Zhao Shuning had a thousand words and ten thousand thoughts in her mouth.
But at this moment, they were all stuck in her heart, and she couldn't utter a single one.
What was wrong with her Master?
Was he poisoned?
Or was he blind?
Or perhaps, possessed by a ghost?
Zhao Shuning shook her head, trying to shake these messy thoughts out of her head.
Because of Zhao Shuning's movement.
Yan Ruyu just came to his senses and quickly pulled away from Zhao Shuning's lips.
That kiss just now was like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Extremely short, extremely short.
Yan Ruyu thought that since Zhao Shuning shook her head, she must have disagreed with his touch.
Zhao Shuning, on the other hand, thought that the reason her Master didn't continue must be that he smelled the flavor of the leek dumplings she ate in the room tonight.
If she had known her Master was going to kiss her today.
No matter what, she would have washed herself clean, refrained from eating any meat all day, and never touched the plate of leek dumplings Huan'er brought.
When Yan Ruyu wasn't looking, Zhao Shuning licked her lips, feeling a sense of still craving more.
Really, it was such a pity.
Maybe there would never be such an opportunity again in the future.
In the house under the moonlit flowers, the two were making love.
But on the roof, Zhao Shuning touched her nose and felt quite embarrassed.
Those two people were still at it so late at night. Weren't they tired? If they kept this up all night, would she and her Master have to stay on the roof all night?
"Um, Master, do you have something important to do?"
"No."
"Or are you hungry? I'll go find some food for you."
"Not hungry."
"Then Master, why do you look like you're going to eat someone?"
Yan Ruyu turned back, leaned forward, and looked into Zhao Shuning's eyes seriously. Zhao Shuning looked back at Yan Ruyu in the same way.
Her Master's pair of deep blue eyes were really too beautiful.
Moreover, her Master's perfect facial features and skin that seemed to break at a touch made Zhao Shuning sink deeply into them as soon as she looked.
If such a perfect Master belonged to her, how wonderful that would be.
"I do want to eat someone, but she won't let me."
Yan Ruyu's words gently landed beside Zhao Shuning's ear.
Zhao Shuning's heart kept pounding. What did her Master mean by this?
"Master, I don't taste good."
Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment, straightened up, and looked at Zhao Shuning, saying, "Yes, perhaps I can't eat you yet."
I need to fatten you up a bit more.
Zhao Shuning thought that her Master was really acting strange tonight.
She looked up and thought that the moon was really round tonight.
Right, on the night of the full moon, her Master's illness?
"Don't worry. I took a hot spring bath before I came."
Zhao Shuning let out a sigh of relief.
Then she realized something and quickly asked, "Master, how can you peek into my thoughts without permission?"
Yan Ruyu turned sideways, looked at Zhao Shuning, and said, "Can't I?"
Zhao Shuning's heart started pounding uncontrollably again.
What's going on? Whenever her Master looked at her with this kind of look, why did she just want to do something wrong?
Moreover, when her Master said this, he looked so domineering.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Of course, it was okay. If her Master was willing, she could even give herself to him.
Immediately, Zhao Shuning quickly covered her mouth.
But it was already too late.
A nice curve appeared on Yan Ruyu's lips. As soon as Zhao Shuning saw it, she was mesmerized.
"Give yourself to me?"
"No, no, no. I was just talking nonsense. What I was thinking in my heart wasn't what I wanted to say. Bah, bah, bah. No, I mean I was just daydreaming. Master, don't take it seriously."
How could she forget that her Master had just read her thoughts? How dared she continue talking?
"But I took it seriously. What should I do?"
"Master, you're very different from usual tonight."
"Very different?"
Zhao Shuning nodded heavily and said seriously, "Yes, very different."
Yan Ruyu stood up.
The night wind blew his green robe.
Zhao Shuning looked at her Master's back and thought he looked so lonely.
"Ning'er, have you ever done the same thing repeatedly, a thing that is cumbersome and repetitive, and you've been doing it for a thousand years?"
Zhao Shuning shook her head. Then she remembered that her Master was facing away from her and couldn't see, so she quickly said, "No."
"How lucky you are that you haven't."
Yan Ruyu said, "In the past, I would only stay on Qingyun Peak, looking at the star - disk formation, or wander around the Nine Provinces Continent, but I rarely stayed in one place for long."
Zhao Shuning recalled.
Her Master had stayed in the Zhao Mansion for a while, and she was there at that time.
"I stayed in the Zhao Mansion for a while. You were there at that time."
Sure enough.
"I also stayed in the sect for a while. You were there at that time too."
Zhao Shuning understood what her Master meant. Did it mean that she was slowing him down? Otherwise, at this moment, he could be lying quietly in the cave on Qingyun Peak, being served by Tingbai and Muwan?
"Ning'er, do you understand?"
"I understand."
"It's precisely because you're here that I'm willing to stay in one place for several days."
Zhao Shuning lowered her head in shame.
"Master, don't worry. In the future, I'll definitely strengthen my cultivation. After I deal with that old scoundrel Lin Feng, I'll practice the mental method you taught me every night. I'll never let you worry about me or clean up my mess again."
Yan Ruyu smiled, his expression warm.
"If you think so, then think so."
Zhao Shuning tugged at the corner of Yan Ruyu's robe and said, "Master, are you angry with me?"
"No."
Yan Ruyu added, "I won't be angry with you."
Zhao Shuning let out a sigh of relief.
Just as Zhao Shuning was about to say something else to ease the awkward atmosphere, Yan Ruyu suddenly sensed something.
"Ning'er, I have something to do. I'll leave first."
"Okay, Master, see—"
Before she could even finish saying "see you later", Yan Ruyu disappeared, and Zhao Shuning's body began to turn from transparent to solid.
She looked at the sky and then at the two people still going at it in the room.
Zhao Shuning shrugged and then jumped down.
Since they weren't done yet, she could only go and squeeze in with Huan'er. She had to conserve her energy tonight because there would surely be a good show tomorrow.
Maybe she would even have to step in herself.
Zhao Shuning quietly walked to Huan'er's room and then pushed open the door.
As she got closer, Zhao Shuning saw that Huan'er was sleeping soundly, with drool hanging from the corner of her mouth.
It seemed that she had thought too much today. She had thought the noise next door would disturb Huan'er and had specifically told her not to come out no matter what she heard.
Judging from the current situation, even if there was lightning, thunder, and howling wind, it probably wouldn't wake up this girl Huan'er.
Zhao Shuning shook her head.
She took two sets of bedding from her Qiankun bag, laid them on the ground, and slowly fell asleep.
