"Fairy Jiang, you have helped me a great deal. How could I harbor improper thoughts about you? Please, don't make such jokes."
Xiao Mo gave a helpless smile.
"It's just that it is late, and the Palace Maids are coming and going outside my bedchambers. I'm worried it might affect your reputation."
"If I'm not worried, why should Your Majesty be?" Jiang Qingyi shot Xiao Mo a look.
"I'm off!"
With that, Jiang Qingyi strode out of the Celestial Dao Altar.
With her back to Xiao Mo, Jiang Qingyi's lips thinned, a hint of displeasure on her face.
'He doesn't even dare to have feelings for me. Coward!'
She whispered to herself, the words audible only to her.
「Half an hour later, Jiang Qingyi arrived at Xiao Mo's bedchambers.」
Jiang Qingyi wrinkled her delicate nose and sniffed the air.
The chambers smelled of Xiao Mo, with no trace of anyone else.
'It seems no other woman has stayed the night here.'
Then again, that made sense.
