Eating Dumplings

The innkeeper was an old hand at reading people. How could he fail to see the relationship between the two? He immediately gave Dugu Chen a knowing look and said:

"No problem, guest. Here are the keys to your room. It's Room 208. Please keep them safe!"

The innkeeper handed the key to Dugu Chen, then lowered his voice and whispered into Dugu Chen's ear:

"Guest, our inn also provides certain special items, all of them bedroom supplies. Would you perhaps..."

As he spoke, he glanced in Ah Yin's direction, the lewdness in his eyes spilling out without restraint. Dugu Chen was left speechless.

"No need, thank you."

Before the innkeeper could finish, Dugu Chen raised a hand to cut him off. He casually placed a Golden Soul Coin on the counter, took the key, and led Ah Yin toward their room.

The thoroughly rejected innkeeper curled his lips. Thinking of Ah Yin's lovely face, his heart could not help growing hotter as he muttered:

"That brat really doesn't know how lucky he is. Don't tell me he can't perform?"

Just as he was about to say more, a flash of gold caught the corner of his eye. His eyes instantly widened like saucers.

"This is... a Golden Soul Coin?!"

All of the innkeeper's complaints about failing to sell his extra merchandise vanished in an instant. He nearly started drooling.

His shabby little inn charged at most one Silver Coin for a night's stay.

Yet Dugu Chen had paid ten times that price in one go. How could he possibly be dissatisfied? He was beyond satisfied!

Thinking this, he hurriedly scrambled onto the counter, carefully clutched the Golden Soul Coin in his hand, and gently wiped it with his sleeve. His face immediately broke into a grin.

Meanwhile.

Following the room number, Dugu Chen quickly found their guest room.

The room was not particularly large, and the furnishings inside had clearly seen many years. The entire place gave off an aged, antique air.

It rather suited the atmosphere of the Mortal Inn.

The furnishings were simple, though the large bed against the wall was spacious enough to sleep two or three people without any issue.

After traveling for an entire day, Ah Yin's almond-shaped eyes were drooping with exhaustion. Her soft body leaned against Dugu Chen's chest, her face carrying a peaceful, resting expression.

Seeing this, Dugu Chen reached out, picked Ah Yin up, and slowly walked toward the bed.

His action instantly woke Ah Yin up. She gave him a slightly resentful look, and a trace of shyness immediately appeared on her beautiful face.

"Um... how about we rest first?"

Ah Yin's exquisite oval face immediately flushed red. After spending so much time with him, she had long since developed a taste for it, but she was truly too tired today...

"Ah Yin, what are you thinking? I only wanted to carry you onto the bed so you could rest!"

Dugu Chen smiled softly and gently carried Ah Yin over to sit on the bed. His palms rested against soft curves, and even through her dress, he could feel their warmth and softness.

"Th-then put me down. How am I supposed to rest like this?"

Ah Yin sat on Dugu Chen's lap, her pretty face flushed from her cheeks all the way to her neck and ears. Feeling the heat beneath her, she could not help drawing her legs closer together.

Looking at those rosy, alluring earlobes, Dugu Chen slowly lowered his head. With a soft slurp, he took one into his mouth.

"Mm..."

Ah Yin let out a tender cry. Her body suddenly trembled, instantly tightening so much that she began to shake.

But the next moment, that tension was melted away by Dugu Chen's gentleness. Like a river after ice and snow had thawed, she quickly softened.

Her entire body took on a languid, comfortable feeling.

Only after a long while did Dugu Chen slowly release her, a mischievous smile appearing on his face.

"You're terrible. Didn't you promise to let me rest for a day?"

Ah Yin wore a coquettish expression, but the hand patting Dugu Chen's chest was bonelessly weak. Charming dimples appeared on her cheeks.

At this moment, she no longer seemed like an elf of the forest. Her aura held less purity and holiness, replaced by more of a young woman's sweetness.

"Who told Ah Yin to be as beautiful as a celestial fairy? Forget one day—even one minute less would leave me feeling that life was full of regrets!"

Dugu Chen chuckled softly. Watching Ah Yin lean against his chest in such a captivating pose, his Adam's apple bobbed as heat surged through him.

Perhaps because she had completely given him her heart, Ah Yin would always reveal a seductive charm whenever she was alone with Dugu Chen.

She was entirely different from the gentle, kind Ah Yin he usually saw. It was as though she were a completely different person.

On one side was a holy angel; on the other, a lustful succubus.

That contrast made Dugu Chen utterly unable to stop himself. He had thought he could hold back, but he had underestimated his body's instincts!

"As long as you like it, you can do whatever you want."

Ah Yin wrapped her lotus-like arms around Dugu Chen's neck. A dawn-like blush colored her lovely cheeks as she shifted upward and whispered into his ear, her breath fragrant as orchids.

As she spoke slowly, even the air seemed to soften.

It was as if a faint spring mist had enveloped them both, hazy and indistinct, impossible to see through clearly, yet irresistibly drawing one closer.

Hearing those words, Dugu Chen's heart instantly skipped a beat.

Smiling, he lightly kissed Ah Yin's cheek. "Ah Yin, you're so good to me!"

Then Dugu Chen reached out and gathered Ah Yin's feet into his palms. His hands gently caressed her delicate jade ankles, his blood rushing hotly.

Through her clothes, Ah Yin could feel the heat radiating from Dugu Chen's body, as though it would melt her completely. An intoxicated flush immediately appeared on her little face.

Dugu Chen moved his hands lower and gently slipped off her pale blue embroidered shoes.

Two tender jade feet, fair with a rosy tint and lustrous as congealed jade, were fully exposed.

Her five pearl-like toes curled together with slight unease, carrying a faintly adorable, delicate charm.

The arch of her foot tightened slightly, while pale blue veins resembled faint strokes of ink across white rice paper.

That faint, hidden sheen, illuminated by the bright moonlight, seemed untouched by the dust of the mortal world.

Dugu Chen extended his broad hand and gently stroked Ah Yin's delicate jade feet. Her soles were rosy, her toes crystal-clear and lustrous, setting his imagination wandering.

The next moment, he lifted her foot lightly. His fingertips touched his chin, and with a smack, he kissed it.

"Ah... Xiao Chen, don't kiss them. They're dirty!"

Ah Yin's legs went weak with embarrassment. If Dugu Chen had not supported her, she feared she would have melted onto the bed like jelly the very next moment.

They had traveled all day and were covered in road dust. Though her constitution meant she would not have any odor—instead, she carried a faint scent of grass and wood—

Still... she could not help feeling ashamed inside.
