“Oh.” Pei Chuyun responded robotically, yet she remained standing there without moving.

Lu Xingzhou laughed, “What is it again?”

Pei Chuyun hesitated for a moment, then looked up at him with a hint of expectation, “Is there more poetry? For this night of light rain.”

There was plenty of poetry just then.

However, Lu Xingzhou didn’t recite any. He just pointed to his own face.

Pei Chuyun’s face flushed slightly. She looked around like a thief, as if checking whether A Nuo was secretly watching.

Then she quickly stood on tiptoes and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Her eyes sparkled brightly, and she said with a hint of childishness, “I kissed you, quick, quick.”

Lu Xingzhou said, “I feel there’s a line that suits you quite well.”

“Which line?”

“’In free flying flower light like dream, boundless silk rain fine like sorrow.’” Lu Xingzhou said, “You were originally meant to be an elf, like a flower, like a dream, only captivating hearts without a trace. But your life experience is shrouded in a light sadness, and within the He Huan Sect, you’re caught in a joyful union. Who knows when you’ll become like a half-point red lip tasted by ten thousand people, eager to establish your authority and gain more autonomy… I can always imagine you alone in your room, looking at the clear, cold moonlight, closing your book, and sighing.”

Pei Chuyun’s sparkling eyes became dull, and she just stared at him blankly.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Xingzhou amusingly pinched her cheek. “You are the cutest He Huan demoness I’ve ever seen. How can you possibly captivate anyone like this? Where’s the demoness you were when I first saw you?”

Pei Chuyun’s dull eyes regained some charm. “You want my demoness appearance? It won’t be easy for you.”

“How would it be difficult for me?”

“Aren’t you not reliving the old dream because although it feels comfortable on the surface, it’s actually harder to strongly endure your desires? Isn’t it better not to?”

Lu Xingzhou: “…”

Indeed.

Pei Chuyun bit her lower lip and reached out to lightly stroke his cheek. “Even when I kiss you, you subconsciously want to use your Qi, ready to resist my charm skill invasion at any moment… Difficult?”

Lu Xingzhou couldn’t maintain a straight face. “Alright, the poetry has been given, go, go, go.”

Pei Chuyun giggled, then suddenly attacked again, pecking him. She smiled, squinting her eyes, and walked back with her hands behind her back. “You say I’m dull, but you’re also very cute.”

A finger came from behind.

Pei Chuyun knew it clearly, yet she didn’t dodge, letting him strike her acupoint.

Lu Xingzhou lifted her horizontally with one hand, threw her onto the bed, and said with a stern face, “You said it, relive the old dream.”

Pei Chuyun pouted, looking at the ceiling without speaking.

Lu Xingzhou climbed onto the bed and put his arm around her shoulder.

Pei Chuyun smiled slightly and leaned over. She twisted slightly and deliberately kissed him lightly in the ear. “You want the demoness me… A true demoness, can you endure it?”

“I…” Lu Xingzhou finally understood what it meant to lift a stone and drop it on your own foot. He said angrily, “You weren’t like this last night!”

Pei Chuyun’s eyes held a hint of sarcasm. “Because last night, if I were too provocative, too obvious… you might have killed me.”

Lu Xingzhou was startled for a moment, then said angrily, “I’ll kill you now too.”

“Come on… You’re not a good man if you don’t kill me, oh.” Pei Chuyun kissed him on the lips.

Lu Xingzhou subconsciously held his breath and resisted. Then he remembered that he had just sealed her acupoint, and his tense spirit relaxed a little. He rolled over and pressed her down, lowering his head and just gnawing at her. “Afraid you won’t become one?”

Pei Chuyun secretly pouted in her heart.

Lips and tongue intertwined. She could truly use her methods. Early morning didn’t work because besides the sealed acupoint, there were also the effects of the drug, and this time only the acupoint was sealed.

But she still didn’t use any methods, letting him kiss and play.

Since it was reliving the old dream, and she had promised… she would cooperate with him then.

Besides making her covered in saliva, what could he do?

In fact, he couldn’t even get saliva on her body. On her body, he only dared to use his hands.

Pei Chuyun sometimes found it quite amusing. A woman with the He Huan joyful union skill in her body was originally supposed to do everything to trick men into bed, but between the two of them, it had become her protective color several times, making the man’s heart itch but dare not touch her.

Actually, she still wanted to trick him into bed. The spirit control during He Huan joyful union was no joke… It was a pity this man was extraordinarily rational. She couldn’t trick him, and this was the only result.

“Okay, okay.” Pei Chuyun pressed his hand and said coquettishly, “It’s useless, stop messing around, let’s sleep.”

“Grass.” Lu Xingzhou, without love for life, rolled over and lay flat, staring straight at the ceiling.

Yesterday, it was Pei Chuyun with a face devoid of love for life. Now, the tables had turned, and it was Lu Xingzhou.

So, whoever was more shameless, who won, right?

Pei Chuyun found it more and more amusing. She lay like a small cat, nestled on his shoulder, and murmured in a charming voice, “Do you want to… really try?”

Lu Xingzhou reached out and pinched her face. “You clearly don’t want to use your body for transactions, so why bother.”

Pei Chuyun’s smile stiffened on her face. It was good that she was nestled on his shoulder, the night was deep and dark, so it was hard to see.

“You… Why do you see me like that?” Pei Chuyun asked in a low voice. “Including what you just said, that I want to establish authority to get rid of… I never had such an expression. Why would you say that?”

“Because you made a move on Qing Li but didn’t kill her. Instead, you used your charm skill. You actually wanted to control Qing Li, not kill her, to establish authority. Can I not think that you’re trying to replace the thinking within your sect that only focuses on charming men? Then, can I not deduce that you don’t want to go and hook men?”

Pei Chuyun didn’t speak.

“Good little demoness.” Lu Xingzhou stretched out one hand and held her comfortably. “Don’t tease me anymore. How good is it just like this.”

“Pah, you’re the one who’s good.” Pei Chuyun said this, but she didn’t refuse. She quietly lay nestled on his shoulder and didn’t move.

This night, Lu Xingzhou began to sleep soundly, but the Pei Chuyun in his arms kept her eyes open, sparkling like stars in the night.

Actually, this was a very good opportunity to pluck some hair, but the little demoness had forgotten.

Her mind was racing repeatedly, not knowing what she was thinking.

The next morning.

Lu Xingzhou opened his eyes and seemed to sense something. “Hey, don’t tell me you didn’t sleep.”

Pei Chuyun stretched lazily and sat up straight. “I just woke up earlier than you.”

Lu Xingzhou looked at her suspiciously.

Pei Chuyun grabbed a pillow and covered his face. “Don’t look through people’s appearances every day. Just looking at that expression makes me angry.”

Lu Xingzhou cried and laughed, grabbing the pillow away. “Okay, okay, good. Go wash up and eat.”

Pei Chuyun “hmm-ed,” then ran to the door, peeked through the crack.

It was very early, and she estimated A Nuo hadn’t woken up.

She breathed a sigh of relief, slipped out like smoke, and went back to her own room.

Lu Xingzhou laughed dumbly.

This little demoness, clearly her acupoints were unlocked, but she still looked like she was helpless with sealed acupoints.

But it seemed like she couldn’t change the fundamental problem… Lu Xingzhou lowered his head to look at the hard boat oar and sighed bitterly.

Both of them washed up. They almost tacitly opened their doors from their respective rooms at the same time and met in the yard. “Morning.”

A Nuo came in with breakfast, seemingly unaware of anything. “Master, Sister A Ruo, breakfast is ready.”

The dog man and woman coughed dryly and sat properly facing each other.

Then they saw A Nuo give Lu Xingzhou two large steamed buns, and then put a huge Youtiao in front of Pei Chuyun, smiling with curved eyes. “Please enjoy.”

After that, she strode away with her short legs and ran off. Pei Chuyun slapped the table and stood up, chasing her out. “Dead little ghost, you stand right there for me!”

She didn’t even eat her Youtiao?

Lu Xingzhou slowly broke open the steamed bun, put the Youtiao inside, and took a bite.

The morning rain was a little heavier than last night.

A Nuo pushed the wheelchair, pressed down the mechanism, and a protective cover opened, blocking the rain outside.

Pei Chuyun glanced sideways at her, and A Nuo smiled apologetically. “Sister A Ruo, come in and hide from the rain with me?”

Pei Chuyun didn’t answer for a moment. She just heard A Nuo continue, “Anyway, no one believes you’re pretending to be innocent.”

Pei Chuyun moved two steps over expressionlessly and hid inside the protective cover.

But we’re really innocent, why don’t you believe me… I even forgot to pluck my hair, I’ve lost so much…

Lu Xingzhou coughed dryly twice. “Since we’ll be traveling together to the capital from now on, we need to settle on titles. We’ll all call you A Ruo. Do you need a disguise?”

Pei Chuyun said, “Not many people have seen my true appearance, so a disguise doesn’t mean much.”

Lu Xingzhou nodded. “That’s what I meant too. If you follow me into the Pei Residence, your true appearance might have unexpected uses, which a disguise wouldn’t provide. However, your true appearance is truly too beautiful. You can slightly adjust it so it’s not so eye-catching. Otherwise, there are many young noblemen and rakes in the capital who love to cause trouble. Being too beautiful will provoke trouble.”

Pei Chuyun then took out her makeup kit as if nothing happened. As she applied it, she said, “What should I call you then? Young Master Lu?”

Lu Xingzhou said, “Young Master.”

Pei Chuyun glanced sideways at him. Are you really treating me as a servant girl?

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that the most suitable identity was that of a servant girl. Lu Xingzhou didn’t say it directly to save her some face. Pei Chuyun knew this in her heart and sighed devoid of love for life. “Alright, I understand.”

Lu Xingzhou looked at her little appearance and really couldn’t help but laugh. “You might not be able to keep up this kind of demeanor then. It won’t be good if you’re exposed.”

“I can act,” Pei Chuyun retorted without good humor, but immediately felt a bit guilty.

She thought she could act, but she had never deceived this master and disciple pair. She didn’t know how their eyes grew. “Then… when I acted in front of you before, besides the flaw in my shoes, were there any other problems?”

“The acting itself wasn’t the problem. It was just too abrupt when you appeared, making people vigilant… You were too eager for success, so naturally there was a problem.” Lu Xingzhou said leisurely, “So, don’t try to cram at the last minute. If you want to act, act all the way from now on. When it becomes second nature, no one will be able to see any problem.”

Pei Chuyun said angrily, “I think you’re just deliberately taking advantage of me, aren’t you?”

“What other advantages do you have on your body that I can take?”

Pei Chuyun clenched her fist, wanting to hit him, but they had already reached the city gate.

The city guards uniformly stared at the three people. Pei Chuyun’s fist that landed on Lu Xingzhou’s shoulder had already become a rub. “Young Master, the wind is cold today. You are not wearing enough clothes. Perhaps you should add some?”

Lu Xingzhou held the little servant girl’s hand with one hand. “It’s enough with A Ruo warming me.”

The little servant girl seemed afraid of being laughed at. Her face was red as she withdrew her hand and looked at the city guards with a look of shame and timidity, making them unable to turn their eyes away.

A Nuo sighed.

Master’s trip to the capital, he originally thought he was a lonely scholar. Look at him now…
