Chapter 271 I Want to Shield You from the Wind and Rain
The next day, early morning.
Warm sunlight streamed in, causing Yu Xuan's long eyelashes to tremble slightly. The warmth in his arms jolted him awake.
When he saw the person he had been longing for, his dazed mind went blank, and he reached out in disbelief to gently stroke her eyebrows and eyes.
His trembling fingertips slid down smoothly, touching his slightly swollen lips, causing him to catch his breath as the image of their intertwined lips and tongues from the previous night flashed through his mind.
"It wasn't a dream after all..."
Yu Xuan tightened his grip on her, staring intently at her, as if afraid that all of this was just a fleeting dream.
Suddenly, Yu Qianling in his arms let out a soft moan and opened her tired, sleepy eyes, only to be caught off guard and meet a pair of eyes.
"What the hell!" She instinctively threw a punch, but Yu Xuan grabbed her arm. "You, you, you trying to scare someone to death this early in the morning?!"
Yu Xuan's eyes softened as he kissed the back of her hand and chuckled, "Yes, it's all my fault. I scared my Qian Ling."
The warmth of his lips made her want to pull her hand away, and a rare blush appeared on her cheeks. "What are you doing... always doing these weird things..."
Yu Xuan paused for a moment, then chuckled, "What's strange about it?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Qianling sat up and turned her back, her lustrous earlobes looking delicate and alluring, with an embarrassed expression. "Anyway... it's just weird."
For a moment she couldn't explain it, but when their lips met, her heart felt like it was going to explode, and she felt completely uncomfortable.
"In short, you're not allowed to treat me like that again!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xuan's eyes darkened slightly. After a moment of silence, he said, "What if I insist?"
"you--!"
Looking at his expression, Yu Qianling clenched her fists and muttered softly, "...Wasn't it good the way we were before?"
"No..." Yu Xuan's voice was a little hoarse. He reached out and cupped her cheeks, saying each word clearly, "Qian Ling, I like you!"
"What?!" Yu Qianling's eyes widened in astonishment, her mouth opened but she couldn't utter a word.
She used to be so engrossed in cultivation that she never thought about anything between men and women, let alone that it would happen to her, since men all like gentle and charming girls.
"You...you must have made a mistake..."
"What's wrong?"
"You like me? Look at me, I'm usually so crude and vulgar, how can I compare to those elegant fairies..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xuan's eyes softened. He twirled her fiery red hair with his fingertips, then rubbed it against his lips for a moment before chuckling, "But I just love you just the way you are. I want to hold you every day, kiss you, and even more so, make love with you."
"You, you..."
Yu Xuan spun around and leaned against the windowsill, letting her straddle him. He tilted his head back and kissed her forehead reverently, saying, "I am haunted by your dreams, I long for you day and night."
After saying that, his burning lips kissed her again. She hadn't felt anything last night, but the words he had just spoken, coupled with the fact that it was broad daylight, made Yu Qianling incredibly embarrassed.
"If you keep doing this... I... I'll hit you!" Her eyes sparkled and her cheeks flushed. Although she spoke harshly, she had a coquettish look on her face, which made Yu Xuan even more attracted to her.
"Hit, hit, hit, hit!" Yu Xuan smiled indulgently, holding her hand and slapping her face repeatedly. "As long as my Qian Ling is happy... you can hit me however you want."
He seemed to think it wasn't enough, so he summoned a dagger and placed it in her hand, then pulled open his tight clothes and pressed the tip of the blade against his pulsating heart.
"If you're still not satisfied, gouge out my heart and cut it up for fun."
"You, you madman..." Yu Qianling's hand holding the dagger trembled incessantly for some reason, and his thoughts became chaotic.
She couldn't understand why Yu Xuan had changed so much, becoming someone she felt completely unfamiliar with. Fear overwhelmed her, and all she wanted to do was escape.
"Yu Xuan, I don't like this feeling... It feels strange... It's like I don't have those feelings for you..."
Looking at her like this, Yu Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment. "It's okay, it's enough that I like you..."
"But... that's not fair to you."
"fair!"
Yu Xuan gently stroked the corner of her eye with his fingertips, his eyes filled with guilt, and said in a hoarse voice, "This time, let me love you... I don't ask for anything else, I just hope you can allow me to stand by your side, okay?"
Yu Qianling was filled with confusion upon hearing this. Meeting his pleading eyes, she wanted to refuse him, but couldn't bring herself to say it. So, somewhat helplessly, she lowered her head and muttered softly, "Whatever..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xuan's face lit up with joy. He cupped her face and kissed her, saying, "Thank you, Qian Ling, my darling."
"What are you yelling about!" Yu Qianling blushed deeply and pushed against his firm chest. "Get off... you're poking me."
"Having a beauty in my arms is truly a torment for me."
Yu Xuan chuckled and picked her up, placing her on the soft bed. "I'll be right back. Lie here for a while, and don't try to escape!"
As if her little thoughts had been read, Yu Qianling rolled her eyes and muttered, "I... I won't run away."
"That's good. A promise is a promise. Be a good boy and wait for me to come back."
"oh……"
Yu Qianling sat on the bed, watching his somewhat disheveled figure leave, and suddenly stood up, wanting to slip away.
But the thought of promising him made her unable to move. She scratched her head in annoyance, "Ugh, what's wrong with me!"
After a mental struggle, her feet, as if rooted to the spot, finally took a couple of steps forward out of mercy. But the moment she stepped out the door, she bumped into a solid wall of flesh, and the pain made her cover her nose and hiss in pain.
At this moment, Yu Xuan's long, wet hair was disheveled, and his clothes, which looked like they had been hastily put on, were loose, revealing his muscular build. He looked aggrieved and asked, "Qian Ling... were you leaving just now?"
Upon seeing this, Yu Qianling immediately denied it, saying, "No, no, no! I was just hungry and wanted to find something to eat!"
Seeing his pained expression and disbelieving look, she couldn't help but sigh in defeat, "Alright, I did want to leave just now. I wanted to go back to Peach Blossom Valley..."
"But you've only just arrived... and you're already going back?"
"I was worried about you before, but now that you seem to be alright, I'll head back now."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xuan's face lit up with joy. He stepped forward, put his arm around her waist, and laughed, "Qian Ling, have you been worried about me these past few days?"
"Don't...don't get so close to me..." Yu Qianling's cheeks flushed red as she pushed against his firm chest with both hands. "If you keep doing this...I'm really leaving!"
"Let's go."
"Um?"
Yu Xuan's eyes softened. "I'll accompany you back to Peach Blossom Valley. I didn't even have a chance to explore it last time."
Yu Qianling said, "There's nothing to do there..."
Yu Xuan chuckled: "Didn't you say you blew up your cave dwelling? I'll go help you set up a new one. You can't keep sleeping on the warship, can you?"
"Hey, I'm easygoing and not picky. As long as I can shelter from the wind and rain, I'm fine. Sleeping on a warship is quite nice."
"No!" Yu Xuan grasped her hand and said seriously, "I want to protect you from the wind and rain, can you give me a chance?"
When Yu Qianling met his burning gaze, her eyes darted away awkwardly. "Whatever you want..."
"You sit down and rest while I tidy up."
“Oh…” Yu Qianling watched his busy back, rested her chin on her hand and fell into deep thought. It seemed… it was not bad to feel loved like this.
