Tie Butian struggled with all her might. Her thoughts were in utter disorder and coupled with her embarrassment and shamefulness, she could no longer think straight. She wanted to berate him and she wanted to argue on the basis of reason with him. She even had innumerous reasons in her mind yet she couldn’t come up with anything at that moment, so utterly overcome with panic was she.
She could only push against Chu Yang’s chest with her hands as she panted. “You, you, you… Let go… Let go, let go…”
Chu Yang replied, “I can let you go but what about my poison?”
Though Minister Chu was being roguish with his words, he was secretly very pleased.
My god, I really couldn’t tell that this girl is so well-endowed. She looks as flat as a man but it’s only when you come into physical contact with her that you realize one really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.
Just how did this curvy fellow hide her assets?
Chu Yang looked at her chest intently and discovered that it still looked like a flat washboard. He couldn’t help but be perplexed.
Looks like this thing can thoroughly affect one’s visual senses.
Just what kind of impressive artifact is it?
Chu Yang was extremely bemused. He wanted to ask the Sword Spirit but suddenly recalled that ever since he entered the tunnel, the Sword Spirit had already gone on strike…
Yet this bit of observation through sight and touch also didn’t reveal where the artifact that could affect one’s visual senses could possibly be… Chu Yang was absolutely baffled.
“Let go of me!” Tie Butian struggled fiercely.
“I’m poisoned!” Chu Yang, who knew no shame, didn’t let go of her. “When I hold you like this, it can relieve the symptoms a little…” In his heart, however, he scoffed at his own words, “Relieve? This one hug seems to be making the ‘poison symptoms’ even worse…”
“What nonsensical poison! You bastard!” Tie Butian reached an extreme point of embarrassment. She put in her full strength and got out of his embrace, panting wildly.
Outside, a high voice called out cautiously, “Your Majesty… Your Majesty, is something the matter? Do you need us to…”
With his arms folded, Chu Yang looked at her with an almost indiscernible smile.
Tie Butian stamped her foot and collected her thoughts. She tried her best to maintain a steady voice as she shouted, “No one is allowed to come in. All of you are dismissed!”
She paused and added on in a somewhat flustered and exasperated tone, “All of you are to retreat from the palace! No one is to come in!”
She thought of how if the sight of her being bullied by this scoundrel were to fall into the eyes and ears of other people, this Emperor really wouldn’t be able to face anyone anymore. Getting into a tangle with a man as a man…
Uhh, just the thought of it disgusted Tie Butian.
But the moment she gave the order, she was full of regrets.
Now that everyone’s gone, isn’t it even more convenient for this scoundrel?
However, the people outside responded and all at once, guards, servants and eunuchs disappeared without a trace.
Tie Butian panted heavily. She supported herself against the table, her eyes swiveling wildly as she tried to calm her emotions. At the same time, she racked her brains for a solution.
What should I do? What exactly should I do?
But even after thinking for half a day, she only felt like her emotions were getting messier and messier. There was no progress at all…
Usually, she was someone who could stay calm even in the face of great calamities. Her quick-wittedness and rationality also ranked within the top few in the whole of the Nine Heavens. However, when facing this person whom she was utterly devoted to, she was all out of solutions.
On the other hand, there was no longer any of that urgency from Chu Yang earlier. Instead, he retreated a couple of steps, folding his arms and taking a seat in a calm and composed manner.
“You knew long ago, didn’t you?” Tie Butian questioned him fiercely. Her face was still very red, but with the help of that amazing piece of jade, she managed to somehow not look completely flustered and at a loss.
“Knew of what?” Chu Yang countered with a question of his own, his expression bewildered.
“Stop acting dumb!” Tie Butian stamped her foot hard and shouted in indignation and embarrassment. Now that there wasn’t anyone else in the vicinity, the Emperor turned fierce and intimidating right away.
“Oh, oh, you’re referring to me being poisoned?” Chu Yang came to a realization. “I’ve really been poisoned…”
“I don’t know how to neutralize it!” Tie Butian yelled at him, her face completely red. She continued furiously, “I’m a man! How would I be able to neutralize your poison!”
“Even if you can, I may not necessarily use you.” Chu Yang propped up his leg and said, “I know you’re a man! Yes, a… a man! But I didn’t ask you to do it! You can get Little Tian Tian here and I’ll ask her to do it. Little Tian Tian knows her way and she’s experienced; my heart is at ease asking her to do it.”
Tie Butian was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a hole. She cursed furiously, “Bastard!”
“If you don’t get Little Tian Tian here, then you’ll have to neutralize it!” Chu Yang held up two fingers. “You have two options — First, you turn into a woman and neutralize my poison; Second, you get Little Tian Tian to neutralize my poison! The poison has to be neutralized; there’s no room for negotiation!”
Tie Butian gnashed her teeth as she glowered at the shameless fellow.
Where was she to find that ‘Little Tian Tian’? Tie Butian and Little Tian Tian were one and the same, alright?! This fellow obviously knew the whole truth yet he was still putting on a magnanimous act, claiming to give her two options…
How am I supposed to choose?
Damn it!
Tie Butian was so enraged that her body was shaking. Her lips trembled as she asked, “For… For serious, how… how did you know?”
“I naturally knew of it when I wanted to.” Chu Yang put away his lighthearted demeanor. His expression turned serious and he looked at Tie Butian with bright and shining eyes.
His gaze actually threw Tie Butian into a panic and she lowered her head.
“I’ve always thought it strange! From the moment I first saw you, you’ve always been a male.” Chu Yang went on in a somewhat puzzled tone, “Even now, you still look like a man to me. Yet you are clearly a woman. How did you manage to achieve that?”
Tie Butian bit her lip and said viciously, “It’s none of your business!”
“It’s indeed none of my business in the past but now, it certainly is.” Chu Yang dragged his words. “Brother~~ Tie~~~”
“Shut up!” This ‘Brother Tie’ made Tie Butian extremely embarrassed at once. In the past, because her identity hadn’t been exposed, being addressed as ‘Brother Tie’ felt right to her. However, now, no matter how, it just sounded somewhat strange.
“Tell me the reason,” said Chu Yang seriously.
Tie Butian was silent.
Chu Yang sighed. “That day, I wielded my sword and decided to have a final showdown with the enemies. Once victory was certain, I left. I once thought that I had left without anything holding me down, yet I didn’t know that I had owed so much.”
“The reason why you didn’t want me to know is that you were afraid that it would be a burden to me. But have you thought about how if I were to be kept in the dark for my entire life… Wouldn’t that make me worse than a beast?”
Chu Yang rose to his feet and walked over slowly. His voice was tender as he asked softly, “Back then, in the mountains of the Beyond the Heavens Sect, the Little Tian Tian who was willing to sacrifice her chastity to save me is you, right?”
Tie Butian stood there in a daze. Her vision suddenly became misty and she felt weak all over. When she heard his question, she involuntarily nodded lightly.
“Little Tian Tian… is your pet name?” asked Chu Yang softly.
Tie Butian nodded lightly once more as she bit her lip.
“Let Little Tian Tian show herself.” Chu Yang held her shoulders. Tie Butian felt like his warm breath was going to melt her. He whispered, “Let me see the person who saved my life.”
Tie Butian resisted with all her will. “You’ve already seen her.”
“No, I haven’t,” said Chu Yang calmly. “I’m tired of seeing the Emperor. Right now, I want to see Little Tian Tian!”
Tie Butian only shook her head.
Chu Yang took a deep breath. “Fine, if you insist on not letting me see Little Tian Tian, then I’ll strip you naked and take a look for myself! And see whether this Emperor is still a man when he is stark naked!”
As he spoke, his hand forcefully tore what he was holding outward.
He had ripped a huge tear in Tie Butian’s emperor robes!
“Wait!” Tie Butian panicked at once. She knew that this fellow in front of her was someone who was definitely capable of doing what he said. She clutched her robes in front of her tightly and said in embarrassment, “I’ll tell you.”
“Say it!” Minister Chu was very triumphant, his attitude rather smug. A kind of ‘coercing a commoner girl’ pleasure suddenly arose in his heart.
Tie Butian bit her lip and said, “I’m wearing a piece of jade…”
“Jade?” Chu Yang looked at her in puzzlement.
“Yes, jade.” She took off the Secret Unfathomable Phantom Jade that she had been wearing on the inside from her neck. She held it in her palm but her head hung all the way down.
However, the huge transformation in this instant straight-out shocked Minister Chu into a stupor!
The refined and elegant Emperor before him had transformed into a frail and slender gorgeous beauty after taking off the jade!
Other than the crown that was still on her head, even a blind man wouldn’t say that this person in front of him was a man!
A dense fog of light flashed and that chest which was originally flat suddenly became curvy and that waist which originally looked very ‘manly’ shrank quickly and became so slender that one could hold it in one arm.
Her figure was tall and slim, her voluptuous curves in all the right places. A feminine fragrance wafted over at once.
Minister Chu was dumbfounded.
Her face was clean and her features full and with a vivacious expression. Though she hung her head, those cherry lips, perky nose and long eyelashes and that silhouette of hers was obviously a peerless beauty who easily outmatched everyone else!
This peerless beauty donning the robes of an emperor, her clothes in disarray, stood so shyly and timidly in front of him.
Chu Yang was stunned. He muttered to himself, “She’s a girl alright… And such a pretty girl too… This young master’s first… cough cough…”
“You… Are you done?!” Tie Butian exclaimed in fury and embarrassment. She reached out to snatch the piece of jade, intending to put it on once more.
With Chu Yang’s quick reflexes, the piece of jade was already in his hands and with a whoosh and a flip of his palm, it had already entered the Nine Tribulations Space.
Thinking of turning back into a man? Dream on! This young master hasn’t seen enough yet!
Tie Butian flew into a rage at once. “Give it back!”
Only to see Chu Yang’s expression turn solemn and he very respectfully bowed before her.
Tie Butian was shocked. “What are you doing?” She hastily ducked to the side.
Chu Yang said very properly, “This is my gratitude toward you. I am thankful to Miss for saving my life at a critical moment of need, even to the extent of sacrificing a woman’s precious chastity! I cannot repay this kindness enough; this is first!”
Tie Butian felt a little faint.
First? Does that mean there’s a second and third reason?
Only to hear Chu Yang go on, “Second, is to thank you for giving birth to our son and giving our Chu Clan an heir. And third… It must have been very tough for you to bring the child up alone. I don’t really know how that feels but I must thank you nonetheless.”
Tie Butian blushed and she stamped her foot. “Who needs your gratitude!”
Chu Yang said very properly, “I really don’t know how to repay Miss’ great kindness! Even as I thought about it continuously, I have not been able to come to any good conclusion. As such, I can only offer up my body in order to repay this great kindness which Miss has bestowed upon me!”
