Xie Daoyunâs face was bright red. She snuck a look at Pei Mianman and Yun Jianyue before saying quietly, âThatâs not too good, ris itâ¦â
âWhatâs not good about it?â Zu An asked in confusion. âThe situation is too urgent, and we can't waste any time. Donât sleep tonight.â
When she saw that his expression was completely clear, Xie Daoyun knew she was overthinking things. She quickly replied, âOkay.â
The others all had grins on their faces. All of their thoughts had gone in the wrong direction.
Pei Mianman felt a bit sorry for Zu An. âAh Zu, you havenât gotten any sleep as of late. Wonât there be problems if this continues?â
Even though high-level cultivators would still be fine if they didnât sleep, their condition still wouldnât be as good as if they got proper rest.
Zu An chuckled and said, âI slept a bit on the way back from the medicine field. Itâs fine.â
He couldn't help but give Jiang Luofu a look.
That feeling was really awesomeâ¦
Jiang Luofuâs face became a bit red.
What is this kid looking at my thighs for?
Pei Mianman knew he probably couldn't afford to rest. She sighed inwardly and didnât continue trying to persuade him.
They women all returned to their own rooms to cultivate, research medicine, or do some other things. Meanwhile, Zu An took Xie Daoyun to his own room.
When she heard him close the door behind them, Xie Daoyun was a bit surprised. Even though she knew big brother Zu didnât have any other intentions and that she was here to learn the Secrets of Spatial Distortion, being alone with a man still made her really nervous. It wasnât because she was worried that he would do anything improper, but rather that she felt an indescribable sense of shyness and even expectation.
Even though he had already been here for a few days, this was the first time Zu An had been inside Donaireâs own room. He wanted to find a desk for Xie Daoyun to sit down at so he could teach her properly, but there was nothing of the sort in the room.
There was only a bed; it was extremely large, taking up more than half of the entire room by itself. More importantly, it was surrounded by pink curtains. There was a faint, sweet fragrance coming out of them that added a kind of ambiguous atmosphere.
When she saw that, Xie Daoyunâs face became entirely red. The usually calm and collected Zu An also became a bit embarrassed.
âAbout that⦠I didnât know that there would only be a bed in here. How about we go outside again?â Zu An suggested. He really felt as if he had committed social suicide. No wonder the women had all had strange expressions when he suggested for her to come to his room. So they all knew what the rooms were like!
This Donaire really was a famous playboy. Just what the heck was he doing everyday?
This bed is so big that all of the women he came here with would have room to sleep together!
When she saw this rare instance of Zu An being left at a loss, the nervous Xie Daoyun giggled. âThereâs no need for that. Learning this kind of high-level knowledge requires a clear mind. The worst thing is being disturbed by others, so itâll be better if our surroundings are a bit quieter.â
She felt it would be really hard for her to calm down outside where those sisters could come out at any time to take a look.
Zu An didnât bother trying to persuade her and said, âThen letâs go to the bed.â
They could only sit on the bed. There was nowhere else to go.
When she heard those words, Xie Daoyun was alarmed. As a young lady, she felt really shy, but also a bit happy. She even recalled what her little brother had told her. She was a bit hesitant.
Should I be a bit more proactive later when we're on the bed togetherâ¦
Ah! No way, no way, thatâs way too embarrassing!
Maybe if big brother Zu does something, I⦠Iâll just silently allow it.
âHurry over here. This Donaire really knows how to enjoy himself. This bed was designed to be quite comfortable.â Zu An had to admit that Donaire knew how to have fun. This bed had many small formation mechanisms within. Some parts could be moved up to make it a couch, and there were even massage functions. It was just like the clubhouses of his previous world.
When she heard him, Xie Daoyun took off her shoes in embarrassment. She carefully sat at the end of the bed and did her best to hide her feet in her dress. For a carefully-raised daughter of a great clan like her, taking off her shoes in front of a man was about the same as taking off her clothes.
But big brother Zu is normally quite open-minded, so he probably doesnât know about these thingsâ¦
When he saw how ill at ease she was, Zu An couldn't help but smile. He waved toward her. âCome a bit closer. Why are you sitting so far away?â
Xie Daoyun bit her lip. In the end, she carefully nudged her way over.
âThis bed seems to have a massage function. This Donaire was a formation genius, but most of it seemed to be used for his own pleasure,â Zu An said as he helped her raise a portion for her to lean against. He also began to explain the function of these formations. âEveryone has been tired as of late. This is a great chance to use a treatment formation while researching the Secrets of Spatial Distortion.â
Xie Daoyun nodded slightly. She was also a bit curious about these formations now. She figured she could make similar things once she completely learned them.
âHm? What is this formation?â She saw a strange formation knob and was a bit confused. With her knowledge of formations, she actually couldn't figure out what it was. Out of curiosity, she gently pressed it. This was Donaire's bed, anyway. There was no way he would have anything dangerous here.
But as soon as she pressed it, she suddenly felt a powerful force pushing her from behind. She cried out in surprise as she was flung out, landing straight into Zu Anâs arms. The two of them were now staring right at each other.
Zu An and Xie Daoyun were both speechless.
Xie Daoyun reflexively looked up just in time to see Zu An look down at her. Their eyes met. Xie Daoyun was so nervous that her toes were practically about to dig open a three bedroom apartment in the bed.
When she felt his sturdy chest and warm embrace, Xie Daoyunâs face immediately turned red. Her young lady instincts made her reflexively get up. âI wasnât doing it on purposeâ¦â
But just as she was halfway to her feet, she felt another pushing force sending her right back into Zu Anâs arms. Xie Daoyun was humiliated and found herself panicking. She tried several times, but that force always sent her right back. The two of them moving around intensely again and again actually made it worse.
Xie Daoyun was stunned. As she felt their bodies continue to rub against each other, her heart started beating like crazy. But right now, she felt more embarrassment than anything else. She was scared that he would think she was throwing herself at him on purpose.
When he saw that tears were about to pour out of her eyes, Zu An quickly tapped the air. That tap released a force that pressed down on the formation she'd just activated. Only then did that force pushing against her gradually stop.
Xie Daoyun finally sat up. She continued to wipe her tears alone.
âThat Donaire really is a scoundrel. Just what kind of random functions did he end up installing?â Zu An muttered; he could already tell that this was a pleasure bed.
Xie Daoyun suddenly wiped away all of her tears and took a deep breath. âBig brother Zu, why donât you start teaching me the Secrets of Spatial Distortion?â
Zu An gave her a confused look. He'd thought he would need to coax her a bit, but she had already regained composure rather quickly.
Xie Daoyun seemed to have noticed his confusion and said, âI lost my composure right now. We're currently in such a dangerous situation, so how could I waste big brother Zuâs time over such a small matter?â
Zu An was inwardly amazed.
Little sister Lingâer is good at understanding others, as expected.
He composed himself too. He took out the Secrets of Spatial Distortion and began to teach her.
At first, Xie Daoyun was a bit embarrassed, since they were so close and she could feel his masculine energy. But she was soon enamored by the contents of the jade strips. âSo that was itâ¦â
She really admired the one who had written this Secrets of Spatial Distortion. She felt even more admiration toward her big brother Zu for understanding such abstract concepts so quickly. She'd thought that she was already a genius in the field of formations, but compared to big brother Zu, she was like a fireflyâs light compared to the bright moon.
One taught earnestly, while one studied earnestly, often suggesting some constructive opinions too. The two got more and more immersed. At first, they still maintained some distance for courtesy, but eventually, their shoulders were almost touching and their bodies drew closer and closer.
At one point, when they were discussing a certain formation rune, their heads almost touched. The two suddenly noticed that and turned to look at each other. They noticed that they were really close, to the point that they could feel the other's breath.
Zu An was used to seeing beautiful women, but when he saw her pure and beautiful features, he was still left a bit absent-minded. The scholarly aura she carried was even more enchanting.
Xie Daoyunâs face became bright red from looking at Zu An so closely.When she looked at that handsome face she yearned for day and night, her little brotherâs words suddenly appeared in her mind.
Her head suddenly went blank. She bit her lip, and then felt an urge that she couldn't resist welling up within her. She moved up on her own to kiss him.
Zu Anâs eyes immediately went wide. He had never expected such a usually reserved and gentle young woman to do something so daring!
