Beauties in Simulation Cross over into Reality

”Is it really that good-looking?” Xiao Mo asked.

”Hm?”

Qin Siyao nodded, reaching out with a fair, slender hand to gently stroke Xiao Mo’s cheek, her eyes filled with a soft light.

”When Brother Your Majesty wears this mask...”

”...you look so handsome.”

...

”Here.”

”And here.”

”This part needs sweeping too.”

”The tables have to be wiped clean as well.”

In the front courtyard of Ningxue Hall, Chunyan was directing the Palace Maids as they cleaned.

Chunyan had entered the palace with her lady last night.

However, Chunyan wanted to give His Majesty a surprise. She wanted him to know that the Yan Family Woman he was marrying was the same girl he had already met on three separate occasions. To achieve this, she had hidden herself within the wedding procession.

Xiao Mo, who had been busy to the point of being dizzy, had indeed not noticed Chunyan.

What Chunyan ultimately found regrettable was that her lady had indeed given His Majesty a surprise.

His Majesty was even going to spend the night in her lady’s chambers.

But unexpectedly, because he was too exhausted and had drunk too much, His Majesty simply passed out...

Otherwise, her lady might have conceived the Emperor’s child last night.

”Didn’t you see the leaves over there? Hurry up and sweep them!”

The more she thought about it, the more of a shame she felt it was. Pouting, she shouted at the Palace Maids with a hint of frustration.

But before long, the sound of a carriage and horses came from outside Ningxue Hall.

”My lady, you’re back.”

Seeing her lady return to Ningxue Hall, Chunyan happily walked over.

”Yes.” Bai Ruxue nodded and smiled. ”How has it been? Are you bored in the palace? I told you that you didn’t have to enter the palace with me. If you want to leave now, I can arrange for you to be sent out.”

”Not at all, my lady! I’m not bored.” Chunyan quickly shook her head. ”This servant has followed you since I was little. Wherever you are, this servant will naturally be as well. Please don’t send this servant away.”

”Since you’re willing to stay, I couldn’t be happier. Why would I send you away?” Bai Ruxue said with a smile, flicking her on the forehead.

”Hee hee hee...” Chunyan rubbed her forehead and happily hugged her lady’s arm, then glanced behind her. ”Eh? My lady, didn’t His Majesty come back with you?”

”His Majesty has likely gone to see Consort Mu,” Bai Ruxue said calmly.

Chunyan immediately grew anxious. ”My lady! Now that His Majesty has gone to Consort Mu’s, doesn’t that mean he and Consort Mu will... What if Consort Mu becomes pregnant with a royal son first? This...”

”Alright, alright.” Bai Ruxue patted her head. ”I’m going to my room to rest. You can go about your duties, but remember, being in the palace is not like being in the Yan Mansion. Don’t break the rules, understand?”

”I understand, my lady...”

Chunyan lowered her head. ’Why isn’t my lady worried at all?’ she thought.

’The competition for favor in the rear palace is a major affair.’

’I’ve read in storybooks that the struggle for favor in the rear palace can even be a life-or-death battle...’

But her lady was just as composed as ever. It was as if nothing was ever a big deal to her; she was always so calm and unruffled.

Bai Ruxue said no more and turned to walk into her bedchamber.

The moment Bai Ruxue stepped back into her room, an Array that blocked Divine Sense was laid out in the bedchamber.

When Bai Ruxue turned around, a young woman in a long, cyan dress was standing before her.

”Sister...” Xiao Qing called out softly, a hint of anxiety in her expression.

Xiao Qing had entered the palace with the procession yesterday, but she hadn’t had a chance to speak with her sister alone. She was dying of anxiety.

”If something is the matter, you can tell me slowly. Have some tea first.”

Bai Ruxue gently smoothed her skirt, sat on a stool, and poured Xiao Qing a cup of tea. ”What did the Sovereign of the Nine-tailed Country say? Did she agree to our terms?”

About half a year ago, there had been major movements in the Demon Race’s World. The Nine-tailed Country, in particular, had been annexing smaller surrounding nations, showing signs of intending to attack the World of Ten Thousand Laws.

To prevent the Sovereign of the Nine-tailed Country from disrupting her plans and her wedding, Bai Ruxue had sent Xiao Qing to the Nine-tailed Country to ensure they didn’t cause any major trouble in the near future.

”The Sovereign of the Nine-tailed Country is as unreasonable as ever. She said she’ll do what she wants to do, when she wants to do it, and won’t be influenced by anyone.”

Xiao Qing sighed and shook her head. ”The good news is, the Sovereign doesn’t seem to have any intention of attacking the World of Ten Thousand Laws at the moment. But in ten years, everything could change. After all, she is that old cripple’s granddaughter and has inherited her grandfather’s last wishes. She’s even on the verge of becoming the Common Ruler of the Demon Race’s World.”

”By the way, Sister, what exactly did Brother Xiao do to the Sovereign of the Nine-tailed Country in that past life? Why does she hate him to the bone, so much that killing him once wasn’t enough? She has continued to hunt him down to this day, pursuing him through life after life without letting go,” Xiao Qing asked her sister, confused.

”Who knows?”

Bai Ruxue shook her head, her gaze drifting to the horizon outside the window.

”The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox clan is born for love and attains their Dao through love. But how many have also died for love? Of the eighty thousand written characters, the word ’love’ is the most inscrutable.”

Bai Ruxue drew back her gaze and continued, ”Since the Sovereign of the Nine-tailed Country is unwilling to make a pact with us, then let it be. We just need to handle our own affairs. As for the matter of the Great Wall of China, we must still provide help where it’s needed, understand?”

”I understand, Sister.”

Xiao Qing replied.

But Xiao Qing’s eyes darted about, and she looked as if she wanted to say something but was holding back.

Bai Ruxue glanced at Xiao Qing and said softly, ”There is nothing we two sisters need to hide from each other. If you have something to say, just say it.”

”Sister... when will you tell Brother Xiao the truth and take him away? So what if there’s a Remnant Divine Spirit above the clouds, behind the Celestial Gate?”

”You’ve reached Ascension Realm Perfection, Sister. If you were to merge your Dao with the Four Seas, could that Remnant Divine Spirit truly stop you?”

Xiao Qing bit her lip, voicing her doubts.

Ever since Brother Xiao left her for the second time, and after Sister learned he had been noticed by the Divine Spirits in the heavens, she immediately concealed her identity, retreated behind the scenes, and had Si Zhu take on the role of the Lord of the Four Seas.

Si Zhu is a woman who, by a fortunate coincidence, was taken in by Sister as a disciple.

Thousands of years have passed, and the world believes the Lord of the Four Seas is a blue dragon at Immortal Realm Perfection. Only a few old-timers from powerful, high-ranking Major Sects know who the true Lord of the Four Seas is.

The reason Sister did all this was because Brother Xiao had died for her back then. The karmic bond of love between Sister and Brother Xiao was like a red thread that was noticed by that Remnant Divine Spirit in the heavens.

Later, Sister used her heaven-defying abilities and expended a great deal of effort to finally conceal this red thread.

To prevent that Remnant Divine Spirit from following the red thread to find Brother Xiao, Sister couldn’t too obviously resume her karmic connection with him.

Otherwise, the red thread would reappear and be noticed by that Divine Spirit.

But in Xiao Qing’s view, her sister’s current Realm was terrifyingly powerful. If she was willing, she could merge her Dao with the Four Seas and stepping into the legendary Second Realm wouldn’t even be impossible.

’Does Sister really need to appear under a false identity?’

”Silly girl.”

Listening to her sister’s words, Bai Ruxue smiled gently and tapped her on the forehead.

”Who said that there’s truly only one Remnant Divine Spirit left in this world?”

”Sister... what do you mean by that?” Xiao Qing blinked blankly.

”In the Ancient Times, those legendary Divine Spirits did indeed all die. But... will they really stay ’dead’ forever?”

Bai Ruxue shook her head, a heavy look flashing in her eyes.

”And who do you think it was, back in the Ancient Times, who killed all those celestial gods sitting high upon the clouds?”

”If those celestial gods were to live again, who do you think they would hate the most?”

Hearing her sister’s words, Xiao Qing’s eyes flickered and she swallowed hard, but she didn’t dare voice her speculation.

”Oh, Xiao Qing...”

Bai Ruxue folded her hands on her well-proportioned thighs, her peach-blossom eyes seeming to contain all the spring of the world.

”I don’t want to lose him again...”

”He protected me twice.”

”This time...”

”...it’s my turn.”
