They All Want to Be My Female Lead v7c16

16 Zi Xunyi’s Feelings

Even knowing that the beautiful woman before him was his future wife, Yan Zhen still felt some resistance.

After all, this was only their second meeting, and it was in a dream. They had never even met in reality. Starting things so quickly felt… too fast.

But this was to save his future daughter. Not just him, Zi Xunyi must also be feeling shy.

“…”

Yan Zhen sat on the vine swing, leaning back slightly and spreading his legs a bit so Zi Xunyi could sit comfortably. He held her waist, their bodies close together.

They both sighed softly. Then, Zi Xunyi leaned in and kissed him. After a moment’s hesitation, he responded.

However, Zi Xunyi only pecked his lips twice before moving to his ear, gently nibbling on his earlobe with her teeth.

Yan Zhen shuddered, feeling his weakness completely exploited. Her precision, force, and rhythm were near perfect, so skillful that he couldn’t even think of resisting, only wanting to surrender and enjoy her ministrations.

—She’s so good at this, even better than Cai Lian!

—No, I have to stay in control!

After a while, Zi Xunyi released his ear and said, her voice seductive, “Husband, I’ll impart the Spiritual Union chapter of the Emperor and Empress Yin-Yang Grand Art to you now. Cultivating together will be more efficient.”

As she spoke, verses of the technique appeared in Yan Zhen’s mind, and he began circulating the technique under her guidance.

This was the advantage of dual cultivation techniques.

Normally, techniques of this level were difficult to comprehend, but with dual cultivation techniques, as long as one person mastered it, they could guide their partner, albeit with lower efficiency. After becoming familiar with the technique, they could cultivate together, increasing the efficiency.

The vine swing started to sway.

Their souls intertwined, Yin and Yang merging, creating a mysterious energy that transformed into glowing fireflies, flying into the depths of the dreamscape, scattering light and making Yan Lingji’s translucent form more solid, as if filling it with color.

After one round, Zi Xunyi leaned against Yan Zhen’s shoulder, panting softly, occasionally kissing his neck and leaving marks. Then, her lips moved to his face, neck, and finally, his mouth, kissing him deeply.

When they parted, Zi Xunyi’s eyes were moist as she gazed at Yan Zhen lovingly, her heart filled with sweetness.

“Husband~”

Having not seen him for over a year, the accumulated longing in her heart now overflowed like a broken dam.

She removed her purple dress and Yan Zhen’s clothes, completely surrendering to the moment.

In her previous life, Zi Xunyi had admired Yan Zhen since their time in the Inner Academy. However, due to her status, she never dared to reveal her feelings, even after leaving the Sacred Ground Academy and returning to the Celestial God Clan. She could only suppress her affections.

She had thought they were fated to be apart, never expecting that after graduating from the academy, Yan Zhen would become the Jiā Lán Holy Son and her designated fiancé, leading to their marriage.

How fortunate she was!

The only problem was that, as the “later arrival,” she couldn’t fully capture his heart.

Yan Zhen still held feelings for Yun Xiu, missed the deceased Jiu Youyue, and cared for the unfortunate Yi Xian’er.

She could accept Cai Lian, willingly taking a lower position, and she could also accept women like Ji Ya who secretly admired Yan Zhen. But she also wanted to be the most important person in his heart.

Having been reborn, Zi Xunyi naturally wanted to strive for this, to win his heart and secure a place no one could replace.

So, she confessed directly, for her daughter and for herself.

“…”

Experiencing spiritual union for the first time, Yan Zhen clearly felt his Spiritual Power increase. Knowing that this could not only make him stronger but also heal his future daughter, he became enthusiastic.

After two rounds, they stopped, sitting quietly on the swing, enjoying each other’s presence.

After a year of separation, this reunion, even if only spiritual, made Zi Xunyi completely immersed in the moment, clinging to Yan Zhen and showering him with kisses.

Yan Zhen didn’t resist, one arm around her slender waist, the other gently caressing her back and hair, enjoying the smooth and soft texture.

This was his second wife. Unlike Cai Lian, who was outwardly cold but inwardly passionate, Zi Xunyi was almost completely submissive to him, giving him everything he wanted, satisfying him both physically and emotionally.

The only problem was that their relationship was progressing too quickly, deviating significantly from the script.

At this time, they should only be “dream friends,” occasionally meeting in dreams during their cultivation, sitting beneath the tree in this flower field, chatting, or even sparring, without even exchanging names, like two kindred spirits sharing a few heartfelt words.

Zi Xunyi teaching him the Spiritual Union chapter and dual cultivating with him was supposed to happen after they were engaged.

It just so happened that Yan Zhen’s Spiritual Power cultivation was on the verge of breaking through to the True Realm, and with Zi Xunyi’s help, he successfully advanced.

Learning it now, he didn’t know what impact it would have.

“Rebirth…”

“What is it, husband?”

“Why were you and Ling’er reborn?”

“I don’t know the reason. I just… regained consciousness and found myself reborn, and Ling’er was with me. At first, I thought it was an inner demon, but then I realized we had returned to the past.”

“Actually, I met Yan’er in Water City, besides Cai Lian.”

“Yan’er?” Zi Xunyi looked up abruptly. “Husband, do you mean—”

“Yan’er was also reborn and told me quite a bit about you.”

“Really? Then… what about Sister Cai Lian?”

“She… doesn’t seem to be reborn.”

Saying this, Yan Zhen felt a bit suspicious.

Zi Xunyi and Ling’er were reborn together, so why weren’t Cai Lian and Yan’er reborn together?

Thinking about it, Cai Lian’s attitude towards him did seem like they had known each other for years, not like it was their first meeting.

Could Cai Lian also be reborn, but deliberately hiding it?

Yan Zhen thought it was highly likely but couldn’t understand her reason.

Zi Xunyi, however, immediately understood Sister Cai Lian’s intentions and smiled inwardly, thinking that her husband was so naive, easily fooled by Sister Cai Lian.

If it weren’t for Ling’er’s sudden predicament, Zi Xunyi would have done the same.

After he entered the Inner Academy, she would have orchestrated a “chance encounter,” then pursued him, hinted at her feelings, and acted intimately with him. Seeing him flustered and confused would have been quite amusing~

Unfortunately, she had to give up on that now.

“Let’s not talk about this. We should focus on solving Ling’er’s problem first.” Yan Zhen started swinging again, his movements causing Zi Xunyi to moan softly. “I’ve already asked the Dean to help me apply for the special examination. If all goes well, I’ll enter the Inner Academy within half a month. Then I’ll try to contact… the current you.”
