A Fine Opportunity for Mischief, Gradually Getting into the Mood

After walking along the damp mountain path for a while, Shen Qingling figured the plant-type soul beast he was looking for should be nearby.

"Husband, don't worry if you can't find it yet. If you just say, 'Please, my dear wife,' I'll help you look!"

Seizing the opportunity, Gu Yuena quietly made the suggestion and winked at Shen Qingling. If he actually said it, it would definitely be amusing.

Shen Qingling stiffened, his face flushing slightly as he said nervously, "How could I possibly say something like that? Don't even think about it."

Tang San and Xiao Wu were still here, yet Na'er was already causing trouble. There was no way he would cast aside his pride and beg Na'er.

"Husband, there should be some fun between spouses, shouldn't there?" Gu Yuena poked Shen Qingling in the chest. "I chased you for ten years. Asking you to say one sentence isn't too much, is it?"

She really wanted to hear her husband say it.

Just as she waited expectantly, Tang San turned around in the distance and waved. "Teacher, Teacher, is this the soul beast? I found it!"

Why did Teacher and Mistress look so strange? Were they whispering secrets?

"Coming!"

Shen Qingling answered, gently pushing Gu Yuena away. "Na'er, we'll talk when we get back."

With that said,

Shen Qingling hurried away, afraid Gu Yuena would keep pestering him. It really wasn't easy. Gu Yuena was a bottomless pit that was hard to satisfy. Did she seriously think they could do it ten times a day?

"That disciple has no sense at all!"

She was about to die of anger. Didn't Tang San know Teacher and Mistress needed time to be affectionate?

Did he really have no sense at all?

I'm furious! And Husband keeps slipping away. If they had a fixed place to live, she would have built a house long ago and stayed properly with him.

Suppressing the anger in her heart, she continued deeper ahead.

Di Tian was so frightened he did not dare make a sound. Any noise at all might earn him punishment. It was truly not easy. Still, the girl beside Tang San named Xiao Wu was actually a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit.

Her soul beast aura could not be detected. Presumably, the Dragon Duke had found a way to conceal it.

Shen Qingling quickly walked over to Tang San and looked in the direction he pointed. A completely jade-green vine coiled around an ancient tree, its surface gleaming with a gentle jade-like luster. Dense life energy seeped from between its branches and leaves. It was precisely a two-thousand-year Jade Spirit Vine.

"A two-thousand-year Jade Spirit Vine. Good stuff." Joy flashed through Shen Qingling's eyes. "I was planning to find this for your second soul ring anyway. I didn't expect us to run into one so conveniently."

Tang San's heart leaped with excitement, and his eyes lit up. He secretly rejoiced that his judgment had been correct. This soul beast perfectly met his teacher's requirements. After being tempered by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and transformed by immortal herbs, his meridians had long surpassed those of his peers. A two-thousand-year soul ring sounded excessive, but he was confident he could withstand it steadily. He absolutely could not show weakness before his teacher.

"Teacher, should I begin now?" Tang San rubbed his hands together, eager to try.

Shen Qingling nodded. "Of course. The usual limit for a second soul ring is only around seven hundred years, but after your body was tempered by ice and fire, your meridians and foundation are solid. You can fully withstand two thousand years.

"The Jade Spirit Vine follows the path of pure life energy. It can perfectly complement your first soul skill, Life Drain, while also strengthening the resilience of your Blue Silver Grass."

"I understand, Teacher." Tang San took a deep breath, drew his dagger, and slowly stepped forward. Following the method Shen Qingling had taught him, he precisely severed the vine's core. A purple soul ring slowly rose into the air.

He sat cross-legged and guided the soul ring into his body. The two-thousand-year soul power surged through his meridians, yet it was far less violent than he had imagined. Under his guidance, it circulated steadily throughout his body while Shen Qingling stood nearby, guarding him with focused attention.

"Um... Teacher, I'll go over there and begin forming my own second soul ring."

Xiao Wu came before Shen Qingling and waved.

"Di Tian, go with her."

"Yes, my lord."

Di Tian led Xiao Wu to one side to begin condensing her soul ring. Seeing that no one was around, Gu Yuena immediately pushed Shen Qingling down and, without another word, forcefully kissed him.

"Na'er... mmph!"

Shen Qingling was caught off guard and pinned to the grass, filled with helplessness. Gu Yuena moved too quickly; before he even had time to react, his lips had already been sealed.

He instinctively wanted to push her away, but he feared making too much noise and disturbing Tang San, who was absorbing his soul ring not far away. He could only stiffen and let her have her way.

Not far away, Di Tian stood with his back to them as he guarded Xiao Wu. He heard every faint sound coming from behind him, and every muscle in his body tensed as he lowered his head even further.

He did not even dare breathe loudly, inwardly groaning. His Lord was far too uninhibited. They were in a forest in broad daylight, and there was even a disciple nearby absorbing a soul ring.

Yet he did not dare turn around, much less make a sound. Afraid that he might interrupt his Lord and be held accountable afterward, he could only pretend he had heard nothing and stand there obediently like a wooden post.

A moment later, Gu Yuena slightly raised her head and wiped the corner of her mouth with her fingertip. Her gaze was so scorching it seemed ready to ignite.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Her voice was slightly hoarse. She lowered her head near Shen Qingling's ear, her tone carrying an unmistakable threat. "If you dare ruin my mood today, I'll make sure you properly experience what true Silver Dragon King fury is."

Before her words had even faded, she did not wait for Shen Qingling to argue. She bent down and kissed him again, with even greater force than before.

Shen Qingling was completely numb. Only one thought remained in his mind:

This Silver Dragon King was truly insane. Di Tian was right beside them, and Tang San was still absorbing his soul ring, yet she had no reservations at all.

But he could not break free. With Gu Yuena determined to make trouble today, he had nowhere to hide. He could only close his eyes and let her torment him, silently hoping Tang San would finish absorbing the soul ring soon so this embarrassing farce that made his heart race could finally end.

Let this farce end quickly. Should he feel fortunate or miserable? The bloodlines of the Golden Dragon King and Blue Silver Emperor had given him the ability to recover faster, but they had also given Gu Yuena the chance to have her way with him.

And then there was that line about "ten times a day." He had never imagined anyone could do this ten times in a single day. It was terrifying.

Was that even something a person could do? But Gu Yuena was not human—she was a dragon. Dragons were inherently lustful; there was no escaping it.

Time passed second by second. Around two hours later, Tang San finally showed signs of nearly finishing his absorption, while Shen Qingling and Gu Yuena had shifted through all sorts of positions.

They still had not gone any further.

"Na'er, can we go back and talk properly?"

Shen Qingling looked at Gu Yuena in his arms, her face filled with infatuation. He was gradually getting into the mood himself. If he did not stop this now, they really would settle it right here.

"Fine, fine. It's all the same anyway."

Gu Yuena spoke softly, then kissed Shen Qingling on the lips once more before finally releasing him.

Shen Qingling touched the marks on his thigh, unsure whether to laugh or cry. Na'er, you really are far too earnest.

Soon, Tang San's voice rang out.

"Teacher, I've finished absorbing it!"
