Chapter 378 365: "Master, Yueqiu's Bed Is as Warm as the Master's Wife's
Night.
Pei Yuhang knocked on his Dao Companion's door.
"Liyuan, just let me in..."
"Didn't Ah Han say he needed to focus on his Cultivation? Women will only affect Ah Han's sword arm, so Ah Han should just stay in the courtyard and pursue Enlightenment Dao!"
Ye Liyuan's sullen voice came from inside the room, making Pei Yuhang sigh helplessly.
Just then, a tall figure in white robes appeared at the courtyard gate.
"Ah, Yueqiu. What brings you here so late?"
Pei Yuhang greeted his head disciple.
"It's nothing. I just couldn't sleep and am used to walking around the estate... Master, did Mistress lock you out again?"
"..."
Hearing his disciple say "again," Pei Yuhang felt a pang in his heart.
Just as the Peng Sword Immortal was pondering what excuse he could make to restore his magnificent image in his disciple's eyes...
Qing Yueqiu tucked her silver hair behind her ear, glanced at her mistress's tightly shut door, and a certain expectation flashed in her crimson eyes.
"Master, you can come to my room tonight."
"Yueqiu's room and bed... are just as warm as Mistress's."
As the silver-haired girl spoke, she boldly grabbed Pei Yuhang's wrist.
THUMP-THUMP-THUMP—
Her heart began to pound.
But she couldn't pull Pei Yuhang along.
Qing Yueqiu looked at him, her eyes tinged with confusion.
'Master, why won't you come with me?'
Pei Yuhang smiled faintly and gently stroked Yueqiu's head.
"Alright, Yueqiu, I'll come find you in the future... but not tonight."
"I've made your mistress angry, so I have to placate her. If I went to your room now... it would be disrespectful to both you and her."
"Yueqiu, can you wait for me patiently?"
Qing Yueqiu pursed her lips, then nodded.
"As long as Master still thinks of Yueqiu, then Yueqiu will wait forever."
"Because... I am already yours."
Qing Yueqiu's fingertips brushed over her lower abdomen, a blissful smile appearing on her pretty face.
...
...
Fairy Ye had been determined to keep the Peng Sword Immortal locked out, but the soft-hearted Ye Liyuan ultimately couldn't resist Pei Yuhang's persistent pleading and sweet nothings, finally letting him in.
The moment Pei Yuhang entered the room, he dropped his gentle facade. Laughing like a big bad wolf, "JIEH JIEH JIEH," he grabbed a little white rabbit costume and moved to put it on Fairy Ye.
"You villain! I knew I shouldn't have let you in!"
Ye Liyuan clutched her sleeves and retreated again and again, only for the wicked Ah Han to hook an arm around her waist and press her down before the dressing table.
The Copper Mirror reflected her flustered and annoyed expression. Her almond eyes shimmered with moisture, and the fluffy rabbit ears she was forced to wear trembled as she shook her head, making her truly resemble a ruffled snow-white rabbit.
Just when Ye Liyuan thought the little dress-up game was over...
"Liyuan, little rabbits don't just have ears, you know."
Pei Yuhang chuckled lowly, taking out a tail accessory adorned with a snow-white pom-pom.
This startled Fairy Ye so much that she clutched the hem of her skirt and tried to flee toward the door. "You brute!"
"The tail... No, not the tail!"
However, Fairy Ye was ultimately unable to escape the Peng Sword Immortal's grasp. He caught her by the waist and pressed her down into his lap.
"It's not up to you anymore, Xiao Liyuan~"
He took her reddened earlobe into his mouth, watching with satisfaction as the woman in his arms trembled all over.
Ye Liyuan let out a soft "yphm" and went limp, burying her pretty face in his shoulder. The rabbit ears in her hair drooped listlessly, like a small animal that had accepted its fate.
Outside the window, the epiphyllum flowers bloomed silently, concealing the room full of amorous spring scenery.
...
After the Dao Companions' bedroom fun had ended, Fairy Ye curled up lazily in Pei Yuhang's arms. The blush had yet to fade from her fair cheeks, making her as lovely as a peach blossom in the third month.
After a long period of medicinal treatment, coupled with the reconstruction of her Dao Heart and a breakthrough in her Cultivation, Fairy Ye's problem with finishing too early had greatly improved. Her life as Pei Yuhang's Dao Companion was now quite healthy.
She scratched Pei Yuhang's ear, a delighted look on her face as she sought praise.
"Ah Han, aren't I amazing now!"
Pei Yuhang brushed away the stray hairs plastered to her forehead with fragrant sweat and placed a kiss on her smooth brow.
"Mm, Liyuan, you're incredible. I believe you'll soon catch up to..."
Ye Liyuan felt something was off. Her brows twitched, and she looked at Pei Yuhang in confusion.
"Catch up? Catch up to what?"
Pei Yuhang's heart sank. He realized he'd been too relaxed and had almost let it slip.
Fortunately, the Peng Sword Immortal was experienced in such situations. Having been tempered by many a Beauty Fairy, he had nerves of steel. He feigned composure, curved his lips into a smile, and suddenly flipped her over, pinning her beneath him.
He reached out to tickle his Dao Companion's lower back and tease her neck.
Those were his Dao Companion's sensitive spots.
"Catch up to your husband's techniques, of course—"
"Ah, Ah Han, you're being wicked again!"
Ye Liyuan was immediately reduced to coquettish whimpers, her cries of surprise turning into soft, fragmented gasps. Tears welled in the corners of her eyes, and her pale toes curled and uncurled against the bedding. Her earlier suspicions were scattered to the winds.
After the two Dao Companions finished their playful teasing, Pei Yuhang gently stroked her smooth, trembling back and said in a low voice:
"Liyuan, I'm going to attempt a Breakthrough Realm to Void Refining tomorrow."
'Breakthrough to Void Refining?!'
The smile on Ye Liyuan's pretty face froze. The thought of that bloody lightning made her pupils contract violently. The color drained from her face, leaving even her lips pale.
"Liyuan, relax. It's all in the past."
Pei Yuhang thought his Dao Companion was having another bout of her Celestial Tribulation post-traumatic stress, and reached out to transfer some warm Pure Yang True Qi to calm her mind.
But Ye Liyuan waved her hand, signaling that she was fine.
"Ah Han, I've already overcome the Celestial Tribulation, I'm fine— It's just, you're already attempting a Breakthrough Realm to Void Refining tomorrow? Why so soon?"
"What, are you not happy that your Dao Companion is having an early Breakthrough Realm, Liyuan?"
Pei Yuhang stroked his Dao Companion's hair and teased.
"It's not that I'm not happy, it's just—"
"Alright, Liyuan. I know you're just worried about me, but nothing will happen to me."
"On this point, I can give you my word."
Ye Liyuan stared blankly at Pei Yuhang, finally nodding and letting out a soft "mm."
...
...
「The next day, just before dawn.」
Pei Yuhang slowly opened his eyes. The morning light filtered through the window screen, casting fragmented shadows on his handsome face.
He had now adjusted the qi of his body and spirit to their optimal state. Everything was ready.
He turned his head to look at the Dao Companion curled up in his arms. Her sleeping face was serene, her long eyelashes casting faint shadows on her porcelain-white skin, her cherry lips slightly pursed.
This beautiful scene sent gentle ripples through Pei Yuhang's eyes. He leaned down and kissed her on the forehead.
"Wait for me to come back, Liyuan."
"I will go further, for the sake of protecting you."
Pei Yuhang spoke softly, then quietly dressed and left.
After the soft click of the closing door, Ye Liyuan slowly opened her eyes.
There wasn't a trace of sleepiness in those autumn-water eyes, only an unshakeable melancholy.
Ye Liyuan bit her lower lip and sat up, the silk brocade quilt slipping from her shoulders to reveal her slender, fragrant shoulders.
'I'm... still so weak. I can't help him at all. I can't even stand guard for Ah Han, as I would only cause him to suffer a Divine Split.'
A single, clear teardrop slid silently down, spreading into a dark stain on the brocade quilt.
After a long moment, Ye Liyuan took a deep breath and put on an outer robe, covering her flawless body.
She stepped barefoot onto the cold floor, opened the window, and gazed at the distant figure disappearing on the horizon via Sword Control.
Ye Liyuan put her hands together and prayed silently for Ah Han.
She hoped that by having encountered the Blood Evil Tribulation Thunder and nearly dying, she had already shouldered all the future misfortune for both of them, her and her Dao Companion.
'If I've shouldered the misfortune, then Ah Han should be able to pass through smoothly, right?'
