Chapter 236 : Petty Ghosts are Hard to Deal With 18 (1/2)

Feng Jin tore the ward off his body, reaching out to hold her as he snapped, “Are you crazy?!”

‘She could’ve been destroyed!’

Shi Sheng felt the burning sensation vanish as soon as she was in Feng Jin’s arms. It was instead replaced by a comfortable, cooling sensation.

Shi Sheng leaned against his chest, her hand still wrapped around his wrist as she continuously poured spirit energy into his body. The sense of familiarity she felt excited her to the point she felt like jumping.

But she was too exhausted to move, and could only weakly lean against him.

Feng Jin frowned as that sense of familiarity grew stronger. He subconsciously held on to her tighter. Anger burned in his heart.

‘Does she know how dangerous that was?! Fuck!’

“Let go.” Feng Jin could still feel energy pouring into his body from his wrist, but it wasn’t as much as before.

Despite his words, Shi Sheng’s grasp tightened to the point where he felt like his wrist was going to break. He shifted his posture so that he was hugging her with one hand, freeing the other to pry hers off his wrist.

“What?” Shi Sheng spoke grumpily, her voice a bit worn out from exhausting herself.

Feng Jin, “…”

‘This woman is simply unreasonable! Does she want to break my hand? Letting her touch me was a grave mistake…’

But Feng Jin didn’t wrest his hand away. “Don’t grasp so tightly. It hurts…”

“You’re a grown man, what’re you being such a wuss for?” Shi Sheng still sounded grumpy, but she loosened her grip and stopped pouring spirit energy into his body. She rested for a moment.

When she felt some of her energy return, she grabbed his arm, used the leverage to twist around, and kissed him.

Feng Jin’s mind went blank for a moment. His ears buzzed noiselessly as he looked at the magnified face directly in front of him with widened eyes.

‘W-w-what is she doing?!’

The soft and cool sensation on his lips made his heart race, and that strange feeling of familiarity battered like ocean waves against his mind.

He couldn’t define what that feeling was…but he didn’t hate it—he even felt an urge to get closer.

Shi Sheng didn’t linger long—she didn’t dare to deepen the kiss since she might accidentally steal some of his yang qi.

She retreated a step and leaned against the bookcase beside her for support before speaking in a solemn tone, “Feng Jin, from now on, I’ll protect you. If anyone dares to touch you, I’ll send them to the afterlife!”

Feng Jin, “…” ‘I’m still a bit confused, please give me some time to process what just happened…

Was I just molested?’

Not only was he just molested, now he also had “protection”.

“I want to rest.” Shi Sheng neared Feng Jin once more, but stopped a step away from him. “Forget it, I’ll go rest on my own.”

‘He doesn’t have his memories right now. It’d be troublesome if I scared him off… I’ll just screw you some other time then.’

After Shi Sheng happily made this one-sided decision, she floated out of the study and back to her room to refill her spirit energy reserves. She’d used too much energy just now, so she was feeling a bit weak.

Feng Jin was left standing alone in the now much quieter study, his mind still stuck on what had just happened. Only after a long time did Feng Jin heavily exhale a breath of stale air. He cast a complicated glance in the direction of Shi Sheng’s bedroom.

……

The next day, Shi Sheng found Feng Jin sitting in his study drawing talismans. She immediately went over and made to rub his face.

Feng Jin’s hand shook, causing him to mess up his work. He removed the ward on his body before Shi Sheng’s hands could reach him. He glanced at his now useless talisman before turning his head to show her a helpless expression. “Can’t you give me some warning before you attempt to touch me?”

‘If I hadn’t removed the ward in time, she’d have been burnt again.’

Shi Sheng rolled her eyes at him while continuing to rub his face. “Why should I give notice when I’m rubbing my own man? Oh right… why doesn’t it hurt anymore?”

Feng Jin, “…”

‘“My own man?!”
