Chapter 2177: Honeymoon Extra—The Monster Emperor’s Beloved Husband (Part 21)

Gu Shengyin watched them leave with cold eyes.

Once they arrived at the Punishment Hall, naturally someone there would make them confess their actions, their oversights, and reveal everything in full detail!

Ever since she inhabited this body, she had never lost her temper.

But now, she must let all the Monster Race see that the Monster Empress Bai Yin was not someone who had changed her ways; she hadn’t lost her temper just because she hadn’t encountered anything that angered her yet.

And today, what this Monster named Yu Lou did clearly crossed her boundaries.

Even if it’s not her true self, Gu Shengyin was unwilling to let her lover suffer even the slightest grievance.

She wanted everyone to know that the Monster Lord He Qionglou was the Monster Emperor’s reverse scale, touching it meant death!

The Monster Emperor’s Palace changed to a new Guard Commander, and those personal maids of the Monster Emperor took a full half-month of rest before they returned to the palace.

It’s just that they became more cautious and prudent.

The ease of the past period made them lower their guard, and now having learned their lesson, they naturally dared not make any more mistakes.

And this time, His Majesty the Monster Lord’s seclusion also allowed all of the Monster Race to see clearly the significance of His Majesty the Monster Lord in His Majesty the Monster Emperor’s heart.

With a Heaven-Devouring Python’s Bloodline nature, His Majesty’s seclusion lasting two years, during which time, His Majesty the Monster Emperor had never summoned any Monster Race at all.

This could be considered an incredibly unbelievable thing.

After all, the Snake Race’s nature, once indulged, the Bloodline Power constantly surges within the body; abstaining for two years is virtually a torturous ordeal.

Yet, His Majesty the Monster Emperor achieved it.

From then on, those Monsters with unspeakable and unclear desires for the Monster Emperor were completely disheartened, and no Monster Race dared think lightly of the Monster Lord anymore.

Actually... these Monsters completely overthought it.

Indulging in pleasures is indeed the Bloodline nature of the Heaven-Devouring Python. Generally, clansmen cannot suppress it, and to control it, one needs strong willpower.

However, Gu Shengyin was not one of them.

Her strength was powerful enough to suppress the impulses within this body, and it wasn’t as agonizing as rumored.

The pleasure between her and her lover was entirely born of affection; powerful beings like Ji Yu and Gu Shengyin, how could they allow themselves to be controlled by mere bodily desires?

Concerning some of the current rumors outside, Gu Shengyin also listened.

She simply did not stop them, nor did she clarify.

Such rumors couldn’t affect her but instead made the Monster Race even more reverent of the Monster Lord.

If that’s the case, then let them be.

"Hmm?"

While meditating in the hall, Gu Shengyin suddenly felt a change in expression.

Without opening her eyes, she sensed herself falling into a familiar warm embrace.

"Is it over?" She relaxed in his arms, opening her eyes to look at this man she hadn’t seen in a long time.

"I’m sorry to have kept you waiting."

Ji Yu was somewhat apologetic. For him, it was merely a trip to the Minor World to pick up something, in total just the time of two Zhan Cha, but for this world, perhaps one or two years had passed?

"I want to show you something." He smiled, pulling Gu Shengyin up, raising his hand to set up a barrier.

The purpose of this barrier was not to protect against others spying but rather... to shield from the senses of this world’s laws.

Ji Yu smiled and extended his hand; a lotus flower, white as jade, blossomed from his palm.
