Chapter 75: Innate Physique

After some coaxing, Meihui finally returned to normal and began to smile again. When Ye Jun teased her, she would blush and scold him, even though she couldn’t hide her smile.

He knew she still needed some time to process everything, but she was trying. And that was enough.

“You’re a lot closer than I thought,” Song Liangxue said, crossing her legs, which gave glimpses of her milky thighs under her dress. She didn’t seem to care much about being seen either.

“What can I say? I’m so handsome and clever that every woman instantly falls for me,” Ye Jun sighed. “It’s a burden, truly.”

“You should stop your narcissism,” Meihui snorted. “You aren’t even that handsome.”

“Now, now, you know that’s not true,” Song Liangxue quickly interrupted. “He is handsome. I wouldn’t have my husband otherwise.”

“You don’t have to put him on such a high pedestal. He already flies too high,” Meihui countered.

“Good! My husband deserves that status,” Song Liangxue nodded in all seriousness.

“You…” Meihui pointed at her. “You two are a match made by the heavens.”

“I certainly like that,” Song Liangxue rubbed her chin thoughtfully before turning toward Ye Jun. “We’re actually a perfect match, dear.”

“Stop teasing her,” Ye Jun rolled his eyes.

“What?” Meihui blinked in surprise. “You were teasing me?”

“See? She didn’t even realize it,” Ye Jun said.

“That makes her even cuter,” Song Liangxue smiled. “I like her already. That innocence of hers is genuinely adorable.”

“I’m older than both of you!” Meihui tried to assert her dominance using her age, though she failed miserably.

For the two of them, she looked cuter the more she tried to hide her blush and stand up for herself.

Seeing their amused expressions, Meihui felt her cheeks burning up and looked away. “Hmph! I won’t talk to either of you.”

“How cute!” Song Liangxue smiled. “I wouldn’t mind a little sister like you. I’ll spoil you a lot.”

“Elder sister!” Meihui corrected without turning back.

Song Liangxue giggled softly and turned her captivating eyes toward Ye Jun. “How long will it take?”

Knowing what she was referring to, Ye Jun grinned. “It’s a work in progress. Give me some time, dear.”

“Considering the target, it’s understandable.”

“Exactly.”

“You know, for someone who has only met twice, you two have great chemistry and understanding,” Meihui said, narrowing her eyes at them.

“You’ve already answered that question earlier,” Song Liangxue shifted closer to her and said. “We’re a match made by the heavens.”

“Also, weren’t you not going to talk to us?” Ye Jun asked.

“I have important matters to discuss,” Meihui said, her face turning serious. “Liangxue, can I call you that?”

“Just call me Xue,” Song Liangxue nodded.

“Xue, can I trust you?” Meihui asked. “I know I’m being naive, but I still want an answer.”

“It depends on what matter you want my trust for,” Song Liangxue replied calmly. “If it’s about keeping secrets, then you can trust me.”

Ye Jun smiled and leaned back. Song Liangxue was a smart woman, so he was sure she understood Meihui’s circumstances even without being told.

’And she has taken a liking to her. With the most prominent family in the North hiding her, she’ll be safe.’

“Then, have you heard any news about a search for Central Lands people?” Meihui asked.

“Aside from slave traders, not really,” Song Liangxue shook her head. “But I’ll have my people on the lookout. If we get any news, I’ll alert you.”

“I’m confused, though,” Ye Jun wiped his face and asked. “By associating with us, you’ll become famous, meaning people can easily find you.”

“True. Your disguise is very good, but they can still make connections,” Song Liangxue pointed out. “It isn’t hard.”

“No, they won’t. I can promise you that,” Meihui smiled wryly. “That’s why I chose this.”

Since she didn’t want to go into details, they didn’t pursue the matter further. Though they were curious about where her confidence came from. If she was already this strong, then how strong were her pursuers?

“By the way, how did you see through her disguise instantly when no one else could?” Ye Jun had been curious about that.

“I have the Heavenly Yin Innate Physique,” Song Liangxue replied casually. “It’s the reason why I can cultivate faster than others. And since females have more Yin, I can sense it.”

“I knew it, but still…” Meihui tilted her chin up. “I didn’t expect to see a Heavenly Innate Physique like this.”

“Hold on!” Ye Jun suddenly remembered something and asked, “Is your Innate Physique the reason we can’t do the deed?”

“Yes, I’m practicing a cultivation manual that works very well with this Innate Physique,” Song Liangxue nodded. “It requires me to absorb Yin Qi. The addition of Yang Qi would disrupt everything and may even lead to Qi deviation.”

She smiled softly and added, “It’s only necessary until I’m past a certain stage. It will allow me to balance my Yin aspect well enough to mingle with Yang. That’s why I said you’ll have to wait for me.”

“We can put that aside for now. I’m not some sex-hungry beast,” Ye Jun waved his hand dismissively. “But this will affect you mentally too, right?”

“Yes, which is why I don’t shy away from experiencing everything,” Song Liangxue smiled at that. “It helps me remember that I have emotions. Intense emotions. But don’t worry, I cherish my emotions and won’t sacrifice them for power.”

She leaned back and added, “After all, what’s the point of all that power if I can’t even enjoy it?”

“Agreed. That’s the thing I was most worried about,” Ye Jun heaved a sigh of relief.

“He can actually help you with that,” Meihui said, playing with her blonde hair. “Try to smell him. You’ll get something good.”

“I’ve had a whiff of it and it wasn’t enough,” Song Liangxue said, before her lips curled up. “Though, I wouldn’t mind smelling him again.”

As always, Song Liangxue didn’t just say things. She also did them. So she shifted her seat to sit beside Ye Jun and sniffed him, which amused him to no end.

“Hmm, there’s a manly smell mixed in with the filthy smell of someone’s blood.”

“Let me bathe first,” Ye Jun chuckled. “Then we can cuddle to sleep so you can sniff all you want.”

“Very tempting.”
