Chapter 455: Zhao Nishang Becomes “Childish”

After all the activities had ended.

The sweet and affectionate pair lay in each other’s arms.

Although Zhao Nishang was the elder, at this moment, her “delicate” body was curled up in Wang Haoran’s embrace.

Her head rested on his right arm.

And Wang Haoran, from behind, held his master tightly.

*

As their warm bodies pressed together, Zhao Nishang, filled with happiness, couldn’t help but wiggle slightly.

She placed her hand over Wang Haoran’s hand.

Then, in a spoiled tone, she spoke—

“Haoran~”

“Master.”

During the intense proof process earlier, though nothing was explicitly said, both of them understood each other’s feelings.

So, as Wang Haoran buried his face in his master’s soft hair.

He began to “hint” at something, asking:

“Master, if… I mean, if…”

“Even if we weren’t trapped in this secret room… but I still wanted to do these things with you…”

“Master… would you be angry?”

His eyes darted around nervously.

“I wouldn’t be angry at all!” Zhao Nishang’s body snuggled closer, “Haoran, you don’t need to worry about anything~”

In her heart, she silently thought, “Because I want to do these things too…”

“Even though I’m the elder… the master…”

“Being with Haoran like this… it’s such a happy thing…” She felt her heart melting.

“No wonder Xixue, Anning, and Senior Sister… keep coming to find Haoran…”

“I guess I’ll become like that too…”

“Always entangled with Haoran…” What a beautiful future!

Though Zhao Nishang was too shy to say it aloud, she soon expressed it through her actions.

She turned her head with effort, then leaned in to kiss Wang Haoran on the lips, “Haoran~”

—The two, nestled close, began to enjoy a lighthearted and affectionate moment after their work was done.

During this time, Zhao Nishang playfully “complained.”

“When the New Year comes, you’ll bring Master home to celebrate, right?”

Master is already your wife! If you don’t bring her home for New Year’s Eve, Master will be upset!

Seeing his master suddenly acting childish.

Wang Haoran smiled, gently stroking her face as if soothing a child.

“Of course I will. I always planned to bring Master, but I was worried too many people might overwhelm you!”

“Tch, do you think I don’t know you well enough? How could I be scared of you!”

Laughing, Zhao Nishang lightly hit Wang Haoran.

Even such a simple playful gesture filled her with joy and happiness—

Though, in truth, during the initial stages of the proof process, Zhao Nishang had been a little scared.

“It was a bit rough… quite fierce! Not gentle at all!”

“Master couldn’t keep up!”

But watching Wang Haoran’s earnest efforts, she found him more and more adorable, more and more likable.

“Haoran… now… is mine…”

“He’s my… man now… hehe…”

Oh no! This isn’t good!

I’ve dropped a generation lower than Sister Xiaoyun!

Now I’m in the same generation as Senior Sister!

—Being with someone she liked, even such trivial thoughts made Zhao Nishang blush and fidget.

After a long period of affection, with several moments of passionate kissing in between.

The two finally remembered the task of “proving they were a married couple” to leave the secret room.

So, they began to get dressed.

After Wang Haoran had finished getting dressed, he watched his master, who had just tied up her hair.

He leaned in with a smile.

“Master, let me help you with that?”

“Mm!”

Zhao Nishang naturally handed her gear to her disciple.

Then, like a well-behaved child, she cooperated as he helped her dress piece by piece.

This time, they were finally ready to leave.

After “absorbing” Wang Haoran’s “strength,” the energized Zhao Nishang quickly kicked the heavy stone door into pieces, scattering it across the floor.

“Haoran, let’s go!”

Hand in hand, the two left the “magical secret room.”

……

……

Meanwhile, as Zhao Nishang “bullied” Wang Haoran.

Outside, in Qingfeng Mountain.

Deep underground in the dense forest.

In another ancient underground ruin.

The place was dark and deathly silent, without even the sound of insects—at least, it should have been.

But now, in the deepest part of the ruins.

A plain jade ring on the ground suddenly began to emit a faint red glow.

Accompanied by a cold sigh from an unknown source—

“…Finally awakened…”

“How long have I ‘slept’… ten years… or twenty?”

Or perhaps even longer?

A noble figure, suddenly appearing beside the jade ring, murmured to herself.

“My Dao laws… still haven’t fully recovered…”

Looking at her ethereal form, which had already faded slightly after just a moment, she frowned—

“No choice…”

“I’ll have to go back and ‘rest’ again.”

In the next moment, the woman’s figure disappeared once more.

The ruins returned to their previous silence.

Leaving only a jade ring engraved with the character “Xue” quietly lying on the ground.
