The Routine

After saying that,

Li Qingyan's stunningly beautiful face tensed, and her hot breath quickened for a moment.

Seeing her reaction, Xu Yuan was slightly taken aback.

He was prepared to be beaten when he said those words.

But it seems like we can continue now.

Xu Yuan stroked her delicate profile, gently tucking a few strands of her loose hair behind her ear, and then lightly caressed her glistening earlobe.

As he stroked her, tears began to well up in Li Qingyan's eyes.

Xu Yuan learned a lot from his ex-girlfriends in his past life, including how to flirt through physical contact.

Xu Yuan is an honest man.

The naive and innocent boy longed for love. At first, he was unwilling and didn't know how to use such methods, but later he was corrupted by those bad women who lusted after his body.

His distance from her was very close, yet also very subtle.

It would be close enough not to cause Li Qingyan to have a stress reaction, while still creating an ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

Once the atmosphere is right and you've successfully aroused that impulse in the other person, everything will fall into place naturally.

As for his earlier promise regarding the period after the wedding?

What?

Did he actually say that?

In the dim light, Li Qingyan gently pursed her red lips, the blush on her cheeks making her even more beautiful and charming.

Xu Yuan's caressing motion shifted slightly downwards, his slender fingers tracing her earlobe before gently stroking her fair swan-like neck, while his other hand naturally rested on her supple waist.

Her breathing quickened again, but she did not resist.

Xu Yuan felt his respect for her growing stronger. His fingertips expertly traced her waist and abdomen, slowly moving upwards. He was about to gently lay her flat on the fiery red sheets and press down on her.

Unfortunately, in the next instant, Xu Yuan saw the beautiful black eyes in front of him gradually turn crimson.

Li Qingyan began circulating his Cultivation Method.

The air suddenly froze, Xu Yuan cursed inwardly.

Although it is unknown what kind of Cultivation Method Li Qingyan practices, any Cultivation Method of a certain level will generally have the effect of calming the mind and focusing the spirit.

A moment of silence followed.

The two remained in the same ambiguous posture as before, but the ambiguous atmosphere had vanished.

Li Qingyan stared quietly at Xu Yuan, the previous ripples gone from her eyes, even carrying a hint of a smile, her lips slightly parted:

"My lord, you truly are a seasoned expert in love affairs."

"."

Xu Yuan pursed his lips, raised his hand and slapped her alluring waistline with a "smack," sighing:

"Even the most seasoned veteran can't withstand Princess's use of her cultivation Cultivation Method."

No matter how heated the atmosphere is, your Cultivation Method can bring it down.

The techniques from my past life aren't very effective here.

Li Qingyan glanced at his still restless hands with her crimson eyes, her two long, slender, fair legs crossed and raised, her red lips smiling:

"If the Prince Consort desires it, it's not impossible for me. However, with the crisis in Beifeng City still unresolved, I have neither the time nor the inclination to do such a thing with you."

Having said that,

Li Qingyan leaned closer, her red lips brushing against Xu Yuan's earlobe, her breath sweet Ru Lan:

"Please be patient, Your Highness, on our wedding night. You can do whatever you want to me, and I will not resist."

"Hiss"

Feeling a slight itch on his earlobe, Xu Yuan took a deep breath.

They're all bullying him because of his weak cultivation, killing him but not burying him, right?

A moment of silence,

Xu Yuan also circulated his Cultivation Method, recovering to normal. Staring at Li Qingyan's crimson eyes, he smiled:

"That might hurt a little, oh, I almost forgot, Qingyan, you seem to like it?"

I can't eat you, but I can at least tease you?

But unfortunately,

Li Qingyan seemed to have accepted this fact at this moment, but her expression remained unchanged. Instead, she looked Xu Yuan up and down, then chuckled, her smile as radiant as a flower.

"If you want to please me, Your Highness, your cultivation level is probably still a bit lacking. You mustn't be unable to even penetrate me; if that happens, I will be very disappointed."

"." Xu Yuan.

He made a dirty joke, not that you should make an even dirtier one in return.

However, Xu Yuan didn't respond to that. A floor tile without power isn't qualified to respond to such a comment.

A moment of silence,

Li Qingyan slowly exhaled, extended a slender finger to lift Xu Yuan's chin, narrowed her crimson eyes like red crystals, and said with a smile:

"My lord, don't be angry. My disappointment doesn't mean you will be disappointed."

"."

Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, then chuckled softly and suddenly raised his hand to press on her knife wound.

Li Qingyan could see his movements clearly and knew what he wanted to do.

But after a moment's thought, she did not stop her at all.

The next instant, his Source Qi surged from his fingertips.

"Mmm~"

A wave of pain washed over her, Li Qingyan instinctively bit her lip, her long, slender legs slightly clamping together before she looked up at him.

"."

They gazed at each other for a moment.

Li Qingyan pursed her lips:

"Satisfied?"

Xu Yuan looked at her exquisite face and sighed:

"Thanks."

Xu Yuan couldn't say for sure about his earlier reactions, but this last move was definitely Li Qingyan trying to take care of his feelings.

Although his movements were fast, in Li Qingyan's eyes, especially when he was circulating his Cultivation Method, he was probably no different from a snail.

But she still made him do it.

A caring older sister is always so understanding.

Wait, we can't think like that.

Li Qingyan rolled out of bed, turned her head, and said in a clear voice:

"My lord, I suggest you turn your back to me from now on."

"Hmm?" Xu Yuan asked with a hint of doubt, "Why?"

"I want the cloth strips changed." Li Qingyan, her back to him.

"Strips of cloth?"

The next moment,

"Splash."

With a rustling sound, she turned her back to him, and the tattered strip of her bodice fell to the ground.

In the dim light,

Her smooth, jade-like back connected to her exquisite waist, her perfect peach-shaped buttocks, and the soft curves that were faintly visible from behind, sparked the imagination.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan took a deep breath:

"Princess, can't you consider my feelings?"

"I have already said..."

Li Qingyan slightly turned her head, her profile flawless, her voice carrying a hint of amusement. "I told you to turn your back and not look, but you wouldn't listen. What does that have to do with me now?"

Having said that,

The white, specially made strip of cloth circled around her hand again and again.

Finally, when Li Qingyan turned around, her ample figure, which was faintly visible from behind, had disappeared completely.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yuan's eye twitched.

What kind of cutting-edge technology is this?

Could that woman Tianyan have used this thing too?

After silently cursing to himself, Xu Yuan composed himself and asked:

"Alright, you let me in first, it wasn't just to show off your figure to me, was it?"

"Of course not."

The explicit words did not faze Li Qingyan in the slightest. She naturally put on the red dress and said softly, "Two things. First, I wanted to thank you in person."

"Thank me?"

Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow, understanding the situation, but still deliberately asked, "What are you thanking me for?"

Li Qingyan moved swiftly, already dressed in her red martial arts outfit as she spoke. She sat down next to Xu Yuan, took out a pair of matching trousers, and turned back with a smile:

"Yuan Hao has already told me, so you don't need to pretend to be confused in front of me. My dear consort, you have a very keen sense of the battlefield."

"Um?"

Xu Yuan stared at her long, straight, fair legs, somewhat stunned.

Yuan Hao?

What Yuan Hao? Doesn't he only have flying Demon Beast?

Her long, glistening legs were hidden by trousers, and Li Qingyan chuckled:

"You won't admit it? Then let me remind you, Yuan Hao told me that the order he gave to lead his army out of the city to attack the barbarian army and join forces with me to cut off the battlefield was yours, wasn't it?"

"." Xu Yuan.

Well, Yuan Hao knows how to get things done; he even knows how to give credit to his superiors.

Li Qingyan sat down next to Xu Yuan, took out a lens for short-to-medium-range communication from his Sumeru Ring, and played with it in his hand, saying to himself:

"This kind of thing can't make real-time calls or send messages; it can only send a notification of a fluctuation in Source Qi, so you have to arrange it in advance."

"Prince Consort,"

"When the snow stopped at dawn, you guessed that I would go out of the city to attack the Barbarian King's central army and informed Yuan Hao."

"Is that right?"

"."

Xu Yuan blinked sincerely at Li Qingyan:

"If I told you that Yuan Hao did this himself, would you believe me?"

"Oh."

Li Qingyan a soft hum, shook her head, lowered her eyes, and spoke in a husky voice:

"Thank you in any case. Without your orders, my journey would likely have been fraught with peril."

As he spoke,

Li Qingyan's phoenix eyes curved into two glistening crescent moons as she tilted her head, her gaze gentle.

"I was just saying I'd give you, my consort, a little reward, but since you won't admit it, then forget it."

Suddenly met with a gentle gaze, Xu Yuan realized he was finding it hard to resist the female assassin's tactics. He coughed lightly and changed the subject:

"Uh, what's the second thing?"

Li Qingyan remained silent for a moment, her beautiful crimson eyes still narrowed, but the gentleness in them vanished, replaced by a strong killing intent.

"I heard from Cang Liping that my second brother seems to want to kill you?"

or?

I had to go out today, so this will be a separate update.
