Chapter 221 - 219: Did You Do Something to Him?

Chapter 221: Chapter 219: Did You Do Something to Him?

Shen Yue hadn’t expected Huang Ziyue’s movements to be so practiced and gentle.

He even tied her sash in one smooth, fluid motion.

His long, slender fingertips flicked over the silk ribbon at her chest, looping, knotting, and tying it into a bow...

His every move was so noble it defied description.

And yet, within those movements, she could see the cautious, protective love he held for her.

Shen Yue tilted her head back slightly, gazing at his perfect jawline and the taut, masculine line of his Adam’s apple...

And those eyes, so deep you could get lost in them at a single glance...

It was hard to imagine that a man so noble he seemed like a masterpiece sculpted by the gods themselves would be doing something like dressing a woman...

’This feels like a reckless waste of a divine creation,’ she thought, ’but I can’t help but be mesmerized...’

She asked:

"You big ice block, have you ever dressed a woman before?"

The man’s fingers paused, and the light in his eyes dimmed a few degrees.

"Never."

Shen Yue: "Then why are you so good at it?"

Huang Ziyue looked up at her, his eyes filled with an obscure, unreadable emotion.

He looked as if he had something to say but couldn’t bring himself to speak.

Seeing that hesitant look, Shen Yue gazed into his eyes and instantly guessed his thoughts.

"You... you didn’t... practice just for me, did you?"

She was a little surprised.

She knew that for this noble, iceberg-like man to show such an expression, he must be hiding a little secret in his heart.

And that little secret had to be about her.

Sure enough, as if she’d seen right through to the little secret he was hiding, the man grew a bit flustered...

His gaze shifted, and he pursed his lips, changing the subject.

"There. See if it’s comfortable."

Shen Yue looked at him. "What, did I hit the nail on the head? Scared to admit it?"

Hearing this, Huang Ziyue’s expression remained unchanged, still cold.

But a man’s earnestness burst forth in his eyes. As if provoked, he admitted in a firm voice:

"Yes. From the moment I was certain you would be my Female Master, I began to learn."

He informed her, as if issuing a domineering command:

"From now on, I will be the one to dress you. You won’t have to lift a finger."

"I will be responsible for everything about you."

Who could have known how much he had thought, how much he had planned, from the moment he first took Shen Yue into his heart?

He had even silently fantasized at night about the life they would share together.

He was afraid that, being so used to a pampered life, he would fail and be unable to take good care of her...

So he thought of everything an ordinary Beast World couple would do for their Female Master. For example, she liked to eat cooked food, but she had to go through the trouble of cooking it herself...

The first thing he did, therefore, was to learn Fire Control for her sake, studying the steps she took when she cooked.

As intelligent as he was, he had thought it would be easy, that it wouldn’t be a challenge for him.

But every night, while she and the children slept soundly, he would secretly practice manipulating the heat with his spiritual power, only to fail time and again.

He failed countless times.

One time, he nearly set the entire mountain on fire, burned himself, and wasted a pile of ingredients.

But his hard work paid off, and eventually, he mastered it.

He was just waiting for the day he could let her eat the cooked food he made, so she would never have to work so hard again.

The second thing was to observe and learn many bedroom techniques, fearing he wouldn’t be able to satisfy her or fulfill the duties expected of a Beast Husband.

He didn’t want to be outdone by the other men who knew the Seventy-two Techniques.

After all, back on Wilderness Mountain, when they were all competing for her favor and showing off their abilities, they had shamelessly used this as a point of contention.

He was also worried he wouldn’t be able to give Shen Yue the most pleasurable experience.

And the third thing was learning to serve and dress Shen Yue. These were all things every male needed to learn when being chosen by a female.

It was a principle for the males of the Beast World.

But because of his noble status, he had always scorned these things that lower-ranking males needed to learn for courtship.

He had never thought that any female would be able to enter his heart.

Nor was any woman worthy of him going to such lengths.

But it wasn’t until he met Shen Yue that he understood just how important these things were.

So, in a great secret hurry, he learned every single one of them.

All so he could take better care of her.

As Shen Yue listened, she was deeply moved. Her gaze softened bit by bit until it seemed it could melt into water...

A sweet, warm current filled her heart, layer upon layer.

It rose slowly, transforming into sweetness, and finally blossomed into a happy smile on her lips...

She looked at him, her smile dazzling.

"Alright, my noble Great Emperor Master. Then I will be in your care from now on!"

"We have a long future ahead of us. Don’t you dare start complaining that it’s too tiring after a while!"

Huang Ziyue was dazzled by her smile...

’To see her smile with such happiness... it was all worth it.’

He was filled with joy and pride, and he said solemnly:

"I will never."

It had to be said, Huang Ziyue’s love was truly something to be proud of.

So, when the two of them pushed open the door and walked out...

...Shen Yue’s smile was reflected in the eyes of Bai Chaosi, who was standing right in front of them.

That smile was so happy, so sweet...

But in his eyes, it was an agonizing sight, like millions of ants gnawing at his heart...

His cold, reddened eyes, dead-still, were fixed on Shen Yue’s face...

In just one short night, seeing Shen Yue again, he was struck by how her star-like eyes seemed to have grown even more beautiful...

Her entire being seemed to glow with a dazzling light, a faint, divine luster surrounding her...

It made her seem so ethereal, so distant, impossible to grasp...

When Shen Yue looked up, she was surprised to see that Bai Chaosi, in just one night, looked as if he had suffered a heavy blow. He was haggard and had lost a lot of weight...

His already thin, cold frame, now standing in the early morning courtyard, looked even more gaunt, to the point of being fragile...

As the morning light fell upon him, it seemed a gentle breeze could blow him away...

Standing at Bai Chaosi’s side, Xiao Ya watched the two emerge from the room. When her gaze met Shen Yue’s eyes, visible above her veil, the hand hidden in her sleeve tightened...

’Bai Chaosi actually stood guard in this courtyard all night for that woman...’

’How could he torture himself like this!’

But despite her jealousy and pain, seeing the people from inside finally walk out, she could only speak in an aggrieved and heartbroken tone:

"Miss A Yue, you’re finally out... A Xi, what’s wrong with A Xi? I keep calling him, but he won’t respond. It’s like he’s turned into a statue, unable to hear or feel anything... He’s not even blinking..."

She continued, her voice laced with suspicion and blame:

"Did you two do something to him? He didn’t come back all night. I came looking for him this morning only to find him in your courtyard. Why is he in your courtyard? What on earth is going on?"

Shen Yue listened, narrowing her eyes at this somewhat two-faced woman.

’Listening to her, anyone who didn’t know better would really think Xiao Ya and Bai Chaosi had a deep relationship. As if she were his devoted, supportive partner.’

’Speaking up for her Beast Husband, worrying about him, blaming herself...’
