"My lady, you smell so good. Which sachet do you use?" Qing Chen leaned his nose close to Han Qingyue's neck and suddenly asked.
"Did I wake you up?" Han Qingyue counter-questioned.
"My lady, there's no need to blame yourself," Qing Chen explained. "I sleep more soundly than most, so I don't sleep for very long."
Hearing this, Han Qingyue was relieved, having thought her small movements had woken Qing Chen.
"My lady still hasn't answered my question," Qing Chen continued the previous topic.
"I don't use any sachet," Han Qingyue denied.
"No sachet? Then it must be your natural scent. No wonder it smells so good."
"It tickles, stop sniffing," Han Qingyue felt strange and squirmed.
Qing Chen stopped there and then said, "My lady's natural scent, I'm afraid when the season for butterflies to emerge arrives, they won't even bother collecting nectar."
"It's not as exaggerated as you say." As the words left her mouth, Han Qingyue thought about it carefully. Indeed, when the season came, butterflies would often fly around her and alight on her.
After a few casual exchanges, Han Qingyue turned around to face Qing Chen.
With their eyes meeting at close range, Han Qingyue hesitated, feeling shy under Qing Chen's gaze.
"What's wrong, my lady?" Qing Chen asked, feigning ignorance.
Han Qingyue calmed herself down, forced herself to be composed, then changed the subject and said seriously, "Husband, there's something I want to discuss with you."
"My lady, please speak freely. As long as it concerns my lady, this husband will do his utmost," Qing Chen's attitude was firm.
Hearing this, Han Qingyue's heart was inevitably touched. Han Qingyue genuinely felt Qing Chen's kindness towards her.
"To be honest, husband, I also want to Cultivate." After experiencing the events of these past few days, Han Qingyue's desire to Cultivate grew stronger and more resolute.
Especially after witnessing Qing Chen's battle with Heaven Feather Sect, it made Han Qingyue realize even more clearly that to have a say in this era where the strong are respected, relying solely on background and intellect is not enough; one must be strong oneself!
Han Qingyue had been pampered since childhood, and Martial Emperor doted on her especially, unwilling for Han Qingyue to participate in the conflicts of fighting and killing. Naturally, she had no contact with matters related to Cultivation.
Not to mention Cultivation, Han Qingyue had never even tested her talent and had no idea if she had a Spiritual Root.
Therefore, she wanted Qing Chen to take her to test her Spiritual Root talent.
'Is this to pave the way for her future ascension to the throne as the Heavenly Mandate Empress?'
Qing Chen thought to himself, while verbally agreeing, "No problem."
"Thank you, husband," Han Qingyue beamed with joy.
"However..." Qing Chen hesitated, deliberately keeping her in suspense.
"However what?" Han Qingyue's smile disappeared as she asked in confusion.
"If my lady turns out to be a once-in-a-million-years Cultivation Genius and surpasses me in Cultivation in the future, you wouldn't cruelly abandon this husband, would you?"
Seeing Qing Chen's pitiful and wronged expression, Han Qingyue naturally knew he was faking it and almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
Mainly, she had personally witnessed Qing Chen single-handedly and domineeringly destroy a Sect just last night, and this contrast was simply too great.
Those who didn't know would probably genuinely think Qing Chen was a harmless little pitiful person.
"If husband doesn't believe me, Han Qinyue can swear that if I ever do anything to betray husband in the future, may I be struck by five bolts of lightning..."
"Hey!" Seeing this, Qing Chen gently pressed his finger on Han Qingyue's thin lips and smiled, "My lady having such a heart is enough for this husband; there's no need to make a poisonous oath."
Afterward, Qing Chen and Han Qingyue successively got out of bed.

Qing Chen naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to farm rewards, so he personally helped Han Qingyue change her clothes.
Han Qingyue also helped Qing Chen change his clothes in return, the difference being that she didn't have a System and couldn't get husband-pampering rewards.
"My lady, I suddenly remembered that I unexpectedly obtained a bottle of Beauty Medicinal Pills earlier. I wonder if you're interested?" Qing Chen asked.
'Beauty Medicinal Pill!'
Han Qingyue knew very well how precious this Medicinal Pill was; it was a treasure that the concubines in the palace fought over, willing to spend huge sums of money to obtain, a treasure hard to find even with a thousand gold.
If Han Qingyue remembered correctly, one Grade 1 Beauty Medicinal Pill could preserve youth for a year, and if put up for auction, it would be worth at least tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.
Grade 2 Beauty Medicinal Pills were even rarer, not only testing the Alchemist's Alchemy skill, but the Materials were also scarce and hard to come by. After consumption, it could preserve youth for five years; even the skin of someone eighty or ninety years old would regain vitality.
"If husband has any extra Beauty Medicinal Pills..." Han Qingyue spoke half a sentence, embarrassed to continue.
As a woman, she naturally also hoped to remain youthful forever.
Qing Chen immediately conjured the freshly obtained bottle of Beauty Medicinal Pills from his System backpack, contained within a white jade Medicinal Pill bottle.
He gave them all to Han Qingyue.
Qing Chen's undying and imperishable nature included eternal youth, so he didn't need these Medicinal Pills.
It was better to get a wave of wife-pampering rewards and exchange items for more and stronger Magic Treasures.
Han Qingyue carefully took the bottle of Beauty Medicinal Pills with both hands, opened it, and saw at least thirty or forty pills. She exclaimed in surprise, "So many!"
"Husband, may I ask what Grade these Beauty Medicinal Pills are?" Han Qingyue looked up at Qing Chen.
"Grade 4," Qing Chen replied.
"Grade 4!" Han Qingyue was so startled that her hand trembled, and the Medicinal Pill bottle almost slipped and fell, but fortunately, she gripped it in time.
Han Qingyue roughly calculated in her mind that a single Grade 4 Beauty Medicinal Pill was worth at least one hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones and could preserve youth for a hundred years!
Even the auction houses in the capital might not easily see them.
Then she looked at Qing Chen, who could casually produce dozens of them...
'It turns out that everything last night was still just the tip of his iceberg.'
Han Qingyue dared not think any further about how strong Qing Chen truly was, because it had already exceeded the scope of her imagination.
"Han Qinyue only needs one. The rest..."
Han Qingyue's words were cut off by Qing Chen, "If my lady truly considers me her husband, considers me family, then please accept them all."
Are you kidding? The wife-pampering reward was about to be in hand, how could Qing Chen just watch it slip away?
"This... well, alright then." Since Qing Chen had spoken to this extent, Han Qingyue could only accept.
She first took out one Beauty Medicinal Pill and consumed it, gaining a hundred years of youth preservation.
Then she asked Qing Chen, "Husband, would you like one?"
"No need, these Beauty Medicinal Pills are all for my lady alone," Qing Chen politely declined.
If there was one less, the quality of the wife-pampering reward he would receive next might decrease, and the quantity might decrease.
Han Qingyue didn't insist, thinking that Qing Chen must have already consumed some before this.
Seeing Han Qingyue put the Beauty Medicinal Pills into her spatial ring.
Qing Chen then eagerly opened his System panel, wanting to see what quality of wife-pampering reward he would receive for giving away these fifty Grade 4 Medicinal Pills.
The System panel opened before his eyes.
