Chapter 12 The Stunning Guest (Part Twelve)
His deep, dark eyes gazed intently, full of aggression.
A hint of lust appeared in his eyes.
Chu You noticed for the first time that Xuan Li's pupils were not pure black, but a deep, dark purple.
It's so beautiful it's almost bewitching.
She lowered her head and pressed her soft lips against his.
A light touch is like a spark thrown into the wasteland.
Xuan Li pressed down on the back of her neck, pressing down even harder, his tongue forcing its way in through her teeth, fiercely stirring and sucking.
With the other hand, she gently stroked down her slender back.
Their intertwined breaths were tinged with the aroma of wine, and Chu You's intoxication grew stronger.
The breath, too quick to be swallowed, escaped to his lips, turning into intermittent, light gasps.
"Hmm..."
The sounds of water mingled, making it impossible to tell where they were coming from.
Chu You's consciousness was almost melting into this endless entanglement. Just when she was almost suffocating, Xuan Li finally let go.
He gently stroked her slightly swollen, rosy lips with his fingertips, wiping away the moisture, his voice low and husky:
"Youyou, do it yourself."
Chu You's fingers went limp as she gripped his collar, her heart pounding wildly, her cheeks and ears burning, and her head spinning.
Entertainment options are scarce in the post-apocalyptic world.
She was in contact with books the most, all kinds of books.
In an instant, a large amount of written theory filled my head.
Before she could react, Xuan Li grabbed her wrist and pulled her backward.
“Xuan Li…” Chu You felt as if she were on fire, her fingers curled up, and she subconsciously tried to pull away. He said that his old ailment had flared up, but he was very strong and forcefully pressed her hand down, forcing her to hold it.
At the same time, the hand that was caressing her lips parted her teeth, and the fingertips rubbed against her sharp canine teeth.
Xuan Li's Adam's apple bobbed, his eyes darkening further: "Sit down."
Many red candles were lit inside, making the room bright and spacious.
Chu You was like a duck that had been forced onto a shelf, caught in a dilemma.
The intense gaze sent shivers down her spine. She bit down hard on the mischievous finger in her mouth and mumbled, "Turn off the light, turn off the light."
Seeing her lack of cooperation, Xuan Li grasped her supple waist and slowly pressed down. His breathing was slightly disordered, and he explained like a virtuous gentleman, "On the wedding night, the candles must not be extinguished."
"Ugh!" Her snow-white toes curled up.
Chu You was extremely upset and bit his hand even harder.
A subtle pain traveled from my fingertips to my heart.
He had endured unimaginable torment for years, and this pain was like an ant bite, but it perfectly fueled his destructive urges.
Xuan Li pressed down on her waist even harder.
Chu You's eyes welled up with tears, and she bit him even harder.
It was late summer and early autumn, and it rained a lot at night in the mountains, the rain pattering against the windowpanes.
Xuan Li let her bite him, freeing his hand to wipe away his glistening tears, and said in a hoarse voice, "Continue."
The last syllable of the sentence rose slightly, and the voice trailed off in a low, lingering tone, sending a chill down Chu You's spine.
The red lanterns under the eaves, their outer skins dampened by the drizzle, swayed back and forth.
Rainwater flowed down the lantern, gathered at the bottom, and dripped onto the ground.
Whispers occasionally drifted from inside, mingling with the sound of rain and indistinct.
Take your time.
"very good."
“Look at me…”
The rain intensified, completely soaking the red lanterns. Fortunately, the inner layer was covered with a waterproof cloth, so the candles still burned. However, the red tassels at the bottom were completely wet and stuck together.
The gauze curtains no longer undulated.
Tears welled up in Chu You's eyes, she was panting, and sweat clung to him.
She saw the fiery patterns once again, almost covering her entire chest.
"What's this……"
Xuan Li gently stroked her flushed face, pressed his palm against the back of her neck and down, their noses touching, their breaths mingling.
Their lips met, and he bit down on her soft lips, pressing them together: "It's unimportant... Focus, don't get distracted."
A rumble of thunder sounded, and the rain began to fall heavily, its intensity increasing.
The cacophony of rain completely shattered Chu You's doubts.

After Xuan Li left, Fu Su stood on the low hillside for a long time.
He scratched his head, still finding it unbelievable, and couldn't help but recall the scene from before.
At that time, after his master finished speaking about returning to the Demon Abyss, he hesitated for a long time.
As a mature subordinate, he proactively asked, "Is there anything else Your Excellency has to do? Perhaps you could delegate it to me?"
Xuan Li said calmly, "No need, I will handle it myself. Come back and report every three days from now on, during the daytime."
After saying that, he turned and left.
His crimson robes billowed as he paused, then he turned and said, "Find the antidote for the Heart-Binding Vine."
A Heart-Binding Vine?! Fu Su's eyes nearly popped out.
Xuan Li has already reached the Saint Realm, so it's impossible for him to be poisoned like this. Then who is poisoned...?
He subconsciously looked at the brightly lit courtyard in the distance, his mind already conjuring up 108 melodramatic and erotic novels.
"Dump what's in your head," Xuan Li said coldly. "That's just a useful tool, and it's still of some use to me."
The crimson figure vanished in an instant.
Fu Su suddenly realized what was going on, but then felt something was very strange.
In the past, the masters never explained what they did to them.
What's wrong with today?
Besides... even the best tools don't need to be used to the point of marriage.
Fu Su shook his head, unable to untangle this tangled mess of relationships. He snapped his fingers and his figure vanished silently.
*
The hazy sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains.
Chu You opened her eyes drowsily, and just as she was about to turn over, an arm wrapped around her waist, trapping her against a warm chest.
The hazy light outlined her well-defined features, with her long, dark eyelashes closed, casting a faint shadow.
This was the first time she had ever seen Xuan Li asleep.
Even when asleep, his brows remained slightly furrowed.
She gently struggled and raised her hand to smooth her brow.
The moment their fingertips touched, her wrist was grabbed, the grip quite strong, loosening slightly before Chu You could inhale.
"Hmm?" Xuan Li half-opened his eyelids, his tone low and languid.
Her hand was grabbed and pulled back into her bosom.
Feeling trapped, Chu You squirmed uncomfortably. "I see you're frowning. Were you having a nightmare?"
"I dreamt about trivial things." His voice was low and husky, his arms tightening around her, his chin resting on the top of her head. "Don't move."
He couldn't remember the last time he fell asleep.
The pain from the Bodhi beads was now negligible. The body in his arms was warm and soft. Xuanli closed his eyes, his mind finding a rare moment of peace.
Chu You felt very uncomfortable, nestled in his arms, skin to skin.
"Loosen your grip a little..." She moved a few more times.
Something suddenly pressed against my side.
Xuan Li opened his eyes, his dark eyes no longer showing any signs of sleepiness.
His warm hands grasped her calves, and glimpses of fair skin seeped through his fingers. He slowly caressed them a few times.
"Don't you want to sleep?"
A very dangerous and ambiguous distance.
Chu You recalled the loss of control last night, and her lower back ached.
Last night, Xuanli said her old ailment had flared up, but she felt it wasn't her old ailment, but rather that she was afflicted by the Heart-Binding Vine, tossing and turning endlessly.
"You're squeezing me, it's uncomfortable." She wrinkled her nose and glared at Xuan Li. "My body aches and I feel uncomfortable."
Her face, just awakened, was fair and rosy, her almond-shaped eyes were moist, and her gaze was utterly intimidating.
Xuan Li gazed into her eyes, recalling how they were filled with tears last night.
He pressed down on Chu You's thigh with the heel of his palm, and massaged the most sore inner thigh with his fingertips. After massaging her legs, he massaged her lower back and abdomen. He took care of every area that was overworked.
It was like a torture that was both painful and pleasurable.
Tears streamed down Chu You's face as she rammed her head against his chest, desperately pursing her lips to keep from making any strange noises.
After the massage, her eyes glazed over, like a lump of rice cake that had been repeatedly pounded.
The fiery patterns reappeared on Xuan Li's chest at some unknown time.
He didn't seem to care, holding the person close in his arms, his tone languid: "Still sour?"
Chu You slowly shook her head, her cheek inadvertently brushing against the cold metal chain.
It resembled silver but was not silver, and was adorned with a pendant, which was worn around Xuanli's neck.
She had never seen Xuan Li take it off.
Out of curiosity, I reached out and hooked the chain, wanting to get a closer look.
Before touching her, his hand, with its distinct knuckles, grasped hers and then withdrew it without a word.
"sleep."
With the arm across her waist tightening and the other hand pressing against the back of her neck, Chu You was completely trapped in Xuan Li's embrace.
It was still early outside, and drowsiness quickly crept in.
"Stingy," she muttered softly, her eyelids slowly growing heavy.
The person in his arms gradually calmed down. Xuan Li unconsciously kneaded the back of her neck, lowered his eyes to stare at her fair face, and sneered coldly.
mean?
If anyone else had tried to touch this, their corpse would have been chopped up and fed to monsters long ago.
The pressure of kneading the back of his neck was a little too strong, and Chu You shook his head groggily, his hair brushing against his chin.
“Xuanli… if you’re not going to sleep, get up…” she mumbled. “I want to eat locust leaf cold noodles, go make them…”
Xuan Li stared at her menacingly.
Before receiving a reply, Chu You nudged his chin with her head, "Hmm? Did you hear me...?"
Her soft, nasal voice was like that of a lazy cat.
The bed remained silent, but after a moment, the hand that had been holding her loosened.
There was a rustling sound, followed by the sound of dressing and getting out of bed. Then the door opened, and footsteps headed towards the kitchen.
Chu You hugged the blanket, a satisfied smile on her face, and fell peacefully asleep.
I woke up after noon, and the wind carried a slight chill.
Cold noodles made with locust leaves were laid out on the stone table in the courtyard.
The pale green noodles, rinsed in well water, have a cool and chewy texture. Drizzled with a spicy and sour sauce, they perfectly complement the late summer.
Chu You sat in the rocking chair, slowly eating from the ceramic bowl.
The afternoon sky was filled with drifting clouds, and the red silk lanterns in the courtyard, still in use, swayed gently in the breeze, retaining a trace of yesterday's liveliness.
Big Yellow lay down at her feet, its little eyes squinting, its fluffy tail swishing leisurely back and forth.
Xuan Li sat to one side, holding two rolls of red silk in his hands. The silk was threaded with gold, and it shimmered in the sunlight.
This is the marriage certificate from yesterday's wedding. The village chief was the officiant, and each of the bride and groom received a copy.
He put one scroll into his Qiankun bag and handed the other scroll to Chu You.
"Keep it safe."
In the lower right corner of the marriage certificate are the names written by the two people. Xuan Li's handwriting is as cold and vigorous as his personality.
Chu You touched the two names, couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile, and put the marriage certificate into her bracelet.
"My husband~" she said, resting her chin on her hand, a faint smile appearing on her cheeks.
The intense sunlight of late summer and early autumn made his clear, black-and-white eyes appear like a clear spring, reflecting his features.
Her long hair was casually tied up with a butterfly hairpin, and when the wind blew, the butterfly and strands of hair around her cheeks danced lightly.
Xuan Li gazed intently, his heart burning with passion, but he showed no sign of it on his face. He raised his hand to tidy the stray hairs by her cheek.
"how?"
"The Moon Invitation Festival is coming soon. Aunt Zhao said there will be a grand event in Dongling City. Why don't we go there for our honeymoon?"
Dongling City is the main city in this area, and Pan Town and Xishi Village both belong to it. It is neither too big nor too small, and it is frequently visited by powerful families and cultivators.
Xuan Li didn't understand what a honeymoon was, but she could see her anticipation.
Seeing that he didn't answer for a while, Chu You was slightly disappointed, but she said understandingly, "Is it inconvenient? That's okay..."
He got up and walked towards the main room: "What are you taking?"
Chu You was stunned: "Bring what?"
"Aren't we going to Dongling?" Xuan Li paused and looked back. Seeing her slightly dazed, he smiled slightly. "Pack your bags. We'll set off tonight."
