Chapter 160: A Secret Move Through Chen Cang

What's more, on Zhimeng Xing it's clearly you and Bao Jing who have been sleeping with Ye Xi'an; you've been sleeping together for two months, and the next two months should be mine and Ji Jiangci's.

Lin Zhi Jing raised his eyebrows smugly, thinking of Ji Jiangci's embarrassed look—he'd surely be too shy to sleep with Ye Xi'an, which meant he could sleep with Ye Xi'an for two months.

You!" Yi Yang, tall and furious, stomped his foot, but didn't dare to openly oppose Lin Zhi Jing; he anxiously said, "How can that count during a mission! We should count only when we're at home!"

Forget it, I'm not arguing with you—I'm going to find my wife.

As Yi Yang spoke and turned to go find Ye Xi'an to reason with her, Ye Xi'an was just coming down the stairs at that moment.

What are you arguing about?" Even though the room's soundproofing is excellent, it can't block Yi Yang's loud voice.

Seeing Ye Xi'an come down, Yi Yang hurried over like a puppy, eyes pleading; he stood at the bottom of the stairs and naturally grabbed her calf, rubbing his face against her pitifully.

Honey~, Doctor Lin is being unreasonable, he won't let me sleep with you.

Ye Xi'an's eyes flashed; looking at Yi Yang's foolish appearance and recalling Lin Zhi Jing's wary nature, she decided to uphold justice for Yi Yang.

She put on an act, helped Yi Yang up, patted his shoulder, and declared righteously, "Rest assured, today as your wife I guarantee you won't be shortchanged."

Ye Xi'an strode confidently up to Lin Zhi Jing.

Lin Zhi Jing, how can you bully Yi Yang? Before, it was always Bao Jing and you sleeping with me; now it's definitely Yi Yang and Ji Jiangci's turn.

Lin Zhi Jing's face darkened: "You want to sleep with Yi Yang and Ji Jiangci?"

What's good about a lowly little mutt and an aging, faded lion? He's young, handsome, broad-chested, and fair-skinned.

It's not a matter of whether I want to or not; we need organization and discipline. Tonight I'll sleep with Yi Yang, tomorrow with Ji Jiangci—happily decided!

Having said that, without waiting for Lin Zhi Jing to argue, she grabbed Yi Yang and headed upstairs.

Halfway up, Yi Yang gave Lin Zhi Jing downstairs a smug smile, as if to say, "Even if you're unreasonable, you still have to obey my wife obediently—hmph."

Lin Zhi Jing stood downstairs, her displeasure almost tangible—damn organization and discipline; she clearly just didn't want to sleep with herself.

She still minded being a gray-browed python; Lin Zhi Jing touched his own neck, pressing on the venom gland, his eyes full of gloom.

Ban Yue Diao Gao Lou, in a patch of tranquil darkness, the faint breaths of the beastman filled the entire room.

Ye Xi'an listened to Yi Yang's movements, carefully opened her eyes, lifted the blanket, and prepared to get out of bed.

The instant the blanket was lifted, cold air enveloped her, making her shiver.

Barefoot, she stepped cautiously on the icy floor, trying not to make a sound.

The room was dark; only faint starlight from outside seeped in, outlining shapes. Ye Xi'an clearly saw Yi Yang on the bed with his mouth slightly open, sleeping not too deeply.

Needless to say, the bed on Zhu Shen Xing is truly excellent—no creaking at all.

By the time she had gone downstairs, Yi Yang was still snoring loudly.

It seems choosing to sleep with Yi Yang was the right call; if she'd slept with Lin Zhi Jing, even turning over would likely wake the other.

After making sure there was no movement, Ye Xi'an quietly headed toward Ji Jiangci's door, like a furtive cat, barely turning the handle.

Click—

Although Ye Xi'an's movements were as careful as possible, they still woke the sleeping beastman.

Lin Zhi Jing's room is directly opposite Ji Jiangci's; the instant Ye Xi'an turned Ji Jiangci's door handle, his deep-set phoenix eyes snapped open.

His gray pupils flickered with an eerie glow in the darkness; he lay motionless in bed, listening to the sounds outside.

He heard someone sneak into Ji Jiangci's room, close the door, and then clamber onto the bed.

Thinking of Ye Xi'an's odd behavior tonight, he narrowed his eyes, and a resentful, viscous voice sounded out of nowhere.

Wife, you've gone bad.

You actually pulled a 'dark passage through Chen Cang'—pretending to sleep with Yi Yang while secretly sneaking off to Ji Jiangci.

Knowing you're careful at night, you'd surely notice if I got up, so I chose Yi Yang.

He gave a soft hum; the former Ye Xi'an wouldn't have had so many roundabout tricks.

Over there, after Ye Xi'an felt Ji Jiangci's bed, she followed the sheets to the spot beside where he slept.

She crouched, using the faint light, and saw Ji Jiangci lying on his side, back to her, body curled up, seeming somewhat stiff.

Ye Xi'an hesitated, then reached out and lightly touched his shoulder.

Ji Jiangci wasn't asleep at all, so he noticed Ye Xi'an coming down from upstairs.

As the sounds outside grew closer, until his door handle was turned, he realized Ye Xi'an had come to find him.

He didn't know what Ye Xi'an wanted, nor what to say, so he simply turned on his side and pretended to sleep.

Ji Jiangci felt Ye Xi'an continually approaching; the subtle movements transmitted through the blanket told him she was already right behind him.

Until Ye Xi'an touched his body, his already tense physique tightened further; he stared wide-eyed at the moonlight outside the window, somewhat afraid to turn and ask what she wanted.

Ji Jiangci?

Ye Xi'an lowered her voice, almost whispering.

After a second or two, Ji Jiangci slowly turned over.

In the darkness, Ye Xi'an couldn't see his expression, only feeling his gaze fall upon her.

Honey? What's wrong?

His voice was also low, as if just roused, with a hint of hoarseness and confusion.

Are you cold?

Ji Jiangci remained silent for a few seconds.

I'm fine; are you cold?

His voice sounded somewhat strained.

Ye Xi'an immediately said, "I'm cold!"

She simply lifted a corner of his thin blanket and slipped inside.

The movement was slight, but it still brought in a draft of cold air.

Ji Jiangci's body tensed again, he shrank sideways, trying to create distance.

His skin was very wrinkled, and Ye Xi'an felt uncomfortable touching it.

"Don't move."

Ye Xi'an pressed him down, "Why are you shaking?"

"I…… I'm not shaking."

Ji Jiangci's voice grew even lower.

The darkness heightened his senses, Ye Xi'an could clearly feel his muscles tensing.

"You are shaking."

Ye Xi'an said firmly.

She no longer hesitated, she pressed herself against him, using her own body heat to warm his back.

Ji Jiangci's body instantly stiffened like a stone.

"Honey, you should go back……"

His voice carried a barely perceptible panic, "I'm not suitable to sleep with you right now."

"Why not suitable?"

Ye Xi'an didn't care, "I just want to sleep with you."

She felt that Ji Jiangci seemed to want to push her away, but his movement was tiny, so small that Ye Xi'an could calm him with just one hand.

The next second, Ye Xi'an turned Ji Jiangci's body over and kissed him without hesitation.
