Chapter 158 - 156. Xue Lang First Lesson I

Third person POV

Weisheng cleaned Hong er's body with a warm damp towel and changed their bedding so she could sleep comfortably after their wild night. Weisheng's face was shining brightly under the moonlight as he finally bonded with his beloved.

After he wiped her body, he took a new set clothes and put it on her. He gave her light kisses on her face as reward for her hard work. He looked at the bitemarks and hickeys that he had left on her pale neck. At first he only wanted to give her some light hickeys but his mind became clouded as their night went wilder.

He laid beside her and secured her in his embrace. He thanked the gods in the heaven for creating Hong er, she is the best gift that he could ever asked for. Then he fell into a deep sleep.

Hong er tiredly woke up from her deep sleep. She noticed that she was wearing different clothes then she remembered of what happened in the previous night and blushed. She got off from her bed and fell at her first step. And now she was kneeling on the floor massaging her sore waist. She summoned her sword and used it as a support to go to toilet.

Despite her calm reaction, she was having a conflict in her innocent brain.

Hong er: 'My waist is so sore, does that mean I am getting weaker?! Are my daily practices not enough?! No! I must maintain my body to its best condition. It's time for practice!'

Hong er changed into her training attire and went to the training field that Weisheng built for her. Meiyun followed Hong er with confusion, Hong er even called Ah Tong and Ah Xi out from their hiding place.

Meiyun: "Your Majesty Empress, is something matter?"

Hong er: "Meiyun, I have to tell you something very devastating."

Meiyun: "What?!"

Meiyun gasped and panickly asked Hong er. She was afraid that Weisheng forced his way into her master last night because she was standing there listening to every sound they made. She couldn't just cast a soundproof barrier because she wouldn't know if there is any possibility they got into trouble.

And to make it worse, Qiyi was with her that night. At first he wanted to approach her and talked like how they usual would but then the couple's mating sound were heard. They blushed and didn't dare to look at each other and passed he night in silence (Plus background sound).

Hong er: "I'm getting weaker."

Meiyun: "Eh?"

Hong er: "My body is aching all over and I couldn't let that happen so I need all of you to have a match with me!"

Meiyun sighed in relief and let herself being pulled by Hong er to the middle of training field. The area for training field was no joke, it includes a lake, a forest, and a man-made desert. It was so vast that they didn't have to worry about disturbing others.

Hong er had finally learned how to change the shape of her sword and now is a good time for her to test it out. They warmed up first before they went into the middle of the forest and took each of their positions. The palace guards would act as judges by watching over them from watch tower that located in every corner of the forest.

Four of them were about 5 km away from each other and they have to steal the bell pendant that was tightly tied on their waist no matter what method one uses. The time limit is 2 hours and the one that has the most bell pendants would be the winner. Since the palace guards were not trained as hard as them, they were afraid that the guards wouldn't be able to see them considering how fast they are.

Therefore, Hong er's other shadow guards accompanied beside the guards and cast a soundproof barrier around the forest to not disturb the people in the palace. The moment the beat of drum sounded out, the four of them launched to find their prey.

At 4.30 AM, Huayun woke up and went to Xue Lang's chamber to get him to his magic lesson. The servants had prepared him beforehand and he was ready to go his very first lesson with his mother. He was very excited that he didn't realize he had been smiling the whole time.

Huayun: "Prince Xue, this servant will guide you to the training field."

Xue Lang: "Uhm!"

Xue Lang took Huayun's hand and together they walked to the training field in harmony. But what greets them in the training field was an enormous explosion that almost ruined half of the forest but without any sound because they were on the outside of the barrier.

Xue Lang immediately went behind Huayun for protection, even the servants who followed them also hide Behind Hauyun's back. Despite the fear of being blown away, they were curious who is in their right mind to fight like that in the palace ground.

Then they saw 2 women soar into the sky and fought with four of their limbs in an incredulous speed. They were disappointed that they couldn't see the fight that clearly because they were too high in the sky. Huayun sighed when she saw how their eyes were full of despair.

She summoned her fan and lightly swept it upwards. A huge platform of ice appeared and brought them to the same level as the 2 fighting women. Just when they were about to cheer the women, they realized that one of them was their Empress and the other one that was fighting with her was her own bodyguard. They screeched in fear but Huayun quickly explained to them that this is how they usually practice in Xu Family.

They turned their eyes back to the fight but suddenly a long chain shot out from the forest below and circled around Meiyun's foot. She was thrown to the other side of the forest and before they could react, another two chains shot towards Hong er and caught both of her hand. Hong er was slammed down to the ground and her hands were restrained.

The servants almost cried seeing their empress being chained like that but Hong er's next expression made them shiver from head to toe. Hong er knitted her eyebrow and her golden eyes glow brightly. She gripped the chain and pulled both chains, Ah Xi and Ah Tong were slowly pulled out from the trees around them.

After she got a clear sight of them, Hong er spun the chain in a full circle and now their neck was bounded by the chain. But before Hong er could pull the chain again, they managed to escape from the deadly strangle. Then they took this chance to attack her while Hong er was still hindered by the chains.

A huge explosion of tornado and fire shook the palace ground, the servants were scared out of their wits by how aggressive their fight was. But then out of nowhere, a humongous wave of water ate the whole fire tornado into nothing.

Just as the wave dissipated, a horn sound signaled the match was done. The soundproof barrier was nullified and they counted the bell pendant on each person. Hong er got 3 bell pendants, hers and the other two were Ah Tong and Ah Xi's. Then it remains Meiyun's bell pendant but she hadn't show up at all since she was thrown away to the other side of the forest.

When they're about to search for her, Meiyun emerged from the forest and laughed heartily while wriggle around her bell pendant.

Meiyun: "Hahaha~ Even though Your Majesty Empress won this match, you didn't get mine tho~~"

Hong er: "I will make sure to steal yours first in the next match, hahaha~"

Hong er laughed alongside Meiyun but then Hong er noticed a blood stain on Meiyun's collar.

Hong er: "Why are there blood in your clothes?"

Meiyun: "Hm? Ah~ I accidentally bit my tongue when I hit the ground, hehehe~"

Meiyun shrugged her shoulder and acted like it was nothing to be worried about. Hong er believed her as it was a normal accident.

Hong er: "Ok, be careful in the future."

They walked out the forest and saw the shocked servants and Xue Lang plus the indifferent Huayun.

Hong er: "Aiya~ Xue Lang had come. Mother just did some warm-up so why don't we start the lesson right away?"

Xue Lang: "En."
