Chapter 214: Chapter 157: Soaking in the Hot Spring

Shen Ruoxi was slightly taken aback, and her face instantly blossomed with a look of surprise and delight, “There’s actually a hot spring here?”

Jun Moling nodded with a smile, “Of course there is! Soaking in it can make a person feel much more relaxed and refreshed. Would my lady like to go?”

Shen Ruoxi was about to agree happily, but a warning suddenly surged in her heart.

This guy, could he have planned for me to soak in the hot spring from the start?

What is his true motive?

Thinking this, Shen Ruoxi’s gaze fixed on him, scrutinizingly.

Originally, Jun Moling just simply wanted to enjoy the comfort of the hot spring with her.

However, upon seeing her peculiar expression, and thinking about the charming sight she might present while soaking, an untoward thought suddenly crossed his mind.

As soon as this thought arose, and when he met her eyes that seemed to pierce through everything, the mighty Prince Zhan actually blushed, as if his impure thoughts had been caught right on the spot.

“My lady.” He called softly, but felt the more he explained at this moment, the more it seemed like he had ulterior motives.

Jun Moling simply laughed, “I just really want my lady to relax. If there’s anything you need, I will do my utmost to serve you.”

“Oh, stop it. What needs would I have,” Shen Ruoxi gave him a playful glare.

But the allure of the hot spring was really irresistible, after hesitating for a long time, she finally said, “Alright, but you’d better behave.”

Jun Moling couldn’t help but laugh, “I’ll try my best.”

Shen Ruoxi knew well, when it came to thick skin, she really was no match for her own husband, so she quickly tugged at his sleeve, “Let’s go, let’s go!”

This hot spring was outdoors, but the entire area was surrounded by a tall fence-like natural barrier, isolating it from the outside world, making it hard for others to enter.

Jun Moling led Shen Ruoxi inside, locked the door, and then brought her to the edge of the hot spring.

The hot spring was steaming, and without saying a word, Jun Moling began to undress.

Shen Ruoxi’s gaze fell on her husband, his physique was indeed impeccable.

But the scars all over his body could not help but make one imagine the intense battles he had been through and how severe his injuries were on the battlefield.

Jun Moling noticed her staring at him intently, while she remained fully dressed, and inexplicably blushed.

He leaped, pouncing toward Shen Ruoxi, and began pulling at her clothes, “My lady, you should undress too.”

Shen Ruoxi let out a startled cry, followed by a silvery laugh, “I’ll do it myself, I tell you, I still have some aches. If you try anything naughty, my martial arts are no worse than yours.”

Jun Moling couldn’t help but chuckle, “What does my lady take me for? I could never bear to harm you, but you’re free to do whatever you want to me.”

Shen Ruoxi bashfully punched him, “Be honest, stop teasing, I’m really feeling a bit uncomfortable.”

“Still uncomfortable? Let me take a look,” Jun Moling said, moving closer.

“Take a look?”

Shen Ruoxi’s face turned instantly red, glaring at him with a playful fury, “What are you looking at? Stay away.”

Jun Moling chuckled, Shen Ruoxi glared at him again, but she herself lowered her head with a laugh.

Both occupying one side, Shen Ruoxi gently exhaled a contented breath.

The benefits of soaking in the hot spring were indeed numerous, but unfortunately, there wasn’t one in Capital City, nor where she lived, so today she intended to enjoy it thoroughly.

She slowly closed her eyes, indulging in the warm embrace of the water.

Just as she fully immersed herself in the pleasure, a restless hand suddenly reached over.

Shen Ruoxi was momentarily surprised but then without hesitation, swatted it away with a touch of displeasure as she warned, “Jun Moling.”

“My lady, I am your husband. Don’t call me by my full name. I just wanted to give you a nice rub,” Jun Moling’s voice carried a bit of grievance, like that of a large pet.

“That’s not necessary, stay away!” Shen Ruoxi’s tone held a warning, implying that she knew exactly what he intended. No good intentions, for sure.

Jun Moling laughed at her wary expression, “My lady, you’ve been traveling in a carriage, accumulating a lot of dust on you. Just soaking like this isn’t enough; you really should have a good scrub.”

With that, he didn’t give Shen Ruoxi a chance to refuse, moving closer, with that restless hand acting unruly.

Shen Ruoxi shuddered; the hot spring water was already quite warm, and his hand, calloused from years of battle, felt lethal with such touch.

Shen Ruoxi hurriedly grasped his hand, and in that instant, her eyes unexpectedly met those deep, black pupils.

Back at the border city, Shen Ruoxi found herself defenseless against Jun Moling’s eyes; they were simply too attractive, laden with deep affection, always drawing her in unconsciously.

Almost by some unseen force, Shen Ruoxi’s lips involuntarily neared his eyes, gently kissing them.

Jun Moling’s body quivered slightly, his eyes igniting with a more intense flame as he stared fixedly at Shen Ruoxi, his breathing becoming rapid.

In the hot spring, mist rose, cloaking their faces in an enchanting haze.

Shen Ruoxi’s face was flushed with a charming blush, like a peach blossom in full bloom.

Jun Moling could no longer restrain his emotions, pulling Shen Ruoxi tightly into his arms and kissing her deeply.

The two were lost in the fervor of the kiss, completely absorbed.

The surrounding temperature seemed to climb higher with their passionate kiss.

However, as Shen Ruoxi was suddenly brought back to her senses, she playfully scolded, “Jun Moling, it’s broad daylight.”

Jun Moling knew full well he couldn’t have her here, understanding she might not have fully recovered since she kept saying she was in pain.

He had intended to properly examine her in the evening back at their home, yet the self-restraint was exceedingly difficult at this moment.

He felt about to explode but could only grit his teeth to release her, taking deep breaths, attempting to quell the tidal surge of impulse.

Shen Ruoxi felt similarly unsettled. Watching him swim to the side, showing a restraint like he had just been through a fierce battle, she couldn’t help but laugh.

Jun Moling was regulating his emotions internally, but at the turn of his head, he saw her with flushed cheeks, smiling as brightly as a blooming flower.

In an instant, there was a “boom” in his mind, and the taut string of reason snapped entirely.

He rushed over impulsively, pressing her against the edge of the pool.

Shen Ruoxi was shocked and horrified.

Though knowing this place was inaccessible to others and unseen by any prying eyes, it was still beneath the mid-day sun.

This…

Whether from her master’s teachings or her parents’ guidance, Shen Ruoxi could not accept intimate affairs under such circumstances.

She pushed Jun Moling forcefully, saying, “Are you crazy? Later tonight…”

This was her final line.

However, his burning body coiled tightly around her, and Jun Moling’s voice was hoarse, “My lady, can’t wait any longer.”

With those words, the fiery kisses landed once more.

If she’d known beforehand that soaking in the hot spring would end in such complete surrender, Shen Ruoxi certainly would not have come; how did he lose control in broad daylight?

Though she thought of pushing him away, to refuse, her train of thought was swiftly derailed by the increasingly fervent kisses, maybe displeased with her distraction, his kisses grew fiercer.

With a muddled mind, Shen Ruoxi thought, alright, let it be!

Eventually, it was in Jun Moling’s arms that Shen Ruoxi returned.

This time, it wasn’t because she fainted from exhaustion, but rather the soreness in her back and waist, especially in certain places, she felt perhaps she was injured, severely uncomfortable.

So, he had no choice but to carry her down the mountain.

Perhaps due to feeling guilty, upon reaching the entrance, she steadfastly refused to let Jun Moling carry her inside.

Jun Moling, helpless, gently set her down, watching her awkwardly walk, guilt gnawing at his heart: “I really went too far earlier; mustn’t be impulsive again.”

Since they were scheduled to return tomorrow, they had to make their way back to the Capital City.

Jun Moling wanted to examine her for injuries but was scared off by her fierce expression, like a menacing tiger, so he had to hold off, intending to address it at the Prince Mansion later.

Their carriage entered the city just as the gates were closing and stopped slowly at the entrance of the Prince Mansion.

As soon as Shen Ruoxi was carried down from the carriage by Jun Moling, she saw a slender figure darting from the shadows, rushing toward the two of them.
