Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

43: Keeping a mistress[Iron Time Dimension Xia Mei: Based on my years of experience reading novels, this is definitely a body double trope. The Emperor falls in love with a woman from a courtesan house, but later he’s stopped by the court officials or the Empress Dowager. The woman might even be silenced, and then the Emperor finds a substitute.]

[Xia Yu from Iron Space: Heh! Flower-crazed Mei, it’s a pity you didn’t become a screenwriter!]

[Jin Bao San from Gold Space: It’s definitely about unrequited love. Otherwise, why would this Emperor be so—what’s the word to describe it?]

[Wood Time-Space: Lonely, desolate. And his actions toward Consort Rou are very rough; he has no tenderness for the fair sex at all.]

[Jin Bao San from Gold Space: Right, the person above is correct. This Emperor really doesn’t know how to be tender. Such a great beauty, and he’s so violent. If it were me, I’d cherish her...]

[Gold Time Dimension Sister Sha: Eww, Jin Baosan, if Consort Rou were pinned down by you, I think she’d rather die!]

In Class One, sunlight streamed through the windows into the classroom, reflecting a bright and warm scene.

However, within this seemingly peaceful and harmonious atmosphere, a farce was quietly unfolding.

Jin Baosan’s chubby face was covered in smiles, his eyes squinted into slits, as he stared at Sister Sha with a face full of love.

His fawning appearance couldn’t help but make people feel disgusted, but he was completely oblivious, continuing his soulful confession to Sister Sha: ”Sister Sha, you really don’t need to be jealous! My heart for you can be witnessed by heaven and earth. There is absolutely no one in this world who loves you more than I do. And as long as you’re willing...”

Before Jin Baosan could finish speaking, Sister Sha could no longer endure the disgust in her heart.

Her brows furrowed, a hint of impatience and anger showing in her eyes. Immediately after, she sent a kick flying, ruthlessly striking Jin Baosan.

With a dull ”thud,” the defenseless Jin Baosan was instantly sent flying like a cannonball.

A shrill scream escaped his mouth: ”Ah!” His entire body traced an arc through the air before crashing heavily onto the ground.

Because this sudden strike was too violent, Jin Baosan lay on the ground groaning in pain, his hands tightly clutching his stomach, his face turning as pale as paper.

Seeing this scene, the students of Class One only shook their heads habitually, as if such a scene had already happened countless times.

At this moment, several of Jin Baosan’s lackeys rushed out upon seeing the situation. They surrounded Jin Baosan with worried faces, shouting over each other: ”Boss, how are you? Are you okay?” One small guy was so anxious he was almost crying.

Meanwhile, although Jin Baosan was grinning in pain, he still forced a hideous smile and said: ”I... I’m fine, don’t make a fuss...” Saying that, he struggled to get up from the ground, but as soon as he moved, the sharp pain from his abdomen made him collapse back down.

[Emperor returned to his palace and dismissed everyone. However, he did not rest. Instead, he went to his Dragon bed, pressed a switch at the head of the bed, and revealed a staircase leading underground.]

[Silver Time Space Xiao Qiao: Here it comes! What on earth is it?]

[Copper Time Dimension Jie Ke: A golden house hiding a beauty???]

[Jiu Lai from Iron Space: Huh? An Emperor, what kind of woman can’t he have? Why would he need to hide one?!]

[Duan Chang Ren: It couldn’t possibly be a rebellion, right? He’s the Emperor himself!]

Everyone discussed fervently, guessing what secrets lay in the basement, their eyes fixed unblinkingly on the heavenly screen.

[As the camera gradually zoomed in, Emperor’s slender figure slowly appeared in the frame. He walked down the stairs with steady steps, one by one, as if every step carried a weight of a thousand pounds. Finally, he arrived at the basement.]

[This basement was spacious and bright, completely different from the dark and damp place people usually imagined. From the layout and decorations, it was clearly a place where a woman lived. Exquisite paintings hung on the walls, delicate flowers were placed in the corners, and the entire space was filled with a warm and elegant atmosphere.]

[Emperor walked straight to one of the bedrooms, gently pushed open the door, and stepped inside. A large bed was placed in the center of the room, and on the bed, a woman was actually chained up.]

[Xia Mei: Wow, Snob, it has to be you; you’d actually do something like this!]

[Silver Time-Space Zhang Fei: Is it really unrequited love?]

[The woman’s eyes were tightly closed, appearing to be in a deep sleep, but her furrowed brows revealed her inner turmoil; she couldn’t find true peace even in her dreams. What was even more shocking was that her hands and feet were tightly bound by heavy chains, restricting her range of movement.]

[Emperor walked to the bedside and gazed at the woman on the bed. His eyes were filled with love, obsession, and madness. That intense possessiveness almost overflowed from his eyes, making people shiver. He whispered softly: ”Rou’er!” His voice was as gentle as a spring breeze.]

[Arthur Wang: This feels like a yandere.]

[Wang Dadong: This kind of person is the most classless.]

[Just then, the sleeping woman seemed to feel something and suddenly opened her eyes. When she saw that the person before her was Emperor, a look of disgust immediately appeared on her face. She glared at him fiercely and roared: ”Why are you here again!”]

[Xiao Feng from Copper Space: He loves her, she doesn’t love him, she loves her...]

[Iron Time-Space A Kou: So melodramatic!]

[However, Emperor seemed long accustomed to such an attitude and didn’t take it to heart at all. He still said in an incredibly soft tone: ”I missed you!” As he spoke, he slowly sat by the bed and reached out his hand, wanting to stroke the woman’s face.]

[The woman called Rou’er saw this and quickly turned her head away, avoiding Emperor’s touch, and responded through gritted teeth: ”Don’t touch me!”]

[Emperor laughed, but it was a mad laugh. ”You won’t let me touch you, but my brother can?”]

[Illusion Time-Space: Wow, this is the sister-in-law!!!]

[Wood Time-Space: This is...]

[Jin Bao San from Gold Space: It’s ***]

[Sun Shang Xiang from Silver Space: They aren’t blood-related, so it doesn’t count, right?]

[...]

[Emperor’s expression instantly became incredibly gloomy. He stared fiercely at the woman before him and said through gritted teeth: ”Every night you languish beneath me in pleasure, yet in your heart, are you still thinking about my brother?”]

[Hao Jiaqi: This is called love? Every day after favoring his concubines, he comes to tell this Rou’er he loves her. This is just enjoying the blessing of having multiple wives. Yuck!]

[Xiaoyu: Jiaqi...]

[Rou’er’s delicate body trembled violently, her beautiful eyes tightly shut as two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks. She bit her lower lip and said in a trembling voice: ”I... I’ll just treat it as being bitten by a mad dog!”]

[Iron Time-Space Xia Tian: Big brother, you can’t be like this!]

[Xia Yu from Iron Space: It’s not me! Shut up!]

[Hearing this, the muscles on Emperor’s face twisted, revealing a sinister smile: ”Fine, since that’s the case, then today I will let you properly enjoy the taste of being bitten by a ’mad dog’!” With that, he quickly unlocked the chains and pounced on Rou’er like a hungry tiger.]

[Rou’er struggled desperately, but how could her weak body withstand Emperor’s strength? Emperor lowered his head and dominantly kissed the twisting woman beneath him. Rou’er had nowhere to hide and could only close her eyes in despair, tears flowing incessantly.]

[Silver Time-Space Zhang Fei: Ah! Is this something I’m allowed to watch?]

[Sun Ce: Sun Shangxiang, don’t look!]

[Sun Shang Xiang from Silver Space: How do you know I’m looking!!!]

[The atmosphere in the room became increasingly heated, as if the air itself was about to catch fire. Rou’er tried hard to restrain herself from making any sound, yet Emperor seemed to be deliberately acting against her. Just as she caught her breath, he suddenly increased his intensity...]

In Class One, Ding Xiaoyu’s face was flushed as he listened to the sounds from the heavenly screen and looked at Jiaqi!

”Jia...qi, you can’t watch!”

As he spoke, he tried to cover Jiaqi’s eyes. Hao Jiaqi threw herself into Xiaoyu’s arms. ”Then I won’t watch. Let me hug you once, okay!”

Ding Xiaoyu instantly went stiff all over, not daring to move!

Arthur Wang also felt very embarrassed listening, but looking at Xiaoyu, he seemed to have it worse! He couldn’t help but stifle a laugh at the corner of his mouth!

The students of Class One all ran away. Wang Dadong covered his ears. ”This heavenly screen, can’t it block these things? Doesn’t it know they’re not suitable for minors?”

Arthur Wang: ”I think minors won’t be able to see it!”

[Rou’er only felt as if she were being tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand, unable to break free. That intense feeling made it difficult for her to...!]

[Emperor gazed infatuatedly at the girl beneath him who made his heart flutter. Her delicate and charming appearance was like a flower blooming in spring, emitting a captivating fragrance. Every subtle expression and every slight blink of her eyes struck Emperor’s heartstrings like an electric current.]

[He couldn’t help but want to hold her tightly in his arms, to let her completely merge into his body and never be separated again. This desire was so strong that he felt the entire world consisted only of the two of them, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.]

[However, a beautiful dream must eventually face the moment of awakening. When the passion receded like a tide, he held her tightly in his arms, his voice filled with endless attachment and unwillingness: ”Rou’er, why do you always refuse to accept my love? I love you!”]

[Rou’er remained silent because she knew deep down that the person she loved in her heart was not the man before her. She only spoke coldly, her tone so icy it seemed to freeze the surrounding air: ”Get out!” These two words were like a sharp blade, heartlessly stabbing into Emperor’s heart.]

[Jiu Lai from Iron Space: Ah? This...]

[Iron Time Space Jiu Wu: Xiao Lai! Do you want to fall in love?]

[Jiu Lai from Iron Space: Uh, no... no!]

[Iron Time Dimension Xia Liu: People are making babies, what are you all watching? Shame on you!]

[Xia Yu from Iron Space: Grandpa!!!]

[Emperor did not feel disappointed by the lack of response; after all, the beauty was already in his arms. He slowly got up, but he didn’t leave as Rou’er wished. Instead, he brought a soft pillow and gently placed it under her hips...]

[”Give me a child. As long as you bear a child for me, I might consider letting you go free.” Emperor gazed at Rou’er, his gaze firm and unquestionable, gazing at Rou’er, his gaze firm and unquestionable.]

[At this moment, Rou’er’s delicate body lay limp on the bed, as if all her strength had been drained. Her beautiful eyes stared straight at Emperor before her, filled with disbelief and doubt: ”You... is what you said true?” Her voice trembled slightly, carrying a hint of uncertainty.]

[Silver Time Space Xiao Qiao: I think it’s a lie!]

[Sun Shang Xiang from Silver Space: I also think it’s a lie. There must be an even bigger conspiracy!]

[As for Emperor, who stood opposite her, he quietly gazed at Rou’er’s face, which was slightly dazed from the surprise. Deep in his eyes, it was as if a storm was brewing, undercurrents surging, yet he remained calm on the surface. He nodded firmly and replied with a resolute tone: ”Really! Absolutely true!”]

[Hearing such a certain answer from Emperor, Rou’er’s tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little. Although she still had some doubts in her heart, seeing Emperor’s serious and earnest expression, she chose to temporarily believe what he said. After all, all this time, Emperor had never lied to her.]

[Xiao Yang: I also think this Rou’er has been tricked. The Emperor’s eyes are so obsessive and crazy, how could he possibly let her go!]

[Hao Jiaqi: Once loved by a man like this, there’s no escaping!]
