Looking at the woman lying on the bed before him, her lovely face was smooth and her skin was as white as jade. She lay there quietly, possessing a calm and peaceful beauty. The starlight of the night poured in from the window and fell on her, covering her with a layer of silver.
Her soft body had beautiful curves. A soft glow scattered through the room. Along with the sound of her breathing, it was as peaceful as the night and gave a sense of home.
Ye Chu walked to Zhong Wei’s side. He pulled over the silk nearby and gently covered Zhong Wei with it. His fingers lightly brushed past her neck, and the skin felt shockingly smooth.
He lowered the white bed curtain, walked out of the room, sat on the green stone outside, and gazed at the countless stars in the empty sky.
But the moment Ye Chu left the room, Zhong Wei’s eyes, which had been tightly closed in deep sleep, opened. She looked at the silk covering her body, placed her hand on the neck where Ye Chu’s fingers had brushed, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
…
The night breeze was gentle.
Ye Chu sat outside the door, looking at the sky full of stars, and his whole self sank into the stars. He had come to this world five or six years ago. He could be said to have truly adapted to this world and truly merged into it. Thinking of Bai Xuan, Yao Yao, Yang Hui, and Tan Miaotong, a smile also appeared at the corner of Ye Chu’s mouth.
“This world still has many things that I must protect.”
Ye Chu clenched his fist tightly and stared at the sky full of stars. Even for Bai Xuan’s sake, he could not die so early. He had to break free from the Supreme Intent as soon as possible.
These past few days, Ye Chu felt the Supreme Intent growing stronger. If his Dharma power had not settled all laws, he feared he would have long since lost himself. Yet even though his Dharma power could accept a hundred rivers, the Supreme Intent kept growing stronger. If it grew so strong that he could not contain it, he would certainly die.
“I still need to become stronger as soon as possible. If I could know what my constitution really is, I could deal with it properly. However, the eight holy liquids of the Red Dust Saintess are so hard to find.” Ye Chu sighed.
Looking at the countless stars in the sky, Ye Chu’s heart sank into them. His intent flowed with the starry sky, cleansing and settling Ye Chu’s cultivation.
…
“You sat here all night?” Early the next morning, before the sun had risen, Zhong Wei’s clear voice sounded. She sat down beside Ye Chu and looked into the distance with him.
Ye Chu turned his head to look at Zhong Wei. Today she wore a one piece tight suit that fully showed her figure. She was wrapped in silk and sat beside Ye Chu. She hugged her knees with both arms, and her chest was pressed into a startling curve, making Ye Chu unable to help glancing a few times.
“You took over my bed, so I could only come out!” Ye Chu looked at Zhong Wei and smiled.
Zhong Wei took the silk from her body and used it to wipe away the dew left on Ye Chu’s hair by the night. Her fingers touched Ye Chu’s face, carrying a warm feeling.
“You are so wicked. I thought you would come up and sleep with me, or even do something to me?” Zhong Wei looked at Ye Chu with a smile.
“I did think about it! But before this, I tried to use force on two women and failed. So I think my luck with using force is not very good. If I failed again, I would truly have no face left in this life.” Ye Chu shrugged.
“Did you really use force against someone?” Zhong Wei looked Ye Chu up and down. “Are you really so vile that people look down on you?”
Ye Chu shrugged and could not help thinking of Ji Die. That woman also had an immortal grace and jade body, and she was somewhat similar to Zhong Wei before him. Thinking of Ji Die, he could not help recalling the one year promise she had once spoken of. He thought that a year had already passed, and he had not gone to keep the promise. He wondered how that woman would react.
Ji Die had once said that if he had the strength, even using force against her would be fine. Ye Chu could not help wanting to laugh. At this moment he might still be far below Ji Die, but it was not impossible to catch up with her. If that day really came, would she really let him use force!
“What are you thinking about that makes you smile foolishly?” Seeing Ye Chu chuckling alone, Zhong Wei could not help asking. “Are you thinking about harming women?”
“You even guessed that. I thought of an interesting woman. I was thinking how I can get back the face I lost in front of her.”
“The woman you failed to use force on?” Zhong Wei looked at Ye Chu. Although it was a question, her eyes were unusually certain.
“You did not come early in the morning just to discuss using force with me, did you?” Ye Chu looked at Zhong Wei and said. “Could it be that you are disappointed I did not use force on you yesterday?”
“Ye Chu!”
“Mm?”
“Has anyone ever said your mouth deserves a slap?”
“Ah! I don’t think so!”
“Then I am now telling you clearly. If you dare talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth.” Zhong Wei looked at Ye Chu, then snorted and said, “Besides, even if you wanted to use force, would you dare?”
“Hey! Miss, do not look down on people. There are many things I do not dare do in this life, but when it comes to sleeping with women, even the daughter of the Heavenly King would be pushed down by me without hesitation. I let you off only because I feel we are friends and I would be embarrassed to make a move. Moreover, this kind of thing pays attention to mutual willingness.” Ye Chu looked at Zhong Wei with burning eyes.
Zhong Wei suddenly leaned forward. Her red lips came very close to Ye Chu, and her fragrant breath sprayed onto Ye Chu’s face: “If you had climbed into bed last night, perhaps I would not have resisted!”
“…”
Ye Chu turned his head. He could not stand hearing women say such things after the event. What kind of person was Ye Chu? In his previous life he had moved through nightclubs. What kind of teasing and what kind of words had he not heard? Although Ye Chu admitted that Zhong Wei’s words had quite a bit of power, they were not enough to make him embarrass himself.
Seeing Ye Chu turn his head to look at the distant sunset glowing with countless rays, Zhong Wei’s surprise grew stronger. This young man was truly able to keep his calm. Even when she spoke like this, he remained so indifferent.
“It seems I looked down on you!” Zhong Wei suddenly smiled. “However, I can barely believe in your character. If I follow you from now on, I can feel at ease.”
If Zhong Wei wanted freedom, following Ye Chu might not be a bad choice. Before, she had feared Ye Chu could not stand against the Son of Heaven, but the result told her that even the Son of Heaven would suffer losses before Ye Chu.
This man’s origin was also extraordinary. He had the capital to fear nothing from the Son of Heaven. Without doubt, following him was the best choice.
Ye Chu did not know whether to laugh or cry. It was the first time someone had said so directly that his character was barely trustworthy.
“Thank you for such high praise!” Ye Chu shrugged at Zhong Wei. After speaking, his gaze again looked far away at the sunrise.
The clouds in that place were dyed red by the rosy dawn, very beautiful. Ye Chu sat with legs crossed there, and his mind sank with the sunrise.
Zhong Wei stayed beside Ye Chu. The light of the sunrise shone on the two of them. They sat shoulder to shoulder. A handsome man and a beautiful woman, they were also a scene.
The surroundings were quiet. At this moment, Ye Chu seemed to disappear as a whole person. Zhong Wei sat beside Ye Chu, but she could not sense Ye Chu’s aura. Looking at Ye Chu’s peaceful expression, Zhong Wei was shocked in her heart, “Ye Chu’s primordial spirit is becoming more and more refined. His understanding of heaven, earth, and all things is also becoming deeper. Give him time, and perhaps he can really contend with people like the Son of Heaven!”
