Dao Companion Crippled, Coveters Move

Chapter 168 - 167: You Bad Sword Immortal, Spanking My Butt Again! See If I Don't Scratch You

Pei Yuhang's movements became gentle. He carefully tended to the young woman in his arms, treating her like a delicate flower, afraid he might hurt her with even the slightest force.

This kind of caress, this feeling of being so cherished, was something Ji Xichan had never experienced from Pei Yuhang before.

She held Pei Yuhang's face and couldn't help but kiss him.

Pei Yuhang's hands stiffened for a moment.

He had once made a pact with Yu Gu Nan that they would not kiss... because a kiss represented true feelings, something he wanted to reserve for his Dao Companion alone.

However, perhaps sensing Ji Xichan's bewildered and complex emotions at that moment, Pei Yuhang didn't push the young woman away.

'This is the last time,' Pei Yuhang thought.

Ji Xichan inhaled the pleasant scent from Pei Yuhang's body, feeling the beautiful harmony of the Great Dao, and sank into it, unable to pull herself away.

Like Eve in the Garden of Eden tasting the forbidden fruit for the first time, it was an unprecedented experience.

The kind that could make one lose themselves completely.

However—

Pei Yuhang suddenly looked up, startling Ji Xichan, who was savoring the beauty of her first kiss.

"Gu Nan, this will be our last kiss. There won't be a next time."

The Pei Sword Immortal's voice was like a bucket of cold water poured over Ji Xichan's head, yanking her from her beautiful dream back to reality.

It meant his recent gentleness and affection were all for Yu Gu Nan.

And he was thinking of his Dao Companion at every moment.

In short, not a single shred of his love was reserved for her, Ji Xichan.

Right now, the only reason Ji Xichan was able to lie in Pei Yuhang's arms was that she had taken on Yu Gu Nan's identity.

Without this identity, Pei Yuhang would have been just like he was in the first karmic divination—he wouldn't have submitted to her, even when faced with a threat.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her breathing grew ragged.

She stared at Pei Yuhang's face, so close to her own, her beautiful yet cold features twisting with blazing jealousy and resentment.

'Why did you save me back then, lead me onto the path of cultivation, but not see it through to the end?'

Ji Xichan murmured this, but then she smiled with an air of release.

'No, of course you have no obligation. You're not the one at fault. It's me. Greedy me.'

'I don't want us to just be strangers who met by chance.'

'I want to walk with you forever...'

As Ji Xichan thought of this, the desire in her heart became a flame, consuming her body.

She transformed into a frenzied beast and began to take her revenge on him.

SPLASHING sounds, like a string of firecrackers, exploded one after another. The turbulent noise echoed endlessly in the enclosed space of the underground Cold Spring.

The Pei Sword Immortal frowned.

'This is almost funny. Does this girl really think she's invincible just because I'm going easy on her?'

Pei Yuhang stood up, towering over the Cold Spring.

Ji Xichan clung to him like a koala, looking as if she might fall off at any moment, but she held on tight, refusing to let go.

SLAP—

The sound of a slap on her bottom echoed through the Cold Spring cavern.

"You little rascal, why did you suddenly scratch me with your claws!"

Ji Xichan's mind was in a daze. The slap on her bottom sent a jolt like electricity through her entire body, and she almost fell apart completely.

She couldn't help but scratch Pei Yuhang again. The moment she realized what she'd done, Ji Xichan cursed inwardly, but Pei Yuhang's hand was already swinging down.

"You're still scratching me!"

HSSS—!!

Ji Xichan clenched her teeth with all her might to keep from crying out, but she only clawed at Pei Yuhang harder.

This time, she did it on purpose.

'That damn Pei Sword Immortal hit my butt again... and he said he doesn't like spanking girls? What a hypocrite! See if I don't scratch you to pieces!'

After her scratch caused Pei Yuhang pain, Ji Xichan didn't even have time to feel smug before more heavy slaps landed on her fair little bottom.

Clearly, she was the one who would suffer for angering the Sword Immortal.

After the relentless lesson of his slaps, she could finally hold out no longer.

...

...

Ji Xichan was an extremely talented young woman, surpassing a small-fry Dao Companion like Ye Liyuan right from her debut.

Unfortunately, her opponent was the invincible Pei Yuhang.

No matter how unwilling she was to concede, she soon lay there like a salted fish, utterly defeated.

Ji Xichan's beautiful eyes rolled back; it seemed she still hadn't fully come to her senses.

But even so, she still clung to Pei Yuhang, not letting him leave.

Her never-say-die spirit was worthy of praise.

Pei Yuhang hadn't expected today's "disciple" to be so resilient.

He blew softly on Ji Xichan's earlobe:

"Can you still go on?"

Feeling the tingling sensation in her ear, Ji Xichan almost let out a soft moan.

...

...

Yu Gu Nan silently watched the decadent scene before her.

She was like a silent, numb statue of a wronged party, quietly watching her beloved Master with Ji Xichan.

Fortunately, Ji Xichan finally collapsed from exhaustion. This meant Yu Gu Nan would no longer have to painfully watch her beloved Master be deceived and toyed with by that despicable woman.

Meanwhile, Ji Xichan lay limply in the Cold Spring, her mind a complete blank, not wanting to think about anything at all.

However, she still subconsciously summarized the battle that had just occurred.

9-1.

Pei Yuhang had won nine times and lost only once.

What terrifying combat prowess. And this was after Yu Gu Nan had already worn down the enemy's stamina at the beginning.

'But I'll save the post-battle analysis for later.'

Right now, Pei Yuhang was about to take off the veil. The real show was about to begin~

Ji Xichan looked up at Pei Yuhang, who was slowly getting to his feet in front of her. He let out a long breath and stretched his powerful, masculine, yet slender body.

"Gu Nan, you must be more careful. In the future, when I tell you to get up, you need to do it right away."

As he spoke, Pei Yuhang took off the white veil from his face.

But the shy face of Yu Gu Nan he expected to see did not appear. The woman before him...

...was someone he could never have imagined.

Pei Yuhang froze on the spot. It was so unbelievable that his ears started ringing, and he felt as though his soul and body had fallen out of sync.

"No, impossible—"

"Wait, Xichan... you and I."

Before Pei Yuhang could finish his wooden mutter, he was interrupted by Ji Xichan's beaming smile.

The young woman stood up, walked over to Pei Yuhang, and gave him a playful wink.

Her breath was as fragrant as an orchid, and she seemed like a lively pixie.

"Pei Sword Immortal, what just happened wasn't a dream, you know."

"We're together now..."

Ji Xichan looked at Pei Yuhang—his eyes filled with terror, all his usual calm and indifference to worldly changes gone—and the corners of her mouth curved into a morbid smile.

'A flustered Pei Sword Immortal... how adorable~!'
