Chapter 164 - A Warm Night

"Lord Jiu Shen, please wait a moment. I need one day to prepare everything before I can go with you. I don’t want anything to happen to my Green Wood Pavilion while I’m gone." Liuli said as she grabbed Jiu Shen’s arm with a pitiful look.

Jiu Shen’s expression remained peacefully calm even after Liuli’s sudden intimate actions, but he still nodded his head at her. He didn’t mind waiting for another day as long as he could get the help of this 9th-rank Saint realm cultivator. "Mn. Tomorrow evening, we will leave immediately."

Liuli gratefully nodded her head before she released Jiu Shen’s arm with an embarrassed look. Usually, she would only act coy and shy in front of the nobles in order to fool them into spending more True Crystals, but this time, her reaction was natural and not faked.

"Thank you, Lord Jiu Shen." Liuli bowed deeply, revealing her jade-like cleavage that almost jumped out of her clothes because of its sheer size.

Jiu Shen took a glance at her and shook his head internally. ’This woman is indeed good at seduction, but if she wants to seduce me, then she needs to train for a few billions of years.’

Swoosh.

When Liuli lifted her head, Jiu Shen’s silhouette had already vanished inside the room, and only his lingering manly fragrance remained. Liuli closed her eyes as she inhaled Jiu Shen’s scent, and when she opened her eyes, she revealed a dreamy look. "I guess it wouldn’t be that bad following Lord Jiu Shen..."

* * *

It was already night time when Jiu Shen teleported back inside his room. He didn’t think that he would actually gain a strong subordinate here in Green Wood City. Just that, Liuli’s origin was still unknown, so the moment he comes back to Beltran City, he will ask Ren Shuang to investigate her identity before he could place his trust in her.

When Jiu Shen arrived inside the room, he felt a bit stunned because he saw that Xia Xinyue was lying naked on the middle of the king-sized bed, and she was only covering her most intimate parts with a white quilt. Looking at her shy and blushing expression, Jiu Shen already had a rough idea of what she was planning to do, but he feigned ignorance and asked her with a calm expression. "Elder Xia, what’s the meaning of this?"

Xia Xinyue felt the coldness in Jiu Shen’s tone, but since she had already decided about this some time ago, she didn’t want to back out midway, so while biting her lower lip, she said with a shy look. "Lord Sect Master, please allow me to warm your bed."

Jiu Shen’s eyes twitched when he heard her enchanting voice, but his facial expression was still calm and indifferent. He could sense that Xia Xinyue was a bit reluctant to do this, but then what was pushing her to this thing? Furthermore, after interacting with her for quite some time, he knew that Xia Xinyue wasn’t the kind of woman who treated her body casually. Besides, he could even sense that she was still a virgin, so why was she suddenly doing this?

Jiu Shen furrowed his eyebrows as he pondered. ’This girl, does she want to gain more power by becoming my woman? No, she doesn’t seem to be like that...’

After seeing that Jiu Shen was still standing unmoved, Xia Xinyue gritted her teeth and she slowly removed the quilt that covered her youthful body, making Jiu Shen see every inch of her curvy figure. Her towering bosom, her pink cherries, and that maiden crevice that was sparsely covered with thin curly hair were all laid bare before his eyes

It would be a lie if Jiu Shen said that he wasn’t tempted, but with his third level of heart realm, he managed to force down the rising evilness within his heart. After all, it has been long since he had touched a woman, and what kind of man would remain unmoved after seeing a young and beautiful lady lying naked in front of him?

Jiu Shen wasn’t completely an unromantic person. In fact, he had a few wives that lived together with him during his earlier years.

Jiu Shen’s tranquil eyes suddenly fluctuated as he recalled his women who had long since died after the perpetual passing of time. He couldn’t even do anything to keep them alive, and he could only watch as they slowly died of old age. Jiu Shen’s lips trembled as he closed his eyes to remember their wrinkled faces when they were at death’s door. Jiu Shen saw their endless love and affection for him from their cloudy eyes; and their dying smiles before they parted with him forever...

Jiu Shen didn’t want to experience that kind of pain again. It was a heart-wrenching experience to carry the memories they left behind, and starting then, he no longer accepted the affections of countless immortal goddesses.

The moment Jiu Shen opened his eyelids, he immediately walked towards Xia Xinyue while putting up a warm smile. Although he didn’t know why she was doing this, he didn’t blame her.

Xia Xinyue’s breathing became hurried when she saw Jiu Shen walking towards her, but when she saw his gentle smile, the restlessness in her heart slowly evaporated. His smile was filled with warmth and tenderness, but Xia Xinyue could see that his eyes were blank as if he was thinking about something. Looking at his bleak and forlorn eyes, Xia Xinyue felt as if her heart was being crushed for some reason.

Jiu Shen’s golden eyes became blurred as the memories during his youth surged within his mind like a recorder playing backward. It happened in an instant, but to Jiu Shen, it felt as if several years had passed by. Now, when he looked at Xia Xinyue’s naked body, his golden eyes revealed a hint of tenderness.

He softly caressed her silky smooth cheeks with his hand while looking at her eyes with warmness.

Xia Xinyue felt her heart melting when she saw his gentle expression. Was this still the cold and aloof Jiu Shen that she knew? He looks like a different person when he smiles. She thought as she stared at Jiu Shen’s face, and she could already feel that her maiden heart was slowly softening.

Jiu Shen glanced at her naked body and sighed with emotions. He then slowly climbed on top of the bed and lied closely to Xia Xinyue.

He could already feel her warm and ragged breath blowing to his neck. He could also see her slightly quivering body that was starting to become restless after he suddenly lied beside her.

Seeing this, Jiu Shen gently rubbed her back to pacify her uneasiness as he stared at her pair of onyx eyes that were looking at him with mixed emotions.

’Her eyes are still so innocent and pure... She could already be considered as a mature woman in terms of age here in Nuar, but she seems to be inexperienced with the matters between men and women... What a cute young lady...’ Jiu Shen expressed his heartfelt opinion when he saw her dazed eyes.

Xia Xinyue was both nervous and excited when Jiu Shen lied beside her, but she could not help but look away when she saw his handsome face. ’Do I really deserve to be intimate with him?’ She thought as her self-esteem slowly crumbled when she faced Jiu Shen up close, but when she felt that gentle hand stroking her back as if it was caressing a precious jade, her tensed heart suddenly calmed down and she closed her eyes to enjoy this feeling.

Her lips parted and formed a joyful smile.

"Xinyue, what made you do this? I know you have a reason for doing this." Jiu Shen’s gently said as he lightly caressed her back. There was not even a trace of lust in his golden eyes.

Xia Xinyue felt ashamed for doubting Jiu Shen’s sexuality, and she finally realized that she had only misunderstood him. "L-Lord Sect Master, I-I... I saw that your eyes never revealed even a trace of desire when we were welcomed by those little seductresses at the entrance earlier, so...so I thought that you might not be interested in women which made me a bit worried..." Her voice was so small that anyone would find it hard to hear, but after his recent increase in strength, Jiu Shen heard her words loud and clear.

Pfft.

He couldn’t help but chuckle when he heard her response. To think that someone actually doubted his...

Hahaha!

Jiu Shen who had never laughed for millions of years suddenly erupted into peals of laughter, making Xia Xinyue reveal a surprised expression.

So Lord Sect Master can also laugh like this? Xia Xinyue thought as she stared at Jiu Shen’s face with an infatuated smile.

Her maiden heart that was aloof and detached for several decades suddenly thawed at that moment.

Looking at this man who was beyond handsome, Xia Xinyue unconsciously touched his face with her hand.

Not long later, she felt a strong pair of arms embracing her delicate body. She then rested her head on his sturdy chest and let out a contented smile as she slowly drifted into her dreamland.

When Jiu Shen heard her calm breathing, he smiled and held her closer to his body. He suddenly recalled her bold words earlier.

"Lord Sect Master, please allow me to warm your bed."

"Silly girl... This warmness is already enough." He muttered as he closed his eyes with a gentle smile.
