Volume 1: Phoenix Hidden in the Northern Domain Chapter 10: Unintentionally Getting Close (Revised)

  The lady smiled with a gentle smile, her eyes shining brightly, her cherry lips curved, as lovely as the peach blossoms of three springs, as pure and simple as the chrysanthemums of nine autumns.

  Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt an unprecedented surge of emotions: joy and tenderness, longing and tension, all mixed together in a way that made her heart flutter like thunder.

  He buried his face in her chest, his lips brushing against the soft skin, and at this moment, he was captivated by the faintly raised cherry lips. Soft as if it would melt with a little force, yet somehow like the most alluring poison that corrodes one's soul, making people irresistible.

  He had only intended to lightly touch, but now Cui Ling Yu discovered that he was even more eager than before. He had always followed his instincts, liking what he liked and disliking what he disliked, so this time not only did he not pull away, but instead continued to use his lips to gently caress, his tongue to lightly lick, and his teeth to nibble. His eyes were slightly narrowed, as if savoring the most delicious thing in the world.

  Tang Nian's eyes widened in surprise, a hint of confusion at the bottom of her eyes. What was this person doing? She didn't sense any malice, but instead saw a glimmer of treasuring in his eyes.

  Until the sound of green excitement and longing echoed in her mind, Tang Nianian suddenly realized that this was a great opportunity!

  Tang Nian didn't hesitate, tilting her head forward and opening her mouth just in time to let Shi Ling Gu's tongue, which was about to lick her lips, enter without noticing. Shi Ling Gu's body shook, his eyelids lifted, revealing those bright eyes, a wisp of dim light flashed by, and his lips and tongue stopped at her cherry lips, neither retreating nor moving.

  How can delicious food in front of you be left untouched!？

  Tang Nian wouldn't let go of any opportunity, taking advantage of the other party's lack of anger to eat as much as she could. Having made up her mind, Tang Nian turned a passive situation into an active one, and a satisfied smile spread across her face.

  The hands wrapped around her waist suddenly exerted force, almost crushing Tang Nian into the chest of flesh and blood in front of her. Tang Nian thought the other party was dissatisfied and prepared to shut up, but as soon as she retreated a little, she was pressed down by a large palm on the back of her head, and the tongue that had been quietly like a rabbit in her mouth suddenly turned into a fierce beast.

  Tang Nian's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she didn't resist at all as the other person entwined her. She swallowed harder, and in the end, Tang Nian perfectly embodied the phrases "inch by inch" and "insatiable". No longer content with just accepting what was given to her, she boldly entered the other person's mouth to take more, and the two became inseparable.

  "Hmm." Tang Nian's cheeks turned red, a strange sensation spreading throughout her body. But under the premise that her life was not in danger, she still wouldn't let go of even a moment of delicious food time, even if at this point she was already weak all over and could only rely on his body for support, refusing to leave.

  Cui Ling's eyes grew darker as she gazed at him, a surge of heat spreading uncontrollably throughout her body. This man had no idea how beautiful and alluring she was at this moment, and he was completely powerless to resist her in front of her.

  Two curved eyebrows seemed to frown yet not, a pair of eyes seemed joyful yet not, misty and hazy, two dimples flushed red, the nose tip had thin sweat beads.

  "Ahhh——" A thunder-like cry pierced through the sky, even shaking off the snow on the tree branches.

  Si Ling's eyes flickered, her chin tilted back, and she ended this kiss that could be called fierce.

  "Huh." Tang Nian's breathing was ragged, but her eyes remained fixed on Si Ling Gu Yun.

  Cui Ling's lone goose seemed to have let out a silent sigh, and then the hand placed on the back of her head exerted a slight force, pulling her face full of words into his embrace.

  "Are you going to stop?" Tang Nian asked, looking up from his arms with a disappointed expression.

  Ciling stood sideways, blocking others' line of sight, and asked: "Want it?"

  Tang Nian quietly calmed down, proactively asking for something that might be suspected of having an ulterior motive, and it would be difficult to get these things later. With a flicker of her eyes, Tang Nian didn't waste any opportunity to lick the remaining saliva on her lips with her tongue, and silently told Si Ling Gu Yun: "Whenever you want to do what just happened to me, I'll agree."

  Si Ling's eyes suddenly shrank, and he slightly averted his gaze, "Alright."

  Tang Nian's heart was filled with satisfaction, and she turned her head to look at the person who had just interrupted her good fortune. She saw that the bluish-green stone slab was covered with winding paths, surrounded by white snow and frost, and a vast expanse of plum blossom forest where the flowers were densely packed and blooming in profusion. The delicate pink and pure white blossoms swayed gently in the wind, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene. In front of the plum blossom forest stood four people, each with a different expression on their face. Among them, Zhao Tie was the most striking, his eyes wide open like a cow's, his mouth still agape, making it clear that he was the one who had just let out that ear-splitting shout.

  "I've seen the master and mistress." Shu Xiuzhu brushed her sleeve and bowed her head, her voice slightly pausing.

  The other three people woke up with a start and hastily bowed their heads in greeting.

  Siling Guhong carried Tang Niannian towards the plum forest and said: "Go have a meal."

  Tang Nian nodded.

  The four people who were left behind only lifted their heads and followed after him, several feet away. Zhao Tie stared at the master of his own estate, who was walking with someone in a tight embrace, as if to confirm whether he had been impersonated or not. After stuttering for a while, he let out a loud sigh and growled: "How did this happen? The master is the one who dislikes outsiders getting close to him the most, how did he end up in an embrace?"

  Shu Xiuzhu glanced at him faintly, gazing into the distance as his figure gradually disappeared into the plum forest. His face was solemn, "You should be wondering, why she and the young master are so close yet she didn't die."

  Zhao's eyes narrowed, a sharp glint flashed across his face, and he couldn't hide his shock. Song Junying tapped her white jade fan against the palm of her hand and continued, "Not only is he not dead, but he also hasn't suffered any injuries."

  After a while, Zhao Tie burst out laughing, "So to speak, we really brought back a mistress who can accompany the master all the time? Haha! Good! Good!"

  Shu Xiu, Zhu San and the other two looked at him simultaneously, then exchanged a glance, seeing the relief and comfort in each other's eyes. Even Li Jing's face showed a hint of visible smile.

  Everyone knows that Xueying Mountain Villa gathers the most beautiful things in the world, with countless treasures. This beauty refers to people, objects and scenery.

  Ten thousand plum blossoms bloom year-round, never wilting, amidst a blanket of pristine white snow. Petals fall, frost forms, and the scent wafts gently. Tang Nian sniffed, finding the fragrance in this plum grove similar to what she smelled on Si Ling Gu Yun's body, yet subtly different. The scent on Si Ling Gu Yun was lighter, clearer, as if emanating from within, imperceptible at first, but eventually seeping into one's soul.

  Zhu Miao had been waiting in Meilin for a long time, and when she saw the two figures, she clapped her hands and ordered someone to bring breakfast. When Si Ling Gu Yun held Tang Nian's hand and sat on a chair together, he handed over the snow jade cream he had brought, then personally lifted the lid of the breakfast plate, smiled at Tang Nian and said: "This breakfast is made according to the master's orders, specially tailored to your taste, madam. Would you like to try it?"

  Tang Nian looked at her and heard that she intentionally emphasized the mention of Situ Guhong in her words. Without thinking about anything else, he turned his head and said to Situ Guhong: "Thank you, Master Zhai, for your concern."

  Zhu Miao's eyes twitched at the corners. Although what he said wasn't wrong, somehow it still felt off, this expression and tone were too formal and polite.

  But...

  Zhu Miao gazed intently at the two people's lips, shocked and uncertain. No matter how you looked at it, they seemed to have been intimate before, but with the mistress leaning against the master so closely, there wasn't much of a problem, and it could still be passed off as nothing. However, if they had kissed without any issues, that would be completely unusual.

  Si Ling Gu Hong was applying medicine to her wrist. Upon hearing this, she paused and looked up at her before focusing on the medicine again, saying: "Gu Hong."

  "Huh?" Tang Nian asked in confusion.

  "Si Ling Gu Hong, my name." After applying the medicine, she put the Snow Jade Cream into her sleeve. Si Ling Gu Hong looked straight into her eyes and said softly, "Gu Hong, call my name."

  "Oh." Tang Nian nodded, calmly accepting his words. As she turned her gaze, she found him still looking at her, and although his expression hadn't changed, it made her feel a sense of obsession. What was this? Was he waiting for her to do something? Tang Nian carefully recalled their previous conversation, then suddenly realized, tentatively calling out, "Gu Huang?"

  "En, nian nian." Si Ling Gu Hong smiled.

  Tang Nian nodded calmly as he saw things settled.

  Beside her, Zhu Miao stood speechless, gazing up at the sky. She had always known that the master of the manor was not to be compared with ordinary people, but she hadn't expected that the mistress who was favored by the master would also be completely different from ordinary people. Was this really a case of "birds of a feather flocking together"?

  It's been a long time since I've seen the master smile, but after all, it's different, as long as the master is happy. Zhu Miao thought and smiled.
