Chapter 108 Will You Be My Daoist Partner? Master Class in Practice...
Ji Mingran has extremely limited knowledge about human relationships.
After the world they lived in in their previous life came to an end, the knowledge that humans passed on to each other was mainly related to survival, with the rest being about fighting, arming, and so on.
People were too busy trying to survive to think about anything else, but even with all that effort, Ji Mingran eventually stopped seeing any other humans.
Various pictures, films, and other materials were also reduced to dust along with the destruction of the city.
In the process of fighting and chasing the mutants, she would occasionally pick up tattered books and images, which, bit by bit, accumulated to dozens of volumes. Ji Mingran's knowledge of human social interaction was gleaned from these picked-up books, posters, or flickering, incomplete images.
Ji Mingran equated the physical intimacy that Shi Jinle spoke of with her with the word "kiss." Regarding kissing, she searched her memory, turning to storybooks she had read before—fairy tales for children before the apocalypse.
The pages were yellowed, and in several places only half remained, so she couldn't read it all. However, the page with the happy ending was complete, and the accompanying picture showed two people touching lips.
This is skin-to-skin contact. Ji Mingran was convinced.
A kiss involves the touch of lips and teeth. While breathing underwater, although the lips and teeth do touch, it doesn't count as a kiss.
As for administering medication, it's just administering medication; it doesn't really count.
So, in the current situation of exchanging breaths, how can we define a kiss?
Their tongues touched, right?
So Ji Mingran should try touching him; if Yu Tianxing touches her back, then it should be considered a real kiss.
While she was in a daze, their lips and tongues did touch, but since she was not fully conscious at the time, it was normal for Yu Tianxing to reject her and push her back.
She is now fully conscious, and she made the contact intentionally while still being aware of her own identity.
Who knew it would provoke such a fierce reaction from Yu Tianxing?
Ji Mingran recalled the kissing pictures he had seen before, all of which depicted only the two people lightly touching.
Now she's being wrapped, entangled, and bitten—isn't that a form of attack?
Their lips and tongues became increasingly entangled, and Ji Mingran instinctively placed her hands on Yu Tianxing's chest, trying to lean back and ask what was going on. But her head was firmly held in place by his large hands, leaving her no room to move.
Their intertwined tongues returned to her mouth under Yu Tianxing's fierce attack.
Ji Mingran could even feel Yu Tianxing occasionally nibbling at his lips and cheeks.
"Fine," Ji Mingran thought to herself. "It seems he has no intention of letting me go; he's really starting to take advantage of me."
And this time, he didn't even breathe air into himself.
He was definitely attacking him. Ji Mingran felt a pang of unease.
Yu Tianxing is a germaphobe. He didn't like her touching him, so he retaliated in kind.
This won't do. Ji Mingran thought again, she has never been one to back down from trouble, even if he is angry, she won't let him attack her like this.
If someone hits her, she will definitely hit back. That's her principle.
Ji Mingran stared wide-eyed at the dark eyes in front of him, and his passively wrapped tongue began to move, stirring back vigorously.
She didn't forget to retaliate with her lips and teeth; whenever she was bitten, she would bite back, always with a greater force than the one she received.
She can swallow, bite, gnaw, and entangle.
She launched a fierce counterattack, which was also a battle, only the battlefield was between words.
With her hands curled up over her chest, she grabbed Yu Tianxing's collar and lunged forward to bite him.
A slight tremor ran through the chest pressed against her body. Ji Mingran's attention returned to what was in front of him, and he noticed that the dark eyes watching her were slightly curved, overflowing with a smile.
What is he laughing at?
He was pleased that she retaliated? For the first time, Ji Mingran felt that he couldn't figure out Yu Tianxing's thoughts.
Yu Tianxing suddenly softened his bites, the heavy pressure on her lips lessened, and he began to gently grind, lick, and rub her tongue, softly guiding it as he traced her teeth through her mouth.
A tingling, electric-like sensation shot up his spine again, making Ji Mingran feel dizzy.
Yu Tianxing was so focused on attacking her that he didn't give her any breathing aids. Not only that, he would also occasionally suck her breath.
The tingling and dizziness in my body must be a reaction caused by oxygen deficiency in my lungs.
She had to protect her breath. Ji Mingran's alarm bells rang loudly. He loosened his grip on his clothes and instead braced himself against the strong, broad chest, this time really tilting his head back forcefully.
She fled from Yu Tianxing's plunder.
Yu Tianxing noticed her retreating movement, a dark glint flashed in his eyes, he paused, and then his lips, which had been moving gently, suddenly bit her hard again. He lingered for a moment, pecked her lightly a few times, and then released her.
Ji Mingran was carried rapidly upwards.
No monsters or sea monsters appeared during the process, and their return to the surface was exceptionally smooth.
However, no sea monsters or strange objects appeared when I was transferring the Qi.
The sea surface, shimmering with a craggy silver light, is within reach.
With a splash, Ji Mingran emerged from the sea. The night was deep, the bright moon hung high in the sky, its silvery light stretching for miles. The luminous disc was right beside them.
They were reflected in the water's surface, just like the full moon.
Ji Mingran took a deep, easy breath, finally free from the discomfort of holding his breath.
Yu Tianxing looked at her quietly, his usually dark eyes now shining with an alarming light.
After gazing at her for a long time, he finally spoke.
“Just now underwater…” Yu Tianxing said in a low, hoarse voice, “you approached first, then retreated…”
He paused as he spoke. Ji Mingran wondered if he had misheard; his voice seemed to carry a faint hint of grievance.
After a pause, he asked, "What does this mean?"
"What do these mean?" he asked again, his voice filled with a mixture of hope and caution.
His breathing was so light it was almost inaudible.
Ji Mingran's rapid breathing due to lack of oxygen gradually calmed down, and his gaze shifted from the soft, bright moonlight to Yu Tianxing.
Yu Tianxing was soaking wet, water droplets sliding down his long eyelashes as he trembled. His cold, broken, and gentle temperament intertwined with the hazy and soft moonlight, and his exquisitely beautiful face made it impossible to look away once you glanced at him.
Ji Mingran smiled.
While underwater, he became gentler, and to her, it was a kiss.
If we round it off, they are a couple.
She confirmed again, "Yu Tianxing."
She wrapped her arms around Yu Tianxing's neck and leaned closer. He obediently lowered his head and moved closer to her.
"Yu Tianxing," she called again, her clear eyes reflecting his, "I want you to be my partner."
Seeing her get closer, Yu Tianxing's voice was extremely soft and gentle: "Isn't this already it?"
Ji Mingran's voice was clear: "I want you to be my partner for life. But one must be honest, and I will not deceive you. Between you and me, I will always choose myself first. After that, as long as my life is not in danger, all my actions will take you into consideration. You will be my second choice."
"I've heard that when faced with life and death, Daoist partners will choose each other first, but I know I can't do that. Yet I still want a Daoist partner."
"So," Ji Mingran looked up at the person before him and said, word by word, "are you willing to become my Daoist partner?"
Completely stunned by those words, Yu Tianxing stared at the girl in front of him.
She was glowing under the moonlight.
It should be said that she has always been shining.
Whether it was the moment they met, or just now underwater, whenever they met, Yu Tianxing's gaze never left her.
She was so beautiful, so lovely, that every strand of her hair and every single hair looked exceptionally beautiful because of her.
Not to mention her bright eyes, her smooth and delicate nose, and her moist lips.
As he rose from the water, Yu Tianxing's gaze finally settled on her slightly swollen lips, watching them open and close, watching them utter the words that shook his world.
The question, "Would you be willing to become my Daoist partner?" echoed repeatedly in his mind, reaching his physical body and the depths of his primordial spirit.
The primordial spirit, once fragmented into countless pieces, sighed in unison.
Their struggle to return to their original form from countless small worlds has finally come to an end.
The deathly stillness buried deep within his primordial spirit rippled, and Yu Tianxing gazed intently into the girl's clear and bright eyes.
Her eyes reflected the moonlight, and he reflected in her eyes. And now, as he looked at her, the moonlight also reflected in his dark, lifeless eyes.
A smile played on his lips, and the person who spoke spoke in a low, husky, and melodious voice. His cold hands trembled slightly as he gently cupped her face in his hands.
"I do."
The moonlight in their two eyes drew closer and closer, until it merged into one.
Fearing to shatter the exquisite, dreamlike moonlight, Yu Tianxing kissed the ground with utmost gentleness and care.
He licked and pecked, from her lips to her chin, then moved to her ear, and finally lingered in her eyes.
Then it fell back to her lips.
Their words clashed and continued incessantly.
......
"You clearly promised to be my Daoist partner, so why did you attack and bite me?" The person being kissed spoke indistinctly as she fiercely bit back at him.
Was it because of this that she suddenly increased the intensity?
“This is also a kiss.” Yu Tianxing chuckled softly and then gave him a deep kiss.
"Oh." The force of biting him dissipated instantly.
With a slight smile, Yu Tianxing kissed her deeply.
After a long pause, his lips touched hers, and he carefully instructed, "You can only kiss me, okay?"
Ji Mingran's breathing was weak, and because he had two tongues in his mouth, his speech was unclear: "Okay."
The person who had given her the instructions added, "As for your Daoist partner, it can only be me, okay?"
Yu Tianxing must have some kind of talent; how can he speak so clearly at this moment when his tongue is in his mouth?
"Huh?" Ji Mingran was breathless from the kiss. "Okay."
Why is she starting to feel oxygen-deprived again?
Ji Mingran moved his hands from Yu Tianxing's chest to his face and lifted him up forcefully.
His face was pulled away, and noticing her intention to retreat, Yu Tianxing stopped what he was doing, his brows furrowing: "Why is this?"
He looked somewhat dejected: "Just now too..."
Ji Mingran hurriedly explained, "For some reason, I feel tightness in my chest and dizziness. The more intense your kisses are, the harder it is for me to breathe."
"I see." Yu Tianxing pressed his forehead against hers, his expression relaxing a bit. "I'm sorry, I got a little excited underwater and forgot to give you air."
"Then why am I experiencing chest tightness and shortness of breath now?" Ji Mingran asked.
"Perhaps it's because you're unfamiliar with it and not yet proficient. Just like when you practice swordsmanship, your movements will always be a little clumsy at first," Yu Tianxing said seriously. "But once you become proficient, it won't be like that anymore. Just practice more."
After saying that, he lightly pecked her lips again.
Practice more. Ji Mingran pondered, then returned the peck to Yu Tianxing.
Yu Tianxing looked at her with a slight smile.
She was actually quite curious about his reaction just now and asked, "What did you think it was?" which made him slightly saddened twice.
Yu Tianxing's faint smile froze. He lowered his head, nestled against her neck, and whispered in her ear, "I thought I didn't kiss her well."
Could it be that Ji Mingran, with his head resting tightly against hers, was too shy to look at her?
Ji Mingran blinked slightly, staring blankly as she hugged the person leaning against her.
This is the first time I've seen Yu Tianxing like this.
He's the kind of person who wouldn't even blink if Mount Tai collapsed right in front of him.
She quickly comforted him, saying, "That was wonderful, that was wonderful, your kiss was wonderful." But Ji Mingran didn't know whether it was really good or not; she had never kissed anyone else, so how could she compare?
It's good no matter how you look at it.
Ji Mingran held Yu Tianxing in one arm and raised and unfolded the other, the spirit stone glowing brightly.
Her clear eyes curved into a smile as the Spirit Stone landed in her hand, and Yu Tianxing nestled in her arms.
Her future looks incredibly bright.
When Ji Mingran was in a good mood, he didn't care whether the praise was related to the kiss or not, and he just kept saying different things.
She praised her repeatedly, showering her with compliments, but Yu Tianxing nestled his head even closer to her neck, holding her tightly and refusing to lift his head.
She could only continue to praise his kisses.
A rubbing sensation came from his neck, clearly indicating that Yu Tianxing was just making an excuse not to get up, but Ji Mingran was happy to appease him.
After all, she still had important questions to ask him.
