CHAPTER 471: CHAPTER 408: THE VIRTUOUS SCHOLAR UNDER THE MOON

The precious coolness that had just been gained after bathing was completely dispelled by a sudden heat.

Shang Ruyi only felt as if her whole body was ignited by flames. The fire not only burned her skin inch by inch along Yu Wenye’s breath, his hand, his body, but as the clothes were loosened and skin exposed, it gradually seeped into her body, as if to burn inside her.

Clearly, she was the one who initiated it, who provoked this fire, yet now she was the one who regretted it the most.

Feeling Yu Wenye’s hands ravaging her continuously, she even heard a ripping sound, and a chill ran over her as her fair and slender legs fell into his grasp, her whole body presenting a posture for him to take and demand.

"No, no—"

Instinctively, Shang Ruyi wanted to refuse, but the words she spoke were already faltering.

Yu Wenye continued to kiss her forcefully, as if he wanted to suck her soul out, and before long, Shang Ruyi’s lips were swollen and she had no strength left to resist, instead even beginning to respond in a daze.

As the two tangled, Yu Wenye’s broad back suddenly hit the dressing table beside them, and the copper mirror fell.

It happened to fall beside them, reflecting this moment.

Shang Ruyi turned her head and saw herself in the mirror, half-exposed, clothes in disarray, disheveled under his grasp. Her body was marked everywhere with his careless imprints and pink marks.

Her face turned completely red.

She finally mustered a bit of strength and gently bit his domineering lips.

"Hmm?"

Yu Wenye frowned and instinctively released her, raising himself slightly, only to see Shang Ruyi with a flushed face, unable to restrain her shame as she raised her hand to cover her eyes.

Yu Wenye, bitten by her, felt a slight annoyance, but seeing her like this, he couldn’t help but feel a warmth in his lower abdomen.

He lowered himself again, pressing his lips to her exposed collarbone.

Then slowly moved downward.

This time, Shang Ruyi finally, suppressing her shame, softly said, "No!"

Yu Wenye slightly raised an eyebrow, not angry, just moved his face to her burning ear, blew gently, and asked, "Why not?"

"..."

"Wasn’t it you who—"

Before he could finish, the hand covering her eyes immediately lifted to cover his mouth.

Seeing her so embarrassed that even her white skin began to turn red, even with his mouth covered, the fiery emotion still flowed from his bent eyes, almost reigniting Shang Ruyi’s skin.

In her panic, she could only blurt out, "I’ve already bathed, you haven’t yet!"

Yu Wenye was stunned, looking down at her, "You think I smell?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi hesitated for a moment.

Actually, he didn’t smell at all. Although he’d been running around all day and had sweat a little, right now, that faint scent of sweat only heightened the almost trigger-ready emotions between them.

But now, in order to push him away, she could only brace herself to admit it.

Shang Ruyi nodded forcefully, "Yes!"

Yu Wenye slightly raised an eyebrow and propped himself up a bit, looking down at her.

The two heated bodies immediately separated, and a coolness washed over her. Though it was a bit more comfortable, an indescribable, faint sense of loss welled up inside, but Shang Ruyi still breathed a sigh of relief.

Yet just as she let out that breath, a sly glint flashed in Yu Wenye’s eyes, and he suddenly lowered himself again, firmly saying, "Even if I smell, you have to bear it!"

With those words, he captured her lips once more in a deep kiss.

Shang Ruyi was kissed to near suffocation, her mind a blank slate, letting him take her breath away, only to return it, as if her whole being lived and died with his breath.

At that moment, footsteps were heard from afar.

As the footsteps came closer, Shang Ruyi’s heart almost leapt from her throat, using every last ounce of strength to squeeze Yu Wenye’s shoulder, hoarsely saying, "Someone’s coming."

Finally, the domineering man stopped his advances.

Though by now, Shang Ruyi had been thoroughly ravished into a pliable mess, her body soft, her cheeks flushed, Yu Wenye, breathless, looked down at her slightly swollen, glistening lips and eyes misted with tears, and despite himself, his lips curled into a smile.

At the same time, he slowly came to his senses.

He realized that he might have been too impulsive just now.

Though many events happened today at Dayan Temple, in reality, all of it was just the prelude. The real matter of importance had yet to officially begin, and yet it was already looming on the horizon.
