"This is pain mixed with joy." Chu Xianling turned her head slightly and gave Song Xiaodong a sweet smile, reaching out gently to entwine her arm around his.
Song Xiaodong turned his head to look at Chu Xianling, who t his gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"
With a toothy smile, Song Xiaodong replied, "Is this the first ti you've held my arm like this outside of practicing Kung Fu? It still feels quite comfortable."
Chu Xianling said, "Who said not? Seems like during events, I've held you like this too."
Song Xiaodong said, "Seems like it, but it's not the sa as when we practice Kung Fu."
"During practice, the contact is more intense, isn't it? You seem to enjoy it more then." Chu Xianling's eyes glimred with a faint smile.
"It's not the sa. Even though during practice, our contact is more intense and intimate, it's for the sake of Kung Fu, making
feel like you aren't genuinely wanting to be close to
from your heart."
"What about now?"
"Now, it's different."
The two gazed at each other and smiled brightly; Chu Xianling's arm tightened slightly, changing from entwining to embracing.
"Xianling, I really feel now that I've gained your heart."
Walking along the path for a few dozen ters, Song Xiaodong gently spoke as he turned his head.
Chu Xianling turned to look at Song Xiaodong and said, "You speak too soon, my heart is not so easily won."
"So hard? Don't discourage ." Song Xiaodong said, smiling like a fox.
"Patriarch Song, Young Sect Master Song, is there anything that can still challenge you now?"
"Yes, like your heart, Xianling. I am not confident; I must work hard to capture your heart, lest it slips away."
Chu Xianling smiled sweetly, responding, "Since you are so determined, I'll give you the chance."
Song Xiaodong laughed, pointing to a nearby pavilion, "Let's sit over there for a bit."
"Alright." They sat in the pavilion, and servants soon brought tea and snacks, then discreetly withdrew.
Chu Xianling poured a cup of tea for Song Xiaodong, then sat down, sipping gently and saying, "Xiaodong, staying here, I want to learn more about dual cultivation, not truly trying to..." Pausing, Chu Xianling's face showed a hint of embarrassnt.
Song Xiaodong nodded, "I understand, but... are you planning on watching it live here?"
Chu Xianling coughed lightly, eting Song Xiaodong's gaze, "Is that not allowed?"
Song Xiaodong took a sip of tea, saying, "Honestly, it's a bit awkward for . Normally, we're all involved directly."
Chu Xianling said, "Soone has to be on the sidelines and just watch, right?"
Song Xiaodong rubbed his nose, "Even if soone watches, eventually, everyone joins in. You just wanting to purely watch feels strange, like I'm performing."
Chu Xianling's face turned red, "You're right, it's quite embarrassing. I've never even watched a short film, yet suddenly want to see the live version."
"Pfft..." Song Xiaodong almost sprayed out his tea, "Your comparison is apt, but never having seen even a short film? Then again, soone like you, a fairy, wouldn't watch such things."
Chu Xianling gently shook her head, seriously saying, "I used to think such things were bad. But learning about dual cultivation from you has changed my view. It's a natural human instinct for reproduction, a wondrous thing that can also improve our cultivation level. Most importantly..."
Chu Xianling paused, appearing embarrassed, "During our practice, it awakened a longing within , and once, I even dread of such things."
Song Xiaodong stared wide-eyed at Chu Xianling.
Feeling uneasy under Song Xiaodong's gaze, slightly flustered, Chu Xianling said, "Why are you looking at
like that? Do you think I... am not a good person for saying this?"
Song Xiaodong imdiately shook his head vigorously, "No, no." He moved closer and, holding Chu Xianling's hand, spoke excitedly, "Xianling, I'm astonished you'd share such things with . It really excites ."
"Huh?" Chu Xianling was taken aback by this sudden action.
"What I an is, for a woman, such matters are extrely private, only told to those truly loved, which ans you really like ."
Looking into Song Xiaodong's eyes, Chu Xianling slowly nestled against him, resting her head on his shoulder, "If you say it's love, then it's love."
The fragrance of Chu Xianling's hair filled Song Xiaodong's senses, becoming thoroughly intoxicated, as he leaned over to kiss her hair lightly.
Chu Xianling trembled slightly but didn't shy away, gently wrapping her arms around Song Xiaodong's waist.
This undoubtedly encouraged Song Xiaodong; his arms tightened, pulling Chu Xianling closer as he kissed her hair more earnestly.
From Chu Xianling's hair, Song Xiaodong's lips gradually moved toward her forehead.
In this position, Chu Xianling's forehead was the furthest he could go; Song Xiaodong wanted to kiss lower but felt as if desecrating a fairy, lacking the courage to lift her head.
Then Chu Xianling slowly raised her head, her eyes softly closing, veiling the usual clarity with a dreamy allure.
"Xianling..." Song Xiaodong's warm breath touched her forehead.
Chu Xianling said nothing, simply closing her eyes gradually, and raising her chin slightly.
For the seasoned Song Xiaodong, he understood exactly what this signified.
Yet, his experience allowed him to control his emotions, and he softly kissed her forehead again.
Then, bit by bit, his kisses moved to her eyebrows, her eyes, her cheeks, her nose...
When every inch of her face was kissed, Song Xiaodong finally kissed Chu Xianling's lips.
Chu Xianling's hand abruptly gripped Song Xiaodong's clothes, grasping so tightly she touched his skin.
As a Kung Fu expert, Chu Xianling didn't keep long nails, but her prowess ant that even such unconscious actions carried trendous force.
If Song Xiaodong's ability wasn't slightly higher, that grip might've injured him.
The pain nearly stopped Song Xiaodong, but he knew it was a spontaneous gesture of a woman caught up in emotion.
And with Chu Xianling's alluring lips before him, stopping now would dishonor both himself and her.
He kissed resolutely.
Chu Xianling's body was tense, her grip stronger, but as ti passed, her fingers relaxed, resting upon and even tenderly caressing Song Xiaodong's back...
