LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 45 - I
At noon the following day, Shi Yi was sorting the wild fruits they had gathered in the courtyard.
An inexplicable rush of heat surged up, flowing down his waist, and he immediately felt something vaguely spilling out.
Before he could feel ashamed, a fierce wave of heat made his legs give way, and he tumbled, knocking over the freshly arranged wild fruits.
Hearing the commotion, Pei Xing rushed out of the house. When he saw Shi Yi on the ground, he quickly helped him up. As he held Shi Yi, he sensed something was amiss.
Shi Yi’s entire body was overwhelmed by heat. As he drew near Pei Xing, he pressed against him, wrapped his legs around his waist, nuzzled his face against Pei Xing’s neck, and affectionately called his name.
Pei Xing’s throat bobbed up and down. He held Shi Yi’s behind with one hand and gently caressed his back with the other before swiftly heading back to the room.
In the room, Shi Yi clung tightly to him, refusing to let go.
After Pei Xing kissed and comforted him, he created a small space and proceeded to undo his belt.
Shi Yi leaned forward again, burying his head in Pei Xing’s arms. Seeing Shi Yi’s helplessness, Pei Xing smiled and raised his hand to cup Shi Yi’s fair and tender chin, kissing him.
As if a volcano within him found an outlet, Shi Yi gripped Pei Xing’s clothes tightly and raised his head to absorb his warmth.
The mountain breeze was slightly cool, while the bamboo house exuded warmth and allure. A few sweet, blush-inducing sounds intermittently escaped, startling the birds that had come to search for food in the courtyard. Curious, they fluttered away.
Though this period of passion wave was less intense than their early days of marriage, it remained torturous.
Like a light drizzle, it continued intermittently.
During these moments, Shi Yi keenly felt the waves of maddening heat within him, and he could only cling to Pei Xing, helplessly.
When the heat subsided, he completely relaxed and fell asleep in Pei Xing’s arms.
.
Pei Xing went to the kitchen to prepare hot soup by the oil lamp.
After finishing the stew, Pei Xing took a bowl and entered the room. Shi Yi had already woken up, sitting on the bed with a thin quilt slipped down to his waist, his exposed upper body marked with traces of their intimate encounter.
Upon seeing Pei Xing, he rubbed his half-opened eyes and asked in a hoarse, somewhat plaintive voice, “Where were you?”
At this moment, Shi Yi didn’t realize how aggrieved he sounded, like an injured kitten.
Pei Xing’s heart softened, and he quickly fetched some clothes to cover Shi Yi’s naked form.
He carried Shi Yi to the table, seated him on his lap, took the bowl of hot soup, blew on a spoonful, and fed it to the person in his arms.
“It’s been a while since you’ve eaten. Let’s have something before going to sleep.”
As the delicious aroma filled the air, Shi Yi’s stomach growled. He touched his stomach sheepishly and quickly savored the milky white, tempting soup.
“It’s delicious! I can do it myself!” Shi Yi’s eyes brightened, and he took the spoon, asking Pei Xing to place the bowl on the table. He ate heartily and then looked up, inquiring, “Have you eaten?”
“Yes.” Pei Xing brushed the hair from Shi Yi’s face and said, “Take your time, there’s plenty left in the pot.”
Shi Yi shook his head and said nothing more. The bowl before him was sufficient, resembling a small basin, and he couldn’t consume another.
Pei Xing gently held his waist. During this phase of their love making, Shi Yi might not have realized how much gentler he had become and how attached he was to Pei Xing.
Over the next three days, Pei Xing witnessed just how attached Shi Yi had become.
When it first happened on their wedding night, Shi Yi was a bit disoriented due to the effects of the red lotus fruit. However, this time, he remained awake throughout the entire experience. Even after the fever had subsided, he had the energy to play in their bamboo house.
Yet, he couldn’t bear to be apart from Pei Xing for even a moment. The moment Shi Yi lost sight of Pei Xing, he would cry out with tears in his eyes, making Pei Xing reluctant to leave his side.
Shi Yi’s passion wave lasted for seven days in total. The first three days were more intense, lasting nearly three hours each time. In the following days, it shortened to around an hour and a half, but Shi Yi remained very affectionate.
Deep within the dense forest, there was no one to disturb them. Shi Yi seemed ready to claim whatever he desired once more. In the past few days, Pei Xing simply let go and enjoyed pressing Shi Yi down. However, Shi Yi made quite a bit of noise during their intimate moments. Thankfully, they were in the mountains, so they didn’t have to worry about others overhearing.
.
On the last day, the sun shone brightly and warmly, and Pei Xing sat in a hot spring, basking in the sun after removing his clothes.
Not far from the creek, Zhu Laosan and his group laughed and chatted, enjoying barbecue and wine.
“Laosan, we’re going to make a fortune following you this time.”
One of the men laughed heartily. Zhu Laosan became even prouder upon receiving the compliment but tried to maintain a calm facade.
“Easy to say, easy to say. It’s all thanks to you, my brothers, for accompanying me into this deep and ancient forest.”
“Hahaha, it was right to follow you. Our journey was smooth, and we didn’t encounter any major beasts. What about the others? You’re so lucky.”
Zhu Laosan was quite fortunate since childhood, able to turn any danger into good fortune. Even when he visited the gambling house, he won nine times out of ten, amassing significant winnings.
This time, he overheard at the Zhongzhou Gambling House that the City Master of Zhongzhou City was searching for Ganoderma lucidum, so he came with his group of brothers. To his surprise, they actually found two of them, and the specimens were quite mature.
“Hurry up and eat. Let’s explore further while it’s still early. If we find another one, we’ll earn even more.”
The group trusted his words and set out after filling their stomachs.
Zhu Laosan instructed his companions to split into three groups, and he took two people with him.
By chance, after indulging in drinks, Zhu Laosan wandered away from the others and decided to take a leisurely walk. As he looked around, he noticed a bamboo house hidden deep in the dense forest in the distance. Curiosity got the best of him, and he approached it.
