CHAPTER 736: CHAPTER 736: AFTER WAKING UP FROM DRUNKENNESS

A pungent, unpleasant smell hit his face as Ye Shikai’s pants were already stained with Su Qingyu’s vomit—he swore, this was his first and definitely the last time he was taking Su Qingyu to a bar.

A pair of pants ruined just like that, Ye Shikai wasn’t heartbroken, but what if next time she threw up on his face...

Almost staggering, Ye Shikai drove back to the manor. As soon as he got out of the car, he had two maids help Su Qingyu down and quickly wiped his dirty pants with a tissue, sighed, and walked into the mansion.

"Lord Netherworld King, welcome home." As soon as he entered, Pena bowed respectfully and glanced at Su Qingyu, "moving forward to support her."

"My Lord, shall I take the Netherworld Empress to her room?" Pena said with a smile, but Ye Shikai shook his head, taking Su Qingyu from the maids’ hands.

"I’ll take her to her room myself; you go prepare a clean set of clothes," Ye Shikai said lightly with a slight smile.

"Really, she’s even more troublesome than Qingqing." Ye Shikai looked at the drunken Su Qingyu, torn between laughter and tears. After all, she was his wife, and she was acting just like Su Ziqing in the bar—Su Qingyu’s hands shook non-stop, and her legs kept kicking around, flinging her high heels off, which the maids hurried to pick up.

"Where’s the alcohol?" Su Qingyu shouted when no one brought her more drinks, and Ye Shikai, now truly helpless, quickly took her back to the room and put her on the bed.

"There’s no more alcohol, drink some water instead." Ye Shikai poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her; as he cared for Su Qingyu, she took a sip and, mischievously, spit all the water out.

"I don’t want water, I want alcohol," Su Qingyu muttered and then turned over, flailing her limbs.

"Be good, my little ancestor." Ye Shikai sighed, infusing a bit of his Inner Strength into her to slightly diminish the alcohol in her system and reduce the reek, but judging from the situation, it looked like there was no chance she’d be taking a bath tonight. Ye Shikai sighed, helped Su Qingyu out of her clothes, tucked her in, and then went to take a bath himself.

The hot water washing over him seemed to carry away all his fatigue, feeling a sense of relief. Spending the day indulging Su Qingyu’s whims felt more exhausting than a major battle, and strangely, Su Qingyu seemed hardly tired at all.

Both had been through a lot recently; it was time they relaxed a bit.

After Ye Shikai took his bath and returned, the scene before him shocked him. Su Qingyu had kicked off all the blankets, revealing much of her fair skin. Ye Shikai bet it was a body sculpted by god himself—perfect. Even though they had been together for so long, Ye Shikai still felt his nose twitch as if he were about to bleed.

"Cough cough, Qingyu really knows how to make a fuss." Ye Shikai patiently recovered her with the blanket, lifted a corner, and climbed in himself. Tonight, with Su Qingyu hungover and Ye Shikai also exhausted, they kept a small distance between them to rest well through the night.

.....................

The next morning, when Ye Shikai opened his eyes, what caught his sight was not the familiar ceiling but a bright "red apple." Rubbing his eyes, he saw clearly—it wasn’t any apple, but Su Qingyu’s pretty face, only her face was redder than if she had makeup on.

"Cough cough, Qingyu, what happened to you." Ye Shikai felt a bit awkward; their faces were almost pressed together, and he dared not move, fearing a collision.

"I... I..." Su Qingyu clutched the quilt tightly in her hands, Ye Shikai felt that she was about to tear the blanket apart, if those small hands were clutching his leg, it would have probably turned bruised by now.

"Uh, what exactly is wrong with you?" Ye Shikai shifted his body, obviously uncomfortable.

"I... last night... did I... behave improperly..." Su Qingyu’s voice turned smaller than a mosquito’s by the end...

"Behave improperly, it wasn’t that bad, you just got drunk." Ye Shikai finally understood, after all this fuss, Su Qingyu had a wild night of drunkenness, and upon sobering up, she felt ashamed for her "reckless" behavior, a first for her in her life. After waking up, seeing those dirty clothes filled with the smell of alcohol and vomit in the restroom, she suddenly realized the "absurd things" she had done the night before.

"And by asking, I mean, was there anything else, like..."

"Like you vomiting on me, then throwing a drunken tantrum in front of the maid... Ah, don’t bite!" Before Ye Shikai could finish, a sudden sharp pain on his shoulder snapped him out of it.

"What are you doing, let go quickly."

Su Qingyu let go off her mouth, glaring at him displeased, Ye Shikai’s shoulder now bore two rows of deep red bite marks, blood seeping out.

"Wasn’t I speaking the truth?" Ye Shikai rubbed the wound, just about to continue, but seeing Su Qingyu’s expression, he quickly shut his mouth, this time it was bitten on the shoulder, next time it would be on the neck.

"We’re not speaking of this matter anymore, otherwise." Su Qingyu fiercely grabbed a fruit knife from the table, held it against Ye Shikai’s mouth, and fiercely said, "I’ll cut your tongue off."

"Cough cough, I won’t speak, okay." Ye Shikai nodded, at this moment, Su Qingyu’s cheeks were as red as blood, utterly embarrassed.

"Qingyu, where would you like to go today, I’ll accompany you." Once Su Qingyu calmed down a little, Ye Shikai hurriedly said.

"Today, let’s go to... Netherworld Palace." Su Qingyu’s words nearly gave Ye Shikai a heart attack, he felt extremely shocked by this decision, the Netherworld Palace, Ye Shikai had kept it as a secret, to prevent Su Qingyu from getting involved, even if it meant being misunderstood, he never mentioned it, but now, Su Qingyu actually suggested going there on her own.

"Qingyu, are you serious?"

"Yes, the headquarters of Netherworld Palace is right here, why not take me there to see." Su Qingyu smirked slyly, firmly saying, "Today, I’ve decided."

"Alright, then I’ll take you there today." Ye Shikai sighed, now that Su Qingyu knew about the Netherworld Palace and the importance of the Netherworld King, continuing to hide it would be deceiving oneself. Since she wanted to know about it, Ye Shikai wouldn’t mind.

The two walked into the living room, and Ye Shikai suddenly stopped Su Qingyu.

"What’s wrong, is there something?" Su Qingyu asked curiously, Ye Shikai acted mysteriously, clapped his hands, and in an instant, dozens of Hidden Guards rushed out, surrounding them in just a moment, and Su Qingyu was taken aback by this scene.
