After Li Mei helped him to wash up using the hot spring, she was now also helping him wear his clothes, assisting him in putting on a dashing gold and black robe that accentuated his golden eyes and black hair.
Right now, Huang Shi was staring at Li Mei in front of him as she arranged the seams on his robes and adjusted his collars before turning him around and combing his hair in front of the mirror.
Damn, this is awkward as hell.
Throughout the entire process, Li Mei didn't say a word, just opting to do her best to make sure that he looked as presentable as possible on his date while her fingers left soft touches on his neck and face.
Before long, she was done with her preparations as she stared at him through the mirror. Her face, despite her acting like nothing was happening, was blushing a bit as she admired his appearance.
Finally, after a few seconds of awkward silence, it was Li Mei who broke it first.
"Alright, I'm done. Good luck on your date."
Li Mei didn't say anything after that, instead just opting to stare at him with a neutral gaze, her thoughts unknown even to him.
Screw it… I'm the man in this relationship; I should take charge!
With this, he suddenly pulled Li Mei from behind him and sat her on his lap. Her expression changed from that of a stoic one to a look of surprise before his arms wrapped around her waist as he took a deep breath beside her neck, taking in her scent.
Li Mei shivered at the contact as her face flushed red, and yet, despite this, she still chose not to say anything, simply staring at his reflection through the mirror, waiting for him to speak.
After thinking through his thoughts for a few seconds, he finally spoke, breaking the silence.
"Are you worried?"
He felt Li Mei tremble in his arms, her eyes squinting. Despite her silence, he could tell that he was right, and yet for some reason, he felt like something was strange with her, so he wanted to check.
His right arm, which was currently holding onto her waist together with his left hand, suddenly moved from its previous position. As it rapidly went down her body, moving past her slim waist and touching her soft thighs before, suddenly, it was right in front of her slit.
Li Mei, in her shock, wasn't able to react as, all of a sudden, her complicated thoughts and feelings regarding the matter of his date were exposed.
Huang Shi grinned in satisfaction as he saw Li Mei squirm in his arms, trying to open her mouth to mount some form of defense, and yet the whispers in her ears made her go silent once more.
"You're wet? Are you turned on by the idea of me meeting another girl?"
Li Mei started to breathe heavily, her expression a mix between lust and anger as she grit her teeth, her reflection in the mirror clearly showcasing her confusion.
Slowly, Huang Shi started to rub her slit, softly whispering more words into her ears that made her breathing grow even rougher.
"It's gonna take a while before you see me sleep with her, Mei'er, so be patient, okay? Let me do my thing, and I promise you we'll all be lying in the same bed soon enough."
Li Mei once again struggled to find the words to say, as her thoughts had been replaced with lustful images of debauchery between her lover and his new girl.
However, after trying her best to ignore the sensations that were making her go insane from pleasure down below, she was finally able to speak properly—albeit barely.
"Y-you should g-go, you-you're gonna be l-late."
Huang Shi thought about it for a bit before eventually sighing in resignation as he let her go, lifting her off his lap and sitting her down on the chair before standing up himself and kissing her on the lips.
"Mhmm."
After around a minute of making out, he finally nodded his head and whispered in her ear one last time.
"Thanks for always being supportive, Mei'er. I promise things will be good for you in the future as well."
Li Mei looked like she was about to cry, as she felt like she was being teased by him by stopping halfway; yet, she knew that he had very little time left to leave for his date, and so she simply nodded her head and replied softly.
"I'll be waiting here for you later tonight."
With this, Huang Shi finally got his permission and was free to leave. He walked out of his estate with seemingly easy steps, as if he wasn't rushed at all, and yet the moment he passed through the now-fixed main door of his estate, he instantly disappeared from his position as he started to run.
RUMBLE
Flashing red lightning erupted all around his body, making his speed reach the fastest he was capable of as he did his best to run across the Azure Dragon Sect, his destination being the Information Hall.
Shit… I took so much time to make sure that Mei'er was pacified before I left that I have basically no time left. Fuck!
As he ran across the sect, a few people started to notice him.
They stopped whatever they were doing and stared in awe at their seemingly useless Third Young Master running at a speed that clearly wasn't possible for a cultivator simply at the peak of the 9th level of the Elementary Profound Realm.
"Is that Young Master Huang Shi? How is he so fast?"
"Could it be that the Young Master has found some sort of treasure that increases his speed?"
A bunch of people started to make speculations about his current strength and cultivation base because of his running speed; yet, because of his incredibly poor reputation, they were mostly convinced that he had obtained some type of special artifact from his father that increased his speed.
They didn't even consider that Huang Shi had once again made a substantial breakthrough and reached the Nascent Profound Realm!
