Chapter 412: First Experience

He spoke haltingly, but Wu Qingcheng still understood his meaning.

"Now you're the only one who can save her; decide for yourself. As for order, rescuing her is urgent. I think even if Sister Liang finds out later, she won't blame you! I won't blame you either! Fine, first put me into the Storage Ring. Whether you save her or not, you decide."

Time was pressing, and Wu Qingcheng also knew she couldn't stay any longer. She guessed Ye Liuyun's temperament and expected he would ultimately save Su Miaoyin.

Although she had known Ye Liuyun before Su Miaoyin, Su Miaoyin had taken the lead, leaving her a bit resentful and reluctant. Yet rescuing the person was paramount, so she couldn't dwell on that now.

After Ye Liuyun stored Wu Qingcheng, he muttered a litany of words in his mind, like "I hope you understand, I hope Sister Liang won't mind," and the like.

Until he sensed the True Essence inside Su Miaoyin beginning to surge. Further delay might affect her cultivation level.

With no other choice, he gritted his teeth and awkwardly tried to undo Su Miaoyin's clothing, but remained clumsy. After all, it was his first time doing such a thing, so nervousness was inevitable.

Ye Liuyun had previously seen Lei Ming naked, lying beside him, but he had never felt this way.

Looking at Su Miaoyin's torso, he felt both curious excitement and some guilt. In the end he decided to awaken her, hoping she would sense what was about to happen.

But after Su Miaoyin woke, she was completely under the effect of the Hehuan San medicine, and she leapt straight into Ye Liuyun's arms, kissing him.

"So hot, hold me… kiss me…"

The two tangled together for a long while, and the Hehuan San effect in Su Miaoyin's body gradually faded. Ye Liuyun finally relaxed.

But seeing the exhausted, limp Su Miaoyin in his arms, he felt both pity and great embarrassment. He never expected his first woman to be Su Miaoyin. He hadn't even left Cangyun Continent, and now he had another woman!

"This fate really loves to joke! I wonder what Sister Liang will think of me when she finds out!" Ye Liuyun got up, dressed, then covered Su Miaoyin with her clothes, placing the intimate garments beside her, and sat waiting for her to wake.

In this situation, she truly wanted Wu Qingcheng to come out and help him. Otherwise, when Su Miaoyin woke later, he wouldn't know how to face her. Yet Su Miaoyin wasn't even clothed, so bringing Wu Qingcheng out felt inappropriate.

He could only stand there stiffly. Whether Su Miaoyin blamed him or not, he could accept it.

After about half an hour, Su Miaoyin slowly woke up.

"You're awake!" Ye Liuyun made small talk to avoid awkwardness.

"Hmm!" Su Miaoyin replied, then tucked her head into her clothes. Actually during the latter half, she had regained some consciousness, knowing what had happened. She had just been too tired, and had dozed off.

She never expected to become Ye Liuyun's woman like this.

She knew Ye Liuyun was saving him, and that Ye Liuyun already had someone else in his heart. Thus she was now stuck on a tiger, not knowing what to do.

"Turn around first, let me put my clothes on!" Su Miaoyin whispered. Although they had just shared an intimate moment, she lacked the courage to dress in front of Ye Liuyun.

"Alright!" Ye Liuyun immediately turned, letting her dress.

He turned, and behind him the hurried sound of dressing came to mind, making him want to look back, yet he dared not.

"All right!" Su Miaoyin's voice came, and he finally dared to turn around.

Both of them didn't know what to say, remained silent, and dared not meet each other's eyes. They were both experiencing this for the first time, and some words were too awkward to utter.

"How about I call Wu Qingcheng out to keep you company for a while?" Finally Ye Liuyun couldn't hold back and suggested using Wu Qingcheng as a shield.

"Fine!" Su Miaoyin thought having a woman to help communicate was not bad.

So Ye Liuyun released Wu Qingcheng, using Transmission Voice to call for help.

Wu Qingcheng had no choice but to step out as the appropriate go‑between, relaying messages between them.

Seeing Wu Qingcheng present, Ye Liuyun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Using the excuse of checking the outside situation, he let Su Miaoyin open the Golden Lotus and escape, leaving Wu Qingcheng and Su Miaoyin to whisper.

He hadn't paid attention to what was happening outside at the time. When he later emerged, he discovered that the Tian Gang Liu Chong master from Dark Night Demon Hall had multiple Meridian ruptures, his True Essence scattered, and was completely dead.

"This medicine is truly potent, it can actually take a life!" Ye Liuyun couldn't help but sigh. He almost lost Su Miaoyin's life.

He hadn't noticed Lao Gu Tou'er's corpse. Until he saw the dead female disciple's disheveled attire, he guessed it was probably Lao Gu Tou'er's doing.

"That old bastard really knows how to get his hands dirty!" Ye Liuyun surmised that Lao Gu Tou'er used the dead female disciple's body to dissolve the poison on his own. He probably wasn't dead yet, just missing.

He couldn't bear to see the woman's disheveled state. Raising his hand, he used Golden Crow Holy Fire to incinerate the corpse cleanly.

"Wan Chong Shan, I hope you don't die too happily!" Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil gazed toward the passage. He guessed the bandit leader Wan Chong Shan should have already left.

So he didn't rush to chase, but sat down on the spot to recover his strength, waiting for the outcome of Wu Qingcheng and Su Miaoyin's communication.

Not long after, Wu Qingcheng herself emerged from the Golden Lotus and approached Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to speak. Seeing his nervous demeanor, Wu Qingcheng couldn't help but laugh.

"Why are you nervous? You've got the advantage. Why do you act like a whiny little daughter‑in‑law!"

Ye Liuyun helplessly shook his head and asked, "You're not angry with me, are you?"

Wu Qingcheng pretended to be offended. "What's the point of being angry at you? You can soothe me however you like later. Now tell me about Miss Su Miaoyin. She's already your woman; how do you plan to treat her? You won't shirk responsibility, right?" (garbled characters omitted)

"No! How could I not take responsibility! It's just—didn't she blame me? Does she consent? She still wants to go to Heaven Sound Hall for rescue, what should I do?"

Ye Liuyun still hadn't figured out how to treat Su Miaoyin. The incident happened so suddenly that he wasn't mentally prepared. Though he had thought about it earlier, he still had no clear solution.

"She's already yours, so there's nothing to blame you for! Besides, she already liked you, so you don't need to worry about that." Wu Qingcheng had long foreseen this outcome. Ye Liuyun wasn't the cold‑hearted type; he would definitely take responsibility.

Then she suggested: "As for her going to Heaven Sound Hall, I recommend you accompany her, since you have nowhere else to go. Sister Liang is now inside Lingxi Palace and should be safe. Su Miaoyin going alone to Heaven Sound Hall is extremely risky. But that's just my suggestion; after all, she's your woman, decide yourself!"

Wu Qingcheng said the decision was up to Ye Liuyun, but in fact she knew him so well that she expected he would ultimately make that choice.

Previously the two had little connection, so Ye Liuyun tried to avoid Su Miaoyin. But now that she was his woman, he would certainly consider her safety.

Unsurprisingly, Ye Liuyun immediately agreed. He truly could no longer ignore Su Miaoyin.
