Chapter 745: Indecent Thoughts
"Good night, darling." Chu Liuxiang snuggled beside Yuan when it was time to sleep.
"Night."
After a moment of silence, Chu Liuxiang spoke again, "Can I embrace you while I sleep tonight?"
"Of course."
"Thank you."
Chu Liuxiang wrapped her arms around him and closed her eyes.
Despite her urges to strip nȧkėd and procreate with Yuan, she did not want to ruin the peaceful moment right now. Furthermore, now that she is no longer with the Chu Family, she does not have to rush to make a family with him.
Of course, that is not to say her dėsɨrė to make a family has lowered. In fact, her dėsɨrė to make a family with Yuan is now more intense than ever after what he'd done for her today.
However, now that she has the time to build a relationship with him properly, she wants to take things slowly and more naturally, which wasn't possible before when she was restricted by the Chu Family.
Chu Liuxiang quickly fell asleep while hugging Yuan, but Yuan himself was having trouble sleeping.
'Why is my body reacting like this now?' Yuan sighed inwardly as he could feel the area between his legs getting hotter and hotter.
'Is it because of Lulu? But this hasn't happened before…'
In this dead silent room, Yuan's sense of smell and touch increased, and with Chu Liuxiang so close to him, he could only focus on her soft body and sweet body aroma.
Due to circumstances in the Yu Family that forced him to live like a slave, he never had the proper chance to grow up, nor did they teach him anything about puberty.
However, now that he's away from the Yu Family and is living life normally, his halted growth is finally showing signs of progression.
One can say that Yuan is currently going through puberty, and it is progressing faster than normal due to his incarnations' memories, not to mention the fact that he is always surrounded by beautiful women that could easily trigger mens' beastly nature.
'After doing that thing with Meixiu, my mind cannot help but have weird thoughts that I never had before. Am I going crazy?'
Even now, Yuan has this strong dėsɨrė to touch Chu Liuxiang's body for some reason, as well as wanting to 'do it' with her, but he cannot comprehend why he was having such inappropriate thoughts.
The sensation of Chu Liuxiang's soft skin, the sweet smell her body was emitting— Yuan's urge to touch Chu Liuxiang grew with every second.
Fortunately, he has mastered self-control after enduring so much bullshit from the Yu Family, allowing him to resist his urges. If it was anybody else in his shoes right now, they would've long submitted to their urges and acted upon his dėsɨrės.
He also tried to cultivate to calm down, but he was unable to clear his mind, so he had to stop.
Eventually, Yuan gave up and had to spend the entire night controlling his urges.
And just when he was beginning to fall asleep, the digital clock's alarm began beeping, signaling that it was almost sunrise.
"Is it already morning? I had such a good sleep that it felt so short. How was your sleep?" Chu Liuxiang woke up shortly after the alarm, but it was not the noise that woke her up— it was because Yuan had to get out of her embrace to leave the bed.
"I couldn't sleep." Yuan said with a bittersweet smile.
"Is it because of what happened yesterday? Don't think too much about it. You did nothing wrong," she said.
"Although I had a lot of things on my mind that prevented me from sleeping, it wasn't because of what happened yesterday." He shook his head.
"Oh? Then what was on your mind?" Chu Liuxiang looked at him with her interest piqued.
"D-Don't worry about it. It was mostly random stuff about Cultivation Online." Yuan did not hesitate to lie.
After all, he couldn't tell her that he'd spent all night trying to resist his urges to touch her. That would definitely weird her out and make him sound like a weirdo.
"Even if it's insignificant, I want to hear about it." Chu Liuxiang insisted.
"…"
Yuans silently faced Chu Liuxiang for a moment before suddenly speaking in a surprised voice, "Oh! Look at the time! I need to hurry up or I will be late to meet the Lord! See you later, Lulu!"
Yuan quickly changed out of his pajamas before rushing out of the room, leaving Chu Liuxiang speechless.
"Why is he acting so weird?" She mumbled to herself before going back to sleep.
Many minutes later, Yuan noticed the Manager's presence and immediately used divine sense for confirmation.
"Good morning, Manager." Yuan greeted her with a respectful bow.
"Let's go. The Lord is waiting for you." She said to him before turning around and walking back without stopping.
Yuan immediately followed behind her.
As they walked to the upper levels, they walked past the Chu Family's gates, which gave off a different feeling than yesterday.
About an hour later, they arrived at the peak of the mountain, and to Yuan's surprise, there was a thick fog before him that could not be seen even at the upper levels, almost as though this fog had mysteriously appeared the moment they reached the peak.
"We're almost there. Follow closely behind me or you'll get lost in the clouds." The Manager said before walking into the fog that turned out to be clouds.
'Clouds? Is the mountain even tall enough to reach the clouds?' Yuan wondered to himself since he didn't recall the mountain being this tall, and he followed right behind the Manager.
Upon entering the fog, Yuan sensed a sudden change in the atmosphere, and this sensation gave him a nostalgic feeling for some reason.
'What is this feeling…? It's like I have been here before…' Yuan thought to himself as he continued to follow the Manager.
