"Rubbish, you threw Tie Xiaohu around like a basketball, defeated more than thirty men from Green Dragon, demolished offices and two mansions, and scolded the Public Security Bureau Director in front of a hundred police officers and their guns…"
Why would Ling Yun be afraid of being hit by a mere teacher? Kong Xiuru sat up straight, feeling the warmth from Ling Yun's masculine body.
Ling Yun was amazed that his form teacher knew so much about him. "Teacher, who did you hear all that from?" he asked.
"Is there anyone in Qingshui High that doesn't know about the mighty Ling Yun?" Kong Xiuru asked.
"I won't hit you. You can just grab my arm if I do out of habit. I-I won't blame you…"
Kong Xiuru's head sunk lower, and her voice became smaller until it was almost inaudible.
Ling Yun smiled proudly as his left arm passed through Kong Xiuru's armpits directly and pulled her into a warm embrace!
Ling Yun was indeed taking advantage of her. However, his main purpose was to treat her illness.
The process was similar to that of detoxification of a drug addict. Kong Xiuru had to pass the psychological barrier. Once she overcame that hurdle, her ailment would naturally get better with time.
"Teacher, I don't have any intention of bullying you. I'm trying to cure your illness, don't move…"
Kong Xiuru couldn't move even if she wanted to anyway. Nine golden needles appeared in his hand with a single thought. He started to deploy them on a few key acupuncture points on Kong Xiuru's head.
Ling Yun transfused Dragon Spiritual Energy into Kong Xiuru with every needle he deployed. It could calm her mind and regulate her brain and body.
Ling Yun could see from Kong Xiuru's reaction that she had suffered emotional pain in her past. That ignited the murderous intent in Ling Yun's eyes.
Kong Xiuru slept like a rock when he was done. Ling Yun then carried her graceful body gently and walked to her bedroom.
He placed her on her bed and covered her with a thin blanket so that she would keep warm.
Kong Xiuru wouldn't be awake for a while. He went to her study and found some university-level English textbooks. He started to memorize words to pass the time.
Ling Yun let Kong Xiuru sleep through the second period, retrieving the needles sometime during the third period.
Ling Yun stored the nine golden needles back into the spatial ring. He was about to leave when a beautiful hand tugged on his.
"Don't go…" Kong Xiuru was awake.
"Teacher, you should rest for a while more. I'll be on the sofa outside of your room. Call me if you need anything…"
"Don't go…" Kong Xiuru was still weak, but she refused to let go of Ling Yun's hand.
Ling Yun had no choice but to sit by the bed, smiling down at Kong Xiuru.
"Teacher, I know you must have been hurt very seriously in the past for you to be so afraid of men and avoid relationships. This is an illness. I want to treat you, but first I have to make you fall in love, and then… do the thing that adults do, only then can you be cured…"
Ling Yun was speaking a half-truth. He really wanted to touch her as well.
"Don't need to explain…" Kong Xiuru's eyes were still tightly shut, but she led Ling Yun's hand to her breasts.
Kong Xiuru's body trembled violently again, and the expression on her face was still pained. However, this time, she didn't struggle inwardly.
Ling Yun's hands were just there. He didn't move them.
"Am I a slut?" Kong Xiuru asked in a shaky voice.
"I'll cut away the tongue of the person who says that…" Ling Yun replied.
Silence…
"Weren't you very bold just now? Why are you so honest now?" Kong Xiuru asked with a hint of regret.
"It's currently daytime. I can't promise to remain this way come nightfall when I come for extra lessons." Ling Yun smirked.
Actually, Ling Yun wanted to cure her completely first, and that would take a few days.
"I'll give you a set of keys, you can come anytime you like. You can even stay overnight if you like…" Kong Xiuru suddenly covered her face, which was like a ripe red apple.
"Erm, that's probably not good, rumors might spread…"
"Do you want it or not…"
"Yes, I do!"
"Teacher, I'll go to the principal and that sh*thole of a director and get back what belonged to you…" Ling Yun said murderously.
"I forbid you to go overboard…" Kong Xiuru moved her hand away from her face and looked directly into his eyes.
Ling Yun agreed with a smile.
Kong Xiuru looked at Ling Yun for a while before she sat up suddenly. "Close your eyes…"
Ling Yun obeyed. He felt something warm touch his lips for a second.
He opened his eyes to see Kong Xiuru blushing profusely, trying to calm her breathing.
"You idiot, why are you choosing this time to be a saint? I'm dying of shame here…" Kong Xiuru grumbled.
Ling Yun wasn't trying to be a saint, but his treatment would have gone down the drain if he were to devour her now.
He was, however, interested to see how effective his treatment was. He got behind Kong Xiuru and whispered into Kong Xiuru's ears, "Teacher, would you rather I be a rogue?"
Kong Xiuru's body stiffened again, but this time, she didn't push Ling Yun away.
"You naughty fellow! Why do I have such a bad student!"
Ling Yun smiled cheekily at Kong Xiuru, making her heart skip a beat. "Teacher, do you dare say you didn't seduce me?"
"When did I seduce you, shut up!" Kong Xiuru retorted.
Ling Yun could only shrug helplessly at his unreasonable teacher.
"What time is it now?" Kong Xiuru asked.
"Third period is almost over…"
"What do you want to eat? I'll make for you," Kong Xiuru asked with anticipation.
"Erm… I have to go back home for lunch, I have something going on at noon…" Ling Yun had a person at home who couldn't move. That person must not go hungry. Ling Yun would be so heartbroken if her breasts were to shrink because she starved.
"Give me a few days of leave…" Ling Yun requested, trying his luck.
This was a matter of principle, something she couldn't let go.
"Not possible. You haven't been in class for eight whole days. Nine, including today. How are you going to pass the enrollment exams of Yanjing University at this rate?"
"It's better if I fail and repeat a year. That way, I'll be able to be with you every day instead of having a long-distance relationship…" Ling Yun knew the right things to say at the right time.
Kong Xiuru knew those were false words, but she couldn't help but be happy. "Do you really think that way?"
"Teacher, rest assured. I promised my mom and sister to get into Yanjing University. I'm confident I can get full marks for all subjects other than language," Ling Yun announced proudly.
Kong Xiuru looked up at Ling Yun with adoration. She knew that was true. "It's not that I don't want to give you leave, but…"
"But what?" Ling Yun was baffled, why couldn't she give him the leave?
"What if I can't see you when I want to…" Kong Xiuru said shyly.
Ling Yun knew that Kong Xiuru must be having the time of her life after letting loose after six whole years.
Kong Xiuru was eight years Lin Menghan's senior. These eight years would definitely not be wasted. Kong Xiuru would probably be more adaptable than Lin Menghan.
Ling Yun didn't want to tease Kong Xiuru any longer since he was pressed for time. "Teacher, you can call or text me if you miss me. I promise to come as soon as I can." Ling Yun promised directly.
"Really?" Kong Xiuru confirmed happily.
"I'll come unannounced at times as well. Didn't you say you would give me a set of keys? Where are they?" Ling Yun replied impudently.
Kong Xiuru giggled and wiggled out of Ling Yun's embrace. She took a set of keys and threw them to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun stored them directly into the spatial ring.
"What… Where did the keys go?" Kong Xiuru was stunned. "Oh, yeah! Where did you take the nine golden needles out from and where did they go?"
Ling Yun opened his left hand and out appeared that bunch of keys. Next, he made the nine golden needles appear as well. Kong Xiuru was dumbfounded.
My god! He is so much better than Liu Qian!
Ling Yun smiled, showing Kong Xiuru the ring on his left hand and explaining how it worked to her. Kong Xiuru felt nothing short of amazement!
Ling Yun would be more famous and rake in more money than Liu Qian based on his ability alone!
Of course, Ling Yun would only do it if he needed money. What he needed most currently was time.
"Close your eyes, I'll give you something good!"
Since Ling Yun told Kong Xiuru the secret of the spatial ring, he would naturally be good to her.
Kong Xiuru smiled and closed her eyes, though she secretly left a small gap and peeked. That was really cute.
"Only if you close them tight…" Ling Yun teased her.
Kong Xiuru rolled her eyes at Ling Yun before closing her eyes tightly. Ling Yun took out a Night-Luminescent Pearl and placed it into his palm.
"Alright, you can open your eyes now…"
Kong Xiuru opened her eyes and saw Ling Yun's fist in front of her.
"What on earth is it?" Kong Xiuru almost used her authoritative tone on him as her curiosity was almost bursting.
"Open my palm and see for yourself!" Ling Yun smiled.
Kong Xiuru pried open his hand, and a bright luminescence shone throughout the bedroom.
A Night-Luminescent Pearl that was as big as a longan fruit. It was crystal-clear and dazzling, and its beauty shocked Kong Xiuru!
"For you!" A beautiful pearl for a beautiful person.
Kong Xiuru was completely stunned. She stared at the Night-Luminescent Pearl in Ling Yun's hand as two streaks of tears started pouring forth from her eyes!
She held the Night-Luminescent Pearl carefully in her hand. Her breathing quickened; she was deeply moved.
"Is… is this really for me?" Kong Xiuru looked up after three whole minutes, tears in her eyes.
"Of course, keep it if you like it!" Ling Yun said.
The Night-Luminescent Pearl was worth more than a thousand words. Kong Xiuru was moved beyond words.
"B-but, don't you only have two of them left? You should keep them… keep them for betrothal…" she said after some thought.
"How did you know this?" Ling Yun was momentarily stunned.
"Idiot, everyone knows what happened in Linjiang Garden!" Kong Xiuru answered.
"Since we are in a relationship, this is my betrothal gift to you," Ling Yun said cheekily.
"Ling Yun, d-don't sprout rubbish. I'm already… already twenty-eight this year. You are only eighteen years old. We have a ten year age gap. And I… I know I'm not worthy of you at all. I'll just be a woman behind you…" Kong Xiuru said, her face as white as a sheet of paper.
Ling Yun smiled at first but immediately became serious. "Age isn't a problem. This also has nothing to do with being worthy or not. You are my woman, I forbid you to belittle yourself again. Understand?"
Kong Xiuru was insanely moved by Ling Yun's words. She put the Night-Luminescent Pearl to the side and howled hysterically as she hugged Ling Yun.
She sobered up after a while. "Ling Yun, you must be dying to have me. I'll give you every last piece of me today if you want!" Kong Xiuru put her small lips near Ling Yun's ear and suggested resolutely.
Kong Xiuru was offering herself up, but Ling Yun insisted on following his principle. He pat Kong Xiuru's back gently and refused regrettably. "It's alright, I can hold it. Let's wait until your illness is completely cured."
Of course, that made Kong Xiuru fall even further. "Ling Yun, do you think I'm coquettish?" she asked, hanging her head shyly.
"You are coquettish. The more coquettish you are in bed, the more I like it. Got it?" Ling Yun breathed into Kong Xiuru's ear.
Kong Xiuru trapped her flame of passion in an iceberg for six whole years. It had become a raging fire now that it was liberated by Ling Yun!
