Fairy, please have some self-respect. I am not the reincarnation of your deceased husband.

As night deepened, moonlight streamed into the palace.

Therefore, even without lighting any candles, everything in the room was clearly visible.

The palace door was pushed open very gently, and the figure in lotus-colored robes quietly slipped in.

Her steps were light and graceful, exuding a sense of stealth.

"?"

As soon as she entered, Pei Wanyun noticed a small, snow-white dumpling sleeping soundly on a soft cushion in the corner.

She had been wondering where the little guy had gone.

Haven't been seen all day?

However, seeing it in this side hall, I breathed a sigh of relief.

That way, if her husband finds out later, she'll have an excuse.

After testing her last night, she had figured out the effectiveness of the calming incense.

Today, we can be bolder.

"..."

Pei Wanyun tiptoed closer to the bed.

Suddenly, the little snow flame in the corner seemed to sense something, and the tip of its ear twitched slightly.

"?"

It slowly opened its eyes, thinking it had been robbed.

But upon closer inspection—

The lotus-colored figure slowly walking towards the bed—wasn't that their master?

Pei Wanyun naturally noticed that the little one had woken up.

After all, the incense was useless to someone of her cultivation level, or to a spirit beast of Xueyan's rank.

Therefore, she was not surprised when the little one woke up.

He then raised his index finger and gently placed it against his lips, making a shushing gesture.

"Shh-"

Xiao Xueyan glanced at her but didn't interfere.

Although his master was bad, he had never treated him badly.

At this point, it wouldn't sabotage the operation.

She twitched her ear tips again, then gradually lowered them, preparing to continue her sweet dream.

"..."

Seeing that the little thing was so sensible, Pei Wanyun felt a little relieved.

No matter how much trouble the other party causes on a daily basis, their own spirit pet will always be on their side.

After withdrawing his gaze, he slowly walked to the edge of the bed.

Gazing at that serene and handsome sleeping face, she did not immediately approach him.

Instead, they were waiting, waiting for their breathing to calm down, waiting for their emotions to return to normal.

At this moment, the other party is not "disciple", not "Lian Shu", nor "someone else".

Rather, it was her "husband".

Her beloved, who belongs only to her.

"..."

Pei Wanyun sat down on the edge of the bed, her movements so light they were almost silent.

Fearing to disturb him, she dared not get too close and simply gazed at her husband quietly.

However, his gaze became increasingly infatuated, and his expression became increasingly gentle, with the love in his eyes almost overflowing.

About fifteen minutes.

She was no longer content with simply watching from the sidelines.

She noticed the bed had slightly sunken, and she gently lay down on it, but still kept a distance from her husband, quietly gazing at his profile as she turned to the side.

But slowly, they couldn't help but gradually get closer.

As it was moved inch by inch.

Finally, she quietly pulled the corner of the blanket over herself.

The bedding was filled with her husband's scent, mixed with a faint lotus fragrance that belonged only to her.

At this moment, all the "restraint" and "suppression" I usually have vanished.

After testing her last night, she knew that as long as she didn't make any big movements with the calming incense, her husband wouldn't wake up.

So, the hand that was being held quietly climbed up and their fingers intertwined.

The touch was warm and gentle, just like I remembered.

Pei Wanyun leaned gently against her husband's shoulder like a little bird, slowly closed her eyes, felt his body temperature, and listened to his breathing.

Just like before.

[Ding! The tribulation has been repaired...]

[Master-Apprentice Ratio: 36%]

The moment they touched, a system notification sounded from within their consciousness.

Chen Lianshu frowned slightly, as if she had noticed something.

However, he was still affected by the calming incense, but in an instant, his eyebrows and eyes relaxed again, and his breathing returned to normal.

Pei Wanyun, who was engrossed in the moment with her eyes closed, was unaware of this scene.

At that moment, she even wished she could just sleep until dawn.

When the morning light entered the palace, she would wake up to see her husband looking at her with tenderness and affection, just as she remembered.

Unfortunately…

Her current identity is that of a master.

"..."

Pei Wanyun rested her head quietly on her husband's shoulder, listening to his heartbeat and feeling the warmth of his palms touching hers.

Only when Xiao Xueyan in the corner turned over again did she move away a little, slightly satisfied.

Perhaps it's because they've been suppressing their feelings for too long.

Or perhaps she knew that her husband would not wake up and would not hear these words.

She finally spoke, her voice soft and hesitant:

"My husband..."

"I will protect you in this lifetime."

Pei Wanyun's hand hovered beside his face, lingered for a long time, and then gently fell, stroking his cheek.

"you…"

She paused, as if recalling her husband's perilous situation for her sake, and her tone became slightly bittersweet.

"Remember it quickly."

"I've been waiting so long—"

As she spoke, she sat up and, in the moonlight, placed a very light kiss on her husband's forehead.

[Master-Apprentice Ratio: 40%]

After pouring out all the pent-up emotions in my heart, I finally felt much better.

However, Pei Wanyun did not leave.

Instead, she leaned on his shoulder again, and her movements became increasingly bold.

At first, they simply held hands, and then the other hand gently covered his chest, feeling his steady and strong heartbeat.

She quietly reached out and gently hooked her leg around the other person's side.

This posture almost made her want to melt into Chen Lianshu's arms.

Even so, Pei Wanyun was still not satisfied, and gently pulled her husband's hand to place it on her inner thigh.

After all, the two of them used to sleep in each other's arms like this.

Her husband also adored her legs.

The night is still long, and the fragrance is still plentiful.

She can enjoy this tenderness for a long time.

Moreover, she added more incense to the incense burner tonight than yesterday, and could spend more time with him.

Unless... that eldest disciple comes looking for his junior brother for "morning practice" again.

But at least until then, her husband belonged only to her.

……

Time slipped by unnoticed, and no one knew how much time had passed.

Chen Lianshu felt a heaviness in her chest, as if something was pressing down on it, and she even had difficulty breathing.

Clearly, the Calamity Bell had absorbed most of the incense smoke from the censer.

Therefore, the calming and sleep-inducing effects did not last as long as Pei Wanyun had expected.

It's not even half of what was expected.

In a hazy state, consciousness gradually returned.

Chen Lianshu vaguely felt something being held in his palm.

It is soft, delicate, and smooth to the touch.

The area touched by the other hand was even softer and fuller, with skin as smooth as cream.

"?"

He slowly opened his eyes, still half-asleep.

The familiar tent top still came into view.

Then, following the unusual sensation, they looked over—

"?!"

There was a woman nestled against him!

Her hair was as black as ink, and the fragrance of lotus blossoms filled the air.

The lotus-colored nightgown, the gentle and graceful silhouette, and the way she nestled in his arms all stimulated his senses.

Although her face was not clearly visible.

However, the "Pure Lotus Jade Hairpin" he wore and the information it displayed were enough to identify him.

Pei Wanyun

[Affection Level: MAX (Shared Destiny)]

This person was none other than her master!

"!"

Instantly, the lingering drowsiness vanished completely.

Chen Lianshu stood frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.

He looked at his hands—

She was lying on the ground, her right hand being gently held by the other person, their fingers intertwined.

And the other hand…

That delicate, soft touch... it was from the base of her thigh?!

And the heaviness on her chest is precisely what makes her uniquely feminine.

What's going on?

Could it be... that I'm still not awake?

Why would someone have such a dream?

Is this... a wet dream?

But the fragrance of lotus lingering around my nose was so clear; and the skin my fingertips touched was so soft and warm.

Even the suffocating pressure in my chest felt so real.

All of this proves that everything is true!

Overwhelmed with shock, Chen Lianshu's hand instinctively tightened.

Fingertips instantly sank into the delicate skin of that leg.

"...!"

At the same time, the delicate body of the person in his arms suddenly stiffened.

Clearly, she had also noticed something was wrong…
