Chapter 122: Waltz of Love
As she spoke, she reached out to grab it.
The moment she grabbed hold, Hu Yan’s expression changed instantly. He quickened his pace toward the bed.
Bai Zhi felt something was strange. Before she could figure it out, her vision suddenly shifted. The world turned upside down, and she felt a wave of dizziness.
When she opened her eyes again, she was already lying on the bed, and Hu Yan had turned into one, two, three, four...
Bai Zhi shook her head and blinked, but there were still several figures in front of her. She reached out, counting them one by one. "Hu Yan, why are there so many of you? You, you stop moving. It’s making me sick."
Hu Yan took her hand, his gaze deep as he stared at her. "I’m not moving," he said in a husky voice. "Weren’t you just asking what it was?"
Bai Zhi looked baffled, then her expression grew even more complicated. "So weird."
Hu Yan asked in return, "How is it weird?"
A gleam flashed in Bai Zhi’s clear, dark eyes. "It’s warm... hehe, and kind of fun."
All the blood in Hu Yan’s body rushed to one place. "..."
A vein throbbed on Hu Yan’s forehead. His eyes turned crimson as he growled, "You asked for this!"
"Don’t be so rough... You’re hurting me... ooh..."
Hu Yan’s kisses made Bai Zhi giggle. "This is fun! I want to do it too!"
Then, she flipped over and straddled him, mimicking his earlier actions. She nipped at him all over like a little puppy, making his muscles tense. A fire was lit all over his body, but he had nowhere to direct it.
Lying on the bed, his eyes crimson and his breathing ragged, Hu Yan said, "I’ll teach you."
Bai Zhi watched like a curious child. She was a fast learner, following his every instruction.
A waltz of love began to play in the room.
Last night, Hu Yan discovered that making love with Bai Zhi was incredibly effective for someone at their peak, allowing for a quick breakthrough.
He had just reached Peak S-Class yesterday, but the very next day, he found he had already broken through S-Class and ascended to SS-level.
When he got up the next day, his spiritual power had indeed increased significantly. However, compared to before, the rate of growth had clearly slowed down. It was as if the vessel holding his spiritual power before SS-level was only the size of a pot, but after reaching SS-level, that vessel had grown several times larger.
He would need to fill this vessel completely to ascend to SSS-level.
’But if I absorb a few more Beast Cores over the next couple of days and use the nights to break through, I wonder if I can reach SSS-level quickly.’
Hu Yan turned, his gaze falling on the soundly sleeping Bai Zhi. Her body was covered in the marks he had left. Thinking back on the previous night, an imperceptible tenderness surfaced in his eyes.
He reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her fair little face. Bai Zhi seemed to sense someone touching her. She waved a hand weakly, rolled over, and mumbled, "No more..."
Hearing this, Hu Yan chuckled, tucked her arm back under the covers, and then got up and left.
Bai Zhi woke up about an hour after Hu Yan left.
After waking, she snuggled against the pillow for a moment before stretching languidly.
Then, scenes from last night flooded her mind, and her stretching motion froze abruptly.
Bai Zhi’s face instantly turned beet red. She slammed her fists on the bed twice. ’I can’t believe Hu Yan is that kind of person!!’
’Taking advantage of me when I was drunk, making me do those things!!’
’He coaxed me into it again and again.’
Usually, if she said "no more" twice, Hu Yan would stop, but last night...
It was as if Hu Yan had eaten induction grass. He coaxed her over and over, devouring her completely, turning her this way and that.
The more Bai Zhi thought about it, the redder her face became. In the end, she buried herself back under the covers.
Then she remembered: today was Monday... Hu Yan’s day!
Bai Zhi: "..."
She bit her lip. ’I’ve decided. I can’t let Hu Yan run wild again tonight!!’
With that thought, Bai Zhi sat up in bed. As she habitually checked her spiritual power, she was startled. ’How did I level up to SS-level?’
Everyone said leveling up was hard, but for Bai Zhi, it felt as easy as drinking water. It hadn’t been long at all, and she was already SS-level?!
She released her spiritual power and could clearly feel the difference from before. It felt magical to Bai Zhi. ’So this is SS-level?’
No wonder so many people wanted to reach SS-level. The difference between S-Class and SS-level was like night and day.
Despite the chaotic night, Bai Zhi didn’t feel tired at all. In fact, she felt refreshed and invigorated, as if she had harvested his male energy to nourish her own.
’What a huge boost!!’
’No wonder the fox spirits in TV dramas cultivate by absorbing a man’s yang energy. I feel just like a male-energy-sucking fox spirit right now, even though Hu Yan is the actual fox spirit...’
’But not only does doing *that* not harm my body, it even increases my superpower!’
For a moment, Bai Zhi felt like she could go another three hundred rounds tonight!!
Bai Zhi rolled around on the bed gleefully. ’Even though my superpower isn’t for combat, who would complain about having a higher-level superpower?!’
After a while, Bai Zhi composed herself and decided to wash up and go downstairs.
’Thinking about yesterday, what must be faced, must be faced.’
She didn’t know what Hu Yan had told the others, but when Bai Zhi went downstairs, she found everyone getting along harmoniously. Even Sang Mo was lounging lazily on the soft couch as usual, as if yesterday’s events had never happened.
This left Bai Zhi utterly astonished. ’Hu Yan is a born peacemaker!!’
’How on earth did he manage to get even Sang Mo to be so obedient?’
Bai Zhi descended the stairs, filled with a sense of wonder.
Just then, the System suddenly issued a mission.
[Super Mission Triggered: Please spend 1,000,000,000.00 Star Coins on your five Beast Husbands within seventy-two hours.]
[Mission Reward: Trigger a tenfold reward—a ten-billion-Star-Coin shopping mall.]
’Ten billion!!’
Hearing such a massive number from the System completely caught Bai Zhi off guard. Having never seen so much money in her life, she missed a step and nearly fell down the stairs.
Fortunately, her quick reflexes allowed her to grab the handrail, narrowly avoiding the embarrassing scene of tumbling down the stairs.
Bai Zhi’s gasp wasn’t quiet, and it immediately drew the attention of everyone downstairs, who all turned to look at her in unison.
Yue Junxiao heard the sound and looked over. When he saw it was Bai Zhi, his alluring eyes lit up. He called out, "Darling, Zelda said she’s taking us to see the Main Star’s special ’local customs and traditions’ today."
After speaking, Yue Junxiao looked at Bai Zhi in confusion and asked, "Darling, are you practicing some kind of high-difficulty maneuver?"
Hearing Yue Junxiao’s words, Bai Zhi was mortified. She didn’t even have a moment to ponder what he meant by ’local customs and traditions.’
There was nothing she could do. Bai Zhi was currently clinging to the handrail with both hands, her legs stretched across two steps, staring at Yue Junxiao from a distance. No wonder he thought she was practicing a ’high-difficulty’ maneuver.
Just as Bai Zhi was wondering how to stand up gracefully, Lang Qiu walked up to her in a few strides, bent down, and scooped her up into his arms.
