Chapter 353: Luo Xianxian Gets the Short End of the Stick

The night deepened.

The waning moon emitted a faint glow, and within the Underworld Kings Mansion, the shadows of the trees danced.

Under the dim moonlight, a beautiful figure moved silently toward Qin Xuan's residence.

"It's a Restriction!"

When Luo Xianxian's palm touched the door, she suddenly realized that the vast Yuan Qi within her body had vanished in an instant, and her heart tightened.

Immediately, she felt relieved.

Within this Mingyue Imperial City, besides Qin Xuan, who else could so easily seal her Emperor-realm cultivation?

It was good that he had placed a Restriction; it would save Qin Xuan's female confidantes from tactlessly barging in and ruining the romantic atmosphere between her and Qin Xuan.

*Huu—*

Exhaling a long breath, Luo Xianxian's beautiful eyes were filled with determination.

She was not willing to offer herself up like this.

After all, she was the daughter of the Celestial Race Patriarch; her status was noble, and her beauty was among the best in the Celestial God Clan.

If she were to publicly recruit a husband, the Prodigies who wanted to become the son-in-law of the Celestial God Clan would line up all the way from the Mingyue Imperial Dynasty to the Ziyang Empire.

But she could not be so willful!

As the daughter of the Clan Chief, she had to shoulder the heavy burden of revitalizing the Celestial God Clan!

The Celestial God Clan had been in decline for far too long—so long that now, whenever the Celestial God Clan encountered their nemesis, the Heavenly Demon Clan, they could only avoid them.

As the daughter of the Clan Chief, she could no longer tolerate her clansmen being so subservient.

She had to do something to let the Celestial God Clan return to its Peak!

Now, she had no choice but to sacrifice her beauty to please Qin Xuan, hoping that through him, she could help revitalize the Celestial God Clan.

Luo Xianxian placed her hand on the door and pushed it open slowly, her heart filled with bitterness and resignation.

However, the smile curling at the corners of her pretty mouth could no longer be suppressed!

"Asleep?"

Tiptoeing as she entered the room, Luo Xianxian looked at the furniture arranged as if it were daytime and cautiously approached the bed.

Looking at the bulge in the quilt, the smile on Luo Xianxian's lips grew even more smug.

Pretending!

Keep pretending!

Her cultivation had been sealed, not Qin Xuan's; how could he not know she had come to visit in the middle of the night?

He was just pretending to be asleep on purpose, not intending to make the first move.

"Seeing as you are handsome, capable, and can revitalize my Celestial God Clan, I will reluctantly agree to your rude request!"

"Father, Old Ancestors of the Celestial God Clan, I, Luo Xianxian, daughter of the Celestial Race Patriarch, am definitely not a coward!"

"For the sake of the Celestial God Clan, I am willing to lay down my personal dignity!"

*Swish—*

Luo Xianxian slipped into the warm quilt in one smooth motion.

Luo Xianxian, who had been smug just a moment ago, felt her heart tighten the moment she entered the warm quilt.

*Gulp!*

She couldn't help but swallow hard, and her heart began to fill with worry.

If Qin Xuan had any special hobbies, what should she do?

Should she agree?

Or should she hesitate for a while before agreeing?

What if Qin Xuan's hobbies were particularly strange, and he asked her to help refine artifacts? How would she respond then?

Strange thoughts rose chaotically in Luo Xianxian's mind.

It wasn't that Luo Xianxian had any strange quirks; it was truly the first time she had encountered such a situation.

After all, she was just a little princess who had grown up pampered in the Celestial God Clan.

When had she ever done something so shameless as offering herself up?

Before, she had been filled with the burning passion to revitalize the Celestial God Clan, but the moment she touched Qin Xuan's back, that passion was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head from start to finish—chilling her to the bone, leaving her wilted like a frosted eggplant.

"Could he really be asleep? By coming here uninvited, have I overstepped my bounds?"

Luo Xianxian's heart began to pound. Seeing that Qin Xuan had no intention of turning around, she became increasingly anxious, and even her legs tensed up involuntarily.

It would have been fine if she hadn't tensed up, but as soon as she did, she inevitably touched Qin Xuan's body.

Sensing that subtle touch, Luo Xianxian murmured with a tight heart, "What a perky butt!"

She had never noticed before that Qin Xuan's figure was actually so graceful?

Looking slender as jade, yet in reality, it was a curvaceous figure?

*Swish, swish, swish!*

Inside the quilt, the sound of sheets and blankets shifting rang out.

Sensing that Qin Xuan was about to climb out of the quilt, Luo Xianxian's delicate body tensed up like a stone. Her mind went blank, her beautiful eyes widened like copper bells, and she remained stunned, not even blinking.

Waiting for the person inside the quilt to poke their head out.

Gazing at Wu Bingqing, who was blushing for the first time in history, Luo Xianxian was struck as if by lightning and cried out in shock, "How could it be you!?"

The corners of Wu Bingqing's beautiful mouth twitched frantically.

Just a moment ago, she had sensed Qin Xuan kicking her butt.

She had thought it was Qin Xuan urging her to face him.

After all that, it was Luo Xianxian kicking her butt?

*Swish—*

Wu Bingqing's expression darkened instantly.

Her butt could be kicked by Qin Xuan, but an outsider couldn't even touch it!

*Bang!* Wu Bingqing viciously threw a punch. Before Luo Xianxian could speak again, she was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

She smashed the wardrobe not far away into smithereens!

"Hiss... it hurts, it hurts so much!"

Luo Xianxian scrambled around in pain, clutching herself. With her cultivation sealed, she was like a Mortal.

In this room, unable to mobilize her Yuan Qi, she felt as if her whole body was falling apart, and her eye socket was stinging with fiery pain!

"Wu Bingqing, why did you hit me!?"

"Weren't you supposed to go to the front lines to wage war against the Ziyang Empire? Why are you in Qin Xuan's quilt!?"

Luo Xianxian was furious, and the pain caused resentment to rise in her heart.

"Alright, alright, it's all a misunderstanding." Ning Waner helped the disheveled Luo Xianxian up, brushed the wood shavings off her body, and said helplessly, "Why didn't you make a sound earlier? Cultivation is sealed here; if you don't make a sound, everyone thinks it's Qin Xuan returning."

Then, she looked at Wu Bingqing to mediate the conflict, saying, "Third Sister, even if Luo Xianxian overstepped, you shouldn't have hit her so hard!"

Wu Bingqing pointed at Luo Xianxian's nose, killing intent surging in her gaze as she said, "She kicked my butt!"

Ning Waner lowered her eyes, looking at Luo Xianxian, who was about a few centimeters shorter than her, and said bitterly, "Then that is your fault. Third Sister was sleeping perfectly fine there; why did you go and kick her butt for no reason?"

Luo Xianxian's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion.

How was she supposed to know that Wu Bingqing was hiding in the quilt?

Her cultivation was sealed here, and she couldn't probe for auras; how could she have known?

She was the one who got hit, and she was the one who was injured; how did she inexplicably end up taking the blame?

The Seven Pearls of Mingyue were working together to bully her, an outsider, right?

Luo Xianxian looked at Ning Waner, who was walking out from the broken wardrobe, and asked indignantly, "Weren't you supposed to go for disaster relief? Why are you hiding in Qin Xuan's wardrobe? Did you disaster-relief your way into Qin Xuan's closet or something?"
