Chapter 316: Missed Opportunity

After they were full and satisfied, they finally went back to rest.

Ye Liuyun reserved five Side Courtyards, one for Lin Feier, one for Ru Yue, one for Bai Hu, one for Shi Yuan, and the remaining one he shared with Wu Qingcheng, Yu Er and Lei Ming.

Lin Feier was also stunned by the luxury of the Water Moon Tower, just as when Ye Liuyun and the others first came. When she learned how exorbitant the prices here were, she couldn't help but marvel at Ye Liuyun's strength.

Ye Liuyun had just spent over a billion Crystal Stones to buy Crystal Cores; those cores could boost his power by how much! How could he possibly keep up? Now even she was tempted, wanting to go rob together with Ye Liuyun.

Before, when she fought people, even if she won she felt embarrassed to take their Storage Ring; now she realizes how foolish she was.

On his way back, Ye Liuyun kept holding Wu Qingcheng's hand, and when they entered the courtyard, he never let go.

Wu Qingcheng asked shyly, "I bought you a lot of clothes, would you like to try them on?"

"No need, whatever you bought is surely fitting!" Ye Liuyun smiled, looking at Wu Qingcheng. "Having you by my side, everything comes to mind, I feel so much more at ease! Thank you for all the trouble, you have to worry about everything!"

Wu Qingcheng's face flushed red as she teased, "Saying that to me, aren't you being overly polite?"

Ye Liuyun smiled faintly and asked, "Qingcheng, it's been a long time since I've seen you dance! I have time today, would you like to perform a piece?"

"You want to see?" Wu Qingcheng asked affectionately.

Ye Liuyun hurriedly replied, "Of course I want to see! It's just that I usually fear you might not want to dance, so I didn't say it!"

A blush spread across Wu Qingcheng's face. "Silly! If you want to see, I'm obviously willing to dance for you. I'll dance for you whenever I have time, okay?"

"That's wonderful!" Ye Liuyun laughed happily.

Wu Qingcheng also smiled faintly, gently slipped out of Ye Liuyun's hand, and danced around him. Though there was no music, her illusion technique was now stronger, making her movements even more captivating.

Ye Liuyun wholeheartedly admired her dance. He felt that at this moment Wu Qingcheng was like a fluttering celestial maiden, every smile and frown beautiful enough to topple a kingdom!

Immersed in this happiness, Ye Liuyun suddenly felt his Soul once again wandering the Taixu, soaring together with Wu Qingcheng.

Wu Qingcheng also sensed Ye Liuyun's Soul responding, and her dance became even more enchanting.

The surrounding butlers, maids, Yu Er and Lei Ming were all stunned at that moment.

Especially this dance, infused with their combined Soul power, even Lei Ming's Nascent Soul at the fourth level was drawn in and lost himself.

Fortunately, Ye Liuyun and Wu Qingcheng were not deliberately targeting them.

The two of them were simply admiring each other, enjoying this moment of bliss.

When the piece ended, Wu Qingcheng's final move was to collapse into Ye Liuyun's arms.

Ye Liuyun finally couldn't hold back and took the initiative to kiss Wu Qingcheng.

Since trying this feeling with Liang Xue, Ye Liuyun occasionally recalls the thrill of that kiss.

At this moment he suddenly understood what Liang Xue had meant when she told him not to neglect Wu Qingcheng, Yu Er and the others!

Since Liang Xue had given her blessing, he felt he could no longer neglect other women, lest they think he had let them down.

Wu Qingcheng, at this moment overwhelmed by sudden happiness, felt her mind go blank and instinctively clung tightly to Ye Liuyun, responding to him.

After a long while, everyone had come to their senses, but the two of them were still unwilling to part.

Lei Ming and Yu Er both looked full of envy.

"Little brother finally had an epiphany!" Lei Ming whispered to Yu Er, then pulled Yu Er to go soak in the hot springs.

When Ye Liuyun let go of Wu Qingcheng, she was so embarrassed she wouldn't face anyone, burying her face in his chest, and it took a while before her complexion returned to normal.

At that moment, Lei Ming shouted from the hot springs, "You two should strike while the iron is hot and hurry back to the room to sleep! Yu Er and I are soaking here, we won't disturb you!"

Wu Qingcheng's complexion, just having calmed, suddenly flushed bright red again.

Ye Liuyun was also a bit embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

Wu Qingcheng, such a stunning beauty, guarded by his side every day, it's unrealistic to say he has no thoughts. It's just that his Soul is strong, allowing him to stay clear‑headed and rational at all times.

At this moment, he was indeed a bit hopeful, yet feared Wu Qingcheng might be embarrassed.

Wu Qingcheng was even more embarrassed, not knowing what to say. In her heart she already considered herself Ye Liuyun's woman, so she didn't mind giving herself to him. It's just that as a woman she felt shy to express it proactively.

So the two of them froze on the spot, saying nothing, not moving, as if struck by a petrification spell.

Finally, Wu Qingcheng couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere and whispered to Ye Liuyun, "You don't even scold Lei Ming, you dare say anything!"

"Actually… as long as I'm not dead, I won't let you down!" Ye Liuyun finally mustered courage to say that. If he hadn't spoken up now, he thought he'd be even more embarrassed to speak later.

Hearing that, Wu Qingcheng felt too embarrassed to stay, turned and ran back to her room.

Ye Liuyun was stunned. "Did I get too eager and scare her away?"

He then, a bit dejected, walked toward the hot springs and saw Lei Ming and Yu Er both nude, soaking. When they saw Ye Liuyun approach, Yu Er immediately dived into the water, while Lei Ming paid no mind.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun felt awkward and could only return to the Cultivation Room to train.

After Wu Qingcheng returned to her room and saw Ye Liuyun hadn't followed, she didn't know whether to feel relieved or disappointed.

"Alas! I'm such a fool! This fool—today achieving this was already hard enough, how could I run away!" she couldn't help but regret.

But to go find Ye Liuyun again, she couldn't summon any courage no matter what. In the end she ran out and went to soak in the hot springs with Lei Ming and the others.

Lei Ming chuckled at her, "That wooden guy already took the initiative, and you're still embarrassed? What a waste of opportunity!"

Yu Er didn't intend to mock her, but said regretfully, "Indeed, who knows when another chance like this will come!"

"Alas! Stop saying that! I already regret it. But now there's nothing I can do!" Wu Qingcheng said plaintively.

"There is a way! You can just rush into the Cultivation Room now, strip, and pounce on the young master; he definitely won't resist!" Lei Ming laughed.

Wu Qingcheng was also made to laugh. "Then you go! I'll give you this chance!"

"The young master never asked for me! If I go in now, he'll just punch me out!"

Lei Ming's exaggerated expression made Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er burst into loud laughter.

After realizing Wu Qingcheng wasn't angry with him, Ye Liuyun entered the Xuan Kong Shi, settled his mind, and began cultivating.

He wanted to boost his strength sooner, find his parents and aunt earlier, so that Wu Qingcheng could be at ease being with him.
