Story

The moon shone bright, and the stars were sparse.

The bonfire crackled as it burned.

Ye Han frowned in thought. He could feel three pairs of eyes on him, and he did not want to disappoint them.

"Got it."

Suddenly, Ye Han's eyes lit up, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed at once.

"This is a story that happened in Spirit City."

Ye Han cleared his throat and glanced at Ye Qingxin. Though she still refused to look at him and remained expressionless, her perked ears said it all.

Steadying himself slightly, Ye Han said, "A long, long time ago, the Pope of Spirit Hall took in a disciple. Not only was this disciple exceptionally talented, she was also as beautiful as a flower, stunning enough to topple kingdoms and cities."

After a brief pause, Ye Han forcibly pulled Ye Qingxin into his arms.

Feeling the firmness of her waist and her faint warmth, he continued, "This disciple possessed both talent and beauty. She was named the Saintess, and naturally had countless admirers. Yet she fell for a useless man who could not cultivate and could only engage in academic research."

That Saintess must have been an idiot, right? Ye Qingxin muttered inwardly, her face expressionless.

"The two were in love. When word reached the Pope, it naturally incurred his towering rage. How could the Saintess of Spirit Hall be involved with a useless man? Thus, the Pope threatened and coerced the Saintess, forcing her to make a clean break with the man she loved."

Ye Han's voice was faint and eerie, like a devil's whisper. Looking at Ye Qingxin, he asked, "Do you think the Pope was right?"

"Though the Pope was certainly wrong, the Saintess represented the dignity and face of Spirit Hall. By falling for a useless man and disregarding Spirit Hall's honor, she was wrong as well," Ye Qingxin replied instinctively.

The moment she finished speaking, she realized something was off, and her earlobes flushed crimson.

Ye Han took in every change in her expression, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips. That tsundere look is pretty cute.

He lightly kissed her reddened earlobe. The exquisite body in his arms suddenly trembled, and her snow-white face instantly turned bright red, as though blood might drip from it at any moment.

The smile on Ye Han's lips deepened, but he did not tease her any further.

He slowly said, "If you have never suffered another's pain, do not urge them to be kind. Right and wrong, merit and fault, will be judged by those who come after."

"The scholarly man was broken up with by the Saintess in person. Feeling that his dignity had suffered a tremendous blow, he left Papal Hall and formed the Golden Iron Triangle with others, roaming Douluo Continent. Over time, he developed feelings for the Slaughter Corner of the Golden Iron Triangle. Unfortunately, fate toyed with them. Lovers became siblings, and he had actually fallen in love with his own cousin. Ashamed, the man fled once more and vanished without a trace."

"My throat's a little dry. Pour me a cup of wine." Ye Han pinched Ye Qingxin's waist.

Ye Qingxin cast him a cool glance. The blush had yet to fade from her face, but she picked up the wine jug, poured him a cup, and reluctantly held it out before him.

"Ah!"

Ye Han opened his mouth wide and looked at Ye Qingxin. His meaning could not have been clearer.

Ye Qingxin frowned and took a deep breath before bringing the cup to Ye Han's lips.

After taking a satisfied sip, Ye Han said, "If you wish to know what happens next, wait for the next telling. All right, my girls, let us meet in our dreams."

With that, Ye Han gently lay down while holding Snow Empress, leaving Ye Qingxin alone in utter disarray.

Snow Empress leaned against Ye Han's chest like a delicate little bird, a smile on her lips as she silently closed her eyes. Ice Empress rested her head on Ye Han's thigh and began counting stars again.

Ye Qingxin was speechless. Feeling isolated, she suddenly had the urge to bite someone.

"What, you still want to hear more? But my mouth is terribly dry. How about you pour me another cup of wine? Then I'll reluctantly tell you the rest of the story." Ye Han smiled teasingly.

Ye Qingxin fell silent.

She keenly sensed that the story Ye Han was telling was likely related to her.

After hesitating for a moment, she poured another cup of wine.

But Ye Han was now lying on the soft carpet. How was she supposed to feed him?

"Come, I'll teach you."

Ice Empress was playful and mischievous. Seeing Ye Qingxin's embarrassment, she took the wine cup.

To give Ye Qingxin an example, she poured the wine into her own mouth, then crawled before Ye Han and lightly pressed their four lips together.

Shameless, brazen, vulgar, lecher, bastard. Ye Qingxin watched the two of them acting as though no one else existed, her cheeks burning as she ran through every insult she had ever learned.

"Forget it, forget it. She's pure and spotless—how could she do something like that? Little Han, don't make things difficult for her." Ice Empress glanced at Ye Qingxin before speaking to Ye Han.

Though it sounded like she was helping her out, it was actually mockery.

Pure and spotless—was she?

Ye Qingxin's face instantly turned pale. It felt as though her dignity had been ground into the dirt.

Her innocence had already been taken by that hateful man. Now, faced with the taunt, she had no strength to refute it.

Gritting her teeth, she grabbed the wine jug and took a fierce gulp. Then she bent down, braced her hands on the ground, and moved closer to Ye Han.

Looking down at the face before her, Ye Qingxin suddenly regretted it. She did not know what madness had possessed her or why she was feeding him wine.

Sensing her hesitation, Ye Han reached out directly, wrapped an arm around her waist, and pulled her down.

Once someone took the initiative once, there would naturally be a second and third time. How could Ye Han let such an opportunity go?

Oh! That feels so good.

The sensation against his chest made Ye Han narrow his eyes involuntarily.

Staring at the red lips so close before him, Ye Han gently kissed them.

Heavenly thunder stirred earthly fire.

A fierce battle was about to erupt.

The breeze drifted gently. The bright moon seemed unable to bear the sight and shyly hid away.

The sky was their blanket, the earth their bed, deep in the wilderness.

The next morning, the sun shone brightly.

The three women were all radiant, their faces glowing with healthy luster.

The four set out on their journey once again. Yet Ye Qingxin's long, narrow phoenix eyes always held both shyness and anger whenever they inadvertently swept over Ye Han's body.

"Hehe, we're practically an old married couple already. There's no need to be like this, right?" Ye Han said shamelessly.

"Pah! Who's an old married couple with you?"

Ye Qingxin spat inwardly, her face slightly red.

"What are you saying? I wonder who kept shouting, 'Husband, spare me,' last night?"

Ye Han looked puzzled and raised his head to the sky.

Screech!

A sharp sword gleam tore through the air. Ye Qingxin stared coldly at Ye Han, looking ready to strike at the slightest disagreement, though two red clouds stained her snow-white cheeks.

"Fine, fine, I won't say it. Didn't you want to hear the story? I'll tell it to you as we walk."

Ye Han raised his hands in surrender, then changed the subject. "The Pope of Spirit Hall separated the Saintess from that man, creating a rift between master and disciple. The Pope understood that the Saintess had become disloyal to both him and Papal Hall. So, in order to keep the Saintess, the Pope did something to the beautiful Saintess that every man in the world wanted to do but could not. A year later, the Saintess gave birth to a baby girl and finally regained her freedom. The end. The book is complete."
