"Are you really not going to give it to me?"
The autumn leaves of the lush tree rustled as Xiao Yinruo, sitting to the side, frowned at the chessboard, hesitantly placing a white piece.
Pei Wanyu chuckled softly, "Qingmiao Palace follows the Supreme Forget Love path, acting with affection but without being moved by it. She is, after all, the Holy Daughter you personally trained..."
She placed her piece lightly, "Now you want me to present a betrothal gift on behalf of my apprentice? Aren’t you afraid of ruining that girl’s Forget Love Path?"
Xiao Yinruo glanced at the elegant woman across from her, lazily dressed in purple, "Nanzhi is different from others. Marrying her to Lu Jin’an would only advance her Forget Love Path, so..."
"It’s your turn." Pei Wanyu interrupted her, "I won’t give it."
Xiao Yinruo looked at the chessboard, images of the ’creepy’ scene in Nanzhi’s room surfacing in her mind, "Nanzhi really likes him. If she can’t have him, she might do something unpredictable. I’m afraid you’ll regret it later."
Listening to Xiao Yinruo, Pei Wanyu chuckled nonchalantly, "Is there any way she could harm Jin’an? Besides, dealing with Qingyue alone is already a headache, so having another won’t make a difference."
She thought of Qingyue’s recent frequent thefts of Jin’an’s underpants, feeling helpless. How did it turn out ?
As she placed her piece, Xiao Yinruo said, "You don’t understand how much Nanzhi likes him. You saw how crazy she was about Qingyue before, didn’t you?"
"And you don’t understand Qingyue’s feelings for him, and they got along well afterwards, didn’t they?" Pei Wanyu smirked, suggesting, "How about this: Qingyue becomes the primary wife, Nanzhi the secondary, and I’ll agree to it."
"No way!" Xiao Yinruo snorted, "Nanzhi has already spent the wedding night with him, why should she be the secondary?"
"Qingyue is his childhood sweetheart!" Pei Wanyu argued as she played her piece.
"Nanzhi has already spent the wedding night with him!"
"Nanzhi has already spent the wedding night with him!" Xiao Yinruo cut off Pei Wanyu.
Pei Wanyu took a deep breath, thinking her defenses for Qingyue were powerless against those two words, ’wedding night.’
Seeing her at a loss, Xiao Yinruo couldn’t help but chuckle triumphantly, "It’s your turn."
Pei Wanyu huffed, picking up a chess piece and moving to place it in an empty spot on the board. Mid-action, she let out a soft exclamation, causing the black piece to drop elsewhere.
"If you can’t argue with me, at least hold onto your chess piece. No regrets once you place it..." Xiao Yinruo laughed, looking up at Pei Wanyu, "You’ve lost this game... what’s with your expression?"
In her line of sight, Pei Wanyu’s brows furrowed slightly, her already alluring face looked even more captivating with flushed cheeks and slightly rapid breaths.
Xiao Yinruo clicked her tongue, "What, are you at that age of lust too?"
"Yes." Pei Wanyu adjusted her breathing, her watery eyes glancing at Xiao Yinruo, "I’ve also found a little man I care about."
"Ha ha." Xiao Yinruo didn’t believe her nonsense, "All these years, the only man you’ve come across is your apprentice. So, you’re lustful for the disciple you raised? Competing with your daughter for a man?"
"You guessed it?" Pei Wanyu looked at Xiao Yinruo with a bemused expression, "You old virgin understand me rather well."
"We’re the same." Xiao Yinruo, not one to acknowledge her words, prompted after making her move, "Your turn, let’s see how you win this game."
Pei Wanyu pursed her red lips, the beauty mark on her lower lip appearing more seductive in the dappled light and shadow. Her gaze turned slightly complicated as she played her piece and concealed a spell behind her back, stealthy black feathers disappearing into the void.
’This rebellious disciple!’
Pei Wanyu gritted her teeth, having anticipated that after Zhu Nanzhi’s arrival, her good disciple would likely sneak away for a rendezvous with Nanzhi.
She mused, she’d turn a blind eye when the time came. After all, teasing her good disciple several times, she noticed the intense desire in his eyes.
Although the Heart Clarity Spell was available, her good disciple’s yang energy had surged after the Nine Stars Body Tempering, and holding it in wasn’t the solution.
Plus, though Nanzhi was his fake wife in their sham marriage, she was still a girl with a clean background, so it was okay.
But... couldn’t they wait until evening? Did they have to be so bold in Cuiqing Inn at high noon!?
Pei Wanyu unobtrusively glanced towards the direction of Cuiqing Inn, feeling utterly speechless.
She was exasperated not only with the young couple but also with her own good ’daughter.’ Others were practically raiding her home under her nose, yet she sat idly by in her room?
’Qingyue, Qingyue, if you’re not attentive, do you expect others to be?’
With a sigh, Pei Wanyu lamented silently. Were it not for her good disciple’s insufficient cultivation, she wouldn’t have relinquished Zhu Nanzhi to that girl...
In the bedroom of Cuiqing Inn.
The noon sunlight streamed through the intricately designed pearl window, perfectly bathing Lu Jin’an, standing by the bed, in its glow.
In the diurnal warmth, he held his arms out as his belt, trousers... gradually slid down.
Lu Jin’an looked down, his gaze unwavering as the white silk jade foot lightly brushed against his skin like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Nanzhi’s delicate jade feet were exquisitely shaped, with slender and bony ankles, smooth foot arches, and rounded heels with arching soles.
Her five rounded jade toes were delicate and charming, exuding a perfect lustrous beauty, enticingly peeking through the sheer silk stockings, silently urging a bite.
Unable to help himself, Lu Jin’an complimented, especially as the jade toes flexed slightly, gripping the edge of his clothing, causing the white silk to tighten, exuding a purity tainted with sensuality.
He felt his heartbeat quickening, his gaze drawn down along the jade foot, sweeping past her long, taut calves before resting on her plump and proportionate thighs.
The over-knee white silk, with its faint floral patterns, left a fine indent on her rounded thighs, with a subtle red mark faintly visible on her flawless white skin.
"Just as I expected." Lu Jin’an smiled at Zhu Nanzhi, "Innate White Silk Sacred Body."
Zhu Nanzhi, supporting herself on the bed with both hands, let out a coquettish hum, her cheeks flushed, her eyes misty, occasionally glancing at Lu Jin’an’s partially open shirt.
During their time in the Nanzhuo Domain, she had experienced it but never closely scrutinized it.
Now just seeing it, coupled with over a month’s longing, made Zhu Nanzhi feel her body going limp.
Her parting lips exhaled fragrant breaths, her hands gripping the sheets tighter, her leg wrapped in white silk seemingly trembling slightly from ’slipping thoughts.’
’Almost there, just one more piece of clothing...’
With a restrained breath, Zhu Nanzhi adjusted her mindset, inching her hips closer to the bed’s edge, raising her white silk jade feet higher, lightly pinching her husband’s shirt edge at his chest.
The thin white silk revealed her adorable jade toes, and the motion of tugging at his shirt stretched the silk tight, curving her toes in a crescent-like arc, adding a touch of sensual allure.
Lu Jin’an released his arms, the last inner layer slipping to the floor, leaving him bare to Zhu Nanzhi’s eyes.
Having achieved her goal, Zhu Nanzhi exhaled a long breath, lowering her gently trembling white silk jade leg, smiling at Lu Jin’an, "Husband~ take off your shoes yourself~"
Lu Jin’an didn’t refuse, bending over to remove his shoes, and as he straightened, felt soft hair lightly brush his shoulder, coming into his line of sight as he stood.
Looking up, Zhu Nanzhi was already kneeling by the bed, her azure eyes watery and looking straight at him.
She lifted her head, "Senior Mu only measured, right?"
"Yes." Lu Jin’an didn’t deny it.
"Hmph!" Zhu Nanzhi snorted, "I want to, too, and..."
As she reached out, leaning forward, the lipstick from earlier kisses, now slightly faded, marked her affirmation.
She looked up at the somewhat surprised Lu Jin’an, her smile incredibly captivating.
"I... can do better!"
