68: Chapter 68 Turning Over in a Dream and Singing

Just as Xu Ruyu roared "Get lost," his sleeping body was driven by a primitive instinct. His waist and abdomen suddenly exerted force, and the waist strength he had accumulated all day exploded!

Xu Ruyu's arms unconsciously and violently lifted and twisted upward.

The soft body on top of him, which carried an inviolable majesty, clearly had not expected such a violent and sudden resistance in this state.

"Mmm~"

A short cry of surprise rang out.

In the next second, the person on top felt the world spin!

Thud!

A dull sound was followed by a suppressed cry of pain.

Xu Ruyu felt the weight on him vanish, replaced by a familiar sense of inverted positions—in his daze, relying on the strength of his instinctive outburst, he had once again... overturned the person on top and pinned them beneath him!

In the confusion, his arm brushed against scattered hair as smooth as silk, his lips inadvertently grazed a patch of delicate, cool skin, and the cold fragrance swirling around his nose suddenly intensified...

The person pinned below seemed to fall into a brief state of paralysis and bewilderment. Only their chest rose and fell violently, their breathing becoming rapid and chaotic. Those eyes, which seemed to emit a cold radiance even in the dark, were likely filled with shock, shame, and disbelief at this moment.

Xu Ruyu's groggy consciousness was not fully awake. He only felt that this position... seemed... a bit more comfortable than before?

Had he regained a bit of the initiative at this moment?

The resentment in his heart from being manipulated seemed to be partially vented through this successful "counterattack."

Thus, driven by a man's instinct, he did not immediately release the soft body beneath him. Instead, as if to consolidate his "spoils of war" and prevent the other party from "counter-attacking" again, he pressed his body down heavily. His arms wrapped tighter, and his head even unconsciously nuzzled into the cold-scented crook of her neck, letting out a satisfied sigh.

The person beneath him trembled violently and began to struggle fiercely.

"No, if this continues, I'll have to lean on the wall again tomorrow morning~"

The person pinned below couldn't help but think in a panic.

However, the strength of the person on top was surprisingly immense.

If it were in the past when her cultivation hadn't been lost, a single thought from her could have turned someone into ashes.

But after all, she was no longer that omnipotent Saint Realm Expert.

Helpless, she could only summon her majesty as a Revered Master, attempting to use this method to berate him for his lashing.

"Impudent! You... let go!"

The low, trembling scolding rang out in the silent room, but because of the Taixu Fox Shadow Sound-Proofing Array, not a bit of it leaked out.

Xu Ruyu was made even more dizzy by this struggle. He only felt that the other party was being unruly—did she still want to "resist"?

How could that be allowed? How could the "initiative" he had worked so hard to snatch back be taken away again!

Relying on instinct, he used both hands and feet to suppress the resistance of the person beneath him, making it difficult for her to break free for a time.

The breaths of the two were completely entangled; cold and heat collided, struggle and suppression intertwined, and the bed let out a faint groan under the heavy burden.

In the chaos, no one knew whose lips touched whose, and scorching heat instantly melded with a slight chill.

The person beneath him jerked as if struck by lightning, her struggling strength momentarily stagnating.

And in that moment of stagnation, something even more unexpected happened—

Xiao Nianyin discovered with horror that the weak Qi flow she had painstakingly guided back through last night and previous attempts—barely enough to keep her from a total collapse—was now like a flood breaking a dam, surging uncontrollably toward the body of the youth pressing down on her!

She wasn't the one guiding it!

It wasn't even the usual path of her Cultivation Technique's backlash!

Instead, it was like magnets attracting each other, or parched land frantically absorbing water. It was the Saint Realm Origin belonging to her within Xu Ruyu's body that, upon sensing her identical aura through such "intense" contact, triggered a violent backflow?!

"No... you, stop quickly... don't move..."

Xiao Nianyin's voice carried an unprecedented panic. She wanted to use her last bit of strength to sever this connection, but found herself completely powerless!

She was like a piece of ice thrown into a raging fire, melting at an unprecedented speed!

Xu Ruyu, in his semi-conscious state, only felt a massive and pure cooling aura, like the Nine Heavens Milky Way pouring down, frantically surging into his limbs and bones!

The Taixu True Qi cyclone within his Dantian expanded wildly like a balloon being blown up, its color rapidly shifting from silver-white to a more dazzling bright silver!

His cultivation began to soar at a terrifying, rocket-like speed!

Qi Refining Middle Stage Peak... Qi Refining Late Stage... Qi Refining Late Stage Peak...

In contrast, the delicate body beneath him trembled more and more noticeably, her aura rapidly withering away.

No one knew how much time had passed; perhaps it was only a dozen breaths, but to Xiao Nianyin, it felt as long as a century.

When that terrifying suction finally gradually subsided, she felt as if her body had been completely hollowed out. She didn't even have the strength to lift a finger, and her vision went black in waves. Only Xu Ruyu's gradually smoothing, faint snoring reached her ears.

This bastard, he actually fell asleep on his own after he was finished?!

And after "plundering" the bit of cultivation she had so painstakingly recovered, he just pressed down on her... and fell asleep?!

Endless shame, frustration, and a shameful reaction she herself was unwilling to admit flooded Xiao Nianyin.

She lay on the messy bedding, the heavy Xu Ruyu pressing down on her, her cold eyes staring blankly at the ceiling in the darkness.

Once again...

She had gone for wool and come home shorn.

No, what she lost this time wasn't just wool; it was the little bit of life-sustaining "Seed grain" she had managed to pick up!

She could even feel that her current state was worse than yesterday morning. That bone-deep emptiness almost made her want to faint right then and there.

And all of this was "thanks to" this bastard boy sleeping soundly on top of her!

No one knew how much longer the stalemate lasted, until a faint glimmer of dawn peeked through the window, and Xiao Nianyin finally gathered a sliver of strength.

Using all her might, she bit by bit crawled out from under Xu Ruyu.

When her feet touched the floor, she even staggered, nearly collapsing. She hurriedly grabbed the wall to barely stay upright.

At this moment, Xiao Nianyin's clothes were in utter disarray, her long hair was disheveled, and faint red marks remained on her exposed skin.

She turned back, glanced at Xu Ruyu who was still sound asleep on the bed, and bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth.

In the end, she did nothing. She only staggered while leaning against the wall, leaving this Side Hall that had caused her consecutive "heavy blows" as silently as she had the night before.

And next door, in the room where the Taihu Clan Seductive Woman lived, a playful chuckle seemed to ring out, which soon dissipated with the wind...
