Looking at Dugu Yan fainted in his arms like someone drunk, Shen Liuyu was a bit stunned, followed by huge confusion and helplessness.
Feeling the soft yet resilient body in his arms wriggling like a snake, Shen Liuyu's cheeks couldn't help but flush with a trace of crimson. He simply felt that today's temperature was truly a bit high.
Forcibly reining in his wandering thoughts, Shen Liuyu first viciously pinched his own thigh, then gave Dugu Yan two solid slaps, trying to wake the strangely behaving Dugu Yan.
"Hey, green-skinned snake… Dugu Yan? No, Sister Yan Yan, I'm begging you… If you can't beat me, don't pull this move. I only know how to fight, I don't know how to save people…"
Shen Liuyu helplessly held the clearly unconscious Dugu Yan in his arms. Gritting his teeth, he picked her up and erupted with the fastest speed of his life, rushing straight toward the small lake behind the academy…
…
With a "splash," Dugu Yan was ruthlessly thrown into the clear, ice-cold lake water by Shen Liuyu.
When this small lake was built, Shui Ning Bing had specially asked Shen Han Yu and the Snow Empress to each leave an ice-and-snow aura at the bottom that could be maintained for several years, keeping the lake water at a low temperature unbearable for ordinary people without freezing…
The specific reason for building it was unknown; anyway, few people usually came here.
Submerged in the lake water, Dugu Yan's entire body jolted. An indescribable chill invaded her from all directions, gradually pulling her somewhat blurred and sinking consciousness back bit by bit.
Realizing her current situation, Dugu Yan dazedly wiped the water from her face, brushed aside her messy hair, and then met Shen Liuyu's eyes on the shore in a big-eyed-to-small-eyed stare…
Shen Liuyu collapsed on the ground, panting heavily. Seeing Dugu Yan finally return to normal, he said excitedly:
"You're finally awake. If you can't beat someone, just say so. Why act like you've gone mad? You scared me to death…"
Dugu Yan's head was still a bit foggy. She tried hard to recall everything that had happened earlier. Then, her face, already pale from the lake water stimulation, suddenly turned bright red again, and steam even began rising from the top of her head…
Before Shen Liuyu on the shore could say anything more, two startled exclamations came from the side. Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling looked at the scene in front of them in shock, somewhat bewildered…
Shen Liuyu's eyes lit up. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Shui Bing'er's arm, and said:
"Bing… sister-in-law, Lingling, come quickly and help me take a look. What's wrong with Dugu Yan? She scared me just now…"
Shui Bing'er, eyes full of shock, patted Shen Liuyu's hand to tell her to slow down, then asked softly:
"First, tell us what happened. You two… how did you end up like this…"
Then, under Dugu Yan's increasingly incredulous and dazed gaze, Shen Liuyu rapidly explained the entire sequence of events in detail…
Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling's expressions grew stranger and stranger. Then, they slowly turned their heads together to look at Dugu Yan, who was still soaking in the lake water. Their gazes were odd, mixed with a hint of… melon-eating (gossip-watching) meaning?
Dugu Yan stared blankly at Shen Liuyu, her look making Shen Liuyu's scalp tingle. But then she accidentally choked on two more mouthfuls of water, her face growing even redder…
Shui Bing'er held her forehead, somewhat amused, and said:
"A-Yu, go fish her out. Also, remember to be… um, a bit gentler with her in the future…"
Shen Liuyu looked at Dugu Yan in the lake water, clearly somewhat exhausted, and nodded with a stiff head…
…
Time skipped to three days later.
Shen Han Yu lounged on a chair downstairs, his eyes drifting toward Dugu Bo, who remained seated cross-legged within the massive ice barrier that sealed off nearly all outside perception not far off. After quietly sensing the soul power fluctuations stirring in his own body, Shen Han Yu slowly rose to his feet. Upon stepping back inside, he found himself locking eyes with the Snow Empress seated on the sofa.
The Snow Empress asked softly:
"It looks like it's almost time, right?"
Shen Han Yu smiled lightly and nodded, then said:
"Pretty much. The final breakthrough should be in the next two days. But when old Dugu's martial soul evolves, the poison scattered outward probably won't be a small amount. Xue'er, remember to help me keep an eye on it later…"
The Snow Empress rolled her eyes at Shen Han Yu. That one glance back carried an allure that was still extremely damaging to him.
Shen Han Yu slowly sat down beside the Snow Empress. Before she could refuse, he directly pulled her into his arms and kissed her red lips.
The Snow Empress symbolically whimpered twice, then no longer resisted, allowing Shen Han Yu to do as he pleased.
Coming slowly down from upstairs, the first thing Shui Bing'er saw upon entering was this scene. She immediately froze, unsure whether to cover her eyes and peek or go back upstairs pretending she had seen nothing…
The Snow Empress's eyes trembled slightly with redness at the corners. She hurriedly tried to push Shen Han Yu away, but it was futile. Having gone without "meat" for a while, Shen Han Yu carried quite a bit of pent-up fire…
Shui Bing'er bit her lower lip hard. Between going upstairs and going downstairs, she chose the latter, and then went even further…
…
Shen Han Yu noticed the movement behind him. Turning his head, he saw Shui Bing'er standing there with a shy expression…
The Snow Empress's face also gained a trace of crimson. She hadn't expected Shui Bing'er to take the initiative to approach…
Shen Han Yu was stunned for a moment, then found it strange…
What was this… getting interrupted by the little darling while kissing the big darling?
There was a somewhat bizarre feeling in it…
But having encountered many big incidents, Shen Han Yu could still handle it calmly.
The Snow Empress struggled free from Shen Han Yu's arms and collapsed onto the soft cushion beside him. She let out a light humph, touched her somewhat swollen, tender lips, and looked at Shen Han Yu teasingly, waiting to see how he would handle it.
Shui Bing'er, meanwhile, looked at Shen Han Yu somewhat at a loss, clearly not understanding what she herself was doing.
Shen Han Yu's gaze swept strangely over the Snow Empress and Shui Bing'er. Then, with one motion, he pulled both the still-hesitating Shui Bing'er and the Snow Empress, who was preparing to watch the show, into his embrace.
Shui Bing'er let out a startled cry. The shyness on her face almost made her unable to lift her head. The Snow Empress showed a flash of astonishment, which then turned into shock and anger…
Shen Han Yu wrapped his arms around both their waists and chuckled lightly:
"Not bad, the feeling of embracing left and right is really quite nice…"
Shui Bing'er was too shy to speak and simply buried her head in Shen Han Yu's chest…
The Snow Empress let out a cold snort, then ruthlessly pinched the tender flesh at Shen Hanyu's waist. With an utterly flat, emotionless tone, she said:
"Then… do you want to do it like this tonight too…"
Shen Han Yu raised an eyebrow and replied:
"That would be exactly what I wish for…"
The Snow Empress gave him a fierce glare, then huffed angrily and leaned her head on Shen Han Yu's shoulder without speaking anymore. Clearly, she had been rendered both furious and helpless by his shamelessness…
Shui Bing'er quietly shifted her position a little, then raised her eyes to secretly glance at Shen Han Yu, only to meet his smiling gaze head-on…
…
There was a brief lapse in consciousness. When Shui Bing'er came back to her senses, she found the Snow Empress opposite her looking at her with a complicated and ashamed-angry expression. As for Shen Han Yu, he was still holding the same posture as before; only the amusement in his eyes could no longer be hidden.
Shui Bing'er touched her own lips, then looked at the Snow Empress across from her. Finally unable to hold back, she let out a startled cry. The skin exposed outside immediately flushed with crimson, and she froze in place in a daze.
The Snow Empress didn't know how to describe her current mood. She only knew that she seemed to have been mentally prepared, yet she still felt somewhat unaccustomed…
Shen Han Yu sighed lightly, then re-wrapped his arms around both their waists and said:
"Calm down a bit. Um… maybe I was a little too eager, but… getting used to it in advance is also good…"
Neither of the two responded. They simply lay quietly in Shen Han Yu's arms, their gazes somewhat vacant…
Shen Han Yu looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, then silently judged his own sometimes-high-sometimes-low self-control ability…
