Chapter 119 Toothache, Young Love is Truly Beautiful
"It seems that dual cultivation of spiritual consciousness really works!" Xuanqing Snake Woman examined Pei Yuan's pulse to check his condition today. His pulse was very stable. She smiled and said to Bai Yuheng, "His condition is much better now. He has absorbed all of the Fusang Fruit. Once the medicinal effects have fully dissipated, he should be almost fully recovered."
Bai Yuheng scratched her nose sheepishly. Hearing her say that, she was also very excited. She then focused intently on memorizing the further detoxification method that she had suggested.
The Azure Serpent Woman patted her shoulder and said with a grin, "Judging from his condition, he'll wake up soon."
Bai Yuheng also smiled: "Then I must thank you, the divine doctor. If it weren't for you, how could he have recovered so quickly?"
The Azure Serpent Woman waved her hand: "Our serpent woman clan is most skilled in medicine. It's just an old prescription passed down through generations. I didn't think it would be that useful, but unexpectedly, it helped him expel the toxins and quickly absorb the Fusang Fruit... It's a pleasant surprise!"
Bai Yuheng thanked her again. Xuanqing Snake Woman was in a very good mood. Her medical skills were not as good as those of other clansmen, but she always liked to read some miscellaneous books passed down from her ancestors. She just happened to know this method. Now that she could use it successfully and cure Pei Yuan, she was extremely happy. She couldn't wait to open a jar of wine to celebrate that her medical skills had reached a new level!
"Enough of that. Today is the opening day of the Divine Netherworld, and there are many things to take care of. I'll be leaving now. If you need anything, you can ask White Crane Boy to come find me."
Bai Yuheng nodded: "Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."
After watching Xuanqing Snake Woman leave, Bai Yuheng also entered the water palace. Seeing Pei Yuan's much rosier complexion, she felt much more at ease.
She half-lay on him, scrutinizing his appearance; she had been getting by by observing him these past few days.
If we're talking about who knows Pei Yuan's appearance inside and out, besides him, she's probably the only one who would dare to claim second place.
Bai Yuheng particularly liked Pei Yuan's nose, which was like a hanging gall bladder, with sharp and angular lines, like a towering mountain peak.
My fingertips gently glide over the brow bone, the bridge of the nose, the protruding knuckles, and straight towards the towering peak.
"Sigh, when will you wake up?"
Bai Yuheng rested her chin on her hand and idly touched his lips. Feeling they were a bit dry, she dipped some water from the pool into his lips and smeared it on them, instantly making them moist.
The restless hand pinched the tip of his nose, one hand prying it upwards, the other pulling at the corner of his lips, and he let out two pig-like squeals, then burst out laughing at himself.
Before I could retract my hand, it was suddenly enveloped by a larger, wider, and wetter hand.
"!?"
Bai Yuheng was taken aback and looked at him, only to meet his slightly open eyes. He smiled and asked her in an extremely dry and deep voice, "Was it fun?"
Bai Yuheng was so happy that she lost her mind and stared blankly at him, not responding to his question.
Pei Yuan thought he had startled her by waking up suddenly, so he quickly pulled her into his arms. Just as he was about to speak, Bai Yuheng came to her senses and realized she wasn't dreaming. She slapped Pei Yuan's chest hard, her voice choked with emotion, "You...you bastard! You finally decided to wake up!"
She raised her head, revealing reddened eyes, and glared at him, gritting her teeth as she said, "I really thought you enjoyed making love with me in the illusion! And that you didn't want to wake up!"
Pei Yuan's gaze fell upon her reddened eyes, and he felt as if a stone had been thrown into a lake. He hugged her even tighter and used his dry lips to soothe her: "No, no... how could I bear to let you stay by my side?"
He didn't want to see her cry, so he held the back of her head and looked for her eyes, kissing them again and again, tasting a few salty and bitter flavors.
Pei Yuan's heart clenched.
Instead, she blamed Lei and Gu Pingzhi for causing him to fall into a coma and making her heartbroken.
“I’ve woken up, haven’t I?” Pei Yuan comforted her like a child. “Don’t be sad. When you’re sad, my heart,” Pei Yuan grabbed her hand and placed it on his abnormally beating chest, “hurts me like it’s being pricked with needles.”
Bai Yuheng couldn't help but chuckle at his cheesy words, and said reproachfully, "Really?"
"Really." He wished he could cut his heart out and show it to her.
"Listen carefully, isn't it saying it's in pain?"
Pei Yuan pulled her close and pressed her against his chest.
Bang bang bang...
They jumped so fast.
Bai Yuheng bit her lip and glared at him angrily: "Liar."
"I'm not lying to you." Pei Yuan blinked innocently.
"Then I'll have to listen carefully," Bai Yuheng said deliberately, intending to tease him.
Pei Yuan nodded obediently and said, "Yes, I will listen. Listen carefully."
Bai Yuheng smiled and pretended to listen for a while, then put on a bitter and resentful look, making Pei Yuan nervous for a moment. He suspected that she had heard something and asked anxiously, "How did you hear it?"
Bai Yuheng suppressed a laugh, shook her head, and reached out to ruffle the fabric in front of her chest before letting go with satisfaction, feigning regret: "No, I didn't hear anything."
"..." Pei Yuan narrowed his eyes, hearing and seeing the suppressed laughter in her voice. He pressed down on the turmoil in his heart, as if a claw had accidentally touched a sensitive spot. His eyes darkened. "Is that so? How could you not hear me? Shall we try?"
Bai Yuheng raised her eyes, blinked, and asked in confusion, "How do we test it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yuan's kiss landed on his lips.
This time, I actually kissed her.
It was not an illusion, not a dream, and not his fantasy.
Pei Yuan let out a satisfied sigh, the sound of which made Bai Yuheng's ears burn.
It's so unsettling and nerve-wracking!
Bai Yuheng wanted to recite a few words of calming mantra, but Pei Yuan saw through her distraction and pulled her back into this endless sea of desire.
...
Water lilies grew wildly in the water pavilion, their tendrils spreading from the edge of the pond, rippling the water. The tendrils had no roots, floating on the surface like rootless duckweed. Slowly, lotus buds rose from the tendrils, their delicate petals, like slightly open leaves, glistening with dew, some meandering down into the pond, others clinging to droplets, as if beckoning someone to pick them…
Like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful without any artifice.
...
The water ripples and the flowers sway gracefully.
The two of them were drenched in sweat, pressed together, unable to distinguish whether it was the pool water or their sweat. Their hair was wet and stuck together, and the water and sweat evaporated when they met their hot skin, with wave after wave of steam spreading up.
"Are you alright?" Pei Yuan panicked when he saw that she hadn't come back to her senses for a long time, afraid that he had hurt her.
Bai Yuheng caught her breath, let out a sigh, leaned on his shoulder, and chuckled, "Now that I've experienced the joys of love, I think I can understand why some mortals are so infatuated with these things."
Pei Yuan was taken aback, not expecting her to bring this up. Somewhat nervously and cautiously, he asked teasingly, "So, how does Your Majesty feel about my service? Are you satisfied?"
Pei Yuan took her hand in his mouth and kissed it gently, glancing at her sideways, not wanting to miss any expression on her face.
Bai Yuheng raised an eyebrow and smiled upon hearing this: "That's fine, I'm very satisfied."
She savored the experience and even felt the thrill and satisfaction of a rapid heartbeat and a craving for more.
Pei Yuan turned his head to kiss her happily, the corners of his lips curving upwards: "I'm glad you're satisfied."
“Next time I can make you even more satisfied,” Pei Yuan added.
Bai Yuheng smiled and relaxed as she enjoyed his attentive service.
Springtime was in full bloom inside the water palace.
"Oh! You're actually awake?" Xuanqing Snake Woman exclaimed in surprise, looking at the tall, handsome man who was always by Hengluan Emperor's side.
"Yes, your medical skills are truly remarkable. He recovered just after I finished speaking today!" Bai Yuheng was pleasantly surprised and pampered today, and her eyes and brows had become more charming, no longer showing her usual aloofness.
"That's all thanks to your good care. If you hadn't worked so hard day and night, how could you have recovered so quickly?" Xuanqing Snake Woman and she praised each other. She glanced at Pei Yuan and thought that he was indeed more handsome and incomparable when he woke up than when he was lying there lifeless. His beauty was even more striking.
"Today is truly a joyous occasion, how about we have a few drinks?" Xuanqing Snake Woman felt relieved after dealing with the thorny matter at hand, and was even happier that Pei Yuan had been healed by her. So she suggested, "I'll treat you to some of the wine from our Divine Netherworld Realm, oh right! There's also some fine wine from the Heavenly Venerable's collection! You must try it when she's not around!"
Bai Yuheng was also delighted. With a beautiful woman in her arms and fine wine to enjoy, she was overjoyed and readily agreed: "Great! Then we must drink to our hearts' content!"
Seeing that she readily agreed, the Black-Green Snake Woman then spoke of Xuanlang Tianzun to her, saying indignantly, "You must drink more of the Heavenly Venerable's fine wine. That man is so stingy. He won't even let us touch his treasured wines. He's so secretive. Fine wine is meant to be drunk, isn't it? He even stole some of my treasured wines from my wine cellar. When asked, he just said, 'Hehehe, your wine is better, Black-Green. I'll just have a couple of sips. I won't drink any more...'" The Black-Green Snake Woman imitated Xuanlang Tianzun's tone and mannerisms, laughing as she spoke.
"Listen to this! How dare she?! This time I'm going to really taste what her secretly hidden wine is like!"
The two hit it off immediately, neglecting Pei Yuan, who had just woken up beside them.
The only mention of him was in the first few sentences after he arrived. Pei Yuan was dissatisfied, but seeing Bai Yuheng's eyes shining with excitement, he thought that as long as she was happy, it didn't matter if she couldn't see him for the time being...
Pei Yuan stared at her intently, feeling that she had forgotten him after she was done having her fun. But thankfully, the words of love she had spoken to him temporarily calmed his unease and restlessness.
He followed her, foot to foot, back to chest, close yet loosely pressed together, enough for any discerning person to see the closeness and intimacy of their relationship, thus making them hesitant to pursue her further.
That's enough.
Since Bai Yuheng obtained Guhua's primordial spirit, her five senses have returned, and she is more sensitive to emotional fluctuations than before.
Noticing the restlessness of the person beside her, she chatted with the Black Serpent Woman while reaching behind her back to explore his hand, digging it in one by one.
Sensing the momentary stiffness of the person behind her, she turned slightly to the side, a smile playing on her lips, seemingly both a reassurance and a secret between them.
Pei Yuan felt relieved and happily squinted his eyes. Under the cover of his clothes, he secretly scratched her palm and couldn't help but hook her little finger, gently and slowly swaying it again and again.
childish.
Bai Yuheng suppressed the ever-rising corners of her lips and snorted.
But the sweetness and joy in his eyes were incredibly bright, even more dazzling than the ever-shining sun in the secluded realm.
And those little movements simply can't be hidden.
Ugh, that's really disgusting.
The Black-Green Snake Woman watched silently, then silently grinned and sighed.
It's good to be young.
Young love is so beautiful.
