Chapter 119 99. All bad plans and the soon-to-be-suffering Xu Yuan_2
Xu Yuan was momentarily stunned, then showed a moved expression.
Although he was in a terrible mood,
he had never expected that the Tower Master of Heavenly Machine Tower, of all people, would be so foolishly in love, to the point of risking her life.
"Sorry, I must have held up something important for you."
Chu Bingyan hung her head low, clearly having intended to question Xu Yuan about his younger martial sister just moments before.
But somehow, it had turned into her asking for his forgiveness.
"It's fine, I don't blame you."
Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head, then seemingly offhand he said,
"Speaking of which, were you just thinking about something?"
"..."
Chu Bingyan's fair face instantly flushed at a visible speed.
"Yes, that's right."
Her legs squeezed together slightly, and it almost seemed as if she had begun to rub them together, her head bowed without a word.
"I, I was thinking about what happened the night before last."
Xu Yuan almost gasped in shock.
Now he finally understood why Lin Qingque had been so furious.
But did she think those were the other party's fantasies? Or did she believe it was real?
If it was the former, then indeed, as she had said, she was merely trying to test him.
If it was the latter...
Xu Yuan felt a chill in his heart.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Bingyan asked with curiosity.
"My younger martial sister, she has the Mind Reading Technique."
Xu Yuan said with a wry smile.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Ah? Isn't that terrible?!"
Chu Bingyan covered her mouth, her cheeks as rosy as the sunset at the horizon.
"Indeed."
"It's fine, really."
Chu Bingyan, recalling the words she had deliberately said out of jealousy after seeing the two of them in an intimate position, shrank her neck and spoke softly, "At worst, when she's around, I'll just keep my distance."
"..."
Her idea was good, and under normal circumstances, another woman might have accepted it.
Unfortunately, Lin Qingque was not that kind of person.
Xu Yuan said, "Don't worry, leave it to me to handle. Speaking of which, when you left so hastily last time, it seems we never got around to exchanging contact information."
He didn't want such an incident to happen again.
"This is the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror."
Before he could finish his sentence, Chu Bingyan had already drawn out a mirror as if she was prepared, and handed it to him.
"As long as you infuse it with Spiritual Power, I'll be alerted on my end. Even if we are thousands of miles apart, we can still meet."
Having said that, Chu Bingyan seemed to realize she had been a bit too eager, her face blushing as she looked down.
"Well then, I'll accept it."
After Xu Yuan tucked away the mirror, he finally felt a weight lifted from his heart.
With this mirror, it would be much more convenient for him to ask Chu Bingyan to do something in the future.
Compared to Lin Qingque and her group, Chu Bingyan's temperament was undoubtedly much gentler.
However, he still needed to be mindful of her. Otherwise, if another disaster like this one were to brew, it would be troublesome.
"Actually,"
Chu Bingyan suddenly spoke up, "besides worrying about your safety, there's another reason I came to see you."
"Oh?"
Xu Yuan frowned, feeling unease, as if this reason wouldn't be anything positive.
"What is it?"
"It's just that."
Chu Bingyan's face turned even redder than before, her lowered head almost touching the ground.
"?"
Xu Yuan grew even more puzzled.
"I always feel that the... the aftereffects from last time haven't dissipated."
Chu Bingyan uttered these words hesitantly, her slender waist twisting restlessly.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan roughly understood why she had been stuttering.
Yet, in such a situation, she was still thinking about that—it was quite thirsty of her.
'Or is it...'
Xu Yuan recalled the description of the Yang Charm Demon Body.
Was it the effect of the plain porridge?
By the time he returned to his senses, Chu Bingyan had already thrown herself into his embrace, her pretty face blushing, her breath heavy.
"Xu Yuan, I..."
Chu Bingyan's eyes were hazy, her body leaning forward, a full softness descending.
"I don't know what I'm doing, sorry."
The more she breathed in the scent coming from him, the hotter and more restless Chu Bingyan felt, and her mind became increasingly unclear.
What appeared before her were the rough ways he had treated her that night; although it had hurt her to the point of trembling, with every recollection thereafter, she found herself strangely enamored with that feeling.
Chu Bingyan tightly wrapped her arms around him, her legs starting to shake uncontrollably.
"Bingyan."
Xu Yuan shook his head, trying to push her away.
He wasn't driven by lust. In this situation, if he were truly to do 'that' with Chu Bingyan, no matter if Lin Qingque or Jing Lixue walked in on them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although for the sake of Heavenly Machine Tower, he indeed could engage in Dual Cultivation with Chu Bingyan, this place, this time—it just wasn't suitable.
After all, the two of them were likely to return soon.
"I... understand."
Chu Bingyan lowered her head in disappointment, but her hands showed no signs of stopping.
"I, I can endure it, but..."
Chu Bingyan, biting her teeth, lifted a corner of her pale blue fairy dress, took hold of his hand, and led it towards her.
"Help me just this once."
...
"Splish splash—"
The previously calm lake surface was now filled with the sound of surging water.
Lin Qingque followed Jing Lixue to a turning point above the waterside pavilion and corridor, gazing at her otherworldly beauty, she spoke lightly, "You've brought me here, what do you want to say?"
