In the room, two tall women were wrestling on the bed.
“Surnamed Ji, just admit defeat. You’re no match for me!”
“Lu Xiyue, don’t be so arrogant!”
Bang bang bang!!
Without using any true qi, the two fought especially fiercely. Their hair was disheveled, their clothes in disarray. It had to be said….the scene was quite a sight, so captivating that Chu Feng couldn’t take his eyes off them.
Those legs! That waist! That surging, overwhelming presence!
Taking advantage of the moment when his master and Sister Wan’er weren’t paying attention, he quietly took out a recording stone and captured the scenery before him.
He truly hadn’t expected that gentle Sister Wan’er also had such a bold and unrestrained side.
At first, his master had the upper hand, pinning Sister Wan’er beneath her so she couldn’t move.
Suddenly, Sister Wan’er exerted force with her slender waist, and the situation reversed. Now it was she who had his master pinned down.
Actually, earlier they had only been sparring verbally. Then the conflict escalated, gradually turning into physical contact, until it developed into this scene.
As a spectator, Chu Feng was thoroughly feasting his eyes, though he was also somewhat nervous.
“Feng’er! Hurry over and help your master!”
“Little brother, if you don’t come over, big sister can let you see how miserable your master looks.”
“Hey, hey, stop! Stop! You’re too heavy. You’re crushing me, I can’t breathe!!”
“You! What nonsense are you talking about! Who are you calling heavy!? I-I’m very light, okay!”
The battle was exceptionally intense!
Chu Feng’s blood was boiling as he watched. Normally, both his master and Sister Wan’er carried themselves like gentle, refined older sisters, especially composed and dignified. This was the first time he had ever seen a scene like today’s.
Seeing his master pinned beneath Sister Wan’er, he really wanted to go over and help—but his feet simply wouldn’t move.
His brain wanted to help his master at this moment, but his lower instincts strongly disagreed.
Just then, his communication token stirred. Chu Feng took it out, infused it with true qi, and a voice message sounded in his ear.
“You brat, I’m waiting for you at the bamboo grove pavilion. Get over here right now.”
Perfect timing. He felt that if he stayed any longer, the flames of battle might spread to him. So he quickly slipped away.
“Master, Sister Wan’er, I suddenly have something to take care of. You two have fun.”
Before leaving, he turned back for one last glance….then closed the door behind him.
***
Not long after, following the map’s directions, Chu Feng arrived at a bamboo grove. He truly hadn’t expected that the communication token even had a navigation function.
Wasn’t this basically location sharing?
As he entered the grove, a pavilion came into view not far ahead. A woman in green sat inside.
After walking closer, Chu Feng seemed to catch a faint scent of alcohol in the air.
“Greetings, Senior. May I ask why you were looking for me?”
Given recent events, he had assumed Liu Shijing would avoid him for a while. Unexpectedly, not only was she not avoiding him….she had even taken the initiative to meet him.
A faint blush tinged Liu Shijing’s cheeks at this moment, though under the cover of night it wasn’t obvious unless one looked closely.
As her gaze fell on the young man before her, she recalled the Holy Master’s words during the meeting and how the elders had fiercely argued over that final spot.
“You brat… about the matter the Holy Master arranged… do you… object?”
When she reached the last sentence, Liu Shijing subconsciously shifted her gaze away, not daring to look him directly in the eye.
The matter Aunt Zi arranged?
Chu Feng froze for a moment, then remembered….it was about the Holy Saintess and this senior…
“Of course I don’t object.”
If anything, he had gained a huge advantage.
The mature woman, graceful and composed, was momentarily stunned by his words. Her beautiful eyes flickered, and her fingers intertwined restlessly, betraying the turmoil in her heart.
“So… you’re saying you agree, you brat?”
“Yes.”
Chu Feng looked at Liu Shijing in front of him. It wasn’t just a young girl’s tsundere attitude that was charming…even a mature woman acting tsundere had its own unique flavor.
Now he was certain. Liu Shijing was simply a pure tsundere. Or perhaps, because of the Holy Saintess, she just couldn’t let herself relax.
Hearing his answer, Liu Shijing let out a breath of relief inwardly. No, wait! Why was she relieved? She had come to ask whether this brat truly liked Xueyao. How had her thoughts drifted to herself instead!?
“That’s not it. I was asking what you think about Xueyao—”
At that moment, a familiar aura gradually approached.
Xueyao!
Liu Shijing was startled. It was night. A lone man and woman together. She had told Xueyao before that she had no interest in this brat. If Xueyao caught her here now, wouldn’t that prove everything she’d said was a lie? And she wouldn’t even be able to explain herself!
She anxiously glanced around. Aside from the bamboo grove, there was nothing….no large rocks, no place to hide.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on her own wide skirt.
“You brat, y-you… hurry and crouch down!”
Liu Shijing quickly stood up, her tone urgent.
“Crouch down? Senior, what are you planning to do?”
Chu Feng looked completely confused, but he still did as he was told. Liu Shijing immediately pressed down on his head, then lifted her skirt and shoved him underneath it.
“!!??”
Chu Feng was instantly dumbfounded.
Truly, utterly dumbfounded.
Two soft, full thighs clamped tightly around him, leaving him unable to move at all.
After finishing all this, Liu Shijing bit her red lip lightly. If she were discovered now, she truly wouldn’t be able to explain herself.
But there was no other way. There wasn’t a single place nearby to hide someone. Thankfully, she was tall. As long as she stayed seated and didn’t stand up, she believed Xueyao wouldn’t notice anything unusual.
Watching the figure of the cool, aloof fairy appear and slowly walk toward her, Liu Shijing did her best to remain calm and forced a smile.
“Xueyao, what brings you here?”
The cool fairy quietly looked at her aunt. Strange….she had just sensed her husband’s aura a moment ago. Why had it suddenly disappeared?
“About what Master mentioned today… what does Aunt think?”
That brat’s matter…
The moment she thought about Chu Feng being beneath her skirt while she calmly chatted with Xueyao, a tingling sensation spread through her body.
“Mmm….mm??”
Still in a completely stunned state, Chu Feng suddenly felt a wave of warm breath.
“Are you referring to Xueyao’s marriage alliance? As long as Xueyao is willing, your aunt will definitely support you.”
Liu Xueyao lifted her head to look at her aunt and gently shook it. “Aunt, you know it’s not about me; it’s about you.”
On the surface, Zixin’er had left one final slot open. But in truth, that slot had long since been decided. It was meant for Liu Shijing. She simply didn’t want to admit it yet.
Usually, it’s the aunt who advises the niece about marriage. A niece advising her aunt to get married….that was rather rare.
Beneath the skirt, when Chu Feng heard the Holy Saintess mention a marriage alliance, his mind stirred. Could she be referring to what Aunt Zi had mentioned back in the hot spring…forming a marital bond?
Seeing that she couldn’t avoid the topic, Liu Shijing met her niece’s questioning gaze.
“Xueyao… I still need some time to think about it.”
From outright refusal at the beginning to now saying she needed to think about it, it was clear that something in Liu Shijing’s heart had changed.
Liu Xueyao naturally noticed the shift in her aunt’s words. She didn’t want her aunt to end up alone out of avoidance. She had grown up by her aunt’s side… and in the future, she wanted them to remain together as well.
