Throne of Seals: Underworld Priest, Demon Nightmare

Chapter 31 Cai'er's Nightgown, Lan Yanyu's Shock!

After the demon army was defeated, Chu Zichen and his group left the Demon Exorcism Pass and returned to their camp.

Chu Zichen first convened a brief meeting with the women.

The main topic of the meeting was the distribution of merits.

Chu Zichen proposed that everyone share the credit equally, so as to improve the team's overall capabilities.

None of the women objected, and they agreed.

So they all took out their merit test gems and gave all their merits to Chu Zichen.

The total merit points accumulated by all participants exceeded 3500 points, which was truly substantial.

Li Xuefei earned the most merit points; her wind magic could easily wipe out large areas of low-level demons, making her extremely efficient at killing enemies.
Next were Cai'er, Li Xin, and Wang Yuanyuan. With Chu Zichen's assistance, they also displayed great prowess, killing countless enemies, especially the three sixth-tier fire demon puppets, which they ultimately defeated.

Then came Chen Ying'er.

As for Chu Zichen, he had the fewest, since he spent most of his time providing support from the back.

However, his support also greatly improved the efficiency with which his teammates earned merit points.

If he focuses on killing enemies, he may have more personal merit points, but the team's overall merit points may not necessarily be more.

After distributing the merit points equally, Chu Zichen ended the meeting.

After their bloody battle, the women quickly washed themselves in the washroom, took off their dirty military uniforms, changed into clean underwear, and then went back to bed to cultivate.

After this battle, Li Xin clearly felt that her fourth-tier bottleneck had loosened, and she might be able to break through to the fifth tier soon.

The others also benefited greatly, finding that combat was indeed the most effective way to stimulate their own cultivation.

Soon, Cai'er, having changed her clothes, took Chu Zichen's hand and led him to their little home.

"Zichen, let's cultivate together."

Cai'er was wearing only a thin, cool nightgown. The moonlight from outside the window shone through the gaps in the curtains onto her profile, outlining a soft contour.

As soon as she finished speaking, she sat cross-legged on the inner side of the bed, her soft hair falling casually, her eyes gently closed, and began to enter a state of spiritual energy cultivation.

With the warm, fragrant beauty before him, Chu Zichen gently stroked Cai'er's hair, inhaling the sweet scent emanating from her. He quickly sat cross-legged, focusing his mind and cultivating.

For a moment, only the two people's even breathing could be heard in the small space, as if the whole world had quieted down.

……

After cultivating until he was mentally exhausted, Chu Zichen took the initiative to hug Cai'er and fall asleep.

Although Cai'er was a little shy, she still nestled in his arms like a little bird, and a peaceful happiness rippled through her heart.

Chu Zichen looked down at her peaceful sleeping face—the faint sorrow between her brows had temporarily disappeared, leaving only childlike innocence.

He closed his eyes contentedly and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, as the first rays of dawn seeped through the gaps in the curtains, Chu Zichen was the first to wake up.

He remained in the embracing position, with Cai'er nestled in his arms, her sleeping face as peaceful as ever.

That usually cold and aloof, exquisite face had shed all its icy demeanor and defensiveness.

The faint blush on her cheeks, like peach blossoms in the morning dew, melted this cold and ruthless assassin queen into a lovable and alluring languid beauty.

Cai'er's nightgown was also slightly disheveled, hanging halfway on her body, outlining her rounded shoulders and delicate collarbones, revealing a large expanse of her fair and delicate skin, which shimmered with a luminous glow in the morning light.

Especially her full and perky breasts, rising and falling slightly with her steady breathing, created a breathtaking scene.

Chu Zichen watched Cai'er quietly, unwilling to spoil this beautiful scene. Suddenly, Cai'er, still asleep, let out a very soft, sweet moan that touched the heart, and unconsciously twisted her body, snuggling deeper into Chu Zichen's warm and firm embrace.

Seeing her so unguarded and completely dependent, Chu Zichen's heart felt as if it were filled with something soft. He couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Cai'er's silky smooth cheek with his fingertips.

"Hmm..." Cai'er seemed to sense the movement outside, her long eyelashes trembled a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Those purple eyes, which were usually filled with a coldness, were now misty with moisture as they looked at Chu Zichen, who was so close to them, with a hazy look in their eyes.

Immediately, she realized that she was nestled tightly in Chu Zichen's arms, and that she was disheveled and exposed.

With a "whoosh," Cai'er immediately felt a scalding heat spread from the base of her neck to the tips of her ears, and two red clouds quickly rose on her small cheeks.

"Cai'er, you're awake. Did you sleep well last night?" Chu Zichen couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Cai'er's rare display of girlishness.

"Still looking!" Cai'er couldn't help but glare at Chu Zichen coquettishly, quickly breaking free from his embrace and tidying up her nightgown.

At the same time, Li Xin, Li Xuefei, Wang Yuanyuan, and Chen Ying'er had also woken up.

"I slept so well last night! It's so comfortable sleeping with Sister Yuanyuan!" Chen Ying'er stretched and exclaimed, puffing out her budding chest.

"You slept so comfortably, but I had a terrible time. Ying'er, do you know that you talk in your sleep and grind your teeth at night?" Wang Yuanyuan pinched her cheek and couldn't help but complain.

"What? I...I don't know!" Chen Ying'er exclaimed, immediately covering her blushing face in embarrassment.

Li Xin and Li Xuefei couldn't help but laugh.

"Dong dong dong."

Just then, there was a knock on the door of their barracks.

"Who is it?" Li Xuefei asked.

"I am Lan Yanyu, the leader of the Exorcist Guild. Is Cai'er here?" A mature female voice came from outside the door; it was Lan Yanyu.

Li Xuefei quickly opened the door and bowed to Lan Yanyu.

Lan Yanyu nodded and then walked into the barracks, but Cai'er was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, Chu Zichen and Cai'er, who had heard the noise, appeared from the same bed, leaving Lan Yanyu stunned.

Zichen and Cai'er... actually slept in the same bed last night?
"Aunt Lan, what brings you here?"

Chu Zichen held Cai'er's little hand and asked.

"I...I just wanted to see Cai'er. Um, Zichen, you're all still too young. Some things should wait until you're older..."

Although Lan Yanyu had already decided in her heart that Chu Zichen was her son-in-law, he and Cai'er were only 14 years old after all. Wasn't this too early?
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Cai'er, whose face was still flushed, immediately blushed again.

"Aunt Lan, we know our limits."

Chu Zichen knew that Lan Yanyu had misunderstood, so he quickly explained.

Hearing this, Lan Yanyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that after Chu Zichen and Cai'er slept in the same bed, things might accidentally escalate.

"By the way, Aunt Lan, how is Uncle Sheng?"

Chu Zichen suddenly remembered something and asked a question.
