Qu Feiqing took the initiative to unknot Su Xin's bun today, leaving her hair spread on the bright, yellow bed. She took her time in removing every single pin which hindered her fingers from interlacing with the soft strands. Resembling a placid flow of running waters, she loved the feel of it against her palms.

Afterwards, she took care of herself, untying her updo and undressing in precise movements. She stepped out of her gown, then walked towards Su Xin naked as the day she was born.

Despite the flared up desire, she was sober with this kiss compared to the last time they did it.

Qu Feiqing felt every second of it.

Pummeling her lips towards Su Xin's, she relinquished in the slow dance their mouths were currently engaged to.

In a matter of seconds, the heights of desire became too difficult to pacify. The calm kiss quickly escalated to a torrid one as feral as the first time their mouths touched.

All this fiery interaction but Su Xin's eyes remained wide open. She watched Qu Feiqing ravage her mouth and thought how carnal it was. Their tongues were entangled in a mighty duel, each unrelenting to the invasion of another. Nonetheless, it was clear that the emperor was the dominating figure.

Out of her control, Qu Feiqing couldn't help but be lost in Su Xin's enticing appearance. The longer she looked, the more those tantalizing eyes seared deep in her being. This woman would be her downfall, she thought. How Su Xin could easily undo her was a sure sign of a threatening liability.

She broke the kiss to have a glimpse of the woman underneath her. Her eyelids were half shut but she could very well see the dewy eyes and swollen lips of Su Xin. A picture of a woman who was just thoroughly ravished by her lover.

Everyone has their own gentleness.  

The cold-hearted emperor whose hands killed the lives of many, swept away the strands of hair that obstructed her view of Su Xin's face. Her fingers, elegant and fine, felt like a cool wind that lulled her troubled mind.

Time seemed to have frozen as Qu Feiqing lowered herself towards the serene face of Su Xin and brushed an airy kiss on her forehead. She also paid attention to the teary corners of Su Xin's eyes and kissed her tears away.

If possible, it felt even more sentimental than the fiery kiss they had just shared.

Words couldn't describe how happy Qu Feiqing was now that Su Xin was with her. But at the same time, she was kind of at loss, overwhelmed by this unbearable surge of elation. It had been long since she'd felt this euphoric, that she had even first mistaken it for a dream. She speculated that in no time, she would wake up and find that everything was just fragments of fraud reality.

But it didn't came, Su Xin was really with her-and on her bed.

There wasn't a trick in the eyes here, just a crazy but truly real situation.

Qu Feiqing couldn't think straight, an inevitable repercussion of their arduous activity. She felt restless as the hype of sensations still refuse to leave her body. Everything around her was hazy and indistinct and she felt her body float in an unknown, strange s.p.a.ce of inhibition where only a rising moon was the guide to her consciousness. For sure, that moon was Su Xin.  

On her side was the spent Su Xin, who was trapped in the obvious state of bewilderment. There were strange feelings that reached the deepest abyss of her heart, and confusing her soul.

Fortunately, although she definitely felt over the moon, she still kept her cool. It also helped that Fourteen was there to keep her on her track. Subconsciousness still intact, she finally seized the moment to ask about her task.

"Your Majesty, do you find me beautiful?"

Skin on skin, Su Xin was lying on Qu Feiqing's body. Their bodies faced each other while Qu Feiqing craned her neck in such a way that she could get a better view of Su Xin and to listen to what she has to say attentively. Strands of silky black hair of Su Xin was splayed beautifully on her nakedness.

It couldn't be denied that Su Xin was a beautiful woman, but at this specific moment, Qu Feiqing thought that she looked a hundred times more beautiful. Laying beside her bare, she somewhat looked like a fallen G.o.ddess.
