Chen Ye’s sharp eyes saw through it, and his heart understood.
This big dumpling was clearly praying silently for Qing Jun.
Perhaps praying for him too, otherwise why so shy?
"Sister Qingzhu... I heard that if a cultivator practices yin-yang, the best way is to transfer qi through the mouth."
Chen Ye’s eyes intensely focused on her lips, which were slightly pursed from nervousness.
The color of those lips was a faint cherry pink, now glistening like the petals bathed in morning dew.
Mao Qingzhu initially pondered seriously: "No, actually it’s through..."
Just as she was about to say it, her pretty face flushed a light red.
How could she possibly bring herself to say it!
"Then... Sister Qingzhu, do you mean... that’s not the case?" Chen Ye feigned confusion, his large hand rubbing her soft waist.
Mao Qingzhu’s cheeks burned, wanting to deny it, wanting to push him away, wanting to maintain a last bit of reserve.
But... but these days.
Brother Ye firmly believed in the sweet lies she had once told him, continuously seeking her several times for cultivation...
If it weren’t for her, how could Brother Ye have been deceived?
Leading to now, being unable to stop once started.
Especially that most shameful time, she was held in Brother Ye’s arms, her legs spread apart by his knee.
Thinking back to that day.
Mao Qingzhu was so ashamed she wished the ground would swallow her up, she pushed against Chen Ye’s chest, pleading, "Brother Ye... stop... Xiaoli is still outside..."
"She’s clever, knows when she should disappear." Chen Ye chuckled lowly. "Just like last time, she knew to guard the door..."
"You... don’t mention that day!" The beauty in white instantly blushed, even her neck was dusted with a layer of pink.
"Alright, I won’t mention it."
Chen Ye readily agreed, his gaze growing hotter, sliding down her flushed neckline.
Under the moon-white gauze, her rich curves slightly heaved with her nervous breathing, captivating anyone who gazed upon them.
However,
now is not the time to go too far; being greedy and reckless will only drive the beauty away.
"Sister Qingzhu, let’s continue cultivating then..." Chen Ye said in a low voice.
"Brother Ye... you... uh..." She opened her mouth, but only a barely audible sound escaped.
The rest of the words were completely blocked back.
Mao Qingzhu’s breath stalled, her mind went blank, leaving only the unfamiliar burning sensation.
Her taut body instinctively wanted to retract, but was held firmly in place by Chen Ye’s arms around her waist.
That strong arm cut off all her escape routes, draining her last bit of resistance.
A muffled whimper was swallowed back by herself, her long lashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and resignedly closed.
...
"Ugh... they’ve started again!"
The round-faced maid sat idly on the doorstep, her ears perked up.
Listening to the sounds inside that made one’s face flush, her petite legs couldn’t help but rub against each other.
"Isn’t... isn’t this just a man? How come Miss has been stuck to him these days, and not keeping me company?"
She bit her teeth secretly, but what she felt more was curiosity.
In Divine Mist Valley, strictly speaking, Chen Ye might be the only man.
As for Mao Cheng, one had injured fundamentals, plus typically never showed up.
From a young age, Xiaoli only saw men when she went out with the miss, so her curiosity was understandable.
"Xiaoli! I’m here to play with Aunt Mao again!"
From afar, a silver-haired girl could be seen waving at her.
Xiaoli became alert, thought secretly: "Qing Jun is here? Cannot let her see..."
She displayed a smiling face, warmly taking Qing Jun’s small hand: "Little Miss, Miss’s body isn’t feeling well today, she’s resting, it’s better not to disturb her."
"Oh..."
Qing Jun was a bit disappointed, she wanted to eat Aunt Mao’s pastries.
Lately, her bad master had been busy cultivating every day, not even cooking for their master and sisters, only Aunt Mao would change up the dishes to make delicious food.
The little girl glanced at the bamboo house, muttering:
"But why do I smell master’s scent?"
Even that you can smell?
Xiaoli was dumbfounded, she quickly followed up: "Your master came here to find you earlier, didn’t see you and left, who knows where he went, maybe he’s discussing with the family head, or went to soak in Yangquan, why don’t you look around?"
Qing Jun pinched her chin and seriously thought: "Master is resting now, how could he be playing around? He should have gone home..."
Thinking this, she got excited again: "Hehe, I didn’t expect Master would come looking for Qing Jun. See you, Xiaoli, I’m going back to find Master to play. Lying master! Clearly, you said you’d teach me something new..."
"This... alright then."
Xiaoli secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Qing Jun didn’t break in on them.
She didn’t think too much, just thought the scene wasn’t suitable for Qing Jun to see.
As for inside the house.
Chen Ye heard the commotion outside and withdrew his hands just in time.
He felt a headache.
Those two disciples, every time they ruin master’s enjoyment!
Chen Ye stroked the dark hair of the beauty in his arms, suddenly asked:
"Sister Qingzhu, did you find out anything about the Emotion Crossing Seed I asked you to investigate last time?"
Mao Qingzhu bit her lip, angrily pushed Chen Ye away.
She gathered herself and tidied her clothes, wiping her lips, she explained:
"Mm... the Emotion Crossing Seed, is a secret technique planted by demon cultivators in the cultivator’s divine soul. It usually can only control a qi cultivating cultivator. Your friend was probably planted with it while in qi cultivation, then reached Foundation Establishment. That demon cultivator wouldn’t willingly give up this Foundation Establishment piece. His life is not in danger, rest assured."
Following that, she explained more characteristics about the Emotion Crossing Seed.
Chen Ye slightly relaxed.
He had a deep friendship with Hee Qi, usually traveled a lot for the sake of the Emotion Crossing Seed.
While in the sect, he had gone through related records.
Now comparing it to Mao Qingzhu’s words, he was somewhat confident: "Emotion Crossing Seed, planted in the divine soul. Not easily removed, only by severing it to survive..."
"Mm. You must, with lightning speed, cut away part of the divine soul where the Emotion Crossing Seed is planted. If you cut too slowly, the Demon Cultivator of the Emotion Crossing Sect will detect it immediately and thus kill him."
