"You're not afraid of being put to death?"

Yan Jing asked coldly.

"My taking liberties with you isn't exactly something you weren't hoping for, is it?"

Zhang Bin's face curved into an evil smile as he released her chin, but he leaned to her ear and murmured, "You've long known my true identity. You know I'm a once-in-a-millennium genius, far beyond what Your Majesty can compare to. So the moment we met, you went all out to seduce me."

"Nonsense."

Yan Jing's pretty face showed a flicker of anger.

"Let me guess why you're doing this?" Zhang Bin pressed his mouth right to her ear, smiling wickedly. "You must have guessed that His Majesty won't pass the Heavenly Tribulation of Ascension Realm Great Perfection, that he'll be turned to dust, annihilated completely. So he has no way of taking you to the Monster Realm. And you yourself are even less confident you can survive the Heavenly Tribulation and ascend to the Monster Realm. Once His Majesty falls and a new emperor takes the throne, you'll very likely be thrown into the Cold Palace. Those days would be miserable. So you're hoping I'll help you escape. And the reward you're offering me—of course, is yourself. Am I right?"

"You're overthinking it."

Yan Jing shot Zhang Bin a vicious glare.

"Beauty, you actually don't need to worry. Because next year's New Demon King will definitely be me. I have a special relationship with the Fox Clan—we're practically relatives. Besides, you're such a stunning woman. I'd never toss you into the Cold Palace. I might even give you your freedom. Of course, if you're willing to be my Noble Consort, I won't object either." Zhang Bin said with a wicked grin.

Joy flashed in Yan Jing's beautiful eyes.

If she couldn't be Empress, being a Noble Consort was still an enormous blessing.

Because she could continue to gain cultivation resources and in the future cultivate to the Celestial Demon Pinnacle, even Great Perfection.

If she put effort into pleasing him, she might even be able to go to the Monster Realm with him.

However, what came out of her mouth was, "You're full of nonsense and even fuller of wild fantasies. All right, you can start painting."

What kind of status did she have, and what kind of Fox Spirit was she?

How could she possibly let anything slip?

If word got out, it would be a catastrophe of heaven-toppling proportions.

But she released her Charm Supernatural Ability to the fullest, putting her beauty completely on display.

She intended to thoroughly bewitch Zhang Bin.

Whether or not Zhang Bin could become the New Demon King next year, he would still be able to help her.

"Beauty, stop testing me. My promise is absolutely good. Even if I don't become the New Demon King, I'll still take you far away from all this." After Zhang Bin finished speaking, he licked her translucent earlobe.

With a soft "ngh," Yan Jing collapsed weakly into Zhang Bin's arms.

She and Zhang Bin made complete, intimate contact.

This was practically naked temptation and seduction.

"Empress, stand steady."

Zhang Bin took the chance to pull her into his arms, a thrilling, excited, pleasurable feeling surging up in his heart as well.

He nearly couldn't bear to let go; this woman really knew how to tempt a man.

"Thank you."

Yan Jing cast Zhang Bin a bewitching, allures-laden glance and steadied herself.

She stepped back a pace.

Then she started sending him looks brimming with affection, her smile as radiant as a blossom.

Because up to this point, she had basically achieved her goal. She had revealed her beautiful form and ensnared Zhang Bin; from now on he would find it hard to forget her and would surely help her.

Besides, Zhang Bin had already made a promise.

A woman living deep inside the palace—even an Empress—did not have an easy life.

Especially with His Majesty about to face his final Heavenly Tribulation.

If she still didn't prepare for her future, she would certainly end up in a wretched situation.

"Once I become the New Demon King, I can date her in broad daylight, no need for any restraints."

Zhang Bin muttered wickedly to himself in his heart.

To be honest, this woman before him, exalted as an Empress, had an enormous allure for him.

He even wanted to devour her right now.

"Aunt really is seducing him. They seem to have reached some kind of agreement?"

Yan Ya thought in startled surprise, then felt a bit ashamed. Compared with her aunt, her own skills of seduction were pitiful. If her aunt were in her place, she would have already bewitched him and already become his woman, right?

Zhang Bin took out all his painting tools.

He prepared to paint the Portrait of Beauties.

He had Empress Yan Jing stand gracefully amid the peach grove.

Then he swiftly began to paint.

Yan Ya stood to the side, watching in a daze as Zhang Bin held a brush in each hand, calmly and confidently painting.

A vast aura emanated from him—that was a special aura beyond the Grandmaster Realm.

A man absorbed in serious work was very attractive.

Right now Zhang Bin was extremely attractive.

He had a fatal pull on Yan Ya.

Even Empress Yan Jing found herself somewhat lost.

Her heart was filled with envy.

Of course she envied Yan Ya, because Yan Ya had the right to love him.

But she herself no longer did.

After all, she was already a withered flower.

Being able to get his help was blessing enough.

As long as Yan Ya held tightly to this Little Tree Demon, getting to the Monster Realm would be easy as turning her hand.

Once she reached the Monster Realm, becoming ageless was no longer just a dream.

This was something Monsters in the Mundane Realm couldn't obtain even after countless years of effort.

What awaited them was only turning into White Bones, then into Earth.

So many monstrously gifted Monsters cultivated all the way to Ascension Realm Great Perfection, only to still die under the Heavenly Tribulation.

But this Little Tree Demon was too much of a genius; he would definitely defy the heavens, definitely ascend to the Monster Realm.

How fortunate Yan Ya was.

"I must also seize him with everything I have, please him, and maybe I can go to the Monster Realm with him as well."

At this moment, Yan Jing let out a cry of longing in her heart.

At last, Zhang Bin finished the painting, and he even wrote a poem on it.

It complemented the painting perfectly.

It made the scroll even more beautiful.

"It's too beautiful."

"Just what Realm has this painting skill reached?"

In this instant, the two top beauties were completely lost in it.

They were both rare talented women, which was exactly why they could all the more appreciate how superb Zhang Bin's painting was.

It was a level they found hard to reach.

Their own painting skills were at most at the Grandmaster Realm.

But as for the Realm beyond Grandmaster, at present they hadn't even touched the threshold.

"Young Master Changwen, gift this painting to me, won't you? His Majesty also needs to see your work; only then will he agree to let you paint Portraits of Beauties for Daji and Yan Ni." Empress Yan Jing looked at Zhang Bin with eyes full of expectation.

"All right, I'll give it to you. I only have a fondness for painting Portraits of Beauties; I don't necessarily need to own them myself. Besides, once I've painted someone once, I can reproduce it perfectly afterward without needing to look at the real person." Zhang Bin said.

"Thank you, Young Master Changwen."

Empress Yan Jing's face lit up with thick delight.

She accepted the painting from Zhang Bin's hands.

She deliberately let her fingers brush his and linger for a moment.

A special, ambiguous current arose, even making Zhang Bin feel quite stirred.

This enchanting, seductive, noble Empress really knew how to tempt a man.

And a woman like this truly could make any man lose himself.

"I'll take you to see His Majesty."

Yan Jing said coquettishly.
