69 Moving In Together
Long Ying, who had already woken up, didn’t dare to say a word.
—What’s going on? Is the green-haired woman being intimate with Zhenzhen? Should I stop her?
—No, it’s too embarrassing, too terrifying. The green-haired woman is such a nuisance!
—Zhenzhen, don’t lose to the green-haired woman!
Although Long Ying, after more than ten years of growth, possessed some of the domineering aura of a Dragon-Phoenix Divine Beast, she was still inexperienced in these matters. And thinking that Zi Xunyi had seen through her, she was intimidated by Huangfu Wenqing, who was also reborn.
The reason Long Ying hadn’t revealed her true identity was that she wanted to use her loli form to naturally get closer to Yan Zhen. If he found out, he might become wary of her.
Long Ying was nervous and anxious, but Huangfu Wenqing was completely immersed in the pleasure of “teasing” Yan Zhen, meticulously replicating her master’s actions from her memories, as if she were receiving cultivation guidance.
The talented Huangfu Wenqing quickly mastered the techniques, her fingers and palm moving rhythmically, even using her Wind Mystic Power for assistance.
The light and agile Wind Mystic Power, as soft as clouds, gradually clouded Yan Zhen’s mind.
—This feels… just like Yun Xiu’s technique!
Thinking of this, Yan Zhen’s heart pounded, and he lost control.
“Wenqing!”
“Mmm~”
Feeling a sudden warmth on her hand, Huangfu Wenqing stopped and looked down, her eyes shining with curiosity.
—So this is Yan Zhen’s…
She brought her hand closer to her face, observing it carefully, even sniffing it slightly.
It wasn’t as unpleasant as described in the books. The strong scent was intoxicating, like a fine wine.
—I remember Master doing this afterward…
Huangfu Wenqing blinked, then took out her handkerchief and wiped her hand, then cleaned Yan Zhen, her movements gentle and meticulous, like a caring wife.
“Is this alright, Yan Zhen?”
Yan Zhen smiled wryly. “Don’t do this next time. At least not here.”
Huangfu Wenqing blushed and smiled. “Then I’ll wait until we’re alone.”
“Ahem, I-I’m going to meditate now.”
“Okay.”
An hour later, Yan Zhen finished meditating, his Mystic Power mostly restored, and opened his eyes.
Long Ying was awake, and the three girls were eating pastries at the table.
The little Dragon Girl, about to bite into a pastry, heard Yan Zhen get out of bed and turned to him, her face lighting up. “Zhenzhen, are you alright now?”
Yan Zhen walked over and patted Long Ying’s head. “More or less. Thank you for last night. I didn’t know you were so strong.”
Long Ying raised her chin proudly. “Of course! I’m the one and only Dragon-Phoenix Divine Beast. A few Mystic Kings are nothing to be afraid of!”
“Alright, alright, my one and only Dragon-Phoenix Divine Beast. I’ll take you to the dining hall for a feast tomorrow.”
“Really? You promise? No backing out!”
Yan Zhen looked at his fiancée and future wife, feeling the awkwardness in the air.
“So…”
Huangfu Wenqing stood up abruptly. “Since you’ve recovered, let’s go back. We shouldn’t disturb them any longer.”
Zi Xunyi, sensing the implied meaning, narrowed her eyes and said calmly, “Wen Canglan will definitely come looking for trouble again. I suggest you stay here for now, until the Grand Elder returns.”
“No, Yan Zhen will be staying with me. If that Wen dares to come, he won’t leave in one piece!”
“With your six-star Mystic Master cultivation?”
“Of course, it’s not just that.”
Huangfu Wenqing held her hand like a sword, touched her storage ring, and retrieved a small flying sword, about as thick as her finger.
The small sword hovered in the air, emitting powerful Mystic Power fluctuations.
“This is a special Wind Sword Talisman from Cloud Heaven Palace. When activated, its power is comparable to a full-strength attack from a Mystic King.”
Zi Xunyi snorted dismissively, releasing her Mystic King aura. “I am a Mystic King!”
“Even if you were a Mystic Lord, it wouldn’t matter!” Huangfu Wenqing retorted. “You were there last night, yet you let Yan Zhen get injured and even let that Wen get away… Even this glutton is stronger than you!”
Long Ying, who was eating pastries, paused.
—Me?
“Don’t be ridiculous. You weren’t even there. What right do you have to say that?” Zi Xunyi was unmoved. “Even Little Long Ying rushed to help. And you? You didn’t even know what happened, only spouting sarcastic remarks.”
Long Ying swallowed her pastry and frowned, displeased.
—If you want to argue, then argue. Why drag me into this?
Yan Zhen patted the little Dragon Girl’s head, telling her to quietly eat her pastries. The two women turned to him and asked simultaneously, “Yan Zhen, where are you going to stay?”
Yan Zhen was in a dilemma. His fiancée on one side, his future wife on the other. Choosing either would offend the other.
“Maybe I should just cultivate in the Celestial Dome Pagoda?”
Although there were occasional fights in the pagoda, no one dared to cause too much trouble, as the patrolling elders would intervene. Even Wen Canglan wouldn’t dare act recklessly there.
“That’s not an option. Tomorrow is the day the Rising Star List is updated. You defeated Fu Cheng from the White Fang, so you’ll be taking his place. That will attract all sorts of trouble. Your injuries haven’t fully healed yet. It’s best to keep a low profile for now.”
“I’m worried that Wen Canglan might send his society members to harass you. It would be dangerous for you to be alone. Stay here with me.”
“No, Yan Zhen should stay with me.”
“It’s safer here.”
Yan Zhen ran his hand through his hair in frustration.
Long Ying, unable to stand it any longer, interjected, “How about a compromise? Let the green-haired woman move in here too.”
The two women were stunned, then said almost simultaneously, “No way!”
Long Ying rolled her eyes at them. “No this, no that. You’re making things difficult for Zhenzhen!”
The two women looked at Yan Zhen and saw his troubled expression, their hearts softening.
Huangfu Wenqing thought, I have the advantage now. Even Zi Xunyi, the ultimate winner from my past life, can’t do anything.
Zi Xunyi thought, Yan Zhen is destined to be with me. We even have a daughter together. I’ll let this so-called fiancée have her way for now.
“Since Little Long Ying suggested it, let’s compromise,” Zi Xunyi said magnanimously. “There are plenty of rooms in the building.”
Huangfu Wenqing bit her lip, annoyed that her line had been stolen, making her seem petty.
“Fine, as long as Yan Zhen is happy.”
Yan Zhen was relieved and gave Long Ying a grateful look.
Although he wasn’t used to the gluttonous loli becoming so sensible, it did have its advantages. She even spoke up for him at a crucial moment.
However, with his fiancée and future wife living together, he still had a bad feeling.
He hoped the Grand Elder would return soon.
