Chapter 136: You Can Have Your Way with Me...
Seeing that she was tempted, Hu Yan leaned in close to her ear and said in a low, husky voice, "And after that, you can do whatever you want with me..."
His bargaining chip was clearly effective. After hearing this, Bai Zhi’s eyes instantly lit up. She nodded, not forgetting to add, "Okay, but only once."
Hu Yan just gave a vague hum in response.
The next second, Bai Zhi saw a miniature version of Hu Yan, looking exactly as he did now, inside her own spirit sea.
Even their positions were identical. Hu Yan looked down at her, then suddenly reached out and brushed a strand of hair from her ear.
His fingertips then slid gently down her cheek. It was such a simple gesture, yet Bai Zhi felt a tingling numbness where he touched, a sensation that spread through her entire body.
His gaze made her feel as if she were the person he cherished most in the world—it was gentle and full of deep affection.
For a moment, Bai Zhi felt like she was about to melt, even though nothing had really happened yet.
Hu Yan’s warm breath and his body heat were all exceptionally clear.
Just then, Hu Yan suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips. A pair of large hands clasped hers, fingers intertwined, and slowly raised them above her head in a controlling grip.
Then, something seemed to slide past her leg—it was warm, hot, and tingly, with a slight itchiness, as if it had brushed against her very heart.
Bai Zhi had a vague idea of what had just brushed past her.
Bai Zhi felt that in here, all of her senses seemed to be magnified countless times over.
Her body trembled because of it, and a watery sheen filmed her eyes. A soft moan escaped from between her red, slightly swollen lips. "Ngh~"
Hearing her low moan, the color of Hu Yan’s eyes deepened.
With his movements, Bai Zhi felt as if every cell in her body had been awakened. She was so hot that she squirmed uncomfortably, only to be met by Hu Yan’s even tighter control.
The heat from his large hands was becoming unbearable. Bai Zhi cried out, "Hu Yan..."
Hu Yan’s low, husky voice answered her. "Yes."
She felt even hotter in the spirit sea than outside, as if her whole body was on fire. Yet, Hu Yan seemed completely unaffected, continuing to tease and arouse her.
Bai Zhi had never imagined that one day, Hu Yan’s tail could be used in such a way...
Bai Zhi felt herself swaying back and forth, as if floating in the air...
A long time passed before they finally stopped.
Although they had stopped, Hu Yan didn’t pull away from her.
Bai Zhi’s entire body felt limp, and she didn’t even want to move an inch. She didn’t pay much attention, only noticing that she felt sticky all over. The bath she had just taken had been for nothing.
She thought that was it, but after resting for only a short while, she felt an unfamiliar sensation on her body again.
Bai Zhi’s eyes flew wide. "Hu Yan."
He responded, "Mmm."
Bai Zhi asked, "Didn’t you say just once?"
Hu Yan’s raspy voice answered her, "Mmm, just one more time~"
Bai Zhi whimpered, "Ngh... You... liar..."
...
They had agreed on just once, but it happened again and again. By the end, Bai Zhi had lost count and simply fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already broad daylight. But to her surprise, the moment she moved, she felt an unfamiliar weight on her body—an arm was draped across her waist.
She turned her head and met Hu Yan’s gentle, light blue eyes.
Hu Yan asked, "You’re awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Seeing Hu Yan’s handsome face, Bai Zhi remembered how outrageous he had been last night. But perhaps because most of it had happened in the spirit sea, she didn’t feel any discomfort. In fact, she felt quite energetic?
Still, Bai Zhi put on a displeased expression. "Didn’t you say just once?"
Hu Yan knowingly reached out to rub her waist and said softly, "Mmm, it was indeed just once."
Bai Zhi’s eyes widened. "You—you did it so many times! How could it possibly be just once?!"
Hu Yan leaned in to her ear with a smile and whispered, "Mmm, I said one time *in the real world*."
Hearing Hu Yan’s explanation, Bai Zhi was so furious she was rendered speechless.
She ground her back teeth and glared at him menacingly. "You’re playing word games with me!"
Hu Yan blinked his light blue eyes innocently. "Am I?"
’I was just securing a little bonus for myself, that’s all.’
Bai Zhi was seething.
’So now it’s my fault?!!!’
Seeing she was on the verge of getting angry, Hu Yan suddenly changed the subject. "Check your spiritual power."
Although Bai Zhi was a little confused, she did as Hu Yan said and checked her spiritual power.
The result was so shocking that Bai Zhi shot up in bed, her mouth slightly agape. She discovered that her spiritual power had increased by twice the usual amount.
Bai Zhi instinctively turned to look at Hu Yan. "Why did this happen?"
A slight smile touched Hu Yan’s lips. "Perhaps because our spirit bodies were the ones merging. Direct contact between spirit bodies is a more direct link than physical contact, so the spiritual power gain is also greater."
After hearing Hu Yan’s explanation, Bai Zhi mused, "If that’s the case, can other people do it too?"
Hu Yan shook his head. "Their spiritual power can’t achieve Transformation to a solid form, so they can’t enter your spirit sea."
Bai Zhi understood at once. This method was exclusive to their Nine-tailed Fox clan; no one else could use it to level up.
Moreover, the method had many restrictions. First, one’s spiritual power had to be able to undergo Transformation into a physical form. Second, one had to give their unique mark to the other person. And finally, the other person had to be like Bai Zhi, possessing the ability to upgrade their spiritual power. All of these conditions were essential, which meant that only she and Hu Yan could do it.
’Then again,’ she thought, ’if everyone could use such a heaven-defying leveling method, everyone would be SSS-level.’
Bai Zhi never expected that just by going along with Hu Yan and trying it once, she would end up discovering a whole new world.
The crucial thing was that after doing it this way, her body felt fine the next day, without the slight discomfort she used to feel.
She turned to look at Hu Yan and asked curiously, "How much did yours increase?"
At the mention of spiritual power, Hu Yan’s mood was clearly excellent. He smiled and said, "A lot more than usual. One or two more times, and I should be able to return to my Peak of SS Level state."
Bai Zhi’s eyes widened in astonishment. "That fast!"
She remembered that just half a month ago, Hu Yan was only at A+ Level, and now he was already close to the Peak of SS Level!!
Hu Yan wrapped an arm around Bai Zhi’s waist, kissed her hair, and said in a low, husky voice, "Thank you for your affection, my dear wife."
His words made Bai Zhi think of her chaotic nights with Hu Yan these past few days, and her face immediately flushed crimson.
Hu Yan lowered his gaze, watching her blush while trying to feign composure. He found it inexplicably cute.
He couldn’t resist reaching out and poking her cheek. Bai Zhi immediately bristled, whipping her head around to glare at him.
But instead of ’scaring’ Hu Yan, her reaction only drew a low chuckle from him.
Bai Zhi was speechless.
