Chapter 541: The Saliva of Ninety Thousand Years

""

Xiao Wu's slender, beautiful body suddenly rushed into Qin Jian's embrace.

He quickly adjusted his sitting posture to hold Xiao Wu horizontally and seat her on his lap.

"Xiao Wu..."

He lowered his head to meet her gaze, her small face a perfect fusion of coldness and loveliness; it was like an electric current suddenly surging into his heart, leaving him instantly tingling and numb.

So much had happened during this reunion that only now did he have the chance to be alone with his Xiao Wu.

"My Xiao Wu has grown up..."

Qin Jian raised his hand to gently stroke her soft, smooth cheeks, his gaze tender: "You've become even more beautiful and endearing..."

"And even better-looking too..."

Xiao Wu's infatuated eyes remained locked onto his face like a magnet, unwilling to look away for even a single moment.

Five years—how long that time was; every day felt like torture.

It wasn't as if they hadn't been separated before after she took human form, but it had never been as painful as these past five years.

Even if they were nominally separated, so what? As long as there was love in their hearts, their relationship could never go back to how it was before...

It was that same old rule: when lovers gaze at each other in silence, and the lips of the one they love hover before them, an impulse rises from the bottom of their hearts—the impulse to kiss.

I don't know who started it, but the result was that they held each other tightly, their lips kissing fiercely together...

Hearing the smacking sounds coming from above his head, Da Ming's entire brain was filled with question marks.

Although my head is as big as a small mountain, it isn't a real mountain; you don't have to start gnawing on my head, do you...

By the lakeside, Er Ming and Da Wu couldn't help but chuckle as they watched Da Ming's somewhat dazed and foolish expression.

"Brother... Brother..."

Xiao Wu was overcome with passion, and almost subconsciously, her cool little hand reached in from under Qin Jian's hem...

"Uh... Xiao Wu..."

Qin Jian grabbed her little hand and pulled it out, their lips parting as he pressed his forehead against hers and whispered: "This isn't appropriate..."

"Not appropriate..."

Xiao Wu's eyes were hazy and unfocused, not yet reacting: "Why isn't it appropriate... We've done it before..."

A bead of sweat the size of a bean hung on Qin Jian's forehead: "Because... we are still on Da Ming's head."

"Hm? Ah!"

Xiao Wu suddenly realized, her face instantly turning as red as an apple.

Da Ming almost burst into tears.

You finally remembered I was here...

"Then..."

Xiao Wu bit her lip, her expression carrying a hint of coquettishness, and whispered in Qin Jian's ear: "My own little wooden house is nearby..."

"Cough..."

Although Qin Jian also craved her fully-matured body, broadcasting it in front of her mother and two little friends—even if he could prevent them from hearing the sounds or seeing the scene—still felt a bit... awkward...

He gently kissed Xiao Wu's eyes and said: "There will be plenty of time in the future. Tonight... let's just chat, okay?"

Xiao Wu's pink, soft lips pouted.

It wasn't that she couldn't help but want to do that thing.

It was just that for men and women, the meaning of that act is different.

Qin Jian didn't want to do it the moment they met because, from a male perspective, it was driven by desire; he preferred to connect with his girl's heart first, rather than her body.

But for women, it was not the same; women often didn't value the physical pleasure in such matters—that was secondary—they often valued the intimacy and sense of belonging that such contact brought.

Xiao Wu was currently impatient to use this method to confirm the relationship between herself and Qin Jian.

But since Qin Jian was unwilling, she couldn't very well insist; that would be so unreserved...

"Alright, I want to talk to you too."

She heard herself saying with a charming smile, while in reality, she was dying to drag this man to bed and ride him...

Though they said they would talk, they didn't know where to begin.

Only the moonlight was dim, spilling over Da Ming's mountain-like head, very serene.

"I missed you so much..."

Xiao Wu leaned against Qin Jian's chest, whispering: "I originally thought I was truly going to die this time... I didn't expect to be saved by you again..."

"Actually, the Star Luo Empire besieging you was also my fault; they were waiting for me to appear," Qin Jian said, holding her slender waist.

Xiao Wu shook her head gently: "If you hadn't appeared in time, I would have truly self-destructed back then..."

"Come to think of it, you seemed to say back then that you saved me like this many years ago..."

Qin Jian asked curiously: "When was that? Why don't I remember?"

Xiao Wu blinked her eyes and said: "That was during your first Heavenly Tribulation; all the Soul Beasts in the forest were so scared they fled, and I was no exception..."

"But I was just a little Rabbit back then, and in the process of running away, I got separated from my mother and was targeted by a Demon Wolf. Just when I was in despair..."

She quietly raised her head to look at Qin Jian's profile: "It was your Love Mist that suddenly dispersed, directly driving that Demon Wolf into a frenzy, and in the end, it hugged a tree and died..."

"Uh..."

Qin Jian scratched his head: "That must have been the Love Mist that was unintentionally scattered while I was resisting the Heavenly Tribulation. It was lucky enough that it didn't envelop you too, and yet you're giving me the credit?"

Xiao Wu's cold, jade-like hand lifted to gently stroke Qin Jian's cheek, whispering: "Whether it was intentional or not, the result was that it saved Xiao Wu's life. How could Xiao Wu forget?"

"So that's why you watered me for so many years?"

Qin Jian laughed in spite of himself: "That was a full ninety thousand years; it really was hard on you... Besides, I'm more curious about how you thought of watering me. Although I am a flower, once I grew to that extent, watering wouldn't have been useful, right?"

Xiao Wu's eyes were also a bit dazed: "I don't know either. At the time, a voice told me that if I wanted to repay the kindness, I could carry water from the Life Lake to irrigate you..."

"Life Lake?!"

Qin Jian suddenly realized, saying in his heart: "Na'er, is it you?"

"Hmm... I saw this little Rabbit hovering around you all day, so I found her something to do, so she wouldn't be an eyesore..." Na'er said leisurely.

"I really don't know whether to thank you or complain about you..."

Qin Jian was between laughter and tears: "Ninety thousand years, Xiao Wu watered it for ninety thousand years, and I drank her saliva for ninety thousand years..."

"At least it was very useful, wasn't it? If it weren't for Life Lake, you would have needed at least another twenty thousand years to take human form." Na'er said.

Qin Jian scratched his head: "That's true. If I really had to wait another twenty thousand years to come out, the day lilies would have gone cold, and my Xiao Wu might have been snatched up by some pig..."

"It wouldn't have come to that..."

Na'er said leisurely in his heart: "At the time, I saw you liked this little Rabbit very much, so I decided to let her take human form at the same time as you. If her cultivation growth was fast, I would suppress it, and if it was slow, I would accelerate it; it would never be possible for her to be ahead of you..."

Qin Jian sighed: "As expected of the ancestor..."
