The desire for food and sex is human nature. If you want to look, just look. It is not like I am forbidding you. Yuan Shu chuckled softly, stepping into the bathing barrel.
Her casual remark made Yun Sheng, who was standing behind her, jerk his head up. He stared unblinkingly at the breathtaking scenery.
Yes, I understand.
Yuan Shu gave a faint hum of acknowledgment. The arm Yun Sheng was supporting suddenly lifted, trailing down his chest. She squeezed his pectoral muscles, the corners of her lips curling up.
Seems like you have put on some muscle?
Yun Sheng's body tensed, not daring to move recklessly.
Yuan Shu's small hand slid down from his chest, tracing his firm waistline before resting on his lower abdomen.
Although there is not much muscle, this body has finally gained some flesh. Not bad.
She commented, sitting down in the bath. Take off your clothes and come in.
?!
Yun Sheng's expression changed, and he looked up in shock.
Did he hear her right?
Yuan Shu was asking him, asking him to strip and get in?
Seeing his dazed look, Yuan Shu explained with a rare good temper.
A few days ago, your constitution was too weak to withstand the direct effects of the medicinal bath, so I had you use the bathwater I had finished with.
Now your cultivation is progressing quite well. At the third level of Qi Condensation, you can soak in the medicinal bath directly.
Come in. Do not make me say it a third time.
Yuan Shu spoke lightly. She would not bother repeating herself a third time.
Wild joy surged in Yun Sheng's heart. His Adam's apple bobbed a few times as he hastily shed his clothes and carefully stepped into the wooden tub.
In the pale green medicinal liquid, Yuan Shu's skin was as white as snow, like the most beautiful warm jade in the world. Yun Sheng could not help but steal a few more glances.
In merely an instant, the blood in his veins began to boil.
Yuan Shu, however, seemed oblivious. She beckoned to him. Come here.
Yun Sheng hurriedly crawled over on his knees.
The next second, Yuan Shu leaned back, resting right against his chest.
Yun Sheng tensed up, causing his newly muscled chest to go completely taut.
Yuan Shu frowned and reached out to pat his arm. Why are you so tense? Relax.
Yun Sheng took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and slowly relaxed.
Mhm, only when you relax is it comfortable to lean on.
She spoke lazily, Alright, start the massage.
Yun Sheng's excited heart trembled slightly. He nodded and began massaging her as instructed.
After two rounds of the routine, Yuan Shu was leaning entirely in Yun Sheng's embrace.
A hand slid up along her soft, slender waist. Yuan Shu let out a soft moan, and immediately after, her lips were captured by Yun Sheng.
Mmph...
Yuan Shu struggled briefly. Looking up, she met Yun Sheng's pleading gaze. Miss Yuan...
His voice was hoarse, and tears shimmered in his beautiful cherry-pink eyes, heavily overwhelmed by lust.
Yuan Shu's eyes flickered. She sighed and reached out to wrap her arms around his neck.
Never mind. Carry me back to the room.
...
Two hours later, Yuan Shu was carried by Yun Sheng to the washroom to clean up.
Yuan Shu looked at his flushed face and incredibly excited expression, and smiled.
Why bother? Aren't you just making it harder for yourself?
Yun Sheng shook his head. No, I am not uncomfortable! Miss Yuan, even if I can only taste you, I am completely satisfied!
He pointed to his own mouth, then lowered his head to tenderly touch Yuan Shu's lips.
Miss Yuan, I will be loyal to you for the rest of my life!
Yuan Shu's eyes wavered. She reached out to caress his smooth, handsome face, a smile touching her lips.
Hurry up and reach the Foundation Establishment stage. When that time comes, I will be yours.
Yun Sheng's eyes lit up, and he held Yuan Shu tightly with both hands. Yes, I will work even harder!
Yun Sheng carefully washed Yuan Shu clean, carried her back to the room, and changed her into clean clothes before turning to leave.
Inside the room, Yuan Shu rested her chin on one hand, watching Yun Sheng leave, and could not help but slowly shake her head.
What a fool. There is no such thing as lifelong loyalty.
She never believed in verbal pledges of loyalty either.
Right now, Yun Sheng only cared for her so much because he had not reached that height yet.
In the future, when he reached the Golden Core, the Nascent Soul, or even the Soul Formation stage, looking back...
He would only find his present self disgraceful.
She had seen it happen before.
So, she did not believe it.
But she could not completely disbelieve it either. At least for now, Yun Sheng truly held her in his heart.
Yuan Shu curled her lips and smiled softly.
...
Senior Brother Shu, you cannot go in!
Night had fallen on Yuan Shu's courtyard. The wind was still, the clouds light, and a few stray stars scattered their bright, dazzling light across the dim sky.
Shu Linyuan approached excitedly, carrying a pastry box in his hand, but was stopped at the door by Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng, look closely at who I am! Did Shushu not tell you before that you do not need to stop me when I come?
Ever since that brief encounter at Wansong Cliff, where he had fallen deeply in love, he had secretly visited Yuan Shu's courtyard twice.
The first time, Yun Sheng discovered him and tried to stop him, but Yuan Shu opened her door and personally said, There is no need to stop Shu Linyuan when he comes.
Therefore, the second time, Shu Linyuan was not stopped.
Tonight was the third time. He had not expected Yun Sheng to block him outside again, and he felt somewhat irritated.
If it were not for the fact that Yun Sheng was someone by Yuan Shu's side, he would definitely beat him to a pulp!
Step aside!
Shu Linyuan shouted coldly, but to his surprise, Yun Sheng merely frowned. He did not speak, nor did he show any intention of moving out of the way.
What is the meaning of this? You...
Shu Linyuan wanted to say more, but faint, peculiar sounds drifted out from the crack in the door.
Once he heard the sounds clearly, Shu Linyuan's expression changed. He looked up in shock, staring at Yuan Shu's room.
Who is in there?!
He pointed at the room, questioning Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng remained silent, still blocking the path and preventing Shu Linyuan from getting closer.
He knew that at a time like this, Yuan Shu absolutely did not want to be disturbed.
Therefore, he would securely guard the door for her.
Shu Linyuan's face flushed red with anger.
That voice... it was unmistakably Yuan Shu's.
And that other voice... why did it sound somewhat familiar?
Who on earth was it?
Who was bullying Yuan Shu?
Furious, Shu Linyuan wanted to barge in, but Yun Sheng held him back.
Just as Shu Linyuan was gathering his spiritual energy, raising his hand to strike and force his way in, Yuan Shu's soft, sweet, and slightly husky voice drifted from inside the room.
Yun Sheng, let him in.
Yun Sheng's expression shifted slightly, and the hands at his sides suddenly clenched into fists.
If he let Shu Linyuan in and he saw the scene inside, what if he did something extreme and hurt Yuan Shu?
Looking at Shu Linyuan's expression, it was obvious he came with ill intentions.
He did not want to step aside.
While Yun Sheng was hesitating, Yuan Shu's voice rang out again.
Yun Sheng, let him in.
Yes.
Yun Sheng pursed his lips and ultimately decided to obey Yuan Shu's command.
He stepped sideways, clearing the path to the room.
Shu Linyuan glared at him viciously, then strode toward the room.
The moment he pushed the door open, Shu Linyuan jerked his head up. When he saw the scene inside clearly, his face filled with disbelief.
Eldest Senior Brother, you... why are you here? You... what are you two doing?!
