Shen Ying couldn't move, being pressed down by him. Beside her ears was only his heavy breathing. After a long time she finally remembered a problem. She asked subconsciously, “You are… not willing?” That would be hard!

The hand that clutched her tightened slightly in an instant, and a chuckle sounded beside her ears. She faintly felt that his breathing became a little quicker. His tone was low, as though suppressing something. “Whatever that Master does, I… am always willing.” He would even ask for it.

“Then why did you…” She stunned, her hand tried to move, but it was pressed down tightly once again.

“Don't move.” There was suddenly some eagerness in his voice. His whole body was so hot that it was scary. Though there were layers of clothing in between, Shen Ying felt that all the places pressed by him turning a bit hot. Soon he spoke with a pleading tone, “Master, let's just stay like this… for a while. Is that okay?”

Somehow a softness filled Shen Ying's heart, and obediently, she no longer moved. She didn't know how long it took, before the quick breathing beside her ears started to slow down, and his low voice sounded once more, with a bit of grievance, “Does Master… like me?”

Huh?

Shen Ying was stunned. But before she could react, he spoke first, “I like Master, I have always… always liked Master. In the past Master used to say that you only liked me a little, but you don't remember. And right now this… does it mean that it became a bit more?”

Shen Ying who surprisingly received a confession stiffened, and her face which was originally red turned even redder. Her heartbeat sped up audibly.

Her heart was filled with anxiousness. What was he to do? Receiving a confession for the first time, she didn't know how to answer!

After being stunned for a long time, she could finally squeeze out some voice. “My… my sister said that us women have to own up to what we do! It's the same for feelings. Besides, n.o.body in this world can force me, uh… except my sister. Since I already admitted to you being my boyfriend, of course I genuinely like you. Rest a.s.sured, I will be responsible for you.”

The person in front of her stiffened, and in the next instant, his whole body trembled slightly. As though he just heard some great good news, joy showed all over his body, despite his face not being visible. Yi Qing didn't reply, but only called out to the person in his arms, with a thick undertone, “Master… Master… Master…”

Each call was heavier than the previous. As though it hit right at the heart, even her heart started trembling with it.

Shen Ying suddenly felt even hungrier. She replied subconsciously, “Can we continue?” Hmm, it was a bit heavy. She prefers to be on top.

The person in front of her was stunned. After a long while he finally moved. In the next instant, something pressed briefly on her forehead.

“Not now.”

“Huh?” Shen Ying was stunned. Even her pants were off but he wouldn't do it?!

Only then did Yi Qing sit up and look down at the person under him. In his eyes was some moisture which had yet to fade. Faintly, it seemed to conceal something.

“Right now, Master is… still young.” His look darkened, as he looked right at her eyes, as though she was all that was left in his heart and his eyes. “I'm so happy that you finally responded to me, yet I… I can't take advantage of someone vulnerable like this.” Just as Father Niu said, she was only fifteen. Perhaps not even herself knew if this feeling was real. He couldn't be so mean. There'll finally be a day when she recovers. If then… Master still admits it, he will never let go again!

“I will wait… till the day you recover.”

Huh?

Shen Ying was confused, as her head was written full of question marks. Didn't Big Sister say that once men are in bed they become beasts who can't stop themselves? So

Could it be that…

Her heart sank, and her look went downwards subconsciously. Could it be that when they met the parents, Big Sister really broke a leg of him, just not that kind of leg!

(⊙_⊙)

That was why he wasn't willing?

So… so pitiful!

Immediately she had an urge to unzip a certain person's pants to check.

Yi Qing had absolutely no idea that someone's thought had already gone as far as another plane. He struggled to suppress the feelings inside him. Just as he was about to stand up, a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside the ears of the two.

“Hey! Umm… Shen Ying, Chef, you two come over to side palace later when you're free.” Lonemoon couldn't find Chef at the side palace, and to avoid seeing some blinding scene, he chose voice transmission without hesitating. “That bit of divine perception that we sent to little mushroom world days ago has returned.”

“…”

Lonemoon waited for a full twenty minutes in the room before Chef and Shen Ying entered.

“Why so slow?” He looked up at them. From back palace to side palace, one only needed to make a turn. “Two of you… Hmm? Chef, what's up with your clothes?” He glanced at Chef up and down. The person who always used to dress neatly and tidily had, at that moment, not only a tilted collar, but even a tear on the side of his body. Yet he looked as though he didn't notice it at all.

Yi Qing's body stiffened. Subconsciously he was about to look at the person beside him, but suppressed that urge, and replied hurriedly, “Nothing, just tore it when practicing sword techniques.”

“Practicing swords in the middle of the night?” Lonemoon frowned.

Yi Qing stiffened even more, and he had to nod hard and say, “Yeah.”

Shen Ying beside him actually sad down by the table silently. Her face as cold and indifferent as it always was, she pretended to not know anything about it.

Lonemoon didn't ask any further questions, but pointed to the chair beside him and said, “Alright, come in quickly. We've already gotten information about that mushroom.”

Only then did the two realize that there was another figure behind him, one that looked perfectly identical to Lonemoon, except his slightly sluggish look and unmoving manner. That was the exact avatar that he sent into the small world days ago.

Lonemoon waved a hand to cast a spell on that avatar. Instantly, a string of white gas flew out of his body and into Lonemoon's palm. And that person who looked exactly like Father Niu flashed and turned back to an octagonal bronze mirror.

Lonemoon's hand waved again, and white lights shone from the bronze mirror. Immediately, scenes of the lower realm appeared in front of the three like images from a projector.

“I used divine perception to control this avatar, who flew all over that small world.” explained Lonemoon. “What shows in this mirror is all that it saw in the lower realm.”

Lonemoon went forward and looked carefully at the scenes in the mirror. There were Mortal Realms with thin Spirit Qi, and there are also spirit mountains in which cultivators gathered. There were even scenes of cultivators in the lower realm battling each other. It was a thorough investigation indeed.

“Seeing only the scenes themselves, there isn't anything wrong.” Yi Qing frowned, turned back and looked at Lonemoon.

“When I first watched it, I didn't find any problems with it at all.” nodded Lonemoon. “But after finis.h.i.+ng, I felt that something was missing.”

“What was…” Yi Qing was stunned. Just as he was about to ask, Shen Ying at the side spoke first.

“The River of Forgetfulness is missing!”
