Chapter 44.3

A steady stream of spirit qi poured in where their skins touched, and Ji Qingzhou felt her meridians swell. The spirit qi was transforming her meridians.

Her consciousness drifted off and soon entered the cultivation space, where there was still a surging red vital energy like a sea of ​​blood.

Ji Qingzhou found it hard to adapt to this color, so she quickly cut off her vision. At this time, the red vital energy belonging to Shen Rongyu also swept down on her.

He moved speedily, and the rushing qi swirled upward, wrapped around her limbs, and dragged her into the boundless sea of blood.

Ji Qingzhou sank down. In the darkness, she had nothing to rely on, so she could only grab the qi in front of her and cling tightly.

Again, that swimming snake-like touch attacked her. Red qi writhed up and climbed over the delicate bones of her chest and slowly up along her neck.

Ji Qingzhou frowned. She pursed her lips tightly, but the red qi quickly morphed into a pair of spectral lips.

Naturally, his movements were not as gentle as Shen Rongyu on the outside. A light tremor came from his hands when he pressed her lips, and his fingertips pressing her soft lips only let them sink a bit.

However, the red qi lips almost gnawed on her lips. This kiss was fierce and inexperienced. What was he supposed to teach her? He himself had no experience.

He took her lips, nibbling them delicately, but his lips and tongue entwined hers arrogantly. The extremities of the red qi brushed against her sensitive palate over and over again.

Ji Qingzhou was tickled. She slightly parted her lips but didn’t know what to do next. The red qi belonging to Shen Rongyu, on the other hand, continued to stir the tip of her tongue, causing tingling sensations all over her.

In the end, Ji Qingzhou reacted almost subconsciously. She pressed the tip of her tongue against the red qi and exerted some strength. She couldn’t ignore this feeling, so she could only push him gently to express her rejection.

However, it was more like a response. The red lips swept over the edge of her lips and stopped moving. Then they remained motionless for a time.

Shen Rongyu really annoyed Ji Qingzhou this time… How could he do this?

She had to admit that with her emotions stirred up, she wanted him to continue, but then he stopped.

Her fingers caressed the qi in front of her, and she patted it lightly, like when she was coaxing You You.

If the red qi current earlier was like a tide that swooped down and submerged her, then now it was like a big blissful dog, pouncing on her and clinging to her tightly.

Nonetheless, he still didn’t continue kissing her. He just pecked her lips and slowly gasped for breath. A virtual red mist steamed out, and the hot air blew towards her.

He clearly wanted to continue, but he held back abruptly, just waiting for Ji Qingzhou.

Ji Qingzhou reluctantly responded. She opened her lips, and took a bite of the red steam. The fine steam separated, seeped into her mouth and stroked deeper and deeper.

The tip of her tongue was entangled in the red qi, and he guided her to respond to his passionate kiss. Ji Qingzhou’s hands trembled and clumsily climbed up the red qi in front of her. Soon, she also wound around him.

Ji Qingzhou wondered whether Shen Rongyu inwardly also wanted to do something like this when the leaf fell on his shoulder.

But…But…

What was he teaching her now?

She didn’t want to know the answer to that. She just wanted to know why he blushed.

Was that something she could learn too?

However, he didn’t seem adept at it himself.

Ji Qingzhou’s thoughts were in shambles. Distracting thoughts flashed through her mind, so naturally she was absent-minded. The red qi seemingly sensed this, and so he charged and wrapped Ji Qingzhou all over, airtight. Countless bifurcated streams of qi flowed around her, surging and moshing, giving prominence to his existence.

There was no way she could ignore him anymore. She was forced to respond to him clumsily, and her reaction seemed to make Shen Rongyu’s red qi very happy. He wound around her excitedly with much more intensity.

Ji Qingzhou turned her head sideways, closed her eyes, and sank into the red sea again. Still she… did learn some… useless knowledge.

She realized that she shouldn’t have said that in the first place. This villain was utterly odious.

After cultivating for an unknown amount of time, Ji Qingzhou felt that her whole body had melted and merged with the ocean made of the red qi.

While she was in a state of confusion, she heard the red qi rolling around her ears, making a deep sound.

It was no longer a meaningless gasp accompanied by what seemed like suppressed tremor. This time, he emitted a clear syllable that came out together in succession, tangled in a sultry texture.

“Zhouzhou.” The red qi called her in a low voice.

In the cultivation space, he, who was originally a mass of chaos and a transformed pair of lips not only kissed her, but also called her name.

“Zhouzhou,” he called out once more. His fiery breath hit her ear.

He bit the tip of her ear, and called again, “Zhouzhou.”

“En,” Ji Qingzhou answered him.

However, he only had a mouth and no ears. He just called her over and over again, “Zhouzhou.”

He was waiting for her response, but he couldn’t hear her and could only repeat the only syllables he could make.

“Zhouzhou.”

“Zhouzhou…”

“Zhou—Zhou—”

Ji Qingzhou’s nose suddenly turned sore. She lowered her head, followed his voice in the darkness, and found his lips.

She gently kissed his lips, swallowing the repeated mechanical calls. In the space of divine consciousness, she took the initiative to kiss him for the first time.

The red qi tightly covered her and hid her in the deepest part of the sea of blood. As she sank downward, their lips locked.

Time passed unknowingly. When the crescent moon was hanging up the treetops and the feathery moonlight sprinkled down, Ji Qingzhou woke up in Shen Rongyu’s arms. She was lying in his embrace with sweat soaking her hair at her temples — It was autumn, so it was a wonder where the heat came from.
