815: Brother Yao... then... then tonight...

Ruyi's pretty face visibly changed color, shifting from pale white to pink, then rapidly deepening to crimson, until it was as red as a ripe peach. Even her crystal earlobes and slender neck were tinged with an alluring blush! Her delicate body trembled slightly, and the palm of her hand gripping Yao Delong's instantly became scalding and moist.

Under the smiling gaze of her parents, immense shyness and a desperate, make-or-break courage intertwined in her heart! She gritted her teeth, turned the direction of the hand holding Yao Delong's, lowered her head, and quickly spoke in a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz, yet trembling with a sense of giving up everything:

"Yao... Big Brother Yao... Then... then tonight... just come to my room... and rest!"

After saying this, she felt her entire body was about to burst into flames! She dared not look up to see Yao Delong's reaction, much less her parents' expressions, wishing only to immediately find a hole to crawl into!

"Hahaha! Good! Good! That's more like it!" Far from being angry, Han Tianzheng was delighted upon seeing his daughter's appearance, laughing heartily. His laughter was full of gratification and the relief of knowing, "My daughter is finally grown up." He pulled up Madam Liu, who was smilingly watching their daughter nearby. "Madam Liu, let's not stand here any longer. Let's go, let's go, let's go back and rest! Hahaha!"

Amidst Han Tianzheng's hearty laughter, the pair walked away hand-in-hand, leaving behind a stunning girl who was so shy she was about to faint, and a handsome young man who watched the girl's embarrassment, a playful curve lifting the corner of his mouth.

The night itself seemed to become gentle and enchanting at this moment.

Ruyi felt her heart pounding like a drum, her blood seemingly rushing to her head, and her entire body felt light, as if she were stepping on clouds. She dared not look up at Yao Delong's teasing gaze. She could only keep her head down, tightly clutching his warm large hand, dragging this man—who seemed "dangerous yet charming" to her at this moment—away from the plaza with nearly the strength of a tug-of-war.

The bright moon hung high, scattering its clear radiance everywhere. The pristine moonlight, like smooth silk, draped over the two of them, stretching their figures, leaning close together, into long shadows cast on the bluestone path, moving slowly, like a silent scroll painting. In the tranquil inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, only the sound of their light footsteps and the girl's uncontrollable rapid breathing remained.

The short distance felt as long as an epoch to Ruyi. Finally, she stopped, pulling Yao Delong in front of an elegant small building surrounded by Spiritual Plants and set in a tranquil environment. Pushing open the wooden door, which carried the unique fragrance of a maiden's room, a refined and faint scent of faint orchid rushed out, instantly enveloping the pair. This was Ruyi's scent: clean, pure, and carrying the fragrance of a young girl.

The furnishings inside were elegant, with pink and white gauze curtains hanging down. Several volumes of Daoist Scriptures lay on the jade table, and a few Spiritual Flowers still bearing dew were placed in a small vase on the dressing table. Everything exuded the delicacy and warmth of a young girl's boudoir.

"Yao... Big Brother Yao..." Ruyi felt her throat dry, her voice faint as a mosquito's buzz, filled with endless shyness. Her back was turned to Yao Delong, daring not to look back. "We... we're here. You... you should rest early." Having said that, she tried to escape by rushing to make the bed.

"Oh?" Yao Delong's deep, magnetic laughter echoed in the silent room, carrying a hint of lazy mockery. His footsteps slid, and he appeared behind Ruyi as if Instant Shifting. His strong, powerful arms instantly encircled her impossibly slender waist, pulling her entire body into his embrace, tightly pressed against his solid chest.

Warm fragrance and soft jade filled his arms; the girl's exquisite curves were clearly discernible. Yao Delong lowered his head slightly, his scorching breath spraying onto her sensitive ear and neck, causing the delicate body in his arms to tremble lightly.

"Could it be... just resting?" He deliberately drew out the final syllable, his voice filled with deep amusement and undeniable aggression.

"Boom!"

These words were like lighting a barrel of dynamite! Ruyi felt all the blood in her body rush to her cheeks, making them astonishingly hot! She let out a soft moan, her entire body softening as she leaned into his embrace, like a startled little rabbit. Her eyes were tightly shut, her long eyelashes trembling violently, and even her small, crystalline earlobes were as red as agate.

"Mmm... Big Brother Yao, you... you want to..." She was incoherent, so shy she was practically melting.

However, before she could finish speaking.

A pair of large hands, carrying astonishing heat and irresistible force, had already domineeringly slipped into her high-quality, silky-smooth, pale-moon Daoist Robe! The slightly cool fingertips instantly touched the delicate, warm skin of her waist!

"Ah—!"

Ruyi cried out as if electrified. Her delicate body suddenly tensed up before instantly going limp. The scorching blush spread from her cheeks to her entire body, as if every inch of her skin was stained with an alluring crimson! She twisted her body in embarrassed indignation, her voice a petulant, tearful whine: "Big Brother Yao! You... you're too wicked!"

Yao Delong felt the astonishing elasticity and burning warmth of the beauty in his arms, and hearing her coy cries of resistance, the last bit of restraint in his heart vanished instantly! He laughed loudly, his laughter full of triumphant satisfaction and the desire for male conquest: "Hahaha! Wicked? Then let's be wicked all the way!"

Before his voice faded, he exerted force in his arms and lifted the light, soft body in his embrace straight up! Ruyi cried out in surprise, instinctively wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. Yao Delong strode to the jade bed covered with soft brocade, and with movements that were gentle yet undeniably dominant, he placed her in the center of the couch.

The jade bed was slightly cool, which only highlighted the scorching heat of her body.

Yao Delong leaned down, his nose almost touching her smooth forehead. His warm lips lightly brushed her burning earlobe, his voice low and husky, carrying a fatal temptation and a hint of hypocritical "seriousness":

"Come, Ruyi, be good..."

"Let your husband properly 'test' how stable your Cultivation has become after this Breakthrough."

"your husband... personally helping you 'stabilize' your Cultivation will yield better results..."

The deliberately emphasized word "stabilize" was like a feather carrying an electric current, instantly shattering all of Ruyi's defenses! As a girl experiencing romance for the first time, how could she withstand the dual provocation of words and actions from such a seasoned veteran of the heart?

Her delicate body was already soft and limp, her starry eyes tightly shut, her long eyelashes trembling violently like butterfly wings in the wind. Her red lips were slightly parted, emitting faint, rapid gasps. Her mind was blank, leaving only the intense, consuming shyness and... a trace of hidden desire.

Yao Delong looked at the breathtakingly beautiful, fragrant, jade body beneath him, ready for the taking, the flames igniting in his eyes almost turning substantial!

Without further hesitation, his large hand reached out, precisely pinching the collar of the Daoist Robe. His wrist gave an imperceptible shake, and with a skillful pull, he tugged!

"Sssshhh—"

A slight sound of fabric rubbing together rang out.
