The next morning, Lin Qing slowly woke up. Looking at Xiao Wu still sleeping soundly in his arms, he gently brushed aside the strands of hair that had stuck to her cheeks after yesterday's intense ordeal. He caressed her face, then finally couldn't resist kissing her forehead.
Perhaps Lin Qing's movements had been a little too large. Xiao Wu hazily opened her eyes as well, rubbed them, and looked at Lin Qing.
"Good morning, Xiao Wu."
"M-Morning." Xiao Wu lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Qing. Now, whenever she saw his face, she recalled last night's madness. She had thought that, relying on the advantages of being a Shapeshifting Soul Beast, she could firmly suppress Lin Qing. Who would have thought that she would be the one suppressed in the end?
Xiao Wu had never expected Lin Qing's stamina to be so terrifying. They had gone on until dawn. If Lin Qing had not shown mercy at the end, she feared she would have passed out completely.
Even now, Xiao Wu could still feel sore, achy, and painful all over.
Seeing Xiao Wu lower her head and avoid looking at him, Lin Qing couldn't help teasing her. "What's wrong, Xiao Wu? Weren't you so bold last night? Why don't you dare look at me now?"
Lin Qing pinched Xiao Wu's chin with his right hand and turned her face toward him. "Who was the one who pushed me down first last night? And who sat on top of me, boasting that she was going to suppress me?"
"Hey! Bad Lin Qing, stop talking about it!" Xiao Wu was so embarrassed by his words that she could only wave her little fists and punch his chest.
Perhaps Xiao Wu's movements were too large as she punched him, causing the scene beneath the blanket to be exposed. It swayed before Lin Qing's eyes, once again stirring up his desire.
Xiao Wu also felt something hot poking against her from below. Her hands stopped punching him, and her expression stiffened. "Lin Qing, you're not planning to do it again, are you? It's daytime!"
"Xiao Wu, what nonsense are you talking about? Morning is exactly the time for morning exercises!" Then Lin Qing threw off the blanket and flipped over, suppressing Xiao Wu once more...
Two hours later, Lin Qing finished his morning exercises, got out of bed, and put on his clothes. He gently kissed Xiao Wu's forehead. "Xiao Wu, rest for a while. I'll go buy you breakfast."
Xiao Wu, lying on the bed, rolled her eyes at Lin Qing without saying anything. She no longer even had the strength to speak.
Seeing that Xiao Wu truly seemed exhausted, Lin Qing stopped teasing her and left the room directly.
Although Lin Qing had left Xiao Wu alone, he had placed a potted Blue Silver Grass plant on the bedside table. He had gotten it from Ah Yin so that he could observe Xiao Wu's condition through Ah Yin at any time. This potted Blue Silver Grass could also serve as a node, allowing him to quickly return to Xiao Wu's side.
Opening the door and stepping out, he saw Zhu Zhuqing leaving her room as well. The instant Zhu Zhuqing saw Lin Qing, she turned her head away. Upon closer inspection, one could see two rosy clouds had already appeared on her cheeks.
"Morning, Zhu Qing." Upon seeing Zhu Zhuqing, Lin Qing greeted her warmly.
"Morning..." Zhu Zhuqing merely replied indifferently.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing walk ahead of him with her back turned the entire time, Lin Qing found it strange. He quickly stepped forward, wanting to ask what had happened to her.
"Zhu Qing, why do you have dark circles under your eyes?" Lin Qing's focus was clearly rather different. He did not notice the blush that had lingered on Zhu Zhuqing's face, but instead noticed the faint dark circles around her eyes.
"It's nothing. I just didn't sleep very well last night," Zhu Zhuqing replied.
"Didn't sleep well? Was the bed uncomfortable? I thought it was quite comfortable to sleep on. Are you not used to it?"
Hearing Lin Qing fire off a string of questions, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to recall the sounds that had continued until dawn last night, and her cheeks turned crimson.
"Zhu Qing, why is your face so red..." The moment Lin Qing asked, he already knew the answer.
Damn! Is this hotel's soundproofing really that bad?! After realizing the reason, Lin Qing immediately cursed the hotel's soundproofing in his heart.
After that, the two walked side by side without either of them saying a word.
After arriving outside the hotel, Lin Qing and Zhu Zhuqing found a restaurant and ate breakfast together before returning to the hotel.
"Zhu Qing, what are your plans next?" Lin Qing asked.
After all, Zhu Zhuqing's original purpose had been to find Dai Mubai. Now that she had completely fallen out with him, with her personality, she would never humbly apologize to Dai Mubai and seek his forgiveness. Of course, Zhu Zhuqing no longer had the slightest feelings for Dai Mubai anyway.
"Before coming to Suotuo City, I learned that there was an academy here that only taught monsters. Since I don't know what to do next anyway, I plan to apply there first and see whether that academy can make me stronger," Zhu Zhuqing said.
Zhu Zhuqing had learned about this academy, which claimed to accept only monsters, while in the Star Luo Empire gathering information about Dai Mubai's whereabouts. Some rumors about the academy had also reached her ears.
"Is that so? Perfect. Xiao Wu and I originally came here to join that monster academy called Shrek. We can go together when the time comes." Lin Qing took the opportunity to invite her.
"Alright," Zhu Zhuqing replied.
After the two made their agreement, Lin Qing returned to the room with packed breakfast.
Back in the hotel room, which was divided into an outer room and an inner room, the two large spaces separated by an enormous screen, Lin Qing placed the packed breakfast on the small table in the outer room before entering the inner room.
Arriving beside the bed, Lin Qing looked at Xiao Wu, who was still catching up on sleep. He leaned down slightly, reached his hand beneath the blanket, gently patted Xiao Wu's butt, and whispered into her ear, "Xiao Wu, wake up. I brought breakfast back for you."
At last, under Lin Qing's calls, Xiao Wu slowly woke up. She rubbed her eyes before opening those hazy eyes of hers.
Looking at Xiao Wu's hazy eyes, Lin Qing couldn't help recalling last night's and this morning's madness. Thinking of last night's scene, a phrase flashed through his mind: The male rabbit's paws fluttered, the female rabbit's eyes grew hazy indeed!
Xiao Wu sat up, and the blanket slid down with her. She yawned, becoming slightly more awake. Seeing Lin Qing still watching her, Xiao Wu pointed beyond the screen. "Lin Qing, get out. I need to get dressed!"
"Why? Xiao Wu, I've seen it all already, so there's no need to avoid me, right?" Suddenly, an idea flashed through Lin Qing's mind. "Xiao Wu, look, you were exhausted last night and this morning. Let me help you get dressed."
"No!" Xiao Wu's pretty face flushed faintly. "Don't you dare try anything. Get out first. I can dress myself!"
Seeing Lin Qing's sly expression, Xiao Wu immediately felt that he could not possibly have good intentions. To avoid being tormented by him again, she could only firmly demand that Lin Qing leave. Otherwise, if Lin Qing became interested again, she would not be able to withstand it.
Seeing Xiao Wu be so resolute, Lin Qing was somewhat disappointed and could only slink out.
Lin Qing did not actually want to be like this either. Although he had built up a huge fortune through his own hard work in his previous life and had seen quite a few women, he had never truly touched a woman in that life, nor had he had any biological children of his own.
Later, Lin Qing adopted a daughter from an orphanage and named her Lin Kexin. However, before he could watch his daughter grow up, Immortal Lord Dayun sent him to Douluo Continent during the year she took her college entrance exams. Fortunately, Lin Qing had already made a will, leaving all his inheritance to his daughter after his death.
And having touched a woman for the first time across both lifetimes, Lin Qing had developed quite a taste for it. He could not always suppress some of his physiological reactions.
Fortunately, once Xiao Wu had gotten dressed, nothing else happened.
"Alright, Lin Qing, come in."
Hearing Xiao Wu's voice, Lin Qing walked in. He saw Xiao Wu already seated before the dressing table, holding a wooden comb in her hand.
"Lin Qing, comb my hair." Xiao Wu saw Lin Qing arrive behind her through the mirror and handed him the comb.
Lin Qing took the wooden comb and began tidying Xiao Wu's somewhat messy hair after their vigorous activity.
"Lin Qing, do you know why I asked you to comb my hair?" Xiao Wu suddenly asked.
"Why?" Lin Qing roughly knew the reason, but he still chose to listen to Xiao Wu say it herself.
"My mother gave me this comb. She said that when I met someone I could entrust my life to, I should give him this comb and let him comb my hair. And now, I've met that person," Xiao Wu said.
"Are you confessing to me?" Lin Qing joked.
"Then how are you going to respond to my confession?" Xiao Wu continued along with the joke.
Lin Qing stopped moving, stepped around to Xiao Wu's front, cupped her cheek, and gently kissed her lips. "I'll comb your hair for the rest of my life."
After combing her hair, Lin Qing and Xiao Wu went to the outer room. Of course, before leaving, Lin Qing put away the bedsheet, pure white save for a patch of crimson. After all, it bore the blood from Xiao Wu's first time, making it quite meaningful as a keepsake.
