After a few hours of lovemaking and punishments, with Li Mei being forced into exhaustion, the session between him and his lover finally concluded just as the sun started to set on the horizon.
Currently, Li Mei was lying on her lover's chest, cuddling into him with affection as her eyes looked up into his face with soft gentleness. However, all of a sudden, a flash of annoyance appeared in her eyes as she softly bit into his shoulder.
"Ah... Mei'er, what are you doing? Could it be that you are still angry at me?"
Huang Shi grimaced in pain, yet he didn't stop her, as he knew what this action was about.
I thought I did well enough to make her forget about Xinyue for a while... guess I still have to talk about it in detail.
Seeing the look in her lover's eyes, Li Mei stopped biting him and instead opened her mouth and licked the bite mark softly, as if trying her best to make up for the pain she had caused.
After a few moments, she finally laid her head back down on his chest, her thighs hugging his waist and her arms wrapped around his body. This time, she moved slightly, lying on top of him instead of at his side, her ample breasts pressing into him from above.
"Was it true, what you said?"
He heard Li Mei ask the question, softly feigning calm, but he could sense the slight tremble in her voice.
"About what?"
Huang Shi moved his fingers across her face, his other hand roaming across her exquisite form as if in worship, slowly making contact with her back and moving downward.
"When you said you didn't touch her, was it true?"
Huang Shi stopped his wandering hands for a bit, looking his lover in the eyes before softly kissing her forehead.
"Of course. Why would I lie to you?"
Li Mei felt a warmth in her chest at his loving gesture, and yet she still acted unconvinced as she pouted, her fingers tracing circles on his chest.
"But why? I know that you aren't the type of man to hold himself back if given permission. Was there some other reason as to why you didn't touch her?"
Huang Shi thought about this problem for a few minutes, trying to find a way to explain the concept of the age of consent to her without sounding like some sort of weirdo, before finally opening his mouth.
"I don't like the idea of sleeping with people below a certain age. I want it so that when I make a move on a woman, she already has the ability to think for herself and make decisions on her own, knowing exactly what she is getting herself into when she is dealing with a pervert like me."
Li Mei looked a bit surprised as she stared into her lover's golden eyes before suddenly giving a teasing smile.
"So basically, you don't like younger women?"
Huang Shi suddenly paused as his mouth twitched, before nodding his head with a bit of exasperation.
"I guess you could say that. I like them more mature."
Even though he felt like it was an extreme oversimplification of the concept, Huang Shi didn't care. This was because, in the world of cultivation, past a certain level, the ages of cultivators really didn't matter; what mattered more was the level of cultivation.
A one-hundred-year-old man and a three-thousand-year-old woman, both at the Sky Profound Realm, could easily develop a relationship as equals without any problems since their strength is at a similar level.
I'm probably the only person in this entire world who is thinking about these sorts of things...
Regardless, even if he had already transmigrated into this world and had an entirely different identity, he was still a person from Earth at his core, and so he still kept some of their values.
Li Mei, on the other hand, finally felt as if her worries had been lifted. She happily laid her head down on his chest, planting small kisses on him and showing him just how much she had missed him.
After a few minutes of maintaining this comfortable silence—with Huang Shi roaming his hands across his lover's body and Li Mei lying on his chest—she finally looked up a bit and asked another question.
"So, what happened after you were ambushed by those cultivators from the Disciplinary Hall? The last message you sent was that you and Bai Xinyue were recuperating in the log cabin. What happened after that?"
Huang Shi paused for a bit, trying to determine whether or not it would be a good idea to tell his lover the truth about his sudden separation from Bai Xinyue. He felt a stir at his chest as he saw Li Mei lying back down, kissing his neck softly.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. As long as you don't abandon me, my Shi'er can do whatever he wants."
Huang Shi's heart felt warmth, and his expression became even more soft and gentle as he leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips.
"It's fine, I can tell you. It's just… there are certain things that I can't say. Not because I don't want to... but because we are too weak."
Li Mei suddenly paused and quickly looked up at him, seeing the look of apprehension on her lover's face.
"Is it that serious?"
He nodded his head, his fingers tightening around her soft behind, signaling his inner anxiety.
"That's right. At our level, if we try to even talk about that person, that person will find out... so there are certain things that I can't say."
Li Mei went silent for a few seconds, as if she were thinking about something, before finally giving a soft smile and lying back down on his chest.
"It's fine... don't tell me. If it's that dangerous, I'd rather not know. When my lover is strong enough... there won't be anyone who can stop him from telling me anything I want anyway."
