In an instant, Dongfang Yue froze. She never expected Yun Chu'an to say such a thing.
She had imagined many possibilities: after Yun Chu'an came out, he might be furious, or he might frown and look displeased, and then he would call his senior sister over and question her about why she had done such a thing.
But what she hadn't expected was that Yun Chu'an not only didn't pursue the matter, but seemed to see through her aggrieved feelings and knew what she needed at that moment. (The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated to the initial statement.)
So he came over and gave her a warm hug.
At this moment, Dongfang Yue felt as if her body was about to melt away.
She had actually enjoyed Yun Chu'an's embrace more than once, and each time it seemed to be warmer than the last.
She still remembered the last time they hugged. She was ambushed by Lee Sung-hyo and almost lost her life, but he used his avatar to shield her and then carried her away together.
And back then, she nestled against his broad chest, just like she is now, listening to his heartbeat, feeling her own heartbeat faster and more intense than his...
Even though he's with my senior now, he won't abandon me, nor will he blame me...
Right?
It must be like this...
For a moment, such a thought surfaced in Dongfang Yue's mind.
And this melted her heart.
Just then, a system notification sounded in Yun Chu'an's ear: [Ding, Dongfang Yue's trust level has been raised to "Admiration"].
Yun Chu'an held her close, his emotions unaffected by the system notification. Back on that day, when he saved her from the brink of death and carried her all the way back to camp, he had already guessed what was going on in Dongfang Yue's eyes.
Today, the system has simply confirmed his conjecture once again.
His arms remained tightly around Dongfang Yue's body, warming her with his chest, as if making a silent promise to reassure her that he would always protect her.
Dongfang Yue didn't say much, just nestled against his chest. For a moment, she felt as if she was melting, sinking into oblivion, not wanting to think about anything else, just wanting to stay in his arms, nestled against his chest, completely surrendering herself to him.
I'll give him the rest of my life.
But just as this thought arose, Dongfang Yue suddenly woke up.
Wait, what am I doing?
He's my brother-in-law!
I can't...
With her face flushed red, Dongfang Yue suddenly reached out and pressed her hand against Yun Chu'an's chest, shoving him away.
"!"
Yun Chu'an was caught off guard, but he did not use his spiritual power to resist, letting her push him away.
He stood up and took several steps back to barely maintain his balance and avoid falling to the ground.
Then he saw Dongfang Yue blush and suddenly turn around, running away as if fleeing. In the blink of an eye, she turned the corner and disappeared without a trace.
A young girl's thoughts are always hard to fathom. If the system hadn't already confirmed the situation for him, Yun Chu'an would probably be unable to control his suspicions right now, wondering if his behavior just now was too abrupt and made Dongfang Yue suddenly feel uneasy.
But at least he still had confidence. Without thinking too much, he turned and went back into his room.
On the bed, Yan Shui had her eyes closed, but it was clear she wasn't asleep. She simply trusted Yun Chu'an and didn't disturb her.
Yun Chu'an took off his clothes again, lay on the bed, hugged her delicate body, and gently patted her fragrant shoulder twice as a comforting gesture.
Then, he could clearly sense that the beautiful woman in his arms relaxed and her breathing gradually became steady.
She fell asleep, and Yun Chu'an closed his eyes as well, drifting off to sleep with his beloved in his arms.
Chapter 768 Dongfang Yue's Thoughts
The yellow sand is endless.
The wicked monk, whose robes were tattered and whose head was bald except for a few sparse, rough strands of hair around his head, walked barefoot into an oasis camp.
In the camp, the dark-skinned, thin boy had only a tattered rag to cover his body.
Seeing the wicked monk approaching, out of some instinct, he stepped forward, grabbed the collar of his robe, and cried out, "Hungry..."
"Please, have pity on me, give me some food..."
He pleaded, completely unaware that the monk himself also relied on begging for alms to make a living.
Beside him, a gaunt middle-aged woman, though ignorant of the path of cultivation, could still sense the extraordinary aura emanating from the wicked monk.
She quickly reached out and picked up the little boy, repeatedly apologizing, her eyes clearly showing fear.
The evil monk paid no attention to this. He stared at the little boy and said softly, "You are all mortals. Under this order, you can only live a life of poverty."
"Are you all willing to accept this?"
The little boy looked bewildered, his eyes filled with confusion, yet he knew this wasn't the life he wanted.
He shook his head slightly in confusion, while the evil monk's lips curled into a smile.
"The five major sects claim to uphold righteousness and justice, but they have blocked the path to advancement for too many ordinary people with mediocre talents," he said. "Even if they are fortunate enough to be blessed with immortality, those who lack talent can only cultivate to the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stage at most, which is their limit, and they can only grow old and die in despair."
"Is this what the cultivation world should be like? Lifeless and devoid of vitality. No, the world shouldn't be like this; the world should be more vibrant!"
As he spoke, he reached out and touched the child's forehead: "Thousands of cultivators compete and fight each other; this is what the cultivation world should be like."
"In such a world, even if you are just an ordinary person with average talent, you can still use your intelligence to create a future of unparalleled success for yourself!"
……
The next day, early in the morning.
As the golden rays of the sun shone through the window paper into the room, Yun Chu'an on the bed gradually woke up. He opened his eyes, then came to his senses, turned his head, and looked at Yan Shuiyi lying next to him.
She was still asleep, her delicate skin shimmering in the morning light, even the finest hairs seemed visible, making him reluctant to look away.
Yun Chu'an wasn't in a hurry to get up. The most critical matter had been resolved, and now he wanted to rest.
He didn't need to do anything else; simply admiring his beloved's exquisite face soothed his soul. If there were no other chores to disturb him, he could gaze at her like that all day long.
But soon, under the sunlight, Yan Shuiyin's long eyelashes, which seemed to radiate light, trembled twice, and then her eyelids opened, revealing a pair of beautiful, dark eyes.
She woke up, her eyes still slightly dazed. But then, she turned her head, looked at her lover beside her, and a bright, satisfied smile bloomed on her lips.
Yun Chu'an smiled, lowered his head, and gently kissed her rosy lips, announcing the start of a new day with a good morning kiss.
Yan Shuiyi gently returned his kiss without saying a word. Yun Chu'an didn't put his tongue into her mouth; they kissed for a while before parting their lips.
Then, he threw back the covers and began to change his clothes and get out of bed. Yan Shuiyi also got up with him, washed up, opened the door, and prepared breakfast.
The Ruthless Sect has been wiped out, and the Qin people have been temporarily defeated, but they still have a lot to do and much to do next.
As soon as Yun Chuan stepped out of his room, his expression changed. He was holding Yan Shuiyi's arm.
He turned his head and looked at the corner at the end of the corridor, where he saw a figure walking out stiffly.
Dongfang Yue pretended it was a chance encounter in the morning. Upon seeing the two of them, the girl put on a bright smile: "Senior Sister, Fellow Daoist Yun, good morning!"
She appeared perfectly normal, but Yun Chuan's expression shifted, noticing the bloodshot eyes and dark circles under her eyes that she hadn't yet managed to eliminate with her internal energy.
Immediately, he had a guess in his mind: Dongfang Yue was probably preoccupied last night, and it was very likely that she hadn't slept at all.
Feeling a pang of heartache, Yun Chu'an smiled and greeted her. The three of them then went out together to meet up with the others.
Su Youling had already gotten up and was now taking the initiative to come to his side, eagerly hoping to learn "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" first.
Yun Chu'an wasn't in a hurry; there was plenty of time to learn this magic later. He felt sorry for Dongfang Yue, so he suggested that Yan Shuiyi and Su Youling discuss it first. Although the leader of the Ruthless Sect had been eliminated, many strongholds remained scattered in various places. What should they do about this in the future?
It is better to personally uproot them one by one, do it cleanly, and solve the problem once and for all to avoid future troubles.
Let's leave these small fry for the younger disciples of the sect to practice on, and let them use their time on things that are more worthwhile. Are you there, Yong? Are you in the air? Are you in the forest? Are you there?
He guided them in this way, leading Yan Shuiyi and Su Youling to think about these issues. Yan Shuiyi believed that it would be more appropriate to nip the problem in the bud, as it wouldn't take more than a few years.
Su Youling felt it was time to settle down and thought it would be more appropriate to leave these matters to others.
The two sides discussed their respective views, becoming engrossed in the conversation. Taking advantage of this, Yun Chu'an quietly moved aside and came to the side.
Dongfang Yue understood and followed him to the side. There, the two met privately, one-on-one.
Yun Chu'an remained calm, as if victory was assured, and waited patiently for Dongfang Yue to speak next.
Dongfang Yue's cheeks flushed slightly. She bit her lower lip. Although she had prepared herself mentally all night, she was still a little nervous at this moment and couldn't say anything for a moment.
Time passed second by second, and seeing that she didn't speak, Yun Chu'an said softly, "Ask whatever you want. You don't need to hold back when it comes to me."
His tone was gentle, and upon hearing this, Dongfang Yue's tense body relaxed slightly.
She breathed a sigh of relief, composed herself, and then spoke softly, using the words she had painstakingly prepared the night before: "I do have something to ask you, um, what are your thoughts?"
Yun Chu'an looked puzzled: "What?"
"It's just..." Dongfang Yue lowered her head, wanting to ask about her senior sister, but she deliberately avoided the topic, "For example, you already have a wife, but Miss Hua Caiyan is clearly your sister-in-law..."
She said this, her face slightly flushed, her mind drifting back to that day, to the ambiguous scene she had accidentally discovered.
Before that night, she had some suspicions. After all, when she and Hua Caiyan were both unable to move due to poisoning, Yun Chuan applied medicine to them by stuffing pills into their anuses.
He euphemistically called it rectal administration, which was indeed effective, but it also exposed her entire genital area...
No, I can't think about it...
Dongfang Yue's face grew increasingly red. Previously, she had thought that this matter was over, after all, so many years had passed, and she hadn't thought about it again or had any reaction to it.
But today, for some reason, when she looked at him and thought about him, whenever those related things were mentioned, her thoughts started to drift uncontrollably, drifting back to those ambiguous and romantic things.
The more she floated around, the more she thought about it, the more uncontrollably she blushed. It was as if Yun Chu'an had given her an enema with warm water and then inserted the pill into her anus with his fingers to apply medicine—it all felt like yesterday.
They even started to feel something.
She lowered her head, her face flushed, and dared not look him in the eye.
Yun Chuan had no idea that while the girl was talking to him about serious matters, she was actually thinking about the experience of his fingers invading her anus.
He couldn't guess; seeing her blushing face, he thought it was just a normal teenage girl's first love.
Fortunately, even though he misjudged Dongfang Yue's tender thoughts, he was still able to correctly understand the meaning behind her words.
She wasn't talking about Hua Caiyan at all; she was talking about her senior sister Yan Shuiyi, or even herself.
Even Dongfang Yue herself doesn't dare to truly face her feelings right now.
With this thought in mind, he said in a deep voice, "I don't want to let down anyone who loves me."
Chapter 769 Sausage-Slicing Strategy
Yun Chuan'an's tone was firm and powerful, which immediately stirred Dongfang Yue's heart.
She gently pursed her lips, her heart fluttering, her body feeling as if it were melting.
She forced herself to calm down, pouted, and looked at him with obvious dissatisfaction: "How dare you! Are you so sure that he loves you?"
Yun Chuan carefully observed her eyes, and on her blushing face, an uncontrollable shyness, typical of a young girl, appeared.
He could clearly see the passionate light shimmering deep within those bright, watery eyes and dark pupils.
He took a half-step to the side, not aggressively, but suddenly moved closer to Dongfang Yue, getting a little closer to her.
His approach was perfectly measured. This brief moment of closeness gave Dongfang Yue a sense of warmth without startling her. It was like a perfect salami slicing tactic, gradually allowing her to accept this more intimate distance.
"I can't be sure, I'm just trying my best, doing my utmost," he said softly, "to ensure that those I love, and those who love me, are safe, happy, healthy..."
"This is the only goal I have been striving to achieve through my relentless cultivation."
When he said this, he was no longer referring to Hua Caiyan, but rather making a solemn promise to Dongfang Yue.
Dongfang Yue's soul was surging and trembling. A seed of a thought had long been planted in her heart, and now, upon hearing Yun Chu'an's words, it was as if she had encountered sweet rain, and she desperately wanted to take root, sprout, and break through the soil.
At that moment, she desperately wanted to cover her head and strangle that thought, suppress it, and push it back into her heart so that it would never grow again.
Deep inside her, a voice was screaming at her frantically, desperately:
"Stop thinking that way, Dongfang Yue. He's your brother-in-law. You can't make that mistake again!"
She screamed at herself inwardly, then blushed slightly, turned her head away, and dared not look him in the eye.
"Come on," she muttered. "Do you really think that many people like you..."
However, this meant she had completely surrendered her back to him. Whenever Yun Chuan wanted, he could easily pull her into a hug from behind.
As for Dongfang Yue, her mind was in a daze, and she didn't know whether she would resist if he really hugged her.
However, Yun Chu'an did not rush to make such a bold move. He gently reached forward and placed his hand on her shoulder.
From behind, the posture made it appear as if Yun Chu'an was actively embracing her shoulders. But it wasn't a real embrace; Dongfang Yue's body showed no reaction and no resistance.
