It had been a week! An entire week full of torture that almost consumed all of Li Ming's tiny brain cells.
She had spent the past seven days taking care of her business empire, currently known as Ming Business Empire.
The Black Jade Inn was known as the headquarters of the Ming Business Empire, the place from where everything started.
The entire black market, Dongji Village, Xi Qiu City, Minghue Tea House, the most famous garment shop of the Qi continent located in the capital city of Wang Empire, and the Herb Market of Jin Empire, all were under the ownership of the Ming Business Empire.
Having such a huge business empire, there's no doubt that Li Ming had a lot of work piled up for her since she was away for the past five years.
Currently, she was in the kitchen of her magical mansion as she brewed a fresh cup of tea for herself.
She had spent her entire day at the Dongji Village and that left her tired and energyless.
The sweet electrical tingles that erupted within her made a small smile appear on her lips.
Within a second, she was surrounded by muscular arms as a familiar scent of the ocean took over her senses.
She turned around in the arms of her man to face him, her eyes landing on his handsome face.
She let her arms snake over both of his shoulders as a huge smile bloomed on her lips.
All the tiredness evaporated, leaving her body in a relaxed state. Her energy level once again reaching its peak.
"You don't need to do this. It would barely have taken a few hours to cultivate the energy level back to its peak." She softly whispered as she let her right hand trail towards the long black hair of her mate.
"It's the least I can do. I missed you so much." Supreme Immortal whispered back as he pulled her closer to his body.
They barely had any space left between their bodies, not like either of them minded.
Li Ming chuckled softly as she said, "It's been only a few hours since you last saw me. We were together the entire previous night and even in the morning. How can you still miss me?"
"A few hours is enough for me to miss you. Why? Did you not miss me?" Supreme Immortal immediately directed the question at her without missing a single beat.
Li Ming made a small pouty face as she replied, "Unfortunately I was too busy with all the work that I did not get the chance of missing anyone."
Wen Guiying raised his eyebrows as he stared at his little mate. She was in the mood of playing around, and he could easily sense it.
"Shouldn't I make up for my incompetence? Don't worry, I'll keep in mind to miss you from tomorrow onwards." She said in a sweet low voice.
"I think I know some other interesting ways for you to make up to me. Maybe we should try them out."
Supreme Immortal's hot breath fanned her face as the two of them were so close to each other that there was almost next to no space left between the two of them.
Just before their lips could finally meet, Li Ming's attention was pulled towards the sound of a throat clearing.
Her gaze landed on the Immortal clad in long golden and black robes as he stood at the entrance of the kitchen.
His eyes stared directly at hers and Li Ming recognized the fire that was filling them.
She felt her throat drying as she returned her attention to Guiying to put some space between the two of them.
However, as soon as her eyes met with his, she felt the soft plump lips of her mate on her own, and within a second she was drowning in the sea of pleasure and contentment.
The bond that both of them shared, flared to life as Guiying deepened the kiss, making Li Ming gasp out softly giving him enough space to snake his tongue into her warm cave.
A moan tore out of her mouth as she let her mate take control of the kiss. She just enjoyed the sweet moment and the tingles that were sending electric jolts of pleasure within her body.
They kissed for a long time and the Supreme Immortal only pulled away when he realized that his love needed a break.
Her lips had become plump and swollen because of so much kissing and the needy and unsatisfied look in her eyes made a growl escape Heaven Emperor's lips as he took a place behind her.
His hand snaked around her waist, just above Guiying's hands, and he pushed his front flushed against her back.
His lips immediately found their way on her nape as he placed soft feathery kisses there, making the girl hiss as she arched her neck to give him more space.
"It's wrong to leave her unsatisfied like this." The Heaven Emperor told his junior brother as he looked up at him.
Guiying looked no different than Li Ming. His eyes were filled with the fire of need as he gazed at his mate.
"Don't worry. She won't be unsatisfied by the time this will end." Guiying replied as he once again started closing in towards their mate.
However, this time he was stopped by the Heaven Emperor. Both Guiying and Li Ming turned their attention towards him to know exactly what was wrong.
None of the two of them looked angry. Rather, they were looking at him with curious eyes.
"Trust me. I would have loved to take this chance to join the two of you to sharpen my skills under Guiying's guidance, but I think there's someone else who is in more need of your attention for the time being."
His words were directed at the girl and it made a little bit of the haze disappear from her eyes as she looked at him with questioning eyes.
A soft smile appeared on the Heaven Emperor's lips as he answered her unasked question, "Someone is sulking inside his manor for not being able to see you for the past two weeks. I think you have already punished him enough. Should not you end his punishment now?"
