Tsk, tsk, tsk. It had been a long time since it had witnessed such an uninhibited scene.
And the two of them were truly gorgeous!
The woman was beautiful, the man handsome.
Together, they were a feast for the eyes!
“Slurp…” The formation spirit swallowed a mouthful of saliva, eyes wide as it quietly waited.
At the same time, Yuan Shu looked at Shi Shuchen, who was struggling to suppress his desire. She exhaled softly, cupped his face, and pulled him up from her body.
“Peak Master Shi, the underground palace’s formation spirit is watching us.”
When the secret transmission reached his ears, Yuan Shu was affectionately rubbing her cheek against his, her voice seeming to come directly through his sea of consciousness.
“The formation spirit is connected to the entire formation within the underground palace. We’ll subdue it together in a moment!”
Yuan Shu’s cultivation was not particularly strong, and she was afraid the formation spirit might detect a secret transmission sent from too far away.
Thus, she could only press her face tightly against his, her lips constantly brushing against his fair cheek as she transmitted her words.
Shi Shuchen had originally been completely lost in her soft warmth and fragrance, even feeling as though he might surrender himself to her right then and there.
But when he suddenly heard what she said, his turbulent emotions instantly tightened.
The underground palace’s formation spirit?
He frowned and cautiously released his senses. Sure enough, he detected the presence of a special spiritual entity in one corner of the palace.
“It…”
Shi Shuchen had just begun to speak when Yuan Shu bit his earlobe and interrupted him.
“Shh, Peak Master Shi. Formation spirits have keen senses. Don’t say anything unnecessary.”
“This formation spirit is attracted by the power of dual cultivation. In a moment, I’ll create the illusion that we’re cultivating together. It will definitely make a move!”
“When that happens…”
Yuan Shu nibbled at Shi Shuchen’s earlobe, moving from top to bottom with intimate, uninhibited affection.
As he listened to her instructions, Shi Shuchen couldn’t help making soft sounds, his arms around Yuan Shu tightening constantly.
Create the illusion of dual cultivation?
Had Yuan Shu known about the underground palace’s formation spirit from the very beginning?
Then what she had done to him just now—including holding his head and allowing him to…
Had all of it been an act?
Shi Shuchen’s heart cracked slightly, a sharp pain pricking him like a needle.
Yet his body reacted intensely to Yuan Shu’s teasing.
Even though she was only nibbling his ear at that moment, he still felt his body and soul tremble!
After Yuan Shu finished explaining the plan, Shi Shuchen finally gave a slight nod.
“Fine.”
The instant the words left his mouth, Shi Shuchen suddenly kissed her lips. He pulled Yuan Shu tightly into his arms and rolled with her onto the floor in a corner of the palace.
A broad, thick carpet had been spread out. He gazed down at the flower-like beauty beneath him, then resumed kissing her, his lips moving down along her neck.
Yuan Shu wrapped her arms around his neck. Feeling the force ravaging her body, she couldn’t help letting out a soft moan.
She parted her lips, wanting to ask what Shi Shuchen was doing.
Was he turning a false act into reality?
But with the formation spirit lurking nearby, waiting for an opportunity, if it noticed something was wrong and escaped, all their efforts would be wasted!
Their clothes gradually fell to the ground, and Shi Shuchen’s kisses continued downward.
He caught hold of Yuan Shu’s leg.
Swish!
Shi Shuchen’s long robe fell over the two of them, concealing their lower bodies.
At the same moment, Yuan Shu tilted her head back and kissed Shi Shuchen as he bent down over her.
The power of dual cultivation erupted at that instant, spreading throughout every corner of the palace.
Dense and intense, it formed threads of pale pink spiritual energy.
At last, the formation spirit could no longer restrain itself and made its move.
A rose-red cloud suddenly shot out, opening its enormous mouth and greedily devouring all the power of dual cultivation in the air.
To the formation spirit, that rich power was like piece after piece of soft, fragrant cake—delicious beyond compare.
Just then, the two people who had been holding each other suddenly separated and attacked at the same time.
Zhuohua in Yuan Shu’s hand radiated waves of fiery heat and lunged toward the formation spirit.
The formation spirit had been in the middle of its meal. When it suddenly realized something was wrong, it was startled and hurriedly closed its mouth as it dodged backward.
But Shi Shuchen’s formation disc had already been waiting on the other side. The moment the formation spirit approached, the disc erupted with a powerful suction force.
Caught off guard, the formation spirit was immediately pulled into Shi Shuchen’s formation disc.
“This formation spirit has actually developed intelligence—and a very complete intelligence at that?”
Shi Shuchen was somewhat surprised.
The rose-red cloud discovered that it had been captured. A humanlike expression instantly appeared on its face as it charged wildly around inside Shi Shuchen’s formation disc.
If Shi Shuchen had not hurriedly added two more seals, it might truly have broken free and escaped!
“The formation in this underground palace has existed for several thousand years. It’s not strange for a formation spirit to develop intelligence. What surprises me is your formation disc. It can actually restrain and trap a spiritual entity like this directly!”
Yuan Shu was rather astonished.
Her original plan had been for Shi Shuchen and her to work together to wear down the formation spirit’s power before slowly capturing it.
She had not expected Shi Shuchen to be able to seize it outright, saving them considerable trouble.
“Mm. The formation disc was made from a ten-thousand-year-old ancient jiao tree. It naturally suppresses spiritual entities such as formation spirits.”
Shi Shuchen turned his head and had just finished explaining when he saw Yuan Shu standing in front of him in only a half-length skirt, her tall and alluring figure completely exposed.
His face flushed scarlet, and embarrassment appeared in his eyes.
To make their act convincing, the two of them had done everything except take the final step, successfully deceiving the formation spirit.
Even Shi Shuchen was wearing nothing more than a simple undergarment, leaving his sturdy, tall body fully exposed to the air.
Now that they were properly dealing with the situation, suddenly seeing each other like this was truly…
Awkward.
Yuan Shu turned her head and saw Shi Shuchen’s usually aloof face flushed a brilliant red. She let out a light laugh, then walked a few steps closer and couldn’t resist teasing him.
“Peak Master Shi seemed to be enjoying himself just now. Isn’t it a little late to start feeling shy?”
“Ahem. Miss Yuan, this, this is different.”
“How is it different?”
Yuan Shu took two more steps forward, bent slightly, and leaned into the lowered line of his sight.
When Shi Shuchen looked up, he was met with the alluring sight before him, completely unobstructed. The heat in his face intensified, as though it were burning.
“Miss Yuan, could you, could you put your clothes on first?”
His long lashes trembled. His handsome, fair face was flushed all over, especially the corners of his eyes, which were bright red, as if he were about to be toyed with until he broke.
Yuan Shu laughed lightly twice, then casually took out some clothes from her divine tree space and draped them over herself, blocking his view.
Only then did Shi Shuchen breathe a sigh of relief.
“Peak Master Shi, do you think… I’m unattractive?” Yuan Shu raised her brows when she saw his relieved expression and leaned closer to ask.
There was a hint of displeasure in her voice.
Shi Shuchen’s expression froze. Before he could answer, Yuan Shu continued.
“Peak Master Shi was so eager for me to get dressed. Does that mean you don’t like me? That you find me unpleasant?”
“No, that’s not it!” Shi Shuchen immediately denied it.
Yuan Shu raised her brows and stared at him without speaking.
Her direct gaze made Shi Shuchen’s heart race. He hurriedly began to explain.
“No. Miss Yuan, you’re very beautiful—the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen. I just… I was afraid my self-control wouldn’t be enough.”
“So you’ve seen other women, then…”
“No, I haven’t!”
Before Yuan Shu could even finish, Shi Shuchen interrupted her anxiously.
“I’ve only ever seen Miss Yuan, and I’ve only ever been this close to Miss Yuan.”
“I swear!”
