Holy Son, Run! The Demon Empress Wants You as Her Consort! - Chapter 11:

Chapter 11: Sharing the Same Bed

It was the first time Lin Ze and You Yiran had ever slept in the same bed.

You Yiran lay on her side, showing Lin Ze her back. Lin Ze stared wide-eyed at her from behind. Her narrow shoulders and round hips made for an alluring view—her hips were wider than her shoulders, a sight that stirred countless fantasies.

The faint cool fragrance around him and the lingering memory of what happened in the cave occupied his thoughts endlessly.

You Yiran, feeling the heat of his gaze on her back, was visibly uncomfortable. She pulled the blanket all the way up to her nose, but the scent of Lin Ze still surrounded her.

It felt like she was in his embrace.

After an unknown amount of time passed, You Yiran finally opened her mouth.

“Why aren’t you asleep?”

Lin Ze paused for a moment before replying, “You’re not sleeping either, are you?”

How could he possibly sleep in this situation?

There was a stunning beauty beside him! His blood was pumping, and every part of him was tense!

“Then at least close your eyes. If you keep staring at me, I’ll…”

At that moment, You Yiran abruptly turned around. Their faces were now just inches apart, eyes meeting.

“This is bad! Aunt’s eavesdropping outside the door!”

“What should we do? What do we do?!”

You Yiran’s voice grew anxious, her head spinning. If she and Lin Ze didn’t make some kind of sound tonight, her aunt wouldn’t be convinced.

“Do you know how to…?” Lin Ze blinked.

“Know how to what?” You Yiran pulled the blanket over their heads. Her heart was racing. She could guess what he meant, but still looked at him in confusion.

“You know… moan,” Lin Ze whispered, his breath slightly hurried.

Now their faces were practically touching. The sensation of her cool black veil brushing against his skin made him shiver.

“…”

A flush rose to You Yiran’s neck. She clenched her teeth. “N-No…”

“You do it, then!” she said.

“Huh? I’m a man. Isn’t it weird if I moan?”

“But in the cave… you moaned pretty loud.”

Lin Ze’s face twitched. “That was because you scared me half to death. I was nearly skinned alive—how could I not yell?”

“No more talking!” You Yiran snapped. “So, what now?”

“What else? You better start moaning, or we’ll blow our cover.” Lin Ze pressed.

He had already noticed the silhouette by the window.

You Yiran was burning with shame. She opened her lips, but just couldn’t bring herself to make a sound.

“I’ll help you!”

With that, Lin Ze reached out and grabbed her full, soft mounds.

“Ah! Mmm~”

You Yiran let out a startled cry. But as Lin Ze kneaded them, she couldn’t help but moan softly—a sound as pleasant as a song from the heavens.

“That’s it! Just like that—keep going…”

Her face turned completely red, her breathing erratic. She was finding it hard to think clearly. For a brief moment, her mind went blank. And as for the moaning, it no longer needed any effort—it came from instinct.

[Ping! Intimate contact… Points +1,000]

“Lin Ze, that’s enough… it hurts!”

“I’ll be gentler…”

“Mmm…”

Outside the bedchamber, even Aunt Shangguan Yi turned red from listening. Flustered, she quickly turned away and fled.

Young people these days… so wild.

Once she was gone, Lin Ze instantly pulled his hands back. “Wifey, I only did this for your sake. I swear I wasn’t taking advantage of you!”

“Shut your damn mouth!”

You Yiran gritted her teeth so hard she nearly crushed her molars. But what could she do against this man?

As long as her aunt was still around, even with her Martial Saint cultivation, she was powerless!

Honestly, she was starting to regret choosing Lin Ze as her consort.

At first, she thought he was just a silly, simple guy. Bringing him in as her husband would just be for appearances—he wouldn’t impact her life at all.

But now, she saw the truth—this bastard’s innocence was a complete act!

He was clearly shamelessly taking advantage of her, yet he had the gall to cry victim like a child. Somehow, she had become the villain in this situation.

She didn’t bring home a husband. She brought home a wolf!

Lin Ze snatched the only pillow and curled up pitifully. “Wifey, you’re being so mean… I’m going to sleep.”

“Sleep you @#%!…”

…

Late at night.

Lin Ze had a strange dream.

In the dream, a heavy stone was pressing down on his chest—so heavy he could barely breathe.

A nightmare.

And he couldn’t even wake up from it.

Because there was no pillow, You Yiran had rolled onto Lin Ze’s chest. The aura of a Martial Saint—it really felt like a massive boulder!

Outside, Shangguan Yi quietly pushed open a crack in the door during her nightly patrol and peeked inside, only to find the couple snuggled together.

You Yiran had her head resting on Lin Ze’s chest, hugging him tightly.

It was as sweet a scene as one could imagine.

So sweet it made her heart ache.

Seeing this, Shangguan Yi felt both relieved and a little bitter.

The younger generation had all paired off, while she was still alone in her room, full of loneliness and longing.

Back in her own bedchamber, Shangguan Yi lingered in the bathroom for a while, then returned to bed with an exhausted body and buried herself under the covers, feeling sorry for herself.

While the night in Netherveil Palace seemed calm, deep underground, a man continued digging tirelessly.

Jing Ke’s expression was resolute. “Holy Son, hold on! I’ll break through this tunnel soon and get you away from that demoness!”

…

The next morning.

The first thing You Yiran did after getting up was seek out Shangguan Yi.

“Aunt, I’ve prepared an intercontinental flying sword for you. Please return to Medicine King Valley in Qingfeng Continent.”

“No rush. I’ll leave after your wedding ceremony the day after tomorrow.”

As she spoke, Shangguan Yi took out a brilliant red bridal gown, her fingers gently stroking the fabric as she reminisced.

“Yiran, your mother sewed this for you before she passed. Wear it the day after tomorrow, and become the most beautiful bride.”

“The most beautiful?”

You Yiran touched her own face, then smiled bitterly and shook her head. “My face is no longer presentable.”

“Yiran…” Shangguan Yi pulled her into a hug, gently patting her back, her heart aching.

“Don’t worry. I’ve been researching appearance-restoring pills all these years. As long as I refine the Rejuvenation Pill to divine-grade, I can restore your face!”

“Aunt… I’ve gotten used to it,” You Yiran said softly.

…

Back in the bedroom, Lin Ze was sitting cross-legged, looking like a greedy little miser as he calculated his system points.

“Held hands for nine minutes—that’s 540 seconds. At 10 points per second, I should’ve gotten 5,400 points. System, you damn thief, why’d you only give me 1,000?!”

“And the intimate contact—I grabbed, kneaded, rubbed—for at least a full minute. Why did I only get 1,000 points?”

[You can’t exploit the system forever. Holding hands for nine minutes? You won’t even last that long in bed.]

“Don’t slander me like that!”

Lin Ze calculated and found he had earned 2,310 points. Just a little more to reach 3,000 and he could do a triple draw!

At that moment, Jing Ke popped his head up by the window, his face smug as he bragged, “Holy Son! I worked through the night and finished the tunnel. We can escape tonight!”

He thought, With all my effort, surely the Holy Son would now see me in a new light?

Once we return to the holy land, I—Jing Ke—will be a permanent honored guest!

Lin Ze’s veins popped. He grabbed Jing Ke by the collar and growled, “Are you a pig?! How many times have I told you—I’m not leaving! I’m not leaving!! I’m NOT leaving!!!”

Jing Ke was stunned. But then he thought, The Holy Son must be worried about me taking the risk for him!

That demoness is terrifying. If she found out, I’d be turned to ash in seconds.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Jing Ke said, “Holy Son, I understand your intentions. But don’t worry—I placed a concealment array in the tunnel. That demoness won’t detect a thing!”

“This plan is flawless!”

Lin Ze nearly passed out from rage.

Jing Ke quickly held him up, thinking proudly, Hahaha… The Holy Son was so moved by my loyalty, he fainted!
