Take Your Clothes Off

Shen Qing's poison had to be cured as soon as possible, but there was a bit of a problem. The Grand Preceptor's Residence was so big... where did Shen Qing live? Bai Mo could only look for him once she got inside. If she couldn't find him, there was nothing she could do~

At the hour of the pig.

A figure in black darted swiftly through the night.

Bai Mo moved quickly, reaching the Grand Preceptor's Residence before long. She had drunk two bottles of beginner potion before setting out, so her mental power was currently abundant.

With a whoosh, she flung out a vine. Sensing no one inside the wall, she used the vine to pull herself into the courtyard.

She wandered along deserted paths, looking this way and that.

Half an hour later, she spotted Shen Qing's personal attendant outside a courtyard.

Bai Mo let out a deep sigh. She had finally found him. Her legs were about to fall off from all that running...

She turned and made her way to the side of the courtyard, then used the same method to slip inside with a whoosh. The trees in the courtyard were fairly lush, and their shade happened to conceal Bai Mo completely.

Shen Qing was sitting by the window, reading. He had just finished bathing and was preparing to rest, so he wore only his inner robes.

When the attendant went to the side room, Bai Mo made her move.

She slipped into Shen Qing's room, swiftly shut the door and locked it, all in one smooth motion...

Shen Qing was startled when a figure suddenly slipped inside. He was about to call out when he saw Bai Mo's little face, and his cry stopped short.

Bai Mo leaned against the door, panting, her chest rising and falling slightly and her little face flushed red.

I'm fucking exhausted!!

"I've come to cure your poison. Find a way to send all the servants away. No one can disturb us while I'm treating you."

After standing there for a moment, she finally caught her breath somewhat.

"You... you appeared so suddenly. Don't stare at me. I'm going to get changed."

Somewhat flustered, Shen Qing turned and hurried behind the screen.

He was wearing only his inner robes. This forward woman really was...

"Hey, there's no need to change. You'll have to take your clothes off for the treatment anyway."

A clatter came from behind the screen, though it was unclear what had collided.

Bai Mo thought people in ancient times were such a bother. They wore so many clothes and were still afraid of being looked at.

Shen Qing's movements paused. He made no comment, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed. He still put his clothes on properly before coming out.

Knock, knock.

There was a knock at the door.

Xiaojing's voice came from outside. "Young Master, have you retired? Let me put out the lamp for you."

"No need. I'll put it out myself later. There's no need to keep watch tonight."

Shen Qing frowned at Bai Mo as he turned Xiaojing away.

"Yes." The footsteps outside gradually receded.

Looking innocent, Bai Mo said, "I'll have a sip of water, then we can start. Once I've cured you, I still have to hurry back to sleep."

Shen Qing sneered. "Oh? I heard that Eldest Miss Bai bid on a flower-like young man at the Green Grass Pavilion yesterday. No wonder you're in such a hurry."

Bai Mo: "..."

What's going on? Is it already common knowledge that I bought Yun Wu's freedom yesterday?

"It's not what you think. Someone asked me to help him, so I did."

Bai Mo explained instinctively.

"Eldest Miss Bai is truly blessed with romantic fortune, and she really does love playing the hero saving the beauty."

Shen Qing spoke in a sarcastic tone as he approached Bai Mo, one step at a time.

At last, there was barely a palm's breadth between them.

Bai Mo froze and looked up at his incomparably handsome face. It was as though the fresh scent of bamboo from his body filled her nose.

What is he doing? Could he actually be angry?

Bai Mo's lips curled, and her tone was somewhat teasing. "I think you're right. I'm saving a beauty right now."

Seeing the look of a wastrel on Bai Mo's face, Shen Qing immediately stepped back.

When Xiaojing had come to report to him today, going on about Xiao Muzhi and Yun Wu, Shen Qing himself had not known why his belly was full of nameless fire.

For now, he could only suppress it. His expression grew a shade colder. "How will you treat me? Let's begin."

Bai Mo shrugged indifferently. "Take off your clothes. The poison has to be expelled through every pore. Yours has gathered in your internal organs, so you only need to take off your upper garments."

"It's already improper for an unrelated man and woman to be alone in a room, and now you actually want me to take off my clothes. Are you really here to treat me?"

It's just taking off your shirt. I didn't ask you to take off your trousers. Do you have to look at me like I'm a flower thief?

"If I'm not here to treat you, why would I come in the middle of the night? Did I come to sleep with you? You'd have to be willing, wouldn't you?"

Shen Qing's expression grew even worse. He clenched his fists, turned around and put out the lamp.

"Sit on the bed. It'll be more comfortable, and I can sit on it too. It's hard for me to work if you sit on a stool." As darkness fell before her eyes, Bai Mo hurried over and sat on the bed!

Shen Qing stopped being awkward about it and felt his way to the bed, thinking he should get the treatment over with as soon as possible so she would hurry up and leave.

After adjusting to the darkness, Shen Qing was about to get onto the bed when he tripped over something and fell straight down.

"Ah!" Bai Mo's chin was struck, and she gave a soft cry.

Bai Mo was now pinned beneath Shen Qing, serving as a human cushion. She didn't know what part of him had knocked against her chin, but it hurt like hell!!

"What are you doing? I told you to sit over here, not pounce on me."

Shen Qing had been startled the moment he fell. With the woman's soft body pinned beneath him, his face flushed red in an instant. Fortunately, it was dark; otherwise, Shen Qing felt he would have wanted the ground to swallow him whole.

The fresh fragrance of plants wafted into his nose. Though this was only the second time he had smelled it, Shen Qing found it especially familiar.

"Are you getting up or not? Are you trying to crush me to death?"

When the man on top of her didn't respond, Bai Mo pushed him again!

Only then did Shen Qing slowly rise, roll over to the side and sit up straight.

"I think I tripped over your shoes," Shen Qing explained softly, his embarrassment undiminished.

Only then did Bai Mo remember that she had kicked her shoes carelessly onto the floor when she got onto the bed.

"Sorry about that. Let's begin, then. Take off your clothes and turn your back to me."

"Mm."

The soft rustle of clothes being removed reached her ears. Moonlight spilled faintly through the window, and Bai Mo could vaguely make out the outline of the man opposite her.

Tsk, tsk, tsk~

This man's figure is amazing. His lines are firm, his waist is incredibly sexy, and he's a little on the lean side, so his muscles aren't exaggerated at all. Absolutely top-tier.

Add this hazy beauty, and it's a deadly temptation!!

"Let's begin." Shen Qing had finished undressing, and his whole body was flushed.

"Mm."

Bai Mo reached out to Shen Qing, and when she touched his back, he gave a noticeable shudder.

Gathering her thoughts, Bai Mo began to circulate her Wood-Element Ability, sending it into Shen Qing's body and moving through it inch by inch.

Shen Qing felt the fresh fragrance of plants grow stronger. A warm current slowly spread from where she touched him to his limbs and bones, and it felt wonderfully comfortable.

Is this inner force? He slowly closed his eyes.

Half an hour later, Bai Mo withdrew her hands, once again feeling deeply drained. This body really was a little too weak.

She lay back. "Let me catch my breath. How do you feel?"

Shen Qing's voice seemed a little low, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his deep eyes.

"I feel very good. I haven't felt this clear-headed in a very, very long time."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound.

Even breathing reached him. Bai Mo had fallen asleep from exhaustion...
