Chapter 64 : Another Type of Cultivation 13 (1/2)

Hearing Shi Sheng say she liked it, Feng Ci immediately put out the flames. “These are Glimmering Sunrise Flowers. They’re very hard to find.”

‘Glimmering Sunrise Flowers… Haven’t heard of them. Though, if even Feng Ci says they’re hard to find, then they are definitely really rare. But they just look good… So what’s the point?’

Glimmering Sunrise Flowers weren’t useless. It was just useless to Shi Sheng. To those who hadn’t built their foundations yet, if they attempted to do so here, the chances of building their foundation would increase to 100%! So, you can see why the Mt. Tong Sect would make this a forbidden grounds.

Finished enjoying the flowers, the two started to return. Under the silvery white moonlight, their shadows overlapped every once in awhile, causing Shi Sheng to go in a bit of a daze. In her memories, there never seemed to have been anyone who had accompanied her like this before.

Shi Sheng’s expression went cold for a second before it regained its usual calm and indifferent manner. Her gaze lingered on the silhouette of the person in front of her before shifting into the distance. The darkness concealed the emotions in the depths of her eyes.

When they were about to go up another slope, Shi Sheng suddenly pulled Feng Ci with her and ducked into the undergrowth behind them. Just as the two squatted down, a dark shadow flew past not far from them. Because the moonlight tonight was especially bright, Shi Sheng easily made out who it was.

‘Ye Qingqiu! What is she doing out so late? Is she out for a date too? Eh? Why did I use “too”? Never mind! Let’s go and see what she’s up to! Oh, and cause some trouble for her if we can!’

Ye Qingqiu’s alertness was rather high so Shi Sheng didn’t dare follow too closely. Feng Ci was confused for a bit before he understood what Shi Sheng wanted to do. He set down an enchantment on their bodies before pulling her along and following without attempting to conceal his presence.

‘Oh right! How could I forget about villain-sama?’

Shi Sheng had a lot of faith in Feng Ci’s enchantments because he had used one when they went to get the Reaper’s Sword. It was the reason she managed to sneak the sword away under the watchful eyes of so many people.

Ye Qingqiu seemed to be heading towards the forbidden groundsthey had just left. It didn’t seem like the first time she had gone there for she appeared rather familiar with the way.

Shi Sheng followed her to a cave.

“Please let me go… I’m begging you, please let me go…” Pleas for mercy could be heard from inside the cave.

Shi Sheng lifted a brow in surprise and made her way to the cave entrance to peek inside. There was enough light inside for her to make out that the cave wasn’t that big and that a young woman had been bound and tossed onto the cave floor. At the moment, she was twisting her body in a strange pleading posture. Ye Qingqiu stood to the side, staring coldly at the girl.

“Blame it on being chosen by him.” There was a hint of disgust in Ye Qingqiu’s voice. “Hurry up.”

The latter sentence clearly wasn’t said to the young woman. There were no other sounds aside from the young lady’s terrified pleas for mercy, and there were no other people. However, the young lady seemed to be undergoing a change as her voice got weaker and weaker. She started panting and her face turned red, as if…

Suddenly, darkness enveloped her vision. Her eyes had been covered up by a pair of cool hands. A voice containing a trace of killing intent {not at Shi Sheng} spoke, “Dirty.”

Shi Sheng “…” ‘Dirty my foot!’

Shi Sheng took a deep breath and resisted lashing out against Feng Ci. She reached out to pull his hand away but he didn’t want to let go since he didn’t want her to see such a filthy scene.

He didn’t dare to use too much strength yet at the same time was adamant on not letting Shi Sheng see that scene. Just as Shi Sheng was about to remove his hand, he held down her shoulder and hugged her towards him, pressing her face against his chest.

Feng Ci didn’t usually touch Shi Sheng all that much. The only times he did so was when he was feeling insecure and clutched onto her hand or hugged her waist like before. However, this was the first time they had hugged so intimately.
