Chapter 5 - This Empress Doesn't Need to Sleep
Whoosh.
The shower head poured out steaming hot water, and the bathroom filled with a white, misty steam.
Squeak.
Lin Fan turned off the shower, put on a pair of boxer shorts, and walked out of the bathroom with his upper body bare.
Although not much of his own spiritual energy was left, and he couldn't maintain his full Demon Sovereign state, the physique he had honed over hundreds of years in the Demon Realm had been genuinely retained.
With his upper clothing removed, a robust and muscular physique with clearly defined lines was exposed to the air.
Longyue, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, was stunned when she saw the nearly naked Lin Fan, and a blush quietly crept onto her cheeks.
“You, why did you just walk out like that!”
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
Lin Fan looked down at himself, not noticing anything amiss.
Longyue was endlessly ashamed and angry. She pointed at him and condemned him in a delicate voice:
“And you have the nerve to ask what’s wrong!”
“You, you! How lewd! Filthy! You’re simply, simply polluting this Empress’s eyes!”
“Hmm? I think my own body is quite good, you know.”
Lin Fan’s brow furrowed slightly. He gently patted his own abs, a look of confusion on his face.
His physique had nearly reached the point of perfection. If he were to walk out naked just like this, he would probably cause thousands of young girls to scream and married women to go crazy. He really didn’t understand what this Empress was dissatisfied about.
“Not good at all! Hurry up and put all your clothes on properly for this Empress!”
Longyue shouted petulantly, her cheeks red.
“Empress, am I not wearing clothes?”
Lin Fan tugged at his boxer shorts, feigning a look of innocence.
For some reason, the more flustered and angry this Empress became, the more he wanted to tease her.
Longyue gritted her teeth in anger.
“I'm telling you to put on all your clothes properly, your whole body!”
Lin Fan swaggered directly in front of her, hands on his hips, his fine physique on full display.
“Empress, aren’t you overstepping your bounds a bit? This is my home.”
“What I wears in my own home is my freedom, right~”
“You…!”
Longyue was speechless. She could only give a reluctant, cold snort and turn her head away with a blushing face, ignoring him.
“Hmph, do as you please!”
Lin Fan noticed that Longyue’s reaction from the beginning seemed a bit too intense, and the blush on her face had yet to fade. He suddenly thought of something, and his expression showed surprise.
“Empress, you… this couldn’t be the first time you’ve seen a man’s body, could it?”
Longyue: “…!”
Longyue’s beautiful face showed alarm, the blush on her cheeks deepened, and a trace of panic and embarrassment flashed through her eyes.
“S-So what if it is!”
As the Empress of the Supreme Sacred Heavenly Palace, her status was noble. Ordinary men were not even qualified to be near her, let alone see a man's naked body. This was indeed the first time in her life seeing a man's naked body, and at such a close distance...
“In that case, I have been impolite. I didn’t expect our noble Empress to be so innocent and pure.”
Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh and tease her, then put his clothes back on properly.
It wouldn't be good if he made Empress to get a nosebleed from looking.
Longyue’s chest heaved violently with anger, and she shot Lin Fan a petulant glare. But on account of him putting his clothes back on, she ultimately didn’t say anything more.
At least this fellow was finally willing to dress properly…
As Lin Fan was getting dressed, Longyue couldn't help but sneak another glance at that robust physique.
So this is what a man’s body is like, it’s really quite different from a woman’s body…
It looks so hard…
No, no! What am I thinking! That’s the Demon Sovereign!
Slap! Slap!
Longyue gently slapped her own cheeks with both hands, trying hard to keep herself calm and clear-headed.
Watching Longyue suddenly start slapping herself, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel puzzled.
“Empress, what’s wrong with you?”
“N-Nothing…”
Longyue said perfunctorily with a blushing face, forcing herself to appear calm.
Although Lin Fan was perplexed, he didn't press further and pointed a finger towards the bedroom.
“Empress, it’s already very late. You’re still sitting here, don’t you plan to rest?”
“If I sleep in there, where will you sleep?”
“What is the Empress saying? Of course I will also be sleeping in the bedroom.”
Lin Fan said matter-of-factly.
Hearing this, Longyue’s pretty face couldn’t help but show confusion.
“Are there two beds in there?”
“No, there’s only one bed in the bedroom. But the Empress need not worry, my bed is 1.8 meters wide, it’s very big~!”
Lin Fan smiled slightly, giving Longyue a thumbs-up and a reassuring expression.
Longyue: “…”
Longyue was stunned for a moment. After it dawned on her, a blush climbed up her face again. She instantly understood Lin Fan’s meaning and immediately flew into a rage out of shame.
“Demon Sovereign! Don’t even think about it!”
“It is absolutely impossible for me to sleep in the same bed as you!”
“But there’s only one bed in the room. If the Empress doesn’t sleep on the bed, where do you plan to sleep?” Lin Fan asked.
Longyue looked down at the sofa beneath her, her expression becoming firm.
“No matter. This Empress does not need to sleep. To this Empress, sleeping is merely a waste of time.”
“I only need to meditate quietly here to rest and recuperate.”
With that, Longyue closed her eyes and ignored Lin Fan.
Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in his heart.
Just now, she didn’t take a single bite of the fried chicken and hamburgers, and now she doesn’t even plan to sleep. With her current body, can she really endure it?
One must know, she was no longer the Empress with the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Fan brought a spare quilt and pillow out from the bedroom and placed them beside her.
“I will leave the bedding and pillow here. If you feel sleepy, don’t force yourself to endure it.”
After speaking, seeing that Longyue did not respond, Lin Fan turned off the living room light and walked back into the bedroom.
Upon entering the bedroom, he did not go to sleep immediately, but instead sat down in front of the computer in the room.
Before sleeping, he had to figure one thing out first: what point in time was he currently in?
Logically speaking, he had transmigrated to the Immortal Demon Continent for nearly four hundred years. Such a long period of time would have been enough to change an entire era, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say so.
However, he had noticed something strange right after he transmigrated back.
This world was too familiar to him!
So familiar it was as if nothing had changed at all!
Not only that, after more than four hundred years, the house he had bought should have long since disappeared, but the fact was that it still remained here.
All signs indicated that the time that had passed since he left Blue Star was not as long as he had imagined.
With this speculation in his heart, Lin Fan slowly pressed the computer's power button.
The power button lit up, and the dark computer screen lit up once more after a long time.
The familiar computer desktop appeared before his eyes.
In the bottom right corner of the computer desktop, the date was clearly displayed: 2025/6/1.
Seeing this date, Lin Fan’s brows immediately knitted slightly.
He clearly remembered that it was the beginning of 2024 when he transmigrated to the Immortal Demon Continent. Now that he had transmigrated back again, only a little over a year had passed!
No wonder everything was still so familiar.
It seemed the flow of time in the Immortal Demon Continent and on Blue Star were not the same.
In the time they have been on Blue Star, perhaps a very long time has already passed in the entire Immortal Demon Continent…
