She knew that if she let her daughter say it out loud, the girl would definitely be very shy. Since that was the case, it was better to quietly observe for herself at night.
Chapter 41: Xue Feier: Introduce Your Apprentice to Me
The training in the Sunset Forest still continued, and Bai Chenxiang also found the third Soul Ring that suited her, with a Soul Skill that was also a speed-boosting Soul Skill.
Bai Qinchen's days were also growing increasingly carefree; either he was secretly playing for a while with Zhu Zhuqing, or he was getting hands-on with Dugu Yan behind Yu Tianheng's back.
Of course, he had not forgotten to provision Doudou and Liu Erlong, and occasionally he would also flirt with Xiao Wu and Bai Chenxiang.
Now, Dugu Yan had already been won over by him, and there was only one Ye Lingling left, whom he was also determined to get.
"Boom!" A fierce explosion rang out in the Sunset Forest.
"Everyone be careful, this beast is not very easy to deal with," Yu Tianheng reminded the crowd.
The group nodded one after another. They had long since learned of this Soul Beast's prowess, so they were exceptionally vigilant against it.
"Lingling, watch out!" Suddenly, Yu Tianheng discovered that the Soul Beast was charging directly toward Ye Lingling, and he shouted in a hurry.
Yu Feng and the others also reacted at the very first moment, wanting to step in and block it. However, the Soul Beast's speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye it had already leaped right in front of Ye Lingling.
"Don't even think about it!" Yu Tianheng let out a furious roar, grabbing the Soul Beast's tail, trying to stop it. But the Soul Beast's strength was simply too great, and he only managed to obstruct it slightly.
"Bang!" Ye Lingling was sent flying from the impact.
"Plop!" Just as Ye Lingling thought she was about to crash onto the cold ground, a broad and sturdy chest caught her instead.
"Senior Sister Lingling, are you alright?" Bai Qinchen held Ye Lingling's soft and delicate body in his arms, asking with concern.
Ye Lingling raised her head, looking at Bai Qinchen with a slightly dazed gaze. "Thank you for saving me."
Touched by Bai Qinchen's Soul-Seizing Hand, Ye Lingling's whole head became somewhat dizzy in an instant, leaving her utterly unable to think.
"Don't mention it, we're all friends." Bai Qinchen smiled faintly and let go of Ye Lingling.
Although he wanted to take advantage of Ye Lingling right now, he knew that now was not the time.
After all, not only was there a Soul Beast right in front of them, but there were also so many people watching.
Seeing that Ye Lingling was unhurt, Yu Tianheng and the others quickly surrounded the Soul Beast and began a gang beat-down.
Seeing Bai Qinchen hold Ye Lingling in his arms, Dugu Yan couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy rise up in her heart.
Bastard, he's been getting hands-on with me these past few days, and now he's actually hugging another girl.
Dugu Yan gave a light stomp of her foot, and then she also joined the encirclement of the Soul Beast, venting all her jealousy upon the creature.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Xue Feier and Liu Erlong were cracking melon seeds off to the side, watching the battle of the seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team, and shook their heads helplessly.
"Your team's coordination and cooperation are really not up to par!" Liu Erlong muttered as she cracked melon seeds.
"Indeed they aren't," Xue Feier also agreed with a nod, though she then glanced sideways at Liu Erlong and said, "Your team isn't much better either, though this brat's reaction is a bit fast."
"Of course. Look at whose apprentice he is," Liu Erlong said with pride.
This was her little lover, and having him recognized by others made her feel immensely prestigious.
"Hmph, compared to my daughter he's still a bit lacking," Xue Feier huffed.
"Your daughter?" Hearing this, Liu Erlong curled her lips, thinking to herself that wasn't your daughter also pinned beneath my apprentice in the exact same way.
"Tell me, what do you think of my apprentice?" Liu Erlong looked at Xue Feier and asked probing questions.
"Pretty good. His appearance, talent, and strength are all at the top tier." Xue Feier nodded in agreement, looking thoroughly satisfied.
"Then tell me, how is my apprentice as a match for your daughter?" Liu Erlong probed once more.
"Uh-" After hearing Liu Erlong's words, Xue Feier was momentarily dumbfounded.
"What kind of joke are you playing!" Xue Feier rolled her eyes at Liu Erlong and said, "Didn't you see that my daughter is very close with your nephew Yu Tianheng? The two of them are a couple."
"Uh..." Liu Erlong froze. Only then did she realize that she seemed to have done an incredible thing-helping her little lover poach her nephew's girlfriend.
"Say, why don't you introduce your apprentice to me?" Xue Feier suddenly leaned over to Liu Erlong's ear and said in a low voice.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Hearing Xue Feier's words, Liu Erlong immediately choked.
"Look at how I've been all alone for so many years without even a companion; it's inevitable that I feel a little empty, lonely, and cold!" As she spoke, Xue Feier wriggled her figure and continued, "Is this charm of mine enough for your apprentice?"
"Enough! Of course enough!" Yet, after just a brief moment of being stunned, Liu Erlong nodded heavily, looked at Xue Feier, and said, "Of course you can. How about I go talk to him in a moment?"
Liu Erlong knew all too well about her apprentice's lustful heart; as long as someone was pretty, he wanted to devour them. Now that Xue Feier was proactively bringing it up, she naturally agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Right now Liu Erlong was utterly and completely submissive beneath Bai Qinchen; whoever he wanted to devour, she would have no objections and would even help him.
"Uh..." Xue Feier had originally just been making a joke to see Liu Erlong's reaction, but she never imagined the other would actually agree.
"Well, I was just joking," Xue Feier laughed awkwardly.
"I'm not joking at all. I'm being serious," Liu Erlong said with a completely solemn expression.
"Uh..." Looking at Liu Erlong's deadpan expression, Xue Feier froze for a moment, then patted Liu Erlong's shoulder and said, "Alright, stop messing around. Let's not joke like this."
"If you don't believe it, I'll go tell him right now." As Liu Erlong spoke, she stood up and started to run toward Bai Qinchen's direction.
"No, no, no!" Xue Feier was startled by Liu Erlong's movement, grabbing her arm and saying, "I was wrong, okay? I will never make jokes like this again."
If Liu Erlong actually went and told Bai Qinchen about this, Xue Feier could never afford to lose face like that.
"You really don't need to?" Liu Erlong looked at Xue Feier and asked.
"No, truly no!" Xue Feier hurriedly promised.
Only then did Liu Erlong stop her intention of going to find Bai Qinchen, sitting back down in her original spot and leisurely cracking melon seeds.
Seeing this, Xue Feier let out a breath of relief.
The Soul Beast was quickly dealt with by the group. After resting a bit and eating a meal, everyone went off to rest themselves.
As night fell, the ones keeping watch for the first half of the night were still Liu Erlong and Bai Qinchen, along with Dugu Yan.
After teasing Dugu Yan for a bit and taking advantage of the moment when she was still savoring the lingering aftertaste, Bai Qinchen came into Ye Lingling's tent.
"Senior Sister Lingling, are your injuries alright?" Seeing Ye Lingling sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed to recuperate, Bai Qinchen asked with concern.
Ye Lingling opened her eyes and saw that the person who had entered her tent was Bai Qinchen. She froze for a moment, wondering why he had come to her room so late at night, but she still nodded and said, "I'm fine."
Chapter 42: Senior Sister Lingling, You Can't Escape
"Senior Sister Lingling, I see your face is still a bit pale?" As he spoke, Bai Qinchen sat down on the sleeping mat and reached out to stroke Ye Lingling's slightly pale, pretty face.
"Er..." Ye Lingling was startled; she hadn't expected Bai Qinchen to suddenly stroke her cheek.
The moment Bai Qinchen stroked Ye Lingling's cheek, he simultaneously employed the Soul-Seizing Hand, causing Ye Lingling's thoughts to instantly descend into chaos.
Ye Lingling's little face felt very smooth and delicate to the touch, with superb texture.
"Senior Sister Lingling, are you feeling very uncomfortable? Would you like me to give you a massage?" Bai Qinchen glanced at the somewhat dazed Ye Lingling and continued, "My massage technique is extremely impressive!"
"Th-that, no need for that..." Ye Lingling lowered her head slightly, refusing with a trembling voice.
"It's fine, my massage technique is really good!" Bai Qinchen said as his body slowly edged behind Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling's whole body stiffened; she had never had such close contact with a member of the opposite sex, especially since Bai Qinchen had just touched her cheek, giving her an even stronger sensation of her entire body going limp.
She tried hard to suppress her impulse, wanting to evade Bai Qinchen's touch, but unfortunately her body refused to obey.
Bai Qinchen's hand slowly moved from Ye Lingling's small face to her neck, and finally settled upon Ye Lingling's big steamed buns.
"Mm~~" Ye Lingling let out a muffled groan, her face turning redder and redder.
"Senior Sister Lingling, does it feel very comfortable? Isn't my massage technique good?" Bai Qinchen blew hot air against Ye Lingling's ear, asking in an ambiguous tone.
"N-no, we can't be like this," Ye Lingling bit her lip and said nervously.
Although she had never been in a relationship, she still knew what Bai Qinchen was doing to her, and she also knew what she would face if things continued.
"Why? I can feel that you're very comfortable." Bai Qinchen kneaded the two big steamed buns softly, blowing hot air near her ear as he spoke.
"I-it will be discovered by someone," Ye Lingling said with a blushing face.
"Hehe, don't be afraid. There's no one here besides the two of us," Bai Qinchen gently nibbled on Ye Lingling's ear, speaking with gentleness and a hint of dominance.
"But..." Ye Lingling wanted to say something more.
"Shh! Don't speak, just enjoy it." Bai Qinchen freed up one hand, turned Ye Lingling's head around, and forcefully kissed Ye Lingling's pink, cherry-like lips.
"Mmph..." Ye Lingling was forced to endure this deep and lingering kiss, her entire person plunging into endless bewilderment.
Bai Qinchen's tongue pried open Ye Lingling's teeth, marching straight in to conquer territory as he frantically plundered every inch of sweetness in Ye Lingling's mouth, as if he wanted to swallow her whole.
Ye Lingling had lost all ability to resist; she could only cooperate with Bai Qinchen, gradually forgetting everything around her and throwing herself heart and soul into this intense kiss with Bai Qinchen.
Seeing that Ye Lingling was intoxicated by her intimate contact with him, a wicked smile flashed across the depths of Bai Qinchen's eyes, and his hands quietly and slowly stripped away the clothes on Ye Lingling's body.
Soon, a perfectly exquisite and petite body was presented within Bai Qinchen's line of sight. Her jade-white, crystal-clear skin still retained a faint flush, her big steamed buns were full, upright, and proud, and her slender legs were straight and delicate, radiating a captivating luster.
"So pretty!" Looking at Ye Lingling's perfect petite body, Bai Qinchen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Ah!" Only then did Ye Lingling snap back to her senses, letting out a startled cry as she frantically grabbed her clothes to cover up her steamed buns.
"Shh! We can't be too loud, okay? Otherwise, they'll hear us~" Bai Qinchen covered Ye Lingling's small mouth with a mischievous smile.
"You! Pervert!" Ye Lingling glared indignantly at Bai Qinchen.
"Senior Sister Lingling, your figure is so nice-it would truly be a waste if you didn't let me look." As Bai Qinchen spoke, he leaned close to Ye Lingling's body, took a sniff, and said, "As expected, you smell fragrant."
"You..." With a blushing face, Ye Lingling glared angrily at Bai Qinchen, yet she couldn't utter a word.
"Senior Sister Lingling, we've already reached this step, so you might as well give yourself to me." Bai Qinchen wrapped his arms around Ye Lingling's boneless, slender waist with a cheeky grin.
Ye Lingling struggled a few times, but alas, Bai Qinchen gave her no opening whatsoever.
With a heave, Bai Qinchen picked up Ye Lingling's body, laid her down flat on the sleeping mat, leaned over to press down upon her, and looked at her with a wicked smile. "Senior Sister Lingling, you can't escape today!"
Feeling Bai Qinchen's scorching breath spraying against her face, Ye Lingling blushed like a red apple, her heart beating wildly.
Seeing Ye Lingling's shy expression, Bai Qinchen smiled even more brilliantly.
Without a moment of hesitation, he bit down directly onto a big steamed bun.
"Ying~~" Ye Lingling let out a soft moan.
"Senior Sister Lingling, your steamed buns taste so good." Bai Qinchen praised as he savored the flavor of the buns.
While eating the buns, Bai Qinchen simultaneously guided the baguette slowly into the water curtain cave.
"Mm..."
The expression on Ye Lingling's face froze. A trace of pain caused her to show a suffering expression, but the pain quickly dissipated, transforming into boundless enjoyment.
Entirely because every single thrust of Bai Qinchen's hit precisely at the deepest core of Ye Lingling's soul.
This strange sensation also brought Ye Lingling into a realm of bliss.
"Senior Sister Lingling, how does it feel?" Bai Qinchen asked Ye Lingling in a muffled voice as he ate the buns.
Right now Ye Lingling couldn't speak at all, and could only continuously nod her little head to indicate that she was very satisfied.
"Since you like it, how about we play like this often from now on?" Seeing Ye Lingling's shy and charming expression, Bai Qinchen couldn't help curving the corners of his mouth as he spoke.
"Alright! From now on, y-you can play however you want, and do whatever you want." Right now Ye Lingling could only lift her snowy neck and respond weakly.
Even Dugu Yan, who loved Yu Tianheng so deeply, had no way to refuse Bai Qinchen at times like this, let alone Ye Lingling. She had no one else she fancied, and she genuinely grew to love this feeling, naturally agreeing to Bai Qinchen's demand without the slightest hesitation.
Bai Qinchen's baguette could accurately find the deepest depths of the water curtain cave every single time, making Ye Lingling's expressions grow richer and richer.
If not for the fact that Bai Qinchen kept reminding her or kissing her lips, Dugu Yan outside would probably have heard the sounds from inside long ago.
"Qinchen, I'm coming!" Ye Lingling's pupils abruptly constricted as she felt the floodwaters in the water curtain cave become impossible to hold back any longer, utterly drowning her in an ocean of bliss.
"Together!" Bai Qinchen also delivered the syrup to the deepest recesses of the water curtain cave.
Chapter 43: I'll Teach You
Ye Lingling lay on the sleeping mat, her pretty face flushed as she reminisced about everything that had happened last night.
I-I actually just let myself be taken by a man like this? There is no aversion or disgust in my heart; on the contrary, I actually feel a little bit excited.
Could it be that I'm a bad woman?
"Lingling, how are you feeling today?" Just as Ye Lingling let her mind wander, Dugu Yan walked in carrying the meal she had prepared, asking with concern.
Before you continue
