Chapter 25: Yun Xiu Rocks Back and Forth
Yun Xiu woke up late in the morning, her body feeling limp and weak.
She turned to the young man beside her. Yan Zhen was still asleep, his face peaceful and innocent, like a child. But in reality…
Remembering his forceful thrusts from last night, she instinctively squeezed her thighs together.
He had promised to limit their… activities to an hour, but they had gone on for twice as long.
For some reason, her resistance seemed to be weakening. During the second hour, she had been completely at his mercy, unable to resist, her mind blank, embarrassing moans escaping her lips.
Just the memory made her face burn, a tingling sensation between her legs.
If she weren’t a Mystic Lord, she wouldn’t be able to get out of bed today.
“That rascal… he’s insatiable.”
She sat up, the blanket slipping from her breasts, pooling on her lap, her hair disheveled, two strands framing her face, partially concealing her rosy nipples, the subtle exposure incredibly alluring.
Closing her eyes, she circulated her Mystic Power, her strength quickly returning.
She exhaled, opening her eyes, her gaze falling on the… evidence of their activities on the blanket. She blushed again.
“He’s still… energetic… What a beast.”
Remembering the intense heat from last night, she suddenly felt curious, an urge she couldn’t suppress, to see what it looked like.
Just… one peek.
She glanced at him, confirming he wouldn’t be waking up anytime soon, then slowly pulled down the blanket.
She froze, her eyes widening.
A small, intricate dragon mark, faintly glowing, was etched on his… dragon, its aura both alluring and intimidating, making her blood rush, her lower abdomen warming.
She swallowed, her gaze fixed on it, like a child mesmerized by candy, then, as if possessed, she reached out…
“…”
…
He woke up to a strange sensation, finding her sitting on top of him, her hands on his chest, rocking back and forth.
“Yun Xiu?”
He was confused. Was he dreaming? She was actually taking the initiative!
She was mortified, but she didn’t stop, her hand covering his eyes, preventing him from seeing her embarrassed expression.
…
When it was over, she collapsed beside him, her back to him, her body curled up like a hedgehog, clearly wanting to be alone.
He scratched his head, puzzled. He hadn’t done anything. She had been the one who initiated it. Why was she upset?
He tried to comfort her.
“What’s wrong? Did I… wake up too early?”
Her face was as red as an apple.
“…It’s not what you think!”
“Then what is it?”
“I-I… It’s not my fault!”
Hearing the sadness and frustration in her voice, he pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her head.
“Okay, okay, it’s my fault. Don’t be angry.”
…
After a while, she calmed down, her voice soft.
“What’s that… dragon mark?”
Dragon mark? He realized she was referring to the side effect of refining the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire.
Could it be that besides enhancing his… performance, it also… aroused women?
That was… interesting.
Before he could answer, she seemed to have guessed.
“Is it… the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire’s power?”
“Heehee, yes.”
“No wonder it felt familiar. How can the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire have such a lewd power?!”
“I don’t know. It appeared after I refined it.”
“Is it… a problem?”
“Not at all. Isn’t it good?”
“It’s not good at all! Wait, why are you… again?!”
“It’s your fault. Take responsibility~”
“I can’t… I can’t do this anymore…”
“Ahem, the ancients said, ‘Morning exercise is good for your health.’”
“It’s almost noon! Stop… Yan Zhen… mmm~”
…
They didn’t get out of bed until noon, then, after a leisurely lunch on the houseboat, they explored the city, searching for shops selling Water Elemental Hearts.
The Water City’s cuisine was unique, every dish a novelty to them.
He enjoyed most of the dishes, while she, being a Mystic Lord capable of fasting, only sampled a few.
…
Inside the restaurant, many people were discussing the recent Sand Scorpion attacks.
He listened attentively, gathering information.
“I heard the Southern Fortress was attacked again.”
“Wasn’t that a few days ago?”
“No, last night. The Sand Scorpion army attacked again. Commander Ye Mei sent an urgent request for reinforcements. I don’t know what’s happening there now.”
“Really? How do you know?”
“My nephew is a guard there. He was on duty last night and saw the messengers from the Southern Fortress. He let them in. He told me this morning when he returned.”
“This is the third time the Southern Fortress has been attacked, right?”
“The fourth.”
“Why are they targeting the Southern Fortress? I remember Commander Ye Mei is stationed there. She’s the most beautiful woman in our army! I hope she’s alright.”
“I hope so too. My brother-in-law’s cousin’s daughter’s fiancé is also stationed there.”
“The other three fortresses seem to be quiet.”
“No, although there haven’t been any large-scale attacks, there have been reports of Sand Scorpion activity at the other fortresses as well… It seems Her Majesty’s defeat against the Crimson Sand Scorpion King has emboldened them.”
“Sigh, I hope Her Majesty recovers soon.”
“She was fighting a mysterious Mystic Lord in the sky yesterday. It ended in a draw. It seems her injuries haven’t fully healed. In the past, she could easily defeat any Mystic Lord!”
“…”
He stopped listening, lost in thought.
“The Southern Fortress was attacked again?” Yun Xiu sighed. “I wonder how that Serpent Woman is doing.”
“A Nine Star Mystic King isn’t that easy to kill.” He said indifferently. “And Ye Mei knows the Body Splitting Technique. Even you might not be able to kill her if she’s trying to escape.”
She looked at him, her gaze suspicious.
“How do you know that?”
He blinked, realizing he had slipped up, then quickly said, “I saw her use it during the night battle.”
She nodded, not questioning him further.
He sighed with relief, his mind returning to the script.
The reason for the Southern Fortress’s second attack was because that Tier 5 Purple Scorpion King was the Crimson Sand Scorpion King’s offspring.
The Southern Fortress would likely fall within the next two days, and Ye Mei would escape, severely injured.
Then, the other three fortresses would also fall, the Sand Scorpion army, their forces combined, surrounding the Water City.
Then he would be able to sneakily follow the Serpent Queen, attacking the scorpions’ nest, subduing the Great Crimson Skyfire.
He wasn’t worried. He finished his meal leisurely, then took her hand, leaving the restaurant to continue their sightseeing.
…
Meanwhile, within the palace, the Serpent Queen listened to the guard’s report, her expression indifferent.
