Chapter 60: Soul Returning Mushroom (III)

A hot breath wrapped around a faint body fragrance and spread around, causing a tingling sensation to spread to the heart.

Sui Ning’s head felt dizzy, sensing that Xie Changzhou’s cool body was getting hotter and hotter. She still had her senses and struggled to turn her head, burying it in his neck.

Xie Changzhou’s light, cold fragrance became more intense because of the emotional stirrings. His breathing became a bit heavy, and his breath pouring into her ear was like a rush.

Sui Ning kissed him and gently advised him with a soft voice, “Don’t kiss me. Jianzun’s body isn’t feeling well, right?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she could clearly feel Xie Changzhou’s breathing becoming even more heavy and rapid, his breath becoming hot, and the strength of his hand holding her waist tightening.

His voice was hot and hoarse, whispering softly, “Ningning…”

Sui Ning couldn’t help but laugh out loud and look up at him. She was sitting on his lap, just able to look at him directly. Her clear eyes were fixed firmly on his slightly red face.

Xie Changzhou’s gaze dodged, almost afraid to look at her. The two of them were too close. Sui Ning could sense all of his unusual reactions very clearly.

Sui Ning said, “I like it very much. No matter what you do, I like it.”

Xie Changzhou felt his body becoming more and more restless, with his spiritual energy surging in his dantian as if it were about to explode. But he didn’t know what to do or how to relieve it.

“Ningning, don’t tease me…”

He had a hoarse and deep voice, his forehead resting on her neck. He felt so uncomfortable that he almost felt like he would explode. Being sexually inexperienced, he didn’t know what to do with his overwhelming response.

Sui Ning, feeling pity for him, hugged him and lightly patted his back. She guided her wrist pearls to channel spiritual energy into his body.

She locked the system in a black box, leaving only Sui Ning and Xie Changzhou in the room. She couldn’t hide the mischievous smile on her face.

Sui Ning’s soft voice contained teasing: “Jianzun should catch up on these things.”

“Otherwise, you won’t even be able to consummate your marriage in the future.”

Xie Changzhou’s fingers trembled slightly. For the first time in his over 300-year life, he felt embarrassed. He buried his face in her neck and hardly dared to look at her.

His master had never taught him these things. Although he had read countless books, he had never thought that he would marry, let alone learn these things.

Sui Ning’s words made him blush and panic.

“Ning Ning, I will learn,” he stuttered in her ear.

Sui Ning’s smile deepened, and her two dimples appeared on her cheeks as she hugged him and lightly patted his back like she was comforting a child.

Xie Changzhou was too cute. Whatever she said, he would believe it.

She pecked his hot cheek lightly and whispered, “If Jianzun can’t learn, I can teach you…”

Suddenly, Xie Changzhou turned his head, put Sui Ning down from his body, and pulled the nearby blanket to wrap her up tightly.

Sui Ning was confused. “What?”

Xie Changzhou’s dark, long lashes trembled slightly. He didn’t dare to look at her, and his demonic energy started to surge in his Dantian. He could clearly feel the demonic energy moving through his body.

He quickly suppressed it with his cultivation and said hoarsely, “Ningning, I have something else to do. You rest first.”

He turned and walked out of the inner room, tightly closing the wooden door behind him. Sui Ning struggled to get up but found herself wrapped tightly.

She was speechless and lazily lay on the bed, looking up at the canopy above her head.

She had never seen Xie Changzhou so… shy before. This was unexpected.

Outside the inner room, Xie Changzhou’s heart was pounding like thunder. He could hear Sui Ning’s heartbeats in the quiet room.

The agitation inside his body had not yet subsided, and he closed his eyes to suppress the abnormality inside his body. The entire room was filled with the sweet fragrance from Sui Ning’s body, which seeped into his nose. His heart felt a tingling sensation. 

Time passed by one minute and one second until that restless heat became suppressed, and he confirmed that he was back to normal. He slowly opened his eyes.

Xie Changzhou turned his head to look at the closed door of the room where his lover was.

He suddenly smirked, a soft and sweet feeling spreading in his chest, and his strong heartbeat declared his joy.

As he turned to leave, his gaze fell on the soft couch where Sui Ning had just been sitting. A corner of the thin blanket was dragging on the ground, and snacks and books were scattered all over the small table beside the couch, piled up in a mess.

He felt a bit helpless, so he walked over slowly, picked up the thin blanket from the couch, and carefully folded it on the ground.

As his clearly defined fingers touched the small table, his hand suddenly stopped, and his eyebrows stretched out elegantly.

He picked up the book Sui Ning had been reading, titled “Heart Sword Technique”, with a dragon and phoenix dancing on the cover. He found it amusing and felt a bit relieved.

It seemed that Sui Ning had listened to what he had said before and was now trying to improve her cultivation since she knew her situation was dangerous.

He also felt guilty, as he was not strong enough to give Sui Ning a sense of complete safety, and she had to continue practicing to defend herself.

Xie Changzhou sighed in his heart, opened “Heart Sword Technique”, and when he saw the table of contents on the first page, his eyebrows slightly furrowed and he looked surprised.

Volume One, Soaked in Sweat

Volume Two, Playing with Jade

Volume Three, Teaching Freedom

……

He had also learned “Heart Sword Technique”, so why was Sui Ning’s book different from his?

Xie Changzhou frowned, and his slender fingers flipped through the book in his hand.

This… was clearly just a book of erotica.

However, this book was a bit strange.

His eyes fell on a certain line of words, and as he turned the page, his fingertips trembled slightly, and a hot feeling rushed from his ears to his cheeks.

[“Miss Liu lay on her back on the couch, her delicate body under the red veil arousing Young Master Lin’s desire. He slowly approached her, and Miss Liu’s beautiful eyes opened slightly as she exhaled like an orchid: ‘Young master…'”]

Xie Changzhou furrowed his brow tightly.

[In this scene, Young Master Lin threw away all the classics he had once studied, and his heart and eyes were full of Liu Niang. He felt that she was the most beautiful person he had ever met.]

The warmth on Xie Changzhou’s face flowed down, and even his cold neck felt slightly warm.

[The red curtains slowly fell, and a pair of jade hands reached out from behind the curtain, snuffing out the red wax on the bedside.]

Xie Changzhou suddenly closed the book, his glassy eyes filled with confusion. His eyelashes trembled lightly, and his hand holding the book felt as if it were burned. He quickly put it down.

His panicked gaze swept to the small table, where another book with the words “Limitless Sword Technique” written on the cover caught his attention. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly picked up the book.

Xie Changzhou’s face was filled with conflicting emotions. Could all the books on the table be like this?

As he slowly flipped through the pages, his eyes landed on a picture of two people embracing. The woman was sitting on the man’s lap, just like what he had just experienced with Sui Ning. The only difference was that they were both clothed.

Xie Changzhou’s heart beat faster, and inappropriate thoughts flooded his mind. The familiar heat rose within him, causing him to tightly shut his eyes as he tried to calm himself down by circulating his spiritual energy.

What was he thinking?

How could he be having these strange thoughts?

Why does Sui Ning need to read these books? For a delicate and innocent woman like her, is it appropriate for her to read such books in the women’s quarters?

Inappropriately, he remembered Sui Ning’s words just now.

Sui Ning said she could teach him.

So does she like these things?

She likes them, so she also likes to read these books?

Xie Changzhou’s thin lips were tightly pressed, his hand clenched tightly, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were exposed, with a tangled expression on his brow.

But these things can only be done between husband and wife. He and Sui Ning have not yet married. His reputation does not matter, but Sui Ning’s reputation cannot be destroyed.

A woman like Sui Ning will be arranged by society. He doesn’t want her to become the laughingstock behind people’s backs, nor does he want such things to happen casually.

Everything about Sui Ning should be cherished.

As his thunderous heartbeat gradually calmed down and the heat in his body decreased, he leaned over to tidy up the mess on the table. The books were neatly stacked, and the cakes and tea were placed in order. In a moment, Sui Ning’s little world by the window was cleaned up by him.

The sound of opening and closing the door was followed by footsteps gradually fading away.

Sui Ning was in the inner room; she had already struggled out of bed, sweating profusely, her soft and delicate hair sticking to her forehead, and her fair face flushed.

As she put on her shoes, she cursed Xie Changzhou in her heart. She didn’t know what method he used to wrap her up so tightly. Sui Ning struggled and was drenched in sweat before she finally crawled out.

She got up and walked out of the inner room, but Xie Changzhou was nowhere to be seen in the outer room. She was ready to return to her own little world and rest.

As she climbed onto the bed and reached for the nearby book to continue reading, her hand suddenly stopped.

Why was the small table so tidy?

Could it be that Xie Changzhou had tidied up before leaving?

Her long lashes trembled lightly, and a terrifying thought came to her mind.

Did he… see it?

The system sneered, “[What are you afraid of? Your book clearly says something about a certain great law. He’s not you, and he’s not that curious.]”

Sui Ning’s racing heart gradually calmed down.

Yes, she had deliberately changed the cover of the book to avoid being discovered. Xie Changzhou was not such a boring person, and he should not have opened it to read.

With his personality, if he had found her reading a banned book, he would have already come to educate her with the book.

Sui Ning took a deep breath and lazily lay down on the soft couch, happily continuing to read her book.

Xie Changzhou said that he would take her out to play tomorrow, as long as she could endure today.

***

The night breeze was cool, and the full moon hung high in the sky.

Tonight was the day that Xie Changzhou’s cold poison flared up.

As usual, he came to the Blue Water Spring on the back mountain to cleanse his veins. Sitting in the warm spring water, his snow-white inner robe soaked through, revealing his well-defined abdominal muscles and strong, slender waist. Water droplets at the tip of his hair streamed down his cheeks and disappeared into his clothing.

The heat of the Blue Water Spring couldn’t ease his coldness, and frost covered his straight eyebrows and long eyelashes.

In fact, his brain was in a state of confusion, with his sea of consciousness full of blood-red.

Faint traces of demonic energy overflowed from his body, and he furrowed his brows tightly, his hand clenching under the water.

The demonic energy in his lower abdomen was chaotic, and the demonic energy left by the beast had invaded his meridians. He had previously suppressed the demonic energy with all his might for fear of being discovered by Sui Ning, but now that the demonic energy was budding, it grew more and more intense.

The crimson color inside his sea of consciousness gradually faded, turning into an ancient and elegant room. In the center of the room, a gauze curtain hanging from the roof fluttered in the wind, faintly revealing the scene behind the curtain.

A soft voice came, tickling his heart.

“Zi Yue, come over here.”

He could barely control his legs, and he walked slowly towards the curtain.

Standing outside the curtain, he dared not go in, his heart beating like thunder.

A slender hand pulled aside the curtain, and the person he had been longing for hooked her red lips and looked at him, bending down towards him.

He clumsily caught her, his touch feeling smooth and delicate.

Sui Ning…wearing only a small garment.

His mind exploded, and his long fingers quickly moved away from her body. He closed his eyes, not daring to look at her.

She chuckled softly in his ear: “Zi Yue, do you like me?”

He hesitantly responded, “I do…”

“Am I attractive?”

Xie Changzhou didn’t dare to answer and remained silent, his forehead covered in tiny beads of sweat.

Sui Ning took his hand and placed it on her waist, and the delicate and soft touch made his heart race to the point of almost bursting.

She exhaled like orchids: “Zi Yue?”

He still had some sense left and shook his head with his eyes closed: “No, Ningning, we’re not yet married…”

He felt himself being pushed down onto the bed by a pair of hands. He sat there in a daze, then a faint, sweet fragrance entered his nose, and he felt a weight on his leg.

Her legs were around his waist, sitting on his lap and leaning against his chest. She drew closer and softly laughed: “Why won’t Ziyue look at me?”

Xie Changzhou kept his eyes tightly shut, his chest heaving violently. He struggled to release the hand that Sui Ning had grasped and placed on her waist.

“Ningning, we can’t…”

He was interrupted before he could finish: “Zi Yue can marry me.”

He trembled and opened his eyes, and his azure-like eyes were faintly tinged with red.

Sui Ning’s phoenix eyes were watery, and she hooked her neck around his neck: “Zi Yue, do you want to marry me?”

“After marrying me, Zi Yue can do whatever he wants to me.”

“Every day will be like this, and every night will be like this.”

“This life is incomplete without Ziyue giving birth to children with me.”

Xie Changzhou’s lips trembled, and he said with quivering lips, “Yes, I want to marry you.”

Sui Ning’s eyes curled into a smile. “You can marry me now, Ziyue.”

She took his hand and slowly placed it on her body. Xie Changzhou’s consciousness gradually became confused, and his eyes grew even darker with redness.

He gradually descended into the sea of desire, brought down by her.

In his mind suddenly came a few exclamation sounds, he couldn’t quite hear them clearly.

“Jianzun…”

He frowned, the voice was so familiar.

“Jianzun, Jianzun…”

Who was calling him?

“Xie Changzhou, Xie Changzhou, wake up!”

He suddenly opened his eyes, and in front of him, Sui Ning was still smiling, trying to get close to him.

No, this is not real; this is a heart demon!

He suddenly pushed away the person in his arms, and in that instant, Sui Ning, who had just been laughing in his arms, disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Everything around him was disintegrating, and he felt a warm and familiar spiritual energy flowing inside him, slowly removing the demonic energy.

That was the real Sui Ning!

His blurred vision gradually became clear, and a familiar face appeared in front of him, full of worry between the eyebrows and eyes.

And he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
