”Ah—”
The scream came from the Tenth Princess, who had just been woken up.
”Ah—”
At the same time, another scream came from the Xuanji Empress, who was just getting heated with Epsilon.
The Tenth Princess sat up straight on her bed, staring dumbly at her honorable mother, stark naked, under another man's body, entwined together like wild beasts. If not for the fact that her face was too familiar, she nearly wanted to believe that it was another woman pretending to be the Empress.
Nonetheless, she still refused to believe it, dimly putting a finger in her mouth and biting hard. The sharp pain that shot from her finger caused her to cry out again, and even though she now knew that this was the reality and not some nightmare, she still couldn't accept it.
She continued screaming, grabbing the sheets on the bed and covering her head with it, her entire body shrinking into the bed. Then, she stopped moving.
The Xuanji Empress had already turned into a dead fish, hardened into a thousand-year-old preserved corpse. She lay there stiffly on the thick, warm rug, her legs still curled in agitation, veins popping through her jade-colored skin.
She had suddenly fallen from desire and excitement into the cold and harsh abyss of reality.
What had she done? What had she done?
She had actually laid with another man in front of her daughter, in her daughter's room, under her daughter's bed!
She had gone mad! She must have gone mad!
She had actually treated herself like a dirty whore from the streets, a loathsome damned woman! She had actually forgotten that she was the Empress of Xuanji, the most respected and most highly regarded woman under the heavens!
How could she behave like other middle-aged women, losing her heart upon seeing a young man's flesh, losing her sense, committing the most shameful and unforgivable act of all!
She was the Empress! Empress!
Meng Fuyao laughed coldly, watching the Empress' indescribable expression. With another self-indulgent laugh, she cracked her whip at the wall!
With a thundering noise, the wall crumbled to the ground.
Outside, the rain was falling gently, and a crowd was standing in the rain.
The people of the Tenth Princess's manor, from the stableman to the lowest-ranked little servant, no one was missing.
They had been forced under the blades of Dahan's guards and Wuji's hidden guards to stand in the rain to await the most exciting and scandalous affair in all of the Five Regions Continent.
When the wall crumbled and the naked pair on the rug was revealed to them, everyone instantly gaped in surprise, letting out gasps of shock, unable to close their mouths, looking like fish out of water.
Everyone present was staring in shock at the adulterous scene before them.
Nobody could accept it.
Moreover, this was the Empress of Xuanji, who had always been arrogant and proud.
The gaping mouths were like holes that sucked her soul, the stares piercing like arrows as the Empress once again felt herself being pierced in a thousand places.
The Empress tilted her head backward, once again letting out an ear-piercing scream, ”Ah—”
Thereafter, she fainted, her body going limp in Epsilon's arms.
The proudest woman would also be the most brittle after her pride was destroyed and her dignity trampled into dust, she had become nothing but a pile of rotting mud.
However, Epsilon had kept his composure throughout everything.
Everything had happened in an instant, from Meng Fuyao striding in to wake the Tenth Princess when the Empress was still in the peak of pleasure, but he still didn't remove himself. Instead, he continued to finish what he had started.
The first time in his life was also his last, he wasn't going to sell himself short.
At the moment when Meng Fuyao destroyed the wall to show their treacherous act, he carried the unconscious Empress and flew up, rolling the sheets on the bed around them as the Tenth Princess fell to the ground.
