After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master - Chapter 230

Chapter 230: So soft

Jiang Huai distinctly remembered that tonight was moonless and starless.

Yet somehow, the moon had emerged from behind the clouds, and even the few lonely stars in the sky seemed brighter. Luo Yueguan looked down at the hands on her chest and said,

“Let go.”

“No.”

The next second, the spiritual sword shot through the air at extreme speed, causing Jiang Huai to grip even tighter, as if the soft flesh might spill out from his fingertips. He began to plead,

“I’ll let go, okay? Is that not enough?”

Finally, the spiritual sword stopped. Luo Yueguan’s lips curled up, and Jiang Huai released his hold, sitting down on the flying sword and looking up at the sky.

He dared not look down, while Luo Yueguan sat beside him.

The evening breeze brushed past, and Jiang Huai could smell the fragrance of Luo Yueguan’s hair. The wind was slightly cold, and he sat stiff as a board, daring not to move.

Luo Yueguan also looked up, and the bright moonlight fell into her eyes.

She liked watching the moon on many lonely nights.

Some people find the moon clean and beautiful, others find it desolate and lonely. There are generally these two kinds of people in the world. Both of them sat quietly, not speaking.

“Are you going to Ziyun Pavilion tomorrow?”

“Yes, I’ll set off tomorrow afternoon.”

“I’ll go with you,” Luo Yueguan said indifferently.

“Didn’t you agree to go to Tianxuan Sect with Qingyu tomorrow?”

“I need to clear my head. I’ll go see Chu Xianning in a couple of days.” Luo Yueguan turned her head to look into his eyes.

“Do you mind?”

“Not really… it’s just that I’m scared of you.”

Jiang Huai smirked, but Luo Yueguan reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist,

“Scared of what?”

“You seem to enjoy seeing me embarrassed in front of you.”

Jiang Huai sighed innocently, turning to face Luo Yueguan.

“I find it amusing.”

Jiang Huai didn’t know where to start, so he chose to remain silent. He looked up at the moon again, and at some point, Luo Yueguan had quietly rested her head on his shoulder.

Jiang Huai’s body tensed for a moment, but he said nothing, beginning to wonder whether he should gently wrap his arms around her waist and pull her into his embrace.

What would that mean if he really did it? Sometimes Jiang Huai thought Bai Li was right; he always hesitated too much and thought too deeply.

Sometimes he was filled with despicable desires, and other times he tried to act like a gentleman, afraid of Luo Yueguan simply because he had really fallen for her.

In front of Luo Yueguan, it seemed like all his petty thoughts were exposed.

“You can hold me.”

“I won’t.”

“What if I let you slip your hand inside my collar?”

“You’re crazy!”

“Weren’t you so eager just a moment ago?”

Luo Yueguan’s voice was light, as if there was a hint of teasing laughter in it. Jiang Huai, annoyed, reached out and gently held her slender waist, inadvertently glancing at the soft whiteness beneath Luo Yueguan’s collarbone.

“By the way, have you ever thought about getting a pet or something?”

“No.”

“Like a cat or a dog? To play with occasionally and relax.”

“Will you buy me one?”

“I’ll pick one for you when we go to Ziyun Pavilion.” Jiang Huai turned to look at Luo Yueguan.

“But you have to promise to take good care of it.”

“Okay.”

Luo Yueguan agreed softly, and Jiang Huai said no more, continuing to look at the moon with her.

The two of them nestled together for a long time until Jiang Huai heard Luo Yueguan yawn and say softly,

“I’m sleepy.”

“Then let’s go home.”

The spiritual sword turned into a bright stream of light, taking Jiang Huai and Luo Yueguan back to the courtyard. However, Luo Yueguan looked back at him,

“Will you join me for a bath?”

Jiang Huai looked at her and then ran off, while Luo Yueguan laughed so hard she couldn’t straighten up.

…

The next day.

Jiang Huai spent another whole day with Wen Wanwan and Luo Qingyu at Qingxuan Sect. As evening approached, Li Qiushan was preparing to take Wen Wanwan back to Tianxuan Sect, and Luo Qingyu also took the spiritual boat back to Tianxuan Sect.

Before leaving, Jiang Huai promised Luo Qingyu that he would return within seven days.

Now, only Luo Yueguan and Jiang Huai were left in her courtyard.

With the courtyard door tightly locked, Luo Yueguan sat in the pavilion in a daze. Jiang Huai came to her side,

“We’re leaving tonight.”

“No,” Luo Yueguan shook her head.

“Tomorrow morning I’ll take you to the main Ziyun Pavilion with the spiritual boat. It’s about the same time as if you left alone, so tonight you have to stay with me.”

“Stay with you for what?”

“Stay with me to sleep.”

“You’re crazy!”

“It’s just sleeping.” Luo Yueguan glanced at him with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

“Where did your mind go?”

“Even just sleeping is not normal, okay?”

“So, do you agree or not?”

Jiang Huai hesitated for about three seconds before nodding,

“Sleep, sleep, sleep, everything can be slept through, okay?”

Luo Yueguan’s lips curved slightly.

“I thought you would refuse to the death.”

“What would you do if I really refused?”

“I’d tie you up with a rope, bind you next to me, and then squeeze you ten times with my hands until you passed out. That way, you’d still be sleeping with me.”

Jiang Huai almost choked on his breath, seeing Luo Yueguan’s sinister look, always making him wonder if she really intended to do so.

He was slightly frantic, feeling that every time he interacted with Luo Yueguan, she would take control. He had to admit that he couldn’t outplay a bad woman, but if he always tried to fight for control, wouldn’t that mean falling into her trap?

Indeed, women are the most terrifying creatures in the world.

Luo Yueguan stood up, looking at Jiang Huai in front of her.

“Let’s go, join me for a bath.”

“I refuse.”

“I’ll be clothed, what are you thinking?”

Luo Yueguan walked straight to the bathhouse without looking back at Jiang Huai, as if she knew he would follow. Jiang Huai sat alone in the pavilion, wrestling with his thoughts for a while before standing up.

To reclaim his lost dignity, Jiang Huai Jr.!

Jiang Huai arrived at the bathhouse and lifted the curtain.Luo Yueguan was truly dressed, in a light pink, thin skirt.

However, after the skirt was soaked with water, it clung to her body, outlining her exquisite curves. The scene of her snow-white skin faintly visible under the light of the flowing stone lamps seemed even more tantalizing than if she were not wearing any clothes at all.

Jiang Huai could sense a full-on provocation in Luo Yueguan’s playful gaze. He shed his clothes and stepped into the bath. Luo Yueguan splashed water at him like a childish little girl. An exasperated Jiang Huai splashed back, and the two began to frolic and play in the bath until, at some point, Luo Yueguan’s dress slipped off her body and floated on the water’s surface.

When Jiang Huai realized what had happened, he was momentarily stunned. In an instant, Luo Yueguan moved behind him, her soft chest pressing against his back. She whispered in his ear.

“You’re having improper thoughts again. I am Qingyu’s mother; you can’t do this.”

“You, you, you…!”

Jiang Huai was so angry he almost couldn’t catch his breath.

But the next second, Luo Yueguan’s cold, fair hand had grasped Jiang Huai Jr. She whispered in Jiang Huai’s ear.

“So… for the sake of safety when we share the bed tonight, I’ll reluctantly help you…”

“Let go, let go, let go!”

“But it seems to like my hand quite a bit.”

Luo Yueguan teased, gently biting his earlobe, “Doesn’t it?”

…

Jiang Huai submerged his entire body under the water, unwilling to look up at Luo Yueguan again. However, Luo Yueguan stood quietly in the pool, looking down at Jiang Huai underwater with a playful smile,

“Come on, get up.”

No response.

“If you don’t get up, I’ll eat everything that’s between my fingers.”

Jiang Huai shot up from the water, but Luo Yueguan’s hand was as pale and tender as before, and her tongue was gently licking her lips, as if she had indeed just eaten something.

The more Jiang Huai thought about it, the more frantic and humiliated he felt. Just as he lunged at Luo Yueguan, she placed a finger on his chest.

“I’m just teasing you. Did you really think I’d want to eat something so dirty?”

Jiang Huai grabbed her shoulders and began to shake her violently,

“Can’t you be normal for once? Can you, can you, can you?!”

“Don’t you find it fun?” Luo Yueguan just laughed in response.

“The more forbidden it is, the more thrilling. You speak so righteously, but deep down, you actually enjoy it a lot, don’t you?”

“I don’t like it!”

“Really don’t like it?”

“I don’t like it!”

“Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you.”

Luo Yueguan swam to the edge of the bath and sat down on the steps, looking at Jiang Huai from a distance, splashing water on him again with an upturned corner of her mouth.

“I was actually thinking of trying to comfort you with my lips and tongue.”

Jiang Huai covered his ears.

“Don’t say it! You mustn’t say it!”

“Just talking about it is not allowed?”

Luo Yueguan’s laughter grew even more unrestrained and cheerful.

“If your heart is free of desires, what does it matter if I speak of it?”

“Come and apply the floral lotion for me.”

Luo Yueguan tilted her chin up slightly.

“I won’t apply it.”

“If you apply the lotion, I won’t bother you when we go to sleep later.”

“You swear.”

“I swear.”

Jiang Huai let out a sigh of relief, moved beside her, and took the cool floral lotion from her. Luo Yueguan sat on the edge of the bath, her slender waist held erect.

Jiang Huai started applying the lotion from her shoulders, while Luo Yueguan watched him playfully,

“If you’re still upset, how about you give me a couple of slaps?”

“Heh, hitting you would only be a reward. I wouldn’t.”

“I’m not talking about the buttocks.”

Luo Yueguan looked down slightly, water droplets sliding from her collarbone to her snow-white chest, trembling with her breath.

Jiang Huai always suspected that he could never heal any of Luo Yueguan’s pain; instead, he would go crazy from her torment first.

At this moment, he stood in the pool, Luo Yueguan looked up at him, and suddenly chuckled.

“You seem to really dislike those desires in your heart.”

“Shouldn’t I?”

“Who taught you to restrain your inner desires? Desires are tools for human enjoyment. Even if fulfilling them leads to disappointment, at least you’re happy in the moment of indulgence, right?”

“That makes some sense, but it’s precisely because humans can control their desires that they are human, otherwise…”

“I don’t want to hear a child who is more than five hundred years younger than me preach to me. You don’t have the right. Instead of talking so much, you might as well apply the lotion on my chest.”

“You do it yourself.”

Jiang Huai handed the porcelain bottle back to Luo Yueguan, but she opened it and poured the lotion onto Jiang Huai Jr.

Just as Jiang Huai thought to move, he found himself unable to struggle at all, as Luo Yueguan had immobilized him with her spiritual energy.

Luo Yueguan cupped her chest in her hands, looking up at Jiang Huai,

“Since you can’t resist, why not try to feel what it’s like to have your desires satisfied, bit by bit?”

Luo Yueguan leaned forward slightly, moving closer.

She enveloped him.

So soft.
