I'm a princess, so what if I have three husbands?

Chapter 416 No Escape from Heaven's Will

Zhongli Yueluo had a lot to say to Yan Ruoyu, not just about the two of them, but about the major events of the entire Dongmo Mountain.

Surrounded by powerful enemies from the outside, and rife with intrigues from within.

But the two of them were soaking in the hot spring.

Because the fox army was out there, there was no one in the hot spring.

A misty haze filled the air, enveloping everything in a swirling, ethereal atmosphere.

Zhongli Yueluo stood in the hot spring. If she could live here and be nourished by this medicinal bath, it would be a wonderful thing.

Once she's dealt with those two despicable people, Zhongli Yu and Gongshu Liang, she'll definitely stay here for several years.

Yan Ruoyu stood quietly beside her without saying a word.

Seeing which hot spring Zhongli Yueluo wanted to go to, he had no mood to flirt with her right now.

His mind was filled with the life-or-death matter of Dongmo Mountain.

Moreover, now that he's back in this timeline, he doesn't know if there have been any recent changes in the imperial court.

What happened to his mother? And what impact did the betrayal of Qianqiu Changhuan and Changyu Xuanyuan have on Dongmo Mountain?

While he was thinking this, he didn't even notice when Zhongli Yueluo stopped in front of him.

He took two steps and bumped into Zhongli Yueluo, almost knocking her over.

Zhongli Yuelu swayed back and forth, her body pulled into Yan Ruoyu's arms.

Yan Ruoyu stared coldly at Zhongli Yueluo's face, then asked, "Princess, what is the meaning of bringing me here?"

"Of course, it's taking a bath together. What else could it mean?"

Zhongli Yueluo broke free from Yan Ruoyu's embrace and twisted her neck.

I don't know how long I slept, but my whole body aches.

I should find a medicinal bath and soak in it properly.

She kept walking forward and finally found a pool with a reddish hue.

Without even checking whether Yan Ruoyu followed, she began to take off her outer robe.

Test the temperature of the pool with your toes.

It didn't feel very hot, so I immediately poured myself into the pool.

With a splash, water sprayed out, startling Yan Ruoyu who was following behind her.

I thought Zhongli Yueluo had been standing on the edge and lost her balance, which is why she slipped in.

Yan Ruoyu didn't even take off her outer robe before jumping into the pool, trying to pull Zhongli Yueluo out.

As a result, Zhongli Yueluo popped her head out and looked at Yan Ruoyu with a comfortable expression.

Then a look of confusion flashed across his face. Why did he jump in too?

Seeing her expression, Yan Ruoyu instantly understood that Zhongli Yueluo had jumped in on her own.

He worried for nothing, but the medicinal soup in the pool she chose was indeed quite good.

"Princess."

As Yan Ruoyu called out to her, he took off his outer robe, revealing a white, sheer inner shirt that made his silhouette appear and disappear.

Zhongli Yueluo swayed in the water, even able to lie flat on the surface, experiencing a strange sense of peace.

“Princess, I finally understand why you looked at me with those eyes when we first met, as if we had traveled through millions of years.”

"Oh? Actually, it's not just that. It's just that you're good-looking."

"Why isn't the princess angry with me?"

Zhongli Yueluo found Yan Ruoyu's words inexplicable. Why should she blame him?

"Should I blame you for not recognizing me at first?"

His pupils trembled slightly, but he didn't answer, so it seemed that Zhongli Yueluo had guessed correctly.

"If it is destiny, then what does it have to do with us? We are all just pawns in the game of Heaven."

Zhongli Yueluo rested her face on her hand by the water's edge, her eyelashes glistening with water droplets.

"Princess, let me see the wound on your hand."

Since he said so, they should go back to how things were before, and their relationship would begin from this moment on.

Zhongli Yueluo stretched her hand out of the water and offered it to Yan Ruoyu.

Yan Ruoyu looked at the whitened wounds, closed her eyes, and gently touched them with her lips.

"A princess should be born into wealth and honor, yet she has to suffer such hardship."

"Ruoyu, you've become more talkative since you came back. Leave these words of concern to the two of them to tell me."

Hearing this, he felt a lump in his throat, and as he recalled those fragments and scenes from before, how could he not be jealous?

"Don't you think what I said came from the bottom of my heart? Doesn't the princess want to hear it?"

Zhongli Yueluo tapped the tip of his nose with her finger, then moved it down to his collarbone.

"We should be talking about the important things now, not these things."

A slight smile played on his lips as he took her hand and placed it against his chest. It was time for them to get down to business.

Have you received any news from Taiji City?

"Nothing is wrong in Taiji City; the only trouble is in these border cities."

“Changyu Xuanyuan should have lost all his magical power back then, but after practicing witchcraft, his magical power became strange.”

Zhongli Yueluo rested her head on Yan Ruoyu's shoulder, looked at his chin, and splashed her hands in the water, deep in thought.

"What are Mu Ling's considerations now? And what about Chang'an?"

"You're calling them by such familiar names; you should at least address them as Lord Wood and Lord Earth."

"Alright, alright, so what are your considerations now, my lords?" Zhongli Yueluo followed his lead.

"Over the years, the one thing that has been hardest for the two of them to accept is you, Princess."

As Yan Ruoyu spoke, a wave of jealousy washed over her again. He rested his chin on the top of her head and stroked it back and forth.

"Ruoyu, in a couple of days I will have Nianhui and Yuhuan send the fallen mulberry flowers back. Please have Yinyi go with them."

"it is good."

"Hu Xing and Hu Yue are the fox clan's most capable lieutenants. We must also devise a plan to take them down..."

As he spoke, his eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous look, and he made a throat-slitting gesture.

Yan Ruoyu slowly released her, looked at Zhongli Yueluo's tightly furrowed brows, and gently rubbed her brows with the tip of her nose.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. I don't know if you know it, but I think you can probably guess it already."

"The matter of the Northern Demon Mountain barrier?"

Zhongli Yueluo nodded, changed her position, and submerged herself in the water, with only her head above water.

"Even if we don't touch the taboo of the Northern Demon Mountain, it's about time they came out of the mountain."

"The world, after a long period of division, will unite; after a long period of unity, will divide again. I think this is the truth."

She still kept that secret and didn't tell anyone.

She felt it wasn't the right time yet; at least the recent crisis needed to be resolved.

Hu Xing returned with Zhongli Yueluo's blood, while Zhongli Yu sat cross-legged on a chaise lounge.

Her eyelids drooped slightly, and her eyes shimmered with a purple light, as if every frown and smile could bewitch all beings.

"Did you bring the things back?" The voice was ethereal and otherworldly, seemingly omnipresent.

"Yes, princess."

Zhong Liyu sat up slightly, opened the bottle Hu Xing handed her, and sniffed it.

Yes, it's that bitch's smell.

"Now that we've got the goods, bring the two of them up to me."
