Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 47 - Embarrassing Morning

When Bai Rouyun awoke the following morning, she was dazed, and her head was slightly buzzing from overusing her spiritual energy.

She felt as if she was lying on a warm water bottle, the heat that she was gaining from this bottle was simply too comfortable, and she nuzzled her head against it, feeling the smooth texture underneath her cheek.

This was so comfortable that she did not want to move at all, and she burrowed further under the blanket, reached out her hands, and hugged the warm water bottle.

"My dear, I am not against this, but you should look at me first to make sure you really want us to take the next step," a teasing voice sounded in her ear, and instantly Bai Rouyun woke up.

What warm water bottle? It was Li Moyun!

Her face suddenly flushed red in embarrassment, her eyes darted from one side of the room to another in an attempt to find a way to escape, but Li Moyun did not give her a chance as he clasped his arms around her waist, pressing her against his sturdy chest.

"Dearest, it makes your husband happy that you decided to throw yourself into my arms last night. And even more so when you were this clingy in the early mornings. I am finally aware that I have a place in your heart."

Bai Rouyun never had any close encounters with any other man than Li Moyun, so it was very new to her, but she had to admit that she liked looking at the half-naked Li Moyun, he had too tempting a body. It was no wonder she wanted to touch it subconsciously.

She quickly averted her eyes, but the glance she had thrown at him before clearly showed her emotions, and Li Moyun was immensely pleased with himself.

"Don’t worry," he said gently as he saw her cheeks flushing completely crimson, "I won’t hold it against you. Also, we can work with the idea of fairness, you slept with me last night, so I will sleep with you tonight. That way, you won’t feel as if you got cheated, right?"

"Shameless!" Bai Rouyun could no longer hold back her scolding, but she still dared not look at Li Moyun.

Chuckling, Li Moyun went to her side, and with a hand, he lifted her chin, making her look at him.

"I am not the one who was jumping onto someone else in the middle of the night and then began rubbing myself all over this other person," he said with a smile on his face, clearly delighted with himself. "It was all your own doing, so how can you call me shameless? I am sure that you were acting on your actual desires, and the truth is that we are married, so it is very normal to do things like this, why are you suddenly embarrassed?"

Bai Rouyun said nothing else but pouted slightly. She instantly understood that although Li Moyun wasn’t usually a man of many words, he could sometimes speak a lot, and when he did, it was impossible for her to refute him.

"Go get dressed," she finally said as she pushed Li Moyun away from her, her hands touched his bare chest, and she felt as if she had been scalded, quickly withdrawing her hands.

She found a beautiful and adorable dress in purple, after which she vanished into the Primal Chaos Pagoda to get ready.

In here, she washed, got dressed, and played a little with Xiao Bao and Xiao Jin before she exited the pagoda again, only to find that Li Moyun was still waiting for her.

"We are going to the Imperial Palace today," he said smilingly, "so it is time for you to try the role of a mentally challenged person. Are you sure you can act convincingly?"

"Don’t worry about me," Bai Rouyun said happily. "I am looking forward to this."

Li Moyun nodded his head and gestured for Bai Rouyun to exit the palace together with him. This time they were riding in the carriage that belonged to Prince Yun of the Richu Empire.

When the Fire Horse, which was dragging the carriage, ran down the roads, sparks sprung from their hooves, and the sight attracted much attention from the ordinary citizens.

The children were watching with marvel in their eyes, the older ones looking with envy. Fire Horses were immensely expensive; they could not be bought with gold alone, one needed to also have a certain background, and only two princes had Fire Horses, them being the Crown Prince and Prince Yun.

Prince Yun was even better liked than the Crown Prince within the Richu Empire. He had previously protected the border against invading troops, and he had won significant merits in battle.

Everyone knew that Prince Yun was incredibly polite, honorable, and filial. He did everything that he was told without any complaints, and when he did something, it was done to perfection.

Few knew of his real personality, and that the mask he was wearing in front of all others was just for living a peaceful life as the Eternal Shadow Lord.

As the carriage went through town, the rumors of Prince Yun were once again on everyone’s lips, and most of it was about how they pitied him for having been forced to marry a dumb woman.

But others argued that he was spending his time looking for skilled doctors to heal her, and that with time she would become the most staunch supporter of Prince Yun, as she would have to thank him for having healed her.

No one knew that she was already dead, and that another soul had taken over her body; if they knew, they would not praise her as being someone who had saved the universe in her past life.
