Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1278A. Enthusiastic Hosts

Qin Yu had long ago realized that the demon energy that was concentrated in the cracks was clever. It was able understand a person’s essence. If one was unable to block the attack from the demon energy, then there was nothing left to say. It would completely defeat you and turn you into a mindless puppet.

But if you were able to block it, the demon energy would change its method and appear warm towards you, not putting pressure on you. It would at most add a little interest in your life – for example, digging into your heart for your deepest wish, making you become unknowingly rash and more easily influenced.

Hence, Qin Yu soon realized that bringing Cang Zhu along with him may not be the wisest choice. The sound of her deep breaths and the smell of her had all turned into challenges for him. He had to spend quite a bit of effort suppressing his feelings.

Moreover, the thing that annoyed Qin Yu the most was that as they went deeper, there were no signs of the crack ending and the air became thicker. For the time being, Qin Yu would still be able to hold onto his consciousness. However, Cang Zhu was starting to behave weirdly. Her breathing became more urgent, the hand that was grabbing Qin Yu was drenched in sweat, and her grip on him was subconsciously tightening and loosening repeatedly.

A beautiful face like a flower drenched in sweat could more or less be used to describe Cang Zhu now. It was as if the bones in her body were slowly being removed and her weak body was now half leaning on Qin Yu. This…was really testing his tolerance.

Qin Yu felt his nose itch and hoped that it was not bleeding. If it started bleeding, he would be utterly embarrassed. As he struggled to think of other things to distract himself, Cang Zhu looked up at him, “Brother Qin, I am struggling to stay conscious right now; please don’t touch me, otherwise it may destroy the pearl.”

To make a proud woman say something as embarrassing and shameful as this meant that she was about to burst. Cang Zhu bit her lips and struggled to maintain an expressionless face. However, she did not know that the way she looked right now, as she struggled to maintain her will, was even more alluring to a man.

Qin Yu cursed and struggled to remain expressionless, “Don’t worry, I am not interested in women who have big breasts and long legs.”

…Was this a compliment? Despite their current situation, Cang Zhu could not help but feel slightly happy. However, a thought emerged in her head. Since their agreement was not complete, why didn’t she take the chance…no, Cang Zhu, you have to be calm. All men are bastards, the easier things are, the more they won’t cherish it.

Resist, resist! The more you resist now, the better he will treat you in the future. This is the only way for their relationship to be on the right track. If not, it was obvious what their future was going to be like since they started off in a contract.

“Mmhm,” Cang Zhu lowered her head. She was actually quite pleased with Qin Yu’s current performance. Although he was slightly crafty and evil, he was not someone who took advantage of others when they were vulnerable. He let things take their natural course.

Four hours later, Cang Zhu had been heavily affected by the demon energy and she was completely pressed onto Qin Yu. She was like a snake, moving and rubbing against him. Her eyes were half closed as she exhaled through her mouth. Her breath was fragrant.

This…was simply too hard to resist!

Qin Yu could sense the shame and embarrassment she felt and how she struggled to keep a clear mind. However, it was not enough to suppress the urge in her.

Cang Zhu knew very clearly that if Qin Yu were to do something now, both her mind and her body would not be able to resist. As much as she would not like to admit, a small part of her was even looking forward to it.

This was too shameful! Will he notice this and take action? Should I pretend not to react or follow his lead? Will this be uncomfortable? Every time I asked my sisters back in the tribe, they all had weird expressions.

Qin Yu closed and then opened his eyes. He suddenly reached out and touched Cang Zhu’s pink neck. When he touched her, Cang Zhu let out an “Mmhmm,” sound…

But it only went to here. He then grabbed her and extended his hand as if he was catching a naughty rabbit. She was floating in mid-air.

“If you can’t keep conscious then go to sleep. It will help your body.” Hearing this was like a slap to Cang Zhu and the dark thoughts in her mind immediately fell silent.

Finally, silence!

Qin Yu let out a long breath and gritted his teeth. It was definitely a mistake to bring this woman with him. It was not like there was no way to fix this. He could just leave her behind to fend for herself. But doing this kind of unfaithful thing was too tasteless for him. Moreover, Cang Zhu had yet to tell Qin Yu the secret.

Cang Zhu did not forget about it, she was smart. She knew that the secret was the biggest guarantee for her safety. Qin Yu understood this and had initially wanted to find a chance to get her to talk. But who would have known that this woman would not be able to resist against the lure of the demon energy. She had almost…brought him down as well!

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu felt that with his personal experience, he should say something on behalf of men. Sometimes when they made mistakes, they should not be the ones to carry all the blame; the little goblins outside were really too attractive and as soon as they didn’t pay attention, they would go down the wrong path. Luckily, I am stable!

Ohhh —

He glanced at Cang Zhu and saw how her clothes were disheveled. The feeling of how soft she was when she rubbed against him filled his mind. Qin Yu’s heartbeat sped up…no, get rid of it…did you ask me why I am looking up? I just want to investigate the direction of cracks in the ceiling. Can’t I do that? Why am I covering my nose? Hehe, in such a deep crack, the air is stale and I cannot stand it. Can’t I do that? You really care about many things!

Finally, he managed to stabilize his emotions. Qin Yu thought for a moment and then rummaged through his treasure storage. He found a few pieces of clothing and threw them over Cang Zhu. He put many layers on her and even wrapped her entire head, leaving only a small hole for her to breathe.

This was much better.

He was not guilty as he was merely fulfilling the promise he made to her. On the other hand, this woman was too fickle. A while back she was telling him not to touch her, and in the next moment she was almost throwing herself at him.

Hehe, women cannot be trusted!

He reached out to carry her and was satisfied with how it felt. Qin Yu nodded as he carried her like he was carrying a huge birdcage and walked deeper in.

They had already gone so deep in they should have reached their destination. Did it really want him to spend the new year here? As if it had sensed the ridicule within Qin Yu, half a day later, a huge cave appeared in front of him.

It was very sudden. Just a moment ago, it was completely filled with dense fog. It was so dense that you would not be able to see your fingertips if you extended your hands out in front of you. But in a single step, it was as if he stepped into a separate ‘new world’ without any warning.

The mountain was big and all the caves in the mountain were big as well. It was simple logic.

But the truth was it was really really really very big. It was so big it resembled a limitless plain within a mountain. The demon energy fog was gone and the air was crisp and clear. Light shone down and there were large green trees as well as an endless meadow. There were all sorts of living things.

Qin Yu even saw some farmers in the field and at this moment he was staring at them.

There were no accidents or clashes. All the living creatures here were friendly and living harmoniously. They were also extremely enthusiastic. After their initial shock when they saw Qin Yu carrying an unconscious lady, they were extremely warm and greeted them with smiles.
