Help my senior brother reduce internal heat
At this thought, the grievance in Lin Waner's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a look of determination.
She took a deep breath to calm her emotions and then raised her head again, her face wearing a smile that, though a bit forced, was still moving enough.
“Senior Brother...”
Her voice became increasingly soft and sweet, and her body coiled around him like a snake, pressing tightly against Su Ye.
At this moment, she utilized the traits of the Primal Water Body to their fullest extent.
It wasn't just physical softness, but a temperament that seemed capable of turning even steel into something soft enough to wrap around a finger.
“Since Senior Brother says... I am the best 'fire extinguisher'...”
Lin Waner stood on her tiptoes, leaned into Su Ye's ear, and exhaled a fragrance like orchids:
“Then Senior Brother just helped Fourth Senior Sister awaken her Physique in the Lava Cave, and you've been tainted with so much dry heat from the Earth Fire...”
“Now... does Senior Brother need Waner to help... properly cool you down?”
As she spoke, she grew bolder, extending her small, jade-like hand and slowly sliding it down Su Ye's chest.
Although her movements were still a bit clumsy and her fingers were trembling slightly, her determination to actively seek favor was unmistakable.
To protect her status!
To not be outdone by Fourth Senior Sister!
She was going all out!
Feeling the clumsy yet bold provocation of the young girl in his arms, Su Ye's breath hitched slightly.
This girl.
She was crying just a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, she's started playing with fire?
What kind of fire extinguisher was this?
This was clearly pouring oil on the flames!
He grabbed Lin Waner's mischievous little hand, stopping her dangerous downward movement.
“Ahem.”
Su Ye coughed twice, suppressing the evil fire that had been stirred up within him.
Although he really wanted to go with the flow and completely devour this little lamb who had delivered herself to his door.
But... reason told him that now was not the time.
Ye Linglong had just had a Breakthrough, and her state was unstable; something could go wrong at any moment.
Moreover, Revered Master Yun Yuzhen, that old... ahem, that tsundere Revered Master, must be watching this place with her Divine Sense right now.
If he were to take Waner into his Immortal Cave to 'mess around' now, he estimated that by tomorrow morning, a June snow would fall over at the Cold Jade Palace.
For the sake of his kidneys and the harmony of Purple Bamboo Peak, he had to exercise restraint tonight.
“Junior Sister Waner, regarding the matter of cooling down, there will be plenty of time in the future.”
Su Ye held her small hand, kissed it lightly, and then used a bit of force to push her away from his embrace.
“Tonight, Senior Brother still has important matters to handle. Your Fourth Senior Sister just returned, and I need to go help her as a Protector, and then go to Revered Master to report the situation.”
“Ah...”
Hearing this, the light in Lin Waner's eyes dimmed instantly, and her small mouth pouted again.
“Going to accompany Fourth Senior Sister again...”
“And Revered Master too...”
She reluctantly let go. Although she was a hundred percent unwilling, she knew that serious business came first.
Besides, since Senior Brother mentioned Revered Master, she wouldn't dare to pester him further even if she were given ten times the courage.
At Purple Bamboo Peak, Revered Master Yun Yuzhen's authority was supreme. Even the favored Eldest Senior Brother was well-behaved in front of Revered Master... well, on the surface.
“Alright, be good.”
Seeing her look like a mistreated little wife, Su Ye couldn't help but reach out and rub her head again.
“Go back and Cultivate well, don't let your mind wander.”
“When you Breakthrough to the Golden Core Second Heaven, Senior Brother will promise to help you properly 'clear' your Meridians.”
The night wind brushed through the Purple Bamboo Sea, rustling like the whispers of countless lovers.
Su Ye had just turned and taken half a step when his sleeve was caught by a gentle yet exceptionally firm force.
The force wasn't large and carried a slight tremor, yet it revealed a desperation akin to staking everything on a single throw.
“Sen... Senior Brother...”
Lin Waner's voice was as thin as a strand of silk, yet in this quiet night, it clearly entered Su Ye's ears.
Su Ye turned back.
Under the moonlight, Lin Waner's small face, which had still been tear-stained, was now as red as a ripe honey peach, the flush reaching all the way to her translucent earlobes, and even her slender neck was stained with a layer of pink.
In her large, watery eyes, a misty haze swirled. Her pearly teeth bit her lower lip tightly, almost to the point of drawing blood.
“What's wrong?”
Su Ye raised an eyebrow and asked, feigning ignorance, “Didn't I tell you to go back and Cultivate well, and strive to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Second Heaven soon?”
“I...”
Lin Waner took a deep breath, as if using all her strength to squeeze the words out of her throat:
“Waner... doesn't want to wait anymore.”
“Hmm?” The smile in Su Ye's eyes deepened.
She enunciated those words very heavily, as if they carried a certain scalding temperature.
Lin Waner looked up, and in those eyes that were originally weak and helpless, a flame named 'possessiveness' now burned. This was a woman's intuition, and even more so, the instinctive counterattack of the Primal Water Body upon sensing a crisis.
“Since Senior Brother says I am the best 'fire extinguisher,' and since Senior Brother has the fire left by Fourth Senior Sister on him...”
As she spoke, she let go of Su Ye's sleeve and instead boldly wrapped her arms around Su Ye's waist.
That soft, boneless body clung tightly to Su Ye's tall figure like a vine, leaving no gap at all.
“That kind of restless fire, if left in the body for too long, will... will harm you.”
“Although Waner's cultivation is low, only at the Golden Core First Heaven...”
As soon as these words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Lin Waner also seemed to realize what kind of bold words she had said. She was so ashamed that she buried her face firmly in Su Ye's chest, not daring to look at him at all, but the arms holding him tightened even more.
“Senior Brother, just take Waner now...”
A muffled voice came from his embrace, carrying a hint of a sob, but more of it was the courage of burning one's bridges.
“If we wait until tomorrow... if we wait until the Golden Core Second Heaven...”
“Who knows if that little vixen Fourth Senior Sister will sneak into Senior Brother's Immortal Cave in the middle of the night?”
“Who knows if Revered Master will find another excuse to call Senior Brother to the Cold Jade Palace to 'check your body'?”
“Waner is afraid...”
“Waner is afraid that if Senior Brother leaves tonight, this fire will be extinguished by someone else...”
“In that case... in that case, what use would Waner's 'Primal Water Body' be?”
Listening to the young girl's confession, which was logically peculiar yet struck right at the heart of the matter, the string in Su Ye's heart finally snapped.
He looked down at the Junior Sister in his arms, who, in order to compete for favor, did not hesitate to set aside all her modesty; his gaze gradually became deep.
It wasn't just desire.
It was also a strong protective and conquering desire arising from the other party's wholehearted reliance and demand.
The Primal Water Body was indeed a rare Physique in the world.
Water benefits all things without contention.
But if this water truly falls in love and truly wants to submerge someone, that gentle sense of suffocation can melt even the hardest rock.
Furthermore.
Su Ye felt the residual Pure Yang Fire in his body, which was restless because he had just helped Ye Linglong awaken her Physique. Just as Lin Waner said, it was running wild in his Meridians, seeking an outlet for release.
It was better to channel it than to block it.
Since the water had been delivered to his lips, how could he not drink it?
“You asked for this.”
Su Ye's voice became somewhat husky, carrying a hint of dangerous magnetism.
He didn't give Lin Waner a chance to regret it.
The next moment.
The world spun.
Lin Waner only felt her body lighten as she was picked up by Su Ye around the waist.
“Ah—!”
She gave a short cry and subconsciously hooked her arms around Su Ye's neck.
“Sen... Senior Brother?”
“Didn't you say you didn't want to wait?”
The corners of Su Ye's mouth curled into a wicked arc, and with a shift in his steps, he used the technique of Shrinking the Earth to an Inch.
“Then let's make the most of our time.”
“The nights on Purple Bamboo Peak are very short.”
Rumble—
With a wave of Su Ye's hand, the stone door of the Eldest Senior Brother's Immortal Cave, which usually symbolized the highest authority of Purple Bamboo Peak, slowly opened.
An extremely dense Spiritual Qi rushed towards them.
This was the convergence point of the Purple Bamboo Peak's Spiritual Vein, and also the Forbidden Ground where Su Ye usually cultivated in seclusion.
Except for Revered Master Yun Yuzhen occasionally coming to 'inspect,' and a few Junior Sisters being occasionally allowed in for 'tutoring,' this was almost one of the most mysterious places in the Taichu Holy Land.
Su Ye carried Lin Waner into the Immortal Cave with large strides.
As their figures vanished into the darkness, the heavy stone door rumbled shut again.
Several complex Restriction lights flashed on the stone door and then disappeared.
That was an Isolation Formation.
Even a powerhouse in the Half-Saint Realm would not be able to spy on any movement inside without forcibly breaking the formation.
Inside the Immortal Cave, it wasn't dark as one might imagine.
Several fist-sized Moonstones were embedded in the surrounding stone walls, emitting a soft and ambiguous glow.
In the center was a Cloud Bed carved from Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Cold Jade, covered with a brocade quilt woven from the Ice Silkworm Silk of the Far North, which could both assist in cultivation and maintain a constant temperature.
Su Ye gently placed Lin Waner on the Cloud Bed.
Touching the slightly cool silkworm silk quilt, Lin Waner's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
She looked at the Eldest Senior Brother watching her from above, her heart beating so fast it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.
Is it... really going to happen?
Although she had had several 'deep exchanges' with Senior Brother before, most of them were half-reluctant or under the guise of healing injuries.
A situation like today, where she actively sought intimacy and went straight to the point, was a first.
Shyness, expectation, tension, and a hint of fear of the unknown—all sorts of emotions intertwined, making her beautiful small face look exceptionally vivid.
“Wha... what's wrong?”
Seeing Su Ye just staring at her without making a move, Lin Waner shifted her body uneasily, her long legs flickering in and out of view under her skirt.
“I was thinking.”
Su Ye extended a finger and gently hooked a strand of black hair from her chest, slowly winding it around his fingertip.
“My Junior Sister Waner, does this count as... taking advantage of a fire tonight?”
“No... no such thing!”
Being caught out, Lin Waner's face turned red, and her eyes dodged his.
“It's clearly... clearly sacrificing myself to save you from the fire!”
“Oh? Sacrificing yourself to save me from the fire?”
Su Ye chuckled, his finger sliding down from the strand of hair and landing on her exquisite collarbone, then continuing downward, hovering at the edge of her thin-as-a-cicada-wing gauze dress.
“Then do you know that the residual poison of this Pure Yang True Fire combined with the Red Lotus Karmic Fire isn't something ordinary water can extinguish?”
“If you're not careful... it might even burn you dry.”
“I'm not afraid!”
Lin Waner puffed out her chest; although a frantic little deer was hidden inside, her tone was exceptionally firm.
“I am the Primal Water Body!”
“Water is infinite!”
“As long as... as long as Senior Brother doesn't mind...”
“As long as Senior Brother can give the affection he gives to Fourth Senior Sister to Waner...”
“Even if Waner is burnt dry, she is willing!”
These words were spoken plaintively and movingly.
The last trace of playfulness in Su Ye's eyes finally vanished, replaced by an emotion called 'tenderness.'
“Silly girl.”
He lowered his head and kissed that incessantly talking small mouth, sealing all the words between their lips and teeth.
“Mmm...”
Lin Waner's eyes widened, then slowly closed, her hands tightly clutching Su Ye's shoulders as she responded clumsily yet passionately.
This kiss was not like the gentle ones of the past.
It carried the dominance of fire and the lingering tenderness of water.
It was like dry wood meeting a blazing fire, or a long drought meeting sweet rain.
Rip—
The sound of tearing silk was exceptionally piercing in the quiet Immortal Cave.
Lin Waner only felt a chill on her body as that troublesome light-blue Flowing Immortal Dress turned into butterfly-like pieces, fluttering to the ground.
Her skin was whiter than snow, surpassing frost and ice.
Under the illumination of the soft Moonstones, this delicate body possessing the Primal Water Body seemed to be emitting a faint, precious glow itself.
This was no ordinary mortal body.
It was a masterpiece created by the spiritual essence of heaven and earth.
Every inch of skin had a water-like texture, as if one could squeeze water out of it with a gentle pinch.
“So beautiful...”
Su Ye's Adam's apple bobbed as he praised her from the bottom of his heart.
Being so bluntly praised and watched by her beloved, Lin Waner was so ashamed that her whole body turned red. She subconsciously wanted to curl up her body to hide the spring-like scene in the room.
“Don't move.”
Su Ye's large hand pressed down on her jade-like hands that wanted to cover herself.
His palm was burning hot, carrying a clear Pure Yang Qi. As soon as it touched Lin Waner's slightly cool skin, it triggered a slight shiver.
“Didn't you want to help Senior Brother cool down?”
“Now is just the beginning.”
Su Ye no longer hesitated. His Supreme Bone vibrated slightly, and a majestic spiritual power instantly swept through his body, shattering all his clothes.
“Ah...”
Lin Waner let out a short cry, which then turned into a melodious low moan.
The clash of water and fire officially began at this moment.
There was no pain as imagined.
On the contrary, her Primal Water Body reacted instantly.
Her originally calm Qi Sea and Dantian now seemed to turn into a vast ocean.
That external fire was like a violent fire dragon rushing into the ocean.
If it were an ordinary Physique, her Meridians would probably have been burned and destroyed by this fire instantly.
But Lin Waner was different.
She was water.
The most gentle, most inclusive, yet also the most resilient water.
Her Meridians and her spiritual power seemed to turn into countless gentle hands at this moment, wrapping around that fire dragon layer by layer.
