173: Chapter 173 Su Muyan Takes the Initiative

Su Muyan slowly awoke. The first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was that she was being held in a man's arms. Her sweat had soaked through her clothes, and she could clearly feel the sensation of her skin touching his.

Su Muyan was stunned for a moment before her mind finally recalled what had happened over the past few days. No wonder he had suddenly appeared to help her overcome her Heart Demon.

Looking at Qin Yun, Su Muyan felt a complex mix of emotions. In the past, if a man so much as got within three steps of her, let alone tried to hold her, she would have sent him flying.

But Qin Yun was different. Seeing his face, her mind flashed back to the scene of him protecting her at all costs while she was tormented by the Heart Demon.

At this thought, Su Muyan immediately struggled free from his embrace, gently laid him on the bed, and then subconsciously reached for her phone.

It was fine not to look, but once she did, she was instantly stunned!

"Seven days... I've been out for a full seven days!"

Just then, she suddenly sensed that her body felt much lighter, her senses seemed sharper, and her skin felt sticky, covered in sweat mixed with black Impurities.

"I... I succeeded in my Breakthrough!"

Su Muyan looked at Qin Yun, who was sound asleep on the bed, with a complicated expression, then headed to the bathroom to wash off all the filth from her body.

After bathing, she put on a bathrobe and slowly walked out of the room, only to see Meng Ruxin curled up asleep by the door, along with Shen Yingxue, Qin Yushang, and Leng Youxue.

Hearing the door open, the girls immediately woke up. "Senior Sister, you're finally awake! You and my brother have been in there for seven days. We were so worried!"

Qin Yushang's words made Su Muyan smile softly. "I'm fine now. With Mr. Qin's help, I'm out of danger and my Breakthrough was successful."

"What! You... you've reached Huajin? No way! Why couldn't you wait for me? I finally caught up to you, and you Breakthrough again in less than a week? That's so unfair!"

The little loli, Meng Ruxin, clutched her chest dramatically, pretending to cry. Su Muyan said, "I'm sorry for making you wait so long because of me. Once Mr. Qin has rested, we can head back."

"Ah, no rush, Senior Sister. You and my brother haven't been anywhere these past few days. Don't you want to go out and explore a bit?"

"I... don't really have anywhere I want to go. Besides, Breaking through was exhausting. I never thought I'd one day reach Master's level. It's just..."

As she spoke, scenes of Qin Yun repeatedly shielding her from the Heart Demon flashed through Su Muyan's mind, stirring up indescribable feelings within her.

"Since Senior Sister doesn't have anywhere she wants to go, why don't we let Mr. Qin decide after he wakes up?"

After all, Qin Yun had never really had a proper chance to relax. First, he went straight to deal with the Tang Family Old Ancestor, and right after returning, he ran into Su Muyan's Qi Deviation during her Cultivation. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was the busiest one of them all.

While they were discussing, the bedroom door opened again. Qin Yun walked out, looking somewhat weary. If one didn't know he had been helping Su Muyan overcome her Qi Deviation, they might have thought the two had some other kind of relationship!

Seeing Qin Yun emerge, Su Muyan's breath hitched for a second. The panic on her face instantly faded, and she spoke softly.

"Mr. Qin, thank you this time. I owe you a favor."

Qin Yun waved his hand. "Ultimately, it was the phoenix essence blood I gave you that caused the trouble."

"No, it was my own immaturity. It was just a trial from the Breakthrough, and I couldn't hold on. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have already..."

Su Muyan's words made Qin Yun raise an eyebrow. After this incident, her attitude toward him had clearly changed from before.

At least there wasn't that sense of distant unfamiliarity anymore. However, Qin Yushang immediately chimed in, "Brother, we've been here for a whole week. Shouldn't we go back? Or do you want to stay and play for a few more days?"

Qin Yun smiled. "My original goal was to deal with the Tang Family issue. By the way, Zhusha, is my assassination list still active?"

Zhusha shook her head. "Boss, the bounty disappeared the day after you defeated that old Tang guy. It seems that old man from the Tang Family did a good job. At the very least, he knows not to cross you."

Qin Yun chuckled. "Then let's all spend one last night here! We'll head back tomorrow!"

"Alright!"

Su Muyan looked at Qin Yun and quietly made a decision in her heart.

That night, as it was their last day in Sichuan, all the women changed into swimsuits and played in the indoor pool. Jiang Shiyu, in particular, clung directly onto Qin Yun.

It had to be said, she was the best at acting cute among Qin Yun's women. Calling him 'Brother Yun' this and 'Brother Yun' that, no one could resist her.

"Brother Yun, these past few days you've been helping Miss Su with her Cultivation, I've fallen behind in my own practice!"

Su Muyan had taught her the most basic physical exercises, which she practiced daily. Although she could clearly feel her Physique had improved significantly, reaching the entry level still seemed like a distant goal.

"It's fine. Cultivation isn't something achieved overnight. With the medicine I refine for you, even though you started late, you can still see results."

"Mhm, I'll be waiting! Brother Yun is the best."

With that, she gently pecked Qin Yun on the cheek, then dove into the water like a mermaid. Looking at the adorable Jiang Shiyu, Qin Yun couldn't help but sigh.

A life of luxury and indulgence was truly like this!

...

Although everyone enjoyed the final night of revelry, they had to catch a flight early the next morning, so everyone went to bed early.

Moreover, the women all claimed that Qin Yun was too vigorous at night and would surely make them miss the flight tomorrow. Helpless, Qin Yun could only stay alone in his room.

Just then, there was a sudden knock at the door. Qin Yun was surprised. Getting out of bed to open it, he found Su Muyan standing at his doorway.

Qin Yun was taken aback. "Miss Su, you are...?"

"May I come in?"

"Oh, oh, please come in."

After Su Muyan entered, Qin Yun asked, "Miss Su, what brings you to my room in the middle of the night?"

Su Muyan looked at Qin Yun's face and couldn't help but smile. Her smile was beautiful. Despite her usual short hair, Qin Yun still found Su Muyan very attractive.

"You're not here because you just Broke through and want to spar with me, are you?"

Su Muyan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh softly. "What do you think a woman coming to find you late at night would be for?"

Qin Yun's eyes widened. "You... you don't like men, do you?"

Su Muyan simply stood up, wrapped her arms around Qin Yun's waist, and pushed him down onto the bed. Qin Yun didn't resist, just stared at her dumbfounded.

Su Muyan gently untied her robe. The nightgown slipped off, revealing her healthy and toned skin.

"Because I don't take care of my skin, my body isn't as soft and delicate as other women's. But I can assure you, this is my first time. You won't be at a disadvantage."

"W-wait, hold on. That's not right, is it? Don't you feel nauseated, physically repulsed, when you touch men?"

Su Muyan tilted her head. "That is indeed the case, but... you're an exception."

As she spoke, she gently untied Qin Yun's pajamas. She leaned down, pressing against his chest and listening to his heartbeat, then smiled.

"My aversion to other men remains unchanged, but... I don't dislike you. In fact, I even feel some fondness. If I had to choose a man in this world to marry, I would choose you. Moreover, you helped me Breakthrough and saved my life. I don't have much to repay you with. Money means nothing to you. So, the only thing I can offer you is my untouched body."

What was there to hold back after hearing that? Having said all that, if Qin Yun didn't take the initiative now, he'd be too embarrassed to call himself a man.

Then, he suddenly pulled Su Muyan into his arms. Looking at her body, Su Muyan said, "It's rather awkward, right? You're probably not interested in a body full of muscles like this."

If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice. Su Muyan actually had abs. A girl with abs is incredibly cool, isn't she?

"No, you're beautiful. I sincerely think so."

After saying this, Qin Yun directly kissed Su Muyan's fragrant lips. Su Muyan's breath caught, then she responded to Qin Yun with her inexperienced kissing technique.

This was her first time being intimate with a man, and she felt no physical discomfort at all. This feeling was quite wondrous.

Qin Yun said softly, "Mu Yan."

"Hmm?"

"You're truly beautiful. Not just beautiful, but also very handsome. That's not a lie."

Su Muyan chuckled softly but didn't speak, just held his body tightly.

The two felt each other's heartbeats, exchanged each other's warmth, and left a perfect ending to their final night in Sichuan.
