There was something to be said.
Although Xu Wendong had many female confidants,
none of them had begged him to indulge them like Pingliang Xiangzhi did.
His female friends would usually just push him down; calling it a "forceful advance" wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
But Pingliang Xiangzhi was exceptionally polite.
As a playboy, Xu Wendong still had principles.
No initiative, no rejection, no responsibility—that was his bottom line.
He wore an awkward expression and gently said, "Thank you, Miss Kaori, for your affection, but we just met and don’t really know each other."
Pingliang Xiangzhi, suppressing her inner tension and shyness, glided around from Xu Wendong’s back like a soft, slippery spirit snake to his front.
Her face was flushed like a ripe peach, looking tender and enticing, making one’s mouth water.
Glistening water droplets were like gems adorning her face as she kneeled atop Xu Wendong, her ample curves submerged and only faintly visible.
Especially with her shy yet nervous expression, it had a huge impact on Xu Wendong, making it hard for him to bear.
Because he could feel the softness of Pingliang Xiangzhi’s skin.
And he could smell a faint, delicate maiden scent on her.
"Kaori does not deny that she just met Mr. Yanagida, but that doesn’t change the fact that Mr. Yanagida saved Kaori’s life." Pingliang Xiangzhi’s evasive eyes carried a mysterious firmness: "Even though Kaori and Mr. Yanagida don’t know each other well, isn’t this a perfect chance to get to know each other better?"
Xu Wendong nearly spat out blood.
A Wa Country woman actually understood the phrase "get to know each other."
This was really something to write home about.
Before he could react, he distinctly felt a soft hand in the hot spring grasp him, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
At that moment, he inexplicably felt like he was going to suffocate.
"Mr. Yanagida, you are clearly interested in Kaori, so why are you unwilling to admit your feelings?" Pingliang Xiangzhi blushed.
Although she was shocked by Xu Wendong’s impressive assets, her heart was delighted because she knew Xu Wendong was interested in her; otherwise, he wouldn’t have reacted.
"I feel a bit unwell, I’ll just go to the restroom!" Xu Wendong desperately wished he could find a hole to crawl into and fled the hot spring, heading to the restroom.
He really wanted to relax.
There was nothing he could do; because of cultivating the Dragon Phoenix Creation Technique, his desire for women was intense.
Especially after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, this desire had multiplied several times compared to before.
Facing a woman from Wa Country, he really didn’t want to go forward.
Helplessly, Xu Wendong called Qingluan: "Are you able to come to Toyama Prefecture now?"
Qingluan’s lazy voice came through: "What for?"
Xu Wendong rolled his eyes, "To do you!"
"Oh!" Qingluan suddenly showed interest, "So the wise Master Xu has his mind clouded by lust, huh? But even if I go now, it’ll take several hours by car; are you sure you can wait that long?"
Her voice had a hint of schadenfreude, making Xu Wendong’s teeth itch, secretly resolving that the next time they met, he would make her beg for mercy no matter what.
Qingluan continued, "They say distant water can’t quench a present thirst—if I were you, I’d find a few Wa Country girls to vent your frustrations, show them the vigor of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and call it revenge!"
Xu Wendong wore a puzzled expression.
Clearly, he didn’t expect Qingluan would say something like that.
Then, Qingluan’s voice came through again from the phone in a tone of helplessness: "Well, actually, I miss you too."
"I long for your broad chest, your hardness like iron, and your passion like fire. I want to be filled by you and let you freely enter my body."
"But we’re just too far apart now!"
"Besides, Yamato Kendo Hall has already launched a ferocious attack on the other two Martial Arts Halls."
"By dawn at the latest, the Wa Country warrior faction will have been completely reshuffled, so I have to keep a close watch here and can’t leave."
Xu Wendong’s eyes lit up.
He hadn’t expected Yamato Kendo Hall to launch such a vigorous offensive against the other two Martial Arts Halls.
This really was beyond his expectations.
But on second thought, it made sense.
With his daughter suffering successive attacks, as a father, how could he remain indifferent?
Even if the real perpetrator wasn’t the other two Martial Arts Halls.
But that didn’t matter anymore.
What mattered was Yano Yamato insisting they were involved, and that was enough.
After a few casual exchanges, Xu Wendong hung up the phone, tucked his phone into the Minor World, took a cold shower, and then stepped out of the restroom.
After the previous conversation, his heart calmed down, extinguishing the desires burning within him, without any lingering thoughts of love.
He was now more focused on planning his upcoming trip to Wa Country.
If Yamato Kendo Hall truly managed to dominate the Wa Country warrior faction, he could use a secret technique to control Yano Yamato’s Divine Soul, making him his puppet.
This would give him absolute confidence in combating the ninja forces.
"Mr. Yanagida, it’s getting late; we should go to bed early!"
Just as he walked out of the restroom, Xu Wendong saw Pingliang Xiangzhi kneeling by the bed in a pink kimono, giving a gentle and demure impression.
Her long hair was coiled at the back of her head, with a wooden hairpin placed in it.
She looked elegant and graceful.
The glimpse of skin peeking from the neckline made Xu Wendong feel offended.
I worked hard to extinguish the fire within, and you appear in front of me dressed , even suggesting we sleep together?
Is this how you repay your savior?
You’re forcing me to make mistakes!
Though he felt a bit annoyed, Xu Wendong still said, "Miss Kaori, perhaps I should sleep in the room next door instead!"
As soon as he said this, tears welled up in Pingliang Xiangzhi’s eyes, a mix of helplessness and anxiety: "Did Kaori upset Mr. Yanagida? Why doesn’t Mr. Yanagida want to sleep with Kaori anymore?"
Xu Wendong awkwardly replied, "Yes, last night we indeed slept together, but that was out of necessity! Tonight’s different; there’s another room next door, so there’s no need for us to continue sharing a bed."
Had he known that sleeping together last night would lead to this clinginess, he definitely wouldn’t have shared a bed with Pingliang Xiangzhi.
"I know there’s another room next door, but what if bad people attack Kaori at night?" Pingliang Xiangzhi looked at Xu Wendong with clear eyes full of unease, giving off a pitiful and helpless aura.
This helpless gaze directly shattered Xu Wendong’s [resolve], and he ultimately chose to compromise, reluctantly saying, "Fine, we can sleep together, but Miss Kaori mustn’t do anything that would trouble me!"
Pingliang Xiangzhi nodded excitedly, as long as they could share a bed, knowing each other intimately was only a matter of time.
