No matter how the system tried to persuade her, Yaohua ignored it.
Chongming saw her falling into a daze again, and his eyes darkened involuntarily.
After the flower - viewing, Yaohua returned to her boudoir to rest, while Chongming sat in meditation in the study to practice and deal with the affairs of the Celestial Realm by the way.
The system sighed regretfully: "What a good opportunity after the flower - viewing. It's a pity, host, you don't know how to seize it."
"Didn't I seize it?" Yaohua retorted. "In such a beautiful moment, Chongming and I have understood each other's hearts. How can you say I didn't seize the opportunity?"
The system said in disappointment, "Just verbally understanding each other's hearts doesn't count. Practical actions are more important. You could have taken the opportunity to push him down!"
Yaohua was stunned. After figuring out the meaning of "push down", her face instantly turned as red as a ripe tomato. "You... Why do you always think about such things?"
Seeing her shy, the system advised, "When a woman pursues a man, it's just like there is only a thin veil between them. If you don't muster up the courage to push him down today, what if someone else takes the lead?"
Yaohua pretended to be coy. "Such things should be done only when both parties are willing."
"You two are in love. Why isn't that being willing?" the system persuaded.
Yaohua struggled for a long time.
"Let's forget it."
The system was very disappointed with her after failing to persuade her after so much talking. "Host, can you be more ambitious? If you're really worried, I can provide you with herbs. Then you can find a way to mix them into Chongming's food. After you have a relationship, you can just say it was an accidental ingestion of the herbs."
Yaohua shook her head repeatedly. "I won't drug him."
The system was helpless. "This won't do, that won't do. What on earth do you want?"
"Can't we just wait until the right time to have a relationship?" Yaohua whispered. "Moreover, I'm a woman. I should be more reserved. How can I take the initiative to push others down?"
The system was speechless and had no choice but to leave her some tips on how to handle one's husband. "I can only teach you this much. You can figure out the rest slowly."
Yaohua felt bored while reading in the room. After much thought, she took some bamboo slips and went to the study.
Chongming was sitting at the desk dealing with affairs. Little paper cranes flew back and forth in the room as messengers.
She carefully dodged the paper cranes and then quietly came behind him. She covered his eyes and deliberately asked in a hoarse voice, "Guess who I am?"
Chongming smiled gently. "It's Yaohua."
"No, no." Yaohua said in a rough voice. "I'm your newly - wedded wife who has married you in a formal ceremony!"
After saying that, she couldn't help laughing. Chongming also laughed. He grabbed her hand and asked affectionately, "Are you bored staying alone, so you come to find me?"
Yaohua didn't know what to say for a moment. She couldn't very well say that she came to study the tips on handling her husband.
"I didn't come to play with you." Finally, she waved the bamboo slips in her hand. "I came here to look through books and learn new spells."
Although she didn't want the system's goal to be achieved, she was still very interested in the ways of handling one's husband!
After painstakingly studying for several hours, she threw the bamboo slips aside and proposed, "Let's go for a spring outing on the mountain!"
Chongming was dealing with affairs beside her. Hearing this, he picked up the bamboo slips. "Don't be willful. This..."
When he saw the content of the bamboo slips in his hand, his expression became very complicated.
Yaohua quickly snatched the bamboo slips back. Her face was completely red. "How can you peek at other people's things?"
Chongming was momentarily speechless. "This... Is it my fault?"
Yaohua said angrily, "Of course it's your fault. If it weren't for you, would I have to bother reading these books?"
Chongming was stunned for a while and then suddenly let out a muffled laugh. "You actually read these books for me. You're really cute."
"It's all your fault. Do you admit it?" Yaohua questioned.
Chongming nodded and admitted his fault.
Seeing that he dared to admit such an absurd fault, Yaohua knew how much he cared about her. He was even willing to turn black and white upside down. She couldn't help scolding, "Then I'm going to punish you."
"What will you punish me for?" Chongming pulled her into his arms and asked slowly. His lowered voice carried a hint of tenderness.
Yaohua was filled with sweetness. She smiled cunningly. "How about punishing you to go on a spring outing with me?"
Chongming would never refuse her. He threw the bamboo slips aside and then pulled her into his arms.
The atmosphere was just right. They looked into each other's eyes. She shyly closed her eyes.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Seeing the two of them in such an intimate posture, Xunhuan was greatly shocked. "You... You two!"
"What's all the fuss about?" Tuyang's voice came from behind her. "Xunhuan, although we're here by the order of the God - Lord, we should knock on the door before entering—"
Tuyang's voice suddenly stopped. She looked at the intimate actions of the master and disciple inside. Her face changed several times.
A romantic relationship between a master and a disciple was a big taboo in the Celestial Realm.
In the past, people only knew that Chongming and Yaohua had a deep master - disciple relationship. Even if they occasionally had some extraordinary actions, they were all regarded as just the affection between a master and a disciple. But today's scene far exceeded the scope of master - disciple affection!
Chongming calmly let go of Yaohua and asked as if nothing had happened, "Why are you here?"
Xunhuan excitedly questioned, "You two are master and disciple. How can you do such things?"
In addition to shock, there was more realization, unwillingness and resentment in her heart.
No wonder, no wonder the God would repeatedly reject her. It turned out that someone was closer and had already won his heart!
It turned out that the God wasn't cold - hearted to everyone. He was just bewitched by someone!
This Yaohua was so hateful. She actually seduced the God into doing such things!
She completely blamed Yaohua. The malice in her eyes was almost tangible.
As long as Yaohua disappeared, she could take advantage of the situation and monopolize the God's favor.
Although she didn't explicitly say her plan, her eyes made Yaohua understand. Yaohua couldn't help raising her head and glaring back without hesitation.
Chongming looked at her coldly, showing his displeasure.
Xunhuan was about to say more, but Tuyang held her down. "Now, the demons all respect Zhaoyue. Most of the Divine Land has fallen into the hands of the demons. The common people are suffering. Although all the gods in the Celestial Realm have gone out, they are still not strong enough. So..."
She paused and her eyes wandered between him and Yaohua. "Everyone hopes that you can take action to pacify the chaos caused by the demons."
Chongming took out the Umbrella of the People. Tuyang stared intently at the bloodstains on the umbrella and sighed, "When war breaks out everywhere, it's always the common people who suffer. Although we are gods and enjoy their offerings, we haven't protected them. We should be extremely ashamed."
Yaohua showed a hesitant look. "But..."
