Chapter 92 - The Empress Doesn't Know How to Face Him

The next morning.

Half-asleep and half-awake, Long Yue drowsily shifted her body, adjusting her sleeping position to press more comfortably against the 'hugging pillow'.

Last night, she had had an incredible, beautiful dream. Just as she was despairing over her inability to return to the Immortal-Demon Continent, the Demon Sovereign had suddenly confessed his deep feelings for her, giving her a reason and the motivation to stay in this world.

But that should be impossible. How could the Demon Sovereign possibly confess to her, the Empress…

Thinking of this, and feeling the warm 'hugging pillow' pressed against her, Long Yue's eyes flew open, all traces of sleepiness gone.

Wait!

She was no longer in the Immortal Palace. Where would a hugging pillow come from?

Long Yue slowly lifted her head and was greeted by the sight of Lin Fan's closed eyes and peaceful sleeping face. At that moment, she was pressed against his chest.

The so-called warm hugging pillow was his chest…

Eh!?

Why was she sleeping in the Demon Sovereign's arms? Had she accidentally crossed the line again, or did he take the opportunity to do something to her last night?

Long Yue was confused and at a loss. Her now-awake mind gradually began to recall everything that had happened last night.

When she had a cold and was sick, feeling deep despair over not being able to return, the Demon Sovereign had suddenly kissed her and confessed to her.

And, if she remembered correctly, it seemed she had agreed…!

After that, she had drunk the medicine the Demon Sovereign fed her, and soon a wave of drowsiness had washed over her, and she had closed her eyes and fallen asleep…

None of it was a dream!

In other words, she… was now considered the Demon Sovereign's woman?!

Understanding what had happened, Long Yue's pretty face gradually grew red and hot, and she was completely at a loss.

Taking a secret peek at the sleeping Lin Fan and confirming he was still asleep, she quietly slipped out of his arms and tiptoed to the bathroom.

“Long Yue, oh Long Yue, you must have been crazy last night, or the fever made you stupid! How could you agree to become the Demon Sovereign's woman…!”

Long Yue stood in front of the mirror, patting her red-apple-like cheeks with both hands, trying hard to calm herself down.

But no matter what she did, her pounding heart just wouldn't calm down.

For her, the Empress of the Immortal Realm, to agree to become the Demon Sovereign's woman... it was simply too absurd…

From now on, how was she supposed to face the Demon Sovereign…

As the Empress, or as the Demon Sovereign's woman…?

In the end, how are a couple supposed to interact and what are they supposed to do? She had no experience...

“Empress, are you done in there?”

Just then, Lin Fan's voice sounded from outside the bathroom.

Long Yue snapped back to her senses and realized she seemed to have been in the bathroom for a long time. She quickly replied in a fluster:

“J-Just a minute…!”

With that, she turned on the tap, scooped up some water, and splashed it on her face, trying to cool her burning cheeks and hide her blush.

Taking a deep breath in front of the mirror and composing herself, she opened the bathroom door.

The moment the door opened, the first thing she saw was Lin Fan's tall figure standing right before her.

The moment she thought about how she had slept so comfortably in his arms all night, her cheeks, which had just barely returned to normal, once again flushed crimson, and her heart pounded nervously.

Damn it! I can't maintain my composure at all!

“Why is your face still so red? Is your cold any better?”

Seeing Long Yue's strange expression, Lin Fan couldn't help but worriedly place the back of his hand on her forehead.

“I-I'm fine…”

The intimate contact between his hand and her forehead made Long Yue's cheeks blush even more. She flusteredly pulled his hand away and walked quickly past him with her head down.

Such abnormal behavior made Lin Fan feel both puzzled and concerned.

What's wrong with the Empress? Could she still have a fever?

During breakfast, Long Yue kept her head down the entire time, not saying a word, silently sipping her soy milk spoonful by spoonful.

“Didn't you used to like these crispy youtiao? I bought a lot this morning, you should eat more.”

Lin Fan picked up a youtiao, broke it into small pieces, and put them into the soy milk in her bowl.

Long Yue replied softly, blushing slightly:

“Thank you…”

As soon as she said this, Lin Fan couldn't help but look at her curiously.

In the past, whenever he added food to her bowl, she would always just happily eat it. She was never as polite as she was today.

“This Empress is full!”

Noticing Lin Fan's gaze, Long Yue quickly finished the soy milk and youtiao in her bowl in one go and left the table as if she were fleeing.

Looking at the large pot of leftover soy milk and the pile of youtiao, and then at Long Yue who was now sitting at the computer desk, Lin Fan felt even more worried.

Usually, she would drink a whole pot of soy milk. Today, she only had four bowls. Something was very wrong!

“Empress…”

Lin Fan walked to Long Yue's side. Just as he was about to ask her something, she quickly put on her headphones.

“Um… This Empress is about to start streaming. We can talk about it later!”

With that, she began to greet her computer screen on her own:

“Hi, good morning, all of you…”

“Empress, your computer isn't even on yet…”

Lin Fan pointed at the completely dark computer screen, his face full of worry.

Who starts a stream before even turning on the computer...

Did the fever last night make her delirious?

Long Yue: “…”

Long Yue was awkwardly silent. Then, as fast as lightning, she pressed the computer's power button, moved the mouse, and quickly clicked open a series of streaming software on her desktop.

“Empress, your cold isn't completely better yet. I already requested a day off for you last night. Why don't you rest for one more day today?”

Lin Fan advised, still a bit worried.

“It's fine. This Empress is almost better.”

“I've already taken many days off recently. If I take another day off, it would be a bit unfair to the viewers who have been waiting for This Empress.”

Long Yue gave a sheepish smile and waved her hand to show that she was fine, then turned her head to focus intently on the computer screen.

“Alright, but don't force yourself.”

Seeing this, Lin Fan felt it wasn't right to disturb her any further. He mixed a cup of cold remedy and placed it on her desk.

“I mixed some medicine for you. Drink it in a bit while it's still warm.”

Although he still had things he wanted to ask her, since she was about to start streaming, he had no choice but to drop it for now and wait until she was finished.

Seeing Lin Fan walk away out of the corner of her eye, Long Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She focused on her stream, planning to use it to temporarily forget the trouble of how to face the Demon Sovereign.

What she had just said was partly to evade Lin Fan's questions, but at the same time, it was also what she truly felt.

These past few days, she had been busy searching for a way to return, going back and forth over it, and had taken several consecutive days off. Many of her fans had expressed their dissatisfaction and complaints, so it was indeed time to get back to streaming.

Sitting in front of the computer screen again, her state of mind was now completely different from before.

Before, she had streamed just to temporarily earn some money in this world and maintain a basic livelihood. She had always planned to leave sooner or later, so she had never thought about taking streaming all that seriously.

But now that she had a reason and the intention to stay here, she planned to stream much more seriously from now on.

After all, from now on, this was her job in this world…
