Her own little bottom was tense, contracting and trembling for a while, before suddenly relaxing completely, becoming as soft as cotton in Liu Mengshen's half-naked embrace, her eyes glazed over, and she had no strength left.
Seeing that she had already climaxed, Liu Mengshen slowed down her movements of rubbing her breasts. Her big eyes were full of curiosity, and she was nervously and excitedly observing her fifth sister. Although she was still a little jealous, she could not hide her excitement at seeing this scene.
"Fifth Sister," she called softly, "Are you alright?"
Hua Caiyan closed her eyes, too tired to pay attention to her, wanting only to savor the afterglow of the climax and appreciate the wonderful feeling.
Yun Chuan's still-erect member remained inside her. He lay down on her sweat-drenched back, gently rubbing her temples.
The little fox instinctively turned her head to respond to his kiss, but as soon as she made a move, she suddenly realized that Liu Mengshen was still watching, so she shyly dodged back and forth, blushing as she stubbornly continued, "No, don't."
Her face flushed with embarrassment, and she tried to escape from his embrace, but Yun Chuan's large hands held her and Liu Mengshen tightly in his arms without saying a word. The three of them were pressed close together. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't get away. She struggled symbolically for a moment, but then she was too lazy to move and let him press against her.
Liu Mengshen was still surprised by the relationship between the two. Her impression of their relationship was still based on the previous fact that Hua Caiyan was prejudiced against humans, so she racked her brains and tried every means to drive him out of the house.
Unable to contain her curiosity, she couldn't help but ask, "Fifth Sister, Chu'an, what exactly... is going on?"
Hua Caiyan looked at her younger sister, feeling a surge of anger. Although she knew she was being unreasonable, she couldn't suppress her possessiveness: "What's wrong? He's not your husband. I'm just getting into it and flirting with him. Are you going to interfere for Qi Qiao's sake?"
She didn't defend herself; her words were quite righteous, and she was using this method to cover up her shyness.
Being brought to orgasm by Yun Chu'an in front of her own sister was too shameful for Hua Caiyan to accept. She could only selectively forget it and pretend that it had never happened at all.
Upon hearing this, Liu Mengshen shrank back and muttered softly, "I didn't say it was impossible..."
As she spoke, she looked at Yun Chu'an and asked softly, "So... good heavens, I never expected that even Fifth Sister..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yun Chu'an lowered his head and gently kissed her lips: "Don't ask, Meng Shen. We just need to know these things in our hearts."
Liu Meng nodded, seemingly confused, and could tell that Hua Caiyan didn't really want to continue the discussion. She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't suppress her curiosity any longer. Looking at Yun Chu'an, she asked a somewhat silly question: "Then, does Seventh Sister know?"
Yun Chu'an was both amused and exasperated. He shook his head and gently stroked her hair: "Of course she doesn't know."
Hua Caiyan whispered, "I didn't tell her either, and you're not allowed to tell her either!"
Liu Mengshen was somewhat speechless: "Of course I won't tell her. Fifth Sister, you didn't tell her about my plans to handle things either, did you?"
As she spoke, she extended her little finger towards Hua Caiyan, "Then, Fifth Sister, this is our little secret, shall we keep it together?"
Hua Caiyan pouted, still wanting to possess Yun Chu'an all to herself, but unfortunately, she couldn't. Whether it was Liu Mengshen or Qi Qiao, she couldn't actually gain any advantage.
She pouted, reluctantly extending her little finger to hook it with hers, and said, "Then let's pinky swear."
Yun Chu'an, holding the two girls on either side, pulled the blanket over them from the foot of the bed, covering the three of them, who were almost naked, and they slept together under the blanket.
It was getting late, and after their intense lovemaking, fatigue gradually crept over the two girls. Without further delay, the three of them embraced and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, early in the morning.
When Yun Chu'an slowly awoke from his sleep, the first thing he saw was the familiar ceiling of the cave. A faint fragrance of young girls wafted from his side. He glanced left and right and saw Hua Caiyan and Liu Mengshen lying naked on either side of him, their expressions serene, fast asleep.
Hua Caiyan lay on her side, hugging his arm. Her soft breasts created a shallow cleavage on her chest. Her arms were wrapped around his large arm, and a soft touch came from above, but she was completely unaware of it. She was still immersed in a sweet dream, breathing evenly and sleeping soundly.
Her sleeping posture was relatively peaceful, while on the other side, Liu Mengshen was sleeping in a haphazard way, with most of the blanket kicked to the ground. Her head was tilted and rested on Yun Chuan'an's chest, her whole body was almost lying sideways, her bare chest facing him, her arms wrapped around his waist, and she was breathing with her mouth open, her sleeping posture was extremely exaggerated.
Looking at the two girls on the bed, now enjoying a sweet sleep because of him, Yun Chu'an couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
It was already early morning, but he didn't get up. After waiting a while, he saw Hua Caiyan's long eyelashes tremble twice, then she opened her eyes, her gaze dazed, having already woken up from her sleep.
Looking at the familiar ceiling, and then at her familiar lover beside her, she smiled contentedly.
She was about to say good morning as usual when she noticed her sixth sister lying sideways next to her. She couldn't help but blush and glared at him with a hint of resentment: "You really are something! One isn't enough, you want both of us sisters to sleep with you at once!"
Yun Chu'an gently ruffled her dark hair and said in a cheeky tone, "What's wrong? It's so cold outside. Wouldn't it be warmer to sleep together?"
Hua Caiyan spat: "Shameless! You absolutely can't do this again!"
The fact that she had to do that kind of thing while being watched by outsiders was a huge breach of her sense of shame. Although it felt good, her sense of shame absolutely could not accept it.
After a few more words of bickering between the two, Liu Meng slowly woke up from her sleep. Looking at her smiling lover and her angry fifth sister, both lying naked on the bed arguing, this familiar yet strange scene filled her with a warm and safe feeling, as well as a novel and wonderful sensation that lingered in her heart.
She couldn't help but smile.
After some playful banter, finally, urged by Yun Chu'an, the three of them got up together to begin a new day.
Qi Qiao was still meditating and practicing her internal energy deeper inside the cave, trying to break through her limits. Luckily, she was a zombie, and her sensory reactions were relatively dull. Otherwise, the three of them, with their unbridled and blatant behavior, would never have been able to keep it from her until now, allowing this "official wife" to spend each day happily and contentedly without her noticing.
The three of them came to the outside of the cave, where the sun had already risen in the east. They still had a lot to do, but most things were progressing smoothly so far, and they could greet the new day with hope.
While they were making careful preparations, a small meeting was also taking place within the Gongsun family.
Sturdy pine beams supported the spacious hall, at the far end of which stood the venerable tablet of the Dao Ancestor. Four men, with meticulously groomed short beards, wearing brocade hats and yellow silk robes, exuding an air of nobility, offered incense to the Dao Ancestor and prayed before walking hand in hand out of the hall.
All four exuded the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment stage. The man in the lead was named Gongsun Luo, whose cultivation level was the highest, reaching the late Foundation Establishment stage.
At this moment, he spoke first, saying in a deep voice, "I asked Gongsun Zhong's subordinates, and a few days ago, only Yong'er from my fourth brother's family went to see him. I don't know what they discussed, but it's highly likely that this time, it was Yong'er who asked him to kill someone."
They were four brothers, named Luo, Hua, Liu, and Shui, a homophone for "fallen flowers and flowing water." Finally, the fourth brother, Gongsun Shui, his eyes reddening, spoke: "My son has indeed lost contact. I asked the servants who followed him, and all they knew was that he suffered a setback in business a few days ago and was targeted by someone. Alas, it must be that person who has set his sights on my Yong'er!"
Gongsun Yong was his son and his pride. He was intelligent and quick-witted at a young age and was proficient in many business methods, which made him very fond of him.
Gongsun Hua said in a deep voice, "Then it seems that it is most likely this person who harmed Yong'er and Gongsun Zhong. Have you found out anything about that person?"
Gongsun Liu said, "We found out. The man's name is Yun Chuan. He is somewhat famous for selling a large number of talismans. Behind him is the Huaishan family, a small family that has only recently risen to prominence. They have no reputation, no territory, and have to live in the mountains. They are not very respectable."
As he spoke, his eyes were filled with disdain. Even though the patriarch of the Huai Shan family, Granny Huai Shan, was rumored to be a Golden Core expert, it couldn't hide the contempt that such a powerful and influential family held for such a small and insignificant household.
Gongsun Shui almost roared, "This person must pay with blood! It's laughable that nowadays any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to stand above our Gongsun family and act arrogantly. If we don't make them pay the price in blood, our ancestors in the afterlife will never forgive us!"
Gongsun Luo, who was in the lead, frowned slightly and said, "Wouldn't it be safer to deal with this matter later? The officials have already closed the case and determined that this was the work of the snake demon. Moreover, judging from the dates, the princess will be arriving soon. Is it not too risky for us to suddenly mobilize the power of the Foundation Establishment stage to deal with this person now?"
Chapter 225 A Lover's Gift
Gongsun Liu also said, "Yes, according to my investigation, the Huai Shan family has just received the protection of the Qingyun Sect and the Buddhist sect. Now that their backers are here, shouldn't we... at least wait until the storm has passed, at least wait until these two major sects and the princess have left, before dealing with this matter?"
With red eyes, Gongsun Shui looked at her brother: "Who among the major families doesn't know that the notorious bandit Sun Chong was actually a member of our Gongsun family? He's been killed just like that, and we don't even dare to utter a word. Doesn't that make us look like we're easy to bully?"
"What's the cost of killing a few members of the small Huai Mountain family as a warning? If we don't take action, other families will think we're weak and easy to bully, and they'll join forces to take our share. This is to make an example of them. No matter the reason, killing members of my Gongsun family will have to pay a bloody price!"
Gongsun Hua glanced at his eldest brother and then at his fourth brother: "I think what my fourth brother said makes sense. With such a big incident, other families must be watching closely, and there might even be other families cooperating behind the scenes to trick Brother Chong and then wait to see us make a fool of ourselves."
"Of course, to be on the safe side, we don't need to make any big moves. Let's not target that Huai Shan family for now, let's just kill Yun Chu'an. We can even give them a sweet treat as a way to appease them."
He made this suggestion and concluded, "Quick in and quick out, a swift and decisive battle. This way, Vaughn will not only let those petty onlookers know how powerful we are, but we also won't attract the attention of the princess, the Qingyun Sect, or anything like that. It's a win-win situation. What do you all think?"
The three brothers all looked at their eldest brother, Gongsun Luo, seemingly agreeing that it was a good plan. The latter pondered for a moment, then said, "That's right. It's inconvenient to exert pressure openly in this kind of situation; this is the only way."
As he spoke, he turned to look at his third brother: "How is the Scorpion Clan doing now?"
Gongsun Liu said, "Everything is going smoothly. They pretended to submit to the Huang Mang family and easily gained their trust. Now they are thriving. Now they can easily kill someone in the name of the Huang Mang family and pin the blame on them."
The eldest brother, Gongsun Luo, nodded: "Very good, let them do it. Remember to do it thoroughly, spread the good news in advance, that the talismans that person sells are too useful, seriously threatening these mountain demon cultivators, and many mountain demon cultivators hate Qingyun Sect and Buddhism to the bone, and now they hate the house because of the crow, so they want to take revenge on him, etc."
"At least on the surface, we absolutely must not reveal that it was us who did it."
After saying that, he looked at his fourth brother again: "I, as the eldest uncle, also remember Yong'er's revenge and will definitely take it. But for now, we must prioritize the overall situation. Once the Huangmang family is wiped out and the royal family, Buddhist sect, Qingyun Sect and other forces have left, we can deal with this Huaishan family slowly. It won't be too late."
Killing a person or wiping out a small family is something they do all the time, and they're quite adept at it now.
The bustling cities outside the mountains are the business arena where these aristocratic families engage in treacherous dealings and mutual flattery, while the mountains are the real battlefield where they unleash their full power and let their agents fight each other bloodily.
They casually take in disobedient people as dogs and crush those unruly small families; it's just a daily occurrence for them, nothing to be concerned about.
Even this time, it was obvious that the one who could kill Gongsun Zhong must be a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, but due to various concerns, they only killed Yun Chuan, a small fry who was not even at the Foundation Establishment stage, to finish their task. Gongsun Shui felt quite aggrieved, thinking that his family had really been a bit humiliated this time.
However, since his elder brother had said so, he had no choice but to back down, nodding slightly and saying, "Alright, I agree to this arrangement. We'll just kill him and then give him some appeasement. As for the others... we'll let them go for now."
The four brothers nodded in unison, had no further objections, and then got to work, beginning to make overall arrangements.
Amidst the turbulent undercurrents of the mountains, the venomous scorpions, having received their orders, began to act, researching and attempting to "eliminate only the ringleaders and deliver precise strikes" to eliminate their targets.
While they were taking action, Yun Chuan and his group were also active.
On this day, Hua Caiyan returned from her hunt and walked back to her small courtyard on Huai Mountain. Several rare crucian carp had appeared in her dimensional bag; these were medicinal herbs that Liu Mengshen had specifically asked her to hunt for in order to research new drugs.
But she wasn't in a hurry to give the things to her sister; instead, she came to Yun Chu'an's place first. They were getting along very well these days, and she missed him terribly if they hadn't seen each other for even a day or two. After returning from a two-day hunting trip in the mountains, the first thing on her mind was to come and see him as soon as possible.
Yun Chu'an was currently in the courtyard, sitting on a futon with his back to the sun, meditating. In his left hand, he held the memory thread given to him by Yan Shuiyi, trying to comprehend the sword intent stored within it. He felt an endless sharpness and fierceness assail his heart, making him shudder.
Fortunately, the sword intent was not directed at him; otherwise, he felt as if his soul was about to be sliced open.
Yan Shuiyi's sword intent seems a bit too profound for me now.
He opened his eyes and, after meditating diligently for several days, he hadn't gained much insight, which left him feeling somewhat frustrated.
Just then, the door behind them was pushed open, and Hua Caiyan skipped in: "Chu'an, did you miss me?"
He called out, and when he actually entered the courtyard, he saw the hair in his hand, and his expression immediately changed. Then his cheeks puffed out, clearly very displeased.
She was jealous again.
Yun Chuan smiled and calmly put away the strand of hair. She stood up and went to greet her: "Of course I wanted to, Fifth Sister! I even prepared a gift for you!"
As he spoke, he took out a beautifully packaged little box from his storage bag and handed it to her: "Guess what this is?"
Hua Caiyan was taken aback, and the jealousy in her heart vanished instantly: "What?"
She took it and, encouraged by Yun Chu'an's gaze, opened the box. Inside, two throwing knives crafted from black iron lay securely.
That was a throwing knife he had asked the snake demon family to find and successfully forge for him; it was also a gift he had carefully prepared for Hua Caiyan.
He had noticed long ago that although the girl's throwing knife skills were precise, the weapon itself seemed somewhat weak, so he carefully prepared all of this for her to make up for this shortcoming.
Hua Caiyan's heart was instantly filled with warmth. Her eyes curved into crescents. This gift was not only valuable but also thoughtful. It was obvious that her lover had observed her for a long time before coming up with this gift.
He cares about me.
Once this thought took root in her subconscious, she felt so beautiful she could almost fly.
Chapter 226 Dongfang Yue's Second Visit
"Then I'll accept it," Hua Caiyan said. "Thank you."
Yun Chu'an put on a stern face, feigning displeasure: "Just a thank you?"
Hua Caiyan tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek: "Is this enough?"
Yun Chu'an still had a stern face: "Just one kiss?"
Hua Caiyan immediately jumped into his arms, wrapped her legs around his waist, pouted, and gave him three quick kisses on the cheek like a chick pecking at rice: "Is that enough?"
Yun Chu'an smiled, hugged her, and kissed her on the lips: "That's enough."
Hua Caiyan laughed and hugged his neck, kissing him repeatedly. Unfortunately, just then, hurried footsteps outside interrupted their intimacy: "Master, that Dongfang Yue is here again!"
The two people who were about to get intimate in the courtyard had to stop abruptly. Yun Chu'an walked out of the courtyard with displeasure on his face and saw a wolf demon kneeling on one knee.
He had no time to complain; his expression was grave, as if facing a formidable enemy: "Is she the only one?"
The wolf demon said, "It's just her."
Yun Chu'an and Hua Caiyan exchanged a glance, both of them wondering what this Qingyun Sect member was up to.
During this time, he stayed at home and stayed indoors to avoid trouble.
Even though he has accumulated another batch of goods, he doesn't plan to go to Weihu Market anytime soon.
His disguise and the information he had about the Huang Mang family were enough to deceive most people openly, allowing the officials to close the case and stop pursuing it, without suspecting him.
However, the truth could not be hidden from the Gongsun family.
They would definitely trace it back to him and would definitely be determined to take action against him. Going to Weihu Market at this point would be suicide, so he had no intention of making money anymore. Instead, he hid in his courtyard to cultivate and prepare for possible assassination attempts in the future.
Today was just like that for him, but he didn't expect that the first to arrive would not be the assassins from the Gongsun family, but rather the junior sister of the Qingyun Sect, Dongfang Yue, who had always been suspicious of him.
What is she here for?
Yun Chu'an wasn't sure, but he guessed it was definitely not good news, and they had to be careful.
"Let's go," he said. "Let's go meet her!"
Fortunately, Qi Qiao isn't here at all, so he can entertain her without any problem.
……
Halfway up the mountain.
Dongfang Yue, dressed in a neat black and white sword outfit, with her hair tied up, a sword at her waist, and cloth shoes on her feet, walked up the mountain and arrived at the entrance of the town where Yun Chuan lived.
Today, the rooms that once collapsed have all been rebuilt. Although there are still not many people around, the overall place is quite beautiful.
She came to find Yun Chu'an, but she wasn't in a hurry to find him. She just looked around and nodded slightly, as if she approved, or as if the perfect arrangement was exactly as she had imagined.
As she was walking, two figures approached from a distance, one after the other, hurrying over. They were none other than Yun Chu'an and Hua Caiyan: "Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Dongfang."
