Chapter 132 Don't Go Too Far

"Sure," Xiao Ke replied without hesitation.

How could he possibly allow other people with ulterior motives to be around Shen Youqing!
Apart from him, no one else with impure intentions should exist.

At this moment, the possessiveness surging in her peach blossom eyes was abnormally thick and heavy.

The man, whose face was incomparably handsome, appeared somewhat sickly in the candlelight. His eyes were filled with a mixture of possessiveness and lust, and his burning gaze was almost scalding.

Shen Youqing didn't know when she discovered that she could move again.

The first thing she did when she could move was to raise her hand to block the scorching gaze.

That look in his eyes was simply... indescribable!
Xiao Ke obediently lowered his head, letting Shen Youqing's hand cover his eyes.

His docile demeanor softened his aggressive and fierce aura, making him appear more peaceful and reserved.

He looked strangely like a fierce wild beast that had been tamed and had sheathed its fangs, showing a docile side to its tamer.

Without that intensely aggressive gaze, Shen Youqing felt much more at ease.

However, Xiao Ke was not a docile person.

He reached out and touched Shen Youqing's arm, then climbed up her arm until he finally grasped her shoulder.

"Qingqing." A soft, tender whisper.

Shen Youqing's hand covering Xiao Ke's eyes trembled slightly, and her ears had turned as red as pomegranates without her noticing.

Xiao Ke raised his hand and covered Shen Youqing's hand that was covering his eyes, their intimate gestures filled with ambiguity.

The thick, long eyelashes beneath her palm trembled slightly, brushing against Shen Youqing's palm like feathers, sending a tingling sensation from her palm to her heart.

"Qingqing."

The low murmur contained so much emotion, so tender and captivating.

Shen Youqing tried to raise her other hand to cover Xiao Ke's mouth, but Xiao Ke seemed to have already noticed.

Long, beautiful, well-defined fingers forcefully squeezed between Shen Youqing's fingers, interlocking with hers.

The palms pressed tightly together were burning hot.

Shen Youqing's body was numbed by the scorching heat spreading from his palm.

After letting out a barely audible sigh, Shen Youqing withdrew her hand from Xiao Ke's eyes.

"Don't go too far." Xiao Ke's slightly reddened peach blossom eyes were reflected in her beautiful, aloof phoenix eyes, which seemed pitiful yet captivating.

Shen Youqing silently muttered to himself, "Male vixen."

"What?" Xiao Ke asked, sounding completely innocent.

His hand, which was intertwined with Shen Youqing's, was restless. His slender fingers caressed the porcelain-white, delicate skin, and the cool, jade-like touch made him reluctant to let go.

"..." Shen Youqing didn't know whether she should tell Xiao Ke directly, but a strange intuition told her that there might be danger if she did.

So Shen Youqing simply said, "Senior brother, if the person I like after I reach the Integration Stage is you, I will become your Daoist partner."

The words, which sounded like a promise, made Xiao Ke's eyes light up suddenly. His already beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with countless stars, deep and dazzling, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

The next second, Shen Youqing was tightly embraced by Xiao Ke.

Shen Youqing was not surprised at all by this.

However, because Xiao Ke was only wearing a thin undergarment, his warm body temperature was transmitted to him even more directly.

Shen Youqing felt as if he had been placed in a furnace.

"Senior brother, why is your body temperature so high?" Shen Youqing finally asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time.

Xiao Ke squeezed Shen Youqing's soft, boneless hand. "Isn't your body temperature a little low?"

Shen Youqing was like a piece of jade, cool and gentle, making one want to hold her all the time.

"No, right?" Shen Youqing pondered before speaking. "Shen Quelin's body temperature isn't hot, but yours is almost like a furnace."

They are all fire elemental roots, but Xiao Ke's body temperature is higher than that of the other fire elemental roots.

Xiao Ke pondered the reason seriously. After a while, he lowered his head and whispered a few words in Shen Youqing's ear.

"..." The blush on Shen Youqing's earlobes instantly spread to her neck. With a blank face, she pushed Xiao Ke away without any mercy. "It's late, Senior Brother, you should rest!"

"Qingqing really doesn't want to?" Xiao Ke asked, unwilling to give up. "Maybe..." Upon receiving Shen Youqing's slightly murderous glare, Xiao Ke had no choice but to shut up.

Shen Youqing picked up the outer garment that had fallen to the ground and put it aside before leaving.

When she returned upstairs, she saw Shen Quelin standing at the top of the stairs waiting for someone.

When Shen Quelin met Shen Youqing, who was as beautiful and charming as a peach blossom, he thought he was blind.

If he didn't pretend to be blind, he might rush down and chop Xiao Ke to pieces.

Receiving a speechless glare from Shen Quelin, Shen Youqing coughed awkwardly.

It felt like I'd been caught red-handed, even though she hadn't done anything wrong.

"Some bad news," Shen Quelin said.

Shen Youqing glanced at the man and gestured with his eyes for him to stop beating around the bush and just say what he wanted to say.

"Madam Rong has made her move." Shen Quelin said as he walked towards Shen Youqing's room. "Sect Leader Zhang gave Madam Rong a long-lost elixir formula as payment."

Shen Youqing was not surprised.

He is, after all, a highly talented direct disciple; the Qingyu Sect and the Shen family will not give up on him so easily.

"The Second Elder told me that you almost killed Shen Qiuluo," Shen Quelin said again.

Shen Youqing responded, a hint of coldness creeping into his expression.

Shen Quelin knew that Elder Shen Er's original intention was for him to persuade Shen Youqing not to be so impulsive, but, "There will be opportunities in the future."

There's no way to persuade him. If Shen Youqing wants to kill someone, he'll just hand him the knife. If Shen Youqing kills someone, he'll dig a pit and bury the body.

Shen Youqing nodded, his gaze softening slightly.

After escorting Shen Youqing to the door, Shen Quelin handed her the ghost baby and said, "Get some rest."

"You too."

-

The next day.

Shen Youqing went to Qiuzi Village with Jiang Chenying and a few others, accompanied only by Shen Quelin.

As for the other disciples, they were either cultivating or resting.

It was afternoon when the group of eight returned to Qianyu City.

Shen Youqing had barely arrived at the inn when the Duanmu family head invited him to treat Duanmu Jingyun.

Duanmu Jingyun, leaning against the bed, watched as the aloof and noble Shen Youqing raised her hand to form a hand seal, a hint of obscurity flashing in her eyes.

Calm and elegant, every movement is crisp and clean, with an indescribable charm.

Shen Youqing, who doesn't speak, is a beauty, and a cold beauty with excellent temperament.

After the healing array ended, Shen Youqing turned and left, decisively leaving Duanmu Jingyun no chance to speak.

As soon as the head of the Duanmu family entered, he saw his son staring intently at the doorway.

After realizing what he meant, the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily. "You've taken a fancy to Miss Shen?"

"Hmm." Duanmu Jingyun seemed to be savoring the memory. "It's hard to imagine what she would be like if her cold and arrogant demeanor were transformed into something gentle and tender."

"You might die." The head of the Duanmu family said mercilessly, and continued to attack, "That's not just indifference, she's practically heartless and devoid of love. Don't even dream about it in broad daylight."

"Father!" Duanmu Jingyun said irritably, "If this matter really comes to fruition, then my Duanmu family and the Yue family will be related by marriage. It's one thing if you don't support your son, but why are you trying to undermine him?"

"I'm afraid you'll court death," the Duanmu family head warned. "You'd better not provoke him, or you'll be waiting to die!"

Speaking of this, Duanmu Jingyun remembered Shen Qiuluo and asked her about it.

"Duanmu Rong has made his move," the Duanmu family head said coldly. "You should go to Qingyu Sect immediately and not linger."

Although there was no evidence, he knew that Duanmu Rong was inextricably linked to Duanmu Jingyun's poisoning.

He'll definitely hold Duanmu Rong responsible for this!

Duanmu Jingyun was not very aware of the grudges of the previous generation, but he knew that his life was important.
