Chapter 111: Spending the Night with Zhu Zhuqing
"Okay." Zhu Zhuqing nodded obediently.
"Come on, give me a hand setting up the tent. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the forest tonight."
"Mm!"
The two of them began cooperating and set up a large tent. After the tent was set up, Ye Wen spread some Soul-Repelling Powder around the area.
This powder could, to some extent, conceal their aura. Soul beasts hated this scent, so it could help keep them at bay, though the effect was limited.
Afterward, they sat in front of the tent, took out the dry rations they had brought, and sat under the night sky of the forest, eating and occasionally enjoying the night scenery.
Though they were alone together, and nothing special happened, Zhu Zhuqing found this solitude rather enchanting. It was easy for her to feel certain emotions. She silently gazed at Ye Wen's profile, and the feelings she had for him, which had once been mere affection, began to sprout. She didn't even realize it yet, but she had already started to like Ye Wen.
"Alright, it's late. You should go to sleep in the tent. I'll keep watch here tonight," Ye Wen said.
"I... I can keep watch," Zhu Zhuqing offered.
Ye Wen shook his head and smiled. "Forget it. You should just sleep in the tent. Leave it to me. With your strength, what would you do if a 10,000-year soul beast ambushed you?"
"Uh, alright." Zhu Zhuqing knew her strength wasn't enough, so she didn't argue and obediently walked into the tent.
She lay down, but couldn't fall asleep. Her eyes would occasionally wander to the figure of Ye Wen outside.
Since there was only one tent, they didn't set up two. Ye Wen could've kept watch in the tent as well, but it wasn't ideal for a man and a woman to spend the night in the same tent together.
But there were many mosquitoes outside, and the air was cool. Zhu Zhuqing felt a bit bad and hesitated for a moment before calling out, "Ye Wen, how about you come into the tent?"
Ye Wen smiled. "You don't mind?"
"It's fine, just come in," Zhu Zhuqing's face reddened slightly.
"Alright then." Ye Wen stood up and slowly walked over. Being able to lie in the tent was definitely more comfortable than sitting outside, but since Zhu Zhuqing was a woman, he didn't want to have any intentions.
But since she said it herself, he didn't think much of it.
Ye Wen unzipped the tent and walked in, jokingly saying, "What if you fall asleep and are worried I might do something to you?"
"I don't think you're that kind of person," Zhu Zhuqing said seriously.
Ye Wen chuckled but neither denied nor confirmed her statement. "You underestimate your own allure to men, and overestimate my interest in women."
Ye Wen wasn't uninterested in women, but after transforming back into a human child, his body was still youthful.
At that age, desires were still budding, and hormones in the body played a crucial role in influencing those thoughts.
However, as his human body grew older, natural responses and hormones would begin to affect his thoughts, making his desires stronger.
So now, Ye Wen was increasingly drawn to women, even those aspects of desire.
Zhu Zhuqing, with her stunning figure and beauty, lying beside him? Now, Ye Wen couldn't guarantee if he could stay calm.
"So, what... would you do to me?" Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed slightly as she asked.
"Well, what do you think?" Ye Wen's face broke into a mischievous smile as he leaned slightly toward her.
They were face to face, very close, almost noses touching.
Zhu Zhuqing's heart skipped a beat, her heart racing wildly. It felt like a little deer was running around in her chest. Her face turned bright red, and she shyly pulled back a little, lowering her head. Her voice was weak: "I... I don't know."
"Hehe." Ye Wen laughed, and then distanced himself, becoming more serious. "Don't worry, I, Ye Wen, have principles. Although I find you attractive, I won't touch you unless you like me and give your consent."
"Oh~" Zhu Zhuqing pouted, murmuring an "Oh" in response.
"Good..."
Then, Ye Wen lay down beside her. Zhu Zhuqing, realizing her figure was quite enticing, and wanting to avoid further temptation, turned her back to him and lay on her side, slightly bending her legs.
Little did she know, even in this position, in the quiet tent, alone with a man and a woman, it was still easy to spark desire.
Especially with Zhu Zhuqing's legs bent, her figure, especially the outline of her hips, was perfectly displayed.
Ye Wen sighed and shook his head, trying to keep his composure. He gazed outside the tent to avoid thinking too much and chose to meditate and cultivate his soul power while keeping watch.
Before long, the night passed.
Zhu Zhuqing's sleeping position changed frequently. She seemed restless, tossing and turning, though she appeared to be deep in sleep, perhaps from the exhaustion of the day's journey and the soul ring hunt.
Ye Wen didn't pay much attention. He quietly sat and meditated. But suddenly, he felt Zhu Zhuqing had somehow wrapped her arms around him.
"Hmm?" Ye Wen opened his eyes, stopped meditating, and looked down to see Zhu Zhuqing, still asleep, holding onto him.
At that moment, her face was pressed against Ye Wen's thigh, and her left hand was resting on his legs, lying sideways.
Her curvaceous body, pressed against him because of her position, was perfectly visible to Ye Wen.
Well, well!!!
Zhu Zhuqing's slightly flushed body, combined with the faint scent of a young girl emanating from her, made Ye Wen lose his calm. His control was beginning to slip.
Now, with his body in its peak adolescent form, how could he resist such a stunningly beautiful woman lying so close to him?
"Can't deny, Zhu Zhuqing's figure is really tempting," Ye Wen thought, swallowing hard. "Maybe... I should touch?"
"Wait, wait, what am I thinking?"
"How could I take advantage of her like this?!"
"No, I can't."
Ye Wen quickly shook his head and pushed the thought aside, calming himself down. In the end, he resisted the urge.
So, he stayed quietly through the night.
The next morning, Zhu Zhuqing realized she was holding onto Ye Wen and quickly turned red with embarrassment, saying, "I'm sorry, I... I didn't know."
"It's fine." Ye Wen waved his hand, silently thinking, "You were comfortable, but my brother here had a rough night!!"
