Gu Chen didn’t know how long he slept for; he felt like years had passed in his sleep, but it was impossible since he couldn’t sleep for years anymore.
He slowly opened his eyes as his consciousness returned.
’Hm?’ Gu Chen suddenly felt something was wrong as he woke up.
A hand was wrapped around his waist, and a pair of softness pressed on his back; he could feel warm breathing on his neck, and the sweet scent from yesterday filled his nose.
It was Feng Shuran, and she was hugging him in her sleep!
Gu Chen "..."
Why was he the one getting spooned? Shouldn’t it be the other way round?
’No, that’s not right. Why is she here?’ Gu Chen quickly came to his senses. He moved Feng Shuran’s hand from his waist...or at least he tried to.
But as if feeling that he was about to get away, Feng Shuran’s slender arm pulled him even closer while she was still sleeping.
With her Nascent Soul Realm strength, there was no way Gu Chen could fight back, and he was helplessly pulled closer into his little spoon position.
"Mm, a little bit more." Feng Shuran mumbled in her sleep, her lips almost touching the back of his neck.
Gu Chen "..."
He felt violated and embarrassed, a faint blush already covering his face despite his hard expression.
And his expression wasn’t the only thing hard!
"Feng Shuran," Gu Chen called out in a deep tone.
Since he couldn’t get up on his own, he had to wake her up so she could release him!
Thankfully, hearing his voice actually woke Feng Shuran up from her sleep.
Her beautiful eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes, her crimson eyes landing on the back of Gu Chen’s head with a gentle stare.
"Good morning, Master. You’re awake," she whispered in a soft tone, feeling refreshed after a good night’s rest.
Cultivators didn’t need to sleep, as meditating felt like sleeping. But when she returned from fixing the formation yesterday, she saw her master sleeping soundly on the bed, and she felt enlightened.
Even though he was so powerful, he still did things that only ordinary people needed to do. Maybe that was why he was so charming.
Feng Shuran had studied Gu Chen’s face for almost an hour yesterday while he was sleeping. She was almost convinced that he was an ordinary person, but she knew that thought was wrong.
Her Master was just so extraordinary that he was able to confuse her even in his sleep!
So, without hesitation, she took off her robe and joined him in bed!
Yes, Feng Shuran currently only had a thin undergarment on while big spooning Gu Chen.
"Yes, I’m awake, now take your hand away." Gu Chen said seriously.
"Ah, sorry about that, Master!" Feng Shuran exclaimed and took her hand from Gu Chen’s waist, but a mischievous smile remained on her lips.
She wasn’t sorry and would even do it again!
As for why she apologised, she thought her Master had waited for her to wake up instead of pushing her hands away.
’How gentle,’ she thought as she watched him get up from the bed.
Gu Chen stood up and turned around, wanting to ask why the woman was in his bed. But he froze when his eyes landed on her.
Feng Shuran was in a one-piece thin garment that only covered up to her thighs. She didn’t tie the ribbon around the garment’s waist length, so the middle section was open, letting Gu Chen see one of her breasts, her flawless belly, and down to the area under her belly button.
Feng Shuran obviously knew this but didn’t even bother covering herself when she saw that he was turning around.
Immediately he saw this, his morning wood that was already making his robe stick out throbbed wildly, pulling Feng Shuran’s attention towards it.
It couldn’t be helped; Gu Chen couldn’t control the various muscles in his body anymore.
A charming smile formed on Feng Shuran’s face. She supported her head with her left hand, causing her body to rise and one side of the garment to fall, completely exposing that side of her body while her crimson eyes stared at the curve in Gu Chen’s robe.
"What’s that, Master?" She asked in a teasing tone, her long legs folding slightly.
"!!!!"
Gu Chen could feel his blood rushing; this woman was doing this on purpose!
Forgetting why she came into his bed in the first place, Gu Chen turned around and rushed out of the room.
He had no idea where he was supposed to go, but this was his mountain; he could go anywhere! As long as Feng Shuran wasn’t there.
Gu Chen’s heart was racing as he left the courtyard. He already knew that Feng Shuran was in love with him, so her actions were understandable. He also liked her, but Gu Chen didn’t want to take that step.
A Nascent Soul Realm and an ordinary person? What if she used too much strength during sex and destroyed his pelvis?
He totally couldn’t risk it even though Feng Shuran was a charming woman.
Back in the room, Feng Shuran was still on the bed, in the same position she was in when Gu Chen left.
The door was open, and the courtyard reflected in her eyes, a smile on her face as Gu Chen’s flustered face stuck to her mind.
"Master really loves to act like an ordinary person," she mumbled before looking down while stretching her legs again.
At the area below her waist, a small spot on the bed had become wet.
...
Some time later, Gu Chen could be seen soaking in the shallow area of a lake. He had found this lake not far away from his courtyard and decided to take a bath.
The water was cold and just nice to cool off the heat from the earlier embarrassment; his morning wood had also calmed down.
Ripples spread over the surface of the lake from Gu Chen’s position as he just sat there, staring at a few butterflies that were hovering around a bunch of flowers nearby.
Gu Chen couldn’t remember the last time he had the chance to observe things like this; he had been too busy doing missions for his previous master and the alliance that he didn’t even have a relationship.
"Sigh," he sighed and was about to sink into the water when the sky suddenly changed.
Rumble!
Thunder rolled as a fierce wind suddenly started to blow. It was clearly morning, but a part of the sky had turned dark as a vortex twisted into existence.
It was just like when Feng Shuran had transcended her tribulation, but this one was different. Not only was it so big that everyone in Oghara could see it, but Gu Chen knew what it meant.
A natural magical treasure had appeared!
Natural magical treasures were several times stronger than others of the same rank that were crafted by cultivators, even matching some magical treasures of upper ranks depending on the type.
Whenever one formed, it would attract a lightning tribulation. This was a way of strengthening itself and notifying cultivators in the region of its appearance.
Judging by the size of the vortex, that magical treasure should be at the Heavenly-grade at the very least, if not the Immortal grade!
