Main Character:

Shen Yao

Once some things are opened, it's like water released from a sluice that can no longer be stopped.

Shen Yao still looked like a cute white rabbit during the day, but once night fell she resumed her human form and entwined herself with Lin Xingzhi.

Shen Yao had originally been unwilling, but she couldn't withstand Lin Xingzhi's shamelessness; he clearly knew she couldn't resist his handsome face, yet he used that very face to put on a pitiful expression that softened her heart.

Shen Yao:... Hateful!

But who made Shen Yao fall for this trick? In no time Lin Xingzhi had pulled her into drowning in the sea of desire; if Lin Xingzhi's body truly couldn't take it, Shen Yao would probably end up with a reputation for excessive indulgence.

'Host, indulging in pleasure harms the body,' the System couldn't help but advise again and again.

Shen Yao:...

'Don't I know that?' It was just that Lin Xingzhi liked this sort of thing too much, and she also found it somewhat enjoyable, so bit by bit she couldn't quite control herself. 'Rest assured, after a few more days, it'll be time to cultivate the self and nurture the nature.'

Shen Yao raised a hand and rubbed her belly. Making such a ruckus all day, even if she were weak, there should be some movement by now.

Besides, Shen Yao wasn't weak; given fertile soil, poor seed quality could also be compensated for.

"Xue Ling"

Lin Xingzhi pushed open the door and reached out to pull Shen Yao from the couch into his arms.

During the day, whether anyone was around or not, Lin Xingzhi would call out Xue Ling's name; only late at night, when all was quiet, would the two characters Yao Niang leave Lin Xingzhi's lips.

Shen Yao moved her three-lipped mouth, nuzzling and kissing Lin Xingzhi's neck; the faint fragrance on him delighted her, and she couldn't help but want to inhale more.

A barely-there itch made Lin Xingzhi laugh out loud. He lifted Shen Yao to eye level. "Going out for a stroll?"

The weather was just right, the sunshine bright. Thinking that Yao Niang often stayed in her room, Lin Xingzhi felt a pang of heartache.

Go out?

Shen Yao tilted her rabbit head, adorably shaking her little head.

Lin Xingzhi simply changed into a blue everyday robe, tying his hair into a ponytail behind his head.

Lin An and the others were still handling affairs in Floating Clouds City, so Lin Xingzhi now went out alone—oh, if you counted the white rabbit in his arms, he wasn't lonely.

The streets on both sides were bustling, with many merchants and small shops vying to open for business.

Lin Xingzhi had outstanding looks and an otherworldly bearing; simply walking around drew crowds of onlookers.

Fortunately, he was long used to this, and he walked into a shop very calmly, buying suitable items and sending them back to Floating Clouds Inn.

"Who is that?"

At a tea house just one street away from the jewelry shop, a woman had eyes like silk.

"Madam, that is Prince Jing."

The man beside her had a sharp face and monkey cheeks, his eyes darting about when he spoke, but his information channels were accurate—a useful investigation tool in the service of Eighth Lady.

"Oh, so this is Prince Jing," truly unexpected, whetting the demon's appetite.

Eighth Lady unconsciously licked her lips, her scarlet tongue slightly upturned—clearly a blush-inducing, heart-racing gesture—but it only made the man bury his head lower.

"Tsk, what are you afraid of? Would this Lady eat you in one bite? Hee hee hee."

After speaking, Eighth Lady covered her mouth and laughed softly, scaring the man into a cold sweat.

"Enough, enough, go on down."

After a long while, Eighth Lady felt it was ultimately boring, and lazily waved her hand.

The man ran off in a puff of smoke; as he left, a thick tail was visible—so this was another demon.

Casually withdrawing her gaze to look out the window, Eighth Lady flicked her finger. "Prince Jing."

The lizard demon had died in an unclear manner, and this Prince Jing it had mentioned was very suspicious.

Slurp.

Eighth Lady, a snake demon whose nature was heavy, coldly snorted, already convinced in her heart that Prince Jing was in the wrong.

'In the wrong? What does it want? To follow the lizard demon's path?' Shen Yao replied to the System's worry while playing with the pretty jewelry Lin Xingzhi had bought for her.

'Host, this snake demon is not a reckless demon like the lizard demon,' the System felt the Host should be more vigilant; this snake demon actually knew the method of gradual and lasting flow, unlike the lizard demon with its simple brain and disregard for consequences. Hiss, hard to deal with.

Shen Yao felt the System was worrying needlessly; if the snake demon's combat strength weren't insufficient, why would it be like this? Did it really think all demons were Zhuge Liangs who planned everything?

'When a single entity is too powerful, they disdain to use conspiracies and schemes.'

The reason demons are demons is that they are favored by heaven; their daily cultivation is as simple as drinking water. As for why they would still take the crooked path to improve their arts faster and more conveniently, who wouldn't want to take a shortcut?

'Host, so we can only wait next?'

'Of course, meet change with constancy. If the snake demon doesn't act, we'll live in peace; if the snake demon does act, I won't be courteous to it either.'

Shen Yao didn't invite trouble, nor did she fear trouble.

The snake demon and she were both demons by origin; between them, well water did not offend river water. If anyone crossed the line, it was a taboo.

People often say destroying orthodoxy is like cutting off someone's path in life—a hatred of irreconcilable enmity.

Among demons it might not reach that extent, but they would still fight a battle before discussing anything else.

Shen Yao raised a hand and conjured a round water mirror, the mirror surface facing herself; the jewelry on the table appeared one by one above her head, and the radiant jewels made the beauty in the mirror look even more gorgeous and stunning.

Happily~

Shen Yao raised a hand and touched her increasingly lovely face, spun in a circle, and ran to the study to find Lin Xingzhi.

At this time there was no one else in the study besides Lin Xingzhi. Seeing Shen Yao push the door in, Lin Xingzhi, sitting behind the desk and chair, stood up with a smile. "Why did you come over?"

"I wanted to come see you," of course, mainly it was her whole outfit; she spun in place to let Lin Xingzhi give a proper evaluation.

Lin Xingzhi:...

He curled his hand into a fist against his lips and coughed, "My wife's beauty surpasses that of ordinary people."

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao pounced into Lin Xingzhi's arms, huffing, "That's clearly not what I meant."

How could she compare to Lin Xingzhi's natural beauty? He was just teasing her on purpose, right?

"Not at all, my wife has misunderstood," Lin Xingzhi rebutted with a serious expression, and at the same time, he raised his hand to draw her into his arms, lowered his head to whisper a few words, and unsurprisingly received a few light punches on the chest from Shen Yao.

A low laugh escaped Lin Xingzhi's lips, and Shen Yao's gaze suddenly lifted into the air.

She wrapped both arms around Lin Xingzhi's neck, tilted her head, and leaned against his chest.

"Let's go back to the room to rest."

"I can go back by myself."

"My wife is tired, so let me, your husband, take care of it."

"I, I..."

The words stopped there, followed by broken, toneless breaths.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao watched speechlessly as her outer garments and skirts were removed piece by piece, not understanding how a perfectly normal conversation had turned into intimate activities on the bed.

Shen Yao still wanted to struggle a bit, protesting that it was not yet dark, so how could they indulge in lust in broad daylight.

"Husband and wife sleeping together is the natural order of things, and moreover, marital intimacy is a common human emotion," Lin Xingzhi said, then leaned down and kissed her cherry lips, simply swallowing certain words into his belly.

"System, we can't go on like this; it's time we went out for a walk."

Every day, besides eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, the only thing left was exercise on the bed; Shen Yao could enjoy it as much as she wanted, but she couldn't stand this frequency.

It wasn't that she hadn't advised Lin Xingzhi that excessive indulgence harms the body, but the problem was that Shen Yao's treatment was too effective, and Lin Xingzhi's body was now better than ever.

Shen Yao:...

What was it like to post on some platform and frame yourself? Shen Yao definitely had a lot to say about this.

"Host, Eighth Lady hasn't taken action yet; we can't leave!"

The system was more concerned about Lin Xingzhi's safety than Shen Yao right now, after all, it could already detect that Shen Yao was pregnant, but one must distinguish between people, and confirming it via pulse-taking would still take some time.

Shen Yao found this quite a headache, "Are you sure Eighth Lady will be disadvantageous to Lin Xingzhi?"

This snake demon and lizard demon were indeed not of the same type; at least the lizard demon couldn't hold back this long. Several days had passed since the system's report, and she really intended to lay her plans before acting.

The system spoke with certainty, "Of course, Eighth Lady is contacting various forces, planning to cause trouble for Lin An and the others, and give Prince Jing an unforgettable lesson!"

Shen Yao's expression was strange after hearing this, "Are you sure?"

An unforgettable lesson? She probably just took a fancy to Lin Xingzhi's looks again.

Shen Yao remained skeptical of the demons' bottom line, after all, the lizard demon had also been full of confidence before coming, but changed her face the moment she saw a person. This snake demon and lizard demon got along well; who knew if they were the same type of demon.

System:...?!!!

"Host, are you questioning my abilities?" The system emitted sharp, piercing beeps, and grievance and anger actually appeared in a mere system.

Shen Yao rolled her eyes speechlessly and had to gently remind him that she wasn't questioning his abilities, but was afraid the system had been simply deceived and blinded by the snake demon's actions and words.

After all, the system's previous surveillance targets were all quite normal, but in this world, human-demon romance was the prevailing trend, and among the demons inside, one and all, normality was the most lacking thing. After all, which demon wouldn't cultivate but instead pursue true love with a human? (It seemed she had cursed herself in the process.)

"Is that so?" The system thought for a moment, then timidly expressed an apology to the host.

"Let's keep an eye on Eighth Lady for now," Shen Yao, having lost all interest in going out to play, sent the system away with a fake smile. She first wandered around the room, then sneaked off to the study.

Lin Xingzhi felt Shen Yao was not like a rabbit demon, but more like a willful cat demon.

On ordinary days when there was nothing to do, she would come to provoke him whenever she wanted; when she had matters, she would act coquettish and spoiled, wearing down Lin Xingzhi's heart until he had no choice but to agree.

"My wife keeps doing this; my husband really doesn't know what to do?"

Lin Xingzhi looked at Shen Yao clinging to his arms, raised his hand, and hooked her jade nose.

Strands of hair at her temples fell slightly, causing Shen Yao to chuckle.

Blinking her charming and amorous eyes innocently, Shen Yao raised her hand to wrap around Lin Xingzhi's neck and pressed her lips directly onto his.

After his breath caught for a moment, his chest began to vibrate violently. Lin Xingzhi immediately took the dominant position, moved his arm down to encircle Shen Yao's slender waist, and pulled her into his arms at the same time.

Shen Yao felt as if she were a leaf drifting on the water's surface—at first calm and waveless, then surging with waves, as if about to submerge her.

Her hand unconsciously grabbed Lin Xingzhi's chest clothing, and in the tugging, the fabric on her body was torn to shreds. Her fair chest carried a warm, moist touch, causing the corners of Lin Xingzhi's eyes to redden slightly, and his movements became more violent.

The fire Shen Yao stirred up had to be extinguished by herself. Not only did she completely give herself up, but she also ended up feeling dazed and sleepy when sleeping at night.

Indeed, in this regard, men have always held an advantage over women.

Even though Shen Yao was a rabbit demon and Lin Xingzhi was a sickly invalid not yet fully healed, Shen Yao was still in the weaker position between them.

Another day passed, and Shen Yao had already given up correcting herself for living this kind of extravagant and spirit-wasting life.

Lin Xingzhi held the nourishing soup sent from the kitchen, coaxing Shen Yao, whom he had bullied too much, with kind words.

"This soup tastes good, most suitable for women to take," Lin Xingzhi said softly, then manually pulled Shen Yao lying on the bed along with the bedding into his arms. "Be good, try a taste."

Shen Yao hummed softly, letting Lin Xingzhi spoon-feed her mouthful by mouthful. During the process, whether light or heavy, she grumbled and blamed Lin Xingzhi.

At this moment, Lin Xingzhi had a rare good temper. He accepted everything Shen Yao said without question, and even admitted his mistakes and reflected on himself.

"Dare you do it again in the future?" Shen Yao's voice was hoarse, all because of going too far last night.

Lin Xingzhi coughed twice. "My wife, do not blame me. Xingzhi could not restrain himself." Facing this face, he couldn't help but take too much.

Shen Yao:...

"You, you really..." Shen Yao wanted to leave, but Lin Xingzhi hurriedly hugged her back.

"Yao Niang, Yao Niang."

The beauty abandoned her principles, her eyes full of apology, and she couldn't help but beg in a low voice.

Shen Yao:... Again like this, again like this.

Blaming herself for being useless and unable to resist the temptation of beauty, Shen Yao lightly scolded him for a night, "I won't argue with you anymore~"

Hearing this, Lin Xingzhi couldn't help but laugh out loud, kissing Shen Yao's cheek while thanking her; his Yao Niang was truly too adorable.

The two stayed on the bed playing around until someone came over to report matters, and only then did Lin Xingzhi get up to go to the study.

Perhaps because she had previously recited about the Eighth Lady, Shen Yao saw this suddenly appearing beautiful snake demon in the room.

"Rabbit?"

The Eighth Lady swayed her long tail, her gaze carrying a deep meaning.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao returned the same smile, "You're a snake, aren't you much nobler than me?"

What's wrong with the rabbit? The rabbit didn't eat the Jin Family's food.

Hearing this, the Eighth Lady smiled good-naturedly, "I finally understand why the Lizard Demon lost," the Lizard Demon was a stupid fool with a simple brain and developed limbs, dying in a frame-up was nothing strange.

"You came to avenge the Lizard Demon?" Shen Yao sat on the couch, picked up her tea cup, and took a sip.

"No no no, my relationship with it hasn't reached the point of fighting to the death."

The Eighth Lady waved her hand, and the next second appeared right across from Shen Yao.

"I came this time to make a transaction with you; I will restrain the Jin Family and the Government Office, you let Prince Jing leave, and from now on well water will not offend river water—what do you think?"

Shen Yao tilted her head, "You're very confident," daring to say anything at all.

The Eighth Lady picked up the empty tea cup and poured water for herself, "Floating Clouds City is not bad; I have ties with these people, and I don't want things to end with both sides suffering."

Although she couldn't see through the Rabbit Demon's abilities, the Eighth Lady wasn't without other countermeasures; they were all demons who found cultivation difficult, why fight to the death over a few humans?
