Chapter -67 No 'Fooling Around' with Qian Renxue.

Chapter -67.

The princess consort spoke softly, her gentle demeanor and slightly sad expression making everyone want to protect her.

But not everyone was feeling so sympathetic. Qian Renxue suddenly stepped in front of Ye Chen and said to the princess consort, "You're my wife, and if you're okay with it, I'm not!"

The princess consort seemed to catch on and murmured, "Are you trying to help Ye Chen turn me down? Do you like him too? No way, you're both guys!"

"Uh, cough, cough, Shui Binger, don't get the wrong idea. We were just joking around earlier," Ye Chen said, stepping forward with a smile. He wanted to clear up any misunderstandings before they got out of hand.

He hadn't realized that the princess consort was Shui Binger. Once he recognized her, he thought maybe he could convince her to help since they were already familiar with each other.

After all, when it comes to losing one's innocence, which girl would choose that, right?

"Really? I thought..."

Shui Binger blinked her lovely eyes, looking straight at Ye Chen. Her gaze was filled with a mix of affection and a hint of disappointment.

Ye Chen shook his head, wondering if he was imagining things. How could someone as beautiful as her actually like him?

After explaining that he and Qian Renxue didn't want to hurt her, he mentioned wanting to remove the vermilion mark on her wrist and asked her to play the part of a 'woman.'

Shui Binger didn't ask for details and simply agreed, "Okay, but I heard that the vermilion mark can only be removed with that. What should we do?"

"I have a plan, but it might be a bit tough for you for a while," Ye Chen said, scratching his head. Then he turned to Qian Renxue, "Could you step outside for a bit? I'll let you know when we're done."

"No way! Why should I leave? You can take advantage of her, but I, the legitimate wife, can't even peek?" Qian Renxue shot Ye Chen a disdainful look, her lips curling slightly, "What a naughty boy."

"Hey, I'm trying to help you here! Can you be a little nicer?"

"Nope, you're just being lewd."

Ye Chen rolled his eyes at Qian Renxue's teasing. He turned to Shui Binger and asked, "Are you okay with this? You might have to..." He gestured as if to undress.

"I..."

Shui Binger's face turned a lovely shade of red as she glanced at Qian Renxue, who was pretending to be Xue Qinghe, and hesitated.

"Alright, alright, I can turn around; that should work, right? Women can be so complicated."

Waving her hand, Qian Renxue almost forgot she was a woman too. As she turned away, she whispered to Ye Chen, "You better behave; don't go too far."

Hearing this, Ye Chen shrugged, thinking, "You told me to go for it before, so why are you being so shy now? Are you jealous?"

Ignoring the fuming Qian Renxue, Ye Chen stepped closer to Shui Binger, licking his dry lips awkwardly, "What I need you to do is act... um... a bit more alluring, maybe a little provocative, to get me in the mood."

"Like this?"

Shui Binger tugged at her wedding dress sleeve, revealing a small patch of her shoulder, suddenly looking more enticing. Her beautiful, watery eyes paired with her innocent face made it hard to look away.

"Still a bit lacking."

Ye Chen moved in closer, inhaling the sweet scent in the air, trying to adjust his mindset.

The vermilion mark was powerful and not easily removed; just this little bit of temptation wasn't enough to trigger a strong reaction in him.

"Don't mess around; I'm right here."

Qian Renxue felt a flutter in her heart as she heard footsteps behind her. She really wanted to turn around and see what was happening, but she was worried that Shui Binger might get too into it and refuse to cooperate, so she held back.

"How about this?"

A soft voice came from behind, but soon Ye Chen's voice followed, "Not enough, still not enough. Can I get a little closer?"

"Well~ Should I be a bit more daring too?"

"Just a little more, if you can."

"Okay, but can you not look around so much? It's so embarrassing."

"I'm sorry, but I can't help but look!"

What bold words! Qian Renxue felt heat rising in her body. She wanted to turn around and stop them, but reason told her to hold back, and a voice in her heart reassured her: "As long as it doesn't go too far, don't worry about it."

Outside the Crown Prince's palace, a group of maidens approached and gently knocked on the door: "Your Highness, may I bring in today's lunch for you?"

"Just leave it at the door and go back, don't disturb me."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

With hands on their hips and slightly bending, the maidens exchanged glances before placing the plates filled with food on the ground and hurrying away.

Once outside, one maiden covered her mouth and giggled, "It's already the third day. Our Crown Prince finally understands the perks of having women around."

Another maiden chimed in, "But being so diligent and not taking care of himself isn't good either."

After that, the group burst into laughter, glancing back at the palace, all secretly thinking how lucky the Crown Princess was.

Inside the palace, Qian Renxue brought in lunch and glanced at Shui Binger, who had just removed her birthmark and was peacefully sleeping on the big bed, while Ye Chen sat on the floor looking weak and drenched in sweat.

"Eat something, you've worked hard."

"Mm."

Nodding, Ye Chen shifted a bit before picking up a bowl of rice.

Prince Xuexing was really tough; it took him nearly three days to completely remove the birthmark. If it weren't for his strong physique, he might have given in to Shui Binger's charm long ago.

He could only look and hold her, but couldn't truly indulge. Any time things got too heated, Qian Renxue's voice would ring out to stop them. That feeling was unbearable, yet amidst the struggle, there was also a hint of enjoyment.

"Has anyone come looking for me these past few days?"

While eating, Ye Chen asked.

"Zhang Ming has come a few times, saying that a woman wants to teach at the Morning Snow Academy, a Level 75 Soul Sage. I agreed for you."

"Mm, as long as you agreed, that's fine. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to handle it when I go back."

With a helpless smile, after so many busy days, he was finally free. He just wanted to head to the Morning Snow Academy that Qian Renxue had arranged for him, rest for a night, and calm his overexcited emotions.

Located on the west side of Tiandou City, the Morning Snow Academy was just as grand as the Tiandou Royal Academy. Ye Chen dashed out of the royal city and soon arrived at the academy's entrance, just as he was about to enter when he spotted Liu Erlong approaching with a large group of people from a distance.

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but frown, "Why are they here?"
