Chapter 429: The Smile Won’t Fade
At this moment, not only the Demon Cultivators were munching popcorn and watching the show.
Chun Lan and Qiu Ju on either side of the flower sedan also quietly lifted their heads to look at the scene, occasionally exchanging glances filled with amusement.
…The Young Master Sang and the Palace Master are at it again with their new tricks.
…This time, are we also part of their play?
The generals leading from the Holy Kingdom, including the acting national master, Xiang Zimo, were also watching the drama with great interest.
Even Grand Eunuch Qin, the head of the inner palace, occasionally raised an eyelid to surreptitiously observe the actions of the two in the center.
Meanwhile, far away among the Demon Clan’s army, Long Xiao and the heads of various demon tribes were all gathered before the Shadow Demon, looking excited.
“Good! Looks like their grudges run deep!”
“Lord Immortal Medicine’s move, the Giant Tiger Swallowing the Wolf, is fantastic!”
“Let them fight! I love watching women fight!”
In an instant, it seemed everyone had reached some sort of tacit understanding.
All stood still, quietly eating popcorn and watching the drama unfold.

As Gu Yingmian stepped out of the flower sedan, the air around her seemed to fill with a hint of floral fragrance. Petals danced in the air, vividly intertwining reality and illusion.
“Your Majesty.”
Gu Yingmian’s voice was gentle and melodious, as if devoid of any emotion: “Does Your Majesty truly believe that Young Master Sang has grown tired of me and is no longer interested?”
“Isn’t that the truth?” Huo Ningxue provocatively raised her chin.
Gu Yingmian looked down in contemplation for a long moment before slowly smiling.
“…Alright then.”
“Stop pretending.”
“Your Majesty, you’ve never actually consummated the marriage with Young Master Sang, have you?”
Huo Ningxue’s smile froze.
“Your Majesty may sound fierce, but I suspect you’re actually a bit insecure, right?” Gu Yingmian sighed softly: “After all, without ever consummating the marriage, pretending you know all about it must be exhausting.”
“Ha, what makes you think I haven’t consummated with Young Master Sang?” Huo Ningxue glared ferociously at her.
“It’s simple.”
Gu Yingmian beamed a smile: “Because Young Master Sang’s body doesn’t require royal doctor treatments. And it couldn’t possibly be left untouched.”
“If it were only you needing him… I fear it’s you who needs to be treated.”
In that moment.
Huo Ningxue’s expression flickered from surprise and anger to shame and frustration, finally settling into deep silence.
The dramatic change of expression was so stunning that even Young Master Sang, who was watching from the side, was left in awe.
This is a seasoned performer.
“Your Majesty probably doesn’t know, huh?”
Gu Yingmian slowly walked closer to Huo Ningxue, smiling as she whispered in her ear:
“Of course. You haven’t experienced it.”
“After all, once you’ve tasted the incredibly pleasurable experiences from Young Master Sang, what woman wouldn’t willingly fall for him?”
Xu Yourong and the Demon Cultivators immediately turned to Young Master Sang.
Young Master Sang: “…Cough, cough. It’s all acting, it’s all acting, don’t take it seriously, please.”
Huo Ningxue’s gaze was eerily calm as she looked deeply into Gu Yingmian’s face, taking a long time before squeezing out a few words:
“Rest assured.”
“Consort Sang is both my national master and my concubine. He will eventually be mine alone.”
“Is that so?” Gu Yingmian smiled gently: “With Young Master Sang being so sought after, I’m afraid it won’t just be you, Your Majesty?”
“After all, there are plenty of fields in the family that need tending to.”
Huo Ningxue suddenly waved her sleeve, her voice commanding: “I am the Emperor; as long as Consort Sang desires, I’ll give him the entire world.”
“What do you have to compete with me!”
“Your Majesty is truly humorous.”
Gu Yingmian replied languorously: “In terms of wealth, the Demon Cultivators currently ally with the Floating Splendor Commerce, rich enough to rival nations.”
“In terms of cultivation, I, Your Majesty, am at the peak of the Great Ascension.”
“In terms of beauty, the Sang residence is filled with unparalleled beauties.”
“I wonder what exactly this world that Your Majesty speaks of holds for him?”
Huo Ningxue gazed intensely at Gu Yingmian, and after a long pause, she managed to squeeze out one phrase:
“…I have bigger breasts than you.”
“When we have children, mine will definitely be fatter than yours.”
Gu Yingmian: “?”
Young Master Sang: “?”
The onlookers: “?”
In that moment.
Even though many knew that everything before them was just a performance.
Hearing such shocking words come from the illustrious Empress of the Holy Kingdom was still too much for their eyes to handle.
Even Xu Yourong couldn’t help but lower her voice to ask:
“Wait, Brother Sang, is your ‘skill’ really that impressive? Even to the point of making the Empress say such things?”
“…It’s really not, it’s all acting, all acting. Please, don’t believe any of this, I beg you.”
Young Master Sang explained, drenched in sweat.
These two really were something.
Putting on a play and adding so much drama for themselves.
Isn’t that a bit too extravagant? They’re making themselves look like succubi.
In the center, it seemed struck silent by Huo Ningxue’s words, Gu Yingmian merely glanced at her proud figure before slowly withdrawing her gaze.
“…Although being big and pretty are two different matters.”
Her cheeks flushed slightly: “Young Master Sang really likes my figure, you know.”
“Tch, when Consort Sang held me back then, she said my chest was soft and she liked it too!”
“I never said that! Don’t go spreading rumors or I’ll sue you for defamation!”
“Back then, beside the long pavilion, I had a fateful encounter with Consort Sang, pledging our lives to each other…” Huo Ningxue’s cheeks also flushed happily, “How romantic and charming.”
“I wandered the flower streets with Young Master Sang, a silver tree blooming, and with a kiss, we were bonded for life. That scene is unforgettable,” Gu Yingmian wouldn’t back down either.
“Ha, old feelings have faded. If Palace Master Gu doesn’t withdraw sensibly, you might end up losing face.”
“Oh? My relationship with Young Master Sang is mutual; are you suggesting a lurking cat causing trouble and indulging in disgraceful acts?”
Huo Ningxue’s gaze grew increasingly stern.
Her eyes possessed an innate authority, appearing as formidable as a mountain.
Gu Yingmian maintained her composure, looking serene.
The depth and ethereal quality in her gaze was chilling.
As their eyes met, though undisturbed on the surface, an invisible tension surged, making everyone around watch in awe.
This was comparable to a battle of the Great Ascension!
Looking at the two confronting each other so sharply, Young Master Sang couldn’t help but feel amazed.
“Who would have thought? That Gu sister and Her Majesty would act so convincingly, I can hardly tell if they’re performing anymore.”
Beside him, Hua Jianglian remained silent.
“Sect Leader, do you think women really get jealous over such things in real life?”
Still, no one answered.
“If they weren’t acting, this plot truly is over the top, fighting to such an extent over a man! Haha.”
Young Master Sang turned to Hua Jianglian with a smile: “Don’t you think they’re excellent in their roles?”
Hua Jianglian stared at Young Master Sang quietly.
Young Master Sang’s smile gradually faded.
“They’re just acting… right?”
Hua Jianglian remained silent.
Young Master Sang swallowed hard.
When he turned to look back at the scene, he suddenly found he seemed unable to smile anymore.
