Chapter 341 328: Brother Pei, Why Are You So Skilled at Deceiving Girls?
As the door slowly opened, Qing Yueqiu's eyes landed on the face of her master, Pei Yuhang.
His face, usually so cold, handsome, and composed, now held a suggestive flush.
Even his eyes, normally so clear and distinct, had become alluring and brimming with passion.
Seeing this, Qing Yueqiu's heart clenched. It felt as if something was caught in her throat, and her voice dropped unconsciously.
"Ma… Master… what are you doing in Sister Lin's room?"
"Are… are you playing chess?"
She was no longer that ignorant and naive young girl. Under Pei Yuhang's careful guidance, she had come to understand many things.
Now, looking at her master's strange expression, an uneasy suspicion began to form. It was as if an invisible hand was plucking at a sensitive string deep inside her, filling the young woman with dread.
But faced with her most beloved master, she didn't dare to speak bluntly.
'If I just ask him, "Master, did you cheat on me with her while I was asleep?" he'll think I don't trust him at all!'
'What if he thinks I'm being too possessive, gets angry, and starts ignoring me? It wouldn't be worth it…'
In Qing Yueqiu's mind, being cheated on was a small matter; losing her Master's affection was the true disaster!
She couldn't let a simple case of infidelity destroy the bond between her and her master.
Qing Yueqiu had been through so much to finally be with her master. For the wonderful life they had, she was willing to turn a blind eye.
If a woman wanted a peaceful life, she had to be okay with a little cheating!
Of course, it would be better if there was no cheating at all. It wasn't like she had some weird fetish for it; she definitely didn't want to share her master.
Her eyes shifted slightly as she tried to peer past Pei Yuhang's body and into Lin Qianyan's boudoir, looking for any suspicious clothes scattered on the floor…
Of course, neither Qing Yueqiu's subtle movements nor her frantic thoughts escaped Pei Yuhang's notice.
Pei Yuhang coughed lightly, reached out with his long, slender fingers, and flicked Qing Yueqiu on the forehead.
"You silly girl, what crazy things are you imagining?"
Qing Yueqiu clutched her forehead. Seeing that her master had called her out on her thoughts, she actually felt a wave of relief.
'After all, when people do something immoral, they usually act guilty and evasive, right…?'
'But Master seems so composed, and his gaze is so clear. He probably hasn't done anything to betray me or our relationship.'
'I was just overthinking things!'
A weight was lifted from Qing Yueqiu's heart. The tension on her face slowly faded, replaced by a bright smile.
She blinked, lowered her head a bit shyly, and said in a soft, gentle voice,
"I'm sorry, Master… Yueqiu was just worried about you. What were you doing in Sister Lin's room, anyway?"
'What was I doing? We were doing…'
Pei Yuhang's muscles tensed slightly, but thankfully, she didn't notice the masterful "cheating" skills he had been forced to develop.
Pei Yuhang pondered for a moment, then said very calmly,
"Qianqian and I spent so long in the Illusion Technique, and there are still some aftereffects on our Divine Souls. So we need to check on each other."
Hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed in Qing Yueqiu's eyes. She said softly,
"Yueqiu… I can help you with your check-up too, Master."
Her voice was gentle, tinged with a probing tone, as if she were trying to claim something for herself.
"Check what? Your own injuries haven't even healed yet. Hurry back to your room and recuperate!"
Pei Yuhang decisively refused, then unceremoniously pushed Qing Yueqiu towards the door.
As she was pushed out, Qing Yueqiu's small, white-booted feet shuffled reluctantly.
She looked up at Pei Yuhang, her eyes filled with hurt and confusion, and asked softly,
"Master, are you going to stay in Sister Lin's room?"
"What, are you worried I'm going to eat the Saintess of the Jade Pool Sacred Land?"
'I'm obviously worried the Jade Pool Saintess is going to eat *you*…'
Seeing Pei Yuhang's insistence on pushing her out the door, Qing Yueqiu felt helpless and could only say,
"Well then, Master, if you need anything, just call me with the Transmission Token. I'm right next door…"
"Mm-hm."
After speaking, Pei Yuhang reached out and gently closed the door.
The moment the door closed, cutting off Qing Yueqiu's figure from view, Pei Yuhang's expression relaxed slightly.
He leaned his back against the door and let out a soft breath, the look in his eyes complex and unreadable, as if he were contemplating something.
Inside the boudoir, soft candlelight filtered through a light gauze curtain, falling on the bed and revealing a graceful figure.
The gauze curtain fluttered in the breeze, faintly revealing the figure lying languidly on her side. A light, teasing laugh drifted out.
"Brother Pei, why are you so practiced at deceiving girls?"
Pei Yuhang's expression stiffened. He scowled and changed the subject.
"Qianqian, it's all your fault I had to lie to Yueqiu! You said you were going to share your cultivation experience for reaching the Void Refining Realm with me, but instead, you just... Hmph!"
"Alright, alright, Brother Pei. Listening to you, it sounds as if you got the short end of the stick."
The gauze curtain swayed and slowly parted, revealing a pair of slender, jade-white calves. Her skin was exquisitely smooth, her legs beautifully sculpted.
Lin Qianyan was currently wrapped in only a few turns of milky-white silk. As she moved, the silk slid down slightly, revealing her delicate waist and the soft curve of her shoulders and neck.
She rose languidly from the bed, her bare feet landing on the soft carpet as she slowly walked toward Pei Yuhang.
Her bare, cherry-red toes pressed into the rug, each step seeming to carry a seductive rhythm.
When she reached Pei Yuhang's side, she leaned in slightly, extended a slender, jade-like finger, and gently poked his cheek. Her eyes held a mix of mischievous and doting affection.
"Cheer up, Brother Pei. Being so unhappy will affect Yumo's birth!"
"Time is precious. To help Yumo be born sooner, we should continue to work hard," she purred.
As Lin Qianyan spoke, she slowly wrapped her arms around Pei Yuhang's waist from behind.
Pei Yuhang felt the warm, silky touch of her skin against his back as the silk slipped away. His eyes flickered as he said,
"Qianqian… are you really ready to be pregnant with Yumo right now?"
"It's only been a few years since you became the Jade Pool Saintess. Getting pregnant at a time like this… it will cause a huge problem."
Before Pei Yuhang could finish, Lin Qianyan pressed a fingertip to his lips.
"Don't worry, Brother Pei. Qianqian always knows what she's doing."
"You shouldn't worry about my status. I want my position to be a help to you, Brother Pei, not a burden or a source of anxiety.
If this identity as the Jade Pool Saintess makes you so anxious, Brother Pei, then Qianqian will just give it up."
As she spoke, Lin Qianyan gently pushed Pei Yuhang against the wall, then used a fingertip to lift his chin.
The fair pad of her finger then slid slowly down, tracing over his collarbone, his chest muscles and abs, before continuing its descent—
"Brother Pei, from now on, just focus on me. Don't think about anything else, okay?"
