Chapter 273: 141. Lin Xiao carelessly gave up three lives! The mastermind behind the scenes turned out to be her! (9000-word blockbuster seeking monthly tickets)_5
Under the pretext of practicing with twin swords, Lin Xiao had visited Phoenix Caw Peak many times and could now navigate it easily.
Quickly, he passed through several layers of palace mazes and smoothly entered the first level of the Book Pavilion.
According to the steward, Zhu Wanning had specifically arranged to meet him here, knowing he had arrived.
Although it felt strange, Lin Xiao didn’t dwell on it and tentatively called out, "Wanning, are you inside?"
There was no response.
It was late at night, and the Book Pavilion was plunged into darkness.
Since powerful magic prohibitions fortified this place, Lin Xiao couldn’t conveniently use the Fire Technique for illumination. Instead, he had to walk deeper into the space, relying on the vague moonlight streaming through the window.
Soon, he saw a figure in snow-white clothing standing before a large bookshelf.
"Wanning, I finally found you!"
Elated, Lin Xiao hurried over.
However, the other person remained silent and cautiously retreated a step.
The two engaged in a brief chase, which ended with a bookshelf still between them.
"Wanning, I was indeed in the wrong today. I came here to give you an explanation!"
"Rest assured! I, Lin Xiao, am not an unfaithful person!" Lin Xiao spoke sincerely.
"Humph, you... you fall in love with everyone you meet! Who aren’t you wooing with your sweet words!"
The white-clad figure’s back trembled slightly as she spoke with a hint of grievance.
"Hmm, Wanning, your voice... it sounds different. Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Xiao asked with concern.
"No... No," the figure responded. "It’s just that you’ve angered me!"
"Oh, oh, that’s good then." Lin Xiao nodded, feeling a little relieved.
Peering through a gap in the bookshelf, he saw that she still had her back to him. He couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Wanning, do you remember? When we were trapped in the Secret Realm for three months, we often leaned against each other back-to-back, just like this, only without a bookshelf between us."
"Looking back, that time seems rather boring now, until later, when we gradually fell for some... intimate things..."
"What!?"
Upon hearing his words, the snow-white figure trembled violently, stuttering, "You... what are you saying? I don’t understand!"
Lin Xiao chuckled.
To this woman—his wife, with whom he’d already performed the marriage rites and lived intimately for three months—he spoke without any shame, "My dear Lady Wanning, it’s only been a short while. Have you forgotten how you ’turned the tables’ and ’drained’ your husband?"
However, he hadn’t expected her reaction to be even stronger than he imagined!
"Wow," she first let out an astonished cry, then hurriedly said, "Details, details! You... tell me the details. I seem to... have forgotten."
Lin Xiao was dumbfounded.
They say a woman in her thirties is like a tiger, and in her forties, like a wolf. But Wanning is so young. How has she become so... uninhibited?
Lin Xiao was inwardly surprised.
However, faced with her question, his Formless Sword Body reacted with excitement!
Gosh, looking to flirt with your husband through words, are we? Quite the romantic, huh!
Smiling to himself, Lin Xiao unabashedly recounted the various classic encounters from those three months, from the riverside bushes to the bed in their Blessed Abode, detailing everything from beginning to end!
If anyone else were to hear his words, he would probably die of embarrassment on the spot and be considered a pervert!
But he was speaking to his own wife, with whom he had performed the marriage ceremony.
Not only was it harmless, but it might also add some spice to their impending interaction!
Watching Lin Xiao gesture animatedly, painting a vivid picture with his words, the white-clad figure also let out several gasps, appearing exceptionally excited.
Eventually, she seemed a little embarrassed, muttering, "Tsk tsk, I never imagined that you, Chief Lin... could be such a lascivious man. Your Master really misjudged you."
"Huh?" Lin Xiao paused for a second, slightly displeased. "Wanning, we’re a couple. We can joke and tease, but let’s not drag my Master into this."
"Oh, okay." The white-clad back, so close to him, nodded obediently. After a moment of silence, she said, "All right, that’s enough for tonight. You... you can go back now."
What the hell? We’re married, we were just having such a great chat, and now you’re telling me to leave? I can endure it, but *it* certainly can’t!
The next moment, a determined smile touched Lin Xiao’s lips. He activated his movement technique, shot through the gap in the bookshelf, and hugged the figure in white from behind!
"Hehe, got you, Wanning," Lin Xiao chuckled softly, resting his head on her fragrant shoulder just as he used to in the Secret Realm. Then, his hands expertly snaked forward...
The next moment, his expression changed!
This... the feel... it was different!
Wanning’s definitely didn’t feel like this...
At that instant, Lin Xiao’s whole body tingled, his heart pounding in shock. However, his hands seemed to move as if with a mind of their own, continuing to grasp.
"You... you let go of me," the woman in his embrace let out a soft moan.
"I know! Wanning, you used the Change Skill! You temporarily altered your form!"
"You, you, you’re getting more and more playful!" Lin Xiao thought with a wry smile, but what could he do when his wife was like this? Just play along!
Instantly, he threw all caution to the wind and pressed himself against her.
After they embraced and interacted for a while, he began to feel her resistance give way to initiative!
Her slender hands even wrapped around his neck, pulling his head down into her bosom!
He was just about to channel his Formless Sword Body and unleash his true power.
Just then, a ray of moonlight shone down, barely illuminating a stunningly beautiful face, flushed like the evening sky and exuding feminine charm!
At this moment, they were embracing, face to face.
They saw each other’s features clearly!
The intensely passionate atmosphere of moments ago instantly turned deathly silent!
The dreaded awkward silence descended...
After a long pause.
"Martial Uncle Su... how..."
"Is it you, Elder?"
Lin Xiao gulped. His handsome face turned deathly pale, and he even forgot to release his grip!
Now, seeing this stunning beauty he had fantasized about countless times in his previous life, her red lips slightly pouted, looking at him with a blush.
Although Lin Xiao felt an overwhelming turmoil within, he gritted his teeth and said, "I’m sorry! Martial Nephew... I’ve offended you!"
With that, he was about to flee, but she grabbed him from behind!
A strong woman overpowering a man, this is!
Lin Xiao’s heart sank. "Martial Uncle Su, just now... it was truly a misunderstanding! I mistook you for someone else!"
"Really? Does that Wanning girl have a figure as good as your Martial Uncle’s?" the stunningly beautiful Chief Saintess of the Hehuan Sect whispered into his ear.
"This..." Lin Xiao was speechless. There was no way to answer that!
Su Mei’s cheeks were crimson. Driven by some emotion, she actually rested her head on her junior’s shoulder. "Martial Uncle has a question for you. Answer truthfully, or you won’t be leaving tonight!"
"Alright! Martial Uncle, please ask!"
"Do you harbor feelings for your Master that go beyond that of a disciple?" Su Mei asked directly.
"This..."
"Tell the truth! Martial Uncle can see into people’s hearts, you know."
Lin Xiao weighed his options and finally said through clenched teeth, "Yes! But I will keep them buried deep in my heart!"
"Very good. Then there’s no problem. Alright." Su Mei gripped Lin Xiao’s shoulders, turned him around, and said, "Let’s continue, dear Martial Nephew."
Lin Xiao seemed to understand something and tried to escape again, but she was quicker, pulling him into her embrace!
"Martial Nephew Lin, you wouldn’t want your secret with your Master to be exposed to the whole world, would you? Hmm?"
Just then, a voice that made Lin Xiao’s scalp tingle reached his ears.
「...」
The Chief Saintess of the Hehuan Sect versus an unofficial Disciple of the Hehuan Sect.
A contest between experts, evenly matched.
「Six hours later.」
A voice came from outside the Book Pavilion, "Master! Eldest Senior Brother! Are... are you in there?"
"Oh my god, Wanning!" Hearing this voice, Lin Xiao immediately sat up.
"What’s your hurry?" Su Mei, however, was nonchalantly reapplying her red lipstick, while her other hand, imbued with Mana, pulled Lin Xiao back into her embrace.
"Martial Uncle Su, you..."
Completely dominated by this older woman, Lin Xiao didn’t dare to move a muscle!
Damn it, if I had known that guys could also be...
He should have been vigilant tonight and protected himself properly!
"Although Wanning has extraordinary talent in Sword Dao, she’s naturally directionally challenged. It will take her at least half an hour to get from the outermost maze formation to the entrance of the Book Pavilion. Therefore..."
"Let’s make good use of this half hour to continue pleasing your Martial Uncle... no, your elder sister, shall we?"
