Chapter 32: The Beautiful Sect Master’s Summons
Even ignoring the script, they had only known each other for two days. How could she agree to be his lover?
It couldn’t be love at first sight again, could it? Most “love at first sight” situations were simply lust disguised as love!
Including the Yan Zhen in the script! Hmph!
However, he was the one who had confessed, and now she had responded, even initiating a kiss. He couldn’t just say, “I was just kidding.” That would be suicidal.
“Hey, why are you spacing out?”
“I… it feels unreal…”
“Real or not, until we leave the Demon Dragon Mountain Range, I’m your lover. I’ll do anything you want.”
“And after we leave?”
“After we leave, we’re no longer lovers. Please… honor this agreement, okay?”
“O-okay.”
In the script, they had shared several intimate moments, but they had never officially confirmed their relationship. He had been insecure, while she had been burdened by too many concerns. By the time he had become powerful enough to protect her, they had drifted apart due to Cloud Heaven Palace. Now, being called her “lover”… it felt strange.
Yun Xiu, however, was overjoyed. She planned to end this karmic connection after their time in the Demon Dragon Mountain Range.
She would ensure he married Huangfu Wenqing, becoming a member of Cloud Heaven Palace, preventing the future tragedy.
But there were more pressing matters at hand.
“Since we’re lovers now, we need to establish some ground rules. First, no more being seduced by Jiu Youyue.”
“O-okay.”
He wouldn’t be involved with Jiu Youyue until they reached the Water City anyway.
“Second, we can be intimate, but not in front of Jiu Youyue. And we can’t… cross the line.”
“Uh, okay.”
“And lastly… if you… need anything, just tell me. I’ll… I’ll try my best to… satisfy you.”
“?!”
What a suggestive statement… He was embarrassed.
Honestly, she was incredibly alluring to him. Her words sent shivers down his spine, his body reacting instinctively.
“Alright, it’s getting late. Time to sleep.” She stood up. “Let’s go back to the tent. You sleep on my side tonight, and I’ll sleep in the middle.”
…
They returned to the tent, finding Jiu Youyue lying in the center. She said lazily, “I’m sleeping in the middle tonight. You two can sleep wherever you want~”
I knew she would do this! They had been outmaneuvered. They had no choice but to compromise.
Yun Xiu nudged her.
“I don’t want to sleep next to you. Let Chen Zhen sleep in the middle.”
Jiu Youyue pouted, reluctantly moving aside, then pulled Yan Zhen down, wrapping an arm around him.
“Little Zhenzhen is so warm~”
— You still have your cultivation, why are you pretending to be a frail, cold woman?
Yun Xiu thought to herself as she lay down beside him, pulling the blanket over them.
“My legs are warm after the massage, but my hands are still cold.” Jiu Youyue mumbled. “Little Zhenzhen, can you… warm them up for me?”
Her hand reached downwards, but Yun Xiu intercepted it.
She gently grabbed Jiu Youyue’s wrist, her voice laced with displeasure.
“Jiu Youyue, if you don’t want to sleep, you can go outside. Don’t disturb our rest.”
Our rest? Jiu Youyue was startled, sensing a shift in her sister’s attitude.
Had they talked about something while she was away? She should have eavesdropped.
“Let go, Sister! I’m just playing with Little Zhenzhen.”
“Go to sleep. No more playing.”
Yun Xiu released her hand, her own hand still inside Yan Zhen’s shirt, then closed her eyes.
Jiu Youyue withdrew her hand, no longer acting out, obediently cuddling against him, closing her eyes.
— There’s no rush.
…
Sandwiched between them again, he couldn’t sleep.
Although they were both wearing his clothes, not naked, the difference was negligible.
His hands were buried in their soft curves, his mind conjuring images of their naked bodies.
However, he was truly exhausted. Even his “dragon,” despite its eagerness, couldn’t resist the overwhelming tide of drowsiness.
…
The mysterious crystal around his neck emitted a faint glow, and a spatial force pulled him in.
Thump!
He landed on a soft mattress, a familiar fragrance filling his senses. He opened his eyes, finding himself facing his Beautiful Sect Master.
She was wearing a black lace nightgown, its deep V-neckline accentuating her ample bosom, her long silver hair, usually tied up, cascading down her back, spread across the bed like liquid mercury.
This was the outfit she wore during their dual cultivation sessions.
“Master? Am I dreaming?”
She knelt beside him, smiling gently.
“It’s not a dream, Zhen’er. I summoned you.”
He looked around, finding himself on the stone bed that rose from the altar. He blinked, his gaze fixed on her beautiful face.
“Did you need something, Master?”
“Not really.” She caressed his face. “You haven’t visited me in days, Zhen’er. I missed you. Did I disturb your sleep?”
He felt a pang of guilt.
“I’m sorry, Master. It’s my fault. I forgot to pay my respects.”
She sighed inwardly. Her worst fear had come true.
After meeting Yun Xiu, he had been completely captivated, even forgetting about her.
She wasn’t jealous. She was simply worried he would be hurt again by this relationship.
And that included the Demon Realm temptress, Jiu Youyue.
The two women he had met in the Demon Dragon Mountain Range had only brought him heartbreak.
“Are you… busy with something, Zhen’er?”
He answered, half-truthfully, “I rescued two women from the dragons. I’ve been taking care of them these past few days. They’re both Mystic Lord realm experts, and quite young. They must have powerful backgrounds, so I thought… it wouldn’t hurt to make friends with them.”
“Just making friends?” She leaned closer, her face inches from his. “No other intentions?”
“I… I… no.”
“Tell me the truth, Zhen’er. I won’t be angry.”
He felt a surge of guilt.
“I… I’m sorry, Master.”
She smiled faintly.
“There’s no need to apologize. You’re at the age of first love, Zhen’er. It’s normal to develop feelings for other girls. Just… some love… doesn’t always have a happy ending. Be prepared for that.”
“I understand, Master.” He nodded. “I’m not planning anything serious with her. It’s just… a fleeting infatuation. Like… like when I first met you.”
“Heehee, are you saying you were infatuated with me when we first met, Zhen’er?”
“Mmm… because you’re so beautiful, Master. And your aura is so… divine. Like a fairy.”
