Peach Blossom Dual Cultivation - Chapter 44: Another Romantic Entanglement

“Sister Xue, let me help you to bed.”

Seeing that Li Mengxue was drunk, Zhou Lang supported her as they made their way to the bedroom. Although he desired something to happen between them, he was a righteous man and didn’t want to take advantage of her inebriated state.

After laying Li Mengxue down on the bed, Zhou Lang was about to leave when she suddenly sat up, looking scared, and tightly grabbed his hand.

“Zhou Lang, don’t… don’t leave me, okay?”

“Sister Xue, how about I stay here with you, just like that night? I’ll meditate on the floor,” Zhou Lang suggested, hesitating for a moment. He was already mentally preparing for another sleepless night. Being alone in a room with such stunning beauty and not letting his thoughts wander was going to be incredibly difficult.

“No… that’s not what I mean,” Li Mengxue muttered, her true feelings slipping out under the influence of alcohol.

“I know you’re not an ordinary person. I know after tonight, you won’t stay as my bodyguard. You’ll leave me… but… but I want you to stay by my side forever… to protect me. Will you promise me that?”

“Sister Xue, why are you saying that? I have no plans to leave you, as long as you’re willing to keep paying me this much each month,” Zhou Lang replied, taken aback. He had always thought of Li Mengxue as an independent woman, but now he realized she had developed a certain dependence and trust in him. Staying by her side, especially when she was such a beautiful woman, was something he would never refuse, even if it meant only sneaking looks at her using the X-ray Talismans.

“You’re not lying… to me?”

Li Mengxue asked, looking at Zhou Lang seriously.

“Of course not,” Zhou Lang nodded.

“You… you’re so sweet,” Li Mengxue giggled.

“You little rascal, earlier when you had a nosebleed, were you thinking naughty thoughts?”

“N-no…”

Zhou Lang replied, embarrassed.

“You are a little rascal. Look at you, your face is all red.”

Li Mengxue teased him, the alcohol giving her the courage to express her thoughts. Without it, she probably wouldn’t have been able to say these things.

“I’m not a little rascal anymore. I’m a grown man,” Zhou Lang responded. If it had been the old him, he might have admitted to being a rascal in front of such a mature beauty, but now, as a cultivator, he saw himself as a man.

“How are you going to prove it?”

Li Mengxue asked, her eyes sparkling with flirtation.

“Sister Xue, don’t you have a boyfriend?”

Zhou Lang asked boldly, sensing that she was encouraging him to be more proactive.

“Do you think I’d need you to protect me if I had a boyfriend?”

Li Mengxue replied shyly.

Without another word, Zhou Lang scooped her into his arms.

“Zhou Lang, what are you doing?”

Li Mengxue exclaimed in surprise.

“Proving I’m not a little boy, but a man. Besides, you don’t have a boyfriend,” Zhou Lang said as he held her, and then kissed her on the lips.

Li Mengxue’s mind went blank.

Zhou Lang’s aggressive, domineering kiss left her flustered and unsure of what to do.

But Zhou Lang didn’t stop there. His kiss grew more intense.

Li Mengxue, who weighed about 100 pounds, might have been heavy for the average man to hold while kissing, but for Zhou Lang, it was effortless. His kisses were so fierce that she began to melt in his arms.

Slowly, Li Mengxue wrapped her arms around Zhou Lang’s neck and started responding to his kiss.

Like drinking from the sweetest nectar, Zhou Lang’s desire surged. He gently laid Li Mengxue down on the bed.

His hands began to roam her body. Even through her pajamas, the shape of her chest changed under his touch.

Eventually, he undid her pajamas and turned off the bedroom light, leaving only the soft glow of the bedside lamp.

Li Mengxue, although a mature woman, hadn’t been physically intimate with anyone. Despite her age, she was still a virgin. Under Zhou Lang’s caresses, like him, she found it hard to maintain control.

But when Zhou Lang turned off the light, she snapped out of her daze.

“You naughty boy, you really want to have your way with me, don’t you?” Li Mengxue, now left in nothing but her thong, blushed and buried herself in Zhou Lang’s chest.

“Sister Xue, I just wanted to prove I’m a man,” Zhou Lang said, breathing heavily.

“I think you just couldn’t control yourself. I believe you’re a real man now,” Li Mengxue whispered.

“But… but I’m not ready to become a woman yet.”

Zhou Lang understood and replied, “Don’t worry, Sister Xue. I, Zhou Lang, am not a beast. I won’t force myself on you without your consent.”

There was another reason he didn’t push further—his cultivation hadn’t reached the Golden Core stage yet. Engaging in intimate relations with an ordinary woman could hinder his future cultivation progress.

“You rascal,” Li Mengxue said shyly.

“But you can sleep here tonight. Just don’t try anything funny.”

“Sister Xue trusts me so much. I’ll live up to that trust,” Zhou Lang said with a smile. Even though they wouldn’t go all the way, just being able to sleep beside such a beautiful woman like Li Mengxue was already wonderful.

Out of embarrassment, Li Mengxue turned off the bedside lamp as well.

In the darkness, the two held each other tightly in bed. However, Zhou Lang’s hands didn’t stay idle, continuing to explore her body. With his current cultivation, he could see perfectly in the dark, and Li Mengxue’s nearly flawless figure was fully visible to him.

…

In the morning, Zhou Lang woke up early. In truth, he hadn’t slept at all the previous night. How could he, while holding a sexy, mature beauty like Li Mengxue, who was only wearing a thong? Yet, when he got up, he still felt full of energy.

Li Mengxue hadn’t slept much last night either. Zhou Lang’s caresses had left her in a state of emotional turmoil. She wanted to become Zhou Lang’s woman but wasn’t fully prepared. So, she held back, not allowing him to cross the final line. After all, there was a noticeable age gap between them, and she wasn’t sure if Zhou Lang truly liked her.

Zhou Lang looked at Li Mengxue lying in bed, her skin soft and smooth like fine white jade, and felt another surge of desire.

“I’ve gotten myself into another romantic entanglement,” Zhou Lang sighed, covering Li Mengxue with a blanket before leaving the bedroom.

…

After washing up, Zhou Lang went into the kitchen and made some millet porridge, which he then brought to the dining table.

Soon after, Li Mengxue woke up and came to the dining room.

“Zhou Lang, I didn’t know you could make porridge,” said Li Mengxue with a hint of surprise after tasting the dish. Dressed in a casual white outfit, she found the taste quite good. Although they had slept together the night before, she still felt a bit embarrassed seeing Zhou Lang, as they weren’t exactly a couple.

“I’ve been making porridge and cooking since I was a kid,” Zhou Lang replied with a smile.

After finishing breakfast, Li Mengxue found some clothes for Zhou Lang, and after changing out of his sleepwear, he prepared to leave.

“Since I’m already yours, you’d better come pick me up on time every day from now on,” Li Mengxue teased, though it was clear she had grown fond of spending time with him.

“Sister Xue, you haven’t fully given yourself to me yet,” Zhou Lang responded with a grin.

“You naughty boy. If you want it, do you think… do you think I wouldn’t give it to you?”

Li Mengxue said, her face turning red.
