495. Prepare For The Offering

"Ah, mm~!"

The icy touch on Hu Liena's neck elicited a soft, alluring cry.

Her graceful body arched and twisted on the bed. She wore only a light pink crop top, which barely covered her chest, leaving her arms, shoulders, and slender waist exposed. Her snug shorts barely concealed her curves, and her long, smooth legs gleamed like polished jade.

Her movements were a feast for Qian Renjue's eyes.

Hu Liena bit down on her pacifier, a hint of white milk trickling from the corner of her mouth. Her long, seductive eyes snapped open, revealing a brief glint of coldness before it turned into delight upon recognizing the figure before her.

"Pop~"

The pacifier fell from her lips.

"Senior Brother?"

All traces of sleep vanished as Hu Liena eagerly stretched out her arms to embrace Qian Renjue.

"You're finally back!"

"I was only gone for a few days," Qian Renjue replied, his tone tinged with exasperation as he wrapped an arm around her slender waist.

"Senior Brother, haven’t you heard of 'a day apart feels like a year'?"

Hu Liena's voice softened into a seductive murmur, sweet as honey. Her legs coiled around his waist, her forehead resting against his. Her captivating eyes sparkled like stars, her breath carrying a faint, milky fragrance.

"Never heard of it," Qian Renjue replied bluntly.

"Senior Brother~"

Hu Liena pouted, her eyes filled with mock resentment as a seductive smile spread across her face. Her fox ears twitched, and her fluffy fox tail wrapped tightly around their bodies, drawing them closer together.

Her spirit rings glowed faintly as she took the initiative, pressing her lips against Qian Renjue's. A faint trace of milk smeared onto his lips as their kiss deepened.

"Senior Brother~ coming to my room so late at night… Are you hoping to share my bed?"

Qian Renjue's expression twitched as he gazed at her stunning, almost otherworldly face.

Her fox tail tightened, leaving no space between their bodies. Her ample chest pressed against him, the soft yet firm sensation testing his self-control.

Hu Liena's lips lingered as she excitedly explored the kiss. Yet, Qian Renjue's gaze remained calm. He made no move to resist but instead said lazily:

"Didn’t you want to see the 100,000-year spirit beast with me? Are you still interested, or not?"

"Uh—"

Startled, Hu Liena snapped out of her trance. Her thoughts of deepening the kiss evaporated instantly, along with her playful schemes.

Forcing a smile, she nodded eagerly. "Yes, of course, I want to go!"

"Then let go."

"Okay, I’ll let go of Senior Brother right away~"

Her cheeks flushed crimson, and as she reluctantly unwrapped herself, she couldn't resist sneaking in two more quick kisses and rubbing herself against him.

"Too slow."

Qian Renjue rolled his eyes, his patience wearing thin. Without warning, his figure vanished.

"Ah!"

Hu Liena cried out in surprise as she hugged empty air, flailing as she began to fall.

But before she hit the ground, Qian Renjue reappeared behind her. Grabbing the back of her collar, he lifted her effortlessly.

"Ah—!"

Hu Liena's body spun through the air, the room's ceiling and bed alternating in her view until—

Thud!

Her soft figure landed squarely on the mattress.

"Mm~"

Lying face down on the bed, Hu Liena caught her breath, her heart still racing as Qian Renjue's disgruntled voice reached her ears:

"Next time, don’t offer me anything. I’m already weaned—"

Before he could finish, he swallowed a faintly sweet taste lingering in his mouth. He wiped the white trace from the corner of his lips with a sigh and left the room after issuing a few instructions.



"Hurry up and get dressed, bring Xiao Fei Die with you. I'm in a rush," Qian Renjue said.

"Got it, naughty Senior Brother~" Hu Liena replied in her sultry voice.

She propped her chin on her hands, inhaling the lingering warmth in the room, a dreamy smile on her face.

Thankfully, Qian Renjue had exercised restraint and hadn’t hurt her.

Weaned? So what?

Who doesn’t wean eventually? Besides, it’s not like this pacifier wasn’t a gift from Senior Brother.

Unconcerned, Hu Liena picked up the pacifier, placed it back between her lips, and sucked gently, closing her eyes in satisfaction.

It's a family heirloom, after all. It never runs out.

With swift movements, Hu Liena got dressed while Qian Renjue made his way to the master bedroom.

The room was dimly lit.

Bibi Dong lay on the bed, her flawless curves barely hidden beneath the blanket.

Supporting her head with one jade-like hand, she turned to face Qian Renjue. Her half-closed eyes glimmered faintly in the light as she gazed at her dear son.

"Mom, you're awake," Qian Renjue greeted with a slightly apologetic smile as he approached.

Bibi Dong yawned lazily and glanced at him. "I thought some shameless thief had broken in."

"How could that be? There’s no one bold enough to steal from here," Qian Renjue replied with an awkward chuckle.

"Is that so?"

Bibi Dong’s beautiful eyes fully opened, her voice low and teasing. "Weren’t you just sneaking around in Hu Liena’s room?"

"Uh…" Qian Renjue's face froze, guilt written all over it.

"Enough, your mom forgives you," Bibi Dong said, a slight smirk playing on her lips. She turned onto her back, lying comfortably under the blanket.

"Did you rush back because everything is settled?" she asked.

"Yes, I’ve made the arrangements. We can proceed with the offering directly," Qian Renjue replied, relieved. He walked over, picked up Bibi Dong’s clothes, and prepared her shoes.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Help your mom up," Bibi Dong teased, extending her hand out of the blanket.

"Alright."

Qian Renjue sighed and leaned down to take her arm.

Not long after, Hu Liena stood outside the room with Xiao Fei Die, both neatly dressed and waiting patiently.

Click!

The door opened.

Qian Renjue stepped out, holding a pair of high heels in one hand while carrying his mother on his back.

"Senior Brother— Teacher?"

Hu Liena paused, startled, her earlier eagerness momentarily replaced with hesitation.

Bibi Dong rested her head lazily on Qian Renjue’s shoulder, her eyes half-closed. She remained silent, feigning sleep.

"Good evening, Teacher and Grandmaster," Xiao Fei Die greeted sweetly.

"Evening," Qian Renjue replied with a smile, adjusting the weight of his mother on his back. "Nana, hold on to Xiao Fei Die tightly. We’re leaving now."

"Understood," Hu Liena nodded, taking Xiao Fei Die’s hand and holding onto Qian Renjue’s sleeve.

Swish!

The Evil God Hook appeared, and behind him, Bibi Dong opened her eyes, biting her lips in silence as they disappeared into the dark vortex.

Star Dou Forest - Lake of Life

Er Ming, the Titan Giant Ape, lay by the lakeside, struggling to sleep. The feeling of its life nearing its end weighed heavily on its heart.

Suddenly, the space around the lake rippled, and a pitch-black vortex slowly formed, like the tolling of a death knell.

Er Ming’s eyes snapped open, locking onto the swirling black portal.

Qian Renjue stepped out, Hu Liena and Xiao Fei Die following closely behind. Bibi Dong’s face was slightly flushed with embarrassment.

"The air is so fresh here," Hu Liena remarked, taking a deep breath as she gazed at the serene lake.

"Ah! Teacher! Such a massive spirit beast!" Xiao Fei Die exclaimed in fright, quickly hiding behind Hu Liena.

"Roar!"

Er Ming let out a low growl.

Though a little tense, Hu Liena soon recognized the massive creature before them.

"A 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape?" Bibi Dong murmured softly.
