Chapter 258: Completely Exposed

Chapter 258: Completely Exposed

Gu Yueyi felt as if all of his fine hairs were standing on end. He immediately woke up from his lust, hurriedly explaining, “Junior sister, I was confused just now. I never intended to provoke you.”

Qiu Honglei’s voice was cold. She retracted the bright yellow light. “If it happens again, do not blame me for being impolite even if you are a fellow sect member.”

“Yes yes yes, this was an accident, there definitely won’t be a second time.” Gu Yueyi was covered in cold sweat as he backed up in a hurry. Even though the two of them were blocked by a screen, he still lowered his head as low as possible to avoid angering her.

Even though he already rated this girl extremely highly, he still never expected her to be this formidable.

Also, what is the deal with this lantern? Is it something the master gave her?

Master really is biased!

When he thought about how he tried to take advantage of her several times before, he immediately secretly wiped at his cold sweat.

However, there was still something he was confused about. Normally, she would always reply with a sweet smile when he provoked her a bit. Why was she suddenly so angry today?

“Also, in the future, if you are going to escape, then just do it. Don’t treat your own people like shields.” Qiu Honglei released a cold snort. It was clear that she was extremely unsatisfied with his actions on the boat.

“Yes yes yes, for sure next time.” Gu Yueyi hurriedly nodded.

But inside, he cursed silently. Since you are so formidable, couldn’t you have just made your move on that ship? With the two of us together, why would I have to run in such a sorry state from Chen Xuan?

Of course, he kept these thoughts inside. He didn’t dare show them on the surface.

“Just go.” Qiu Honglei waved her hand, clearly not in the mood to pay him any more attention.

Gu Yueyi felt as if he received a great pardon. He ran out in a hurry.

Qiu Honglei fiddled with the shell in her hands, a smile returning to her face.

It was all that Chen Xuan’s fault for ruining things this time. However, overall, things still went alright. She was sure that this man was worth her investment.

…

“Achoo~” A cold chill blew over as soon as Zu An returned to the Chu clan. He immediately released a loud sneeze.

He found a set of clean clothes to change into, and only then did he hurry to Chu Chuyan’s room.

“I wonder if she remembered to keep an entrance open for me.” Zu An gave the sky a look. A bright moon hung overhead. It was already extremely late.

He sneaked his way over to Chu Chuyan’s courtyard. Because there was an intruder previously, Qin Wanru specially ordered an increase in guards.

The security here was already practically seamless, but Zu An now had the strengthened ‘Sunflower Phantasm’. When he really couldn’t evade the guards’ sight, he directly used ‘grandgale’ to rush out. This allowed him to sneak in without encountering any trouble.

What the heck is this? Why do I have to act like a thief to get into my own wife’s room?!

Zu An was incredibly upset.

When he arrived in front of that window they agreed on before, Zu An noticed that the lights inside had already been turned off.

My wife’s skin really is too thin. She must be worried that others will notice if the lights are still on.

He looked all around him to make sure there was no one around.

Only then did he place his hand on the window, gently pushing it.

Hm?

Why isn’t it moving?

Zu An wasn’t convinced. He used more strength.

However, it still didn’t budge.

Is this the wrong window?

He thought back to the conversation the two of them had. Perhaps he got the window wrong.

He immediately pushed another window, but it didn’t budge.

What the heck?

He began to test out all of the windows. Not a single one was unlocked.

Zu An’s eyes immediately widened. Didn’t they already reach an agreement before?

He had just rejected such powerful temptation, refusing Qiu Honglei, yet this was what he came back to?

When he thought everything over, he figured that it should be because Chu Chuyan was too shy, that she might still not be used to this.

But the removal of frost during the beginning period is too important, they absolutely cannot delay it!

He didn’t dare call Chu Chuyan either out of fear of alarming the guards outside. As such, he produced a dagger. He gently stuck it into the crack between the windows, prying the bolt to the side.

He tiptoed his way in, and then closed the window again.

Why do I feel like a thief?

This was clearly his own wife’s room!

Zu An felt incredibly unwell inside. His originally bowing body directly straightened.

When he walked to the bedside, he could vaguely make out a wonderful and graceful body laying on her side

“This girl really needs a good spanking. You should look at how gentle and sweet that Honglei is!”

Chu Chuyan had clearly already agreed to leave a window open. Zu An felt his teeth ache, thinking that he really had to keep his wife in line.

As such, he didn’t say anything, directly getting into the sheets and hugging her.

Either way, the two of them already interacted so intimately in the dungeon. Later on, Chu Chuyan even removed her clothes for him during their treatment.

He felt like he had to be a bit more proactive. Maybe then she wouldn’t resist him so much.

When his hands caressed the warm and fragrant body, Zu An was suddenly a bit confused. Less than a day had passed, yet why did Chuyan’s body suddenly become so well-rounded?

“Dear, don’t be so fidgety~”

The beautiful woman actually moved around a bit, as if she was muttering in her sleep.

???

Zu An was scared out of his mind. This was clearly Qin Wanru’s voice!

Right at this time, Qin Wanru seemed to have noticed that something wasn’t right either. She woke up in a muddle-headed manner, about to turn around to take a look.

Suddenly, a finger shot out from the side, striking her acupoint.

Qin Wanru released a moan, and then fell asleep again.

A slim and graceful figure sat up from the side, revealing a lovely but displeased face. Who could this be other than Chu Chuyan?

Zu An was dumbfounded. He lowered his head to look at the woman in his embrace. She was clearly much more developed than his wife. Who could it be other than Qin Wanru?

What in the world is going on?

Zu An’s brain went blank.

“My mother was worried about my condition, so she insisted on sleeping together to take care of me. I refused several times, but she continued to persist. I didn’t want her to become suspicious, so I could only agree.” Chu Chuyan had an embarrassed expression on her face.

Zu An: “……”

What kind of stupid plot is this? How could I have expected this?!

“Why didn’t you tell me ahead of time?” Zu An said in confusion. He really was scared badly just now. His frail mind was dealt a devastating blow, leaving him in a daze even now.

Chu Chuyan’s eyes shifted downwards, a bit annoyed as she said, “You are not going to let go?”

Zu An lowered his head, his face completely becoming a 囧 character. He hurriedly pulled back his hand. “This… I was in a daze just now and didn’t react.”

Chu Chuyan released a snort, finally saying, “I asked Huanzhao, but she said you weren’t in the manor, so how could I let you know? That was why I shut all of the windows to warn you about the situation. How did I know that you would just barge in?!”

“I thought that you were a bit embarrassed since you are leaving your room opened for the first time… The first few treatments of your illness is extremely important, so I had no choice but to enter.” Zu An explained. If he ended up becoming some freak in her eyes, then that really would be the end of him.

Chu Chuyan bit her lips, also showing a bit of hesitation. “Fine. But you cannot act so recklessly in the future. I cannot strike mother’s acupoint so quickly every time. If she finds out that you… disrespected her, I fear that you won’t be able to remain in the Chu clan anymore.”

She knew that her mother never treated Zu An that well. If she found out about this, she would definitely go crazy. That was why she had no choice but to knock her unconscious.

“As expected, my wife really does worry about me!” A faint smile appeared on Zu An’s face. He didn’t waste so much energy saving her in vain.

“Who is worried about you?” Chu Chuyan’s face reddened slightly, hurriedly explaining, “It’s just that this is something that would leave the entire family in an awkward situation, so I had to warn you.”

“Alright, alright. Hurry and strip already.” Zu An said while opening the silver needles pouch.

Chu Chuyan: “……”

This fella really doesn’t know how to have a proper conversation.

This is clearly just a normal procedure, so why did it sound so strange coming from his mouth?

After an inward snort, she still began to slowly undo her clothes.

She had always been a cultivation prodigy, so she obviously wouldn’t want to spend the rest of her life as a cripple.

Of course, if the one who was applying the acupuncture was anyone other than Zu An, she definitely wouldn’t have agreed to it.

After the intimate events in the dungeon, subconsciously, she was already no longer as against it.

Of course, she didn’t realize any of this at all.

Zu An sighed in praise towards Chu Chuyan’s fine, snow-like skin. Her body didn’t possess Qiu Honglei’s strong fragrance, but the faint smell was still enough to leave him with a deep impression.

He removed a silver needle, starting the acupuncture. He began to help her remove the cold energy inside.

Chu Chuyan immediately said, “Don’t alarm my mother.”

Zu An stared blankly, and then he nudged a bit further from Qin Wanru. “Understood!”

…

After a while, Zu An collected all of the silver needles. He released a long breath of air. “Today’s procedure has been successfully completed.”

He was still wondering how he was going to give her the next treatment. I can’t scare her away, I have to do things slowly.

“Thank you…” Chu Chuyan quietly put on her clothes. When she noticed the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, her heart softened. She brought out a handkerchief, about to help him wipe his sweat.

However, her movements suddenly froze, her expression growing a bit cold. “Where did you go today?”

“I went for a stroll with Yucheng and Hongcai.” Zu An said ambiguously. He couldn’t just tell his wife that he went to a brothel, right?

“That’s it?” Chu Chuyan released a hmph.

“What else could it be?” Zu An had a bit of a guilty conscience.

Chu Chuyan became quiet. Only after a long time did she say, “You have the smell of another woman on you.”

“What?!” Zu An immediately picked up his sleeves to smell it. I don’t smell anything? Also, I already changed into new clothes! As a keyboard warrior, how could I possibly make this type of elementary mistake?

But she still noticed it?

Were women that sensitive towards the smell of other women?

He still braced himself and said, “Did you make a mistake? Maybe I still have some of your mom’s smell on me?”

Chu Chuyan sneered. “There is even a lips-mark on your mouth.”

Zu An: “……”

He finally realized what happened. Qiu Honglei had previously pressed her lips against his in the river.

This damn lipstick is killing me here!

Zu An wanted to run. He continuously curses those unscrupulous businessmen of this world. Qiu Honglei definitely used the most expensive rouge and lipstick, resulting in this type of problem!

Wait, didn’t she say that I could seek out other women before? What am I feeling all guilty for? Zu An subconsciously wanted to turn around and run, but after taking a few steps, this thought emerged in his mind.

Forget it, I won’t poke at this mess.

When he returned to his own room, his body suddenly went rigid. A sword was pressed against his neck.
