After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master - Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Bouncing and Jumping

Inside the room.

Jiang Huai had only lit a small lamp by the bed. Chu Xianning was already lying on the bed, with the serene moonlight spilling through the window onto her porcelain-white body. Jiang Huai gently pulled the quilt over her, covering Chu Xianning’s body. She turned her head towards him, and Jiang Huai brought over a chair to sit by the bed.

“How about I tell Master a story?”

“You… tell…” Chu Xianning’s voice was slightly sluggish.

Jiang Huai had many, many stories in his mind. After thinking for a while, he decided to tell Chu Xianning a fairy tale. He slowly began,

“Legend has it that deep in the ocean, there exists a race of mermaids…”

The story ended with the mermaid princess turning into colorful bubbles under the sun. She did not gain her love, but she obtained an immortal soul.

His story ended, and when he looked at Chu Xianning, her eyes were still gazing at him. The eyes of his master were not cold at this moment, but rather, there was a hint of tenderness. However, her cheeks seemed to still be a bit flushed. She gently tugged at the quilt, turned her body to face Jiang Huai, and asked.

“Is there more?”

“There’s more. If Master wishes to listen, I have many, many more.”

Jiang Huai continued to tell Chu Xianning slightly modified fairy tales. Chu Xianning just listened quietly, and everything in the darkness seemed to become extremely silent, leaving only the sound of Jiang Huai’s voice and Chu Xianning’s faint breathing.

Suddenly, Jiang Huai caught a strong scent of flowers. His story had just ended, so he softly said.

“It smells good.”

Chu Xianning lowered her eyelashes.

“When the Flower Spirit Body can’t be suppressed, it will be like this.”

“It smells really nice.”

Jiang Huai noticed the beads of sweat on Chu Xianning’s forehead and took out a handkerchief. “Is Master very hot?”

“Very uncomfortable.”

Chu Xianning bit her lip, her skin already flushed with a rosy pink hue. Jiang Huai hesitated for a moment.

“Should I leave for a while, so Master can suppress the desires?”

Chu Xianning quietly looked at him and slowly said.

“So from the beginning, you never believed what I said… that I use the Clear Heart Technique to suppress desires, right?”

“I definitely didn’t mean to mock Master…”

“But when you let your imagination run wild, you thought of many scenes of me pleasuring myself, didn’t you?”

Chu Xianning’s voice was cold, but the slightly trembling tone seemed to be tinged with a hint of seductiveness.

“I, I, I… It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have thought…”

Jiang Huai was somewhat at a loss. Chu Xianning’s skin began to glisten with droplets of water, which seemed to evaporate from the heat of her body, filling the room with a rich floral fragrance.

Chu Xianning slightly lowered her head, and her voice no longer held any blame for Jiang Huai, only softly saying,

“The desires of the Flower Spirit Body are much stronger than those of ordinary women. I once asked Granny Jiuyou about this problem, but Granny Jiuyou just told me to find a Dao companion. After having a Dao companion, I naturally wouldn’t be troubled by desires anymore.”

“But for so many years, I’ve never sought a Dao companion. Do you know why?”

“I… don’t know, but I really want to know. If Master is willing to tell me, I will listen.”

Chu Xianning raised her eyes to the ceiling. “It’s troublesome.”

“Ah?” Jiang Huai was taken aback.

“I’m used to being alone. Thinking about having to be with someone else from now on, it just feels very troublesome, so I’ve never considered finding a Dao companion. Even when you were little, I had countless thoughts of sending you to another mountain, but you were too good at looking pitiful. Every time I had such thoughts and saw your aggrieved look, my heart softened, and I gradually got used to it.”

“So the reason you never sought a Dao companion all these years… was just because of that?”

“What else did you think? That Petal Fairy was wholeheartedly devoted to the Way of the Sword, or as the rumors say, that I naturally detest men?” Chu Xianning’s eyes held a hint of scornful mockery at this moment.

“They are strange. Clearly, I never said anything, yet they seem to have already figured out my thoughts.”

Chu Xianning slightly lowered her head, looking at the faint mist rising from her body. She suddenly had an idea, stretched out her hand, and gently hooked a sparkling droplet from her collarbone, bringing it close to Jiang Huai.

“Aren’t you always curious about what this tastes like?”

Jiang Huai Jr. was struck as if by lightning, looking at Chu Xianning in front of him.

The usually cold and serene master now had a hint of playful charm in her eyes, along with a touch of scornful mockery. Jiang Huai looked at her slender fingers, his head dizzy. Just as he leaned in close, Chu Xianning pressed her fingertip against his forehead.

“Just a little temptation and you’re hooked?”

“Mainly, I was curious… You know me, Master, I’m an apothecary. As an apothecary, I must have a spirit of exploration for all the spiritual medicines in the world…”

“Do you think I can’t hear the nonsense you spout on normal days? It’s fine when you’re sober, but you still try to deceive me when you’re drunk?”

Jiang Huai suddenly realized that Chu Xianning seemed to be really drunk.

Actually, his head was also dizzy, but just now he had been thinking about the story he was going to tell Chu Xianning, which sobered him up a bit. However, Chu Xianning seemed to be more intoxicated than him at this moment.

He was sure he saw a hint of scornful mockery in Chu Xianning’s eyes.

“Didn’t you want to taste my lips before? Now I’m giving you a chance. Do you dare?”

“I don’t dare? Ha, I don’t dare? Who does Master look down on? I, I don’t dare? That’s a joke… How could I… How could I possibly not dare…”

Chu Xianning’s rosy lips were within reach, and she didn’t even avoid him slightly. When Jiang Huai bent down, got close, and looked into her eyes, Chu Xianning didn’t close her eyes. She just kept staring at him, and it was Jiang Huai Jr.’s shoulders that began to shake uncontrollably.

What are you afraid of, Jiang Huai Jr.? What are you afraid of!

Jiang Huai bent down, just a little closer, just a tiny bit closer to kiss her lips. Just that little bit, but Chu Xianning suddenly spoke,

“I only gave you three breaths’ time. Time’s up.”

With that, she placed her fingertip between them, her eyes looking at Jiang Huai in front of her.

“You can’t taste it anymore.”

Jiang Huai’s eyes widened, on the verge of tears.

“Master did it on purpose, right?”

“Yes, it was on purpose.”

Anyway, as long as he hesitated for a moment, she would extend her finger in front of her lips.

“J-just having fun at my expense?”

“Yes.”

“I’m going to cry, really going to cry. How can Master play with my feelings like this? Bad woman, bad woman, bad woman…”

Unfortunately, whining and acting spoiled seemed to have no effect on the currently drunk Chu Xianning. She just gave him a faint look, pushed his body away a bit, then sat up, leaning against the bed.

The quilt slipped down a bit. She stretched out her hand, gently hooked up a sparkling droplet from her collarbone with her fingertip, and brought it close to Jiang Huai’s face again, her eyes looking at him with disdain and amusement.

“Huh, want to taste it?”

“I want to taste Master’s lips.”

“Not allowed.”

“…”

“When I say no, it means no.”

Chu Xianning crossed her arms and looked at him indifferently.

“Do you think just because you got me drunk, you can do whatever you want?”

Chu Xianning’s cold voice was decisive, cutting off any thoughts Jiang Huai Jr. had of whining and acting spoiled. Jiang Huai looked into Chu Xianning’s cold eyes.

“Then, then I’ll taste it myself… without Master’s fingertip picking it up.”

“Three.”

“Two.”

Chu Xianning suddenly started counting down, and Jiang Huai only reacted at the last second. He hurriedly leaned in, reached out, and gently grabbed Chu Xianning’s wrist that was hugging her chest.

As a result, Chu Xianning’s hands were raised high by him, and his lips truly landed on Chu Xianning’s slender collarbone. Chu Xianning did not struggle or push him away.

He kissed her!

He actually kissed her!

It was at a time when Master was still relatively sober, when Master actively agreed… He kissed her!

Jiang Huai Jr. felt as if fireworks were bursting in his heart, and he even licked it with the tip of his tongue for a moment. It seemed like he could really taste the sweet floral fragrance, which made him greedily want to kiss her a bit longer.

“Scoundrel.”

Chu Xianning’s cold voice rang in his ear.

She was not embarrassed or angry, just uttered such a low, cold curse. Even though her wrists were raised high, even though it looked like she was being humiliated by Jiang Huai, her eyes were still cold and proud.

Jiang Huai’s head was burning hot, and a sudden desire rose from the bottom of his heart.

If he went a bit further now, could he bite off Chu Xianning’s bathrobe with his teeth, causing her clothes to fall further down, revealing her full and tender mounds?

And could he then take the opportunity to kiss Chu Xianning’s tender mounds?

The drunk Chu Xianning was so abnormal, maybe she wouldn’t get angry?

No, no.

Yes.

No.

Yes!

No, no!

In the end, Jiang Huai still raised his head. He let go of Chu Xianning’s wrist that he was holding, and Chu Xianning still looked at him with cold eyes.

He looked at Chu Xianning’s eyes uneasily, worried that Chu Xianning might be angry, but Chu Xianning just stretched out her hand, gently lifted his chin.

“Not continuing to kiss?”

“Scared… that Master will get angry.”

“What if I tell you that I won’t be angry tonight?”

“Then… another kiss?”

“You missed it. Once you miss it, there’s no more chance.”

“Will there be a next time?”

“No, there won’t.”

“Master, you’re not saying this just to keep me awake tonight on purpose, are you?” Jiang Huai gazed at her with a wistful look.

“Yes, I’m feeling very uncomfortable right now, so I won’t let you have it easy either.”

“This doesn’t sound like Master at all.”

“Why should it sound like me? Chu Xianning is Chu Xianning, never just the Chu Xianning you think you know.”

“No, I mean… Master is so tempting tonight, my heart is melting.” Jiang Huai looked into Chu Xianning’s cold eyes.

“Right now, I really want to kiss Master’s lips.”

“You can’t.”

“Just one kiss and I’ll do anything, whatever Master wants me to do…”

“You can’t.”

“I won’t be able to sleep…”

“That’s even better.”

“Alright, alright, then no kissing. Master should sleep early.”

“Don’t you worry about it.”

“I have one more question, Master.”

“Speak.”

“If, I mean if… I had really kissed you just now, what would Master do?”

“I would slap you and tell you to get out.”

“Heh, that means I win again, I didn’t get slapped.” Jiang Huai Jr. laughed, and Chu Xianning, looking at his cheeky appearance, fell silent for a moment and then chuckled.

Jiang Huai was startled.

He looked at the shallow dimples on Chu Xianning’s cheeks, at her bright and clear eyes, and in that instant, it seemed like all his desires flooded his mind. Suddenly, he leaned in and lightly touched Chu Xianning’s lips.

Just a fleeting touch.

Chu Xianning fell silent for a moment, held her breath, and then parted her lips, lifting her gaze.

“Have you kissed enough?”

“Ready to be beaten to death, goodnight Master,” Jiang Huai’s voice trembled.

Chu Xianning’s fist was pressed against his abdomen, clenched, and then she threw a punch.

In the next instant, with a loud bang, Jiang Huai was sent flying out of Chu Xianning’s room and landed on the old locust tree in the courtyard, nearly breaking it.

Jiang Huai cried in pain, yet he was still overjoyed. After a while, he struggled to get up, took two healing pills, and went to Chu Xianning’s door.

“Then… I’ll close the door for Master.”

“Sleep well,” Chu Xianning’s voice was inexplicably gentle at this moment.

Jiang Huai gently closed the door for her, gasping in pain but happily hopping back to his room.
