Chapter 153: You Will Definitely Regret This
Shi Zi Chu’s cool body temperature, like a stream flowing through a mountain gorge, offered a fleeting moment of relief to Ye He Qi, who was burning with the heat of passion, as if his very flesh was being scorched by fire.
He let out a hoarse sigh, unable to suppress his feelings.
It felt so good.
At that moment, the coolness of Shi Zi Chu’s touch was like a refreshing drink of water to Ye He Qi, who was on the verge of losing his mind. Driven by instinct, he leaned closer, desperate to draw in more of that cooling sensation to alleviate the burning inside him.
Noticing Ye He Qi’s dazed eyes and his approach, Shi Zi Chu smiled softly, her expression laced with an apology.
In the next instant, their robes and sleeves fluttered around them, as delicate as petals drifting in the wind.
Though Ye He Qi’s instincts screamed to defend himself, the love gu’s torment had already reduced him to a mere shell of his former self. His mind was clouded, and he had forgotten how to use his spiritual power in defense.
With just his martial skills, he was no match for Shi Zi Chu.
In the blink of an eye, Ye He Qi found himself on the ground, taken down effortlessly by Shi Zi Chu.
“Mm…” The pain from the impact of his back against the ground brought a slight clarity back to Ye He Qi’s mind. His body felt heavy, and with hazy, shimmering peach blossom eyes, he looked up.
Shi Zi Chu was sitting on top of him, her hands pinning his to his chest.
What a humiliating position this was.
Shi Zi Chu showed no sign of shame as she sat gracefully on him, her calm and composed demeanor easing the tension between them.
Noticing that his eyes had regained some clarity, Shi Zi Chu spoke, her voice soft but tinged with frustration, “Clan Chief Ye, you are really difficult to handle.”
Ye He Qi turned his head away, his voice low and hoarse as he spoke, “Get off me.”
He didn’t want to end up as a target for Venerable Xing Lan’s assassination!
Shi Zi Chu, however, couldn’t comply. Not yet.
Because the love gu still worked its insidious magic inside Ye He Qi, and he would lose control again soon.
“The golden hook phoenix butterfly is still extracting the gu from Clan Chief Ye,” Shi Zi Chu’s calm voice echoed as she explained.
Before Ye He Qi could respond, waves of uncontrollable passion once again overwhelmed him. His hazy peach blossom eyes lost their clarity, and the burning sensation in him only intensified.
Unable to retain his composure, Ye He Qi’s voice came out in hoarse, sensual gasps, his neck veins bulging, and his eyes unfocused. The edges of his eyes glistened with dew.
Shi Zi Chu, unable to ignore the allure of such a stunningly beautiful man, couldn’t help but steal another glance at him.
Ye He Qi, still with his hands bound by Shi Zi Chu, felt the coolness of her body against his, and it wasn’t enough. He needed more to cool his searing heat.
He struggled against the restraints, his uncontrolled spiritual power forming ropes that bound them together.
?
Before Shi Zi Chu could react, Ye He Qi, still lying on the ground, sat up. His arms tightened around her delicate waist.
The heat radiating from him enveloped Shi Zi Chu like a net, and she felt as though she were thrown into an inferno.
Ye He Qi held her too tightly, as though trying to meld their bodies into one.
As if still unsatisfied, he pressed his burning cheek against Shi Zi Chu’s neck.
“Hiss.”
Shi Zi Chu gasped, tilting her head to the side to avoid his scalding skin.
It felt like he was going to burn her alive!
In the next instant, Ye He Qi’s hand locked onto the back of her head, forcing her neck down so he could press his face against hers.
The sweet fragrance of jasmine filled his senses, and the scent seemed to weave itself into a net, pulling him deeper, drawing him into its grasp as though he were willing to be trapped forever.
Perhaps it was the allure of Shi Zi Chu’s fragrance that distracted Ye He Qi from the golden hook phoenix butterfly.
Shi Zi Chu, finding herself bound, subtly tried to control the water spiritual power, using it to free herself from the ropes.
After finally undoing the water-spiritual ropes, she managed to pull one hand free, but just as she raised it, Ye He Qi grabbed her wrist again.
His reflexes were far too quick, as though he had been prepared for this.
Noticing that Shi Zi Chu had become a bit too restless, Ye He Qi decided to release some of his suppressive aura, pressing her down.
Under the weight of his suppressive aura, Shi Zi Chu found herself unable to move. Unable to hold back any longer, she cursed under her breath, “You’re the one who’s ungrateful!”
As she struggled, she twisted her wrist, only to be firmly seized by him.
Ye He Qi pressed his face against the soft flesh inside her wrist, his burning lips brushing against the tender skin.
Taken completely by surprise by the intimate gesture, Shi Zi Chu laughed, her voice light and teasing. “You will definitely regret this.”
Not fully in control of himself, Ye He Qi, still dazed, asked, “Regret what?”
Before Shi Zi Chu could respond, he followed his instincts and bit down on the tender flesh of her wrist.
“Let go!”
Shi Zi Chu slapped him across the face, her hand still free.
Angry at the slap, Ye He Qi, in his haze, wanted to flip her over and pin her beneath him, but some strange instinct stopped him.
He couldn’t flip Shi Zi Chu over. Instead, he settled for keeping her wrist in his mouth, repeatedly grinding his teeth into the soft flesh as a form of revenge.
…
Ye Qing Zi had followed Ye He Qi but was unfamiliar with Rising Succession Peak.
Thanks to Ye He Qi’s deliberate detour, she lost track of him.
However, holding another love gu in her possession, she quickly found her way to Vigilance Peak.
Glaring at the red-stamped characters on the stone, Ye Qing Zi’s eyes darkened.
She had heard that the personal disciples of Rising Succession Peak all resided here!
Shi Zi Chu!
The name flashed in her mind as she slowly reached out her hand, activating the hidden restriction that immediately appeared to warn her not to cross the line.
Staring at the unbreakable barrier, Ye Qing Zi’s beautiful face twisted with jealousy.
The clan chief had abandoned her to find Shi Zi Chu?!
Hmph!
In that case, she would play the good samaritan to the end!
Ye Qing Zi made her decision and left.
Meanwhile, Chu Zhi Rou, carrying an invisible magic artifact, stepped out from behind a tree. Watching Ye Qing Zi’s retreating figure, her eyes flickered with uncertainty.
Finally, she seemed to make up her mind.
At the main peak’s front mountain, Chu Zhi Rou was more familiar with Rising Succession Peak than Ye Qing Zi, so she arrived first.
“Junior Sect Master!” Chu Zhi Rou rushed toward her, her urgency attracting the attention of several people.
She raised her hand and performed a bow. “I have urgent matters to discuss with the Junior Sect Master in private.”
Worried that Meng Xi Yu might refuse, Chu Zhi Rou silently spoke Shi Zi Chu’s name.
Meng Xi Yu turned around. “Follow me.”
In a quiet corner, Chu Zhi Rou spoke urgently, “Ye Qing Zi has plotted against Big Brother and Second Senior Sister. Right now, both Second Senior Sister and Big Brother are at Vigilance Peak!”
Meng Xi Yu fixed a scrutinizing gaze on Chu Zhi Rou.
Was Shi Zi Chu really that easy to fall for a trap?
Chu Zhi Rou gritted her teeth, her voice soft and reluctant. “Ye Qing Zi has used the love gu.”
?
Meng Xi Yu immediately turned and walked away.
Chu Zhi Rou watched his back, her gaze darkening.
This time, she was truly trying to help Shi Zi Chu!
Meng Xi Yu quickly located Jiang Wan Sheng.
Jiang Wan Sheng had intended to make a sharp remark, but upon hearing that Shi Zi Chu was in trouble, he hastily left.
Meanwhile, Ye Qing Zi had arrived, quickly gathering Ye Su Zhu to her side.
Trapped, Ye Su Zhu could only follow Ye Qing Zi and her group toward Vigilance Peak.
Pei Luo Xiu appeared suddenly, stepping forward to grab Ye Su Zhu’s hand, speaking in a familiar tone, “Junior Sister Su Zhu, you’ve been hard to find.”
Ye Su Zhu disliked physical contact and was about to pull her hand away when her arm froze.
Pei Luo Xiu quickly wrote Shi Zi Chu’s name on her palm.
“Big Sister Shi prepared a surprise for you.” Pei Luo Xiu winked playfully, then, as if just noticing the group led by Ye Qing Zi, asked, “Who are these?”
“They’re just curious about what Vigilance Peak is like,” Ye Su Zhu replied curtly.
Pei Luo Xiu nodded and smiled. “Today is Junior Sister Su Zhu’s apprentice ceremony. Her Senior Sister prepared a surprise for her. Surely, you won’t stop us?”
With Meng Xi Yu and the others handling things at Vigilance Peak, her role was to delay Ye Su Zhu as much as possible!
