Chapter 305: Whispers by the Pillow

Chapter 305: Whispers by the Pillow

Qin Shili climbed onto Lin Nuo’s bed, leaving him utterly shocked.

But being shocked didn’t help; it didn’t change anything, and frankly, he didn’t have much desire left in him anyway.

Sharing a bed with the proud Ice Beauty was a dream come true for countless young men. Who knows? Once in bed, they might just start doing something fun.

But the cost of the Raging Flame Pill was too steep, leaving most of his body unable to move.

Forget about having fun; being alive was already a blessing.

The two were under the same blanket, and the bed was filled with Qin Shili’s fragrance.

This scent wasn’t overpowering but light and refreshing, like a sudden cool breeze on a scorching summer day, calming the heart significantly just by inhaling it.

“I say, you, the esteemed daughter of the Qin family, can really share a pillow with me?”

“Why not? Do you mind?”

“I don’t mind; after all, I’m the one making a blood profit here.”

“Then I’m also profiting; this counts as a win-win, right?”

Qin Shili turned to her side, her delicate and fair hand resting on Lin Nuo’s chest.

It was indeed her first time sharing a bed with someone of the opposite sex her age.

Though she maintained a haughty, frosty expression, internally, she was rather excited.

Her hand caressed Lin Nuo’s strong chest, bringing an unprecedented sense of novelty and wonder.

The icy exterior merely concealed her inner desires.

Of course, she kind of hoped Lin Nuo would take action, but in his current state, he could only move his mouth.

Since he couldn’t act, she took the initiative, loosening his clothes and touching his skin, becoming addicted to the act as if bewitched.

“My Second Martial Sister, how am I supposed to sleep like this?” Lin Nuo sighed. What was happening here? She was the proud Ice Beauty, so how did she suddenly turn into a little vixen?

Not good; was this a sign of some strange awakening?

“Then you should sleep later. I’ll take care of you; at least give me some return.”

“That makes it sound like I’m selling myself.”

“If you were selling yourself, I would preemptively buy you out, so you wouldn’t have the chance to sell to anyone else.”

Qin Shili whispered into Lin Nuo’s ear, even blowing a light breath. It felt like a demon’s whisper, but Lin Nuo remained unaffected, his heart calm as still water.

He replied:

“Speaking of which, my previous wish was to sleep with you.”

“So now you wish to fulfill it.”

“Kind of, but it feels a bit strange.”

“Strange? What’s strange about it?”

“I can’t quite express it, maybe it’s that you can move, but I can’t.”

“Where do you want to move? I can raise your hand for you.”

Qin Shili had already lifted Lin Nuo’s hand, waiting for his instructions.

“That’s kind of pointless. If you want to move, just finish it quickly; I want to sleep.”

“Okay, then you sleep. I won’t move.”

Qin Shili stopped touching him to avoid disturbing his rest, wanting him to recover.

Though lying there wasn’t too bad, he still needed to get up to maintain peace in the world.

Qin Shili leaned against Lin Nuo’s chest, sensing his heartbeat.

“What’s wrong with you?” Lin Nuo asked, puzzled.

“Your heartbeat hasn’t changed. It turns out I haven’t attracted you.”

“That’s just a side effect; don’t take it to heart. In fact, when I see you, my heart races. If it were a normal day and you got close, my heart would jump out.”

“You’re just kidding me.” Qin Shili was skeptical.

“No, as a normal male, I would definitely be enamored by beauty. You should be confident in your looks and figure; considering combined external skills, you rank quite high among the general populace.”

“Not first?”

“Appearance assessments can be subjective, so the top spot is a matter of personal opinion. Do you care about such fame?” Lin Nuo asked.

“I don’t care; I only care about your opinion.”

“I won’t just place anyone first; just know you are an unparalleled beauty. If a celestial being came down to earth, that would suffice, right? To add, I’m not intentionally flattering you.”

Lin Nuo spoke frankly. Since they were sharing a bed, he figured he might as well express his views without needing to hide anything; facts were just facts.

When assessing someone, the first impression is often based on their appearance. As a man, who wouldn’t desire to be close to beautiful women? This was undeniable.

“I think you should find me a male servant.”

“Is that why I find your sister attractive? So that’s your preference?”

“When I wake, I want to take a bath. I need someone to scrub me down; just make sure this male servant has a normal orientation and doesn’t bring soap.”

“Then I’ll join you. I’ll scrub you down.” Qin Shili responded.

“Could you slap me instead?”

“Hm? You sure have a lot of quirks. Do you also have a taste for masochism? But is your body really okay for that?”

Lin Nuo: “…”

So am I the one who’s gone crazy, or is she? Or is this just a hidden trait of the cold goddess?

But honestly, if he was still that lickspittle from his previous life, he might have enjoyed being mistreated by her.

Lin Nuo’s heart was sinking.

Lin Nuo clarified:

“No, I meant I wanted you to slap me just to see if I’m dreaming. I can hardly believe these words are coming from you.”

“Why don’t you believe it?”

“Because you’re pure and noble; you wouldn’t actively request to bathe with a man.”

“I’ve already shared a pillow with you. Why wouldn’t I? Besides, I’m not new to bathing with you; remember in Master’s fountain at the Spirit Spring?”

“Don’t mention that; that spring exploded.”

“Now that Su Kexin isn’t here, I can’t possibly explode any springs.”

Qin Shili lifted her fair hand, gently brushing Lin Nuo’s face.

She sincerely asked:

“Ruo’er is fine; why can’t I be?”

Lin Nuo paused for a moment before replying softly:

“Fine, then let’s do it together. If you don’t mind, I have nothing to be concerned about. After all, I’m making a blood profit.”

“I’m also profiting; it’s a win-win.”

Lin Nuo and Qin Shili discussed such topics, both maintaining a calm demeanor, as if they were talking about everyday trivialities, completely unreserved.

Just as Lin Nuo was about to close his eyes and sleep, the usually quiet Qin Shili, resembling an energetic wife, began to chatter again.

“Lin Nuo, can I ask you something?”

“Can’t you wait until I wake up?”

“I can’t; answer before you sleep.”

“Hurry up; what is it?”

“The one I sparred with before was your disciple, that Demon Woman. It seems she has now become a leader.”

“Yeah, so what?”

Lin Nuo was starting to get impatient; he was sleepy, and he wondered how long Qin Shili would keep prattling on.

“Her current status is probably due to your guidance back then, right?”

“Yeah, so what?”

“You must have anticipated her status today, right?” Qin Shili continued to ask.

“Yeah, so what?”

“I noticed she seems to have some interest in you. With your talent for demonic arts, will you marry her and join the Demon Sect in the future?”

“Yeah, so what?”

“Mm?”

In an instant, Lin Nuo suddenly felt the covers grow cold, as if he had just plunged into a giant fridge.
