Chapter 107: Such a Beautiful Night

On such a splendid night, with a bonfire and fine wine, the perfect world for two. Yet why was the Ninth Prince spending this evening with such a worthless, ugly woman? Did this useless woman possess some kind of sorcery? Throughout the long night, the woman could not find peace. She could not even close her eyes to rest for a moment.

Chapter Eleven: This Is the Divine Phoenix’s Territory

Her mind was tangled with countless suspicions and thoughts, like devils twisting tightly around her, robbing her of tranquility and leaving her mind in chaos. Meanwhile, the two people who troubled her so deeply continued to enjoy their delightful dinner in perfect harmony.

It was only when Baili Tianchang could no longer eat—Nalan Di Jiu was certain she would vomit if she took another bite—that he stopped feeding her.

“Unexpectedly, the night in the Devil’s Forest isn’t as damp or as perilous as I imagined!” Baili Tianchang sighed, savoring the gentle breeze.

“As long as you like it,” Nalan Di Jiu replied. In truth, he had secretly cast a barrier to keep all harm and danger away from Baili Tianchang.

He left only fragrance and breeze, beauty and warmth surrounding them. Sweetness and floral scents, blooming flowers and birdsong—all to bring joy to his little fairy.

Unconsciously, night deepened. Baili Tianchang forced herself to stay alert, wanting to maintain her energy. But with her zero cultivation, relying on Nalan Di Jiu’s pills for seven days and nights to break into the first level of spatial mages, she soon grew drowsy without the aid of medicine.

Unaware, she leaned into Nalan Di Jiu’s embrace and drifted into a blissful slumber.

Nalan Di Jiu, wide awake, held her close, feeling as though he possessed the most precious person in the entire world. The heavens and earth were vast, and as a powerful man, his choices were many. Yet he wished only to choose Baili Tianchang.

He wished to be with her alone, forever unbroken.

After Baili Tianchang fell into deep sleep, Nalan Di Jiu’s brow furrowed slightly. He had long sensed someone spying on their every move. But seeing no hostile intent, he refrained from acting against her.

Though the woman kept her distance and concealed her presence as much as possible, Nalan Di Jiu had detected her the moment she appeared.

Yet he did not understand her purpose for coming here. She must have been very determined to spy on them, not daring to move an inch.

Nalan Di Jiu focused all his attention on Baili Tianchang, ignoring the woman who continued to watch them. As long as she did not provoke his little fairy, he would pretend he noticed nothing.

When Baili Tianchang awoke from her sleep, she found dawn had broken. The night’s rest had been so comfortable, as if she had slept in a bed, that she almost forgot she was in the Devil’s Forest.

When she realized she was in Nalan Di Jiu’s arms, her heart stirred with emotion. She feared that Nalan Di Jiu had not slept at all that night.

How hard he must have worked to ensure she felt no discomfort throughout her slumber.
