Chapter 251: Chapter 140: Are You Thinking About Women?_3
"After the dream, the loft is locked high; when the wine wakes, the curtains hang low. Last year’s spring sorrow returns, the falling flowers stand apart, gentle rain with swallows flying in pairs."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished reciting the first half, the feisty young woman behind him unceremoniously interrupted, "What nonsense is this, spring sorrow? I’m more of a spring resentment, are you missing a woman?"
The man paused, not turning around, simply smilingly admitted, "Yes."
Then he continued reciting the second half, but just then, the woman angrily pulled out a purple jujube spirit fruit from her bosom, and with a thud, threw it at the man’s head.
The man cried out in pain, clutching his rear scalp as he turned around, feigning anger, "Who threw that?"
The woman laughed until her eyes squinted, revealing two shallow dimples on her cheeks, boldly said, "I threw it, aim it right at you silly goose!"
"Fine, you~!" The man immediately lunged forward, went to tickle her, and the scene turned into a chaotic mess.
The woman wriggled and laughed, yelling, "Stop, I’ll call for help!"
The man let out unrestrained laughter, "Call, go ahead and call, shout till your throat breaks and no one will come to save you."
...
On the third month, as the Ghost Festival approached, Qingqing was too excited to sleep this night, at last, she was going to see the lantern festival tomorrow.
In the inn, within the side room, every time they checked in, they got one room, slept on the same bed, just like a real young couple.
Except Chu Xuan endured a bit more hardship, needing to tolerate it thoroughly, there was really not much issue.
It’s just Qingqing the girl, always teasing him in bed, a kiss was fine but she also nuzzled, her little hands especially restless, roaming all around.
Occasionally she wore something cool, half-removed clothing, faintly revealing snow-white skin, exclaiming she would "pay back those two bowls of noodle money" as she cozied up, sometimes truly making Chu Xuan unable to hold back from wanting to take her forcefully.
Yet when Chu Xuan actually got riled up, Qingqing immediately wrapped herself in the quilt, pretending to look pitiful, making him reluctant to act.
Of course, if Chu Xuan got truly impatient she would feel embarrassed too, resolving it in other ways...
This night, the two didn’t play such "acting frivolous games", Qingqing was holding Chu Xuan’s hand, chattering about all sorts, full of anticipation for tomorrow’s lantern festival.
It’s worth noting, these three months, although the two still maintained basic vigilance, truly no pursuers came knocking, thus they increasingly enjoyed it like a honeymoon.
However, Chu Xuan felt, having played enough recently, so he said, "After watching the lanterns tomorrow night, we should seriously consider future matters."
Originally exciting and happy Qingqing, suddenly pouted, "Where else can we go? I asked you to elope with me but you refused, always thinking about your Haitang."
Chu Xuan chuckled, "Let’s secretly return to Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace first, meet the master, he has seen much of the world, insightful, maybe can give us some good ideas."
Qingqing shyly yet anxiously said, "Meet the parents? I’m willing but I’m afraid..."
Chu Xuan knew what her little mind was thinking, kissed her saying, "Nothing to be afraid of, don’t forget, there’s still an Ice Sea Demon Monarch in our sect."
"My master won’t discriminate against your demon sect background, he assesses people in his own way, not like others so ordinary, you will know after meeting him."
Only then did Qingqing nod, full of anticipation for the upcoming "meeting the parents" trip.
But at this moment, someone unexpectedly knocked on the door, "Knock knock~"
The couple on the bed startled in unison! They had not realized when the person outside had arrived.
"Lady Saintess, it’s me."
That was an aged, kind voice, just hearing it could imagine the speaker should be a gentle person.
Chu Xuan immediately knew it was someone from the Demon Sect, promptly tensed up while retrieving Six Souls Banner, awakened the old ghost, ready to act at any moment.
Qingqing slightly relaxed but still maintained basic alertness, "Is it Granny Yinhua? Come in."
A woman dressed in a silver gown, her white hair neatly combed, walked in through the door.
Her demeanor was gentle, eyes expressed grace, one could assume she was a beauty in her youth.
Granny Yinhua first respectfully bowed to Qingqing, "Lady Saintess, the current sect leader encountered a huge crisis, tried everything to send me out from the Demon Sect, hoping you could return and save her life."
Chu Xuan’s brow immediately furrowed, his first reaction being: Granny Yinhua lies, Yao Yufei is the instigator of falsehood.
Qingqing was no naive child, she merely sneered, "Does that woman really think I’m so easily fooled? One sentence and you can trick me back?"
"Presumably, you’ve already surrounded this place completely? She knows I’m grateful to you so she sent you first to peacefully persuade."
"If truly unpersuadable, it’ll be first courtesy then military action, everyone will surround and capture the two of us, am I right or not?"
Granny Yinhua peacefully responded, "Just old me came."
Chu Xuan had the old ghost’s divine sense probe outside, and indeed it was true, knowing its fully activated divine sense reaches the seventh realm level.
He then nodded to Qingqing.
Qingqing grew more puzzled, "What trick is this now?"
"Forget it, Granny, you’ve cared for me over the years, I really cannot harm you, we needn’t say more, let’s part ways here!"
