Chapter 101 The Metaphysics Master's Fiancée 18
Seeing how seriously she was speaking, Jiang Yiqing suddenly found it amusing, walked over, and hugged Luo Shuyu tightly, saying...
Seeing how seriously she spoke, Jiang Yiqing suddenly found it amusing. She walked over, hugged Luo Shuyu tightly, and said, "Sister Luo, you're amazing! Thank you!"
"..." Luo Shuyu initially wanted to withdraw her arm, at a loss for what to do about Jiang Yiqing's sudden approach, but when she saw Jiang Yiqing's triumphant smile, she knew that she was doing it on purpose. If she was shy, wouldn't that be exactly what this little fox wanted?
So she savored the fragrance emanating from the girl, hugged the fluffy little animal-like girl, tightened her arms, and pulled her into her embrace.
Finding herself locked in Luo's arms, Jiang Yiqing was somewhat surprised. She raised her face, and the two of them were now very close without her realizing it. She said, "Sister Luo?"
"Yi Qing, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually quite restrained." Luo Shuyu looked quietly into her eyes and said, "Don't test my patience."
Having her thoughts exposed, Jiang Yiqing became much more obedient and asked, "Sister Luo, even someone as pure and immaculate as ice and snow can have impulsive and restrained thoughts."
Like ice and snow, immaculate and pure, that was the girl in her arms. Luo Shuyu couldn't imagine how the girl would judge her if she saw the darkness in her heart.
Luo Shuyu took Jiang Yiqing's actions as her taking the initiative. She had finally gotten the initiative she wanted, which meant that she was not just having wishful thinking and could further advance their relationship.
Luo Shuyu looked up at the sky, and the moon had somehow emerged from the clouds. Jiang Yiqing also looked up at the sky and said, "What a beautiful moon."
"But not as good as you." Luo Shuyu sighed, lowered her head, and kissed the bright moon that had fallen into her heart on earth.
Jiang Yiqing was caught off guard by the sudden kiss, her eyes slightly open, unable to react in time. A cool, soft object was slowly caressing her lips, hotter than fire, and slightly tingling. Each small probe seemed to trigger an endless chemical reaction. The heat spread from her lips outwards, and her entire face instantly flushed.
Seeing that she didn't resist and even seemed to enjoy it, Luo Shuyu deepened the kiss. She originally wanted to stop while she was ahead, but she was just too tempting and she couldn't control herself.
Jiang Yiqing hadn't expected that the seemingly innocent Luo Shuyu would suddenly become so tightly wrapped around her waist, preventing her from moving, and before she knew it, she had completely trapped her in her arms. Jiang Yiqing was finding it hard to breathe, yet her eyes remained calm, though a burning desire flickered within them. Luo Shuyu parted her lips, gently licking her teeth. Jiang Yiqing's lips tingled, and she unconsciously opened them, realizing what she had done, her face immediately turning bright red.
"This is an invitation, Yi Qing," Luo Shuyu exclaimed, as she tasted the sweet and refreshing aroma in her mouth.
Throughout the entire process, Jiang Yiqing was in a daze. She didn't know why Luo Shuyu's kissing skills were so superb, and she felt like she had been deceived.
Finally, she shoved her away abruptly and accused her, "Liar!"
"What do you mean by lying?" Luo Shuyu asked, puzzled.
"Why are you so skilled at this?" Jiang Yiqing asked.
This was Jiang Yiqing's first kiss. Although it was indeed very comfortable, even more comfortable than she had ever felt before, making Jiang Yiqing feel like she was about to melt between her lips and teeth, it also made her feel scared.
"That's a compliment, isn't it?" Luo Shuyu was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't very well say that she had imagined it many times in her mind, for fear of scaring Jiang Yiqing. At this point, she could only continue forward.
She grabbed Jiang Yiqing's hand and pulled her back into her arms, saying, "Not everyone needs a lot of practice to learn something, and kissing is the same, understand? Yiqing."
Jiang Yiqing felt bewitched by her voice and realized she was starting to feel dizzy. Luo Shuyu pressed her advantage, leaned close to her ear, and coaxed, "This is also my first kiss, but I really like your reaction."
"..." Jiang Yiqing was stunned. Was this the Luo Shuyu she had imagined? Such a cold and aloof goddess, why was she so alluring?
"I like you, Yi Qing," Luo Shuyu said. "I truly like you."
Those three words were too sacred for Luo Shuyu to say right now, but she believed that one day she would be able to say them.
Jiang Yiqing also sensed the wonderful atmosphere, the unique fragrance of love. She hugged Luo Shuyu back and said, "I like you too, Sister Luo."
"...Call me Shuyu."
Jiang Yiqing immediately changed her mind and said, "I like you, Shuyu."
The two embraced quietly on the cold winter night. After a long time, they left hand in hand. Although the night wind was cold, their hearts felt warm and cozy, as if a stove had been lit.

With Jiang Yiqing's birthday approaching, Aunt Qin stayed up all night to finish the hat before then. The hat was a bright orange color with two inconspicuous deer antlers, making it look exceptionally cute.
While Jiang Yiqing was out of the room, Aunt Qin put the hat in a gift bag, along with the greeting card, and placed it under Jiang Yiqing's pillow.
She glanced at the alarm clock in Jiang Yiqing's room. There were only two hours left until midnight, and Yiqing still hadn't returned to rest. She shook her head, imagining how Jiang Yiqing would react when she found out. Since Jiang Yiqing had discovered her preparations in advance, there wasn't much mystery to it. However, she still wanted the child to know that someone in the world was thinking of her as soon as her birthday approached.
Just as Aunt Qin was about to leave the room, she suddenly heard a scream from outside the window. She recognized the sound very well and immediately went to the window.
Jiang Yiqing's room window faces the Lu family's house next door, and the sound was coming from there.
"That voice...is that Sister Wang?" Aunt Qin suddenly felt uneasy.
She had been worried that Wang Sao might do something, but nothing happened. However, hearing her scream that night made her very anxious.
Two ghosts also came out of the attic, but Aunt Qin couldn't see them.
"My God, the Lu family's resentment is growing stronger and stronger. Although nothing happens here, if this continues, something big is bound to happen!"
"Sigh, let's just tell the young lady and Master Luo what's going on. We'll have to ask them to handle this!"
As they were discussing, they saw a wisp of black smoke drift in through the window. This black smoke seemed to have a strange effect that could cause people to faint. As soon as they came into contact with it, Aunt Qin's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
Ruoying, who witnessed all of this, almost screamed, but Wanqing covered her mouth tightly and pulled her into the wardrobe.
However, the ominous smoke wandered around the room, penetrating everywhere, and finally found them in the wardrobe. But it seemed that its power was limited. Even though it turned into two hands and grabbed the two ghosts by the neck, it eventually fell down and gradually disappeared from the room.
Having survived the ordeal, Ruoying coughed violently and asked, "Is this what a vengeful ghost is? It's so powerful; we were no match for it at all."
"Fortunately, Luo Shuyu has basically cleared away the effects of the Vengeful Handprint, and most of its power couldn't penetrate here, otherwise we and Aunt Qin would all be dead today!" Wanqing said.
"Fortunately, the little girl isn't here; otherwise, she would probably be in grave danger."
"By the way, where is Aunt Qin?"
Two ghosts emerged from the wardrobe, and Aunt Qin, who had been lying on the floor, suddenly disappeared.
Jiang Yiqing was taking a bath. Her birthday was coming soon, and to be honest, she was a little nervous. This was her first birthday in this world. She had always celebrated it with her older sister before, but this year, she would be spending it with her new family.
Actually, she wasn't particularly afraid of the birthday calamity.
"With Shuyu by my side, what is there to be afraid of?" Jiang Yiqing's voice echoed in the bathroom.
Jiang Yiqing lit scented candles and took a wonderful bubble bath, so engrossed in the experience that she didn't even hear someone knocking on the door.
Luo Shuyu hesitated for a moment, then used magic to open the door and came in, saying, "Yi Qing, something has happened."
Jiang Yiqing was stunned. Realizing that she had gotten a little carried away, she quickly extinguished the candles, then picked up a bathrobe from the side, wrapped it around herself, and stood up from the water.
There was a shower curtain separating her from Luo Shuyu, but her figure was still clearly visible. Luo Shuyu tried her best to distract herself and said, "Wanqing and Ruoying said that Aunt Qin went to your room and was then taken away by a vengeful ghost from the Lu residence."
"What?!" Jiang Yiqing's heart sank. She thought the vengeful ghost was definitely coming for her, but she didn't expect it to attack someone other than her.
"Now what do you suggest we do?" Luo Shuyu frowned, looking somewhat troubled. "I think I should go and save her immediately, but this vengeful ghost is quite clever. I'm worried that we might fall for a diversionary tactic, and if its real target is still you, then if I go, you'll be in danger instead."
“But we can’t leave Aunt Qin unsaved.” Jiang Yiqing pulled back the shower curtain and said, “Although I don’t know what the Vengeful Handprint is, even a single handprint is this powerful, and it directly took Aunt Qin away. If anything happens to Aunt Qin… I…”
Jiang Yiqing felt that the heat in the bathroom was too intense. She had gotten up in a hurry, and hearing such an anxious matter made her feel extremely agitated, and she felt like she was about to faint.
Seeing that she could barely stand and suddenly fell down in front of her, Luo Shuyu quickly reached out to support her and let her fall into her arms.
Jiang Yiqing held her forehead with her hand, shook her head to fully wake herself up, and said, "I'm fine, Shuyu. How about this, let's go find Aunt Qin together."
“The enemy is in the shadows. I’m worried that if I go, I’ll be caught in a trap. How can I trust you to take such an adventure? Besides, I’m quite concerned about your health.” Luo Shuyu held Jiang Yiqing’s wrist and realized that although the handprint hadn’t had a significant impact on her, the lingering resentment was still putting a strain on Jiang Yiqing’s body.
You don't usually notice it, but when it comes to a critical moment, you realize how weak she really is.
“This is the worst-case scenario.” Luo Shuyu sighed. “I thought I was well prepared, but in the end I found out I didn’t do anything at all.”
"Shuyu, don't say that," Jiang Yiqing said. "How about this, let's tell Mom about it first and ask for her opinion. The more people who come up with a solution, the more hope we have."
