Chapter 98: Senior Sister, I Want to Sleep Holding the “Medicinal Catalyst”!

The night on Qinghui Peak was exceptionally quiet.

Inside the room, the night-luminescent pearl embedded in the ceiling was covered with a black cloth by Jiang Wanqing, leaving only a faint, hazy glimmer.

Gu Lan had already unceremoniously lain down on the inner side of the bed, pulling the blanket up to his chin.

Only his bright, sparkling eyes were exposed, looking like a fox that had gotten a bargain but was still acting innocent.

"Senior Sister, this bed is really soft."

He rubbed his head against the pillow and took a deep breath.

"And it's completely filled with Senior Sister's scent. It's so comforting to smell."

Jiang Wanqing, who was taking off her outer robe by the bed, trembled, almost tying her sash into a dead knot.

With her back turned to Gu Lan, she used the moonlight.

One could see that the back of her ears, which were originally fair, had turned so red they looked ready to bleed.

"Shut up and sleep."

She scolded him, forcing herself to sound calm.

She neatly folded her discarded Daoist robe and placed it at the head of the bed.

At this moment, she was wearing only a thin white inner garment.

The silk fabric clung to her body.

Under the dim light, it outlined the graceful, undulating curves of her back.

Beneath her slender waist, which could be clasped in one hand, was a round and pert curve.

Further down was a pair of beautiful legs whose long, straight contours could be discerned even when hidden inside her trouser legs.

Gu Lan's eyes went wide and his throat went dry.

"Senior Sister…"

"What is it?"

Jiang Wanqing turned around, covering her chest with her hands, looking at him warily.

"You… you move further in."

Gu Lan patted the empty space beside him. "The bed is so big, why are you sleeping so far away? Are you afraid I'll eat you?"

"I'm not afraid of you eating me, I'm afraid of you… misbehaving."

Jiang Wanqing bit her lip, hesitated for a long while, and then carefully sat down on the edge of the bed.

She tried her best to lie down as close to the edge of the bed as possible.

There was a gap between them wide enough for an entire person to lie down.

"Alright, sleep now."

She pulled a corner of the blanket over herself, turning her back to Gu Lan, her body tensed up tightly.

Silence fell over the room.

Only the slightly rapid breathing of the two could be heard.

After a long while.

"Sigh…"

A long sigh suddenly came from behind her.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Wanqing's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Cold."

Gu Lan's voice sounded pitiful.

"Senior Sister, although I applied medicine to my wound, it still hurts like it's burning."

"And this Qinghui Peak has heavy Yin Qi. Sleeping inside by myself makes my spine feel cold…"

"Nonsense! You have a Pure Yang Body, how could you be afraid of the cold?"

"That's under normal circumstances! I'm a patient now! An injured person!"

Gu Lan acted shamelessly with full confidence. "I'm very weak right now and urgently need some Yang Qi… oh no, warmth to replenish myself."

As he spoke, he lifted a corner of the blanket, making a rustling sound.

"Senior Sister, do you really have the heart to watch me freeze to death in your bed?"

Jiang Wanqing: "…"

She knew clearly that he was pretending.

She knew clearly that he just wanted to take advantage of her.

But…

As soon as she thought of the shocking wound on his neck, her heart softened.

"I really can't do anything with you."

She sighed helplessly, turned around, and scooted further in.

"Is this better now?"

"Still not enough."

Gu Lan pushed his luck, reaching his arm directly under her neck and pulling her entire body over.

"Ah!"

Jiang Wanqing let out a startled cry, and before she could react, she had already crashed into a burning hot embrace.

A masculine scent instantly enveloped her.

Gu Lan's firm chest pressed tightly against her back, his strong arms wrapped around her waist, and his chin rested on the top of her head, locking her firmly in his embrace like a giant padlock.

"Now it's warm."

Gu Lan let out a satisfied sigh.

"You… let go…"

Jiang Wanqing's body felt weak, and she struggled twice half-heartedly.

"I won't."

Not only did Gu Lan not let go, but he also threw his leg over, pinning her legs down.

"Senior Sister, do you know?"

He whispered in her ear, his warm breath spraying onto her sensitive earlobe.

"To me, you are the best medicinal catalyst."

"As long as I'm holding you, I feel like all the Meridians in my body are cheering. My wound doesn't hurt anymore, and my waist isn't sore either."

"Do… do you take me for some tonic pill?" Jiang Wanqing said in embarrassed annoyance.

"Pretty much."

Gu Lan gave a wicked smile, his palm gently stroking her flat lower abdomen.

"And the most delicious, sweetest one among all tonic pills."

"Rogue…"

Jiang Wanqing scolded.

But there was not much anger in her voice; instead, it carried a hint of sweetness.

She stopped struggling and slowly relaxed her body, finding a comfortable position in his embrace.

Since she couldn't escape, then…

Just indulge.

In this cold Immortal Cave, their body heat transferred to each other, gradually merging into one.

Although Gu Lan's hands were somewhat restless, he still knew where to draw the line.

"Senior Sister."

"Hmm?"

"Once we achieve Core Formation, let's become true Dao Companions."

In the darkness, Gu Lan's voice suddenly became serious.

Jiang Wanqing's body trembled, and she remained silent for a long time.

"Why… do we have to wait until Core Formation?"

"Because…"

Gu Lan chuckled softly and kissed her hair.

"Because I don't want people to say that the Eldest Senior Sister of the Qingyun Sect married a gigolo who only knows how to live off a woman."

"I want to stand by your side openly and honorably, and make everyone shut up."

"Silly…"

Jiang Wanqing turned around and, by the faint moonlight, looked at the handsome face so close to her.

She reached out, gently tracing his brows and eyes.

"I don't care what others say."

"As long as it's you, I can afford to support you even if you live off me."

Gu Lan's heart shook.

What was this?

Was this a domineering confession from a cold female CEO?

"Senior Sister, if you do this… you'll spoil me."

Gu Lan was moved to tears, and he couldn't help but lean in to kiss those tempting red lips.

"Mmh…"

It was a gentle and lingering kiss.

There was not much lust, only two hearts slowly drawing closer.

After a long time, their lips parted.

Jiang Wanqing nestled in his arms, panting slightly, her eyes dazed.

"Go to sleep!"

She shyly buried her head under the blanket.

"No more touchy-feely stuff!"

"As you command, wife."

Gu Lan smiled and held her tighter.

Outside the window, the moonlight was gentle.

Inside the room, their breathing gradually became steady and synchronized.

That night, Gu Lan slept exceptionally peacefully.

Even without any exciting scenes, just having her in his arms was the best sleeping pill in the world.

Only…

What he didn't know was…

After he fell asleep, Jiang Wanqing, who was in his arms, opened her eyes.

She looked at Gu Lan's sleeping face, her fingers gently caressing the gauze on his neck.

"Fool, do you really think I can't tell?"

"That spot… was clearly bitten by someone."

A complex look flashed in her eyes—jealousy, helplessness, but more than anything, a deep sense of possessiveness.

"No matter who left it…"

"One day, I will brand every single inch of your skin with my mark."

She leaned in and sucked hard on the edge of the gauze.

Leaving behind a new mark that belonged to her.
