CSMCDB - Chapter 182

Chapter 182

"You didn't do anything wrong." Lin Jinyu was a little flustered. She raised her hands, wanting to hug Wen Yuncheng back. Wen Yuncheng took the opportunity to sit right on her lap and wrap her arms around her neck.

"Jinyu…" With a soft sigh, Wen Yuncheng lowered her head and kissed Lin Jinyu's lips. "I made you unhappy."

In the very beginning, she couldn't bear to let Lin Jinyu feel even the slightest bit troubled, yet now she was making her worry and suffer time and again, even making the Little Ice Mountain cry.

"That's normal." Lin Jinyu wrapped her arms around Wen Yuncheng's waist, holding her in her embrace. "But it's nothing, because the happiness I've gained is far greater."

Wen Yuncheng hummed sullenly and kissed Lin Jinyu's chin again. "Jinyu."

"Hm?"

Wen Yuncheng didn't speak. She lowered her head and kissed Lin Jinyu's neck. Lin Jinyu felt a little ticklish from her breath, and then she felt the touch of a soft, wet tongue—

Lin Jinyu pushed her head away. Fortunately, she didn't push her all the way to the floor. Wen Yuncheng rubbed her forehead, looking aggrieved. "Your neck… there was a drop of water on it just now."

Lin Jinyu stared at her, seemingly wanting her to get off her lap.

Wen Yuncheng softened her voice. "I just wanted to kiss you…"

"That wasn't a kiss just now."

"It's all an act of intimacy, it's the same thing," Wen Yuncheng said with a serious face. If Lin Jinyu wanted to lick her, she'd be happy to let her. But the Little Ice Mountain was clearly… very shy.

"…Is that so?" Lin Jinyu looked hesitant.

"You can do it to me, too," Wen Yuncheng said, her arms still around Lin Jinyu's neck. She tilted her head. The Little Ice Mountain seemed really conservative in certain aspects… Well, of course, she probably had never learned about these things. Wen Yuncheng wanted to take things further with Lin Jinyu, but she also felt like she was bullying the Little Ice Mountain. "No matter what you do to me, I'll… like it very much."

The roots of Lin Jinyu's ears turned bright red. She averted her gaze evasively. "Get up first."

"Am I heavy?" Wen Yuncheng leaned in for another kiss. Lin Jinyu turned her head, causing the kiss to land on her cheek. But in the next instant, Wen Yuncheng leaned in and gently bit Lin Jinyu's earlobe—

Then, with a dull thud, she was once again in contact with the floor.

The three Apostles looked over again, making Wen Yuncheng's face burn. The next moment, she frowned, clutching her bottom and whimpering.

"The carpet is soft."

"…" Wen Yuncheng looked at Lin Jinyu resentfully. "Can't I be a little delicate?"

This time, it was Lin Jinyu's turn to be silent. She thought of the disgraceful state Wen Yuncheng had been in on the stage all those years ago. She raised a hand to rub the earlobe Wen Yuncheng had just bitten, which was still a little wet with her saliva. It was frighteningly hot.

Lin Jinyu stood up, swept Wen Yuncheng into her arms, and placed her on the bed. As she was about to let go, Wen Yuncheng clung tightly to her neck, refusing to let her leave.

"…It's too early." Lin Jinyu's eyes lowered slightly. She followed Wen Yuncheng's pull and pressed a kiss to her lips. "I'm very happy being with you. I've never regretted it. You don't have to… be like this."

Lin Jinyu was sensitive and prone to overthinking in this area. Seeing her expression, Wen Yuncheng knew she was reading too much into it. "Big Sis Lin~ I'm twenty-three…" Wen Yuncheng said in a low voice. "Do you want to marry me, or have me marry you?"

"Either is fine." Lin Jinyu relaxed. "Either is fine."

"Do you still want to sleep? Or cultivate?" Wen Yuncheng looked at Lin Jinyu, then released her and sat up. "Or… kiss me?"

Wen Yuncheng smiled. She raised a hand to her collar. "Jinyu, what if… I want to?"

"…" Lin Jinyu rarely felt hot, especially after her Star Power took on the attribute of ice energy. Even on a scorching summer day, she wouldn't feel any discomfort. But right now, it clearly wasn't summer.

She met Wen Yuncheng's gaze and felt as if a fire was burning inside her, bringing her reason and composure to the brink of collapse, leaving her at a complete loss…

Her chest was scorching, her heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably. Lin Jinyu's mouth felt dry, and she turned to pour a glass of water from the table and drank it. Her fingertips touched the cool glass, and an indescribable emotion and desire arose in her heart. Lin Jinyu instinctively wanted to avoid it, yet found it unbearable.

Wen Yuncheng started to laugh. How could Lin Jinyu be so cute? She herself had been incredibly shy, but seeing Lin Jinyu like this, Wen Yuncheng felt she could go on. She directly recalled the three Apostles into her inventory space, then knelt on the bed. "Lin Jinyu."

Lin Jinyu turned to look. Wen Yuncheng's fingers slid down from her collar and began to unfasten her clothes.


Lin Jinyu ran.

Wen Yuncheng's hand froze in place. She… hadn't been too excessive just now, had she? She was just… seductively, disrobing. That's all. Wen Yuncheng helplessly put her clothes back on. Just as she was about to get off the bed to find Lin Jinyu, she heard 1947 ask curiously:

[You're done that fast?]

Wen Yuncheng: ???

[Oh, my apologies. I saw the mosaic was gone and assumed you were finished. My mistake.] The old dad persona glanced at the room's environment, saw that nothing seemed to have happened, and was instantly disappointed. However, it sensed that Wen Yuncheng was about to retort, so it quickly said its piece and vanished again.

The moment Wen Yuncheng opened the door, she saw Lin Jinyu with her hand raised, about to open it from the other side. Before she could speak, she heard Lin Jinyu say seriously, "I don't know how yet. Let's go to the black market tomorrow."

The words on the tip of Wen Yuncheng's tongue were swallowed back down. She smiled. "Okay."

"I'm sorry…"

Wen Yuncheng felt like she was going to die from Lin Jinyu's cuteness. She pulled her inside. "Alright, it was my fault. I shouldn't have teased you, but you're just too cute… hehe. There's nothing to be sorry for~ You should cultivate first. I just woke up, so I'll probably assemble some parts for a while."

"…Mm." Lin Jinyu looked at Wen Yuncheng, seeming to want to say something but holding back. In the end, she said nothing and sat on the bed to cultivate with her eyes closed.

The Little Ice Mountain's flustered and extremely shy appearance was indeed adorable, but it wouldn't be good to push her too hard. Seeing Lin Jinyu gradually calm down and enter a state of cultivation, Wen Yuncheng breathed a small sigh of relief.

She rubbed her own burning ears, feeling a bit helpless. Still, not knowing how to do this kind of thing… and wanting to study it… no matter how you think about it, that's just too cute.

Wen Yuncheng felt that if she acted too forward and lecherous, she would definitely scare Lin Jinyu. So… it was better to let Lin Jinyu take the initiative. As long as the Little Ice Mountain made the first move, she could legitimately lust after Lin Jinyu's body, right?

Wen Yuncheng shook her head, not dwelling on it further. She began to seriously assemble the parts for the C-04 Self-Destruct Dog. As expected, when facing those high-level old monsters, a plan involving explosions and escape was safer. The blueprint for the C-04 had arrived at the perfect time.

However, the next time she would get a C-Series blueprint would be at level one hundred. Level one hundred… could she really unlock more blueprints then? Wen Yuncheng had a faint feeling that level 100, the stage of breaking through to the Saint rank, was a completely different world. By then…

[By then, you'll have become a mature Long Aotian!] 1947 said with a laugh. [At that time, you won't need me anymore. Of course, all the various templates will always belong to you~ If you miss me too much, you'll be perfectly capable of communicating with me then.]

Ah… Wen Yuncheng scratched her head. What if I don't miss you?

[…] The old dad's heart ached. It thought of the previous Long Aotian cubs who had "graduated." If those cubs didn't look for it, it couldn't be bothered with them either, but Wen Yuncheng was different! Wen Yuncheng was one it had nurtured with care! […Then I'll look for you, alright?]

Alright, alright, I'll definitely miss you. Wen Yuncheng placated 1947. She thought: Besides, level one hundred… sounds so far away.


Early the next morning, Lin Jinyu took Wen Yuncheng out. The two of them, cloaked in black and wearing masks, flew to the location of the black market.

"…Are we really going to buy it at the black market?" Wen Yuncheng felt it was a bit strange. "How about… we just forget it? 1947 must have some…"

[How dare you slander this system's innocence?! I do not!] 1947 instantly blew a fuse. [Do you have any idea what the System Purification Initiative is?]

"Then, should I go alone?"

"No, no, no, let's go together." Wen Yuncheng pressed her temples. 1947 had been too agitated just now, and its mechanical voice was so shrill it gave her a headache. "1947 doesn't have it. It said something about a System Purification Initiative, I don't get it anyway."

Lin Jinyu clearly didn't know what the "System Purification Initiative" was either. She nodded and took Wen Yuncheng's hand, heading toward the black market. The market was much smaller now, with very few people. After all… at a time like this, well.

In truth, this kind of material could also be bought at an auction house, but Wen Yuncheng was too embarrassed to go. Buying such things at an auction house required proof of identity and verification of age. If that information… were to leak, and Yan Ling found out, it would become wartime gossip… Wen Yuncheng felt that wouldn't be good. The black market was discreet enough.

The black market had plenty of this kind of material, in all sorts of types. Wen Yuncheng and Lin Jinyu picked out quite a few paper versions, then carefully selected a few exquisitely beautiful recording crystal versions, paid, and left.

[…Sigh.] 1947 looked at the crystals and books in Wen Yuncheng's hands and sighed. Once upon a time, before it was sanctioned by the System Purification Initiative, it too was an omniscient system.

By the time they returned to their residence, news from the war zone had arrived. After Wen Yuncheng swapped back, the half-step Saints arrived quickly. The five Huanling half-Saints who had been injured by Wen Yuncheng's explosion had been planning to kill a few Star Emperors and make the Empire bleed—the planar passage allowing five half-Saints through at once had been a huge strain on the already resource-poor Huanling Continent, and they were unwilling to return empty-handed.

Fortunately, the Empire's half-Saints arrived in time, otherwise the Star Emperors would have certainly been taken down. Unfortunately, even so, the Star Emperors there still suffered considerable injuries. Grandpa Lin was heavily wounded and needed to recuperate; it would be difficult for him to fight again anytime soon. The Celestial Fox King had it bad, too. One of his tails was broken, and it was unknown when it would recover. However, he had feasted on the flesh and blood of the Star Emperor dragon, so he hadn't lost out in the battle itself. His tail was broken by a half-Saint as he was retreating—after all, a nine-tailed celestial fox's true form was enormous.
