After simply asking a rhetorical question, Ah Yin didn't say anything more. She lowered her head, allowing Su Cheng to have his way with her body.
It seemed that with this thin veil of pretense, she could temporarily set aside the constraints of societal norms or the differences in their statuses and quietly enjoy this brief moment of intimacy.
Even her initially stiff body gradually relaxed.
However, the itching sensation deep in her heart grew more intense, becoming increasingly unbearable. Her suppressed breathing grew more rapid...
Seeing that Ah Yin no longer resisted, Su Cheng's caresses became bolder.
As for checking her body... that could wait for another time!
With this thought, he put down the wine jug, shifted his position slightly, and then reached out with both hands, pulling Ah Yin into his arms.
This action clearly took Ah Yin by surprise.
The long spear pressing against her plump buttocks was all too real, its presence sharp and clear.
When she felt the menacing aura emanating from between her buttocks, her already softened body trembled violently. The wine jug in her hand almost slipped to the ground.
However, at that moment, Su Cheng didn't give her much time to react. He lowered his head, first inhaling the fresh, woody scent from her hair and forehead. Then, he went a step further, slowly licking and kissing her fair, slender neck.
Like a tiger lingering among flowers, he was both rough and gentle, creating a picture that was both stimulating and contradictory yet strangely harmonious and captivating.
As Su Cheng's actions became increasingly over-the-top, Ah Yin's blue-gold palace gown had long since become disheveled. Her ornate outer garments had unknowingly fallen to the floor, and even her silk undergarments were twisted and askew.
His hands roamed freely, caressing her body, while his head tasted her fragrant lips.
Suppressed moans escaped intermittently from Ah Yin's mouth, but she remained unusually compliant, allowing him to "check her body" without much resistance.
Only when Su Cheng tried to slip his hand inside her undergarments did she grab his wrist to stop him.
Clearly, this was the unspoken boundary for Ah Yin at this moment.
As she had mentioned earlier, she needed time to sort out her thoughts before fully accepting the situation.
Even if she was overwhelmed by the current circumstances, or had other justifications, she still couldn't completely let go of all her concerns.
Su Cheng understood and didn't push further.
Since he had promised to wait, there was no need to rush at this moment.
The fact that she had taken this step today meant there was no need to worry about what the future held.
His large hands, still covered by her clothes, kneaded her ample bosom more aggressively than before, molding them into various shapes.
Ah Yin's eyes were half-open, half-closed, her once gentle and clear gaze now lost in a haze of desire.
Perhaps it was due to the Hundred Flowers Brew she had just drunk, or the emotions fermenting within her heart, but her cheeks were flushed, her expression somewhere between drunk and sober.
The subtle changes in her expression followed the movements of Su Cheng's hands across her skin.
Whenever his fingers brushed against a firm spot amid her soft flesh, he would teasingly pinch and rub it. Each time, Ah Yin's breathing would grow heavier, and she would emit soft moans.
Suddenly, Su Cheng noticed that Ah Yin was still tightly clutching the wine jug, and a thought occurred to him.
"You can't really taste anything drinking like this. Let me feed you."
He reached out and took the wine jug from her hands.
"Hm?"
At that moment, Ah Yin seemed to be lost in a dream, unable to extricate herself.
She seemed to hear his words but didn't quite understand what he was saying, merely letting out a faint hum that could have been either confusion or agreement.
"Here, let me feed you."
A smile tugged at Su Cheng's lips as he tilted his head back, took a sip of wine from the jug, and then leaned in to cover the beautiful woman's soft lips.
As for Ah Yin, who was already somewhat dazed, she clearly didn't realize what he was doing at first.
When she saw him leaning in, she instinctively offered her lips for him to "check."
The next moment, a mouthful of wine flowed between their lips and teeth.
The sharpness of the wine jolted Ah Yin awake, and she finally realized what he was doing.
Her half-closed eyes widened in shock.
She was both unaccustomed to the intense flavor of the wine and stunned by this method of drinking through their lips.
A wave of intense shame exploded in her heart, and her already flushed cheeks turned even redder.
But at that moment, her delicate lips were sealed shut, and the nimble tongue prying open her teeth left her utterly defenseless...
After a long few minutes, the mouthful of wine, mixed with their saliva, finally made its way into her stomach.
Only then did their lips part.
Ah Yin clutched her heaving chest, breathing heavily as she tried to calm the strange sensations within her. Rather than discomfort, it was more a sense of confusion and helplessness brought on by a kind of shameful stimulation.
However, before she could fully regain her composure, another shadow loomed over her.
Seeing Su Cheng's face approaching, Ah Yin panicked, hurriedly pushing him away. "No! Stop!"
She shook her head in refusal, determined not to let him succeed again.
Seeing this, Su Cheng didn't force the issue. He swallowed the wine still in his mouth and, shaking the jug in his hand, smiled. "Well then, how about I feed you like this?"
Ah Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
Though it was still strange, it was much better than the previous method.
Their earlier actions had been far too indecent.
In her mind, this method of drinking was even more intimate than skin-to-skin contact.
No matter how much she tried to deceive herself, she couldn't consider this "feeding with the mouth" as just "checking her body."
However, when Su Cheng tilted the wine jug to her lips, Ah Yin shyly opened her mouth to drink. Yet, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Su Cheng tilted the jug too far, causing a large amount of wine to pour out.
Only a small amount of the wine made it into Ah Yin's mouth, while most of the clear, fragrant liquid trickled down her lips and chin.
The wine flowed down her long neck, seeping through her thin clothing, and tracing a path from her chest to her abdomen...
Wherever the wine touched, it brought a cool sensation to her passion-heated skin.
Soon, most of the wine in the jug had been poured out.
At the same time, Ah Yin's disheveled silk undergarments were completely soaked, clinging tightly to her body and outlining her graceful curves.
The pale blue fabric now revealed much of her upper body, becoming semi-transparent and impossibly seductive.
Ah Yin hurriedly covered her chest with her hands, glaring at Su Cheng in embarrassment as she prepared to use her spiritual power to evaporate the wine from her clothes and skin.
"Wait." Su Cheng quickly reached out and pressed his hand on her shoulder, "You've already wasted a jar of good wine, so you can't do that again."
As he spoke, he flipped over and pinned Ah Yin down, his hands propped on the grass on either side of her head.
Ah Yin lay flat on her back, her long legs instinctively bent.
Her blue hair, which usually flowed down her back to her waist, now spread out entirely on the ground due to her new position.
Especially noticeable were her two firm, full breasts, which did not succumb to gravity despite her lying down. Instead, they defiantly resisted the constant pull of the planet's force.
The graceful curves outlined on the outer sides continued to rise and fall as she breathed more heavily due to her tension.
"What... what are you doing?" Ah Yin asked softly, gazing at the face so close to hers.
Her voice trembled slightly, her eyes filled with a mix of shyness, nervousness, and fear.
Su Cheng didn't speak immediately; he simply studied her carefully.
Due to the movement just now, Ah Yin's light inner garments had slightly opened.
Her snow-white shoulders, delicate collarbone, and even a portion of her porcelain-like, dazzlingly white bosom were exposed.
Adding to this, her clothes had been soaked by a large amount of wine, revealing the deep cleavage that was already faintly visible, giving her an alluring and captivating charm that was both pure and seductive.
"So beautiful," Su Cheng murmured in admiration.
Then, he raised one arm, gently stroking her cheek and hair with his hand, his fingertips sliding slowly.
From her slender, neat brows to her soft, enchanting eyes, down to her delicate, well-defined nose, and finally her soft, moist lips.
His movements were gentle, and his gaze was clear and focused, not impatient with desire.
As he gently caressed her, Ah Yin's expression subtly changed.
The tension in her heart gradually subsided, and she met his gaze calmly.
A smile appeared on Su Cheng's face.
In both the past and present, he had always been in pursuit of power.
But obtaining power was just a means, not the ultimate goal.
He sought strength not to defeat others, but to break free from constraints, gain freedom, and explore places he had never been to see sights he had never seen before.
Of course, there were also promises, near or far, that he could not break or let go.
"This good wine can't go to waste," he said, as he buried his head between the beauty's neck and chest, savoring the "fine wine" that had spilled.
The next day, in the ancient forest, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the towering trees, falling on the two people embracing in sleep.
The woman was extraordinarily beautiful, with soft, refined features that exuded a pure, elegant, and ethereal aura.
However, her clothes were slightly disheveled at this moment. A crumpled court robe was draped casually over her pale blue silk dress, and she clung to the man beside her in a manner that contrasted with her usual temperament.
In contrast, the man holding her appeared much more composed in his sleep.
One of his arms was wrapped around her waist, while the other rested under his head as a pillow. Although he seemed unremarkable at first glance, closer observation revealed that he possessed a unique aura that harmonized perfectly with nature.
These two were none other than Su Cheng and Ah Yin, who had drunk together until late last night.
As the sunlight gradually brightened, Su Cheng slowly opened his eyes. He reached out and patted the beauty in his arms, teasing her with a smile, "Stop pretending to sleep. If you're awake, you should get up."
Given his current situation, regardless of how deeply or lightly he slept, he always maintained a connection with the outside world.
So, when Ah Yin woke up, he naturally woke up too.
Upon hearing Su Cheng's words, Ah Yin reluctantly opened her eyes and sat up.
She had just woken up, still wondering how to get up quietly without disturbing Su Cheng.
After all, given the current situation, she couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
With her back to Su Cheng, Ah Yin discreetly tidied her clothes while asking nonchalantly, "Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to examine my body and study the structure of my powers? Do you have any conclusions yet?"
"Did you really think that was a body examination?" Su Cheng replied, surprised. "Couldn't you tell that I was just taking advantage of you?"
"You?!" Ah Yin turned her head, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Of course, she knew that Su Cheng had just been using that as an excuse, not actually intending to examine her body.
What truly shocked her was how brazenly he could admit it.
But with Su Cheng's words, Ah Yin found herself speechless, despite being the one to raise the question.
She bit her lip, her face full of righteous indignation, yet unsure how to respond.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry. Yesterday is already in the past. Doing the examination today will be the same," Su Cheng said, stretching as he stood up. He then walked over to face Ah Yin, silently assessing her.
"I don't know where you learned all these mischievous thoughts," Ah Yin muttered under her breath, not daring to meet his gaze as she smoothed out the wrinkles in her clothes.
Thinking back to yesterday, her cheeks flushed slightly.
In truth, nothing really happened between them yesterday.
Since Ah Yin wasn't ready, Su Cheng didn't force her.
However, he did take his fair share of liberties.
Later, he brought out several more jars of wine from the cave, drinking them while Ah Yin drank a considerable amount as well.
With a slight buzz from the alcohol, they ended up falling asleep right there.
"…Huh?"
Just as they were joking around, Su Cheng's expression suddenly changed. He glanced at Ah Yin, "Someone's here."
Ah Yin was taken aback.
Unlike Su Cheng, who could now instinctively sense any changes within his surroundings without effort, she needed to focus her attention.
Her mind had been preoccupied with Su Cheng and various complex emotions, so she hadn't been paying attention to her surroundings.
It wasn't until Su Cheng spoke that she released her senses outward.
But when her senses reached the figure entering the Blue Silver Grass Forest, her expression changed drastically.
She cast a quick, panicked glance at Su Cheng, then quickly averted her gaze, only observing his reaction through her peripheral vision.
"Let's go and take a look," Su Cheng said calmly.
"…" Ah Yin hesitated, biting her lip without saying anything, but her lowered face revealed a reluctant expression.
"What's wrong?"
"…Nothing."
