Jiang Huai gently knocked on Luo Qingyu’s room door.
He had stood before the door for the time it takes an incense stick to burn before knocking, yet he had spent the entire night agonizing over how to confess to Luo Qingyu and still hadn’t figured it out. The time spent standing there was merely a drop in the bucket.
No, it wasn’t about how to confess to Luo Qingyu, but rather how to appease her after the confession.
He realized he could no longer quite fathom Luo Qingyu’s emotions. What would her reaction be? Tears and sulking? Or would she pretend nothing happened and gently say she didn’t blame Jiang Huai Gege? Both were possible. Jiang Huai felt he might prefer the latter, but the latter would likely only be Luo Qingyu’s pretense. If he also succumbed to Luo Qingyu’s pretense, would that inadvertently thicken the emotional barrier between them by another layer?
Jiang Huai’s mind was in chaos. The room door was opened by Luo Qingyu using Spiritual Qi. Luo Qingyu, inside the room, was resting. She hadn’t slept all night in the Immortal Spirit Secret Realm. Upon hearing the knocking sound, she opened her eyes.
The girl’s dress and skirt were neatly stacked to one side, her snow white, slender body enveloped in a thin silk quilt, only her head exposed. The moment she saw Jiang Huai, her eyes curved into crescents, “Jiang Huai Gege, come quickly.”
So, Jiang Huai arrived and sat by the bed. Luo Qingyu pulled back the quilt, her fair and tender little hands patting the surface of the bed beside her. Thus, Jiang Huai lay down beside Luo Qingyu. Luo Qingyu’s fragrant and soft body snuggled into his embrace. She was wearing only a loose, dark-colored undergarment. Because her chest was full, the overly tight undergarment was uncomfortable to wear, so the neckline of this garment was very low. Jiang Huai could glimpse a large expanse of warmth and softness by slightly lowering his head.
“I heard Mother say that it seems like many things happened to Jiang Huai Gege in the Daoji Ancestral Land. Can you tell Qingyu about them?”
“I did come to tell Qingyu, but it seems there’s some bad news for Qingyu.” Jiang Huai’s heart began to feel a little uneasy.
Luo Qingyu blinked innocently, tilted her head, and looked at him, “Bad news?”
“Yes, it should be considered so…”
“Then what bad news is it?” Luo Qingyu’s body shrunk closer to him again, and she also grabbed his arm, wrapping it around her waist, gently holding her in his embrace. The girl’s waist was soft and bouncy; even through the thin undergarment, a warm and moist touch could be felt.
“This story has to start before I and Wen Wanwan entered the Daoji Ancestral Land…”
Before confessing that he and Wen Wanwan had already consummated their relationship, Jiang Huai first confessed to Luo Qingyu what he and Wen Wanwan had done during the few days he returned to the Tian Xuan Sect. This was something he had previously promised Luo Qingyu – that he wouldn’t hide anything. Luo Qingyu listened quietly, without interrupting Jiang Huai. After Jiang Huai finished speaking, she looked up at him, “Isn’t this bad news?”
Jiang Huai shook his head, “Not really.”
“Is Qingyu angry?”
Luo Qingyu thought for a moment, “A little bit, but not very angry. I promised Jiang Huai Gege that if Jiang Huai Gege did anything with Wen Wanwan after returning to the Tian Xuan Sect, and if he told Qingyu everything without hiding anything, then Qingyu wouldn’t be angry. I have to keep my promise.”
“Is it really just a little bit?”
“It’s really just a little bit.” Luo Qingyu suddenly squirmed, then her delicate pink lips approached Jiang Huai’s lips, giving him a peck on the lips, “A kiss and I won’t be angry anymore.”
Jiang Huai’s hand gently embraced the girl’s slender waist, feeling the soft touch of her snow-white buttocks as she sat on him, yet his heart couldn’t calm down at all, feeling even more flustered.
Because he genuinely couldn’t tell if Luo Qingyu was actually only a little angry. Perhaps he was overthinking things?
But soon, Luo Qingyu began counting on her fingers, “However… Jiang Huai Gege also promised me that whatever he did with Wen Wanwan, Qingyu should also have… So, Qingyu is going to stay in Jiang Huai Gege’s courtyard for a few days to get compensated by Jiang Huai Gege.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll compensate you for everything, but my story isn’t finished yet…”
“Mhm, Qingyu is listening.” Luo Qingyu’s snow-white buttocks shifted slightly, her eyes meeting his. Jiang Huai looked at her dark pupils, his heart growing increasingly uneasy. But he couldn’t escape at this moment; escaping would make him a coward.
So, he began to recount the events in the Daoji Ancestral Land, speaking of Mo Dan, the inheritor of the Refined Yin Demon Gu, and of the method True Person Qingxuan had proposed to save him in that cave… As he reached this point, he subtly glanced at Luo Qingyu’s expression.
Luo Qingyu’s fingers were tightly clutching her dress at the moment, and then she asked, “Does Jiang Huai Gege have any problems now?”
“No, I don’t have any problems now…” Jiang Huai replied.
“It’s good that Jiang Huai Gege is fine. And then?”
“Then, Wen Wanwan and I… engaged in Dual Cultivation to heal our injuries.”
Finally, it was out in the open.
Although his heart was pounding wildly at this moment, Jiang Huai inexplicably felt a sense of relief. This matter had weighed on his heart for a long, long time. Now that he had finally told Luo Qingyu in person, he felt an inexplicable sense of ease.
“Eh?” Luo Qingyu reached out, her fingers gently pinching Jiang Huai’s cheek, turning his face, which he had deliberately averted, back towards her. This time, Jiang Huai had no choice but to look at Luo Qingyu.
Luo Qingyu reached out and tugged at the corner of Jiang Huai’s mouth.
Jiang Huai dared not speak, watching Luo Qingyu in front of him with extreme caution.
But Luo Qingyu’s face did not show the anger or grievance he had expected. She hadn’t even shed a tear. Her eyes were exceptionally innocent and curious, and she softly asked, “Jiang Huai Gege, are you worried I’ll be angry?”
“Yes, yes…”
“Is Qingyu usually unreasonable?” Luo Qingyu’s eyes finally showed a hint of grievance. “If Wen Wanwan hadn’t saved Jiang Huai Gege back then, Jiang Huai Gege would have died in the Daoji Ancestral Land. Why is Jiang Huai Gege afraid of me getting angry about this?”
“I’m afraid you’ll feel… uncomfortable.”
“Jiang Huai Gege is the silly one!” Luo Qingyu suddenly pounced forward, her delicate pink lotus-like arms tightly embracing Jiang Huai’s body. She buried her face in Jiang Huai’s neck. “Is this the bad news you were going to tell me?”
“Yes…”
“This is not bad news at all. As long as Jiang Huai Gege is safe in the Daoji Ancestral Land, it’s good news for Qingyu. If you Dual Cultivated, you Dual Cultivated. Qingyu also wants to thank Sister Wanwan.”
“Really… no discomfort?”
“No!”
“Really, really, really, really no discomfort?” Jiang Xiaohu truly felt a sense of immense relief at this moment. He cautiously looked at Luo Qingyu’s fair and tender little face, trying to find any trace of pretense. But even with all his questioning, Luo Qingyu’s eyes only held a hint of grievance. “Does that mean in Jiang Huai Gege’s heart, Qingyu is an unreasonable woman?”
“Of course not. My Qingyu is the most, most, most reasonable.” Jiang Huai tightly embraced Luo Qingyu’s body and leaned in, planting a kiss on her cheek.
After kissing Luo Qingyu’s cheek, a marvelous chain reaction ensued. Luo Qingyu’s upper body leaned forward slightly, her delicate pink lips parted, her rosy, soft tongue seemed to sneak out, her eyes fixed intently on Jiang Huai in front of her. By the time Jiang Huai’s palm gently touched the back of her head, Luo Qingyu had already pounced.
After a while, Luo Qingyu straightened up again, her fair and tender little hands resting on Jiang Huai’s shoulders, her sapphire blue eyes incredibly serious. “Qingyu won’t be angry about this. As long as Jiang Huai Gege is well, it’s not bad news… The only bad news would be if Jiang Huai Gege told me he wanted to marry Sister Wanwan first and then marry Qingyu. That would be bad news that would make Qingyu sad.”
“Never, of course, I’ll marry Qingyu first.”
“And then marry Sister Wanwan?” Luo Qingyu blinked her innocent eyes, and the next second, she let out a soft hum, her forehead bumping against Jiang Huai’s chest several times. “Jiang Huai Gege is so greedy.”
“So…”
“I’ll see how Jiang Huai Gege performs.” Luo Qingyu turned her little face away. “Anyway, I can’t say for sure, and Jiang Huai Gege probably won’t agree. So please like Qingyu a little more. If Qingyu senses that Jiang Huai Gege likes her a little more, Qingyu will agree.”
Jiang Huai looked at her, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry. He reached out and gently lifted her chin. “Then what does it mean to like Qingyu a little more?”
“Qingyu won’t say. I’ll see how Jiang Huai Gege performs himself.” Luo Qingyu tilted her little face, her delicate pink lips lowering to gently bite his fingertip.
“Has Qingyu grown taller recently?” Jiang Huai asked curiously.
“Being in the Immortal Spirit Secret Realm is equivalent to being outside for seven or eight months. I’ve grown a little taller. It seems Tuan Tuan has also grown a bit. The undergarments Jiang Huai Gege gave me before are a little tight now.”
“Oh? Then I’ll get you new ones.”
“But Qingyu hasn’t measured the size yet.”
? Such an honest attempt at fishing.
Jiang Xiaohu honestly took the bait. He reached out and placed his hand on the girl’s shoulder, gently grasping her shoulder strap. “Then… shall I measure you?”
…
“Why do I always feel… Jiang Huai Gege is becoming more and more skilled at bullying…”
Luo Qingyu’s body was soft and limp, curled up in Jiang Huai’s embrace. Even though Jiang Huai hadn’t done anything to her, he had just measured her size and kissed Tuan Tuan, and Luo Qingyu was already unable to lift any strength. Jiang Huai, cuddled with her under the covers, answered very honestly, “It seems I have become much more skilled.”
Luo Qingyu poked his chest with her finger, and after a long while, she leaned in again and gently bit his chest. She tilted her little face up. “When… we return to Moon Wave Continent, Qingyu also wants to…”
“Wants to what?”
Luo Qingyu suddenly tightened her teeth slightly. She raised her head and let out a soft hum, “Still don’t know then?”
“I know, I know…” Jiang Xiaohu lowered his head. Only then did Luo Qingyu gently blow on his chest, muttering softly, “I didn’t bite very hard…”
“It doesn’t hurt, it’s fine.”
“But when Jiang Huai Gege bit me earlier, it felt… so comfortable.” Luo Qingyu tilted her little face up, looking at him innocently. “So… I want Jiang Huai Gege to bite me again.”
