Chapter 309: How Much Do You Actually Know About Me?

Night fell, stars dotted the sky, and the bright moonlight spilled into the courtyard, reflecting off the bamboo and cypress trees.

In a guest room of the Snow Crane Inn, candlelight mingled with the moonlight that had stealthily crept in along the windowsill, casting a shadow of the man in the room.

This man was Lin Xun.

Lin Xun stood before the bed with an extremely displeased expression.

Two days had already passed since the trial at Heart Refining Mountain.

Today, Lin Xun had listened to some tunes at a pleasure house in Mengdie City, but upon returning to the inn, he heard the proprietress say something like, ‘Your Young Master’s Dao Companion is so beautiful.’

Lin Xun thought, ‘This is bad,’ and hurriedly ran upstairs.

When he opened the door, his entire forehead darkened.

On Lin Xun’s bed was She Qiqi, who had changed into a strappy nightgown.

Lin Xun didn’t know how She Qiqi had found out about his whereabouts.

But that didn’t matter anymore.

What mattered was that She Qiqi was now lying nonchalantly on his quilt as if nothing was wrong.

The hem of her gown just barely reached her thighs, her long, shapely jade-like legs stretched out on the cotton quilt.

Following the girl’s jade-like legs upward, one could see her graceful curves, which clearly indicated she was very well-suited for childbearing.

Following the curves further up, it was like sliding from a mountain peak to a plain; her slender willow-like waist seemed as soft as that of a beautiful snake.

Speaking of which, this was indeed a snake spirit.

Large areas of She Qiqi’s skin were exposed, her black hair cascading over her delicate collarbone. The glimpses of fair, plump skin revealed under her loose nightgown made the temperature in the air rise involuntarily.

“I’ll say this only once! Get out!”

Lin Xun closed his eyes and rubbed the corners of them.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, the image of She Qiqi’s lazy, seductive appearance seemed to imprint itself into his heart.

Lin Xun was so startled he quickly opened his eyes again.

“Out?”

She Qiqi didn’t even glance at Lin Xun, continuing to flip through a book she had placed on the pillow.

The girl’s calves swayed back and forth slightly, pivoting at the knees. Each sway revealed more of the fairness of her thighs.

Lin Xun thought it was only because of his strong willpower; otherwise, if it were anyone else, her legs would have been licked raw!

“You are my possession. What’s yours is mine, your room is my room. Why should I leave?” She Qiqi stated matter-of-factly.

“When did I become your possession?” Lin Xun laughed, mainly out of anger. How could this snake spirit’s train of thought be so bizarre?

“The moment I decided it, you already became my thing.”

Closing the book, She Qiqi finally deigned to look at Lin Xun.

A slight hook appeared at the corner of her mouth as she faced Lin Xun, propping herself up with her hands behind her. One small foot rested on the quilt, while the other pink, crystalline foot tensed slightly and slowly stretched forward. The hem of her gown, constrained by Newton’s laws, draped over the quilt.

“You seem to really like my feet and my legs,” She Qiqi teased. “That’s fine. Since you’re my thing, I’ll allow you to lick my feet. Consider it your reward, a reward just for you.”

“My preferences aren’t that weird!”

“Dammit!”

Lin Xun almost drew his blade.

Ugh!

Why is this snake so perverted?

“She Qiqi!” Lin Xun took a deep breath. “What do you actually want? Because of Chu Yaoyao, I won’t kill you right now, but I have countless ways to torment you. I’m not a good person!”

“Torment me?” She Qiqi lightly pinched a corner of her gown, her eyes seductive as silk. “How would you torment me?”

“!!!”

“Hehehe.”

Seeing Lin Xun’s helpless expression, She Qiqi let out a hen-like chuckle.

“Enough.”

She Qiqi got down from the bed and sat on a stool, crossing her fair, jade-like legs.

She Qiqi slowly poured herself a cup of tea. In an instant, her previously extremely seductive demeanor abruptly transformed into that of an overbearing queen.

As if the entire world were to be played in the palm of her hand.

She Qiqi put down the teacup. Her slender, jade-onion-like fingers beckoned to Lin Xun, then pointed beneath her fair, pinkish little feet.

Lin Xun: “???”

“Tsk.” She Qiqi clicked her tongue, looking quite annoyed that Lin Xun didn’t understand her meaning. “Come here, lie down. I want to step on you.”

“?!?!”

“Fine, let’s talk business first.” Just as Lin Xun was about to lose his patience and pick her up to throw her out of the room, She Qiqi spoke up. “The Rootless Secret Realm—how about we cooperate?”

“Cooperate?” Lin Xun looked at her as if she were an idiot. “What I want, I can definitely get on my own. Why should I cooperate with you?”

“Hmm, true.”

She Qiqi nodded.

“What you want, you can indeed get yourself. But if you help me get what I want, I can promise you this:

Within fifty years, no matter what storms Chu Yaoyao stirs up in the Demon Race World, I can guarantee her safety. How about it?”

Lin Xun sat down in front of She Qiqi, took a sip of tea to calm his anger. “Why should I believe you?”

“Why shouldn’t you believe me?” She Qiqi extended her fair little foot, placing it on Lin Xun’s thigh, but Lin Xun immediately slapped it away.

Damn! Her foot is so tender and smooth!

Having her foot slapped away, She Qiqi looked somewhat displeased. Her pearl-like cute toes forcefully kicked Lin Xun’s calf.

But the girl’s originally soft foot couldn’t hurt no matter how hard she kicked.

“Lin Xun, whether you believe it or not, if you want to add an extra layer of insurance for Chu Yaoyao, you can only trust me. Moreover, if you don’t help me…”

She Qiqi’s lips curled slightly.

“…unless you change your identity again and use another method to enter the Rootless Secret Realm, I will expose you.”

Lin Xun glanced at She Qiqi. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll expose you?”

“I am afraid, but you won’t do it.”

She Qiqi suddenly got up and sat on Lin Xun’s lap. Nestled in his embrace, the girl stretched lazily, filling his arms with warmth and softness.

“Lin Xun, you will cooperate with me because you dislike trouble, and also because you care about Chu Yaoyao.”

She Qiqi lazily leaned against Lin Xun’s back, as if he had now become her pillow.

For She Qiqi, at this moment, Lin Xun was indeed just a pillow.

“Furthermore, Lin Xun, I believe the thing I want will definitely interest you. After all, Sikong Wangxing of Tianji City is truly adorable—delicate, soft, and so pitiable.

If it were me, I definitely couldn’t bear to see such a lovely girl meet a tragic end.”

“She Qiqi.”

Lin Xun lowered his head and saw that glimpse of fair ‘Blade-less Ravine’.

However, Lin Xun had no mind to appreciate it at the moment.

“How much do you actually know about me?”
