What bothered her since she first met Su Xin was that even though she was obviously beautiful, she still tried to garner affirmation from others such as Qu Feiqing herself. As she asked the same question this time, Qu Feiqing didn’t feel amused anymore. She felt quite afraid instead. Afraid that if she answered her-she would lose her.
She had this feeling that the girl was just sticking to her all this time for that sole reason. Whether it was Su Xin’s way of feeding her ego or just her childish conquest for praise, Qu Feiqing still found it untasteful.
But still, Qu Feiqing felt that no one could ever replace Su Xin, no one would ever fit to be at her side.
But Qu Feiqing knew that if she really desired Su Xin to stay, she could well do it in just a flick of her hand. They had an agreement willfully signed by the both of them back in the imperial palace of Yu country where she met Su Xin.
She got the upper hand here and so, she could dictate how long she would like Su Xin to stay under her roof.
Nothing would happen, she was assured of it. Yet, Qu Feiqing was still unwilling to utter the words.
“Answer me, am I beautiful?” Su Xin spoke in a raspy tone, getting a little impatient by the emperor’s unresponsiveness. Gone was the soft-spoken Su Xin, replaced was a determined, seductive woman whose eyes glowed with ghastly perseverance.
Qu Feiqing looked at her quietly, appearing stoic and unaffected by Su Xin’s sudden change of tone.
But her stoic expression didn’t stay long. Su Xin began to rub her body in circles causing her knees to tingle. Su Xin’s hot breath mingled with her own, their faces dangerously close but not kissing.
Instead, Su Xin slowly licked Qu Feiqing’s face like a cat, leaving a trail of wet saliva. Surely, she was forcing Qu Feiqing to submit to temptation using her sexual prowess.
Qu Feiqing resolved to looking at the bright eyes staring at her. If she badly wanted to be praised, she would sing her her deserved compliment.
She held Su Xin’s face dearly.
“You are indeed beautiful.” Qu Feiqing said before placing a gentle kiss on Su Xin’s temples.
Now Su Xin was more than satisfied, a big thorn was lifted from her heart and she breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Without another moment of hesitation, she lost herself again in the emperor’s arms and they had another exquisite time together.

Qu Feiqing put on her clothes and decided to deal with the affairs in the imperial court she left earlier. She was noticeably high-spirited on her way to her study; her current frame of mind much clearer than before.
She handled the court memos well. Afterwards, she finally retreated for the day with a satisfied smile on her face, extremely glad of her productivity for today
Meanwhile, Su Xin was gleefully rolling around in the emperor’s bed. Sheets were crumpled and pillows were being scattered as she kicked and tossed, unable to contain the happiness she felt over her triumph.
She called Fourteen and asked him the status of her mission.
Master Fourteen, I have accomplished it, haven’t I?
[Well done host. In the process of finalizing the last part of the bargain with the client.]
The first time Fourteen reached for Su Xin in the realm of souls, he was already sure that he had chosen the right host. There was even an extra credit for Su Xin’s performance.
Su Xin’s eyes twinkled in excitement.
In front of her, the room slowly faded from her vision as if she was waking up from a long slumber. Su Xin closed her eyes tightly while reality was being distorted.
When she sensed that light could no longer be felt, she slowly opened her eyes.
She was not in the emperor’s chamber anymore. Instead, she found herself back in the room where the exchange had first happened. It was still the same eerie room of emptiness to which Fourteen brought her in.
From her back, she heard nimble footsteps coming her way. She already knew who it was, but the moment she turned her body to face the person, she froze completely. It was the beautiful woman in ancient clothes-the real Xue Yao.
It felt strange to see again the person whose appearance was the exact replica of hers. For more than a year, she looked at the same face in the mirror and had become accustomed to it. Seeing it on another person was somehow disturbing to Su Xin.
It’s funny how she felt this way knowing that it wasn’t hers to begin with.
