Chapter 796 Night Talk and Bedtime at the Brothel (Part 2)
Pei Ye froze: "Try...try what?"

Li Xizhou whispered, "What do you think?"

"I...I don't know."

"What are you pretending to be?"

"..."

Pei Ye lowered his head, the woman's narrowed eyes were very close to his.

"Isn't this the time when you were biting people in the Mirage Realm?"

"No, no, please don't... I think it's too sudden." Pei Ye looked away with difficulty, her neck stiff.

"I also felt that you were very sudden that time."

"...I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I like it very much."

Pei Ye's heart skipped a beat.

"Did you like it?" she whispered, looking at him. "Shall we do it again?"

Pei Ye couldn't help but look at her. He turned back to her, and she leaned quietly on his shoulder, her cheeks flushed, perhaps from the smell of alcohol.

Their breaths mingled, and Pei Ye lowered his head and bit her lip.

Like vines that bend and twine around a pole when they touch it, Pei Ye felt that the woman's lips had the same magic. As soon as he touched them, he couldn't help but slowly wrap his arms around her waist and hold her back... The two of them pressed intimately together.

Unable to support the boy's weight, Li Xizhou leaned against the railing, while Pei Ye kissed her quietly.

This time, Li Xizhou didn't push him. After a long while, Pei Ye raised his head slightly, his body blocking the light as he looked down at the woman's bright, watery eyes in the shadows.

"So you need to kiss me for this long before you're satisfied," Li Xizhou said softly.

Pei Ye then gave her cheek a peck, still somewhat unsatisfied.

Li Xizhou was quiet for a while beneath him: "Let me touch you."

"……what?"

"abdomen."

Pei Ye froze for a moment, then covered his collar and stood up.

Li Xizhou sat down next to him with a smile: "What? I let you bite them all obediently."

"Let's drink." Pei Ye said in a muffled voice.

Li Xizhou filled the wine glass.

The two leaned against each other and drank slowly.

“I didn’t expect that booklet would rank me seventh today,” Pei Ye said. “They even gave me a nickname, something like ‘Chijian’, without telling me. I see everyone else has some kind of master or immortal title, why didn’t they give me that?”

"It's given by the Immortal Platform. For chivalrous individuals who don't have their own nicknames, the Immortal Platform will give them a name that fits them as closely as possible," Li Xizhou said. "Who told you not to say so sooner?"

"Can it still be changed?"

"Of course you can. You can talk to the Immortal Platform, or wait until another name becomes popular, or a more suitable title is found... the Immortal Platform will change it."

"Then I want to claim the title 'Number One Sword Under Heaven,' and will you also change the name of the Immortal Platform?"

Li Xizhou laughed: "Go and tell him, I will definitely persuade Li Jian to do it."

"Can you think of something better?"

"How would I know what Young Master Pei would like? Young Master Pei can choose for himself."

"I won't."

Li Xizhou smiled.

“Those men today were strange too.” Pei Ye leaned against a pillar, letting the woman rest her head on his shoulder, and poured wine. “Don’t you think they did it on purpose?”

"What's the purpose?"

"He deliberately acts all loyal, and says things that seem to be entirely for your benefit."

Li Xizhou laughed so hard he stopped drinking.

Pei Ye smiled and said, "I was still very gentlemanly. I fought them properly and didn't use any underhanded tactics—but I advise you to stay away from men like that."

"Really? I do have a similar subordinate now."

"Who?"

"I forgot what his name was, but when we first met, he kept calling me 'Your Highness,' 'This humble servant,' and 'Yes, Your Highness,' but behind my back he was talking about me with Xu Chuo."

"..." Pei Ye thought for a moment, "At least it proves that he likes Xu Chuo very much." Li Xizhou smiled and drank.

The two drank in silence. Li Xizhou asked, "How much is left?"

"A pot."

"Let's play pitch-pot."

"Row."

"The rules are the same as last time—go and get it."

The wine here was actually not strong; compared to the medicine Pei Ye used to take, it was like sweet water. The two chatted under the moon, just like last time, playing the game of pitch-pot and drinking wine.

Although Pei Ye had become much more agile, the woman was no longer weak, and she won by a single move again.

“You must practice secretly whenever you have free time,” Pei Ye laughed.

"If you can't handle losing, don't play." Li Xizhou leaned back on his shoulder.

“You made a very suitable chair back,” she said.

Pei Ye didn't retort. The candlelight on the terrace gradually dimmed, leaving only the clean glow of the stars and moon.

“West Continent,” he said.

"Ok?"

"I think I understand what you just meant."

Li Xizhou looked up at him.

"Exactly, even if you don't like me that much... I look like you said, fat... no, I practice martial arts, unless I like someone, I'll never be fat, just ugly, one eye on my forehead and one eye below my nose..."

Li Xizhou chuckled: "Is that even human?"

"Hey, don't change the subject. Anyway, that's what it looks like... If I wanted it, would you be willing to... do that with me?"

Pei Ye looked down at her.

"Who would want to, you ugly freak?"

"You do."

"..."

"Because love is not important, I am important."

"..." Li Xizhou moved his lips, and for a moment suspected that the boy in front of him with his eyes downcast also had a clear mind. In the past fifteen days, they had not practiced swordsmanship, and Ming Qitian had taught him this move.

“You said the first half, but you didn’t say the second half.” Pei Ye turned his head. “I understand what you mean, Xizhou. But my thoughts are different from yours.”

"what?"

“I don’t take love lightly,” the boy said earnestly. “I love you, and this has troubled me for a long time. I’m serious about this. A few days ago, I saw Piaoqing on the Eight Rivers. I was very distressed at that time, but before I could figure it out, I had already made up my mind. If I really had to choose, I would definitely choose you.”

He lowered his head: "Later I said goodbye to Piaoqing... It's not that I didn't take kissing you seriously. Although I was really conflicted and sad about it, it was something I had to deal with."

He looked at the woman quietly: "I am troubled by many things, and love is just an ordinary burden among them. No matter your attitude, I will never break up with you because of this. You underestimate me."

"..."

“We’ve entrusted our lives to each other, so we’ll share that responsibility. I have feelings for you, so I’ll bear the responsibility for those feelings. These are two separate things. I can’t take advantage of your attention and indifference… and just casually enjoy this sweetness.” Pei Ye said softly, “However, I’m grateful that you’re willing to be comfortable with me.”

Li Xizhou gazed at him tenderly, then slowly turned her head away, leaving only her cheek and the half-moon shape of her mouth visible.

"What kind of benefits are you talking about?" she whispered.

"...I think that's a good thing."

"Shall we go and taste the real sweetness?" Li Xizhou turned his head and said in a breathy voice. His beautiful eyes were like the night lake downstairs.

“…I feel,” Pei Ye’s body tensed up again, “I feel…it’s a bit sudden…I haven’t showered all day…How about we schedule a time? Wait, wait until the Feather Scale Trial—wait until the Shenjing Martial Arts Examination is over, okay?”

Li Xizhou laughed: "Oh, you're treating this like a very important matter."

"This is a very big deal!" Pei Ye glared, but kept his voice down.

“We can accept that the Feather Scale Trial is over, and we can accept that the Martial Arts Examination is over,” Li Xizhou said, squinting like a big cat. “It won’t affect tonight.”

"..."

"Come on." She hooked her arms around Pei Ye's neck, pressed her cheek against his, and whispered, "...I want to do it with you."

Pei Ye's arm snapped.
