Chapter 736 - 710: Encountering Yuening Again
Hotel bathroom.
Sun Zhe stood in front of the sink, looking at his own disheveled appearance in the mirror, shaking his head with a wry smile, and once again recalling the madness of last night.
That’s when he noticed that his neck and shoulders were covered with bright red scratches and bite marks.
"Did it really hurt that much?"
"To bite me so hard."
As he was savoring the memory, the ringtone of a phone suddenly came from outside the bathroom.
He walked out of the bathroom, picked up the phone on the bed, and found it was a call from Chen Ruoyi.
"Sigh, Yiyi is probably calling to hold me accountable."
Sun Zhe braced himself mentally and, with some reluctance, answered the call.
As he expected, as soon as the call connected, Chen Ruoyi started scolding him.
Sun Zhe couldn’t help but frown and purse his lips, hurriedly holding the phone away from his ear. Once Chen Ruoyi finished scolding, he showed an honest smile: "Sorry, Yiyi. I drank way too much last night, so I left early. I saw you all having so much fun and didn’t want to spoil it, so I said nothing."
"Only a fool would believe that!"
Sun Zhe’s expression turned serious: "It’s true, I swear!"
"Men’s mouths, deceptive ghosts. You must have been fooling around with some girl last night. That KTV was full of beautiful girls, all wearing sheer stockings, high heels, and short skirts. What man wouldn’t get dizzy seeing that?"
Sun Zhe scratched his head, "Why don’t you believe me?"
"I don’t believe a word, Sun Zhe. You’re done, I’m telling you!"
"How can I make you believe me then?"
"Hmm... come to the Undying Pavilion now and make it up to me. I dressed up especially for you last night... and you just left without a word."
Hearing this, Sun Zhe’s eyes lit up, and the Yang Qi in his body instantly became restless, "Alright, alright, I’m coming right away. I’ll spend the next few days with you."
"..."
...
The next few days, Sun Zhe mostly spent his time at the Undying Pavilion, because Xia Shiqing was also very busy and rarely home, so he didn’t want to stay home alone.
He focused on alchemy and healing to earn lots of money during the day, and at night, he practiced cultivation, crazily absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the underground martial arts arena, or he would cultivate with Chen Ruoyi. It was quite a fulfilling life.
He thought that after the incident with Qi Xue, someone from the Qi Family would certainly come to cause trouble, and he was prepared for it. But to his surprise, the Qi Family remained very quiet.
Only Qi Jie occasionally visited the Undying Pavilion to see him, but their discussions were solely about Sword Dao, never mentioning the incident with Qi Xue.
...
It was another sunny morning.
At Villa 3, Jingtian Forest Garden.
Sun Zhe, who had been busy all night with the Empress, was still dreaming when a phone call woke him up.
"Damn, who is it so early in the morning? Can’t a person get some sleep?"
Sun Zhe impatiently grabbed his phone, thinking it was a call from Chen Ruolong, ready to curse, but he became instantly alert upon seeing the caller ID and quickly answered.
"Hey, Shuang’er."
Coldly, Leng Yueshuang’s voice came from the phone: "Sun Xiaozhe, if I didn’t contact you on my own, would you ever reach out to me?"
"How could I not? I’ve been busy from dawn till dusk these past few days, utterly exhausted... Besides, didn’t I reply to you?"
Leng Yueshuang’s tone grew colder: "You call that a reply? Just a meme."
"Uh..."
Sun Zhe touched his nose, trying to change the subject: "What’s up for calling so early?"
"I’m in Kyoto. Arrived yesterday."
Sun Zhe’s eyes widened in surprise, "You arrived yesterday? Why didn’t you say anything earlier?"
"You never asked."
"Geez..."
Sun Zhe almost let a curse slip, "Alright, I didn’t ask. Where are you now? Want to meet up?"
"Yeah, I’ll come to your place later. I’ll introduce my sister to you too."
Hearing this, Sun Zhe showed a meaningful smile and said, "Actually, I’ve known your sister for quite some time, and I’m quite familiar with her. You know, I do miss her."
"Really?"
Sun Zhe nodded, listing facts: "Your sister catches colds easily when exposed to air, and she gets a runny nose. Also, her left wing likes to curl inward while the right one prefers to spread out, plus..."
On the other end of the line, Leng Yueshuang was exasperated, unable to tolerate him any longer, and grumbled, "Enough already, you’re something else, all because of that mouth of yours."
Sun Zhe: "You’ve got two mouths too."
Leng Yueshuang: "Alright, I’ll be over soon."
"Okay, I’ll clean up your favorite little mess for you."
"Do you want me to beat you up?"
"How would you do that?"
"I don’t need to."
"By the way, do you know where I live?"
"Yeah, Jingtian Forest Garden. My senior sister told me."
"..."
After ending the call, Sun Zhe got out of bed to wash and tidy up.
He shaved off all his stubble, styled his hair to be dashing and suave, and almost found himself too handsome to handle in the mirror.
"Man, I’m so damn good-looking."
"..."
Thinking about soon being with Leng Yueshuang after not seeing her for a long time, Sun Zhe’s Yang Qi began to grow increasingly restless, deciding to start the moment she arrived.
With Xia Shiqing already out for the day and the house empty, he decided to forego clothes, wearing only a pair of boxer shorts for convenience later.
During the long wait.
The sound of an engine finally roared in the yard.
Sun Zhe, all smiles, eagerly walked out of the living room to greet the guest.
But at this moment.
When Leng Yueshuang saw Sun Zhe rushing out in just boxers, she panicked, her face turning red like an apple.
It wasn’t out of shyness; the issue was that there was another person in the passenger seat, her sister.
"This guy is really shameless."
She sneaked a glance at her sister in the passenger seat, relieved to see her sister was resting with her eyes closed and hadn’t noticed Sun Zhe yet, feeling a bit of relief.
But the next moment, her tension spiked again.
Because the shameless guy was briskly approaching.
She frantically gave him signals, but he seemed oblivious.
"Shuang’er, I missed you so much!"
Leng Yueshuang sighed in resignation, gently stepping on the brake.
As the car jolted, her sister in the passenger seat woke up, rubbing her eyes and asking, "Sis, are we there?"
Leng Yueshuang: "..."
At this moment, she was bewildered, unsure of what to do.
Sun Zhe walked over quickly, opened the car door, and grinned, "Shuang’er, it’s only been a little while and your chest seems to have grown."
Leng Yueshuang hastily got out of the car, giving him a fierce glare to signal him to shut up.
Unexpectedly, Sun Zhe pulled her into his arms, slipping his hand under her sweater to boldly explore that full and rounded shape.
"Hey, stop it..."
Sun Zhe grinned mischievously: "Today, if I don’t make you moan senselessly..."
Mid-sentence, Sun Zhe froze, seeing the passenger door open, revealing a pair of long legs wrapped in sheer stockings.
In a moment, he felt as if the sky was falling, glancing sharply at Leng Yueshuang, asking with his eyes why there was someone in the car.
Leng Yueshuang flushed, turned her head away, indicating she wanted nothing to do with it.
As Sun Zhe looked up at the emerging figure, ready to greet, he was stunned, his eyes widening upon recognizing the stunning face.
"Wh...why is it her?"
Only then did he realize the graceful figure stepping out of the passenger seat was none other than that night’s Yuening!
