Chapter 233 It's all yours
Guan Xun was startled by the sudden kiss, his smile instantly freezing, then turning darker, with a hint of triumph in his eyes.
"You fall for this, don't you?"
The Imperial Tutor remained silent, his icy eyes fixed on her with a deep gaze, the emotions surging within them almost consuming her.
He narrowed his eyes, tightened his grip on her wrist suddenly, and pulled her sharply!
A ripple spread across the pool water, and the Imperial Tutor's other hand reached out to encircle her waist, his palm pressed against the half-soaked fabric. The scorching heat penetrated the wet clothes and reached her skin, pulling her roughly towards him.
The two were pressed close together, their bodies intertwined in an ambiguous atmosphere.
The Imperial Tutor lowered his head, his thin lips brushing against Guan Xun's earlobe, his moist breath spraying down as he gently kissed her earlobe.
Guan Xun shuddered, his fingertips instantly curled up, and even his breathing became slightly disordered.
How did this person suddenly become so good at flirting?
She only felt the grip on her waist tighten even more, and the voice that reached her ears was already tinged with extreme hoarseness, like a string stretched to its limit: "Mmm."
The last syllable trembled slightly, as if it were about to break through all restraint in the next second.
Guan Xun's breathing became slightly sluggish, a surge of heat rushed up her spine, and her head felt hot. As if realizing something, her earlier teasing vanished completely, leaving only a vague sense of panic.
Her curled fingertips gently pressed against the Imperial Tutor's shoulder, trying to use the force to push him away a little, but before she could exert any force, the hand around her waist suddenly moved upwards, its palm burning hot as it pressed firmly against her back.
They pressed closer together, as if only a thin layer of clothing separated their hearts, their heavy, rapid heartbeats pounding against each other.
The man, who was usually indifferent, was now like a piece of burning coals: "You shouldn't have provoked me. Now that you have, don't even think about escaping."
Hearing this, her heart warmed. She slightly raised her fingertips and placed them on the Imperial Tutor's chin, forcing him to look up and face her directly. Her gaze was fixed on his eyes, which were filled with shadows, and she asked, "Did I guess right?"
The Imperial Tutor gazed at him, his slightly heavy breathing calming down a little. He pursed his lips, and after a long while, clear words finally fell: "Yes, I can't bear to part with it."
The Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower was picked, and he should have perished, but in the end, he followed his heart.
Guan Xun felt a slight pang in his heart, and a sense of melancholy welled up within him.
The hand that lifted the Imperial Tutor's chin slowly slid down to his face, the fingertips gently caressing his burning skin with a hint of longing.
Then, he leaned closer, his nose brushing against his, their breaths mingling, and his soft lips gently covered his, deepening the kiss in the misty steam.
The Imperial Tutor was slightly taken aback, then leaned forward and took the initiative.
……
Inside the underground palace, within the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
The hot and cold air currents, unable to disperse due to the confinement of the Nine Fire Dragon Cover, had already intertwined into mist.
The Imperial Tutor held the unconscious Guan Xun firmly in his arms with one arm.
Fine beads of sweat glistened on her forehead, her cheek rested lightly against his shoulder, and a lingering blush remained on her cheeks, as if she were still disturbed by the energy imbalance within her body.
The Imperial Tutor held the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower in mid-air with his other hand. The ice-blue petals were covered with frost, and a shimmering blue vortex swirled around the flower's stamen, stirring up the surrounding ice and fire energies like a whale sucking up rivers. It also drew out the restless excess energy from Guan Xun's body, turning it into strands of light that flowed into the flower bud.
As the ice-blue color of the Infant Cicada Flower grew clearer and clearer, the surrounding fog thinned, and Guan Xun's expression gradually calmed down.
The Imperial Tutor lowered his eyes to look at the slightly furrowed brows of the person in his arms, his fingertips unconsciously stroking her cool hair.
Soon, as the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower continued to absorb energy, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well completely dried up, its energy completely drained. What was originally a place conducive to cultivation had become a wasteland.
With a slight twitch of his fingertips, the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower shrank visibly in the Imperial Tutor's hand, transforming into a half-open, ice-blue bud no larger than the palm of his hand.
He lowered his eyes, looking at the dense markings on Guan Xun's body, and immediately activated the energy of the flower bud in his palm, directing wisps of icy blue to seep into his body.
After flashing a few times, the patterns slowly faded away.
These are patterns that only appear after a Spirit Master breaks through to the Hundredth Level and enters the Divine Realm. Guan Xun's current cultivation level is not high enough to activate them, but due to consuming the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower, they appeared even though it did not meet his cultivation level.
The tattoos and the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower have long been intertwined. Without the continued supply of energy from the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower, the tattoos visible on the skin will not dissipate.
With him around, the energy of the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower will no longer become agitated.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the Imperial Tutor returned the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower to Guan Xun's body without hesitation.
"The flowers are yours."
He paused, and his usually cold and aloof eyes softened with a rare gentleness. His tone was calm, but a faint smile lingered at the end of his sentence.
"I belong to you now."
A gentle mist hangs in the air, words spoken softly yet profoundly.
Just then, hurried footsteps came from a hidden path nearby.
A figure in a purple robe suddenly burst out from inside, breaking the atmosphere.
Bai Ze was quite familiar with this place, and as soon as he jumped out, his eyes were fixed on the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
They happened to run into the indifferent gaze of the Imperial Tutor.
Upon catching sight of the white figure, he froze on the spot, his eyes wide open, unable to recover from his astonishment for a long time.
The next second, he couldn't contain his joy and stomped his feet excitedly, wiping his face vigorously. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought his face was covered in tears and snot.
Forget about appearances, Bai Ze roared and charged forward.
"大丿..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he felt the gaze directed at him suddenly turn icy.
He held his breath and immediately fell silent.
The Imperial Tutor's eyes suddenly darkened, his index finger quickly pressed to his lips, his brows furrowed, and his gaze carried an undeniable pressure, signaling him to shut up.
Bai Ze shuddered, abruptly stopping in his tracks, swallowing the shout he was about to utter, and calming himself down a little.
Just as he was about to suppress his excitement, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Guan Xun in the arms of the Imperial Tutor.
That person, who was always aloof and distant, whose eyes even seemed icy in his memory, was now steadily embracing someone else...?
He stared in disbelief, his face, which had been beaming with joy just moments before, suddenly froze. All his elation was shattered by this unexpected turn of events, and only one thought remained in his mind: It's over.
It seems he's decided to accept Guan Xun as his master.
The commotion wasn't loud, but it still disturbed Guan Xun. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a muffled murmur escaped her throat as she frowned, her eyes slowly opening.
The Imperial Tutor's eyes darkened slightly, and his cold gaze instantly shot towards Bai Ze, his brows furrowing as he signaled him not to say anything more.
Bai Ze's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly nodded.
The next second, a faint icy blue light emanated from the Imperial Tutor's body. He held Guan Xun in his arms without changing his posture, but his figure vanished like mist, leaving only a fleeting chill in the air.
Bai Ze was left standing there, stunned.
Guan Xun opened his eyes with a splitting headache, feeling as if all the bones in his body had fallen apart, accompanied by a dull, aching pain.
The first thing that catches the eye is the Yin-Yang Well beneath the seat, where the two extreme auras of cold and heat that used to intertwine have dissipated, leaving only a pool of ordinary clear water.
Feeling a faint, cool sensation all around her, she couldn't help but shrink back and subconsciously looked around.
When he saw the purple-robed figure standing not far away, he frowned and spoke with a hint of doubt.
"Bai Ze? What are you doing here?"
