The next morning, as the sunlight streamed into the cave dwelling, Chu Feng slowly opened his eyes.
After a full night’s sleep, he felt much better. Though his head was still a bit groggy, and his mouth was incredibly dry.
At that moment, Chu Feng felt something heavy on his body. When he looked closely, he was instantly startled wide awake.
Liu Xueyao and Liu Shijing were both lying beside him. Liu Xueyao was holding his right arm, with his arm completely nestled between her soft curves. Her beautiful eyes were shut tight; it looked like she was still asleep.
Compared to Liu Xueyao, Liu Shijing’s sleeping posture was far less elegant. Her forehead was resting against his neck, pinning down his left arm, while her left hand lay across his chest. Even worse, one of her fair long legs was draped over him, making it impossible for him to get up.
To make matters worse, all three of their clothes were in some disarray. Liu Xueyao and Liu Shijing’s garments had come loose, revealing smooth fair skin beneath.
Chu Feng quickly checked his own clothing. Thankfully….thankfully, his clothes hadn’t been undone. He was terrified that something might have happened under the influence of alcohol. If that were the case, there’d be no explaining his way out of it when they woke up.
He racked his brain, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t recall what had happened at the end of last night.
The current situation was seriously bad. Chu Feng wanted to get up, but Liu Xueyao and Liu Shijing were holding him tightly. Especially Liu Shijing whose long fair leg felt like it weighed a thousand pounds. No matter how much he tried, he couldn’t move it.
This was bad. If Liu Shijing woke up and saw this, given how much she usually disliked him, she might actually chop him to death in a fit of rage.
Fortunately, his right arm which Liu Xueyao was holding wasn’t too tightly restrained. Chu Feng decided to try and slowly ease it out.
Here is the English translation of the next passage, staying faithful to the original meaning and tone:
But just as Chu Feng’s right arm started to move, Liu Xueyao immediately tightened her hold on it. Great…now he was completely stuck.
“Mm~”
Suddenly, Chu Feng heard a soft moan from his left side. It was Liu Shijing!
He quickly shut his eyes, pretending to still be asleep.
Liu Shijing slowly opened her eyes. Damn it…. she’d definitely had the wrong wine last night. That wasn’t Hundred Flower Brew at all. That stuff didn’t have such a strong kick!
As soon as she opened her eyes, she was dumbfounded. She was wrapped around Chu Feng in an incredibly intimate position. And from where she was lying, the first thing she saw was the bite mark she’d left on his neck the night before.
In an instant, Liu Shijing’s brain went blank. What exactly had she done last night?!
As she struggled to remember, bits and pieces came back. That damn brat had gotten lucky, and she’d been annoyed. So she personally went over to feed him wine, kissed him first, and even bit him!
The moment she recalled that, Liu Shijing was overwhelmed with embarrassment. Her pretty face turned bright red. As for what happened after that… she had drunk a bit too much, and couldn’t quite remember.
Wait…. that’s right. She had recording stones.
Liu Shijing quietly waved her hand, and several recording stones hidden in the shadows flew into her storage pouch.
She took a moment to compose herself, then slowly sat up. Only then did she notice that Chu Feng’s face was covered in kiss marks. She couldn’t even tell which ones were hers and which ones were Liu Xueyao’s. Last night, the two of them had definitely gone too wild.
How could she have let her guard down so completely around this brat? Could it be… because of that time they had spent together in the past?
There was no time to think further. All Liu Shijing wanted now was to get away from this place as fast as possible.
After straightening her clothes, she turned into a streak of light and flew off.
Noticing that Liu Shijing had left, Chu Feng quietly opened one eye. After confirming she was really gone, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
He moved his left arm, which had gone numb from being crushed. He had thought Liu Shijing would explode in anger, but unexpectedly, she had left without saying a word.
In that case, only Liu Xueyao was left now.
Just as Chu Feng turned his head, he was startled.
At some point, Liu Xueyao had already opened her beautiful eyes. Unlike the hazy, intoxicated look from the night before, they had returned to their usual cool and serene clarity.
Her cold beautiful eyes silently watched him. Meeting her gaze, Chu Feng forced a calm expression and said, “Good morning, Sister Saintess.”
Liu Xueyao blinked, the corners of her lips lifting slightly as a trace of softness appeared in her eyes.
“Mhm. Good morning, Husband.”
With that, Liu Xueyao let go of him and sat up.
Seeing this, Chu Feng cried out in his heart, “Finally, I’m free!” If he’d been trapped in their arms any longer, his “little Chu Feng” that had already started to rise early might not have been able to hold out much longer.
Liu Xueyao glanced at her husband’s face, which was covered in kiss marks. Even someone as cool and reserved as she couldn’t help but feel a wave of shyness. After all, those marks were left by her. Last night, she had gotten a little carried away and hadn’t controlled herself.
She hadn’t expected that her usually mature and composed aunt would become… quite bold too.
In fact, she had been the first to wake up. When she saw the scene before her, she was also momentarily stunned.
Especially with how Aunt was holding her husband in such an intimate position….it was hard to believe this was the same Aunt who usually didn’t spare men a glance.
Still, she didn’t choose to wake up her husband and Aunt. Instead, she closed her eyes again and pretended to sleep, wanting to linger a little longer in her husband’s embrace.
Then came the moment when Chu Feng woke up, followed by Liu Shijing.
It wasn’t until Liu Shijing left that Liu Xueyao finally opened her eyes.
Chu Feng didn’t bring up what had happened the night before, and Liu Xueyao also remained silent. Instead, she began her daily routine of preparing medicine.
In fact, for several days afterward, Chu Feng didn’t see any sign of Liu Shijing. It seemed that what had happened that night had been too much of a shock for her.
That was just as well. Chu Feng felt a sense of relief.
However, some things as time passes can ferment like wine. The longer they settle, the richer and more intoxicating they become.
***
Outer Sect, Yaoshi Sacred Land.
After several days of rest in the Outer Sect, Chu Feng had grown bored. From time to time, he would head out for a walk to relieve the monotony.
Because this was the Outer Sect, where male disciples were more common, he didn’t need to be as cautious as he was in the core area, constantly worried about being seen.
But today, Chu Feng encountered something strange.
Chu Feng brought his fishing rod to the spot where he had baited the water the night before, ready to enjoy a good round of fishing.
He set up his small stool, baited the hook, and cast the line in one smooth motion.
But before he could catch a fish, he ended up catching a person instead.
At first, he thought it was just a passerby. But to his surprise, the person walked up to him and rasped, “The Heavenly King covers the tiger!”
Chu Feng froze for a moment, then slowly replied, “Uh… little chicken stewed with mushrooms.”
He had meant to say, “The Pagoda suppresses the river demon,” but he spoke too quickly and blurted out “little chicken stewed with mushrooms” instead. Still, it wasn’t a big deal. He figured the guy probably wouldn’t get the reference anyway.
But who was this person? They were wrapped up tightly from head to toe, with only their eyes exposed. Anyone who didn’t know better would think they were some kind of bandit….though this was broad daylight.
“Little brother greets Big Brother!”
Suddenly, the person in front of him gave Chu Feng a bow.
Now it was Chu Feng’s turn to be stunned. What was going on?
He’d somehow picked up a little brother without even realizing it?!
“Ah, no need to be so formal.”
Chu Feng waved his hand, thinking, could this guy be deep into some kind of roleplay? In plain terms, a chuunibyou. He got that. After all, every man goes through a chuunibyou phase. He had too.
Like when he used to form a cross with his hands and pretend to shoot lasers while going “zzzz” or when he’d find a good sturdy stick and make all the rapeseed flowers in the village bow their heads as he passed.
Or maybe… this person in front of him was just plain crazy.
“Big Brother, the plan is all set. Now, we just have to wait for the Saintess to fall into the trap.”
“Got it. The Saintess… huh?!”
Chu Feng hadn’t intended to pay any more attention to the man. He just wanted to focus on his fishing. But the man’s words shocked him. The Saintess? Fall into a trap?!
It sounded like… he had just overheard a serious conspiracy.
In the end, he didn’t catch any fish, but he had hooked a shocking scheme instead!
