Chapter 174 The Cold and Aloof Immortal's Darkened Daoist Partner 23
After a moment of silence, Zong Yunze couldn't help but ask, "If you only had one pot of spirit flower wine, and I was about to die from exhaustion of spiritual energy, would you be willing to share a sip with me?"
Yun Qing blinked, somewhat bewildered, then pushed him away, turned and left. What a ridiculous question!
She took a few steps and realized that Zong Yunze hadn't followed. When she turned around, she saw him standing there motionless, his expression aloof, not much different from usual, but inexplicably giving off a sense of loneliness and looking pitiful.
Yun Qing: ...
She had no choice but to turn back, pull the person up, and coax them gently, "Here, take it all, okay?"
After saying that, he added irritably, "Always talking about dying, who are you trying to scare..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zong Yunze pulled her into his arms again, his grip on her waist almost breaking.
Yun Qing: ...
She simply cupped Zong Yunze's face in her hands and kissed him first.
So you're going to deliberately not feed me, huh? I'll bite you to death!
After taking the bite, she immediately shrank in a flash, landing in Zong Yunze's outstretched palm, looking at him with innocent eyes.
Zong Yunze raised his hand to touch the corner of his lip that had been bitten, then lowered his eyes to look at Yun Qing and asked, "You can control your body transformation now?"
Yun Qing paused for a moment, "It seems so."
She reached out and touched the jade bead she wore around her neck. The jade bead was pure white, and it seemed as if there were clouds floating inside it.
That was a spiritual artifact specially crafted for her by Zong Yunze. It nourishes the body and soul and can speed up her recovery.
She didn't expect such a noticeable effect so quickly; she had just suddenly thought about shrinking, and she actually did shrink.
Zong Yunze patted her head and said, "Try growing bigger again and see if you can really change shape at will."
Since it concerned her physical condition, Yun Qing didn't think much of it and immediately gave it a try.
As soon as it grew bigger, Zong Yunze caught it and kissed it back.
Yun Qing: ...
After the two of them joked around for a while, Yun Qing finally got to eat the dishes prepared by the chef and drink the spirit flower wine, feeling very happy.
The system worriedly reminded you: "Host, please drink less. Be careful not to get drunk and talk nonsense."
It always felt like the more the host and the master interacted, the more things were being revealed from her subconscious, even though the seal hadn't loosened.
It's now really afraid that she'll get drunk and say something that will terrify it.
Yun Qing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then I'll drink one last cup."
The system estimated that just one more drink wouldn't make her drunk, but it still gave her a scare: "Be careful, or Zong Yunze might take advantage of you."
Yun Qing glanced at Zong Yunze and calmly said, "It's not like he hasn't taken advantage of others before."
System: ...I have no rebuttal.
Then we'll have to resort to something drastic.
What if he takes advantage of you while you're drunk and tries to have sex with you?
Yun Qing seemed lost in thought. Just when the system thought it had frightened her, she suddenly asked, "System, will dual cultivation be beneficial to my physical recovery?"
"You really want to cultivate together with him?"
Is it true that once your feelings start, you can't hold back?
I was just asking out of curiosity.
She felt that it should be feasible in theory.
As she pondered, she casually drank another glass.
The system quickly replied: 【You drank again!】
Yun Qing silently put down her cup. [I wasn't paying attention, was I?]
Zong Yunze wasn't particularly fond of food; he preferred watching Yunqing eat to eating himself and always took care of her.
The Spirit Flower Wine was good for Yun Qing, and she was craving it, so Zong Yunze didn't restrict her much. After Yun Qing finished drinking it, he would pour her another one.
So, Yun Qing got distracted and accidentally drank it; it wasn't that she intentionally drank too much.
The system couldn't help but ask: "Are you alright? You're not drunk, are you?"
Yun Qing said nonchalantly, "It's just one extra drink; I'm not that easy to get drunk."
The system was relieved, but it soon realized it had relaxed too soon.
It watched helplessly as its host ate two bites of food, then picked up a wine glass and drank another, its mind filled with questions. [Host, didn't we agree not to drink?]
Yun Qing squinted her eyes happily and handed the wine glass to Zong Yunze, wanting him to pour her more wine. [Why won't you drink it when it's so delicious?]
system:!!!
[Host! Are you drunk?]
[Nonsense! I can hold my liquor perfectly well!]
System: ...I'm really drunk.
It seems that when the spiritual energy in this spirit flower wine is too strong, people immediately become confused, but once the spiritual energy is absorbed, they immediately become clear-headed again.
But now it wants the host to stop drinking and quickly refine and absorb the spiritual energy, which she definitely won't listen to.
Zong Yunze glanced at Yun Qing and saw her happy expression with her eyebrows curving. He knew she was drunk and couldn't even maintain her aloof demeanor.
He reached out and gently stroked her head, his voice soft, "Qingqing, you're drunk."
Yun Qing stared at him for a while, then suddenly asked, "Are you trying to take advantage of me?"
System: ...You don't remember that you promised not to drink it, but you remember perfectly well that Zong Yunze would take advantage of you.
Zong Yunze touched her face and pinched her earlobe, saying without changing his expression, "I won't take advantage of you."
How can it be considered taking advantage of a couple who are on the same path?
Yun Qing blinked, then exclaimed with a look of sudden realization, "You want to cultivate with me!"
system:……
Zong Yunze paused for a moment. Seeing Yun Qing's smug look as if she had guessed his thoughts, he lowered his eyes and smiled. He did not deny it, but asked, "Then, Qingqing, would you like to cultivate with me?"
Yun Qing threw herself into his arms, nodding repeatedly, and cupped his face, saying, "Senior brother, you look so handsome when you smile."
The system breathed a sigh of relief. Just remember he's your senior brother, don't call him the wrong person.
It thought that the host might have taken to heart what it had previously worried about her talking nonsense.
Zong Yunze put his arm around her slender waist, kissed the tip of her nose, and asked, "Are you sure you want to cultivate together?"
Yun Qing looked at him with bright eyes and said, "Mmm."
Zong Yunze asked again, "Is this nonsense, or the truth spoken while drunk?"
Yun Qing found him too talkative, so she simply kissed him to shut him up.
Zong Yunze gently stroked her hair, his movements tender, but a dark undercurrent surged in his eyes. In a moment, that undercurrent transformed into undisguised desire, and his gentle touch turned into gripping the back of her head, giving her no chance to back down.
……
Xiao He was waiting for his master's wife's evaluation of the food so he could decide whether or not to keep the chef.
After the meal was delivered, nothing more was heard from them.
He figured his master and mistress were probably too busy being affectionate to notice, so he decided to ask them. If his mistress wasn't satisfied, he could continue looking for someone else.
He saw the rising barrier in the distance, paused, and wisely turned and left.
Let's leave that chef here for now, and talk about it after Master and Mistress come out of seclusion.
Xiao He wasn't in a hurry at all, but Wen Li, who had just come out of seclusion and heard that he had a master's wife, was extremely anxious because she was so curious but couldn't find her.
He followed Xiao He around like a tail, constantly asking questions.
Xiao He was getting a headache from his questions, so in order to distract him, he told him about Lin Yao'er.
Wen Li never expected Lin Yao'er to be such an unreasonable person, but he did not doubt Xiao He's words at all, and couldn't help but feel very disgusted with Lin Yao'er.
He even went to the solitary confinement room to check on the situation, where Lin Yao'er was crying and shouting like a madwoman.
Wen Li shook his head; it had only been three days since he was locked up.
Back then, he and his senior brother had been to the solitary confinement room to temper their character. Although it wasn't easy, it wasn't nearly as extreme as this.
He didn't bother with Lin Yao'er, but went back and vividly described her miserable state to Xiao He, so that his senior brother could feel better.
