Chapter 511 You didn’t even make tea
The next day, Gong Cui woke up in Wu Long’s embrace.
“Ehehehe”
A tiny giggle escaped her as she remembered that she was now his woman, her face expression of pure bliss. She then remembered more from last night and her face began to redden as she moved her head to look at him, seeing a pair of amused eyes looking at her.
“Kya~”
She squirmed, burrowing her head into his chest as he chuckled, his hand around her bringing her closer to him as he lay with a satisfied smile.
“Hehe, I am a real woman now”
She then had a sudden realization, raising her head again with a triumphant look.
“Mm, you are”
“Hehe, this is a new Gong Cui”
She then looked to the side with a look of a ‘Femme Fatale’, as he chuckled and brought her closer for a kiss.
They did not rush to get out of the bed, lazing around for a little, but as the sun rose high into the sky outside, they finally left the bed.
She first lamented leaving his embrace she felt so comfortable in, but then a new sensation filled her mind.
“This is… is this the bond?”
“Haha, indeed it is”
Wu Long chuckled, as Gong Cui received a lecture from Luo Mingyu on the technique before that fateful conversation with the others.
She then exclaimed with excitement and leaped to hug him again as she felt the wonderful feeling.
Meanwhile, in the room that was in the same courtyard, another beauty had a weary look on her face as she could not sleep all night, finally peacefully closing her eyes for an afternoon nap.
—
Yu Huan was working on her flame control, adjusting to using the powerful Earth Flame in preparation to deal with the Demonic Beast blood Wu Long has asked her to purify, when Bi Rui arrived at her courtyard.
“One moment, I am almost done”
The alchemist beauty spoke with a concentrated expression, her eyes reflecting the yellowish-green flames in front of her, the doors of her alchemy room leading to the courtyard open wide.
As she finished the exercise, wiping away beads of sweat on her forehead, she turned a curious gaze to Bi Rui standing in the courtyard, who rarely visited her in daytime when she was certain to be occupied with alchemy.
It was also rare for the two to meet lately as both were preoccupied so this sudden visit easily caught her attention.
“Did you hear? Gong Cui has confessed her feelings and has already become Wu Long’s woman. They went on a date yesterday evening”
Bi Rui spoke with some unspoken meaning behind her words.
“… no, but it is cause for celebration, no?”
Yu Huan widened her eyes, and then peacefully asked with a smile as Bi Rui rolled her eyes.
“Of course it is, Huan’er, and I am happy to welcome her. I just… I get frustrated seeing you”
“Hahaha, Sister Rui is too hasty… I… I can’t just throw my affections at him willy-nilly, you know? I just realized I felt that way myself not that long ago.
Besides, I have far too many things to thank him for, and it is not certain he would reciprocate…”
“Haa~… seriously…
Sometimes I wonder if you really are smart and are not randomly playing with flames…”
“Sister Rui!”
“I know, I know, I’m sorry to hit where it hurts. But still… have you seen the way he treats you?”
“Yes, I acknowledge that he treats me extremely well, and even that is an understatement…
But he treats all women with kindness and consideration. The only truly special treatment someone gets is you and his women”
“Haa~”
Bi Rui sighed, closing her eyes and touching her forehead with the tips of her fingers, unable to process how this beauty was considered a genius.
She never understood much about alchemy, and never tried to learn ever since the first experience many years ago when she started sleeping in the middle of Yu Huan’s explanation, after which the latter didn’t speak with her for an entire month.
So the extent to which her friend was smart or accomplished in the field never quite got through to her.
Thus to estimate Yu Huan’s abilities, she always went off of the praise of others. Though she always praised her as the best alchemist she knew, which was true as she was the only alchemist she really knew.
But seeing her be so oblivious to the signs of Wu Long’s intentions indeed caused her to doubt whether all that praise was true.
Of course, she knew that Yu Huan never had any interest in almost anything but Alchemy, and thus could not blame her for being completely clueless.
There was also the fact it was her first experience with love, even further, her first experience truly interacting with a man.
Naturally, over the years there were many men who had expressed interest in her.
But she was so focused on the Dao of Alchemy as well as inexperienced with social interactions, that it went two ways.
It either completely went over her head without any notice.
Or was taken with hostility, viewed by her in the same way as the advances of senior alchemists who saw her as an easy woman they could possibly ‘score’ with.
There were plenty of young beautiful women entering the Alchemy Tower as ‘assistants’ to then immediately find a wealthy Alchemist with status and retire.
Which was why her looks were viewed as a sign that she was not really there to pursue the Dao of Alchemy.
Thinking about that experience and how innocent her friend was in the matters of the heart, Bi Rui sighed with defeat, not completely sure she was in the right to put pressure on her.
‘Maybe I should talk with Sister Mingyu… she is far wiser than me, besides, it seems she was the one who gave Sister Cui the courage…’
“Hm? You’re leaving?”
“Haha, what? You expect me to stay? When you didn’t even make tea for me?
Oh, sorry, I forgot! I think that is now reserved for a certain someone, hahahaha”
“Sister Rui!”
Bi Rui turned while laughing as Yu Huan whose cheeks reddened slightly pouted, but quickly cleared her mind and began manipulating her flames once again.
