The white inner garment had no special patterns, but Shen Qi possessed an excellent aura and a tall, sturdy figure. Even the most ordinary inner wear looked as though it was tailored perfectly for him.
Yuan Shu looked him up and down, a half-smile playing on her lips, but she remained silent.
Shen Qi's cheeks flushed under her gaze. He felt shy, but when he saw the light shining in Yuan Shu's eyes, his heart trembled fiercely.
Junior Sister Yuan didn't dislike him doing this!
Since that was the case...
Shen Qi gritted his teeth and took off his inner garment entirely.
A dark ribbon loosely tied his black hair as Shen Qi stood bare-chested.
The lines of his shoulder bones were sharp and smooth. His muscles were firm but not bulky, revealing the well-proportioned strength born from years of cultivation and body tempering.
His fair skin glowed with the luster of cold jade, his waist tapering down to clearly defined abdominal muscles.
His physique wasn't overly exaggerated, but it was absolutely perfect!
Yuan Shu's eyes lit up.
Meeting Shen Qi's expectant gaze, she still didn't speak. She merely reached out to slowly trace the rim of the wine cup she had just emptied.
Shen Qi's expression changed slightly. He looked down at the trousers around his waist, his eyelashes fluttering.
A moment later, he pressed his thin lips together, bent down, and took off his trousers.
Under the cold white light of the luminescent stone, Shen Qi's tall and straight figure was slender and graceful, his jade-like skin smooth and tender.
His entire body emanated a faint, soft glow in the light.
Yuan Shu's gaze leisurely swept over him from top to bottom.
Shen Qi's face was flushed red, but since things had come to this, he no longer acted coy. He stood there openly, letting Yuan Shu look her fill.
After a while, Yuan Shu was satisfied and waved him over.
Shen Qi's eyes lit up. He took a few steps forward and dropped to one knee in front of Yuan Shu.
"Junior Sister Yuan?"
Yuan Shu looked down at his unreserved, impressive assets.
Her eyes curved into a smile as she reached out to gently stroke his face. "Shen Qi, have you really thought this through?"
"Yes, Junior Sister Yuan—no, Shushu, I beg you..."
Half-kneeling, Shen Qi looked up at Yuan Shu in the chair, his expression humble and his tone pleading.
He couldn't forget Yuan Shu, nor did he want to!
Seeing Yuan Shu getting close to Shu Linyuan, he was filled with jealous resentment, wishing he could rush up and fight Shu Linyuan.
But what hurt him even more was Yuan Shu's cold attitude towards him.
These past few days, this emotion had been tormenting his heart, making it impossible for him to ignore it no matter what.
Therefore, as soon as he finished sorting out the things Ji Yunzhao had left behind, he immediately came to Yuan Shu's courtyard.
No matter what, he had to let Yuan Shu know his true feelings!
Yuan Shu smiled. The corners of her beautiful phoenix eyes lifted slightly, making her smile look like an enchanting fairy.
She leaned in close and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, you look... very beautiful like this. I like it a lot!"
Shen Qi's eyes widened slightly.
Caring about nothing else at this moment, he reached out, wrapped his arms around Yuan Shu's waist, and pulled her directly into his embrace.
Casting a Cleansing Spell, he couldn't wait another second and captured Yuan Shu's lips in a kiss.
This kiss, which he had been dreaming of for days and which had kept him awake at night several times, finally truly belonged to him.
Shen Qi carried Yuan Shu and spun toward the bed in the inner room, reluctant to part their lips even for a moment.
Yuan Shu's eyes flickered. She stretched out her fair, lotus-root-like arms to wrap around Shen Qi's neck, cooperating as he deepened the kiss.
When he couldn't help but kiss her cheeks, Yuan Shu reached out to stroke the chest and abdominal muscles she had long set her sights on.
Her soft, delicate voice drifted close to Shen Qi.
"Eldest Senior Brother, once you get into my bed, it will be hard to leave. Have you thought this through?"
"Shushu, I have no regrets!"
Falling along with his words were Shen Qi's increasingly passionate kisses.
...
Under the dim yellow light, Yun Sheng held the Comprehensive Guide to Medicinal Herbs, carefully comparing it with the herbs on the table.
These were what Yuan Shu had instructed him to identify carefully.
However, faint, unusual sounds drifted into his ears at that moment, causing Yun Sheng's entire body to stiffen.
It was Shen Qi!
Yun Sheng looked up at Yuan Shu's room in disbelief, his jaw clenching tightly.
Shen Qi, the disciplined and courteous Eldest Senior Brother of Qingyun Peak, was actually bullying Miss Yuan!
Yun Sheng stood up and took two steps toward the door, but suddenly stopped.
If Yuan Shu were unwilling, she would naturally resist and cry out.
But right now, apart from the ambiguous sounds, there were no signs of resistance from inside the room.
In other words, Yuan Shu was willing.
Or perhaps, Shen Qi had used some method to change Yuan Shu's attitude.
And then...
Yun Sheng's knuckles turned slightly white as he gripped the book.
Thinking of Yuan Shu's lips, thinking of her smooth and fair body, his breathing grew ragged.
Even though he had served Yuan Shu many times, it was never him truly serving her himself.
And now, there was another man accompanying her.
Yun Sheng clenched his fists fiercely, staring in the direction of the door with a gaze that could seemingly burn a hole through it.
After a long while, he forced himself to calm down and continued studying the three books Yuan Shu had given him.
He found that the Jade Bamboo Cultivation Art really suited him.
Just by practicing the basics, he felt the blocked meridians in his body slowly loosening.
However, this was probably also due to the effects of the pills and medicinal baths Yuan Shu had given him.
He was now a genuine third-level Qi Condensation disciple!
If he applied now, he could already enter the Falling Immortal Sect and become a regular outer sect disciple.
But he knew that everything he had was given by Yuan Shu, and he would absolutely never leave her!
Besides, he didn't want to leave.
He also wanted to become someone by Yuan Shu's side!
If Shu Linyuan could, and Shen Qi could, then he definitely could too!
When that time came, there would be no need for any objects; it would be him truly serving her!
Yun Sheng took a deep breath. Although he knew he should block out the sounds and focus on studying the book in his hands, he didn't want to miss even the slightest sound from Yuan Shu.
Even as those sounds drifted into his ears, he couldn't help but let out soft, low pants.
...
Inside the Joyous Union Divine Tree Space.
Beside the tree base that originally glowed with deep blue and golden light, a streak of profound black light suddenly lit up.
Yuan Shu was slightly stunned. After sensing it carefully, she was amazed.
Shen Qi's supreme spiritual root was actually of the dark element!
Goodness, mutated supreme spiritual roots like light and dark were incredibly rare and sought after.
In her past life, Yuan Shu had only seen two in several hundred years.
To think that Shen Qi was also one?
However, his supreme dark spiritual root element seemed to have a flaw, which hindered his cultivation speed.
Otherwise, with the talent of such a supreme mutated spiritual root, the current Shen Qi would probably have entered the Nascent Soul stage long ago!
Yuan Shu raised an eyebrow, her mind racing. Just as she was distracted for a moment, Shen Qi lowered his head and kissed her lips.
"Shushu, you're still distracted at a time like this. Is it because I, your Eldest Senior Brother, am not working hard enough?"
"Shushu, look at me. Only think of me, okay?"
He lowered his head, kissing Yuan Shu passionately, and with a pull of his hands, he lifted her onto his lap.
Yuan Shu's eyes trembled slightly. She reached out to wrap her arms around his neck, casually popping a Joyous Union Fruit into her mouth as she met his kiss.
Indeed, this was not the time to be distracted.
A supreme dark element spiritual root was also an extremely rare foundational prototype for the Joyous Union Tree.
For the first time, she definitely had to eat her fill!
