Fairy, I am truly a virtuous gentleman!

Seeing Qiao Shuang's depressed expression, Ning Yuan immediately understood what was going on.

So he seized the opportunity and pulled the other person into the water.

A gasp of surprise followed.

The spring water dampened Qiao Shuang's robes, revealing her full figure. Large swathes of her white skin were exposed to the enchanting air, tinged with a sweet amber color by the honey-colored candlelight.

The boy's strong, powerful chest made the woman dizzy and infatuated; his burning body temperature and breath made her feel dizzy.

"Oh, why are you wearing black today?"

Ning Yuan embraced the head maid, grabbed the woman's soft little feet, pulled them out of the water to examine them closely, and played with and caressed them.

The originally thin and transparent black silk stockings, after being soaked in the spiritual spring, seemed to have been coated with a layer of viscous lotion, shimmering with a hazy luster and feeling smooth to the touch.

Her ankles were slender, and her jade-like feet, wrapped in black stockings, curled up unconsciously. Her delicate toes, round and full, resembled delicious red grapes, breathtakingly beautiful.

Although the position was quite embarrassing, Qiao Shuang still let the boy do as he pleased.

She wrapped her delicate hand around Ning Yuan's neck, lowered her head, and said shyly, "Because I was thinking that I couldn't always wear the same thing, I was afraid you would lose interest."

"How could that be? Haven't my efforts these past few days been enough for you to understand? My dear sister..."

Ning Yuan smiled maliciously.

"Please don't tease me, young master..."

Qiao Shuang let out a soft moan, biting her lower lip lightly with her pearly teeth, somewhat shy, yet seemingly unable to bear it, she avoided the boy's burning gaze.

Especially that last "good sister," which almost made Qiao Shuang lose her composure, making her so excited she couldn't contain herself.

At the same time, Qiao Shuang also recalled the madness of recent days, and an indescribable sense of pleasure burst forth from her body like a fountain.

Whether it was the taste of Ning Yuan's bone marrow or the intensity of their love, once the two returned to the courtyard, they were like a pair of magnets, unwilling to part for even a moment.

Qiao Shuang was particularly vulnerable. Although she kept telling Ning Yuan to restrain himself, as soon as the young man rushed over and said a few sweet words, she was stripped naked and thrown onto the bed in no time. Only after it was all over did she finally come to her senses.

In the end, she could only secretly warn herself while sweetly lying in Ning Yuan's arms, silently looking forward to the next time.

Looking at the captivating blush on the fairy's face in his arms.

"Teasing? I'm telling the truth."

Ning Yuan lowered his voice, then suddenly changed the subject, asking, "Or do you think I'm lying and don't care about you?"

Qiao Shuang hurriedly looked up and found that the boy's brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied.

Qiao Shuang immediately looked aggrieved and said pitifully, "That's not what Da Qiao meant..."

Ning Yuan showed no sign of softening his stance. Instead, he released his arms from the woman and distanced himself slightly with a nonchalant expression.

"Then why do you always interfere in my affairs with Xiao Lingjiang? She's just a mere Qi Refiner. Even if she was exceptionally talented in the past, she's nothing special now. Didn't you witness her achievements these past few days? Why should you care about this woman? Just because she was once my fiancée? But even so, wasn't it a decision you made with Father?"

Ning Yuan's tone carried a hint of disappointment.

"I have already explained to you once that everything I did had its reasons, but although you are outwardly respectful, you must be harboring resentment in your heart. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to find me so early time and time again."

Qiao Shuang immediately became apprehensive. The legendary Fairy Lingyin, in front of Ning Yuan, was like a mortal wife, at a loss for what to do.

"I...I didn't, I was just...jealous..."

Qiao Shuang uttered the last word with difficulty.

It's no wonder she felt ashamed.

It's quite amusing that a Golden Core cultivator, a disciple of the Pure Yang Daoist, is vying for the affections of a female Qi Refiner whose cultivation was completely destroyed and who has to start all over again.

"Sigh, never mind, I don't blame you. Just remember, you are my father's disciple, a peerless fairy who has condensed a high-grade golden core. Don't compare yourself with those low-level cultivators in the future, it's unnecessary."

Ning Yuan's tone finally softened a bit, and he pulled Qiao Shuang into his arms again.

Qiao Shuang's beautiful eyes were slightly red as she tightly hugged the boy's waist, her face pressed against his chest, like a little girl who had finally found her lost treasure.

"Young master, I was wrong. I will never bother you again."

Qiao Shuang seemed to have no idea what was going on, and hurriedly expressed her submission and loyalty.

"That's good..."

Ning Yuan sighed softly and reached out his finger to lovingly stroke Qiao Shuang's rosy and soft lips. He first caressed them for a moment, and then pressed them in with a little force.

Qiao Shuang immediately opened her red lips, her cheeks flushed, and gently took the mouthful in her mouth, her eyes gazing at the handsome and refined young man through the mist.

The steam from the bath blurred my vision.

Ning Yuan's gaze was deep and his thoughts were complex.

It's pitiful that Qiao Shuang was sent by Ning Muxian to monitor and protect her. She didn't have to be so humble, but she willingly bowed down and became a maid who listened to everything she said.

In just a few days, he easily took her into his tent and played with her at will.

This is not just out of respect and admiration for Ning Muxian.

Furthermore, it was due to the twisted, obsessive, and incomparably greedy love she had developed over the past ten years, starting from her teenage years, while taking care of Ning Yuan.

In fact, Ning Yuan didn't blame Qiao Shuang at all. On the contrary, his heart was filled with warmth and a little guilt that would soon dissipate.

Those who are favored can be fearless.

It was precisely because of Qiao Shuang's unconditional love that Ning Yuan was able to manipulate her thoughts with extremely clumsy methods.

In this world, how many people are truly willing to give their all for another person without being tempted by personal gain or power?

I'm afraid even many parents can't do this for their children.

Perhaps compared to women like Xiao Lingjiang, who possesses the remnant soul of an immortal, Zhu Qixian, the female demon lord, and Chu Lingci, the sword immortal, Qiao Shuang's potential and value are not that great.

But Ning Yuan couldn't bear to let go of this unique love that was different from everyone else's.

Moreover, as the only high-level combatant under his command, he would have to rely on Qiao Shuang to do many things in the future, and he could not have any doubts as before.

Practicing swordsmanship with Xiao Lingjiang every day was not only to plant a seed in the girl's heart, but also to provoke Qiao Shuang and make her continue to lower her stance.

Ning Yuan needs Qiao Shuang's complete obedience!

Ah, although I became a Dao Lord in my previous life.

However, as a Dao Lord of the Demonic Sect, it's alright if he likes to scheme, is a little selfish, and has a strong possessive desire, right?

Seeing that Qiao Shuang had finally calmed down, Ning Yuan, convinced that she would be more obedient to him, lazily nestled into her broad bosom.

Qiao Shuang blushed. Sensing something was wrong, she gently pressed down on the back of the boy's head and they both sank into the water.

Water splashed everywhere, and her long black hair, like a blooming black lotus, slowly blossomed in the water, obscuring the hazy and alluring spring light at the bottom.

...

...

Two more days passed.

As the golden dawn breaks, colorful clouds rise and billow.

As the melodious chimes rang out, a golden pillar of light shot into the sky, piercing straight through the heavens.

Throughout the entire capital city of Luoyang, encompassing both the inner and outer city walls, this breathtaking scene can be witnessed.

Inside the room, Ning Yuan, lying on the jade couch and being served by Qiao Shuang, had a flash in his eyes and said to himself with a smile, "It seems that the Grand Gathering of All Laws should have begun."
