Chapter 452: Qin Bufan, Qin Guan, and the Qin Clan

She's naked underneath?!

Ye Guan's blood boiled at the revelation, and his veins bulged to the extent that Ye Guan felt as though they were about to burst. In the end, Ye Guan failed to withstand the temptation and flipped over, pressing Cizhen beneath him. Their lips soon found each other as they kissed passionately.

Ye Guan was like a wild beast that had just been released, but who could blame him?

Cizhen’s eyes widened, and her mind went blank as Ye Guan kissed her passionately. However, Ye Guan seemed dissatisfied with just a kiss, and his right hand embarked on an adventure. Ye Guan found that Cizhen hadn't lied—she was indeed naked underneath her thin clothes.

Ye Guan was about to take their intimacy to the next level when Cizhen suddenly rolled away and turned her back to him.

“I want to sleep," she muttered.

What?

Ye Guan was utterly bewildered.

She wants to sleep?

Undeterred and bewildered, Ye Guan decided to pull Cizhen into a gentle embrace, and he felt her tremble beneath the warmth of his own body. Cizhen lowered her head and repeated, “I want to sleep.”

After a long while, Ye Guan slowly withdrew his hands and closed his eyes.

The entire room became silent.

Cizhen eventually turned around and locked eyes with Ye Guan.

“Are you angry?” Cizhen asked.

Ye Guan shook his head and hugged her gently, saying, “I'm not angry.”

Cizhen did a double take at him and asked, “Why not?”

Ye Guan kissed her forehead gently and confessed, “Because I like you...”

This wasn't Ye Guan's first confession to Cizhen, but this time, he was completely sincere. Cizhen also noticed the stark difference, and her stubborn heart quivered, seemingly wavering in the face of Ye Guan's sincerity.

Ye Guan continued, “I know that you're not the type to take things casually, but the fact that you're willing to be this close to me means that you have feelings for me.

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have allowed me to take advantage of you like this. Am I right?”

Cizhen stared silently at Ye Gun for a long while before burying her head into his chest without replying to Ye Guan's question.

Ye Guan wrapped his arms around her and said, “Go to sleep.”

“I did it on purpose. Are you not angry that I tempted you on purpose, only to deprive you of release?” Cizhen asked.

"Ye Guan shook his head and replied, “I like you for your company, not because I just want to do that with you. I'm happy enough that I get to hug you like this."

Cizhen smiled sweetly as a warm feeling filled her chest. Then, she hugged Ye Guan tightly and said, “I like this feeling, too.”

“Sister Zhen. Are you going to live forever?” Ye Guan asked.

"You can say that," Cizhen replied, smiling, "Why do you ask?"

Ye Guan sighed softly and confessed, "I'm scared."

Puzzled, Cizhen asked, "Scared of what?"

"Of dying..." Ye Guan muttered. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently before continuing, "I'm afraid that no one will love you as intensely as I did once I'm gone."

Cizhen froze in surprise. Moments later, she came to her senses and pulled Ye Guan in for a kiss. The two hugged each other so tightly that not even a piece of paper could fit in between them. A long while later, Ye Guan felt a sharp pain shooting through his lips, prompting him to look at Cizhen in confusion.

“Sister Zhen, why did you bite me?” asked Ye Guan.

Cizhen shot him a playful glare and said, “You tried to sweet talk me, and I almost fell for it.”

Ye Guan smiled, but he chose to remain silent.

"What's up with that smile?" Cizhen asked.

Ye Guan chuckled and said, "You're undeniably one of the strongest individuals in this vast expanse. I can fool others, but it's impossible for me to fool you."

Cizhen stared intently at Ye Guan and examined his face. Ye Guan's handsome face at the moment was tinged with tenderness and affection, and his eyes radiated a particularly intense light of the same emotions.

Cizhen's heart started to beat faster against her chest at the realization, but she still lowered her head and muttered, "What is it about me that you like? I'm Little Shu and Little Jing’s big sister, so it's inappropriate for us to have that kind of relationship."

Hearing that, Ye Guan instantly realized that Cizhen had been facing a dilemma all this while. It made sense why she often talked about how they needed a bigger bed to accommodate everyone in the future.

Ye Guan thought that she was just jesting, but it seemed that he was completely wrong. It turned out that Cizhen was in a dilemma about how her sisters would react once they discovered that they were in

that

kind of relationship.

It also explained why she turned around earlier at the critical juncture. Cizhen had a carefree facade, but she was actually a conservative girl inside. Moreover, Cizhen's feelings for her sisters were above all else.

Ye Guan hugged Cizhen and said, "Sister Zhen, I have a suggestion. What do you think of this arrangement? On odd days, I'll be with them; on even days, I'll be with you. What do you think? It sounds great, right?"

Cizhen shot Ye Guan a disdainful glare and said, “In your dreams.”

Cizhen then looked away and closed her eyes.

Ye Guan smiled and pulled her close without saying anything. At first, he was at peace and was even starting to fall asleep. However, his eyes shot wide open upon recalling a crucial fact.

Cizhen wasn't wearing anything underneath her thin clothes.

Perhaps influenced by the Mad Demon Bloodline, Ye Guan's hand began moving, but Cizhen remained quiet. Cizhen's silence made Ye Guan become even more audacious, and his finger grazed over Cizhen's bouncy skin, tracing a haphazard trail beneath her clothes.

Cizhen remained motionless and quiet. Just as Ye Guan's hand was about to slip into the valley, he noticed an unusual activity on a certain region of his body and decided to stop. Ye Guan shook his head and soon made up his mind—he would suppress the Mad Demon Bloodline once he became strong enough to do so.

Mad Demon Bloodline screamed inside Ye Guan,

you're the same as your ancestors! The three generations of your family are all the same blame-shifting brutes!

The Mad Demon Bloodline had never felt so wronged. Its master had seized all the good things, while it had to take the blame. At this rate, it might as well rename itself the Scapegoat Bloodline.

Having shifted the blame onto the Mad Demon Bloodline, Ye Guan decided to continue, but his eyes widened the moment he looked down. Cizhen was staring right at him.

Ye Guan wanted to speak, but Cizhen grabbed his hand and guided him into her clothes. Ye Guan's mind went blank as Cizhen pushed his hand against her skin and dragged his head into her chest.

“If you want to touch, just go for it. There's no need to hesitate, do you understand?”

Ye Guan’s spirits soared. Then, his hands moved freely and unbridled.

There was a popular phrase[1] that went—a scholar in an embroidered robe once climbed two towering peaks as pure as snow and reminiscent of jade. The scholar's jade was warm, soft, and without bone, but the scholar thrust it toward the heavens, hoping that it would hold up the sky between the fair fairy's thighs.

...

The night proved to be a challenge for Ye Guan. He had been given the green light to do many things, but there were some things he was forbidden from doing. Ye Guan was caught between desire and restraint, which made the night torturous.

Ye Guan navigated on the thin line between torture and pleasure to survive the night.

Cizhen’s eyes opened slowly at daybreak.

Moments later, Cizhe realized something and blushed.

"You're awake?" Ye Guan asked just then.

Cizhen nodded, and a shy smile tugged at her lips. “Yes.”

Ye Guan patted Cizhen's bottom playfully and chuckled. “Time to get up, then!”

Ye Guan got up and headed to the bathroom for a cold shower.

Watching Ye Guan rush to the bathroom, Cizhen’s lips curled up. Although nothing particularly embarrassing had occurred last night, they had still been quite intimate, which made Cizhen feel like she had no face to face Ye Guan.

Eventually, Cizhen tidied herself up and headed to the kitchen, preparing two bowls of noodles in no time.

Ye Guan changed into a white robe and walked out of the bathroom. Ye Guan secured his long hair with a rubber band; his dignified appearance made him look both refreshing and elegant.

Cizhen couldn't help but smile while staring at Ye Guan. “Eat!”

Ye Guan nodded and took a seat from across Cizhen.

Cizhen still appeared slightly disheveled, and her clothes were messy, which revealed a bit too much skin on her chest area. If Ye Guan were to stand up and look down, he would catch a glimpse of two towering peaks as pure as snow.

Perhaps it was because Cizhen had just woken up, but she seemed too groggy to do anything. However, Cizhen's groggy appearance made her emit a unique charm in Ye Guan's eyes, and he suddenly felt like embracing her.

Sensing Ye Guan’s gaze, Cizhen smiled and asked, “What are you looking at?”

Ye Guan chuckled. “You're beautiful!”

Cizhen laughed and said, “Just hurry up and eat.”

Ye Guan nodded and shifted his attention to the noodles in front of him. He demolished the bowl of noodles and looked at Cizhen, saying, “I'm heading out now, Sister Zhen.”

“All right,” Cizhen acknowledged.

Ye Guan nodded and stood up to leave when Cizhen called out, “Wait!”

Ye Guan turned around to face her.

Cizhen walked up to Ye Guan and adjusted his collar for him.

“Nice, you're all set!” Cizhen said, smiling.

Ye Guan embraced her right there and then; Cizhen offered no resistance and instead rested her head on his shoulder, whispering, "We should have a get-together these days.”

“Sure,” Ye Guan said, nodding.

“Go ahead,” Cizhen said with a smile.

Ye Guan released her and kissed her forehead gently before turning around to leave.

Cizhen smiled and looked out the window. It was only when she saw Ye Guan entering a taxi that she sat down in front of her desk and continued writing.

Ye Guan took out his phone and called someone.

Soon, a cold voice echoed from the other end of the line. “Who's this?”

“Miss Xizhi, it's me,” Ye Guan said.

Qin Xizhi sounded a bit surprised. “Mr. Ye?”

"Yes, it's me," Ye Guan said, “I would like to visit you today. Is that okay?”

"Certainly, I'll send someone to pick you up," Qin Xizhi exclaimed.

Ye Guan responded, "I'm already in a taxi, so just give me an address."

"Just tell the driver to go to North County," Qin Xizhi replied.

"All right," Ye Guan acknowledged and ended the call. Then, he looked up at the taxi driver in front of him and said, "Head to North County, please."

The taxi driver glanced at Ye Guan and smiled. "Sure."

Ye Guan gazed out of the window. He had chosen to take a taxi rather than fly on his sword, and it was all for the sake of admiring the scenery of the city.

Ye Guan realized that he had adapted to the lifestyle here. This place was nice, and he wasn't living a life at a breakneck pace. In fact, he felt like an ordinary person here. Ye Guan felt reluctant to return to his brutal days, but he knew that he would soon have to return.

The Eternal Sovereign would soon arrive at the Milky Way, after all.

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed, and his gaze became cold.

Half an hour later, the taxi came to a stop.

"We're here," said the taxi driver.

Ye Guan nodded, paid the fare, and got out of the car.

He saw Qin Xizhi as soon as he alighted.

Qin Xizhi was wearing a light green dress, which made her give off a gentle and amiable air. Qin Xizhi walked up to Ye Guan with a slight smile and greeted, "Mr. Ye."

Ye Guan smiled. "I hope I haven't troubled you."

Qin Xizhi shook her head and replied, "Not at all. It is our honor to receive Mr. Ye."

Qin Xizhi had witnessed Ye Guan's strength, and she knew that he could only be a legendary cultivator. However, Qin Xizhi reckoned that he wasn't just a cultivator but a cultivator with immense power. The Qin Clan had naturally decided to treat him well with that in mind, even though they had a deep foundation like the Yang Family.

Qin Xizhi led Ye Guan into the Qin Residence. The Qin Residence was massive, and the entire residence gave off an ancient vibe, making it obvious to just about anyone that the clan had a deep history.

Qin Xizhi stared curiously at Ye Guan as they walked down the paved path. She could sense that Ye Guan was interested in the Qin Clan. Could it be that Ye Guan's ancestors had a connection with the Qin Clan?

Qin Xizhi was confused upon seeing Ye Guan looking around with curiosity.

I wonder if Mother once lived here,

Ye Guan thought as he looked around. Just then, he came to a halt upon sensing something. He frowned and turned around to find a large dog in the courtyard. The dog was huge—much larger than a typical dog, and the dog was staring intently at Ye Guan.

Is it a demonic beast?

Ye Guan was confused, as the dog's cultivation base was surprisingly high. Ye Guan was shocked to discover that such a powerful demonic beast was residing here.

The large dog started walking toward Ye Guan.

Qin Xizhi's expression changed drastically at the sight, and she hurriedly said, "Ancestor Howling Heavens! This is Mr. Ye, and he's an esteemed guest—"

Qin Xizhi couldn't even finish her sentence as Howling Heavens ignored her and walked up to Ye Guan. Then, Howling Heavens squatted and rubbed its head affectionately against Ye Guan's feet.

Qin Xizhi froze on the spot and was at a complete loss for words.
