In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.
During this period, the newly appointed head of the Liu family, Liu Ling, thoroughly purged all the former patriarch Liu Tiancheng’s loyal followers.
As for Liu Tiancheng’s family, both his son and daughter had their cultivation crippled and were imprisoned within the estate for life.
Considering that Liu Tiancheng had once been the family head, Liu Ling arranged for an elder to help him preserve some dignity.
The only troublesome matter was Jia Tianfeng. As the daughter of the Jia family’s patriarch, Liu Ling truly did not know how to deal with her for the time being.
The Jia family’s patriarch doted heavily on this daughter of his; otherwise, Jia Tianfeng would never have developed such a personality.…
If they killed her, the Jia family would definitely fight to the bitter end. But if they let her live, the same Liu family members who had supported Liu Ling’s rise to patriarch could just as easily force him down again.
At that moment, someone proposed an idea. Since the Jia family patriarch treasured this daughter so much, why not demand compensation from the Jia family in exchange? That way, the Liu family could recover the losses caused by Jia Tianfeng.
After sending word to the Jia family, the Jia family replied that negotiations were possible, but the meeting location had to be within Jia territory.
Naturally, the Liu family refused and insisted that the meeting take place within Liu territory.
The two sides argued for several days over nothing more than the negotiation venue. In the end, they settled on a small city located between the territories of both factions, where the “negotiations” would be held.
After learning that even the Jia family’s old ancestor would be attending, Liu Ling shamelessly requested that Liu Shijing accompany them as well.
But no one could have imagined that after the Jia family made this trip, there would no longer be a Jia family.
***
Evening, Shahe Town.
It was an unremarkable little town.
Yuelai Inn, the most luxurious inn in Shahe Town, had been completely reserved by the Liu and Jia families for three whole days.
Jingle jingle—
A gentle breeze blew past, causing the wind chimes hanging beneath the inn’s eaves to ring softly.
Before long, a massive spirit vessel slowly descended from the sky. A large “Liu” character was carved onto it, making it obvious at a glance which family it belonged to.
The inn waiter hurried over enthusiastically to greet them.
But when he saw the Liu family members acting incomparably respectful toward a mature and graceful woman, the waiter was completely stunned. He had never seen such a beautiful woman before.
There also seemed to be a young man beside her, but because of the woman’s tall figure, the waiter’s angle of view happened to leave the boy completely hidden behind her.
Inside the inn room, the atmosphere between the youth and the beauty was rather awkward.
Originally, Liu Shijing had planned to come alone and leave Xueyao behind to take care of the brat.
Who would have thought that Xueyao would use the excuse, “Little Aunt is an eighth-rank cultivator, so Husband will be safer by Little Aunt’s side,” to push the brat directly onto her.
The key point was that she could not even refute it.
After a moment of silence, Chu Feng spoke first. “Um… if Aunt Jing feels awkward staying together with me, I can go to the room next door.”
He had originally thought that after tricking Liu Shijing into confessing her feelings, she would become much more straightforward.
But reality proved otherwise. After confessing, the tsundere beauty had instead become like a shy young girl experiencing love for the first time. Whenever she was alone with him, she would fidget restlessly, not even daring to meet his eyes.
“Wait!” Liu Shijing hurriedly stood up and stopped him. “Brat, right now both the righteous and demonic factions are searching for you. It’s too dangerous for you to stay alone.”
If the brat got abducted because of her, she would have no face left to return and see Xueyao.
In an attempt to ease the awkward atmosphere, Liu Shijing said, “This one is somewhat tired from the journey. I’ll go wash up first. You stay here properly and don’t run around.”
In truth, she wanted to take a bath to cool down her overheated mind. Ever since confessing to the brat, every moment they spent alone together made her cheeks burn hot.
Fortunately, this was the best room in the finest inn in Shahe Town. Not only was the room spacious, it even had a bathing pool inside, separated by a large screen.
When she reached the screen, Liu Shijing turned back to glance at Chu Feng. Just as her crimson lips parted to speak, Chu Feng immediately blurted out, “Don’t worry, Aunt Jing, I won’t peek!”
Hearing that, Liu Shijing swallowed the words she had been about to say. When she turned her face away again, her beautiful cheeks had become even redder.
Actually, what she had wanted to say was that she did not mind bathing together with him.
Luckily she had not managed to say it aloud; otherwise, wouldn’t that have made her seem like some shamelessly lustful woman in front of the brat…?
Liu Shijing walked behind the screen and untied the sash at her waist, causing her full, ample breasts to bounce slightly.
She draped her green robes and undergarments over the clothing rack before her fair and voluptuous body slowly sank into the bathing pool.
The soft splashing of water reached Chu Feng’s ears, making it impossible for him to sit still. Words like big, white, and soft involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
Unable to remain seated any longer, he got up and began pacing around the room, eventually wandering over to the doorway without realizing it.
Just as his thoughts were running wild, his nose twitched slightly. He seemed to catch a familiar scent. A faint fragrance that was elegant, cool, and aloof.
That scent… it was Saintess Sister!?
A storm instantly surged within Chu Feng’s heart. Hadn’t Saintess Sister said she wasn’t coming? Why would she appear here?!
He quietly cracked open the door. Through the narrow gap, he saw a white-robed beauty wearing a veil walk into the room next door. Although her face was hidden, Chu Feng recognized her instantly the moment he saw her figure, thanks to all the time they had spent sleeping together.
That hourglass figure. It was definitely Saintess Sister.
If her figure were a little more voluptuous, then it would be Aunt Jing. As for the most outrageously endowed woman he had ever seen, that was undoubtedly Sister Tiantian. Those enormous assets of hers were enough to make even Senior Sister Yuyan, a near D-rank powerhouse herself, willingly admit defeat…
“Brat, what are you doing standing by the door?”
While he was lost in thought, the beauty’s voice came from behind him.
“Nothing, Aunt Jing. I was just contemplating life.”
Chu Feng turned around, only to freeze on the spot.
Liu Shijing was dressed in a thin layer of light green clothing. The pale cyan undergarment beneath could not fully support her ample softness, and along the edges, one could even glimpse curves of snowy-white skin.
Her long legs were pressed lightly together, while the thin trousers, faintly revealing the fair skin beneath, now clung to her body with an especially snug fit.
Fresh from her bath, the beauty even had droplets of water still trailing from the strands beside her temples.
Th-This… who could possibly withstand such a trial…?
Chu Feng stood there completely dumbfounded.
A certain master’s words suddenly surfaced in his mind—
A swimsuit seen through a soaked T-shirt is the true swimsuit.
At that moment, Chu Feng also felt that he really needed a bath to cool himself down.
“Aunt Jing, I’m going to wash up too…”
Chu Feng quickly walked behind the screen and efficiently began stripping off his clothes.
Water!
Liu Shijing froze for a moment before abruptly realizing she had not drained the bathwater yet.
“Y-You bra…”
Splash!
The sound of something falling into the water echoed out.
The temperature in her cheeks, which she had only just managed to cool down, instantly surged upward again.
Hearing the sound of splashing water coming from inside, Liu Shijing lightly pressed her crimson lips together. In the end, she walked over to the bed, lifted the blanket, and lay down beneath it. She closed her eyes, but only moments later opened them again.
What if, after the brat came out, he climbed into bed too and suddenly became overwhelmed with desire?
After all, right now there were only the two of them in the room. A lone man and woman sharing a room was already somewhat ambiguous to begin with, not to mention that she had already confessed to him, and the two of them had even crossed that line together.
If the brat came over later with reddened eyes, should she first resist to the death before lying there in embarrassed indignation? Or should she half-heartedly refuse while naturally going along with it?
Splash—
Liu Shijing saw a silhouette appear behind the screen and knew that the brat had finished bathing. Her heart immediately began pounding wildly.
Tap. Tap.
The sound of approaching footsteps drew closer and closer.
