Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Finally, Ye Ling returned to the room where Shen Yuexin was, holding the quilt.

What the fuck, if I don't sleep in a bed, I don't sleep in a bed. Can I stand and sleep with my eyes open?

"Whoosh..."

The weather in June is as fickle as a woman's face, changing on a whim.

Outside, a downpour began, with bursts of thunder and lightning intermingling. The thunder roared, one after another, as if to destroy the entire world.

Older generations have legends that say if there's no thunder for three years, monsters will appear in the world.

The thunder is for those monsters who are about to become spirits.

There's also an old saying that someone who has hurt the natural order is receiving their punishment, and that the thunder is coming to strike them down.

Regardless of which is true, Ye Ling only knew that with the falling thunderstorm, with the dark clouds densely covering the sky, and with the fast-darkening day, Shen Yuexin started curling up on the bed as the thunder roared.

After all, it was summer now. The sky was gloomy, but it hadn't completely darkened yet.

Ye Ling clearly saw the paleness on Yue Xin's face. She seemed to be trying hard to appear calm, but underneath the quilt, her delicate body was still trembling.

Shen Yuexin's beautiful eyes were tightly shut, her lashes fluttering. Each boom of thunder made her shudder violently.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Ling asked.

"Nothing... nothing..."

Yue Xin breathed deeply, her cherry lips turning somewhat white.

Ye Ling thought to himself, could it be? Girls are said to be afraid of thunder, but does it have to be to this extent?

"I see you... seem to be very afraid?" Ye Ling asked again.

"No, I'm not..."

All of a sudden, Yue Xin shook her head crazily and roared in a low voice, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I won't be afraid, I, Shen Yuexin, won't be afraid, absolutely not!"

By the end of it, her voice became sharp, like a scream, and even Wang Shufen heard it.

Wang Shufen came and knocked on the door, thinking Ye Ling had forced Shen Yuexin into something. But after Ye Ling explained and comforted Yue Xin for a while, Wang Shufen went back to her room.

"Have you gone mad?"

Ye Ling sat down by the bed, held down Yue Xin's trembling body, and was about to say something.

But just as Ye Ling's hands landed on Yue Xin's shoulders, she suddenly opened her eyes, stared coldly at Ye Ling, and screamed sharply, "Don't touch me! Bastard, don't touch me!"

"Alright, alright, I won't touch you, I won't touch you, okay?"

Ye Ling frowned, he vaguely felt that Yue Xin's mental state wasn't too good at the moment, as if she had been under too much suppression for too long and felt like bursting out.

"You're all bad people, all of you... you're all bad people!"

"I will run away, I won't let you catch me again, never!"

Indeed, Yue Xin's subsequent words gave Ye Ling a gradual understanding.

Seeing Yue Xin's pale face and her out-of-control emotions, Ye Ling's brows furrowed deeply.

He knew that when Yue Xin was young, she must have encountered something unbearable.

It was like a dark cloud, always pressing down on her heart.

...

The rain became heavier, and the sound of thunder and lightning grew more resounding.

Such torrential rain hadn't been seen in several years.

One could only hear the continuous pounding of raindrops hitting the ground, and in the pitch-black sky, lightning occasionally flashed, reflecting Yue Xin's pale and powerless figure.

It was now nine o'clock, and the downpour had been raging for a full four hours, almost drowning the crops outside.

And during those four hours, Yue Xin had been curling up inside the quilt, showing only half of her head.

She was scared, yet it seemed like she didn't want to give in, as if she had to face it.

Ye Ling just sat quietly next to Shen Yuexin, watching her stare out the window, silent.

"Boom!"

Just then, the loudest thunderclap suddenly occurred.

Shen Yuexin's eyes widened abruptly, and she flung off the covers, hurling herself into Ye Ling's arms.

"I'm scared, I'm scared, sob sob..."

Shen Yuexin wept, clinging to Ye Ling as if he were a lifesaver, completely unwilling to let go.

Ye Ling was a bit startled; he thought Shen Yuexin had gone mad again.

He could easily feel the tremors from Shen Yuexin's body, and his clothes on the back were already wet with her tears.

At that moment, Ye Ling had no time to enjoy the ambiguous sensation; he couldn't imagine what kind of experiences could make a calm and steady woman like Shen Yuexin so scared?

Just like an act, Shen Yuexin was always cold, calm, and composed on ordinary days, as if she wouldn't fear even if the sky fell; how could she display such behavior?

But Ye Ling knew, Shen Yuexin was not pretending.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Ye Ling gently soothed.

Ye Ling gently stroked Shen Yuexin's back.

Shen Yuexin was wearing a white cheongsam-like garment, which was very thin; through the fabric, Ye Ling could clearly feel the buttons on Shen Yuexin's dress.

However, at that moment, he had no romantic thoughts; he just wanted to thoroughly understand this woman.

"Go to sleep, I'm here, there's nothing to be afraid of," Ye Ling whispered.

As he spoke, he gently laid Shen Yuexin down.

An awkward thing happened.

Although Shen Yuexin lay down, she didn't let go of Ye Ling, holding on tightly to him.

If someone saw this scene, they would definitely think that Ye Ling was lying on top of Shen Yuexin, engaging in unspeakable acts.

But there was no one!

If Ye Ling previously had no such thoughts, being pressed against Shen Yuexin's delicate body like this now, how could he not react?

Furthermore, Shen Yuexin's heavy panting because of fear, mingled with her fragrance, kept wafting by Ye Ling's ear.

"Truly a seductress," Ye Ling thought to himself.

Such a woman, untouchable and inseparable, was truly torturous.

Unbeknownst to him, Shen Yuexin had already fallen deeply asleep.

During the first half of the night, Ye Ling was still trying hard to stay awake, but during the latter half, he was too exhausted and fell asleep on top of Shen Yuexin.

In the middle of the night, Ye Ling had a dream, a lustful dream.

He dreamt that he was undoing a woman's clothes. This woman was very beautiful and also very gentle, allowing Ye Ling to undress her...

Finally, Ye Ling couldn't take it anymore and hastily stripped off his own clothes, ready for a satisfying battle.

But just then—

"Slap!"

A loud slap landed on Ye Ling's face.

The beautiful woman was gone, the enchanting body disappeared, and all the wonderful images were no longer there.

The only thing left was an icy cold face.

Ye Ling was dumbfounded.

All he wanted to say was—I'm freaking dreaming!
