Chapter 106: Lingering Charm
By the time Shen woke up, it was early evening. The sun had already set. He didn’t have any further schedule before night, so he took it easy.
By getting out of the gentle hug from the sleeping beauty, Shi Qingzhuang, Shen wiped himself with hot water. He did the same to Shi Qingzhuang, but to make sure she didn’t wake up, he pressed a few pressure points of her body.
Shen gulped a few times as he wiped her body.
Wiping a beautiful girl surely tempted his pure (?) heart, he couldn’t help but agree on this. Looks like rather than always taking a bath, he should consider wiping the bodies of his women a few times. Thinking again, it might not be a bad idea to get wiped either. Who knows, maybe there will be some hidden enjoyment...
Shaking those silly thoughts, Shen glanced at the not-so-small guy who got excited too easily. After changing the bedsheet and collecting his ‘treasure’, he let out another sigh before scooping out a few turtles from the pond of the Immortal Realm. But he didn’t cook inside the realm this time and used the kitchen of the small villa.
He had no special reason for this, only he didn’t want to leave Qingzhuang’s side for long. Although it will be a few moments on the outside world, inside the realm it will take at least half an hour. Which he didn’t want.
As the soup had reached the end of preparation, an intoxicating aroma filled the room. Shen took a sip and felt satisfied. On top of the already heavenly tasting soup, he added condiments made from Drunken Fragrance Fruit. His cooking skills have grown by leaps and bounds. The only things he lacked were high-grade ingredients. But cooking ingredients were scarce in the Greencloud Continent, on top of that he had no idea if there’s a huge quantity in the other continents either.
He had to consider being self-sufficient. The world of nine continents mostly concentrated on martial arts, alchemy, blacksmithing, demon refiner, beast tamer, poison master, and formation masters. Many other professions fell behind those due to their having no connection with fighting and prowess.
Cooking fell in those left behind categories. Not only they had no connection with strength after one gains certain accomplishment in cultivation, they no longer required to eat anymore. Which is why higher level cooks were rare and many cooking ingredients lacked in quality and quantity severely. Thinking all aspects, Shen decided separate a space inside the immortal realm to cultivate high-grade ingredients.
While Shen got lost in his thoughts, Shi Qingzhuang woke up from the sweetest dream, ever.
She saw the empty bed, and a feeling of loss crept into her head. Was it a dream? It didn't feel like it. She felt weird. She never sleeps without a dress. Pushing those thoughts she got off the bed, covering her body with the white blanket.
A tingling sensation from her nether region forced her to sit back on the bed.
Now she could remember everything vividly. Without minding the pain from her lower body, her feet moved fast, as she reached the kitchen, where the nice smelling aroma came from. She found the familiar figure lost in thought.
Letting go of the blanket, Qingzhuang hugged him tenderly. “Shen,” she said in a soft voice.
“Oh, you are up. You should rest on the bed, why are you here?” Shen responded with care.
“Mmm,” Qingzhuang let out a noise as she got cozy on his back.
“A-are you hungry?”
Shen was only on his underwear and Qingzhuang had nothing. Her breast perfectly outlined on his back, including the protruding buds. Naturally, the thing that should stand out, stood. He hurriedly changed the topic to shift his attention.
“No.” Qingzhuang tightened her hug.
“Don’t be silly. It’s getting dark outside. We should hurry.”
“let’s stay here tonight.”
“But I made a promise.”
“...Let’s stay like this...”
“...Er, It’s dangerous to stay in this position.”
Finally when Shen pointed out the problem did Qingzhuang realize her blunder. Her face flushed red like a tomato but she hugged him tighter. Which only served to stimulate him further.
Shen reluctantly separated themselves before hugging her from the front. But his careless action caused the tent to bump on her stomach. He remained calm, thinking it will go down if relaxed his blood flow.
How could things go his ways? Qingzhuang’s hand slid through the underwear, letting the beast out of its cage.
“Qingzhuang, wh—”
Before Shen could say anything, Qingzhuang swept downward as she finally saw the thing that pierced her.
“Wow, this sure is big. I can’t believe this was really inside me...” Qingzhuang said in awe.
‘This is not fully erect,’ Shen wanted to say so, but he stopped.
Qingzhuang touched and played with it before finally sucking on it. She had burning cheeks and nape. Maybe she felt embarrassed but not so much to stop her act. She may not be skillful but had delicate movement. It didn’t take long for Shen to be fully erect, which forced it out of her mouth. The momentary increase in size and girth surprised the hell out of her.
“Th-this...” Qingzhuang looked at the raging beast, wide-eyed. She gulped a mouthful of saliva. It was unknown whether her act was out of fear or anticipation.
Swoosh!
With a sudden pull from above, she found herself in different scenery. Her breast and hands pushed against the kitchen window and her butt stuck out behind.
A hand passed through her flat, smooth stomach and stopped on her nether region. It pushed upward, causing her butt to stick out more. The fingers parted her entrance and she felt something familiar of size rubbing her sensitive spot.
Soon, the thing which she felt impossible to fit, entered her like a joke and she didn’t even feel much pain. But she felt stuffed. Her head hung low and she let out a deep breath.
———
“Shen, we are near the city gates. Shouldn’t we separate our ways?” Shi Qingzhuang slowed down the horse, as she lightly whispered. The hints of the earlier exertions could still be seen from the sweet fragrant perspiration of her body.
Shen pecked on her ear lightly as he continued hugging her waist, “No, continue forward.”
“Mm.”
Qingzhuang only replied with a nod, but anyone could see the happiness on her face. By this action, everyone will more or less know about their relation. Although some rumors spread among the common people, in the end, rumors are rumors. They never held any significant value. Now, however, with this action, they announced their relationship in public.
“Hey, Qingzhuang, I’m moving from here shortly... will you come with me?”
“Mm.”
“Won’t you ask where?”
“Anywhere with you,”
Shen felt surprised and his heart skipped a beat. He instantly pulled the cheeks of Qingzhuang, “You sly,”
Of course, Shen knew Shi Qingzhuang wasn’t being sly. That’s how she truly felt. Even before she obliged his request without any question. Now that he thought back, Qingzhuang started to smile more around him because he said she looked beautiful with a smile.
“Bully,”
As the Emberlion Steed passed by the city gates, both guards looked surprised, “Hey, that was the... Ice Princess, right?”
Surely, they didn’t let anyone strange get in, but still, they couldn’t help but be sure what they saw.
The other guard responded, “Y-yeah, she looked like she was smiling?”
“Y, yeah, looks like I wasn’t hallucinating? It was young master Shen hugging her waist?”
“Right, I met him a few times before. I heard he returned from Cang Lang Country, but this is my first time seeing him after almost a year.”
The other guy also nodded and both went into a tacit understanding of silence.
The duo enjoyed the atmosphere as they rode on the back of the steed.
The night sky had not bothered them in any way on the path and now that they entered the city, it looked even more dazzling than day time because of the different colors of Light Stones. The Light Stones were a kind of pebble, capable of emitting soft rays of light. There were many grades of Light Stones. According to the rumors the light stones of the highest grade had capability of emitting light rays that were comparable to the moonlight.
Suddenly, Shen spotted a familiar figure in the crowd. It was the young master of the Situ clan, Situ Bufan. Shen wanted to ignore his existence but the latter’s reaction after spotting him was rather suspicious.
Situ Bufan looked distressed and terrified. As if seeing a ghost, he hurriedly backed off and lost inside the mass of crowds.
‘No, just because I’m hugging the woman you love, you shouldn’t treat me like a ghost. If you weren’t a piece of shit and so dislikable, I wouldn’t have any chance with her.’ Shen shrugged as he thought.
As the two reached the city lord’s gate, it was time to separate their ways. Shen pecked on her lips in front of the guards before dismounting the Emberlions Steed. “Find me anytime, and if you have any troubles I’m always here for you... And we will leave soon, so be prepared.”
“Mm.”
Shi Qingzhuang nodded shyly and rode inside. She felt more embarrassed than what they did on the path since people were watching now. But it was a sweet feeling, so she didn’t mind.
Shen entered a narrow alleyway. The whole day, he felt someone watching over many times, but it was familiar. Depending on his feeling, he knew it was Yu Yu. As for why she was doing that, he had no idea.
Besides, after entering the city, he noticed many strong auras. Possibly they were for troubles, as for whether it was related to him or not, he had no idea. But if they came all the way to Hundred Miles City, it was safe to assume they were here for troubles. Since they looked calm for now, he decided to enter the Immortal Realm.
In case they ran amok, nor Yu Yu or Yu Ruyan would let them do as they please.
After cultivating Absolute Strengthening Technique as usual, he decided to test his newfound experience.
The nameless massage technique within Absolute Duo Manual, which he felt was useless skill turned out to be a hidden gem. He even named the technique God’s Hand, since it could only be used through his hands. But after today’s ‘experiment’, he had to think differently.
Shen used the technique and transferred the strange energy in his different body parts. The things he noticed, aside from his hands, all places had its sensitivity heightened by a huge degree. Especially the places that contained erogenous zone. He felt there was more to it, but no matter how much he concentrated on figuring them out, he couldn’t explore the mysteries of this technique.
He liked the name, God’s Hand, but no matter how he saw it after evolution, the name ‘hand’ just doesn’t suit it anymore. He wanted to change the name but what if this technique went through another evolution and it turned out completely different than the name.
Then he found a brilliant name. Godly Play, with this name no matter how this technique evolved, he shouldn’t need to change the name. Even if it healed the dead, the technique won’t betray the name. Even if the technique never evolved, the name will still serve its purpose.
“Godly Play, why am I suddenly feeling a bit mischievous?”
Shen mused as he once again resumed his cultivation.
