Free Web NovelChapter 365: Chapter 298: Counterattack
Upon realizing that his teammates were young girls, and not just any girls, but super invincible youthful beauties, Yan Qing naturally made the mistake every man in the world could make: imagining them as his wife.
But it’s just a thought; Yan Qing has never worked towards it. Firstly, he’s not a GALGAME god; secondly, he believes that office romance is a taboo.
After three missions together, the four people of the Thief’s House have become teammates that can entrust life and death to each other. The atmosphere is great; they can play around, discuss, and joke. Yan Qing likes this gentle and stable relationship.
So it’s not just Shang Xinlei and Pharmacist’s Wish; in the future as long as there are extra resources, he will also help White Fox with Foundation Establishment. They are all teammates recognized by Yan Qing, and he hopes to go higher and further with them.
Being fed by Shang Xinlei every day, being with her makes him happy. Even when idle, he thinks of her; seeing her unhappy makes him tense... Yan Qing says he isn’t moved, but even his mind can’t fool itself. He’s already dreamt of Shang Xinlei several times, thanks to his vast virtual database. Both serious and not so serious dreams. But whether ’she likes me’ is just his illusion or not, even if the Goddess is interested, Yan Qing hesitates to act now.
Everything is prioritized for the unity of the Thief’s House. Anything that doesn’t benefit unity shouldn’t be done.
Not at the Foundation Establishment Stage, or even after ascension, the Thief’s House will still be Yan Qing’s first choice for a safe house. No matter how much of a calamity Yan Qing faces outside, the Thief’s House must be treated cautiously.
However, Yan Qing is not someone with a heart sealed in cement in pursuit of eternal life; he’s just waiting for their relationship of four to stabilize to the point where becoming Dao companions with anyone won’t shake the foundation of the Thief’s House. As for what counts as stable enough, Yan Qing doesn’t have specific standards, only a vague idea.
At least Pharmacist’s Wish and Shang Xinlei should be as close as sisters, right? For example, next time Shang Xinlei shouldn’t get upset seeing me hug Pharmacist’s Wish, and Pharmacist’s Wish shouldn’t raise an eyebrow when she sees Shang Xinlei clinging to me. Only then is it stable.
Therefore, Yan Qing absolutely doesn’t dare to let Shang Xinlei go with him to the Demon Gathering Land.
Five days and four nights in total, just thinking about it gets Yan Qing’s blood boiling. How could he trust his willpower? At that point, they might even start discussing the names of twins. But this reason is too ridiculous; Yan Qing wouldn’t say it out loud, and he doesn’t want to lie to Shang Xinlei, so he can only stubbornly refuse.
Yet he accidentally let it slip, losing face entirely.
"Let me go," Shang Xinlei said playfully with a smile.
"No means no, even if you press me down, it won’t help." Yan Qing said nonchalantly, "Say whatever you want, if I respond, I lose."
Yan Qing was true to his word, he really didn’t struggle and lay on the ground. After all, Shang Xinlei would let go of him eventually, so why fight a ground battle with her? Better to engage his body’s nerves to savor the feeling of being pinned by Shang Xinlei.
At that moment, warm breath brushed against Yan Qing’s earlobe, and a tender, delicate voice whispered in his ear, "Let me go~ Isn’t it nice to have such a beautiful girl by your side?"
Yan Qing shivered, feeling as though his bones had turned to jelly. This kitchen maid was usually boisterous; how come she was so coy when acting spoiled? Yet this only solidified Yan Qing’s resolve—not to bring Shang Xinlei into the Demon Gathering Land; he feared he wouldn’t be interested in experiencing its special mechanics.
Concerning the Foundation Establishment Pill, beauty can’t be allowed to sway judgment!
Not listening, not listening, king of fools chanting sutras! Yan Qing closed his eyes, letting Shang Xinlei’s antics continue, but there’s no denying that listening to the kitchen maid’s sweet voice in his ear was like a true man’s ASMR, heh heh heh.
Xiang Xinlei, after urging for some time and seeing Yan Qing show no response, instead revealing an expression of enjoyment, felt both embarrassed and amused. Her eyes rolled as she hit upon a clever idea, softly saying, "If you don’t agree, I’ll bite you, okay? I’m really going to bite, ah—"
Shang Xinlei lightly parted her red lips, and like a little snake, gently bit Yan Qing’s earlobe.
Yan Qing shuddered all over, nearly tossing Shang Xinlei off from his back. Luckily Shang Xinlei reacted quickly and pressed him back down, continuing to nibble on his earlobe. But Yan Qing’s reaction was intense, like a salted fish flipping over, engaging Shang Xinlei once more in a ground battle!
"Stop it!"
"If you don’t agree with me, I’ll keep messing with you!"
Shang Xinlei’s heart soared. She hadn’t expected that this bandage freak, looking all dog-like, actually had such an obvious weakness on his earlobe! She resolutely seized the advantage, each time succeeding in restraining him and holding his earlobe with her lips, or if the distance was too short, she would lick it, watching Yan Qing struggle like a pig at the slaughter, banishing all her previous frustration, eyes curved in delighted glee.
Make you not agree with me!
Make you not confess honestly!
Make you irresistible!
Upon realizing that Yan Qing wasn’t motivated by other reasons but that he rejected her because she was too beautiful and attractive, Shang Xinlei didn’t feel angry anymore. She felt refreshed, like drinking chilled white porcelain sour plum soup on a sweltering summer day. The ice clinking against the porcelain with a clear sound. She didn’t actually want to go, given how seriously Yan Qing worried she might not be able to resist, even she felt shy.
But now Yan Qing was too entertaining, Shang Xinlei’s penchant for teasing was ignited by his reactions; she couldn’t restrain the desire to torment him. freēwebnovel.com
"Shang! Xin! Lei!" Yan Qing growled under his breath, like a beast constrained with a bellyful of anger, "I’m really mad! Let me go!"
"So what? What can you do? Hit me, big perv~" Shang Xinlei completely let go of herself, taunting him smugly, "You bandage freak, should endure the Female Knight’s punishment!" With that, she leaned down again and gently nipped his earlobe.
Boom!
Suddenly, a storm erupted from Yan Qing’s body, sending Shang Xinlei flying onto the bed. Shang Xinlei stared dumbfounded at the Bingzi Pepper Forest that flashed in Yan Qing’s hands. She couldn’t fathom what just occurred, feeling for the first time an overwhelming emotion—wasn’t this just playful teasing, and you actually pulled out a Legendary Token? With Heaven-Covering? Such fierce competitiveness?
Yet seeing Yan Qing’s eyes red with anger, she trembled, shrinking back instinctively. She finally understood that his earlobe was indeed a weakness, but not the kind she’d imagined. It was a different kind that could drive a man to frenzy.
Shang Xinlei sensed trouble and stammered, "I, I was just joking—"
"I’m joking too!"
Yan Qing lunged, grabbing Shang Xinlei’s legs, dragging her roughly in front of him. Shang Xinlei clutched at the sheets in fright, but against the enormous strength of the Third-Turn Messenger, mere sheets were futile. She realized escape was impossible, and struggled to flee, only to be pinned back by Yan Qing with her hands behind her back, the brute force over 50 Qi Blood points didn’t need skill to subdue her.
Feeling the warm breath approaching from behind, Shang Xinlei was covered in goosebumps, not from fear but from a thrill.
"Yellow Dog, Brother Dog, Big Dog, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me this time, I promise it’s the last time...ah!"
With a crisp sound, Shang Xinlei’s body tensed immediately, her mind went blank, a powerful shiver spread from August fifteenth throughout her body.
"No... I’m scared now... you big perv, stop hitting! I’m apologizing, isn’t that enough... boo boo... bandage freak! Big lewd thief!"
