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

"!"

Chen Lianshu tensed up instantly, even tightening her grip on the blanket.

Fortunately, the dim moonlight concealed the abnormality in his complexion.

What intrigued him was that Pei Wanyun, who was being laid down, seemed completely unconcerned.

Even closer?

Their soft, delicate bodies pressed tightly together through a thin undergarment, as if trying to convey something.

"Well…"

Chen Lianshu stiffly glanced down and noticed that the height of the blanket did indeed seem a bit unnatural.

"The blanket is a bit thick."

His thoughts raced, and his explanation was quite reasonable.

His tone was dry, and he seemed somewhat guilty.

"Since it's my first time at Jade Spirit Peak, my junior brother is still a little unaccustomed to it and feels a bit cold."

"Therefore... my master specially prepared thicker bedding for me."

The word "Master" was mentioned.

Pei Wanyun seemed to hug him tighter in bed, and even gently rubbed against his waist, though it was unclear what she was trying to express.

And whether it was just his imagination or not, Chen Lianshu always felt that his master was "not afraid of making things worse"?

But the thought only flashed through my mind before I suppressed it.

Mu Qianxue listened to this explanation and nodded thoughtfully.

"In that case, junior brother, please rest well."

"If you feel unwell, please remember to inform me and Master as soon as possible."

"If you haven't rested well, you'll be excused from today's morning study session."

After saying that, she finally pushed open the door and left.

Only after the palace doors were completely closed did Chen Lianshu finally let out a long breath, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

He didn't understand...

Even if they were discovered, Master wouldn't necessarily do anything.

But just now, the other person subconsciously didn't want their senior sister to see, and was extremely nervous...

"call--"

Only after noticing that Mu Qianxue had gone far away did the bulging blanket on the bed suddenly yank off.

Pei Wanyun poked her head out and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Her cheeks were flushed, whether from the heat or from the intimate contact with her husband, it was hard to tell.

Fine beads of sweat clung to the sides of his face, his hair was more disheveled than before, and his clothes were open even wider.

You can even vaguely glimpse the graceful undulations on both sides.

She looked even more alluring and captivating than before.

Seeing his master come out, Chen Lianshu casually asked:

"Senior sister...she's really gone?"

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Pei Wanyun responded with a deep voice, her tone even carrying a hint of lingering satisfaction.

If the girl hadn't kept getting closer, she would have preferred her to stay a little longer.

This gives me a reason to be closer to my husband.

Unfortunately…

"Master, you..."

Chen Lianshu opened her mouth, wanting to ask something, but for a moment she didn't know where to begin.

They have no idea how to end this awkward situation.

Should we kick her out?

Or should we pretend nothing happened?

Obviously, none of them are possible.

Seeing his expression, Pei Wanyun simply smiled.

Instead of tidying her clothes, she propped herself up and lay down on her side, quietly gazing at her husband.

This caused the already loose collar to slip open even further.

Even her fair skin and curves were faintly visible.

"Disciple, what were you thinking about just now?"

"..."

Chen Lianshu looked at her expressionlessly.

"However, I am quite satisfied with your performance just now."

Before her husband could speak, Pei Wanyun spoke first.

The intimacy they had just shared had made her much more relaxed, and most of the reserve she usually maintained as a master had faded away.

However, she will not reveal her true intentions until her husband has made a clear statement.

Step by step—

Now it's time to "move forward".

Now that the night raid has been discovered, there's no need to keep up appearances anymore.

"So why is Master so afraid of being discovered by Senior Sister?"

Could it be that the two of them have some hidden story in the simulation?

Chen Lianshu voiced the question that had been lingering in her mind.

However, he didn't say the second half of the sentence.

After calming down, he became even more concerned about his master's unusual panic just now.

"Silly disciple, of course I'm doing this for you."

Pei Wanyun smiled slightly, answered seriously, and gave a very reasonable explanation.

This instantly dispelled half of his doubts.

"If Mu-ya saw us like that just now, what would she think?"

It wasn't because of any of those things; it was just a subconscious choice.

Given my disciple's current emotionally obtuse nature...

Even if they were caught doing this, they would probably just assume that their master was giving them some instructions.

But she couldn't shake her worries...

"Well…"

Chen Lianshu subconsciously began to ponder along with his words.

A master and a disciple were caught in bed by their senior sister.

The scene was too beautiful for him to imagine…

"That Master just now..."

He brought up the intimacy of their intertwined fingers and entwined legs again, his tone even carrying a questioning tone.

"Just now?"

"What happened just now?"

Pei Wanyun interrupted him, her voice as gentle as a spring pond.

However, the answer was extremely serious, even somewhat self-righteous:

"I'm just observing."

"Check if my disciple is sleeping well?"

"Check if there are any unusual movements in the restrictions within your body, and whether they cause you any discomfort."

If not for the moonlight, Chen Lianshu would have been able to see the overflowing love in his eyes.

Pei Wanyun slightly propped herself up, rested her chin on her hand, and moved even closer.

The refreshing fragrance of lotus became even more distinct.

With a "what's the use" attitude, she became bolder.

"Could it be... that my disciple doesn't like it?"

"..."

Chen Lianshu had no answer to this.

have a look?

You've been watching the forbidden texts all the way to your bed?

Seeing their fingers intertwined, their legs entwined, and them nestled against her?

But he also had to admit—of course he liked it.

With a soft, fragrant body in one's arms, what man could say he wouldn't like it?

嗏

Before he could think it through, a soft laugh interrupted his thoughts.

"Okay, okay, I'm just teasing you."

Pei Wanyun naturally wouldn't let her husband delve any further, so she changed the subject:

"Come, let your teacher see what's inside your body."

Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to straddle her husband, cupping his face in her hands and pressing her forehead against his.

"Relax, don't resist my consciousness."

As expected, Chen Lianshu was caught off guard by this sudden action and subconsciously relaxed as instructed.

This "exploration" lasted for a long time.

Finally, Pei Wanyun reluctantly moved her forehead away and slowly straightened up.

She didn't leave, remaining straddling her husband, and sighed in relief, saying:

"The situation is currently relatively stable."

"If you feel unwell, remember to tell your teacher immediately."

"But this restriction is really troublesome..."

"There is currently no foolproof way to resolve this."

"But if your life is in danger, I will protect you at all costs."

"Thank you, Master."

Chen Lianshu's attention was indeed diverted by this series of attacks.

However, now that the examination was complete, he looked away, avoiding his master's striking phoenix eyes, and suggested:

"Since everything is alright now."

"It's late, Master, please go back. Your disciple needs to rest."

"..."

There was a moment of silence before him.

"?"

Then he felt the corner of the blanket being gently lifted.

A warm body slipped inside; though not exactly pressed against each other, it was enough to be considered sharing a bed.

"...!"

Chen Lianshu, not understanding his meaning, said:

"Master, you..."

"Shh-"

But Pei Wanyun, who was lying beside him, made a shushing gesture and whispered:

"Let me stay a little longer."

"That girl just left. What if she turns around and finds that I'm not in my own hall, but instead loitering around this side hall? Wouldn't that be even more suspicious?"

"Besides, I'm a bit tired myself, so it won't hurt for me to rest here for a while..."

After saying that, she closed her eyes without a second thought.

His fingers loosened slightly, and his breathing gradually became long and even, as if he had truly fallen asleep.

"..."

This reason…

That seems... to make some sense?

Chen Lianshu opened her mouth, but ultimately did not utter a rebuttal.

As for the question I wanted to ask earlier—how I managed to break free of the restrictions during the simulation—I was unable to bring myself to ask it.

At least in the current atmosphere, it's really not appropriate.

Thus, the two figures lay quietly on the bed.

One of them was actually asleep.

The other pretended to be asleep, unwilling to be separated.
