Chapter 426: We’re All Men, What’s There to Be Shy About?
Here on the mountaintop, besides the jagged, bizarrely shaped rocks, there were also plenty of soft, grassy patches.
Their silhouettes intertwined under the setting sun; everything felt so beautiful and natural.
After a long while, Jiang Xinghai finally let go of Leng Ning, his eyes filled with a gentle, doting affection.
"You’re impossible. I didn’t even get to watch the sunset," Leng Ning said, gazing quietly at Jiang Xinghai.
"Are you sure you only came up here to watch the sunset?" Jiang Xinghai chuckled.
Leng Ning didn’t answer. A blush crept across her face, and her heart was still pounding erratically.
"It’s getting dark. Let’s head down. I still have to make good on my promise to you," Jiang Xinghai said, pulling Leng Ning to her feet.
Leng Ning felt a mix of apprehension and anticipation. "Aren’t you tired?"
"Who would get tired of something so blissful?" Jiang Xinghai teased.
"True, you’re as strong as an ox," Leng Ning said coquettishly, lowering her head. "Um, are you sure you really want to... do that tonight?"
"Do what?" Jiang Xinghai feigned ignorance.
Leng Ning glanced at Jiang Xinghai’s profile. "You know what I’m talking about."
"I can be a bit slow sometimes. You just need to give me a little hint and I’ll get it," Jiang Xinghai said, taking her hand as they started down the mountain, his face a mask of curiosity.
"It’s... on the way to the Phoenix Mountain scenic area today, in the car, I helped you..." Leng Ning was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
"Oh, that. It was certainly... unique."
Jiang Xinghai put on a look of sudden realization, then scooped Leng Ning onto his back. "Didn’t I tell you? I’ll help you the same way you helped me. We’re equals. If you can give so much, why can’t I?"
"But I... I’ve never tried it before. What if I don’t like it?" Leng Ning was both anxious and excited.
"From what I know, no one has ever not liked something so wonderful."
Jiang Xinghai chuckled softly as he carried Leng Ning back down to the base of the mountain.
"Sounds like you’ve been with quite a few women, then," Leng Ning started to chide him.
"Well..." Jiang Xinghai felt a headache coming on.
It couldn’t be helped. After all, he had once cultivated his sect’s Forbidden Skill, the Dragon Locking Secret Technique.
If he went three days without being with a woman, his power would not only decline, but he could also suffer irreversible damage.
To become stronger, he had to find ways to get close to women.
"I know you’re an exceptional man. It’s not like you can control having so many female confidantes around you. After all, you have this special, mysterious charm. Even I couldn’t escape it, so how could they control themselves?" Leng Ning remarked with a fair assessment.
Among all these women, Leng Ning was indeed the strongest.
Furthermore, in the entire Central State, only Yan Qingshan could compare to her Creation Realm strength.
When the two returned to the old Leng Family residence, only Leng Bing was still awake. Everyone else, thanks to the drinking at the afternoon banquet, had gone to bed early.
Leng Bing himself had only sobered up after vomiting a few times and now couldn’t fall asleep.
"Sis, Brother-in-law, everyone’s asleep. What do you two want to eat? I can make you something," Leng Bing said. He had just gotten married not long ago, and with his wife pregnant, he couldn’t be intimate with her, so he wasn’t in the mood for sleep either.
"You should get some sleep too, Bing. I’m just going to use the restroom. Later... your brother-in-law and I will just grab a bite," Leng Ning said, pursing her lips. She glanced at Jiang Xinghai before turning and heading to the restroom.
"It’s fine, I’m not tired," Leng Bing chuckled.
Jiang Xinghai got straight to the point. "Bing, your wife is about three months pregnant, right?"
"Huh? How do you know that, Brother-in-law?" Leng Bing couldn’t help but feel baffled.
"Because I’m a doctor. I can tell," Jiang Xinghai said, gesturing to indicate the size of a baby bump.
He didn’t want Leng Bing to get the wrong idea.
’So Brother-in-law is a doctor, too. That explains it,’ Leng Bing thought, relieved.
"Come on, tell your brother-in-law. You’re under some pressure, aren’t you?" Jiang Xinghai said, sitting down on the sofa and looking at Leng Bing.
Leng Bing gave a sheepish smile. "Brother-in-law, it’s the kind of pressure every man understands."
"We’re both men. Of course I understand." Jiang Xinghai’s gaze was knowing.
"I... I’ve had over three months of pressure built up." There was no point in Leng Bing pretending anymore.
He never expected his brother-in-law would be so direct about this kind of topic with him.
"Haven’t you tried other methods?" Jiang Xinghai gestured with his palm. "For example, using your hand?"
"Ah, well..." Leng Bing was mortified.
"We’re both men, what’s there to be shy about?"
Jiang Xinghai took out a couple of cigarettes. After they both lit up, he said with a soft chuckle, "Back when I didn’t have a woman, I’d relieve the pressure that way too. It’s completely normal. But it’s not quite right for you to do it when you have a wife. You have to consider her needs, too."
"But Brother-in-law, my wife has a big belly," Leng Bing said, looking miserable.
"Let’s put it this way: after the first three months and before the seventh, as long as you’re not too wild, it’s fine. But you have to be moderate. I don’t need to explain how to gauge that, do I?" Jiang Xinghai said with a slight smile.
"Brother-in-law, is that really okay?" Leng Bing broke into a grin.
"Look it up on your phone if you don’t believe me," Jiang Xinghai said.
