After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master - Chapter 229

Chapter 229: Giving Up

Luo Yueguan was almost kneeling against the pillar.

Her elbows were propped against the pillar, her butt were slightly raised, her slender waist sank down, and her eyes were covered with a white veil. But now she had straightened up, reached out to remove the veil from her eyes, and looked back at the remaining incense on the table, with only a little bit of ash left, but the ruler was still tightly clamped.

Jiang Huai gritted his teeth and went behind her to start tickling her.

Luo Yueguan looked at him expressionlessly, as if looking at a fool.

“You said you were very ticklish, didn’t you?”

“I could stick a needle into my thigh without changing my expression, do you think this little tickle will affect me?”

“So you were pretending to be ticklish before?”

“That’s not it, I’m only not afraid when I’m tense.”

Luo Yueguan said, her pink lips moved slightly, and she blew away the last wisp of ash. She took down the ruler and sat back in the pavilion, her legs lazily crossed under the thin skirt, her snow-white calves swaying slightly. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Jiang Huai in front of her, not hiding the teasing in her eyes.

“You lost, kneel down.”

Jiang Huai took a step back, but just as he thought of running away, Luo Yueguan easily bound him with spiritual energy. Jiang Huai’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat as he began to beg for mercy.

“Can I renege?”

“You have to honor a bet.”

“Then… next time?”

“Next time is no different from reneging now. Do you think I don’t know you?” Luo Yueguan sneered.

“Kneel down, you little wretch.”

“Reneging once, what’s wrong with that? You used to renege too, didn’t you?”

Jiang Huai began to respond nervously, but Luo Yueguan just swayed her fair little foot,

“How about this? If you lick between my toes, it’ll count as fulfilling the bet.”

“And then you’ll record it with a memory stone, right?”

Luo Yueguan was taken aback at first, then laughed heartily.

“That’s a good suggestion.”

“I won’t, I said I’d renege, and I will. I have no shame, I just won’t honor the bet, I’m a wretch.” Jiang Huai looked up, answering boldly.

He didn’t believe Luo Yueguan could do anything to him.

“Have you heard of the Youlan Nourishing Spirit Technique?”

“What’s that?” Jiang Huai was startled.

“It’s a method for cultivating the soul. There’s nothing special about it, except it can share one’s memories with others.”

“So?”

“What if… I share everything you did to me just now with your Master Chu Xianning tomorrow, what do you think she’ll think?”

Luo Yueguan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai Jr. began to tremble.

“Haven’t you heard that you should leave a way out for others so you can meet again in the future?”

“I haven’t heard that.”

“Well, now you have.”

“No, I can’t hear.”

Luo Yueguan lowered her head slightly, her fair toes twisting gently, her pink nails painted with red rouge. Her skin was already as white as snow, and now the white and red intertwined, the red as bright as plum blossoms in the snow.

“Hurry up.” Luo Yueguan urged impatiently.

“No, come up with another request.”

“How about coming into my arms for a cuddle?”

“That’s not impossible.”

“You wish.” Luo Yueguan sneered.

“Just teasing you, hurry up, kneel down, lick.”

“No way!”

Luo Yueguan twirled a strand of hair around her fingertip by her ear, then suddenly thought of something and asked.

“What if your master asked you to lick her feet, would you be willing?”

“Slurp, slurp.” Jiang Huai’s scoundrel nature was laid bare for all to see.

A flicker of annoyance flashed through Luo Yueguan’s eyes.

“Come here.” Luo Yueguan beckoned him with a curl of her finger.

Jiang Huai approached, trembling. She uncrossed her legs and patted her thigh lightly.

“Sit here.”

Jiang Huai paused, hesitated for a moment, then moved closer and gingerly sat down beside her, soft and pliant. But as soon as he settled, Luo Yueguan reached out and wrapped an arm around his neck.

“Look at me.”

Jiang Huai turned his head stiffly. Luo Yueguan held his neck with one hand and pinched his chin with the other.

“Don’t act like you’re taking advantage of me and then play innocent, as if you’re the one being wronged.”

“What are you up to?”

Luo Yueguan released his cheek and, from nowhere, produced a blueberry-flavored candy, placing it on her tongue. Her eyes met Jiang Huai’s.

“When this candy melts in our mouths… I’ll let you off.”

Before Jiang Huai could react, Luo Yueguan gently pressed his head down and moved her face closer.

In an instant, Jiang Huai felt her tongue trying to pry open his lips. He clamped his mouth shut until Luo Yueguan, dissatisfied, reached out and grabbed Jiang Huai Jr.

“Open up, or I’ll rip it off. Choose.”

“You, you, you…”

As Jiang Huai’s lips parted, Luo Yueguan’s tongue triumphed.

How could she bully someone like this!

Jiang Huai felt an inexplicable irritation and stopped struggling. Instead, he began to tease Luo Yueguan’s tongue. When it came to kissing skills, ten Luo Yueguans couldn’t compare to Jiang Huai now.

The candy was blueberry-flavored.

Luo Yueguan’s lips were cool and chilly.

Her fingertips on his neck also carried a slight coolness.

Even her tongue seemed to have a hint of icy coldness.

But the warmth that should come eventually did, the soft and slippery touch accelerating Jiang Huai’s heartbeat. He felt something was amiss but was too distracted to care.

As the candy melted, both their lips seemed to be dampened with moisture.

He could sense Luo Yueguan’s hot breath on his cheek.

This is crazy!

One minute, maybe two.

The candy had completely melted, and Luo Yueguan finally let go of his head. Jiang Huai gasped for air, but Luo Yueguan took out another candy, looking at Jiang Huai with an inexplicable expectation in her eyes.

“Another one?”

“Can you catch your breath?”

“Of course.”

Jiang Huai stood up from her embrace and reached out his hand to her. Luo Yueguan was momentarily taken aback, then let him pull her to her feet.

The next second, Jiang Huai pulled her into his embrace, taking the candy from her palm and bringing it to her lips. Luo Yueguan obediently opened her mouth, her pink tongue reaching out to take the candy, and at that moment, she wrapped her arms around him.

…

“Do you still want candy?”

Jiang Huai looked at Luo Yueguan in front of him.

“Your hands are not behaving.”

Luo Yueguan pointed out Jiang Huai’s little movements during their kiss, but instead of showing any embarrassment, he patted Luo Yueguan’s butt again.

“Indeed.”

“You’re not any gentleman; you’re a scoundrel.”

“Say what you will.”

“I can’t breathe, no more candy, just hold me for a while.”

“Oh.”

Jiang Huai gently embraced Luo Yueguan’s slender waist, his chaotic thoughts gradually cooling down. But as he calmed, he suddenly realized what he had just done.

Damn it.

When did it start that he didn’t feel so awkward, as if there was a strange sense of inevitability?

When did his relationship with Luo Yueguan become so intimate and chaotic?

No, it wasn’t just chaotic; he felt it had already crossed the line.

“Touch my leg,” Luo Yueguan suddenly said.

“What for?”

“Just touch, and you’ll understand.”

Jiang Huai was startled, then reached out his hand, his fingertips touching her skin.

As he lifted his hand, he suddenly realized what was amiss. When he looked at Luo Yueguan in astonishment, she had already reached out and cupped his face.

“Do you want to?”

“What?”

“Do you want to dual cultivate with me?”

“Here?”

“Shall we go back to the room?”

“No… no, no, no, no, no!”

Jiang Huai pushed Luo Yueguan away in panic. She stepped back a few paces and leaned against a pillar, then crossed her arms and slowly curled her lips into a smile, staring at him without blinking.

“You lost… Jiang Huai… you lost…”

“What did I lose?”

“You wavered; you want to sleep with me. You’re not any gentleman; you’re a scoundrel, a despicable, shameless dog!”

“And what about you? What are you? A seductress who flirts with her son-in-law, who started it all…”

“I am.” Luo Yueguan nodded with a smile.

“Did I ever say I wasn’t?”

Jiang Huai slapped his own face.

“Even if I wavered, I rejected you. I am pure and clean.”

“Pure and clean when you fed me candy? Pure and clean when you spanked me?”

“That was to…”

“To make me less proud? To make me listen to you seriously… just that? Not even a tiny bit because you wanted to see me show a longing look in front of you? Are you also secretly hoping I’d ask you to hit me harder?”

“No.”

“No? I don’t believe it; you do.”

“If I say no, then it’s no.”

Luo Yueguan scoffed, pulled off her gauzy dress, and dropped it to the ground. She stood there in front of Jiang Huai, bathed in moonlight, closing her eyes.

“Whatever you do to me now, I can pretend tonight never happened.”

“Then I won’t do anything.”

“Then why can’t you look at me?”

“You’re starting to go crazy again; I won’t look.”

“Not looking means you’re guilty.”

“Then I’ll look.”

Jiang Huai turned his head, but at that moment, Luo Yueguan’s fingertips slowly slid down her abdomen. She bit her lip, gazing at Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai’s breathing became rapid, and after a moment, he turned and plunged into the water with a splash.

Luo Yueguan, laughing so hard she couldn’t straighten up, stood on the shore.

“You lost… Jiang Huai… you lost…”

Jiang Huai swam farther away, Luo Yueguan’s laughter haunting him like a nightmare, swimming several circles with only the sound of splashing water in his ears.

When he swam back to shore and climbed out, Luo Yueguan, now dressed in a fresh, elegant purple gown, stood by the water, looking at him indifferently, her eyes once again devoid of seduction, lazy and detached.

She reached out, touched Jiang Huai’s chest, and dried all the moisture on his clothes. Jiang Huai dared not meet her eyes until he heard Luo Yueguan’s light laughter.

“Did I win?” Luo Yueguan lifted her snow-white chin.

“You’ve won, okay? Are you happy now?”

“Who’s the child here?”

“I am.”

“Good to know.” Luo Yueguan huffed lightly, a spiritual sword appearing beneath her feet. She stepped onto the sword, glancing back at Jiang Huai.

“What are you spacing out for? Get on.”

Jiang Huai approached and walked behind her. Luo Yueguan lifted the spiritual sword high into the air, causing Jiang Huai’s legs to go weak. He reached out and grabbed her waist,

“Where are we going?”

“To watch the moon with me.”

“I’m afraid of heights.”

“Then hold onto me.”

As the spiritual sword rose higher, Luo Yueguan looked down at the hands now placed in front of her chest and sneered.

“I told you to hold my waist, not for your filthy paws to grope and knead.”

“Just kneading, just kneading.”

A completely defeated Jiang Huai Jr. started to act recklessly.
