**Chapter 326: I’m Chugging Lemons!**
Yun Zhonghe looked as if he was just fine on the outside, but then again, he had forcibly boosted his cultivation using some “secret technique” and had fought tooth and nail against a fierce enemy. So, he needed to recuperate for a while to regain his strength and cultivation level. Only when his body was completely recharged could he smoothly check out of the hospital.
Just at this moment, Yun Zhonghe had finally awakened from his stupor, and the Immortal Alliance’s routine questioning had finished too. A few girls who cared for him, after some discussions, decided to take turns looking after him to ensure he got ample rest and care.
Though Yun Zhonghe felt he didn’t need any care at all, they insisted on doing it anyway.
Su Xiaoxiao and Su Xinghe were on the first shift.
The two sisters flanked him on each side, carefully feeding him, occasionally chatting about light and cheerful topics to lift his spirits.
As time passed, the heart-flutters they originally felt for Yun Zhonghe began to subside.
Now, the most important thing was to make sure Yun Zhonghe got back on his feet instead of being lost in personal emotions. They couldn’t complicate things for him.
Although… deep down, Su Xiaoxiao still had many questions, especially about that kiss. She wanted to understand if there was a deeper meaning behind it.
In the end, she suppressed that desire for now, opting to bury it in her heart to avoid adding more pressure on Yun Zhonghe.
After eating, Yun Zhonghe felt a wave of fatigue wash over him again.
Clearly, he needed a long period of rest; after exhausting his energy and cultivation, how could he not need a recharge?
Soon enough, in a dazed state, Yun Zhonghe fell back into a deep sleep without even realizing it.
His breathing steadied and became even, and a content, blissful expression blossomed on his face, as if he was indulging in the most tranquil dream of all time.
When Su Xiaoxiao and Su Xinghe noticed that Yun Zhonghe had drifted back into slumber, he was already deep in dreamland.
“Yun Bro?”
“Yun Ge?”
They softly called out to him but got no response. He just lay there, quietly on the warm jade bed, the sounds of his breathing clearly audible.
As they gazed at Yun Zhonghe’s peaceful sleeping face, a wave of gentleness and affection surged within the sisters.
Their eyes were glued to his serene slumber, looking like lovestruck teenagers, as if, in this moment, the entire world consisted only of the man before them.
Exchanging glances, they sensed each other’s thoughts, and in perfect harmony stood up simultaneously, leaning in closer to Yun Zhonghe’s face.
Each step was taken with utmost care, fearing they might disrupt his beautiful dreams.
Peck~❤
They gently leaned in and planted kisses on either side of Yun Zhonghe’s lips, sharing half of his smooch each.
Thank you, thank you for everything you’ve done for us.
Truly, you are our favorite!
In that secret moment, it felt as if their heartbeats connected, each distinctly feeling the other’s pulse, both knowing the affection shared, even willing to divide it.
Their hearts thumped strongly, the sensation sweet and blissful, intoxicating.
They had no idea, though, that their little secret kiss had not escaped the keen gaze of Xing Bu.
Xing Bu hovered quietly in the room, watching the scene unfold and couldn’t help but cluck her tongue in exasperation.
Such sinful deeds!
Just then, a knock echoed at the door.
Knock knock knock.
“Hello, I’m an investigator from the Immortal Alliance. Is Yun Zhonghe here? We need his cooperation on a case…”
A strange man’s formal voice rang from outside. However, before he finished speaking, he bustled through the door, only to be met with a jaw-dropping sight.
He walked in on both girls kissing Yun Zhonghe!
The man froze.
Two ethereal, stunningly beautiful female sword cultivators were simultaneously kissing Yun Zhonghe, who was lying on the bed, and they bore such striking resemblance to each other while pampering one man.
What a VIP treatment!
The man’s mind screamed with disbelief, eyes bulging with envy.
Su Xiaoxiao and Su Xinghe jolted awake from this unexpected interruption. They hurriedly straightened up, their faces bright red, a blend of embarrassment and shyness in their wide eyes, utterly flustered.
Oh no… they had been caught by a stranger!
Ah! How mortifying!
That mix of innocence and panic only made them more alluring.
The sight of the shy sisters was enough to make anyone else green with envy.
“Um, um… Yun Ge is resting. Could you come back later?”
Su Xinghe feigned calmness, but nervously fiddled with her hair, her voice trembling slightly. The flutter of anxiety only served to enhance her cuteness.
The man realized his rudeness and awkwardly swallowed. His gaze bounced between the two girls, unable to settle and finally stammering out, “S-sorry for interrupting…”
He turned and exited, feeling like he’d swallowed a mixed bag of emotions—sour, sweet, bitter, and salty all at once.
Even when he was far away, the image of that enviable scene lingered in his mind.
I’m chugging lemons! I feel so sour!!!
…
When Yun Zhonghe once again stirred from his slumber, the room was eerily quiet. Su Xiaoxiao and Su Xinghe were nowhere to be seen.
But it seemed their presence still lingered in the air; a faint, subtle fragrance that was uniquely theirs, fresh and serene.
He could still smell a hint of their delicate scent lingering around his lips.
It was unexpectedly pleasant, carrying a barely perceivable sweetness.
Yun Zhonghe slowly sat up, feeling a gnawing thirst. Spotting a jug of fresh water and an exquisite teacup on the bedside table, he picked up the jug and gulped down the water, the cool liquid sliding down his throat, refreshing him.
However, floating mid-air, Xing Bu couldn’t help but sh**t him a teasing look.
Yun Zhonghe thought, “…”
For some reason, he felt an overwhelming urge to punch her.
Xing Bu seemed to read his mind, grumbling, “Hey! I haven’t offended you or anything, so why do you always act like this? At the very least, I’m a woman too, you know!”
It felt like she was a mind-reader, knowing his thoughts as if she were a worm in his stomach.
Yun Zhonghe casually set the jug down, chuckling lightly, “Xing Bu, what makes you think that? I have the utmost respect for you, no disrespect intended.”
Xing Bu rolled her eyes. As an all-knowing, all-seeing being, Yun Zhonghe’s little thoughts were barely a match for her sharp perception.
Fine, she was used to his rudeness anyway.
Hmph! I, the Dao-Integration Supreme, won’t fret over you, you little schemer!
“Xing Bu, have you been hovering in my room this entire time?”
Yun Zhonghe realized an unsettling truth. The thought of a ghostly figure watching over him while he slept sent a chill down his spine. It was kind of creepy.
Moreover, even though he didn’t have long to interact with Xing Bu, he had a hunch she wasn’t exactly the type to be cooped up indoors.
She preferred to roam and have fun; he could judge people quite accurately.
Just then, Yun Zhonghe expressed his puzzlement, causing her to startle. Her gaze darted uncertainly before she chuckled awkwardly, “Ahahaha… why’s that? Oh! Right, I’m just here to look after you. What if something happens? That would be bad.”
Yun Zhonghe wasn’t naive; he sensed a hint of evasion in her words.
He squinted suspiciously, thinking she was clearly hiding something. “Don’t worry, this is the Immortal Alliance. I’m not in any danger. Plus, the Chen Family and that corpse ancestor have been dealt with. You could easily head out.”
Pfft~ you think I’m enjoying eating your dog food here?
Xing Bu internally scoffed, feeling quite exasperated.
so she could only chuckle awkwardly and cough a couple of times, “It’s always good to be cautious, right?”
Yet, Yun Zhonghe’s suspicion did not dissipate; it only deepened.
Now that he thought about it, the last time he woke up, she seemed to be acting like she was drunk.
Yun Zhonghe couldn’t tell if that was his imagination or not.
But before he could inquire further, another silhouette flickered at the door to his hospital room.
The newcomer was a tall and slender woman whose figure was enviable, but her chest—oh boy—now that was something to behold!
The size of her assets was impressive; apart from Xia Linglong and Chen Leling, Yun Zhonghe hadn’t seen anything quite like it.
Sure enough, when the figure paused at the door, then entered, it was Xia Linglong, her graceful figure backlit by the doorway.
Dressed in a plain and elegant dress, it flowed gracefully with her every step. Despite being the young lady of the Xia Family Business, she radiated an approachable charm.
Xia Linglong’s gentle gaze settled on Yun Zhonghe, and upon seeing he had awakened, she smiled lightly, her eyes clear and bright like autumn’s pure waters: “Yun Shidi, you’re awake! I was worried you’d still be sleeping, so I didn’t knock; I hope I didn’t disturb you.”
