Peach Blossom Dual Cultivation

Zhou Lang placed the X-ray Talisman on his back, then quickly exited the ancestral bronze coin’s space and stood eagerly at the bathroom door, peering inside as if he couldn’t wait any longer.

His focus was intense, and soon he could see everything inside the bathroom through the door.

At that moment, Li Mengxue had finished her shower and was already wearing her thong, but hadn’t yet put on the rest of her clothes.

Her long, snow-white legs, flat stomach, and trembling, perky chest were all revealed to Zhou Lang’s eyes.

“How can it be so perky? Zhao Xiaorou’s and Xiao Xi’s aren’t small either, but compared to hers, they’re still lacking a bit. Perhaps only that mixed-blood beauty, Ivanova, could rival her. She’s not young, but she’s maintained herself so well. Her skin looks like fine white jade. Truly a natural beauty.”

Zhou Lang recalled the sensation of Li Mengxue’s chest brushing against his arm earlier. The fire in his lower abdomen began to burn uncontrollably.

Seeing Li Mengxue’s perfect body, Zhou Lang felt his nose heat up, and before he knew it, a small trickle of blood dripped out. However, he was so entranced by the sight in the bathroom that he didn’t even notice the nosebleed.

“I wonder if she’ll offer herself to me tonight, or if I’ll have to endure yet another sleepless night,” Zhou Lang thought to himself. The flame of desire had been fully ignited in him, and he even felt the urge to rush into the bathroom and pin Li Mengxue beneath him.

But Zhou Lang restrained himself. After all, up until now, he wasn’t sure if Li Mengxue truly had romantic feelings for him. They weren’t a couple; their relationship was that of a boss and her bodyguard. If he barged in recklessly and triggered her disgust, she might kick him out, and he’d lose any future chance of getting close to her.

While his mind wandered, Li Mengxue had already put on her underwear and finished donning her nearly transparent pajamas.

“I didn’t get to see the most mysterious part.”

Immediately, Zhou Lang refocused, trying to glimpse Li Mengxue’s most intimate area. However, his head suddenly felt dizzy, and he could only see the faint outline of her body beneath the pajamas. He couldn’t see through the thong.

“It seems my cultivation level still isn’t high enough. After seeing through the bathroom door, it’s hard to see through several layers of clothing.” Zhou Lang quickly figured out why and gave up on using the X-ray Talisman.

Just as Zhou Lang was about to turn and head back to the living room, Li Mengxue stepped out, wearing high heels and moving with seductive grace, her every step full of allure.

A woman fresh out of the bath is always the most beautiful, especially someone like Li Mengxue, whose perfume mixed with her natural body fragrance created a scent that was both pleasant and intoxicating. Zhou Lang couldn’t help but want to pull her into his arms and hold her tightly.

“You… why are you having a nosebleed?”

As soon as Li Mengxue stepped out of the bathroom and saw Zhou Lang still standing at the door, she was surprised. When she noticed his nosebleed, she was even more astonished. She had only asked him to grab her clothes, and he was already this worked up? If they were flirting, would Zhou Lang even be able to handle it?

What Li Mengxue didn’t know was that Zhou Lang had just used a magical X-ray Talisman to see her completely naked, so it was no wonder he had such a reaction!

“Ahem… I’ve probably been eating too much spicy food these past few days,” Zhou Lang said, touching his nose and noticing a bit of blood on his hand, feeling slightly embarrassed.

“Why don’t you go clean up first? I’ll head to the living room and prepare the wine.”

Li Mengxue smiled and walked away in her high heels. Although she had never had a boyfriend, being nearly thirty, she was a mature woman and clearly understood that Zhou Lang’s issue wasn’t from eating something spicy, but rather from an intense rush of hormones.

“I didn’t even notice I had a nosebleed. How embarrassing. Li Mengxue probably thinks I’m some kind of lecher, but at least she doesn’t seem to dislike me for it.”

Standing at the sink, Zhou Lang looked at the bloodstain on his nose and couldn’t help but feel a bit ashamed.

After washing his nose and wiping it with a tissue, he removed the X-ray Talisman from his back and stepped out of the washroom. He was worried that if he continued using the talisman to see through Li Mengxue’s clothes at close range, his body might react in a way that would be difficult to control. So, he decided not to use the talisman anymore.

When he returned to the living room, Li Mengxue was already sitting on the sofa. On the table in front of her were two bottles of red wine, and two tall wine glasses had already been filled.

Zhou Lang sat down across from Li Mengxue.

Having just finished her bath, Li Mengxue’s face was flushed with color. Sitting so close to her, Zhou Lang could smell the faint fragrance of her body, and he began to feel restless inside.

He was thankful that he had put away the X-ray Talisman, or he would have been tempted to peek at her body again. If that happened, he might lose control before even sipping wine, whereas most people would only lose control after drinking.

“Is your nose okay?”

Li Mengxue chuckled to herself but outwardly expressed concern. When Zhou Lang had mentioned earlier that he had eaten something spicy, she found him incredibly cute. She couldn’t have imagined that someone as mysterious and powerful as Zhou Lang could be so shy.

This cuteness and innocence made her heart flutter.

“I’m fine,” Zhou Lang replied, his face flushing slightly once again.

“Tonight, I need to thank you. If it weren’t for you, that bastard Li Qi would have destroyed my bar.”

Li Mengxue smiled and handed a glass of wine to Zhou Lang.

“This glass is my toast to you.”

“Siser Xue, you don’t need to thank me. I’m your bodyguard. Protecting you and handling dangerous situations is my job. There’s nothing to thank me for,” Zhou Lang said, accepting the wine glass and clinking it with hers.

“Zhou Lang, are you still saying such things to me at this point? With your skills and background, I’m sure the one thousand yuan monthly salary I’m offering you isn’t exactly appealing, is it?”

Li Mengxue sipped her wine, her delicate hand elegantly holding the glass, making Zhou Lang momentarily lose his train of thought.

“I don’t have any kind of background,” Zhou Lang chuckled, though he knew Li Mengxue wouldn’t believe him.

After all, even someone like Duan Wei, a top figure in the underworld of Feiyun City, acted like a meek little lamb in front of him. Who would believe that Zhou Lang didn’t have some kind of powerful background?

“Alright, I won’t ask what I shouldn’t ask,” Li Mengxue said.

“Let’s continue drinking.”

For some reason, Li Mengxue suddenly began drinking heavily, downing her wine in one gulp. Before long, the two of them had finished an entire bottle of red wine.

“Sister Xue, don’t drink so fast. From now on, you’re safe. No one will come to bother you anymore. You should be happy, but it feels like you’re drinking to drown your sorrows. Is something on your mind? Maybe I can help,” Zhou Lang asked curiously. Earlier, Li Mengxue had said she was in a good mood and wouldn’t drink to get drunk, but now it seemed like that wasn’t the case. She had something weighing on her heart.

“Let’s just drink,” Li Mengxue replied.

After saying this, she drank several more glasses of wine.

Her alcohol tolerance wasn’t particularly strong, and before long, she started showing signs of intoxication.

“Sister Xue, you should go rest,” Zhou Lang said sympathetically. If Li Mengxue kept drinking like this, something bad was bound to happen.

“I still want to drink,” Li Mengxue slurred. Suddenly, she stood up and walked over to Zhou Lang, leaning into him.

With her soft, fragrant body pressing against him, Zhou Lang’s heart instantly began racing!
