Chapter 499: Shun Long plays the guqin

After staring at Xie Xingyi's figure that had already disappeared from the room, Liu Mei turned her gaze towards Shun Long barely a moment later before she then asked

''Long-ge, what do you think of Xingyi?

.. I am sure that Long-ge has noticed it already, but Xingyi seems to have developed feelings for you long ago. Actually, the truth is that if Long-ge really wants it, I won't be against it either. After all, I have already spent a lot of time with Xingyi and it's also obvious that she really likes Long-ge too. This is also why she joined Long-ge's faction without any hesitation. So, instead of having someone else take her away in the future... it's better if Long-ge takes her instead.''

Shun Long was caught off-guard by Liu Mei's sudden 'proposal' causing his eyes to widen in the process, but he quickly regained a calm expression barely a moment later, as he looked at Liu Mei and smiled gently before he asked

''Mei'er, isn't it normally I who should say that I am interested in a girl instead of having you do it for me? Do you really want to place another girl in our life?''

Liu Mei could feel herself blushing when she heard Shun Long's answer, as it indeed felt like she was trying to match Shun Long with Xingyi out of nowhere. However, a few moments later, the look in her eyes turned resolute as she said

''If it's someone who really cares about Long-ge then I won't mind it too much... 

But I am still selfish so I still want to be the one that Long-ge likes the most in the end!''

Shun Long nodded his head while his lips curved up into a smile as he pulled Liu Mei into a hug and carried her to the bed behind him without responding directly to her 'request'. 

Removing his outer sect robes Shun Long didn't hesitate to unrobe Liu Mei as well, allowing his eyes to feast on her flawless body once again.

The expression on Liu Mei's face that was filled with love and gentleness when she looked at him which was contrary to her usual cold and indifferent expression that she showed to outsiders, only fueled to ignite Shun Long's inner desires even further, as a feeling of lust filled his mind.

Placing himself on top of Liu Mei, Shun Long's hands moved directly towards her breasts and her 2 cherry-like nipples, fondling them and pinching them slightly, making Liu Mei let out moans of pleasure that she could no longer contain due to the intense stimulation.

At the same time, Shun Long's hands didn't stop, as his right hand moved downwards, starting to caress Liu Mei's soft body, while his fingers explored every nook and cranny of hers without restraint.

A few moments later, the room was filled with sounds of pleasure and ecstasy that lasted for more than 3 hours until they started to slowly die down.

Lying on top of the bed with his face up, Shun Long turned his head to the side, to look at Liu Mei who had half her body placed on top of him and was staring at him with a look filled with love and infatuation on her face, as he then smiled and asked gently

''Mei'er, do you want to hear a song?''

''A song... played by Long-ge?'' 

Liu Mei's eyes instantly sparkled as she remembered the wooden guqin that Shun Long had purchased from the Golden Treasures Hall.

Liu Mei had thought that Shun Long had only purchased it because it was a treasure, and she didn't think that he would try to play the instrument by himself.

After all, in the past 4 years, he had never shown an interest in any musical instrument.

Nodding his head, Shun Long put on his outer sect robes before he sat on his white cushion in front of the bed and faced Liu Mei before he waved his right hand.  A wooden, silver-colored musical instrument with 7 strings immediately appeared in front of him, bringing along with it a scent of vitality that quickly filled the room.

Closing his eyes, Shun Long's attention was placed completely on the 'Silverbark guqin' in front of him, as his hands lightly touched the strings on the guqin's surface.

No sound was produced when his fingers touched each of the icy strings created from the silk of a 'Frigid ice spider', but the coldness of the strings produced a refreshing feeling that made Shun Long feel as if his mind had taken a dive inside a refreshing pool filled with cold water, instantly calming it down.

With his eyes still closed, Shun Long touched the first string of the guqin before he plucked it gently

Ping~

A beautiful sound instantly echoed throughout the room, making Liu Mei's heart involuntarily tremble when she heard it. 

It was only a single pluck of a string, and yet the note that it produced seemed to have been something that had already transcended this world!

This was unlike anything else that Liu Mei had ever heard in her life.

At that moment, as Shun Long held the guqin in front of him, Liu Mei felt that Shun Long's aura had suddenly changed.

Peng~ 

Another sound followed soon after, as Shun Long's fingers started to become more accustomed to the wooden guqin.

In the beginning, the movements of his hands were still somewhat stiff, creating a weird image of someone who was touching the guqin 'for the first time', and yet was still producing flawless notes that had already exceeded Liu Mei's wildest imagination.

However, as his fingers kept plucking the strings, Shun Long no longer had to think as he played, and instead he allowed his memories and the feelings inside him to all burst out at once, as his hands consecutively plucked the guqin's strings.

At that moment, Liu Mei could suddenly feel herself plunging in a dream as an intense and almost irresistible feeling of tranquility filled her mind. The existence of everything else around her seemed to have slowly disappeared, as Liu Mei felt that the only 2 people left inside the entire Holy sect was herself and Shun Long who was playing the guqin in front of her with his eyes closed.

Without even trying to resist this feeling, Liu Mei allowed herself to fall into slumber while her eyes started to involuntarily tear up at the same time.
