably much higher than fourth-rank.
But even for a High-grade Mage, once a coarse Martial Artist closed the distance, they could easily be killed in a series of continuous attacks.
This Magical Treasure could save her life at a critical moment.
Looking at the bracelet with its intricately carved designs, Xu Qingyi’s eyes rippled with complex and indistinct emotions.
Hesitating for a long time, she bit her lip and whispered softly, "Thank you, Hundred Households Chen, but this bracelet is too precious, I can’t accept it..."
Chen Mo took out the Purple Phoenix Order, "I command you not to be polite."
Xu Qingyi was taken aback.
Then, unable to hold back a chuckle, her lips curved up and her cool face bloomed like pear flowers.
Chen Mo nodded approvingly, "See, Director Xu, you look rather pretty when you smile... You should smile more often, don’t always keep a straight face like you’re worried people won’t realize that we are the villains."
Xu Qingyi coquettishly rolled her eyes at him, her cheeks flushed pink, "I’m not the villain."
"Right right right, you’re not, I am; is that satisfactory?"
Chen Mo shook his head.
As the ultimate BOSS’s protector, the soul-snatching "White Impermanence," not a bit of self-awareness...
They arrived in front of the Frozen Sky Palace.
Xu Qingyi stopped, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s, "The gift you gave... I really like it."
After saying that, she turned around and left quickly.
Looking at the swaying hem of her dress, Chen Mo pinched his chin, why is it that this big block of ice sometimes seems quite adorable?
Entering the hall, he did not see Consort Yu.
Chen Mo walked all the way to the terrace and saw the Empress leaning on a rattan chair, dressed in a plain Palace Gown that fell like flowing clouds, with long legs wrapped in black stockings, her eyes looking towards the distant palaces, seemingly in thought.
"Your servant greets the Empress," Chen Mo bowed in salute.
Yu Youhan made no sound but slightly raised her feet.
Chen Mo understood and crouched down, reaching out to hold her black stocking-clad Exquisite Feet.
Under the semi-transparent stockings, the feet were cute and tender, and the texture was as smooth as ever.
Chen Mo’s expression was devout, massaging gently but firmly.
Looking at his serious demeanor, Yu Youhan felt amused, "Why do you take foot massages so seriously?"
Chen Mo replied earnestly, "Foot acupressure is also a path, the technique is also a spell, foot massaging is also a form of cultivation, isn’t it?"
Yu Youhan was at a loss for words.
After a moment, she asked indifferently as if it was trivial, "You seem to have a good relationship with Qingyi?"
Chen Mo’s heart skipped a beat.
He keenly sensed a hint of sourness in her tone.
"Director Xu is the Empress’s right-hand, of course, I must maintain a good relationship with her, so I can better serve the Empress," Chen Mo answered flawlessly.
Yu Youhan’s eyes narrowed, "Is that all?"
Chen Mo nodded, "Just that."
"Then why are you always giving her gifts, and I haven’t received any..."
Yu Youhan’s words were not finished when she suddenly felt something strange on her foot.
Looking down, she was momentarily stunned.
She saw a shoe as transparent as crystal on her foot, pure and clear without any impurity, the heel slender and elongated, like a shiny jade pillar, perfectly supporting the entire shoe.
On the body of the shoe, finely inserted Yao Stones twinkled like numerous stars.
Chen Mo also helped her put on the other shoe, making her already long legs appear even more slender with the elevation of the heels.
High heels paired with black stockings, Empress step on me!
Chen Mo said with a smile, "This is my gift for the Empress, do you like it?"
Gazing at the beautiful Crystal Shoes, Yu Youhan found herself somewhat captivated.
