Douluo: Cutting me drops treasures; Bi Bidong got addicted

"Hey, have you heard a certain rumor?"

"What rumor?"

"The rumor goes, our Empress has actually been the same person for nearly a thousand years; she is the last Primordial Immortal in the world, ageless and immortal, with boundless magic power."

Once these words were spoken, the surrounding eunuchs and maids all curiously forgot themselves and looked over, faces filled with shock.

"Otherwise, have you ever seen Her Majesty's coronation ceremony?"

At that moment, an old eunuch slowly spoke up, "I entered the imperial palace at the age of ten, and now I am sixty-two years old. I first saw Her Majesty's true face when I was twelve, and at that time, I was struck by her divine presence. The next time I saw Her Majesty was when I was fifty years old. Now that I think about it, Her Majesty's appearance really hasn't changed. Of course, it's also possible that as I've aged, I'm mistaking other people I saw when I was ten for Her Majesty."

After finishing his speech, he sighed and murmured, "I really envy those who can serve Her Majesty up close."

Just then, the others seemed to think of a certain fellow.

"Eunuch An!"

The young Little Eunuch, referred to by Lin Jingyue as Xiao Anzi, stood on the other side with a face full of worry.

"Eunuch An, tell us, does Her Majesty seem like someone who could practice Immortal Law?"

A group of eunuchs crowded around Little Eunuch in the center.

But to their surprise, the Xiao Anzi, who usually spoke in a low and submissive tone in front of Lin Jingyue, now looked very serious, "Talking behind Her Majesty's back—are you all tired of living?"

The eunuchs reluctantly left, not daring to offend Eunuch An.

...

Imperial Garden.

Lin Yi took a long breath out and lay down among the flowers.

The surrounding flowers seemed to have been ravaged, and a large area had been flattened.

So comfortable... This must be what it's like to be a transmigrator, Lin Yi suddenly couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"It's time to sleep, Ancestral Patriarch. Let's go to my chamber; Jing Yue will accompany you to sleep."

After speaking, Lin Jingyue sat up, put on her clothes one by one, casually tied up her hair, and with one glance back, her allure could topple kingdoms.

Lin Yi looked up, "You're coming again?"

Lin Jingyue put on a sad expression, "How could I? My body is almost falling apart; I'm really tired this time, just going to sleep..."

She took Lin Yi's hand and walked toward the distant palace.

They bathed first before sleeping, as they had labored twice today and were covered in sweat. They both stepped into the bath together, but it wasn't long before sounds of splashing water stirred from the bath again.

In the end, Lin Yi held the soft-bodied Lin Jingyue as they entered the bedchamber.

The two lay in bed, smiling bitterly at each other, "Let's sleep, let's sleep, I'm really tired, this time for sure."

An hour later, the moon in the night sky had moved elsewhere, and the imperial palace was peaceful.

Suddenly, the sound of the creaking bed startled a few sparrows away from the window.

The night passed without a word.

Lin Yi had never been so tired before. It's true, people who don't exercise regularly can feel out of breath just walking a few steps.

The next morning, Lin Yi opened his eyes and stretched comfortably.

I haven't slept this comfortably in a long time. On Soul Land, I was like the father of a bunch of kids, waking up in the morning to feed the ravenous little ones.

But at least these kids were obedient and didn't cause Lin Yi a headache with their upbringing.

Lin Yi turned his head; Lin Jingyue was still sleeping soundly.

She wore a thin nightgown, her alluring curves nearly visible beneath it, and looking at the expanse of fair skin on her chest, Lin Yi leaned in again.

The two sparrows at the window were scared off once more by the noise.

The sun climbed high.

Lin Jingyue woke groggily from the bed, her hair a disheveled mess, looking as though she'd been ravished.

It took her a long while to gather her wits.

She turned her head, only to find Lin Yi's figure was already gone from beside her.

Looking at the vacant bed, Lin Jingyue's complexion changed instantly, panic filling her entire being as she trembled and climbed out of bed, shouting loudly, "Ancestral Patriarch!"

"Ancestral Patriarch!"

"Ancestral Patriarch!"

Lin Jingyue crouched on the ground, burying her face in her knees, her figure as lonely as it had been hundreds of years before.

"What's wrong?"

Just then, Lin Yi suddenly popped his head out from behind the curtain, looking over with confusion.

Lin Jingyue lifted her head, her dim eyes regaining their sparkle as she smiled, still seemingly dazed as she stared at Lin Yi, "It's... it's nothing, what are you doing?"

In his left hand, Lin Yi held half an orange; in his right, a fruit knife, with an apron tied around his waist.

"Making fruit salad."

"Ah?"

"Come over and take a look."

Watching Lin Yi's back, Lin Jingyue quickly wiped away the tear stains from the corners of her eyes, having thought just moments ago that Lin Yi had left. It was a false alarm.

If the Ancestral Patriarch had broken his promise, she wouldn't have hated him, but the next two hundred years would have been even more difficult than the last two hundred years.

Joy and happiness filled Lin Jingyue's heart once more, as she followed behind Lin Yi with a spring in her step.

Lin Jingyue was surprised by the sight on the table.

She saw cut fruits soaking in a white liquid; was this the so-called fruit salad?

Lin Jingyue stood close to Lin Yi, asking curiously, "What's this white stuff?"

"Guess, what do you think it looks like?"

Lin Jingyue pondered and suddenly blushed, "It looks like last night..."

Lin Yi grinned, "Right, taste it."

"Ah????! What?!"

Shocked, Lin Jingyue watched as Lin Yi handed her a bowl; she could only obey, closing her eyes and opening her mouth.

Seeing so many fruits in Lin Jingyue's bedroom, Lin Yi suddenly wanted to eat fruit salad. He didn't expect that the System could even help him get yogurt, fulfilling his wish.

As the yogurt entered her mouth, Lin Jingyue's eyes widened in amazement, "It's sour and sweet, not salty?"

"This is called yogurt, fermented from milk."

"As expected of the Ancestral Patriarch, you know so much!"

Lin Yi laughed, passing her the fruit knife to use as a fork.

"I've just tried it; you eat."

Lin Jingyue shook her head, "I didn't see it, so it doesn't count. You eat first, Ancestral Patriarch!"

She speared a piece of fruit with the knife and brought it to Lin Yi's mouth.

Not until every piece of fruit in the bowl had been fed to Lin Yi by Lin Jingyue did he frown, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Lin Jingyue smiled, "I'll drink the yogurt; it's delicious."

Fine, before I leave I'll leave the method to make yogurt here, Lin Yi thought to himself.

He patted Lin Jingyue's head and moved to the side of the window to bask in the sun.

Over the next three days, Lin Yi spent day and night with Lin Jingyue in the imperial palace.

On the fourth day, the imperial palace opened, and everyone returned.

Lin Yi and Lin Jingyue then headed to the continent's border, the rumored dwelling place of the Immortals.

It was also where the souls of Lin Jingyue's three brothers and sisters had returned.

Lin Yi planned to accompany her to take a look, then head back to Soul Land. With that, the trip would be complete.
