In the courtyard, snowflakes, like crystalline, translucent flower petals, swayed gently as they landed on the eaves of the pavilions and towers.
Though it was Mysterious Winter, some spirit flowers in the garden, capable of absorbing Spiritual Energy, were still blooming vibrantly and beautifully. The verdant spirit grasses were even more tender, unafraid of the cold winter.
Just then, a three-tailed fox, stepping with an elegant gait, slowly strolled into the garden. She lifted her pink, delicate nose and sniffed gently. Her fluffy little paws pawed a few times at the most vibrantly colored spirit flower.
The little fox Yingying reached a conclusion. The petals of this spirit flower were not only stunningly beautiful but also emitted a refined, elegant fragrance. It probably wouldn’t taste bad if eaten.
Of course, she wasn’t hungry right now, so she simply nestled down in this fragrant, pleasant garden for a nap. When she got hungry, she would come and taste it.
“Ding-dong… Ding-dong…”
In the Orchid Pavilion, the maidservant Qing’er was playing the “Dream Return Immortal Chant.”
Its sound was like lofty mountains and flowing water, urgent at times, leisurely at others, with rising and falling cadences that intoxicated the listener, making it hard to break free.
Just like this, like a clear breeze and bright moon, like a murmuring stream, and then like the breaking dawn, the sound of the zither gradually rose to a high, stirring pitch.
After the high and stirring pitch, the lingering resonance lingered for a long time. The tune gradually smoothed out again, resembling the languid feeling after just experiencing a great battle.
“Boom!”
“Drip, drip, drip…”
Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded. Dark clouds gathered on the horizon, and soon, a torrential downpour began.
“Yingying…”
The little fox, who had just been about to nap, felt that chill and instantly transformed into a streak of white light, darting toward the pavilion.
The crystalline raindrops, carrying a cold intent, fell upon every corner of Xiaoxiang Elegant Garden and upon the petals of the gorgeous spirit flowers.
A cold wind rose. The spiritual plants and trees in the courtyard were blown to and fro. Dewdrops began to condense on the stems and leaves of the spirit flowers and grasses, looking moist and bright, exceptionally crystalline and translucent.
The air, bathed in rain, was especially fresh. The soil in the garden, nourished by the rainwater, became muddy and damp. The faint fragrance of the spirit plants and flowers was now mingled with the unique scent of rain.
Suddenly, the little fox Yingying’s delicate ears twitched. She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but at the very moment the rain intensified, she seemed to have heard an extremely soft, alluring, and flirtatious moan.
Inexplicably, the little fox thought of the word “happiness.”
This was a word Deng Tianyu had taught her, saying that every time she ate delicious food, she was as happy as a pig!
The little fox admitted she was very happy when eating Purple Jade Marrow, but she did not admit to being like a pig.
However, she quickly forgot about this matter related to happiness.
“Yingying?”
It was because the heavy rain before her stopped as suddenly as it had started. Moreover, a curved, seven-colored rainbow appeared. The little fox wanted to reach out her paw to grab it, but she couldn’t reach it no matter what. She was instantly puzzled.
Meanwhile, within the boudoir.
Silk blankets and a snow-white palace dress had been torn to shreds, scattered messily on the floor.
Besides these shreds, there were also strips of ink-colored, silk-woven cloth strewn among them.
This silk-woven cloth was precisely the material for the newfangled undergarments that had been all the rage in recent days.
On the soft divan, Qu Qirong’s beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of watery mist. Her dark, delicate brows trembled from time to time. Her complexion was flushed, and her breathing was still a bit rapid.
And the snow-white palace dress that should have covered her voluptuous body had already been utterly destroyed under the powerful Sword Intent’s fallout.
Right now, she was completely stark naked. Her trembling, proud peaks quivered before her chest. It was unimaginable how alluring the pink nipples at their tips were.
However, this exquisitely beautiful, naked body was only exposed for an instant before she hurriedly covered it up in panic.
Only her snow-white neck hollow and half of her fragrant shoulders were exposed. A layer of fine, fragrant sweat could be seen on her crystal-clear skin, making it look watery and lustrous.
Beneath the full-moon-like contours of her full, round peach bottom, her flawless, beautiful feet had perfectly rounded heels. Her arches were delicate and snow-tender. Her orchid-like toes were crystal clear, revealing a pinkish blush. However, they still trembled from time to time, as if the lingering sensations hadn’t dissipated.
A pair of arms, rivaling frost and snow, were still tightly hugging someone’s head, burying it deeply into the valley of her snowy peaks.
“Tianyu~ You are not allowed to open your eyes!”
“Otherwise… otherwise, Aunt Rong… will… will ignore you from now on!”
Qu Qirong’s face was full of shame-flushed red, her ears burning hot. Her voice was halting and carried an extremely cloying tremor.
“Aunt Rong, I can’t see anything right now!”
Buried amidst the pair of round, plump, and perfectly ripe-peach-like, full, and towering huge breasts on her chest, with a rich, milky fragrance swirling at his nose, Deng Tianyu said in a muffled voice.
“Let me catch my breath…”
Qu Qirong felt her entire body limp and powerless, unable to move even a single finger.
In this situation, she should actually put on clothes first to cover her body.
Given her condition, she could not dress herself. That was why she told Deng Tianyu not to open his eyes.
A slightly familiar, delicate fragrance of peach blossoms drifted to his nose. A sense of restlessness stirred within Deng Tianyu, but he didn’t speak again, lest the atmosphere become even more awkward.
He hadn’t expected that such an embarrassing incident would occur in the end.
Last time, when blending the Spring Vitality Sword Intent and Winter Hiding Sword Intent to remove the Heart-Controlling Gu, such an accident hadn’t happened.
Perhaps it was because the Summer Growth Sword Intent was too violent.
When the Sword Intent intensified, the overflowing violent aura had actually torn the silk blanket on the divan to shreds, along with the clothing in the Dantian area, creating the current awkward predicament.
Of course, if it were just that, it might still be salvageable.
The crucial point was that after the Spring Vitality Sword Intent and Summer Growth Sword Intent surged, the temperature of his palm rose high. That scorching, violent intent also shuddered violently.
So much so that Qu Qirong also failed to endure the erosion of the Sword Intent and actually climaxed right in front of him!
Thankfully, in that critical moment, Deng Tianyu had already absorbed the extracted trace of Baleful Yang Energy into his own body and also used the blended Sword Intents to seal the gap in the restriction, preventing the Sleep-Sealing Curse Mark from erupting.
On the soft divan, Qu Qirong, holding Deng Tianyu, lowered her head, staring at him in a daze. Her expression was three parts shyness, three parts resentment, and four parts of an indescribable, strange emotion.
She clearly knew that he must have noticed what happened just now!
Right now, her identity as a gentle and loving elder had been shattered in that moment. She didn’t know how to face Deng Tianyu.
“Aunt Rong, just now, it might have been because the consumption was too severe.”
“My consciousness was scattered for a long time. I didn’t wake up until you called me just now.”
The plump, soft, and smooth sensation against his face made Deng Tianyu’s lower body stir restlessly. He sighed softly.
He also understood the current awkward situation. If it persisted, Aunt Rong would likely only overthink things more.
It was better to proactively offer a way out. That way, not only would it be good for him, but also for Aunt Rong!
“Pfft!”
Hearing this, Qu Qirong, who had been incomparably shy, burst out laughing.
After a bout of wild thoughts just now and her Tianyu’s words, she instantly felt enlightened.
She’d already lost face once before anyway. What harm was there in losing it a second time?
Besides, Tianyu was helping her neutralize the Sleep-Sealing Curse Mark inside her body, which was why this awkward situation arose.
In reason and in emotion, neither of them was at fault. They just hadn’t anticipated an accident occurring.
