Chapter 154: Want to Try Something Risqué?
Mount Yu, Cave Mansion.
“Xiang’er! Senior Brother is back~”
Chen Yin kicked open the door to the cave, a cheerful grin on his face. “Did you miss me~? I brought you some new lingerie—”
His voice trailed off, his smile freezing as he saw the occupants of the hall.
Besides Master and Xiang’er, there were seven or eight other people present.
They all stared at him.
Chen Yin maintained his awkward smile and slowly backed out of the hall.
As he closed the door, he seriously considered transmigrating again, just to escape this awkward situation.
This was social suicide.
He had recognized several familiar faces among the group.
Mu Susu of the Heavenly Net Sect, and beside her, presumably, her husband, Luo Daxian, the Sect Master.
The elegant and refined Wan Yunhai, Pavilion Master of the Ten Thousand Fragrance Pavilion.
And the alluring Qingmei Niang, Lord of Ten Thousand Demons.
Inside the hall, everyone looked at each other with strange expressions. Xiang’er’s head was lowered, her face crimson.
Master sighed and called out, exasperated:
“Since you’re already here, get your ass in here.”
Chen Yin reluctantly opened the door and entered with a forced smile.
“Greetings, Seniors. It’s an honor to have you all visit Mount Yu.”
Luo Daxian’s expression was strange, while Mu Susu glared at him angrily.
Wan Yunhai struggled to contain his laughter.
Qingmei Niang looked at him with a knowing smile.
Master glanced at him sideways and said casually, “Look at you, so flustered.”
“Take Xiang’er and leave. We have some matters to discuss. We’ll call you later.”
Chen Yin didn’t dare argue. He nodded obediently and, grabbing Xiang’er, who was practically dying of embarrassment, left the hall.
As they made their way down the mountain, he couldn’t help but ask, “Why is it so lively today? Did Master invite all these senior cultivators?”
“I-I don’t know.”
Xiang’er clung to his hand, her head lowered. “Master returned with Madam Qingmei a few days ago, and then all these senior cultivators started arriving.”
“It seems like they have something important to discuss.”
Chen Yin frowned slightly.
…This was a grand gathering. He couldn’t figure out what was going on.
What could possibly bring so many Grand Clarity Realm experts together?
But seeing that Master wasn’t willing to tell him, he could only drop the subject.
She would probably tell him when he reached the Grand Clarity Realm.
Xiang’er remained silent, her head still lowered.
“Ahem…”
Chen Yin coughed lightly and gently squeezed her hand. “About what happened earlier… it was an accident.”
“Mmm…”
Xiang’er’s eyes were still filled with a mixture of embarrassment and resentment. She wished she could disappear.
“Senior Brother, you’re so mean…”
Chen Yin also felt a little guilty.
He hadn’t expected so many people to be there. Usually, Mount Yu was deserted.
“I’m sorry. How can I make it up to you?”
Xiang’er glanced at him shyly, then quickly looked away.
“I want… beggar’s chicken.”
“Easy.” Chen Yin readily agreed.
Although beggar’s chicken was a bit troublesome to prepare, it wasn’t difficult.
He spent most of the afternoon preparing the ingredients and wrapping the marinated chicken in lotus leaves, then carefully placed it in the oven, fanning the flames with a small hand fan.
Soon, a rich, savory aroma filled the air, making Xiang’er’s eyes light up with anticipation.
“It smells so good!”
“Wait a little longer. It’s not ready yet.”
Chen Yin patiently controlled the heat. When the chicken was finally cooked, he carefully removed it from the oven.
He peeled back the lotus leaves, revealing the golden-brown, glistening chicken.
He tore off a drumstick and handed it to Xiang’er, his voice gentle. “Careful, it’s hot.”
Xiang’er ate with gusto, her lips glistening with grease.
Chen Yin watched her and couldn’t help but reach out and gently wipe her mouth.
“You little glutton, eat properly.”
“But only Senior Brother can see me like this.” Xiang’er grinned, her eyes sparkling.
…Spoiled brat. Chen Yin glared at her playfully, his eyes filled with affection.
He enjoyed cooking for her.
No matter what he made, she would always finish it, savoring every bite.
Watching her eat was a pleasure in itself.
Finally, they finished the entire chicken, leaving behind only a pile of clean bones. They sat side by side by the pond, their stomachs full.
Xiang’er had taken off her shoes, her bare feet dangling in the clear water, her toes playfully creating ripples.
She had always enjoyed playing with water like this.
The cool water on her feet soothed her heart.
Chen Yin, imitating her, dipped his feet into the pond, then quickly withdrew them with a shiver.
“I didn’t realize the water was so cold.”
“Because Senior Brother is a dummy.”
Xiang’er giggled, covering her mouth with her hand.
Chen Yin pouted and playfully trapped her feet between his own, making her yelp and blush.
“What are you doing?!”
“My feet are cold. I need Xiang’er to warm them up.” Chen Yin said seriously.
Xiang’er struggled for a bit, then gave up and pouted.
The water was cold, but her feet were warm.
Like soft, fluffy buns.
Making him want to take a bite.
Soon, Xiang’er’s expression changed. Her cheeks flushed, and her feet twitched and rubbed against his.
“…Senior Brother.”
“Hmm?”
“Do you… like this?” she asked shyly, glancing at him.
Chen Yin thought for a moment, then decided to be honest. “I love it.”
Xiang’er lowered her head and gently pressed her feet against his, her toes tracing the lines of his foot, a soft, cool sensation.
Chen Yin closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling.
It was Xiang’er’s first time doing this, her movements slightly clumsy, her forehead covered in a light sheen of sweat.
But she continued to massage his feet gently with her small feet.
“Do you like it, Senior Brother?” she asked softly.
“I can’t say.”
Chen Yin suddenly turned to her and asked, “Xiang’er, how long do you think it will take Master and the others to finish their discussion?”
“Uh… I-I don’t know…”
“Want to try something a little more… exciting?”
Xiang’er looked at him with a puzzled expression.
But the next moment, Chen Yin had scooped her up into his arms and jumped into the pond.
“Ah!!”
“Wait, Senior Brother, what if Master and the others come back…?”
“Don’t worry.” Chen Yin gently bit her lip.
“…I bet they won’t be done for at least two hours.”
