Chapter 51: Taking Turns
Sand Scorpions were scattered throughout the Great Marsh Desert, their groups dispersed, the Crimson Sand Scorpion King’s lair located beneath a sand dune in the desert’s northern region.
In her past life, the Serpent Queen had searched through countless ancient texts, finally deducing the Crimson Sand Scorpion King’s true species based on certain characteristics, then locating his lair.
Now, she simply relied on her memories.
“Ahem, Sister Serpent Queen, you’ve been carrying Little Zhenzhen for so long. You must be tired. Let me and Sister take over now.”
“Yes, Serpent Queen, your Mystic Power is clearly depleted. You should recover.”
She didn’t believe their feigned concern, about to ignore them, when Yan Zhen, feeling guilty, also spoke up.
“Cai Lian, take some pills and recover.”
She sighed, releasing him, retrieving some pills from her storage ring, and swallowing them.
“Then Little Zhenzhen can come with me.” Jiu Youyue quickly took his hand, winking at him suggestively. “I’ll give you a good ride~”
Yun Xiu coughed, then said calmly, “I’ll take him. I’m faster. And I can carry another person without slowing down.”
They were no longer underwater. Her Wind Mystic Power gave her a speed advantage.
Jiu Youyue, hands on her hips, said with displeasure, “Sister, I called it first! You’re not going to… steal him from me, are you?”
“I’m… just making a suggestion, based on the current situation.” Yun Xiu’s tone was righteous. “Aren’t we in a hurry? We can’t waste time.”
“I’m a Mystic Sovereign now! I can’t be slower than you, Sister!”
“Mystic Sovereign or not, your movement technique is still garbage.”
“That’s a bit harsh, don’t you think, Sister? Everyone has their weaknesses.”
“Yours is your speed.”
Listening to their argument, he felt like a three-year-old child being fought over by relatives, the only child in a large family, everyone vying for his attention.
He couldn’t exactly say, I’ll fly myself. Although he could fly, his speed and range were limited.
In the script, he hadn’t been able to keep up with the Serpent Queen at all, arriving at the scene long after she had found the Great Crimson Skyfire and begun her evolution.
“Okay, okay, stop arguing!” He felt embarrassed. “I’ll go with Jiu Youyue first, then switch to Yun Xiu after we rest. How about that?”
Since he had spoken, Yun Xiu couldn’t object.
“Sounds good to me.” Jiu Youyue hadn’t intended to monopolize him anyway. “Then let’s go!”
Her Mystic Power surged, forming an azure crescent moon, like a small boat with pointed ends, hovering in the air.
She carried him onto the moon, then, with a surge of power, they shot forward, cutting through the air.
She didn’t need the Serpent Queen’s guidance. She knew where the Crimson Sand Scorpion King’s lair was located.
The other two women followed.
…
On the crescent moon boat, she held him from behind, his back against her chest, her legs wrapped around his waist.
Her skirt, sliding down her smooth, fair thighs, bunched around her hips, revealing the curve of her legs and half of her… moon.
His expression was strange. Isn’t this backwards? I should be the one holding her like this!
And this position… it was dangerous. He felt enveloped by her softness, like a prey caught in a spider’s web, slowly sinking.
He tried to escape her embrace, but she was skilled in sealing techniques. He couldn’t break free.
“Don’t move, Little Zhenzhen. I’m just preventing you from falling.”
“Come on, I’m a Mystic Scholar! I’m not that useless!”
“Better safe than sorry~”
“…”
She chuckled, her arm tightening around his neck as she leaned back against the crescent moon, her legs bending, her stocking-clad feet moving closer together, under his watchful gaze.
He gasped, his mind conjuring the image of a certain dessert: ice cream sandwiched between cheese sticks.
“—Beautiful, aren’t they?” Her voice was suggestive, her lips close to his ear, her breath warm against his skin. “Or do you prefer… Sister’s?”
“They’re both… beautiful.”
“Don’t give me that non-answer. Choose one.”
“I don’t know.”
“Then… how about this?” Her hands moved to his chest. “Which one is better?”
“I said I don’t know.”
“Then… this?”
She nibbled his earlobe, but he frowned, his patience wearing thin.
“Jiu Youyue!”
His tone was sharp.
She knew she had gone too far.
He was already struggling to control himself, his frustration evident, and she was teasing him. Of course he would be angry.
She quickly released his ear, her voice soothing.
“Okay, okay, I’ll stop. Just… be a good boy.”
He mumbled in agreement.
She smiled, kissing his cheek, then held him close, enjoying the moment.
“Jiu Youyue.”
He suddenly called her name.
“What is it?”
“Your legs are… even more beautiful.”
She was startled, then a wave of warmth spread through her heart. She kissed him again, a long, lingering kiss.
…
The crescent moon boat glided smoothly through the air, the scorching sun blocked by their Mystic Power.
From noon to dusk, the sky painted red by the setting sun.
Then from night to dawn, the first rays of sunlight appearing on the horizon.
He slept through the night. After all, with his lower cultivation, he needed more rest.
When he woke up, they decided to land in a stone forest, taking a break, adjusting their conditions.
…
When they set off again, Jiu Youyue reluctantly handed him over to Yun Xiu.
She carried them both on her sword, her arms wrapped around him from behind.
After two days of “self-healing,” she had emerged from her shell of shame, but being alone with him again, remembering his… attentions, made her heart race.
“How are you feeling, Yan Zhen?” she asked with concern. “Did Jiu Youyue… do anything to you?”
He shook his head.
“I’m fine. She was just… playing around.”
“That’s good. If you’re feeling uncomfortable anywhere, just tell me. I’ll… help you.”
— You don’t have to wait five days.
“I can… control myself… for now.” He scratched his cheek, embarrassed. “Just… don’t press your… chest against me.”
She blushed, her hand covering her breasts, moving slightly away.
“I didn’t do it on purpose.”
After all, the sword was small, barely big enough for the two of them. And her breasts were… ample. It was unavoidable.
He also felt helpless. He felt like his desires were growing stronger, more easily aroused. It had been a minor issue before, but after these past few days of indulgence, he was like a powder keg.
If he lost control in his current state, the consequences could be severe.
As expected, deviating from the script always led to unexpected problems.
