Guarding the River of Time

Chapter 417 - 407: Faint as Life, Interwoven Karmas

Soon, Su Mu felt himself lying on a soft bed, with a faint fragrance and the unique scent of a woman filling his nostrils, constantly assaulting his state of mind and soul.

However, despite being drunk and his mind a bit hazy, fortunately, his physique was strong enough not to completely lose consciousness.

After a while, Su Mu slowly opened his eyes, seeing the bed curtains before him. He shook his head, supported himself on the bed with both hands, and sat up.

He began to circulate his cultivation technique to dispel the intoxication constantly challenging his mental defenses.

Creak—

The door was pushed open.

A woman slowly walked in and gently closed the door behind her.

Through the window, strands of moonlit candlelight fell on the woman through the thin window veil.

The woman wore a purple robe. She slowly slipped off the purple robe to reveal a thin purple silken garment that perfectly outlined her proud curves. The silk only covered her thighs, leaving much to the imagination, her slender, fair legs exposed to the air, with a faint intoxicating fragrance in the air.

Her face was exceptionally beautiful, skin like creamy jade, now flushed with a reddish hue spreading from her neck to her chest, smiling and directly locking eyes with the meditating Su Mu on the bed.

The moment Su Mu’s gaze met hers, it was like falling into a drunken dreamland, slowly eroding his mental defenses.

With unparalleled beauty, natural allure, faint fragrance, and a mix of blush and jade.

Su Mu’s breathing became a bit heavier, uncontrollably.

Thud—

Thud—

Shen Cha walked towards Su Mu step by step. Her beautiful eyes were slightly wandering, almost overflowing with charm, but there was also a hint of fear and even some apprehension in her eyes.

Because she knew very well the identity and status of the man in front of her.

It was also her first time drinking this kind of wine. To keep up with the mood, she had almost reached her physical limit. If not for her drifting will keeping her together, desire might have overwhelmed her last line of mental defense, and she would have leaped forward.

"Senior, this is the sobering tea I brewed for you."

With that, Shen Cha gently handed the cup of tea she had prepared beforehand to Su Mu’s lips.

With a slight forward lean of her body, Su Mu could even feel Shen Cha’s breath, fragrant as orchids, and hear her chaotic heartbeat.

....

Su Mu slowly raised his head, looking at the face so close, the unnamed Divine Fire suddenly broke through his mental defenses, and the beast of desire also took over his body.

He swatted, shattering the teacup in her hand.

Clang—

Shen Cha was startled, and before she could react, a pair of broad, powerful hands wrapped around her slender waist, flipping her over and pressing her onto the bed.

The unique masculine scent enveloped her, making her unable to keep her mental defenses intact, letting out a slight gasp.

For she had never had any intimate contact with any man before.

Su Mu, like a beast, tore apart the clingy silk garment, revealing the bright jade-like skin without reservation.

Just when he was about to proceed to the next step, the intoxication directly hit his brain, causing him to lose consciousness and collapse onto her, lying motionless.

Shen Cha, being pressed down, dared not move, her heartbeat quickening constantly.

At this moment, she was very conflicted, not knowing what to do next.

"Leave."

Suddenly, her ear was itchy, hearing a deep voice sounding by her ear.

Shen Cha bit her lip gently, hesitating whether to leave or stay.....

In the end, she dared not take that step because she was a bit frightened, knowing the formidable background of this senior and fearing the consequences if she angered him.

Finally, she lay still, not moving an inch.

.....

Midnight.

Shen Cha’s face was turning redder, her body becoming hotter, as if she couldn’t hold on any longer. Who would have thought the wine she brewed would have another effect!

Suddenly, Su Mu slowly raised his head, his pupils blood-red, his breathing heavy. At this moment, he was completely unconscious, filled only with irresistible desire.

Looking at the man in front, Shen Cha let out a soft hum, extending her hands to fend him off.

Unfortunately.....

...

Outside, it suddenly began to rain lightly, droplets hitting the lotus leaves, making rhythmic, crisp sounds.

Although it was late at night, the sounds of people walking and laughter could still be heard along the streets. A fisherman on a boat was softly reciting poems: "The silver bottle suddenly shattered, spraying water and pulp, iron cavalry burst out, clashing swords and spears."

On the fishing boat, a few beautiful girls drinking flower wine also responded: "Jumbled plucking, mixed playing, large and small pearls fall on a jade plate.

"The cries of orioles glide beneath the flowers, the faint sobbid streams under the ice struggle."

...

The wine was indeed too intoxicating; Su Mu swore he had never been so completely drunk before.

He slept for three days and nights, only waking up on the third day.

He slowly opened his eyes, sat up, found himself lying on the bed, rubbed his temples, and began to recall what had happened earlier.

He remembered seemingly getting drunk, being helped back to the room to rest, and finally lying on the soft bed, then losing consciousness, remembering nothing thereafter.

All of a sudden, he suddenly discovered his cultivation.....had soared?!

He had leaped from the Unity Fifth Realm all the way to the Slaying Dao First Realm?!

That was a whole great realm increase.

Was yesterday’s wine that miraculous??

He got out of bed, discovering his inner clothes were neatly worn, and his outer robe was neatly folded beside him.

After getting dressed, he pushed the door open and went out.

Standing on the balcony, he discovered that he was in a pavilion.

This pavilion was built on a small island in the middle of a small lake in the city, surrounded by various flowers, grasses, and trees. The tranquil environment starkly contrasted with the bustling city outside.

Wasn’t this Du Ziren’s residence?

He extended his divine sense, finding himself the only person on the small island.

....

"Brother Su!"

"Brother Su!"

"I’m here!"

Su Mu looked down and saw a very luxurious Dragon Ship sailing on the lake, on whose deck stood none other than Du Ziren.

He leaped onto the Dragon Ship.

"Brother Su, I was so worried about you."

Seeing Su Mu return safely, Du Ziren breathed a sigh of relief.

"That crazy woman didn’t offend Brother Su, did she?"

Du Ziren asked tentatively, genuinely afraid of that crazy woman causing trouble, fearing the consequences if she angered the senior.

Hearing this, Su Mu was also stunned.

So, it was Shen Cha who sent him back last night?

So, the pavilion on the small island is Shen Cha’s residence.
