Chapter 79: How Much Longer Do You Plan to Lie on Top of Me?

"Tianwu Mountain cannot be gone to; they will likely set up a Formation in advance next time." Seeing the crisis resolved, Jiang Xun landed on a pile of stones beside a lake.

"If you send another message, I fear she will bring those two people again," Zhong Lingqing said, unable to help but find it amusing. "What on earth did you do to her?"

"Stole a few things and didn't save her subordinate, though the things have already been returned, and that subordinate of hers truly couldn't be saved. I didn't expect that little girl Tu Wan to be so vengeful."

Jiang Xun squatted by the lakeside and smiled helplessly.

"Then what do you plan to do next?"

Zhong Lingqing sat to one side, taking off her shoes as she spoke. Her jade-like feet and pink soles gently dipped into the water, her skirt hem lifted upward, exposing her entire lower leg as she soaked her feet by the lake...

"People downstream are still drinking that water; you're washing your feet in it."

Jiang Xun remarked upon seeing this, though he thought these feet really were quite nice. Also, did this woman not know that this also counted as a form of seduction?

"There are people washing their bodies in the lake even further up; what's wrong with me washing my feet? I was grabbed by you lot to be a Protector for the Lingerie-Sect the moment I finished seclusion; I haven't even had time to take a bath."

Zhong Lingqing sighed; at this moment, she really wanted to take a proper bath.

She had been in seclusion for over a dozen years, after all.

If not for her natural floral scent and using internal energy to keep herself clean, she would have stunk.

"Then let's go to Yunyin City first, go to an inn to rest our feet, you take a bath, and I'll think about what to do next."

Jiang Xun stood up and said.

"Wait a moment, my feet just went in."

Zhong Lingqing said coquettishly, casting a sidelong glance at Jiang Xun.

"Is Ning Yu really your disciple?"

Jiang Xun asked, covering his face, caught between laughter and tears.

"Otherwise, is she your disciple?"

Zhong Lingqing retorted.

"In a certain respect, she could indeed be my disciple."

Jiang Xun nodded as if it were a serious matter.

Zhong Lingqing was slightly stunned, then realized what he meant.

After all, it wasn't just Jiang Xun who was prone to thinking crookedly; the things Jiang Xun said given his status were also easy for people to misinterpret.

"I heard from Tu Qing that Baihua Sect disciples can choose not to practice Lingerie-Sect techniques; you mustn't force my Ning Yu."

Zhong Lingqing said after realizing the situation.

"That goes without saying," Jiang Xun nodded. "It's not like one must practice Lingerie-Sect techniques to engage in Dual Cultivation."

"Honestly, could you not say such things to me while wearing an old man's face."

Zhong Lingqing stared at Jiang Xun for a moment, then curled her lip.

Jiang Xun curled his lip and stopped talking.

A moment later, Zhong Lingqing took her feet out of the water. Her two lower legs were raised in a beautiful arc, and water droplets slid down the back of Zhong Lingqing's feet. Jiang Xun's gaze could not help but follow the droplets as they wandered.

A drop of water slid along the arch of her foot, passed over Zhong Lingqing's protruding ankle, headed toward her lower leg, crossed the lines of Zhong Lingqing's lower leg, and slid into the hem of Zhong Lingqing's skirt.

"What are you looking at?"

Zhong Lingqing suddenly put her feet down, stepped onto her shoes, leaned over, met Jiang Xun's gaze, and smiled.

"I'm just seeing that the Left Protector still has her charm."

Jiang Xun did not decline the comment and smiled.

"Hmph."

Zhong Lingqing curled her lip, said nothing, took out a handkerchief to dry her feet, put on her shoes, and tossed the handkerchief aside.

"Let's go."

"Mm."

Jiang Xun nodded, stood up, took Zhong Lingqing in his arms, and soon flew back to Yunyin City, where he found a reasonably clean inn.

After opening two superior rooms, Jiang Xun returned to his own room.

Zhong Lingqing was also impatient to go to her own room to draw water for a bath.

Although they were superior rooms, this Yunyin City was truly backward, and these superior rooms were quite average, more than twice as small as those in Tianji City and Huanyi City.

The soundproofing was also not very good; Jiang Xun could hear the sound of Zhong Lingqing drawing water next door.

Bathwater, that is.

"Coward, two people at the Integration Realm scared you into such a sorry state."

Jun Tianling sneered in Jiang Xun's mind.

"If you're so capable, you do it," Jiang Xun rolled his eyes. "You'd be even worse than me." He then added, "Sword techniques, teach me."

"... Come in."

Jun Tianling sighed.

Jiang Xun then sat cross-legged on the bed, set up a defensive Barrier, and entered the Liu Hong Sword.

"Take out Soul-Suppressor," Jun Tianling said as she stood up and looked at Jiang Xun. At the same time, she raised her hand, and a long sword identical to Soul-Suppressor appeared in her hand, only it was entirely black, shaped by the Heavenly Net Soul-Urging.

Jiang Xun nodded, waved his hand, and Soul-Suppressor appeared in Jiang Xun's hand.

————

Jun Tianling endured a night of torment.

This time, it wasn't just the torment of Jiang Xun's poor learning ability; what was even more tormenting was that because of her oath, she could not harm Jiang Xun in the slightest, while Jiang Xun attacked unscrupulously, actually scratching her with his sword several times.

Jiang Xun even turned around to mock her for her lack of skill, saying she couldn't even beat him...

Jun Tianling truly wished she could swallow Jiang Xun alive.

Early the next morning, Jiang Xun, having beaten Jun Tianling up, felt refreshed and stretched after returning to his body.

Because he had been sitting for too long, his body was indeed a bit numb, and this one stretch directly flipped Jiang Xun over, causing him to slam his head into the wall behind him.

What he didn't expect even more was that this wall was as brittle as cardboard; with a bang, it shattered instantly.

Jiang Xun did a backward somersault directly into the room next door.

Jiang Xun hurriedly stretched out his body, assuming a flat-lying position, preparing to get up.

And the other side of the wall was Zhong Lingqing's bed.

What Jiang Xun expected even less was that his roll would land him directly on top of Zhong Lingqing in a push-up position.

Furthermore, what he absolutely could not have imagined was that this woman, Zhong Lingqing, slept completely naked!

Zhong Lingqing opened her eyes the very moment the wall collapsed, but she was so stunned that she couldn't react, just watching as Jiang Xun rolled onto her and braced himself over her body.

Because of those rounded curves, they were now pressed tightly against Jiang Xun's chest, even being flattened slightly.

"You... are you crazy?"

Zhong Lingqing stared at Jiang Xun with wide eyes, her voice somewhat hoarse.

"You... sleep... without wearing clothes?"

When Jiang Xun rolled over, he had a full view of Zhong Lingqing; he held it in for a long time, but still couldn't help but ask this question.

"I spent over a decade in seclusion wearing clothes; I took a bath last night and didn't want to wear anything to sleep, is that not allowed?"

Zhong Lingqing replied blankly, clearly also startled and unable to react for a moment, only realizing what she had said after finishing the sentence: "How much longer do you plan to lie on top of me? Do you want me to spread my legs?"

"That would be excellent."

Jiang Xun nodded repeatedly.

"Get lost!"

Zhong Lingqing shouted.

Jiang Xun hurriedly rolled off the bed, turning his back to Zhong Lingqing: "Big sister, listen to my explanation, that wall was as brittle as paper; I just stretched, and the wall shattered."

"You practiced all night and broke through without even realizing it; with one stretch, the Spirit Energy on your body erupted, so even if that wall were a few times thicker, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been able to stop you."

Zhong Lingqing pulled the quilt over herself and said coldly; there had been Spirit Power fluctuations on Jiang Xun all night, and she hadn't expected this kid to be so diligent, practicing all night long.

"Is that so... hahaha, I have a reinforcing Formation in my room, I actually forgot about that." Jiang Xun scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.

"Are you still not leaving? You aren't expecting me to do something with you, are you?"

Zhong Lingqing glared at Jiang Xun's back and said.

"Is that possible?"

Jiang Xun turned his head back with an expectant look on his face.
