Hearing this, Luo Xiu couldn't help but laugh out loud, but before he could respond, the bathroom door was forcefully pushed open by Zhang Yi.
Luo Xiu turned to look and was utterly stunned.
She wore a tight-fitting black camisole with lace trim and a pleated miniskirt so short it was almost negligible. Two slender, beautiful legs were encased in thigh-high white stockings, complete with lace butterfly knots at the top.
There was an innocent cuteness that hinted at a touch of sexiness. And within that sexiness, there was a trace of wildness.
As his gaze passed through the rising steam, her enchanting figure looked even more captivating in the haze.
"Xiao Yi… what are you wearing?"
"Do you like it?"
Zhang Yi playfully stuck out her little pink tongue at Luo Xiu. She then approached the tub with a mysterious air and peeked inside. Her eyes widened and she gasped as if she had seen something terrifying.
A look of pride flashed across Luo Xiu's face.
He knew exactly what had startled her.
But he played dumb, deliberately asking, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Yi's face flushed red as she quickly looked away, murmuring fearfully, "It's just as frightening as Qian Qing said."
Luo Xiu proclaimed haughtily, "This is my primary asset… the bane of wealthy socialites, the slayer of goddesses!"
"Tch, showing off again," Zhang Yi said, rolling her eyes.
Luo Xiu asked curiously, "Qian Qing talks to you about these things?"
"Of course," Zhang Yi replied defiantly. "Why is it that you men can talk about women when you get together, but we women can't discuss men?"
As she spoke, she suddenly grabbed a nearby clothes rack, brandishing it like a sword and pointing it at Luo Xiu. Her expression was fierce, as if she had transformed into another person.
"Chen Shuisheng, you wretched scholar! Today, this fairy shall subdue you!"
"Role-playing now?" Luo Xiu asked, surprised.
"Less talk! Behold my Magical Treasure!"
"Then let this scholar see your Magical Treasure… Oh? What's this? A plump, steamed-bun Magical Treasure? I couldn't have guessed, Fairy Zhang."
"..."
From the bathroom to the balcony.
Then from the balcony to the bedroom.
And finally, back to the bathroom.
Two huskies in heat tore the place apart.
...
...
The gentle curtains covered the half-open window. The cool morning breeze fluttered in, lifting the soft fabric like the swaying skirt of a dancing fairy. Bright morning light snuck through the gaps, landing on Luo Xiu's face.
Luo Xiu slowly opened his eyes. After a long stretch, he sat up, feeling completely refreshed.
The virgin Yin Essence of the Profound Emperor undoubtedly had a suppressing effect on the side effects of his Nine Yang Constitution. Even after a full night, Luo Xiu could still feel a refreshing coolness moving through his limbs and bones, calming his boiling blood.
"Mmm..."
Beside him, Zhang Yi murmured softly in her sleep, clamping the blanket tightly between her legs as she turned over.
"So yummy... *whimper*... I can't eat any more... So gross..."
Listening to Zhang Yi's sleep-talking, Luo Xiu's expression turned a little strange as he recalled the previous night.
She was so different from the usual playful and cute little housecat. Last night, Zhang Yi had been a feral kitten—a stark contrast, to say the least. So much so that he found it hard to believe it had been her first time.
As time passed, while Luo Xiu was lost in his memories, Zhang Yi's long eyelashes suddenly trembled before revealing her bright eyes. Although still bright, they seemed to have been washed by spring rain, having lost some of their former clarity.
"Brother Luo Xiu, you're up so early. Looks like I didn't discipline you enough last night."
Zhang Yi lazily shifted her delicate body, wrapping her arms around Luo Xiu's waist and cooing like a little lazy pig.
Luo Xiu stroked her pale, rosy cheek, his thumb gently brushing away a few strands of hair stuck to her ear by sweat. "Little Steamed Bun," he said gently, "it's time to get up. We have to go to the Immortal Grass Forest today."
Hearing this, Zhang Yi suddenly sat bolt upright, all sleepiness gone. She glared fiercely at Luo Xiu.
"Don't call me Little Steamed Bun!"
The nickname "Little Steamed Bun" had been born the previous night.
Luo Xiu said, "But you are Little Steamed Bun."
"You... Little Luo Luo, are you trying to revolt?"
Zhang Yi was on the verge of exploding. Suddenly, her body shuddered as a terrifying aura erupted from her. Her beautiful hair instantly turned snow-white, fluttering with her power, as mysterious purple-gold patterns emerged on her pristine skin. The patterns made her look even more enchanting, giving her an alluring, almost demonic charm.
Zhang Yi looked at Luo Xiu with disdain, scoffing, "Little Luo Luo, after last night's battle, I've realized you're not all that great. You're nowhere near as impressive as Qian Qing said. I feel like I can still take you on."
What the hell? She's already activated her patterns? Isn't this a bit much? Luo Xiu thought, breaking into a cold sweat under her intense aura.
Zhang Yi's expression was imperious, as if a queen had descended. "Useless man. You scrawny dog. Allow me to give you another taste of defeat!"
Luo Xiu's gaze moved to a certain part of her body, and he couldn't help but smirk.
"The Little Steamed Bun is already swollen into a Big Steamed Bun, and you're still posturing?"
Zhang Yi's face was expressionless. "What, are you scared? Afraid to lose to this queen?"
Luo Xiu burst into laughter, his body suddenly crackling with lightning.
"Defeat is impossible. Absolutely impossible! My little brother is invincible!"
Zhang Yi suddenly pounced on him, clinging tightly to his neck. With a mysterious look, she leaned in and whispered in his ear, "I heard you're good at filling things... I have a few vacancies that need attention."
Luo Xiu froze for a moment. "What do you mean by that?"
Zhang Yi giggled, one of her hands growing restless. "Just some... empty positions. Think you're up for the job?"
Realization dawned on Luo Xiu's face, which promptly turned bright red. He abruptly pulled her into a fierce embrace.
"Since it is your request, then I, this Emperor, shall grant it! I'll sate you completely!"
"..."
...
This entanglement cost them another entire day.
「The next morning.」
Luo Xiu and Zhang Yi finally left the hotel. However, Zhang Yi seemed to have injured her legs severely, as she walked with great difficulty and needed Luo Xiu to support her.
The innkeeper and a few staff members sighed inwardly as they watched the pair's retreating backs. It wasn't until Ao Debiao had completely vanished from sight that they dared to speak.
"That Ao Debiao... not only is he a beast in a fight, but it seems he's also quite the beast in bed!"
"Such a delicate and charming fairy, and he's left her unable to even walk!"
"Too savage!"
"A fairy like that... most men would be dying to dote on her. This guy really doesn't know how to cherish a woman."
"Exactly! I reckon... that Ao Debiao must've been going at it like a jackhammer!"
"..."
Luo Xiu could, of course, hear what the innkeeper and his staff were discussing. After all, he, too, used to be one of those idle gossips. He paid them no mind. After taking Zhang Yi for a bowl of spicy hot pot, they disappeared from Sky Divine City.
The bloodstains on the street from two days ago were still there, like the crimson marks on the hotel bedsheets that seemed impossible to wash away. Many of the assassins' body fragments had also not been completely cleared away.
...
"Brother Luo Xiu, what's it like... doing it in the wild?"
High above the clouds, Zhang Yi lay on Luo Xiu's back, gazing down at the vast earth as she suddenly asked a strange question.
"Want to try?"
"Aiyah, let me rest for a few days! I really can't take any more."
"..."
