The morning mist was hazy.
Jiang Huai’s eyes were currently fixed on the sweet porridge in the pot.
When he woke up in the early morning, Chu Xianning was still sleeping soundly in his arms. Even in her sleep, Chu Xianning’s body was still gently holding him. The sound of him getting up disturbed her. His Master groggily opened her eyes and softly chided him, as if acting spoiled.
Only when he said he was going to cook porridge did Chu Xianning obediently let him go. Jiang Huai covered her with the quilt again, lit the stove, and only now did his head feel slightly clearer.
Yesterday, he had been groggy and hazy all day. Everything felt like a blurred dream. Even though this scene had appeared countless times in his dreams, when it truly became a reality, he still felt a little dazed.
Yesterday, the two of them had refined the Green Vine Spirit Source several times. Chu Xianning’s old injuries had already healed, and she no longer felt the cold and aching pain in her body on rainy days. His old injury had also healed more than halfway, and his cultivation level had also broken through to the Great Perfection of Mahayana Sixth Stage.
Chu Xianning’s cultivation level had advanced to Mahayana Third Stage.
At this moment, cultivation no longer held much meaning for Jiang Huai. Below the Ninth Realm, he was already invincible. Below the Ninth Realm Fifth Stage, he could completely fight. However, even if you counted them all, there were not more than ten cultivators at the Ninth Realm Fifth Stage in this world.
The scenes from yesterday kept replaying in his mind. Yesterday had been from early morning until late at night, and they had hardly left the bed. The only time he got out of bed was probably when he picked up Chu Xianning’s body and placed her on the desk. Chu Xianning had to reach out and gently place her hands on his shoulders, lifting her calves to grip his waist, not allowing him to go too far.
After a while, Jiang Huai came back to his senses, shook his head, and shattered these images. He served the sweet porridge from the pot and carried the porcelain bowl back to the room. He picked up the soup spoon. Chu Xianning slowly woke up. She hadn’t put on her clothes yet. Yesterday, her body was completely naked, but she lacked the strength to get dressed, so she had slept obediently in his arms. Now, she sat up slightly. Just as she was about to pick up the nearby clothes, Jiang Huai said softly, “Master can rest in bed for a while longer.”
He had already scooped up some sweet porridge with the soup spoon, blew on it to cool it, and gently brought it to Chu Xianning’s lips.
Chu Xianning hesitated for a moment, her delicate pink lips parted slightly. She drank the porridge obediently, like a kitten being fed.
***
The morning mist lingered for a long time, and Chu Xianning had already gotten up.
Although she had imprinted every part of her Master’s body in her mind yesterday, when she was dressing, she still felt a little shy being stared at by Jiang Huai. So, she lifted her small leg and gently kicked his waist, telling him to wait outside the door obediently. Jiang Huai sat in the pavilion. When Chu Xianning walked out of the courtyard, she was wearing a simple and elegant white dress. The light purple sheer veil draped over her shoulders revealed a bit of elegance and purity.
This outfit concealed most of her skin. Even her white and tender little feet under her ankles were stepping into jade-colored high heels. She walked step by step towards Jiang Huai and sat opposite him. Her eyes seemed to want to maintain their usual coldness, but at this moment, when Jiang Huai looked into her eyes, he always felt that her eyes held an indescribable gentleness and softness, as if revealing a hint of shyness.
The two of them looked at each other for a while, as if playing a game of who would look away first. Gradually, Chu Xianning’s coldness disappeared. She bit her lip, and her delicate pink earlobes became even more so.
After a few more seconds, Chu Xianning finally mumbled softly, “Why are you staring at me?”
“Because it’s rare to see Master blushing.”
Chu Xianning’s eyes immediately became reproachful. Her white and tender little feet under the table originally wanted to kick him, but she remembered she was wearing high heels, so she changed to gently kicking his calf with the tip of her shoe. She began to divert the topic guiltily, “How is your injury?”
“It has already recovered seventy percent. The remaining thirty percent might be healed after about ten more rounds of dual cultivation,” Jiang Huai replied softly. The marvelous effect of the Green Vine Spirit Source was not just for healing injuries. Yesterday, it only took less than one percent of the spirit source to heal Chu Xianning’s old injury. If all the Green Vine Spirit Source were refined, Jiang Huai’s cultivation level would probably reach about Ninth Realm Third or Fourth Stage.
As soon as she heard “about ten times,” Chu Xianning’s body trembled slightly. Jiang Huai hastily corrected himself and said, “We can take our time, there’s no rush. This injury is not a big deal anyway… Master can cultivate whenever she wants.”
Chu Xianning bit her lip and looked at him with complicated eyes, then finally turned her face away, her voice becoming much softer.
“As you wish.”
This time, it was Jiang Huai’s turn to be slightly stunned. He suddenly wanted to say something, but words failed him as they reached his lips. So, he moved his gaze to Chu Xianning’s profile. At this moment, her cheeks were flushed with a radiant glow, delicate and charming.
He felt that Master had suddenly become more womanly.
Or was it that the Chu Xianning he saw in his eyes had merged with the shy and gentle Chu Xianning he had seen yesterday, which was why he felt this way? Jiang Huai couldn’t be sure, but he suddenly wanted to hold Master in his arms and kiss her fiercely.
When Chu Xianning turned her head and saw Jiang Huai staring at her delicate pink lips in a daze, a hint of shyness and annoyance welled up in her heart again. “You… what do you want to do again?”
“I want to hold Master in my arms and kiss her.”
“You…”
Chu Xianning originally wanted to scold this guy for being undisciplined, depraved, and shameless. But how could these words hurt him? If anyone was shameless, it was clearly her yesterday, acting so obedient and doting on him, which was the height of shamelessness.
Perhaps driven by a sense of “what’s done is done,” Chu Xianning stared into Jiang Huai’s eyes for several more seconds, trying to scare him away with the coldness in her eyes. But Jiang Huai didn’t dodge at all, just looked at her tenderly.
Finally, Chu Xianning slowly stood up and walked towards him in her high heels. Looking at Jiang Huai in front of her, she lowered her head slightly. Jiang Huai looked up at her, and she bent down slightly, bringing her delicate pink lips closer.
Chu Xianning leaned in and gave a light kiss before quickly retreating, her eyes becoming flustered and shy again.
She feigned a dignified and calm demeanor, lightly tapping his forehead with her fingertips. “Are you satisfied?”
“Satisfied, but not enough,” Jiang Huai winked at her again. Before Chu Xianning could speak, her waist was suddenly embraced by Jiang Huai, and almost instinctively, her buttocks landed on Jiang Huai’s lap.
Chu Xianning’s eyes trembled for a moment.
Straddling him like this reminded her of the scene yesterday when she was riding on Jiang Huai. To this day, she still only dared to move her waist lightly. If she were to lift her hips and move up and down, she would be sweating profusely and lose her strength within ten seconds, completely collapsing. Now, straddling him like this, his face was so close.
And Jiang Huai’s hand had already gently climbed onto her back, stroking her jet-black, smooth hair, gazing into her eyes. Chu Xianning ultimately did not break free, only closed her eyelashes.
Jiang Huai slowly leaned closer, and her delicate pink lips parted slightly.
Sensing the soft touch of Chu Xianning’s delicate pink tongue made Jiang Huai’s heart beat faster and faster. Her lips were sweet and soft. Jiang Huai’s fingertips gently traced her back, causing her back to arch like a cat. For some reason, Jiang Huai suddenly thought, what if Master were to pin him under a chair like this, wearing high heels, with her body moving up and down… No, no, he couldn’t get distracted while kissing.
But just thinking about it made Chu Xianning sense something was wrong. She gently pinched Jiang Huai’s ear with her fingertips. During the brief pause between their lips parting, she said in a muffled voice, “Don’t… again… so many times yesterday… you still…”
“No, no… it’s just that Master’s lips are too sweet.”
“You… are you wanting to be fed saliva again… Little bastard…”
“Huh? Is Master teasing me?”
Her slender waist was fully embraced, her jet-black hair was soft and smooth, and her chest was also closer. His fingertips continuously glided lightly over her waist, and her body gradually softened. If they continued to kiss for a while longer, perhaps if this guy picked her up and took off her clothes again, she would have no strength left to resist.
No…
She couldn’t always be bullied by this disobedient disciple…
But her body was uncooperative. Chu Xianning suddenly felt a hint of grievance. So, she lightly bit Jiang Huai’s lips again and hurriedly pressed down on his shoulders to stand up, moving away from him. She looked down at Jiang Huai’s face from above, looking at his lips, which still had some moist marks, and didn’t know whose they were.
“Are you done kissing?” Her voice became cold again.
“If Master asks, then no.”
“Open your mouth.” Chu Xianning said calmly.
Jiang Huai obediently opened his lips, but Chu Xianning extended her slender fingers and grabbed his tongue tip, even pulling it out slightly. Jiang Huai’s eyes widened, and he mumbled like he was wronged. Unfortunately, Chu Xianning was not fooled. She pinched his tongue with her fingertips and asked, “Are you done kissing?”
“Yes, yes.”
Jiang Huai mumbled his reply. Chu Xianning then withdrew her hand, but looking at the water stains on her fingertips, she suddenly thought of something. Her fair and tender fingers reached towards Jiang Huai’s lips again, as if signaling him to lick them clean.
Another embarrassing challenge.
After yesterday, Jiang Huai could now easily be shameless in front of Chu Xianning. He leaned closer and gently took Chu Xianning’s finger into his mouth. Chu Xianning stared at him coldly. After a long while, it was she who finally withdrew her finger in a panic, picked up a handkerchief, wiped it carefully, and sat back opposite Jiang Huai.
“You… don’t think about… doing bad things all day…” Chu Xianning murmured softly.
“Mhm, I don’t.”
Jiang Huai propped his chin with his hand, looking at Chu Xianning, who was sitting ramrod straight. He then thought of what Chu Xianning had said earlier, “As you wish,” and slowly said, “Then… after three days, can we refine the Green Vine Spirit Source together again, Master?”
Chu Xianning bit her lip and turned her face away. After thinking for a long time, she very, very softly agreed.
“Okay.”
