129: A gluttonous cat and a dragon girl; it's perfectly reasonable for friends to share a room, right? (Two-in-one)

Xu Jinhuan was amused by Ao Linger's gluttonous appearance, and the negative emotions from sweeping through the nests of the fallen were swept away.

"Haha, Linger, you don't have to be so reserved. Just eat to your heart's content; I won't fight you for it."

"Hehe, Linger knew it! Young Master is the best!"

The young girl Ao Linger's eyes narrowed into happy little crescent moons, and she suddenly jumped up, throwing herself into Xu Jinhuan's embrace.

In the heat of the moment, she even kissed Xu Jinhuan's cheek several times.

After kissing him, she realized in hindsight that her actions were too intimate, completely crossing the boundaries of propriety between ordinary men and women.

With a 'whoosh', the young girl's pretty face flushed red, and her body, which was hugging Xu Jinhuan, stiffened slightly.

Her breathing lost its rhythm, her chest heaved rapidly, and her intense heartbeat could be felt through her clothing.

Xu Jinhuan didn't notice anything, or rather, he was convincing himself.

Isn't it completely normal for friends to have some physical contact?

"Let's go, let's take a walk in the nearest Mortal city."

"Young Master, Young Master, I want this sugar painting! And this fried sugar cake! I want that candied hawthorn too!"

"Wow! This meat bun looks so fragrant, and this roasted sweet potato, I want to taste them all!"

She seemed to fall in love with everything she saw, stopping at every stall for a moment. The food in her hands changed batch after batch, and her little mouth never stopped. Xu Jinhuan followed behind her, his hands also full of food, and for a moment, he couldn't even keep up with eating it all.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

Xu Jinhuan stroked the girl's back and said helplessly.

He hadn't expected that this little girl, who had volunteered to save her brother, was actually a glutton.

Her stomach was a bottomless pit; she had tasted delicacies from the entire street, yet showed no signs of stopping, as if she hadn't had enough.

"Hehe, Young Master is so good!"

Whether it was because the food was too delicious or the gentle stroking on her back was too soothing, Ao Linger narrowed her eyes in pure enjoyment.

She even rubbed her little head against his palm, like a clingy little kitten.

After strolling through another long street, the two walked side by side onto the river embankment.

The evening breeze blew gently, carrying the coolness of dusk and the dampness of the river, causing Ao Linger's long hair to flutter. A few strands brushed against Xu Jinhuan's arm, making it ticklish.

Ao Linger had already naturally pressed against Xu Jinhuan's side, her left hand intentionally or unintentionally brushing against the back of his hand. The moment their fingertips touched, she would pull back like a startled little deer, repeating this several times, never tiring of it.

The two were very close.

Clearly, Ao Linger had long since lowered all defenses against the man beside her, and was even secretly hoping to take their relationship a step further.

Ao Linger walked slowly, eating the wolf meat flatbread in her hand absentmindedly, not even noticing that she had reached the end of the river embankment.

"Young Master is so good to me, how can I repay him?"

"Be a beast of burden for him? No, I am already Young Master's exclusive White Dragon mount."

Recalling the previous bonding ceremony, her heart was filled with envy.

Qin Mengli's resistance was exactly what she dreamed of!

Why isn't Young Master's Dao Companion me?!

"If I want to go further, I can only become a mount in another sense. I also want to have my bridal veil lifted by Young Master, be pressed under him, have my clothes stripped away, and then be forcibly..."

She thought secretly in her heart, and just as she reached the critical point, her pretty face was burning hot.

Suddenly, her feet slipped, and Ao Linger was instantly terrified!

Then, a great force came from her side. Ao Linger felt her body lighten, and the next second she landed steadily in a warm and familiar embrace, a familiar and powerful hand firmly supporting her waist.

"Hmm? Young Master, what's wrong..."

She looked up dizzily, and upon seeing the scene before her, she realized she had almost stepped into the river, breaking out in a cold sweat. After realizing what happened, her cheeks turned red again, and she buried her little head in Xu Jinhuan's chest, her voice as thin as a mosquito.

"Thank you, Young Master..."

"It's fine. Remember to watch where you're going next time."

Xu Jinhuan released the young girl in his arms, looked up at the twilight sky, and continued.

"It's getting late, let's find an inn to stay in, and return to the Holy Land tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Linger will leave it to Young Master to arrange."

Ao Linger agreed obediently, her head buried in his chest, while the corners of her mouth couldn't help but sneakily curl upwards.

Hehehe, the feeling of being held tightly by Young Master is so good!

Who would have thought that someone was just pretending?

In the inn, it was bustling with people, with travelers coming and going, very lively.

"Innkeeper, is there really only one Heavenly-grade room left?"

Xu Jinhuan looked at the sweating old innkeeper behind the counter, his tone full of suspicion; he always felt this routine was a bit familiar.

Damn profiteer, there's hunger marketing here too!

"It's absolutely true! Guest, today happens to be the local temple fair, and there are many travelers coming and going. There really is only this one Heavenly-grade room left!"

The old innkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly, his expression not looking fake.

"Linger, should we..."

Xu Jinhuan just wanted to ask if they should change to another inn, or just settle for a normal room for the night.

As a result, Ao Linger's movements were faster than his, and she directly took out a heavy ingot of silver and slapped it on the counter, saying decisively.

"We will take that one room."

"Alright! One Heavenly-grade room!"

The old innkeeper's eyes lit up instantly, and he deftly collected the silver and shouted loudly.

A few seconds later, a waiter walked out from the back hall, with a rag on his shoulder, bowing and respectfully signaling:

"Two distinguished guests, please come this way!"

Ao Linger didn't say a word, directly pulling Xu Jinhuan's hand and impatiently following behind, her steps light, for fear of staying even half a second longer.

Not long after the two left, a familiar voice came from behind, with the same doubt.

"Innkeeper, is there really only one Heavenly-grade room left?"

Such a familiar routine!

But looking at the beautiful figure beside him, Xu Jinhuan chuckled and threw these thoughts to the back of his mind.

Going out with a friend, being tricked by a profiteer, and staying in the same room is also very reasonable, right?

The Heavenly-grade room was spacious and elegant, with flickering candlelight.

The moon climbed onto the branches, and somewhere in the room, mist was steaming, reflecting the young girl's stunning appearance.

Ao Linger soaked in the large bathtub, her long hair sticking to her snow-white shoulders, her cheeks flushed, and she kept taking deep breaths, seemingly trying to prepare for something.

Finally, a moment later, she spoke, her voice soft, sweet, and sticky, with a hint of shyness. "You... Young Master... Linger seems to have left the storage ring outside, could you please help me get it?"

Hearing this, Xu Jinhuan turned his head to look. The storage ring on Ao Linger's body was indeed placed on the table, and in the most conspicuous place at that.

It was as if she was afraid he wouldn't see it.

"Okay, wait a moment."

He didn't think too much about it; it was just a storage ring, and it's very normal for friends to help each other get things.

He picked up the storage ring. Although the Heavenly-grade room wasn't small, it only took him a few steps to walk to the bathroom.

Walking into it, the mist was dense. Inside the large bathtub, Ao Linger was soaking in it, with only her head poking out, still bubbling continuously.

"You scatterbrain, here, don't forget it next time, or I won't help you again."

Xu Jinhuan closed his eyes and turned his head, raising his hand to pass the storage ring over, joking.

"Hehe, thank you, Young Master, Young Master is the best!"

Splash!

The sound of water came, and Xu Jinhuan could feel a warm breeze coming from his fingertips, as if something hot and wet was approaching.

For example, the flawless body of the young girl who was just soaking in hot water.

Even though he was experienced in many battles and could make creatures as fierce as his Revered Master beg for mercy.

But at this moment, with his eyes tightly closed and only a faint trace of tactile sensation left, the beauty his body instinctively imagined still made his throat move.

"Linger, stop messing around, hurry up and take your storage ring."

Xu Jinhuan urged, sensing something was wrong, and wanted to leave quickly.

But in the very next instant, the young girl suddenly reached out and pulled!

"Ah!"

Xu Jinhuan was caught off guard and was dragged into the hot spring, water splashing everywhere, creating crystalline droplets in the air.

In the warm steam, Ao Linger's delicate body pressed tightly against his chest, her wet long hair sticking to his shoulders, carrying a faint, secluded fragrance.

Her pretty face was blushing, but she boldly raised her head, her phoenix eyes misty, her voice as thin as a mosquito, yet filled with a hint of firmness and shyness:

"Young Master, Linger... Linger wants Young Master to help Linger... wash..."

"You, always coming up with new tricks for me."

Feeling the soft, delicate body pressing against him, Xu Jinhuan could only nod helplessly.

Between friends, helping each other bathe is also very normal...

Normal, my foot!

Now that things have come to this, Xu Jinhuan finally couldn't deceive himself anymore.

He knew that today, his kidneys definitely wouldn't be able to escape this calamity...

However, who would be the one to suffer was still hard to say.

After all, Xu Jinhuan's combat power was something that even his Revered Master, Li Qingyue, would directly call unbearable...

"Hehe, thank you, Young Master!"

Ao Linger's wet long hair was draped over her shoulders, her phoenix eyes blurred, beaming with joy, smiling like a female hooligan.

"Young Master, a bit higher, no, too far, a bit lower, hmm, yes, that's it!"

"Young Master, coming is not as good as being timely, why don't you wash here too? I'll scrub your back too!"

"Young Master, Linger likes you so much, do you like Linger?"

"Really? Young Master can't lie to Linger!"

Having received the answer she wanted, the young girl leaned over and took the initiative to kiss him.

"Goo woo woo..."

Warm steam wrapped around a faint fragrance, and the romantic atmosphere in the room grew stronger.

Water splashed, and the room was filled with clear radiance.

The Dragon Girl received grace for the first time.

On the third day, Ao Linger was ultimately sore all over and unable to move, and in the end, she was carried back to Taiyi Holy Land by Xu Jinhuan the whole way.

"Young Master..."

"Linger... am I very useless? I actually made a mess everywhere, and I didn't even let Young Master have his fill..."

In his arms, Ao Linger's face was flushed, her blood and Qi were abundant, but her body couldn't move.

It's all Young Master's fault!

Recalling the absurdity before, Ao Linger still had lingering fears.

As expected of Young Master, not only is his cultivation talent high, but his Physical Body talent is also terrifyingly large.

If it weren't for her being a True Dragon, with a Physical Body far superior to ordinary Cultivators, I'm afraid she wouldn't even be able to get out of bed today, let alone be carried back to the Holy Land...

"Don't say that. At least you have the courage to face a miracle of the human body. You're much better than some of your Seniors. When they were first-timers, some were almost scared faint by me."

Xu Jinhuan comforted her with a smile.

"Young Master, you really know how to comfort people!"

Being hit where it hurt, Ao Linger glared at Xu Jinhuan with shame and annoyance, trying to make this monster shut up.

But she failed.

Her shame and annoyance only made this man go even further.

"Hehe, Little Sister Linger, I remember it was someone who took the initiative to pull me in at that time. What, can't talk about it now?"

"Young Master, stop talking, Linger knows she was wrong, wuwuwu..."

Talking and messing around all the way, they finally returned to Eastern Emperor Mountain, and Xu Jinhuan settled Ao Linger on the bed in her sleeping quarters.

Back on Eastern Emperor Mountain, back in her own loyal bedding, Ao Linger finally had the confidence to confront the devil Young Master, and spoke again.

"Young Master, I want to ask you a question."

"Go ahead, if I can say it, I definitely will."

Xu Jinhuan nodded.

Ao Linger was already his woman, and she had the right to know some things.

The young girl in his arms raised her eyes, her pair of phoenix eyes blinking, full of curiosity and inquiry.

"Young Master, how many older sisters do I actually have in front of me?"

Hearing this, Xu Jinhuan was also stunned. He didn't expect this little Dragon Clan princess to be so respectful and knowledgeable about etiquette, asking for his harem ranking right away.

This girl, in her past life, probably wasn't from Shandong.

However, there were too many beauties around him, and it was the other party who took the initiative. Plus, except for his Revered Master, he loved everyone equally.

Xu Jinhuan couldn't give an answer for a moment and needed to think carefully.

Li Qingyue, Fang Qingyao, Yin Xinsu, Jiang Luoyi, Ao Linger, that's five already.

And there's also Luo Qingxian, whose Divine Soul he merged with, she can count as half.

"Hmm..."

"To be precise, you have four and a half older sisters before you."

"?!"

Ao Linger's eyes widened instantly, full of astonishment, and she asked curiously.

"Can there be half in this kind of thing? Young Master, how did you do it? Just rubbing without...?"

When the words reached her lips, the young girl was so shy that she swallowed them back, only blinking her eyes waiting for the answer.

"Hmm..."

"How should I put it, her situation is more complicated. To help her detoxify, I had no choice but to merge my Divine Soul with hers. Afterwards, I also expressed responsibility to her, but we haven't had a real connection yet, and haven't broken through the final barrier."

Xu Jinhuan explained lightly, blurring over the fact that Luo Qingxian was poisoned and he had to merge his Divine Soul with hers to help her detoxify.

After listening, Ao Linger patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"So Young Master is a good person. You scared Linger to death. Linger thought you were that kind of scum who only teases but doesn't do it..."

Xu Jinhuan reached out and flicked her forehead, pretending to be angry.

"Stinky girl, what are you thinking about? Is your Young Master that kind of person?"

"Hehehe, why wouldn't you be? When Linger finished scrubbing Young Master's back, Young Master still wanted to slip away. If it weren't for Linger's quick eyes and fast hands, grabbing Young Master's handle and manipulating Young Master's flaw, Young Master, you would have disappeared at that time!"

Ao Linger covered her head, pouting in defiance.

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't talk about it, rest well, I'm leaving first!"

This time, it was Xu Jinhuan's turn to flee in panic.

In the room, a triumphant smile appeared on Ao Linger's face.

Hehehehe, can't beat you, Young Master, but can't I take advantage of you with my words?

She turned over, feeling sore and weak all over, her bones feeling like they were falling apart. Even after two days, her body was still limp and powerless.

Feeling her physical condition, Ao Linger buried her face in the pillow, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Wuwuwu, Young Master is really too bad!

But...

Linger likes it so much!
