His cherry-pink eyes looked as if they were filled with soft, warm cherry blossom honey, clear and translucent.
When he looked up, his pinkish pupils were dotted with fragmented light, full of an anxious obedience.
No matter what the future held, at this very moment, Yun Sheng was groveling at her feet!
The corners of Yuan Shu's lips slowly curled up. I told you, if you choose to stay, there will be no pills, no spirit stones. You will be beaten and humiliated by me just like before!
I am willing!
Yun Sheng's face was earnest as he respectfully prostrated himself and kowtowed deeply.
Since he had made his choice, Yun Sheng would not waver.
No matter how Yuan Shu tormented him in the future, he would not leave!
Yuan Shu was somewhat surprised.
She lowered her eyes and looked at him quietly for a moment before saying, Stand up.
Yun Sheng obediently stood up, his head slightly lowered.
Even though he was a year younger than Yuan Shu, he was still a full head taller than her.
Yuan Shu reached out and grabbed his shoulder, slowly feeling her way down his arm. The further she went, the tighter her brows knitted.
Fragile bones and muscles, blocked meridians.
Frowning, she placed her hand on Yun Sheng's chest and probed him with her spiritual energy.
His physique was too poor, containing too many impurities.
Moreover, he had a highly impure four-element spiritual root!
No wonder he was still at the first level of the Qi Condensation stage after two years on Qingyun Peak. Such an aptitude was even more useless than the original owner of her body, who was already considered a little piece of trash.
Yun Sheng seemed to sense that Yuan Shu was examining his aptitude. He clenched his teeth nervously, waiting in anxious apprehension.
When Yuan Shu had originally picked him out from the outer-sect servant disciples, this had not been part of the process.
If she truly found him unworthy, would she drive him away regardless of whether he wanted to stay or not?
Do you know how to give a massage?
Yuan Shu lowered her hand and cast a sidelong glance at him.
Yun Sheng froze for a second, then quickly nodded when he realized what she was asking. A little.
Yuan Shu gave him a surprised look and ordered, Go prepare a tub of bathwater.
Yun Sheng nodded hastily and went off to prepare.
To be given a task by Yuan Shu—did this mean she accepted him?
He wouldn't be chased off Qingyun Peak for the time being?
At this thought, a glimmer of hope ignited in Yun Sheng's heart, and he nimbly went to the woodshed to boil water.
A quarter of an hour later, he invited Yuan Shu into the bathing room.
The prepared bathwater was slightly hot, just as she had instructed, with steam curling gently upward.
Yuan Shu took a packet of medicinal herbs from her Divine Tree space and sprinkled them into the water one by one in a specific order.
As the dried herbs met the hot water, their medicinal properties quickly seeped out, dyeing the clear water in the tub green.
Yuan Shu casually put away the herb packet, opened her arms, and softly ordered, Undress me.
Ah? Yun Sheng was completely stunned.
In the past, although he was responsible for serving Yuan Shu, she had never let him handle intimate tasks like undressing and bathing her.
Now she was actually telling him to undress her?
What? Don't you want to stay? Yuan Shu turned her head. If you are unwilling, go down the mountain right now. I'll still give you the pills and spirit stones.
No, I am willing!
Yun Sheng had only been momentarily dazed. Snapping back to reality, he quickly stepped forward to undress Yuan Shu.
Untying the sash at her waist and removing her outer robe, he could faintly see her slender waist, small enough to be encircled by two hands, beneath her white undergarments.
Yun Sheng lowered his head, obediently hung the outer robe on a nearby rack, and stood to the side.
Yuan Shu had just asked him if he knew how to massage; she probably wanted him to massage her later, right?
Just as he was thinking this, Yuan Shu's cold yet soft and delicate voice suddenly rang out again from in front of him. Continue.
?
Yun Sheng looked up in astonishment.
Continue?
Continue undressing her?
But beneath the undergarments, wouldn't there be nothing left but her bellyband?
How... how could he...
Yuan Shu frowned, her displeased and cold gaze sweeping over Yun Sheng. Do you not understand?
Yes, I do.
Certain that Yuan Shu really meant for him to continue undressing her, he concealed the nervousness in his heart and carefully parted her white undergarment.
Her snow-like skin and beautiful back were exposed to his sight without any obstruction.
Her lustrous, delicate skin and the curves from her shoulders down to her waist were as soft as a pool of newly melted spring water, flowing smoothly with a perfectly balanced slenderness and plumpness.
The straps of her cherry-colored bellyband were tied in a small knot behind her neck, and the remaining red strings hung down gently along the curve of her spine, making her skin look even more porcelain-white and translucent.
Gulp.
Yun Sheng heard the sound of his own swallowing.
Yuan Shu's body was just as beautiful as her face!
No, it was even more beautiful!
Even though the bellyband concealed the most important scenery, he could still imagine just how graceful she was from those breathtakingly dramatic curves.
His thoughts drifting, the base of Yun Sheng's ears grew hot for no reason. He took two steps back and lowered his head.
He had barely stood still for two seconds when Yuan Shu's cold sneer came from ahead.
Are you finished just like that?
Yun Sheng's expression changed slightly. He looked up in shock and met Yuan Shu's displeased look.
Her brows and eyes were filled with the anger of not being served properly.
A marrow-cleansing medicinal bath requires the body to be completely free of clothing. If you can't do the job properly, get out right now.
With that, Yuan Shu waved her hand and threw the room door open.
Yun Sheng's expression shifted.
Looking the way Yuan Shu did right now, if someone accidentally saw her...
Almost instantly, Yun Sheng ran over and shut the door. He walked back, meeting Yuan Shu's icy gaze.
He lowered his head and gritted his teeth. Miss Yuan, pardon my offense!
Saying this, he stepped forward and reached out to untie the knot at the back of her neck.
The moment he reached out, the bellyband drifted lightly into his hand, as weightless as a feather, inexplicably stirring Yun Sheng's heart.
He did not dare to look up, but his peripheral vision uncontrollably caught a glimpse of those exaggerated, pulse-pounding curves.
He clenched his jaw, respectfully crouched down in front of Yuan Shu, and carefully removed her trousers.
...
The room was filled with hot steam, mixed with the faint scent of medicine, drilling into his nose.
But Yun Sheng felt that within it all, the natural body fragrance emanating from Yuan Shu was even more distinct.
Without the covering of clothing, this fragrance dispersed unreservedly, continuously wafting into his nose.
Even though he deliberately tried to maintain his rationality, he could not stop his mind from constantly replaying the scene he had just witnessed.
Gulp, gulp...
His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed mouthful after mouthful of saliva.
His heart was also beating wildly at this moment.
Yuan Shu was already sitting in the bathtub, her pale arms resting on the sides of the tub as she relaxed and stretched her body.
The water swayed gently with her movements, rippling outward in layers.
He heard her sigh of comfort, echoing in his ears like a demonic melody.
Come here and massage me.
Yuan Shu spoke lazily. She closed her eyes, turned over, and leaned against the edge of the tub, presenting her back to him.
Yun Sheng shivered, snapped back to reality, and quickly stepped forward.
He extended his long, fair hands, hesitating for quite a while before gently placing them on her shoulders.
He didn't dare use too much force, afraid of hurting her.
Yuan Shu frowned. Have you not eaten?
Yun Sheng pressed his thin lips together and added a bit more strength to his hands.
Only then was Yuan Shu satisfied, lazily resting her head down again.
Yun Sheng carefully looked up at her. Seeing that she wasn't angry, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Relaxing, his gaze inadvertently fell upon Yuan Shu's back. His eyes trembled slightly as his gaze involuntarily swept toward her underarm...
