*Swallowing the Dragon's Essence*

Huang Shu was in a better mood as he returned to the Palace of Serene Harmony after a long day of ministry report. He had his own Palace, the Palace of Heavenly Dragon. But it was so empty, full of grandeur stuff, but there was no Yunyu there.

Huang Shu paced through the hall to Yunyu's garden with few guards and servants following him behind. The head eunuch announced Emperor's arrival. The servants got busy immediately, especially Meilan, who hurriedly fixed Yunyu's robe and brushed his hair.

Yunyu frowned at Meilan's anxiety, "What's gotten into you?"

"Master Bai, His Majesty is coming. We need to make you look good!"

"I am already looking good even without any of those accessories. Did you know that Emperor Xianliang fell in love with me after I defeated him in a fight?" Yunyu said with a prideful smile. "No need to worry. He loves me. I just know it."
