Chapter 94: Another Way to Play with Nine Tails
Yan Yichen had also been curious enough to ask, but hearing Hu Yan send Yue Junxiao to prepare the ingredients, he immediately shut up and obediently went back to watching his show.
Between preparing ingredients and watching a show, he still found the show much more interesting.
Lang Qiu left without needing to be told. Sang Mo wasn’t interested in any of this, so he hadn’t come over in the first place.
Once they were gone, Bai Zhi let out a sigh of relief. She subconsciously lifted the juice glass and took a sip. The cold, refreshing drink slid down her throat, and she felt the tension instantly melt away.
She looked up to find Hu Yan staring at her. Thinking he wanted some juice, Bai Zhi offered him the glass. "Want a sip?"
Hu Yan froze for a second. Apparently, no one had ever offered him a drink they had already sipped from, so he didn’t quite know how to react.
Seeing him stunned, Bai Zhi realized her gesture might have been inappropriate. If Hu Yan were just her Beast Husband, it would have been fine. But he wasn’t just her Beast Husband—he was also the Third Prince.
A Prince who’d had everything he ever wanted since childhood had surely never shared a drink with anyone, much less been offered a glass someone had already drunk from.
At this thought, Bai Zhi immediately started to pull her hand back. "Sorry, that was just instinct. I wasn’t thinking."
But unexpectedly, before she could retract her hand, Hu Yan took the glass from her and drank a large gulp.
Her hand was still outstretched as she stared, stunned, watching him drink nearly half the juice. "You..."
Hu Yan’s head was tilted back slightly, his eyes half-lidded. Hearing her voice, he paused. His gaze swept over her nonchalantly as he asked softly, "Hm? What?"
His well-defined hand gripping the glass, the movement of his throat as he swallowed, that casual glance, and his voice, slightly husky from being muffled by the cup—every detail made Bai Zhi’s body flush with heat.
’Eep...’
’How can anyone be this handsome?!’
’Too bad such a handsome man won’t be mine for much longer!’
’If that’s the case, I have to get my fill of him before he leaves!!’
’No, wait, I just want to upgrade Hu Yan’s level. I’m really not just lusting after his body!!’
With that thought, Bai Zhi suddenly pounced on Hu Yan.
Seeing her lunge at him, Hu Yan worried she might fall and instinctively caught her, all while trying not to spill the juice. So when she threw herself at him and her hands started roaming, he didn’t resist, simply letting her do as she pleased.
Bai Zhi straddled Hu Yan’s waist, her hands lightly gripping his collar as she looked down at him. Her eyes were shining with astonishing brightness. "Hu Yan, can you let your ears out again, please?"
Hu Yan gave her a look of resignation. "They’re all still here. If you want to fool around, let’s go to our room."
Bai Zhi’s eyes sparkled as she looked at him. "If we go to the room, does that mean I can do whatever I want?"
Hu Yan hummed in agreement. "Mhm..."
Bai Zhi immediately slid off his waist and set aside the glass of juice that was getting in the way.
By the time she’d done that, Hu Yan was already on his feet.
She immediately grabbed Hu Yan’s hand and pulled him toward their room.
The door swung shut, but in the second before it closed, a strange "Hehehe" could be faintly heard from inside the room.
"Sob... Can you let your tail out, too... please..."
"Wait... wait... I just wanted to touch your tail, not... not this..."
"Waaah... that tickles..."
Hu Yan: "Don’t you like it?"
"Stop, stop, I can’t take it anymore..."
Hu Yan: "Weren’t you the one who said you wanted to do whatever you pleased? We’ve barely even started..."
...
"Hu Yan..."
Inside the room, Bai Zhi’s whimpers rose and fell one after another.
She never expected that simply asking Hu Yan to show his tail, and then accidentally touching the base of it... would provoke such an intense reaction.
’If only I had known...’
’...I probably still wouldn’t have been able to resist...’
’There were nine tails!!’
’I’ve wanted to touch them since last time!!’
The nine tails swaying behind Hu Yan made him look like an enchanting spirit.
His tails formed a cocoon, wrapping her completely within them. With him above her, dream and reality blurred together.
She just couldn’t resist reaching out her hand...
And as she was stroking them... she got careless. Unable to hold back, she let her hand trail up, wanting to see what the base of the tails looked like for him to even have nine of them...
Who knew Hu Yan would react so strongly? She had barely made contact, not even getting a proper feel, before he... did *that* to her.
Afterwards, Bai Zhi lay nestled among Hu Yan’s nine tails, completely enveloped in their warm, soft, comfortable fluff.
Just as Bai Zhi was drifting off, feeling drowsy and lazy with heavy eyelids, Hu Yan suddenly spoke. "My spiritual power has broken through to S-Class."
Hearing Hu Yan’s words, Bai Zhi was instantly wide awake.
Her eyes shot open. She turned to Hu Yan and said in joyful surprise, "You broke through to S-Class?"
A faint smile played on Hu Yan’s lips, and his light blue eyes seemed to glow as he answered, "Mhm."
Bai Zhi shot up, ecstatic. "Ahhh—, doesn’t that mean you’ll reach SSS-level soon?!"
Hu Yan smiled. "Yes, and it’s all thanks to you, my lady."
He hadn’t expected that after his spiritual power had fallen to A-level, he would climb back up to S-Class so quickly and in such a manner.
Some of Hu Yan’s tails were tucked under Bai Zhi, others were draped over her, and the rest swayed gently in the air, a clear sign of their owner’s pleasant mood.
Bai Zhi’s expression turned serious. "Don’t worry, I’ll get you to SSS-level as quickly as I can."
Hu Yan: "Alright. I’ll be counting on you then, my lady."
Bai Zhi wasn’t sleepy anymore. She snuggled into his arms, idly playing with his long, slender fingers. "Hu Yan, when are you planning to go back?"
Hu Yan just said, "There’s no rush."
Bai Zhi pursed her lips. "Okay. Well, just remember to tell me before you go."
Hu Yan concealed the dark look in his eyes. "Alright."
Yue Junxiao was pressed against the door, muttering to himself, "Why haven’t they come out yet?"
Yan Yichen yelled, "Yue Junxiao, you look like a total pervert! They’re not going to come out just because you’re plastered to the door. Get over here. They’ll come out when they’re finished."
Inside, Bai Zhi and Hu Yan had no idea someone was eavesdropping. Realizing that everything they had just said might have been overheard, Bai Zhi fell into a strange silence for a few seconds.
Hu Yan simply aimed a jolt of spiritual power at the door.
Caught completely off guard, Yue Junxiao was sent flying.
BANG—
He landed sprawled on the floor. He lifted his head, utterly bewildered. ’How did I get over here...?’
Then he scrambled up from the floor, his face alight with excitement. "Hu Yan, did your spiritual power increase?! That was so strong!"
Hu Yan retracted his gaze and said to Bai Zhi, "Get some sleep. I’ll go check on things. You can get up when dinner is ready."
Bai Zhi burrowed back under the covers and gave a small, barely perceptible nod. "Mhm."
Hu Yan dressed, then opened the door with a cold expression, coming face-to-face with Yue Junxiao, who was just scrambling to his feet. "Er... Hu Yan?"
