Chapter 103: Was it not love?!
Zhang Fumin who was beside her frowned slightly and asked "What if Yuan stops helping you? Don\'t dream that you can make my little brother work life long..."
E-Eh? Ling Shen hurriedly shook her head "No, No... Even though, Yuan played a big part... the customers liked our cooking."
"So I can now expand the inn with the money I have right now, so even if Yuan stopped working... my inn will do good."
"And I can also add lodging facilities in the inn and make it even popular, hehe..."
Zhang Fumin nodded her head and spoke "Then I am leaving.. I need to go and prepare for the tournament, which is coming in two days."
"Oh..."
...
"Haha..."
Zhang Yuan and Ning Xia were sitting on the wooden desk in the garden while chatting and star gazing.
The gentle rustle of leaves and the soft chirping of crickets filled the air, creating a peaceful backdrop for their intimate exchange.
"Young Lord, the way that arrogant woman\'s face melted when she tried your food.. Bahahaha." Ning Xia burst out laughing, talking about the things that happened in the inn today.
Zhang Yuan has his arm wrapped around her shoulder and seeing her bright smile, Zhang Yuan\'s gaze softened.
"Ahhh... Young Lord, see see..."
Hm? Zhang Yuan raised his head slightly, his attention captured by the stunning sight above him.
He squinted into the night sky, where he spotted a magnificent shooting star with a long, radiant blue tail streaking gracefully across the darkness.
"Waaaahhh, it\'s beautiful, Young Lord..."
Looking at the excitement bubbling in Ning Xia\'s eyes, Zhang Yuan smiled gently.
"Ehhhhhhh?"
At this time, even more shooting stars began to dash across the sky, leaving Ning Xia dumbfounded and the blue color brightened her face.
"Y-Young Lord, see that... a lot of them, hahahaha..."
Looking at the enchanting face of Ning Xia, Zhang Yuan couldn\'t resist and gently grasped her chin making her look into his eyes.
"Young Lord?"
Ning Xia was confused by his sudden gesture and blinked her pretty blonde eyes.
Smiling tenderly, Zhang Yuan moved forward, closing the distance between their lips, and seeing this, Ning Xia was taken aback.
"H-Huh? Young Lor-"
*smooch*
A lingering sound was heard as Zhang Yuan gently pressed his lips against hers in a passionate kiss.
Ning Xia\'s eyes widened and her heart began to race, unexplainable feelings rushing forth in her heart.
\'Y-Young Lord... he is... \' As he delicately sucked on her lips, her eyes softened, and she gave in to the allure.
Her eyes unconsciously fluttered close and she couldn\'t resist the temptation of his soft lips sucking on her lips.
"Young Lord..."
She breathed under her lips as he slowly took sips of her juicy lips and Ning Xia who was feeling the kiss for the first time, was very much thrilled.
Each soft kiss sent a shiver of warmth through her, overwhelming her senses and making it impossible for her to pull away.
Inadvertently, she raised her hands, placing them on his shoulders and her fingers gripped the fabric of his robes.
Zhang Yuan\'s hands traveled to her waist as he pulled her closer, pressing his body against hers.
Ning Xia was completely lost in the feeling of the kiss, as the sweet taste of his divine lips muddled her senses and his body heat seeped across her skin.
Soon, she imitated his movements and began to reciprocate the kiss, softly sucking on his lower lips.
A short while later, they gently pulled away from the kiss, and Ning Xia felt a wave of shyness wash over her.
She lowered her gaze, unable to meet his eyes, as a deep blush spread across her cheeks, turning them a vibrant shade of red like a tomato.
Looking at her cute face, Zhang Yuan\'s gaze trembled and he could feel his heart fluttering just by looking at this woman.
"Xia..."
Wanting to taste more of this breathtaking woman, he again leaned forward, however, Ning Xia hurriedly pushed away him by his shoulders and stood up.
"Y-Young Lord..."
She looked at Zhang Yuan and hurriedly ran inside the house.
*thud* She went to her room and closed the door as she jumped to the bed.
"W-What was that? What was that? Why did he suddenly do that?"
She couldn\'t hide the growing smile on her face and buried her face on the pillow.
"Ahhh... Young Lord... Hahaha..."
Meanwhile, Zhang Yuan who was outside, his eyes trembled in shock and a pang of pain swept through his heart "Did she not like it..."
He again remembered the three women he forcibly had sex with and a low mutter slipped from his lips, barely audible, as a wave of guilt washed over him "Is it because I forced her?"
"But I thought... the feeling was love, was it not love and she was also kissing me back."
Totally confused about her reaction, Zhang Yuan leaned back and clutched his head in pain as memories of the past flooded back to his mind.
"I made... another grave mistake?"
"I thought that I finally grasped the hang of these emotions and I am becoming human... Did I read her wrong? She is..."
He took a deep breath controlling his chaotic emotions and went to Zhang Fumin\'s room, so that he could ask her.
However, as he opened the door, he saw that she was deep in cultivation and let out a sigh.
He came back to the couch in the living room and laid on it, his heart heavy with emotions.
...
Morning came and Zhang Yuan blinked open his eyes, by the gaze of the sunlight filtering through the window.
As he sat upright, he saw Ning Xia walking around in the living room. Seeing him, her body jerked, and she hurriedly ran away from there.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan\'s gaze squinted and followed her to the kitchen.
Hm? Ning Xia who was preparing the tea for him was dumbfounded and a huge blush spread across her cheeks "Y-Young Lord."
She lowered her head and tried to run away from there.
But Zhang Yuan swiftly caught her and pushed her to the wall "Xia..."
Ning Xia lowered her gaze seeing his romantic wall slam and Zhang Yuan asked "Why are you running away from me?"
Hearing his question, the blush on Ning Xia\'s face deepened and a low mutter escaped her lips "T-That I was just embarrassed..."
-_- Huh?
