Liu Shijing’s words were nothing short of shocking. Not only were the surrounding crowd unable to believe it, even Liu Tiancheng was startled. Pointing at Chu Feng, he said, “Isn’t he Xueyao’s husband?”
Liu Tiancheng had personally heard Liu Xueyao call the young man “husband” and besides, he found it hard to believe that his younger sister would actually fancy someone so much younger than herself.
However, Liu Shijing explained with a completely serious expression:
“Mhm, this kid’s surname is Xiang, given name Gong. His full name is Xiang Gong.”
Good grief, someone’s actually named that? You didn’t just make that up on the spot, did you?
The crowd silently complained inwardly.
After saying that, Liu Shijing even shot Chu Feng a meaningful look.
Chu Feng instantly got what the senior meant and quickly said:
“That’s right, I am Xiang Gong.”
Holy crap! Isn’t this way too ridiculous? There’s really someone with that name…?
Such thoughts drifted through everyone’s minds.
The world truly was full of strange things.
“I don’t believe it!” Jia Tianfeng spoke up again. She still suspected they were lying and stared fixedly at Liu Shijing as she said:
“You say he is, and that makes it true? Where’s the proof?”
Liu Shijing narrowed her beautiful eyes. “How do you want us to prove it?”
“At the very least, you have to kiss him once. Otherwise, it’s just empty words!”
What!?
“Kiss?!”
Chu Feng’s body trembled. In front of so many people, they were really going to kiss—
“Alright.”
Liu Shijing agreed immediately.
“!!!”
Chu Feng looked at Liu Shijing again. No way… had the senior lost her tsundere traits or something?
He watched as Liu Shijing slowly approached him and saw a blush gradually spread across her cheeks.
“Senior, I…”
“Shut up!”
Liu Shijing bashfully snapped at Chu Feng.
“Oh.”
Chu Feng could only obediently close his mouth.
Liu Shijing’s face slowly drew closer. Her warm breath brushed against his face, and his heartbeat began accelerating wildly.
Then, with her pretty face flushed red, she cupped his cheeks with her delicate hands, and his lips felt an incomparably moist and soft touch.
“Mmph!”
At first, Liu Shijing had only intended to touch and pull away immediately, but after kissing him, the young man’s scent flooded her nose and mouth, making her want…
…want to continue.
Suddenly, pain shot through Chu Feng’s lips. He wanted to cry out, but an uninvited guest barged in and blocked his throat.
After the pain passed, it slowly became pleasurable instead, to the point that even his brain began trembling.
Gradually, Liu Shijing also sank into it, unable to pull herself free. A trace of dazed emptiness appeared in her beautiful eyes, and her fair skin became flushed red as well.
As though wanting to release all the longing buried in her heart, Liu Shijing eventually wrapped the young man tightly in her soft embrace, wishing she could rub him into her very body.
A long while later, they finally parted, a strand of saliva stretching between them.
Liu Shijing’s ample chest rose and fell continuously. This brat… he was practically going to kill her.
“Well? That should be enough proof, right?”
The crowd watching had their hearts shattered beyond repair. Every second they watched felt like blade after blade stabbing into their hearts.
Wuwu… why isn’t there a fair-skinned, beautiful female elder who’d do something like this to me too?!
Quite a few people bit down on their handkerchiefs as tears streamed endlessly from their eyes.
Oh, right. It was probably better not to record this scene with a recording stone, otherwise countless men’s hearts would shatter on the spot.
“Is this proof enough?”
Liu Shijing steadied her breathing and swept her gaze toward Jia Tianfeng.
“Y-Yes, it’s enough.”
Jia Tianfeng no longer dared to say anything. Come on, everyone had just seen it. Liu Shijing had practically wanted to swallow the young man in her arms whole. How could that possibly be fake?
Don’t ask. If you ask, the answer is: the kiss looked extremely real!
***
After the crowd dispersed, Chu Feng and the other two finally found a small path to walk along.
The entire way, all three remained silent.
Liu Xueyao had always been taciturn by nature, while Chu Feng and Liu Shijing were silent because of what had just happened. Liu Shijing found it hard to imagine that earlier, she had behaved like some…
…shameless woman…
“Brat, from now on, don’t call me ‘Senior’ anymore.”
Liu Shijing suddenly spoke up.
“Huh?”
“What do you mean ‘huh’? Your current identity is my dao companion. If you keep calling me ‘Senior’, people will get suspicious. Change the way you address me.”
“Oh, right.”
Chu Feng nodded. If he kept calling her “Senior”, it really would easily arouse suspicion.
“Then… should I call you ‘Wifey’ Senior?”
The word “wifey” drifting from Chu Feng’s mouth into Liu Shijing’s ears instantly made her feel dizzy and flustered inside.
What’s… happening to me?
She pressed a hand against her generous chest. Even through such thick softness, she could still feel her heart pounding wildly, like a startled deer crashing around.
“N-No, absolutely not…”
Liu Shijing originally wanted to reject him firmly, but by the time the words left her lips, her voice had already turned soft and powerless.
Chu Feng blinked. He had figured it out now….the senior’s tsundere personality hadn’t changed at all. Earlier, she had only acted less tsundere to fool everyone else.
“In that case, how about I call you Aunt Jing, Senior?”
Hearing that, Liu Shijing slowly let out a breath. That form of address was acceptable to her.
“Mhm, let’s go with that for now.”
The tips of her ears were bright red.
Liu Xueyao silently watched her aunt and felt that things couldn’t continue like this. Her little aunt was far too unstraightforward.
She didn’t want her aunt to repeat her own mistakes. In her previous life, it was precisely because she had been uncertain about her feelings in the beginning that she had nearly lost her husband.
She wanted to give her aunt a push.
“Husband, has the poison inside your body been cleared out yet?”
Chu Feng had drunk the poisoned wine that sealed the meridians. Although most of it had already been removed by now, there were still some remnants left.
“More or less. In a few more days, it should be completely gone.”
He sensed the circulation of true qi within his body. Though it still wasn’t entirely smooth, it was much better than before.
“Husband can take this.”
Liu Xueyao took out a bottle of pills from her storage pouch and handed it to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng accepted the jade bottle and opened the stopper. Inside were two pills. Bringing the bottle closer, he sniffed it, and the fragrance of the medicine lingered in the air.
Liu Shijing’s delicate nose twitched slightly. Smelling the medicinal fragrance, she asked somewhat suspiciously, “Xueyao, this doesn’t seem like a healing pill, does it?”
Generally speaking, pills with similar effects would have very similar medicinal scents. However, the fragrance from this bottle made Liu Shijing feel that something was off.
“Little Aunt, this was newly refined by Master.”
Liu Xueyao directly invoked her master’s name. The Holy Master of Yaochi was, after all, a grandmaster alchemist.
“I see.”
Liu Shijing did not continue asking further, because she trusted the Holy Master’s skill in alchemy. Besides, she had raised Xueyao since childhood, so there was no way the girl would deceive her.
“Thank you, Saintess Sister.”
Chu Feng was just about to pour out a pill and swallow it when Liu Xueyao immediately stopped him.
“Husband, why not wait until we get back before taking it? This isn’t a suitable place to refine the medicinal effects.”
“That makes sense. Saintess Sister really is thoughtful.”
Chu Feng had almost forgotten that point. After taking medicinal pills, one needed to find a proper place to carefully refine the medicinal effects. This was common for healing pills.
If it were a life-and-death battle where one urgently needed a sudden boost in fighting power, then those kinds of pills could be consumed without refinement, because the surging medicinal force would directly raise your strength.
Refining them instead would cause your strength to return to its previous level, producing the opposite effect.
