When the horse was galloping, Tie Ci naturally knew, but… she couldn’t stop it anymore.
Rong Wei seemed to have truly ignited, his moves cunning. When she wanted to pause slightly, his hand had already grabbed her collar like lightning—with just a little force, she’d be streaking naked.
Tie Ci had no choice but to ram her shoulder forward, pushing away his hand. With a ripping sound, half her collar tore open. Tie Ci countered with a grappling hold on his shoulder while her other hand tried to control the reins.
Everything went dark as the horse had already charged into the forest. The forest floor was uneven with trees everywhere—continuing to gallop and fight like this, they’d definitely crash into a tree.
Her hand was about to touch the reins when cold light flashed and Rong Wei’s spear tip had already flicked the reins away.
This madman!
Tie Ci also got somewhat angry. Her long spear thrust out with a snap, breaking Rong Wei’s spear shaft in half. But Rong Wei adapted extremely quickly—he grabbed the broken spear shaft with one hand and danced it skillfully, turning it into dual spears in the blink of an eye.
He crossed his dual spears and pressed down hard, forcefully pinning Tie Ci down on the horse’s back.
Tie Ci crashed onto the horse’s back with a bang. Fortunately her waist strength was excellent, but her back was still painfully jarred.
And the horse was still galloping and jumping. Rong Wei pressed her down firmly—for a moment she couldn’t get up.
When Rong Wei pressed her down, he hadn’t thought much, but now lowering his head, he saw that Ye Shiba’s long hair had somehow become disheveled, half her collar torn open, revealing half her straight collarbone. Though the forest was dim, that skin and bone seemed to be glowing.
His mind went dizzy.
Tie Ci lay facing him and saw his originally stern and murderous gaze suddenly flash with flowing light, becoming even more profound.
Her heart jumped—she instinctively sensed something bad.
The next instant she saw that beautiful face continuously enlarging before her eyes, satin-like black hair falling to her neck, brushing against her collarbone with a rustling tickle.
She stared wide-eyed in shock, not yet reacting.
Suddenly her lips felt hot, pressed by something soft. The moment of contact, she vaguely heard a low, faint gasp from the person above.
Her mind thundered as if golden flowers exploded—after the ultimate brightness came complete blankness.
In a daze, skin touched skin and lips pressed against lips. For a long while neither moved, following the horse’s rise and fall, lightly touching then separating, the next second crashing together more fiercely. She could hear the subtle sound of teeth clashing. Later he held her tightly, pressing hard against her lips for a long time without moving. Soon, apparently feeling that the softness and fragrance of her lips wasn’t satisfying enough, he made a low murmur in his throat. His tongue tip nimbly emerged, lightly sweeping across her lip seam. Her mind was in complete confusion—she only felt rolling heat from head to toe, yet her whole body had become soft like a cloud or a fish, following the horse’s movements like waves. When his tongue swept over like that, her whole body tingled as if it wasn’t her own. Somehow her teeth had been parted, and once he broke through, he completely abandoned his previous leisurely gentleness—driving straight in, devastating everything in his path, taking almost violently. At this moment even her soul seemed to transform into a swimming dragon, roaming through her world, leaving his mark on every beautiful place it passed…
On the horse’s back, young bodies embraced, long hair scattered and tangled endlessly. Proud sunlight fell like scattered diamonds through gaps in the canopy, sprinkling over them both. Unknown whose breathing grew intense, unknown whose hand, after being unable to find place several times, finally at some moment neither noticed, gently fell on the other’s back.
Suddenly the horse let out a long neigh accompanied by a great shake. Tie Ci’s eyes flew open, thinking: “Oh no!”
She pushed at Rong Wei, but he completely ignored her, his long lashes sweeping across her face, seemingly laughing softly in his throat.
Tie Ci silently cursed “madman” again, used force from her waist, and suddenly sprang up carrying Rong Wei with her.
After springing up, she immediately grabbed Rong Wei’s collar and pulled him as they flew up.
The next instant the horse tilted and slid down with a long neigh—below was a slope!
Robes danced like scattered flowers. As the horse tumbled down, Tie Ci dragged Rong Wei as they flew diagonally, landing with a bang—this time it was Rong Wei’s back that hit an old tree.
The next moment Tie Ci pinned him down.
She pressed his shoulders and tilted her head, pressing against his lips.
The forest was silent, birds scattered in flight.
Rong Wei was stunned for an instant, then laughed again, completely relaxing his body in a yielding posture.
Tie Ci didn’t care and followed the script—first pressing hard against his lips for a long while until Rong Wei grew impatient, tilted his head slightly, and raised his hand to embrace her waist.
Tie Ci trembled all over like being electrocuted, leaned forward and began licking his lip seam. Rong Wei cooperated by parting his lips slightly, and Tie Ci slipped into his world, beginning to conquer territory.
Her learning ability had always been strong—in the blink of an eye she was skillfully employing techniques: flicking, brushing, hooking, entwining… Two swimming fish came and went, chasing yin and yang. What started as tentative revenge, by the end no one knew who was seducing whom, who was leading whom, who was enjoying whom.
In summer the green canopy blocked out the sky and sun. In the rarely visited dense forest, vegetation grew deep. In the grass depths, insects and beasts rustled about, coming and going busily—the sound made one’s bones tingle. Bright sunlight flowed through the treetops.
At some unknown moment, Rong Wei’s hand, pressed against the tree, slowly slid up along Tie Ci’s spine, pinched her neck, then slowly slid down again…
Just as that hand was about to reach certain unspeakable places, Tie Ci suddenly awakened and sprang away.
She stood there stunned, looking at Rong Wei leaning against the tree with eyes slightly closed. Dusk’s gentle rosy light traveled from afar, painting a faint red on his cheek. Even his lashes seemed to shimmer with light.
The sight made her heart tremble.
Seeming to sense her gaze, those long, thick lashes slowly trembled and gradually opened, then fixed on her with a smile.
In that instant all rosy clouds gathered, crimson mountains rolled back, emerald water flowed, and all worldly charm was contained in his smiling, focused eyes.
In Tie Ci’s life, she had experienced life and death, encountered desperate situations, seen ten thousand people mountain-calling in worship, ascended the highest divine altar in the human world. But regardless of such hardships or glory, never had her heart beaten as madly as at this moment.
She felt she could even hear that pounding sound, like great bronze bells ringing, making her ears buzz endlessly.
She retreated another step, hiding in the tree shadows, took a breath, barely steadied herself, wiped her mouth, and smiled: “Not a loss.”
Then she turned and left.
Her departure could be called smart and decisive, just like a scumbag who pulls up his pants and disavows everything.
After all, she’d been forcibly kissed and had forcibly kissed back—they were both men, so excessive entanglement would be unwise.
Rong Wei didn’t move, watching with folded arms from behind.
Thinking: Sour plum soup flavor.
Feeling the silent gaze from behind, Tie Ci straightened her back, determined not to lose face even if losing ground.
The next instant she tripped on a tree root and stumbled.
She quickly scrambled up and darted away.
Rong Wei laughed aloud.
Watching that person seemingly frank but actually fleeing the forest as if chased by ghosts, only then did he put away his smile, raised his hand, and gently touched his lips, spacing out for a while.
After a long time, he said softly: “Now I think I understand you a little…”
…
Tie Ci fled in defeat and returned to the martial field to find everyone still waiting in place.
She had already tidied herself before emerging from the forest, but when she walked out and saw the crowd rushing toward her, she still felt somewhat guilty.
Especially seeing Wei Xuan charging to the front made her feel even more guilty.
Wei Xuan looked behind her curiously, asking: “Eighteen, where’s the teacher? You two…” She tilted her head questioningly at Tie Ci.
Tie Ci avoided her gaze and said as naturally as possible: “We tied.”
This was the absolute truth.
Wei Xuan didn’t suspect anything: “Then why hasn’t the teacher come out yet?”
Tie Ci laughed once and said maliciously: “It’s my fault—I accidentally may have injured the teacher’s… certain unspeakable areas. He probably needs to treat his wounds first.”
Wei Xuan: “…”
Everyone: “…!!!”
Seems like they heard something incredible!
Tie Ci excused herself as tired and returned to her dorm, turning to leave. After two steps, Dan Ye suddenly poked his head over: “Why are your lips so red?”
Tie Ci remained expressionless: “From eating chili peppers.”
She left Dan Ye behind and walked away with quick steps. Not long after, Rong Wei drifted out. Everyone saw—no horse, no spear, and such unsteady steps. Oh—
Unspeakable, unspeakable.
Must protect the teacher’s dignity.
Rong Wei’s mind was full of pondering other matters and didn’t notice everyone’s strange expressions. He waved his hand indicating everyone should practice on their own while he sat aside to think.
Dan Ye suddenly appeared, staring at his lips: “Why are your lips so red?”
Rong Wei touched his lips, his gaze floating past Dan Ye’s head to the forest behind, saying airily: “From eating candy.”
He also drifted away, leaving Dan Ye standing there stroking his chin.
Were there candy and chili peppers in the forest?
Also, why was he smiling so lecherously?
Author’s Note: Hahahaha, that came out of nowhere.
Such a sweet important moment—they kissed at 500,000 words! I’m righteously demanding monthly votes!
