Li Ming watched as the snow slowly started covering her boots little by little.

It was around nine-thirty and the dark chilled night filled with silence was making her feel sleepy.

Her hands were freezing even though she had increased her body temperature to keep herself warm as the snow kept falling.

She still needed to find out exactly why the Snow Fields kept covered in snow throughout the year without any break.

She rubbed her hands together to help them warm up a little. Suddenly, a pair of strong arms snaked around her waist and hugged her tightly from behind.

What shocked her was the identity of the person who was hugging her. It would be normal if it was Zhang Yong, Ruoshan, When Guiying, or for a moment, even Hei Long.

However, Li Ming was amazed to find the Heaven Emperor back hugging her tightly as he placed his chin on her shoulder.

"My Lord...?"

She was not sure how to react, therefore, her words came out more like a question. She turned her face a little to look at the Immortal but almost forgot to breathe as she realized exactly how close their faces were.

"I saw you standing here in the cold. Unfortunately, I don't have a cloak with me. So, I found another way to keep you warm." The Heaven Emperor replied in a serious tone as he kept looking at their dark surroundings.

A smile broke out on Li Ming's lips as she looked at the side profile of her mate.

In the past month, she had come to know the Heaven Emperor a little bit more than what she heard in the rumors.

What shocked her the most was that he was a very shy and modest when it came to the matter of intimacy.

Except for the kiss that she gave two weeks ago, they barely had any physical contact between them.

She wanted to give him space and let him develop their bond at his own pace. However, to make sure that it won't increase too much distance between them, she made sure to gave him a few quick hugs here or there.

That's why suddenly being back hugged by the Heaven Emperor and him being so intimate with her left her a little surprised. Not like she was complaining.

"That's really a great excuse. But let me tell you this, you don't need to make excuses to hug your own mate. Am I right, Lilac Girl?"

The sweet voice disturbed them suddenly, making both Li Ming and Heaven Emperor turn around.

"Hei Long..."

The two Immortals nodded at each other lightly, however, Li Ming was standing there looking at the Second Demon Prince in confusion.

She asked Zhang Yong to send her message to Ruoshan, then why it was Hei Long who came there to meet her?

She was standing in front of the Heaven Emperor. Though they were no longer hugging but one of his hands was resting on the small of her back.

"You..."

"You didn't answer my question. We don't need excuses to stay close to our own mate, right?" Hei Long repeated his question as he cut her off before she could even speak two words.

And finally, his words registered in her mind. Her eyes grew huge as the realization dawned on her.

Her eyes kept looking at the Second Demon Prince who was standing a little further away in front of her.

His dark obsidian eyes were staring right at her without blinking.

Li Ming felt her throat drying as she tried to speak, not even knowing what she wanted to say at that point.

"Y...y-you...k-know...?"

She finally managed to ask even though she already knew the answer.

She barely got the time to blink and there he was, standing right in front of her. His warm breath fanning her cheeks as he gazed into her eyes.

It was like the entire world stopped functioning at that moment as the two of them kept staring into each other's eyes.

Li Ming opened her mouth a few times to speak but the words were not ready to leave her mouth. It was like they got stuck in her throat and refused to come out.

Li Ming thought that the gap between their faces was decreasing with each passing second but her mind was over lowing with too many things to pay attention to one thing.

It wasn't until a warm pair of lips engulfed her cold ones in their warmth, that she realized exactly what had happened.

Unexpectedly, Hei Long's lips moved against hers slowly and lovingly. One of his hands grabbed her from her waist and the other one found its way into her long hair.

Li Ming watched the closed eyes of Hei Long as his hand grabbed the back of her nape. The warmth of those lips that were playing with hers, made her close her eyes too.

She felt the moment, their bond started overflowing with pleasure. Her legs were starting to grow weak as the Second Demon Prince continued to play with her lips.

Li Ming felt Hei Long stepping even closer to her and since there was barely any space between them, she instantly moved backward.

However, the Second Demon Prince took another step closer to her, and once again she found her legs moving backward.

Her body hit something...no! someone, as she moved back for the third time.

She was about to lose her balance when suddenly a pair of arms came around her waist to support her.

The fragrance that belonged to none other than the Heaven Emperor filled her already fuzzy senses as her back hit with his chest.

She probably imagined it but she felt like for a moment, Hei Long was smiling as she ended up plastered against the Heaven Emperor.

Though she got no time to pay attention to her suspicion as the lips that were slowly and softly giving her pleasure till now, became a little fierce as Hei Long nipped on her lips, making a gasp finally leave her mouth.

Li Ming found one of her hands grabbing the collar of the black robe of the Second Demon Prince. Her fingers grazing against his bare chest beneath the robe.

Meanwhile, her other hand made its way towards the person who was standing behind her.

Her hands met with the smooth silky hair that was falling around his shoulder. His warm bare neck that came in contact with her hand made the Immortal let out a shaky breath.

She was completely sandwiched between the two of her mates as they pleasured her. Her senses were overflowing as two of her bonds filled with warmth and joy.

It was probably after an eternity when Hei Long finally pulled back a little to let her breathe.

It was complete darkness around them but the shadows failed to hide the blushing cheeks of Li Ming and her state which looked satisfied after feeling the closeness of not one but two of her mates.

"I heard that she starts to glow when her soul is satisfied. Will you help me?" Hei Long asked as he looked directly at the Heaven Emperor.

Li Ming had no idea what was the reply of the Immortal Ruler but the very next second, she was picked up by Hei Ling in his strong arms.

The daze that was covering her mind immediately flew away as her hands went to lock around Hei Long's neck on their own.

She looked at the Second Demon Prince with her huge eyes, not knowing what was happening or more like what he was planning to do.

"Have you let him inside Xiao Tiantang yet? Or maybe your mansion?" Hei Long asked her as he pointed at the Heaven Emperor with his eyes.

Li Ming looked at her other mate who was standing beside them. His eyes were trained on her and Li Ming could see that his soul was making him crave to be closer to her.

She returned her eyes back to the Second Demon Prince as she slowly shook her head.

She had so many questions that she wanted to ask from Hei Long but at the same time, she didn't want to ruin such a beautiful moment.

Therefore, she decided to stay silent for the time being, promising herself to bombard the Second Demon Prince with her questions soon.

"Alright! Let's take him there then!"

With these words of Hei Long, Li Ming found herself passing through the void. The very next second they were standing exactly in her master bedroom of the magical mansion.

Hei Long moved closer to the bed and placed her right in the middle of the huge bed.

She felt her robes leaving her body which made a gasp leave her lips. Thankfully, her robes only changed into a warm pajama set, and not left her naked there.

Well, she would have killed the Second Demon Prince right then and there if he dared to pull such a trick on her, mate or not!

But exactly what he was planning to do to her?
