65 Yan Ruyu Takes the Initiative
“Cousin, open the door~”
Yan Meng’er symbolically knocked on the door with her little fist. Seeing that Yan Zhen didn’t respond for a long time, she even pressed her little ear against the wooden door, eavesdropping on the movement inside.
Bang bang bang, the sound of profound power exploding was clearly audible, obviously the two people inside had started fighting.
— Very good, Elder Cousin didn’t back out at the last moment!
So the resentment quickly dissipated from her pretty little face, replaced by the wicked smile of a successful schemer, looking like a little fox that stole a chicken.
“Dear Elder Cousin, I took a huge risk angering Cousin for your sake. The rest is up to you, don’t disappoint me~”
Inside the martial arts field, Yan Zhen and Yan Ruyu began sparring, maintaining a certain distance as they ran around the empty field.
Yan Zhen would use Qi Vortex Technique from time to time to pull Yan Ruyu and also use Qigong Finger for long-range attacks. Multitasking, as long as he could pull Yan Ruyu over or hit her three times with his finger force within the set time, one round of training would be completed.
Meanwhile, Yan Ruyu resisted the vortex’s pull while dodging or slashing apart the air pellets shot at her with her sword, trying her best to create difficulties for Yan Zhen.
Soon, time was up. The two withdrew their profound power and stopped, walking to the middle of the field to summarize.
“The effective range of your Qi Vortex Technique is only around ten meters. Accounting for a Mystic Disciple’s resistance, you have to be within five meters to feel like you’ll be forcibly pulled over.”
Yan Ruyu shared her observations from this hour.
Yan Zhen nodded thoughtfully.
“Five meters isn’t the limit of Qi Vortex Technique. It’s because I haven’t mastered it well yet, it can still be improved further; Qigong Finger’s accuracy is there, but the shooting angles aren’t tricky enough, easily blocked by you. At this level it can’t disrupt Lan Ke.”
“Let’s keep training. Your progress is quite obvious, proving the training is very effective.”
“Aren’t you tired, Ruyu?”
Yan Zhen’s sudden concern made Yan Ruyu a bit overwhelmed.
“I’m, I’m fine.”
“Eat a medicinal pill to recover first.”
Saying that, Yan Zhen took out a jade bottle from his storage ring and poured out two round pills, one each.
“Is this… a Minor(small) Primordial Pill?” Yan Ruyu was shocked, then stared at Yan Zhen with a deep gaze, “So you did have more! You were lying to us before about picking them up at a stall, right?”
Yan Zhen chuckled and said offhandedly:
“I don’t have that many. If I didn’t say that, how could I deal with you all asking me for some?”
“Who would covet your petty gains.” Yan Ruyu held the pill and glanced at Yan Zhen, “Then why take it out now?”
“Heh, Ruyu, you’re helping me train, I can’t be stingy.”
“Hmph, at least you have a conscience~”
Yan Ruyu mumbled softly, but the corners of her mouth curved up slightly. She took the pill and started meditating.
After a short break, the cousins resumed sparring.
A faint spiritual fire ignited between Yan Zhen’s brows as he meticulously controlled his profound power output, concentrating the force on pulling the target instead of wildly sucking in air.
The vortex in his hands slowly shrank to the naked eye, but the erupting suction force got stronger. Yan Ruyu was caught off guard and stumbled from the pull. She quickly used her sword to steady herself.
At the same time, Yan Zhen also shot compressed air pellets at her. One grazed her shoulder, one passed by her leg, and the last one was blocked by her sword.
Where she was hit felt a burning pain, like being whipped, but fortunately Qigong Finger wasn’t very lethal, just superficial wounds.
“Ruyu, are you alright?”
Yan Zhen stopped his assault.
Seeing the concern on his face, Yan Ruyu was happy in her heart, but also annoyed at herself for being unimpressive. She bit her lip and said:
“Keep going, one more hit left. I won’t let you shoot me so easily again.”
Yan Zhen felt relieved, a confident smile appearing on his lips:
“That’s not up to you, Ruyu. I’ve already grasped the trick~”
The two trained from morning till dusk, resting twice in between.
“Whoosh!”
An air pellet came flying. Yan Ruyu raised her arm, blocking with her sword horizontally. However, the pellet’s impact exceeded her expectations. The moment it touched the blade, it exploded, knocking her sword out of her hand.
Losing her sword, Yan Ruyu blanked for a second. Then a powerful suction came from ahead, making her whole body fly over uncontrollably.
“Ahh!”
Seeing that she was about to crash into Yan Zhen, that handsome face that made her lose control getting closer and closer, Yan Ruyu panicked in midair. She closed her eyes and flailed her arms wildly.
Yan Zhen originally wanted to catch Yan Ruyu by the waist and steadily receive his cousin, but was hit on the chin by her wildly swinging fists, even making his teeth go numb.
— Ouch!
Yan Zhen fell with a cry. Yan Ruyu also fell down, landing right on top of him, just like Yan Meng’er before.
The difference was, Yan Meng’er did it on purpose, while Yan Ruyu didn’t mean to.
The two cousins, one on top and one on the bottom, stared into each other’s eyes, even their breathing stopped.
This was the first time Yan Zhen observed Yan Ruyu’s face at such close range.
A pointy melon seed face, delicate distinct features, like natural sculpture.
Her looks could be said to be the best among the four girls, she just didn’t like to dress up usually, so she wasn’t as eye-catching as the other three.
From the intense cultivation, her whole body was drenched in fragrant sweat, but there was no body odor. Instead, it released an even richer fragrance, like the best wine being stimulated.
Yan Zhen felt his body had already gotten feverish and reacted, he had to push her away quickly. He made her cry once before for the sake of the plot, he couldn’t do that now.
“…”
This was also the first time Yan Ruyu observed Yan Zhen’s face at such close range.
Fair and slightly youthful, now covered in a sheen of sweat that soaked his bangs, adding a manly air.
His eyes were a distinct black and white, seemingly lit by a bright flame in his pupils. His gaze was as warm as sunshine, making her heart flutter nonstop.
But Yan Ruyu’s focus gradually fell to his lips, because she recalled what her cousin said last night:
“I even stole a kiss from Cousin, hehe, on the lips of course~”
*Gulp*
She swallowed, then lowered her head as if possessed, taking Yan Zhen’s lips in her mouth.
Yan Zhen was about to speak when Yan Ruyu suddenly kissed him. He froze, eyes wide open, clearly shocked.
— A man and woman tumble into a heap then accidentally kiss? So clichéd! I’m, I’m in a Wish-fulfillment Novel world with no female lead, right?
The thought had just surfaced when Yan Zhen felt his cousin start nibbling on his lips, her movements light like a kitten drinking milk, making him feel both numb and itchy, very comfortable.
However, Yan Zhen couldn’t understand:
What kind of situation is this? Could it be not a clichéd fan service event, but his cousin taking the initiative to kiss him? Is that possible?
