No matter how passionate the kiss was, in Xuan Yuanhan's heart, it still felt far from enough.
Her kindness, her courage, her beauty, her every smile and frown, all seemed to be engraved in his heart, as if they had been there for thousands of years.
Therefore, his longing and anticipation for her became even more obvious and intense.
At this moment, he had no choice but to swallow her whole. In this way, she would never leave again, nor be missed by anyone else.
So he went a step further, gently probing as he tried to pry open her teeth.
At this moment, Yi Shangyun had indeed completely lost her reason and judgment. Her pair of the most beautiful phoenix eyes in the world were tightly closed, and her two thick and long eyelashes were elusive and unpredictable.
He quickly and successfully pried open her pearly teeth again. His eyes slightly opened, and he looked at her, who was now completely captivated, as if her heart was instantly filled with a mix of emotions.
He gently closed his naturally cold and stern eyes, which were now, for the first time in his life, appearing so tender.
But at this moment, she finally couldn't control herself and carefully and slowly pulled her delicate arms out of his warm embrace, and hugged his neck in response.
Their lips intertwined, lingering tenderly. They were in a mountain stream in the dead of winter, their bodies, burning with passion as if they had been lonely for too long, pressed tightly together, kissing each other until they could hardly breathe.
At that moment, the seven-colored gold and jade bracelet on Yi Shangyun's wrist quietly emitted a dazzling purple light behind the two people with their eyes closed, as if it were celebrating for them, and danced gracefully beside them.
However, none of them noticed all of this, as the two were so deeply entangled and inseparable.
Even though they were already so close, Xuanyuan Han felt that it still wasn't enough.
She was completely limp and powerless in his arms from the kiss, and then his burning lips suddenly released her, his breathing heavy...
But suddenly he turned to kiss her earlobe, lick and nibble at her earlobe, and then lingered down to bury his head in her soft, fragrant shoulder, pecking at her neck and sucking on her beautiful collarbone.
Suddenly, he forcefully pushed her back against the thick cedar tree, and slowly placed his large, powerful hands on her chest. The goldfish-shaped clasp, wrapped around her elegant dress and standing proudly at the collar and cuffs, was entwined in countless knots, holding wisps of fragrance. Each loop, each knot, each coil was alluring, each button elegant—a goldfish-shaped clasp concealing the unspeakable secrets of a woman.
One, two...
He pressed himself against her body, and every time his hand touched her soft body, he could clearly feel her heart beating faster and faster, so fast that he was constantly losing control, and his love for her was becoming more and more frantic.
He thought that in his entire life, only she, and only she, could allow him to completely indulge himself and reveal his true nature...
As her heart pounded rapidly, he nervously prepared to tear off the last layer of protection from her upper body, to touch that most alluring and cherished part of her body, her most tender and proud forbidden zone, when his hand suddenly froze...
Because, in the midst of this confusion and infatuation, Yi Shangyun couldn't help but call out the name "Wei Mingxuan," a name that had always filled him with extreme fear and unease, and was extremely jarring to hear.
Her soft call was delicate and gentle, as if boneless. Yet, her eyes were tightly closed, her face filled with a look of utter surrender.
Because of that sound, he instantly snapped out of his frenzied infatuation.
At that very moment, the purple light emitted by the seven-colored gold and jade bracelet, which seemed to be dancing joyfully, vanished instantly...
He then reached out and pulled her red cloak tighter around her body, frowning and glaring at her angrily.
Yi Shangyun quickly felt the sudden embrace and kiss, and then slowly opened her eyes.
Only then did she realize that the person in front of her was not Wei Mingxuan, but Xuanyuan Han; and that the world in front of her was still the unfamiliar Western Qin Kingdom from a thousand years ago, not the 21st century she knew.
Realizing this, she looked down sharply and saw that her disheveled appearance was being held tightly in Xuan Yuanhan's hand. She immediately widened her eyes, gasped, and felt extremely embarrassed. She hurriedly turned her back in a panic.
At the same time, Xuanyuan Han turned his body away from her, and with his face turned to the side, he said to her in a cold voice, as if disappointed or resentful, "Don't worry, once I touch you, I will take responsibility for you."
“No need!” Yi Shangyun said firmly to Xuan Yuanhan behind her while straightening her clothes.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanhan became even angrier, his brows furrowing even more deeply. He thought to himself, "This stupid and foolish woman can actually say such frank and generous words right now, rejecting me without even thinking."
He never expected things to get so out of control tonight. Clearly, Yi Junhao's plan tonight was very successful, successfully shattering his years of composure and restraint.
But he never expected that this woman would be so open-minded about such a thing.
Normally, wouldn't an unmarried woman be extremely uneasy and anxious about such intimate physical contact with a man, something so damaging to her reputation? ...
Suddenly, a strange sadness and doubt welled up within me. Could it be that I had misjudged her, and that this woman's true nature was indeed so unrestrained and unconventional...?
However, regardless of anything else, she had just mistaken him for Wei Mingxuan! So, tonight I was just a substitute for that person.
"This is truly unforgivable!" Xuan Yuanhan thought fiercely to himself.
However, even so, it's all too late now. Since she has angered me, she has no choice in what to do.
Just as he was filled with anger and about to turn around to give her a stern warning, he suddenly caught a glimpse of her lying motionless on her side under the towering cedar tree.
"Yun'er!" He turned around and shouted at her, then rushed to her side in three quick steps, holding her tightly in his arms. He frowned deeply with tension and fear, gently shaking her as he continued to call out, "Yun'er... Yun'er, wake up, wake up, what's wrong with you?"
However, Yi Shangyun's eyes remained tightly closed, and she did not move at all.
At this moment, Xuan Yuanhan was terrified. He had only kissed her, how could this have happened?
Just now, he was angry with her, angry that she was so stupid and clumsy, that after so long she couldn't feel his feelings at all, making him feel anxious and insecure; angry that at such an important moment tonight, with such a romantic scene, she was with someone else; angry that her soft and tender affection just now wasn't willingly being loved and kissed by him; angry that she still couldn't let go of that person named Wei Mingxuan in her heart.
Therefore, he had even wanted to torment her for the rest of her life because of this.
Even so, he didn't really want to blame her; how could he bear to? As long as she could stay by his side, he could see her whenever he wanted to look up; as long as she turned around, he could forgive and forget everything, treating it all simply as her past; as long as she was willing, he would give his life to give her everything she wanted.
...
So, he mustered his courage and slowly reached out to check her breath, only then catching his breath slightly. Clearly, she was breathing; so what was going on?! He wondered.
Looking at her again, I realized that she had fainted before she could even tidy herself up.
So he took matters into his own hands, using his large, powerful hands—the most noble hands in the world—to fasten the goldfish-shaped buttons that he had loosened in his passion. He then fastened her cloak, tidied her slightly disheveled black hair, and finally picked her up and carried her forward.
Manager Xue of Baicaotang at the foot of the mountain stood beside the carriage, having waited anxiously for a long time with Cheng Liang and Yi Junhao.
It was clearly Xuan Yuanhan who used his superb lightness skill to ride the clouds and leave first, while the others had already come down the mountain on foot, yet they had not seen the two of them for a long time.
Yi Junhao paced anxiously back and forth in front of the two of them.
Suddenly, he angrily warned Cheng Liang, "If your master dares to lay a finger on a hair on my maid's head, I will tear his Qin Prince's Mansion apart and shred him to pieces on New Year's Eve. I don't care at all about his status!"
After saying that, he glared at him fiercely with his extremely alluring peach blossom eyes and gave him a cold snort.
Cheng Liang was also anxious, not because he was afraid that something might happen to Xuan Yuanhan, but because he didn't know what would happen between him and Yi Shangyun tonight.
His master seemed to be increasingly fond of that girl and lacking self-control. But the girl always clumsily annoyed him, and when he got angry, he didn't fare well either, not even daring to raise his voice. He didn't want to spend the New Year feeling depressed and stifled.
Despite Yi Junhao's blatant warning and provocation, Cheng Liang was not to be outdone. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Valley Master, you must be mistaken. My Highness just said this on the mountain. Have you forgotten so quickly? Our Highness clearly stated that whether Yi Shangyun is a medicine girl in the Imperial Pharmacy or a physician soon to enter the Qin Prince's mansion, she will always be a member of the Xuanyuan royal family. When did she become your maid, Valley Master?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Junhao clenched his fists in anger. Before he could speak, Cheng Liang continued his provocation, "By the way, Cheng Liang is just a martial artist with little education. May I ask, Valley Master, what is this girl's title? Since you claim Yi Shangyun is yours, what proof do you have?"
"You..." Yi Junhao was speechless with anger. He then glared at him, flicked his sleeve, and turned away, not wanting to look at him anymore. He thought to himself, "Like master, like servant."
At this moment, Manager Xue, with the innate amiable demeanor of a businessman, advised, "Please don't be angry, please don't be angry. It's the New Year, harmony brings wealth... harmony brings wealth. The night view is quite nice tonight, I suppose His Highness Prince Qin and Miss Yi have gone somewhere to enjoy the scenery, is that alright? We might as well wait a little longer, it's no problem... no problem!" Manager Xue looked at one of them gently, then at the other, as he spoke.
Suddenly, a figure gradually approached from afar.
