Chapter 345 332: Master, Yueqiu Will Just Cuddle
After Lin Qianyan slipped behind the screen, her gaze swept across the room and landed on the little head of Ji Xichan, crouching in a wooden tub.
Their eyes met, and they both froze, falling into a brief silence.
Lin Qianyan's brow furrowed slightly, a flicker of surprise in her eyes.
Ji Xichan, on the other hand, stared wide-eyed, an embarrassed blush creeping onto her pretty face. Her lips parted as if to speak, but she didn't seem to know what to say.
Amid this delicate atmosphere, Qing Yueqiu's crisp, urgent knock sounded from outside the door again.
Lin Qianyan's heart clenched. With no time for words, she quickly formed a hand seal and chanted an incantation. Her figure instantly vanished into thin air, leaving only a faint, lingering fragrance behind.
At the same time, she sent a voice transmission to Pei Yuhang:
[Brother Pei, hurry up and open the door for Yueqiu. If she gets impatient, she'll suspect you're hiding a lover... and not just one!]
"…"
Pei Yuhang knew he couldn't hide it anymore. He cursed inwardly, 'This Ji Xichan is completely useless! More of a hindrance than a help!'
'My magnificent image in Qianqian's eyes is completely ruined now!'
He had just spent an intimate afternoon with Qianqian, promising to cherish her for the rest of his life. But as soon as evening fell, he had another woman in his room…
'If I say nothing happened, will Qianqian believe me?'
Pei Yuhang sighed helplessly. He walked to the door, preparing to open it for his impatient disciple.
The moment the door opened, Qing Yueqiu's nervous little face appeared.
"Master, what took you so long? If Sister Lin next door discovers me knocking on your door in the middle of the night, our secret will be exposed!"
Qing Yueqiu whispered her complaint as she tiptoed inside, gently closing the door behind her with the delicate movements of a startled kitten.
Pei Yuhang looked at his overly cautious disciple and felt a strong urge to tell her something.
'Everyone on the entire Spiritual Ship is in this room right now, Yueqiu. You really don't need to be so tense.'
Seeing Pei Yuhang's hesitant expression, Qing Yueqiu's pretty cheeks puffed out in displeasure.
"What is it, Master? Are you unhappy that I came to see you?"
A flicker of panic crossed Pei Yuhang's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"No, of course I'm happy to see you, Yueqiu… But didn't I say I needed to rest and recover alone tonight?"
Qing Yueqiu arched a delicate brow, then gave Pei Yuhang a look from her beautiful, crimson eyes, which were brimming with endless passion.
"Master, your mind always jumps to the worst conclusions. I didn't come here to do… *that*. I just want you to sleep with me, that's all. I won't disturb your recovery."
As she spoke, Qing Yueqiu took a bold step forward and embraced Pei Yuhang. The silver-haired girl buried her face in his chest, inhaling deeply.
Her beautiful eyes glazed over, and an infatuated smile graced her lips.
'On the first night after Master's seal was finally broken, I can finally smell his wonderful scent again. It's just as reassuring as I remember.'
Only at this moment did the girl's heart truly find peace.
"Master, can you hold me while we sleep tonight?"
The silver-haired girl's voice was soft, as if she were murmuring in a dream.
"Yueqiu, I still need to rest and recover…"
Pei Yuhang said helplessly, still hoping Yueqiu would return to her own room. With Qianqian and Ji Xichan still there, how could he possibly fall asleep peacefully while holding his beloved disciple?
"It's fine, Master. I'll just hold you, I won't do anything else~"
"Really, Master. You can trust me."
Qing Yueqiu lifted her pretty face, her beautiful crimson eyes wide. Her gaze was so pure, so devoid of any wicked intent, that it made Pei Yuhang feel inexplicably ashamed.
'A man like me, entangled in so many messy relationships and with a Dao Companion already… by accepting the affections of such a young and beautiful girl, am I not just hurting Yueqiu?'
For a moment, Pei Yuhang was filled with a complex mix of emotions.
[Brother Pei, just agree to it. You know how stubborn Yueqiu is better than I do. If you can soothe her and get her to sleep, then I and… the other beauty you're hiding will be able to get out of here.]
Lin Qianyan's voice echoed in his Sea of Consciousness again. Pei Yuhang's eyes flickered, and he finally spoke in a low voice.
"…Yueqiu, promise me. We'll just sleep while I hold you. Nothing else."
"Mhm, Yueqiu won't do anything!"
Seeing that her master had finally agreed, Qing Yueqiu quickly raised a small hand as if making a solemn oath.
「A few moments later.」
The two of them were lying on the bed, each under their own small quilt.
Being watched by the two other women in the room, Pei Yuhang naturally found it impossible to sleep. He kept his eyes shut, pretending to be asleep, planning to wait until Yueqiu was soundly sleeping before getting Qianqian and Ji Xichan out.
However, a sudden rustling sound came from beside him.
Pei Yuhang's eyes snapped open. He felt a restless body squirming under his quilt, and then a small hand wrapped shamelessly around his waist from behind.
She pressed her ample chest tightly against his back.
"Yueqiu, didn't you promise to behave and just sleep?"
Feeling Lin Qianyan's gaze on him, Pei Yuhang swallowed hard, a bead of sweat forming on his forehead.
In response, Qing Yueqiu aimed her pink lips at Pei Yuhang's earlobe and blew a gentle, warm, fragrant breath.
"That's right. Yueqiu needs to hold Master to sleep.
But it's too inconvenient for us to each have our own quilt, so please just bear with me, Master. I'll just squeeze in and share with you~"
Feeling her small hand teasing his abs, Pei Yuhang just muttered, "I'm exhausted. I need to rest today. I really have to get to sleep," and closed his eyes again.
The room fell silent once more, leaving only the sound of Pei Yuhang and Qing Yueqiu's even breathing.
Suddenly, Pei Yuhang felt something and his brow furrowed slightly.
He grabbed the girl's mischievous hand and said angrily, "Yueqiu, what are you doing!"
"I'm sorry, Master. Yueqiu didn't mean to rub against you…" Qing Yueqiu whimpered, her soft, sweet voice capable of evoking a listener's protective instincts.
"Just go to sleep!"
Pei Yuhang closed his eyes again, but the girl behind him wouldn't let him be.
"Master… let's get a little closer. Can you hold me? It's a bit cold tonight."
Wanting to get her to finally fall asleep, Pei Yuhang gave in. He turned over and held the girl in his arms.
His hand touched skin that was impossibly delicate, warm, and as smooth as jade.
This made Pei Yuhang's expression freeze.
"Yueqiu! You girl, how could you…"
"Master, I'm not used to sleeping with clothes on, so I had to get into the covers naked."
On the dimly lit bed, the girl blinked at Pei Yuhang, her eyes twinkling with cunning and triumph.
She hugged Pei Yuhang's waist tightly, preventing him from getting angry and turning his back on her again.
"Master, you promised me you'd hold Yueqiu while we sleep! As a master, you can't lie to your disciple!"
Pei Yuhang took a deep breath, said no more, and closed his eyes again.
But this time, it was his turn to be unable to sleep.
Holding such a warm, fragrant, jade-like beauty in his arms.
He could feel his heart pounding faster and faster, blood rushing through his veins as his body grew increasingly hot.
Qing Yueqiu felt something, and her pink lips curled into a triumphant smirk.
She gently caressed Pei Yuhang's collarbone, her fingertips hooking his lapel as she spoke in a teasing tone.
"Master, it seems you're not used to sleeping with clothes on, either. Look, you're already sweating~"
"None of your business! You, girl, behave yourself! I need to rest and recover tonight!"
Pei Yuhang slapped her hand away. Taking a deep breath, he used immense willpower to suppress the wicked flames stirring within him, refusing to fall for the tricks of the little Fox Spirit in his arms.
'Qianqian is still watching me.'
'I must not lose!'
