"A pair of parents who favor sons over daughters. There's nothing much to say about them," Shen Qing said, skirting around the main issue. She was reluctant to bring it up.
Seeing this, Li Xian didn't press further. After all, he brought up Shen Qing's parents just to gauge her attitude. It would be a pity if their relationship didn't receive the support of their parents. But since Shen Qing was so resistant, he understood that getting their parents' blessings wasn't that important.
"It seems we both have the same kind of pain. We're quite a match," Li Xian joked, a faint smile on his face.
Shen Qing simply turned over on her side, propping her head up with her hand, and stared intently at Li Xian. "Our entanglement like this doesn't seem like what cultivators should do."
"My parents are outside Kunlun Mountain, so that belongs to the past. But your mother is right here. I'm even afraid of having a mean mother - in - law."
Li Xian burst out laughing. When Shen Qing said the words "mean mother - in - law" aggrievedly, Li Xian's first thought was of Shen Qing standing in front of him, pointing at Xu Yanxi and scolding. She didn't seem like someone who would be afraid of a mean mother - in - law at all.
Shen Qing widened her eyes, as if she could read the teasing in Li Xian's eyes. She immediately reached out to attack Li Xian's weakest spot, which was the soft flesh on his waist.
Once, by accident, Shen Qing poked the soft flesh on Li Xian's waist. As a result, Li Xian jumped far away and warily covered his waist. Later, Xiao Jinglan explained that Li Xian was most afraid of being tickled, and that soft flesh on his waist was his weak point.
Although Shen Qing had to admit that Li Xian had a well - built body, only that part was always soft and easy to poke.
Li Xian kept struggling to avoid Shen Qing's mischievous hand. Shen Qing simply lifted her long legs and straddled Li Xian.
She firmly grabbed Li Xian's two wrists with one hand and pinned them above his head. Then she used the other hand to keep poking the flesh on his waist.
Li Xian couldn't help laughing, with tears welling up in his eyes. But he was afraid that if he struggled too hard, he might hurt Shen Qing. And they were still on the roof. If they fell, although they wouldn't get seriously injured, it would still hurt.
So Li Xian kept begging for mercy. "I was wrong. I was wrong. Fairy, spare my life. I won't make fun of you anymore." And he hadn't even said the teasing words out loud yet...
How could Shen Qing let go of this moment when Li Xian showed weakness? She didn't stop her hand. "I knew from your eyes that you wanted to say I was shrewd, right?"
"Have you ever seen a shrew as good - looking as me?"
Li Xian couldn't stand it anymore. He quickly broke free from Shen Qing's hand and tightly grabbed her mischievous hand. He said with a smile, "Yes, it's my fault. Qingqing, don't be angry."
Shen Qing was stunned by Li Xian's "Qingqing". Her movements paused.
"What... did you call me?" A blush spread across Shen Qing's face. It was hot, and she felt all the blood rushing to her face.
Li Xian blinked his eyes. With a sudden force of his hands, he pulled Shen Qing down. Shen Qing was caught off guard and directly fell onto Li Xian's chest.
Listening to Li Xian's strong heartbeat, Shen Qing felt like she could hardly breathe.
She struggled to raise her head and met Li Xian's bright eyes.
"I called you... Qingqing..." Li Xian clearly uttered these two words. His voice was deep and a bit hoarse, but Shen Qing could hear the lingering tenderness in it.
"Li Xian..."
Li Xian let go of Shen Qing's hands but raised his hand to caress her cheek.
He gently rubbed Shen Qing's face with his warm fingertips, then moved from her face to her eyes, nose, and finally to her lips.
Shen Qing felt that Li Xian's hand seemed to have some kind of magic. Every place he touched was numb, as if being electrocuted.
The night was gentle. Even the night wind was reluctant to disturb them.
The moonlight shone on them and was reflected on the ground. Their overlapping shadows were hazy and dreamy.
"Li Xian, your heart is beating too fast. It's so noisy," Shen Qing said blankly, not knowing what else to say.
Li Xian laughed, and the tenderness in his eyes deepened. "Listen carefully... whose heartbeat is it?"
Lying on Li Xian's body, Shen Qing could clearly feel his chest trembling as he laughed. And the chaotic heartbeat in her ear was her own.
Shen Qing felt like she was about to suffocate. She couldn't stand this atmosphere. She wanted to get up from Li Xian's body, but Li Xian pressed her down again.
Shen Qing didn't understand. She could even lift a hundred - jin boulder, but now she felt as weak as if she had no strength in her body.
Shen Qing gasped slightly. She didn't dare to look directly at Li Xian. Then she whispered, "Stop fooling around. It's time for us to go down."
Looking at Shen Qing like this, Li Xian felt that her shy and half - refusing appearance was full of fatal temptation.
Darkness churned in his eyes. He wanted more but was afraid of being too abrupt with Shen Qing, so he had to desperately restrain himself.
Seeing that Li Xian wouldn't let go, Shen Qing struggled with some strength. The distance between them was extremely close. Li Xian felt his sensitive parts being constantly touched.
To avoid doing something even more excessive, Li Xian had to forcefully turn over and pin the restless Shen Qing under him.
After the dizziness, Shen Qing and Li Xian's positions were reversed.
Shen Qing stared at him in shock with wide - open eyes, like an innocent little spirit beast. This expression greatly pleased Li Xian.
Li Xian restrained his desire and cursed himself for being so weak - willed.
"Li Xian, what are you doing..."
"Don't talk!"
As soon as Li Xian opened his mouth, both of them were stunned. The lust in his voice made it extremely hoarse.
Shen Qing realized it later. She propped her hands on Li Xian's chest.
Suddenly touched, Li Xian felt as if a string in his mind had snapped. His body reacted faster than his mind. He leaned down.
Shen Qing was scared and slightly turned her head. The next second, she felt a pain in her earlobe, along with a wet feeling.
It wasn't until Li Xian quickly pulled away and jumped off the roof that Shen Qing slowly came to her senses.
Was she... bitten by Li Xian?
Shen Qing absent - mindedly reached out and touched her earlobe, then placed her hand on her heart.
"Li Xian, you fool..."
This sentence was spoken very softly and slowly dissipated in the wind with the breeze. The cold wind blew, which also made Shen Qing's muddled mind recover a little.
In the woods outside Qingqing's courtyard, two people were standing in the shadows.
Banfenghe tightly twisted her handkerchief in her hand, taking in every move of the two people on the roof just now.
The Green - Azure Sect Master looked at Banfenghe's almost insanely jealous expression with satisfaction. Her voice was slightly seductive. "Look, I've told you that if you're so reserved, no man will like you."
"Men like those women who fight and scramble. You really should learn from Shen Qing's methods..."
