Zhu Yuexi had already been sent away by Li Qingqing.
At this moment, only Li Qingqing stood outside the door.
She suddenly felt a bit of regret for sending Zhu Yuexi away.
If Zhu Yuexi had been present, she would have overheard Mo Ruxue’s startled cry just now.
A tone so fearful that someone might enter…
Anyone listening would suspect something was going on.
If it had been the former Zhu Yuexi, who had never experienced that kind of taste and whose mindset was completely different from now, she might have thought Mo Ruxue was in danger and forcefully barged in.
But the current Zhu Yuexi had been through it many times, having experienced jealousy so intense she could almost grind her teeth in frustration.
She would probably think along those lines.
It would have been a nice setup for Xu Sheng’s eventual exposure of the lie.
But not hearing it wasn’t a big deal—opportunities like this would come again.
As for herself…
Li Qingqing stood at the door. From inside the room came faint, extremely subtle sounds, audible only by using spiritual energy, constantly grating on her nerves.
Bitterness, jealousy, even hatred—a flood of emotions surged up, but Li Qingqing’s expression remained unchanged.
Yet deep inside, amid the pain, her body seemed to stir with some reaction…
It didn’t last long.
Whether it was because Xu Sheng was too skilled or Mo Ruxue too incompetent, in just a quarter of an hour, all noise from the room ceased.
Xu Sheng felt Mo Ruxue convulsing in his arms. At moments like this, a man’s sense of achievement reached its peak.
Even more so when the partner was a woman of high status like Mo Ruxue.
Xu Sheng’s own urge hadn’t subsided, but Mo Ruxue’s current state wasn’t suitable for continuing—physically she might have been able to take it and even enjoy it more, but mentally, that wasn’t guaranteed.
Xu Sheng didn’t want to reveal his needs too early.
Still, he planned to tease Mo Ruxue a bit more.
His hand slowly moved upward and placed by Mo Ruxue’s lips.
Actually, some things didn’t need to be taught.
Oral desire was one of humanity’s innate cravings. When you’re intimate with someone, strawberries… bite marks… all fall under that category.
So when Xu Sheng’s fingers brushed her lips, Mo Ruxue instinctively opened her mouth and bit down on his finger.
Xu Sheng probed a little deeper.
Then Mo Ruxue seemed to realize something. She paused, her mouth freezing in place.
“Huh?”
Xu Sheng thought to himself that this reaction was universal across all nations.
“This is…” Mo Ruxue looked incredulous.
Xu Sheng leaned closer, a mischievous smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
“It’s that hand from earlier.”
Mo Ruxue’s cheeks, which had just begun to cool, flushed again, turning bright red in an instant.
It wasn’t exactly disgusting.
But this thing had come from that place of hers, and her sense of shame peaked in that moment.
She regretted not realizing what was happening when Xu Sheng reached out his hand.
Xu Sheng watched her expression and chuckled.
“What? Does it taste strange?”
Saying that, he raised his hand as if to put it into his own mouth.
“Don’t!”
Mo Ruxue quickly grabbed his arm.
This time, she was genuinely afraid.
Because of her carelessness, she had eaten from the hand that touched… that—but at least it was her own, so she didn’t find it disgusting, only utterly shameful.
But if Xu Sheng were to taste that kind of thing…
Mo Ruxue would have to call it “dirty.”
Feeling the force of her grip, Xu Sheng knew that if he actually put it in his mouth, she would truly get angry.
Still, he didn’t lower his hand right away.
“Oh, right. Thanks for reminding me. I forgot—you’ve already licked it clean.”
“No!” Mo Ruxue was truly panicking. She couldn’t tell which of his words were real and which were fake.
“No?” Xu Sheng stopped moving. “Then what is it?”
“It… you can’t eat it…” Mo Ruxue felt that saying this drained all her strength, as if she were about to break down.
“What, you’re guarding your food?” Xu Sheng frowned in mock anger. “Fairy Mo, do you know what punishment a dog that guards its food receives?”
Xu Sheng’s words hit too many sensitive notes for Mo Ruxue.
What does “guarding food” mean…
Was she a dog?
That was Mo Ruxue’s first thought upon hearing the first half, accompanied by an intense shame.
Then came “dog that guards its food”… “punishment”…
These terms were far too advanced for Mo Ruxue.
Could these words even form a sentence?
Did it mean…
She was a dog, she guarded her food, she had to be punished…
Mo Ruxue had never imagined she would be humiliated like this, and that Xu Sheng didn’t even see it as humiliation.
Or rather, only her rationality told her it was humiliation.
Her emotional side seemed completely oblivious, filled only with an inexplicable excitement, thrill, and shame.
“Hey, a dog that pretends not to hear also needs punishment.” Xu Sheng’s cold voice cut through her thoughts.
Mo Ruxue wanted to argue.
Argue what?
Argue that she wasn’t a dog…
Though that retort seemed rather weak compared to Xu Sheng’s casual assertion, it was one of the few forms of resistance left to her in this state.
“I’m not—”
“Forget it, I won’t eat this time. Eating it smeared on a finger isn’t as convenient as drinking it directly.”
Mo Ruxue’s protest was cut off before it could sound, completely ignored by Xu Sheng.
Hearing his words, she even forgot she had been about to resist. It took several seconds to figure out what he meant by “eating it smeared” and “drinking it directly.”
Next time…
Xu Sheng meant next time he would…
Mo Ruxue couldn’t imagine that scene. Just the thought arising in her mind made her tremble.
How could that be…
How could it!
Absolutely not…
She even started shaking her head unconsciously.
Seeing her reaction, Xu Sheng was slightly puzzled.
“Didn’t I show you the picture book? Didn’t you look at it carefully?”
Mo Ruxue blinked.
“I did look at it.”
Yes, she had seen that picture book.
The content was extremely explicit, full of plays she had never even heard of. But so much time had passed, and with her mind sluggish from the current situation, she truly hadn’t made the connection.
“Since you’ve seen it…” Xu Sheng seemed to think of something and said with a smile, “Since you’ve seen it, you should remember the part about eating grapes, right?”
Eating grapes…
Combined with his earlier “eating it smeared,” under Xu Sheng’s hint, Mo Ruxue easily associated what he meant.
Knowing she had caught on, Xu Sheng continued:
“Mm… Remember the postnatal Dao Fruit Li Qingqing mentioned? That thing is about the same size as a grape.”
