330: Chapter 330 In the Hot Spring

The auction was over.

Time to leave.

"Let's go," Lin Yun said. "The auction is over."

The others also prepared to get up.

But Su Yingxue pulled him back.

"Wait." Her eyes were fixed on the pink figure in the first row. "Wait until King Xuanyin stands up, and see if we can catch a glimpse of her tail."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

That's right.

A Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, nine tails.

The seats had blocked the view earlier.

If she stood up, they might be able to see.

They all sat back down, staring at King Xuanyin's back, waiting for her to rise.

King Xuanyin did not stand up.

She sat there, quietly waiting for the host's closing remarks.

Then...

She vanished.

Disappeared completely.

She logged out of the auction world.

Without standing, without turning, without any movement.

She simply vanished into thin air.

Their hopes were dashed.

"Ah..."

"Why did she leave?"

"We didn't get to see her tail."

Su Yingxue sighed.

Everyone was filled with regret.

Qianye and Lu Shan watched their disappointed expressions and couldn't help but laugh.

"You guys," Qianye shook her head. "Really..."

She didn't know what to say.

This family—obsessed with King Xuanyin, and now her tail.

And judging by how serious they looked, they genuinely wanted to see it, not just joking around.

Lu Shan also laughed. As she laughed, she suddenly realized something...

She felt like she was being assimilated. Just now... she had also wanted to see.

And now, she was leaning against Lin Yun, wearing a swimsuit, skin against skin, breaths mingling.

She glanced at Qianye.

Qianye was also leaning against Lin Yun, in a similar position.

They exchanged a look and saw the same emotion in each other's eyes...

It was over; they had completely blended in.

Shen Youqing noticed their exchanged glance and spoke with a smile in her eyes.

"Qianye, Shanshan."

"Hmm?" They both looked at her.

Shen Youqing teased, "The way you two lean against your husband so naturally, you're no different from us. Why not marry him tomorrow?"

The sudden teasing instantly made Qianye and Lu Shan's cheeks flush and their ears burn.

Everyone immediately joined in.

"Yeah, yeah, marry him tomorrow!"

"Shanshan, haven't you wanted to marry him for a while?"

"Qianye, stop holding out. Give in."

"The longer you delay, the harder it gets."

Words flew back and forth, teasing one after another.

Qianye and Lu Shan were so embarrassed they were at a loss.

They didn't know what to say or how to respond.

Refuse?

They didn't want to refuse.

Agree?

But they were too shy.

They fidgeted, heads down, not daring to look at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun watched them.

He reached out, gently lifted Qianye's chin, making her look at him.

Qianye's eyes were bright, filled with shyness, nervousness, and anticipation.

Lin Yun looked at her, his voice tender:

"Qianye, marry me."

Qianye's eyelashes fluttered. Her lips moved, but no words came out.

Lin Yun then looked at Lu Shan.

"Shanshan, marry me."

Lu Shan's face was as red as a ripe apple. Her lips parted, but she too couldn't speak.

Everyone fell silent, waiting for their answers.

Qianye nervously twisted her fingers in the water, and finally mustered the courage to whisper a single word:

"Mm."

Lu Shan followed softly:

"Mm."

Their voices were so faint they were almost inaudible.

But everyone present heard them.

The hot spring instantly erupted.

"They agreed!"

"Wonderful!"

"Welcome, Qianye! Welcome, Shanshan!"

Cheers, applause, and laughter mingled together.

Qiao Feifei jumped up in excitement, Bai Ling spun Hua Liuli around, and Su Yingxue laughed heartily.

Lin Yun lowered his head and kissed Qianye.

Qianye's body stiffened for a moment, then softened.

Her kiss was awkward and clumsy, completely unlike someone who had lived over a thousand years.

It was her first kiss.

Lin Yun kissed her gently, his tongue lightly tracing the shape of her lips.

Qianye closed her eyes, her lashes trembling.

Her heart pounded like a drum, her breath as chaotic as clouds scattered by the wind.

After a long moment, their lips parted.

Qianye gasped for air, her face red to the ears.

Lin Yun then kissed Lu Shan.

Lu Shan was even more nervous than Qianye, trembling all over.

Her lips were soft, with a slight coolness.

Lin Yun kissed her, one arm around her waist, the other gently stroking her back.

Lu Shan's breathing grew faster. She didn't know where to put her hands, finally grabbing Lin Yun's...

Their lips parted.

Lu Shan leaned against his chest, not daring to look up.

Bai Ling's mischievous voice rang out: "Since it's come to this, why not board the carriage first and buy the ticket later?"

Qianye and Lu Shan were both startled.

"No!"

They said in unison, their voices so loud they startled everyone.

Then, they broke free from Lin Yun's embrace and leaped out of the hot spring as if fleeing.

Their speed was like two bolts of lightning.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into even louder laughter.

Lin Yun pulled Bai Ling into his arms and gently pinched her cheek.

"You can't be so naughty."

Bai Ling acted coy, her voice soft and syrupy: "I know, Mas~ter~"

The way she said 'Master' was so sweet and cloying that Lin Yun's heart melted.

Everyone laughed again.

...

They had already soaked for a whole day.

But no one wanted to get out.

Still, since the auction was over, it was time to get up.

They rose from the hot spring, water streaming down their bodies, following the contours of their skin, dripping into the water.

Mist swirled, steam rose, and skin was faintly visible.

The maid robots brought clothes.

Various styles, colors, and materials.

Modest, sexy, loungewear, going-out clothes.

Everyone made their choices.

Su Yingxue picked up a light purple dress, held it up to herself, and nodded in satisfaction.

Then she walked to a partition and knocked.

"Qianye, Shanshan, come out and pick clothes."

There was no sound from inside.

Su Yingxue knocked again: "If you don't come out, I'm coming in."

The door opened.

Qianye and Lu Shan stood at the entrance, heads down, not daring to look outside.

Su Yingxue took their hands and led them over.

"Pick."

Qianye and Lu Shan looked at the clothes, then at the naked bodies around them, and blushed again.

This time, they would finally be completely open with each other.

Earlier, when they were in the hot spring, they had worn swimsuits.

Now, the swimsuits were soaked through, clinging to their bodies, more tempting than being naked.

They needed to change clothes.

And changing clothes meant...

They would have to be completely open with this family.

Qianye gritted her teeth and reached up to take off her swimsuit.

Lu Shan hesitated for a moment, then followed suit.

Su Yingxue and the sisters looked at them, their eyes lighting up.

Qianye had a great figure, curvaceous and perfectly proportioned.

Her skin was fair, smooth as silk, without a single flaw.

Lu Shan also had a great figure, slender and graceful, with smooth lines.

Her skin was delicate, like fine mutton-fat jade.

They stood there like two perfect sculptures.
