"No need to panic. It's me!"
King Jianglin's voice echoed through the air as her figure materialized before Song Wen.
"What brings you back, King Jianglin?" Song Wen asked, his voice low and wary.
"To help you resolve... your burning torment, of course."
A seductive smile played on King Jianglin's lips. Her gaze, filled with undisguised lust, fixed on Song Wen's lower abdomen, where a tent-like bulge had formed.
"You must be in agony right now, aren't you? Don't worry... I'll soon relieve your suffering and grant you bone-melting ecstasy..."
With those words, the two snake scales on her chest suddenly fluttered away. A blue light enveloped her, and her serpentine tail transformed into two shapely legs.
True to her earlier claim, her transformed appearance closely resembled that of a human, with only a few scales remaining on the soles of her feet.
The scales on her feet clicked against the blue stone floor as King Jianglin swayed her hips, gracefully approaching Song Wen step by step.
Song Wen watched the alluring figure draw closer, his Adam's apple bobbing nervously.
The medicinal effects of the Purple Lotus Fruit raged through his body like wildfire, leaving his mouth parched and his throat burning.
The delicate fragrance emanating from the woman before him only intensified his surging bloodlust.
"Heh..."
King Jianglin stopped before Song Wen, but because she stood on the ground while he sat on the stone bed, she was significantly shorter than him, her head barely reaching his chest.
"This bed of yours is quite nice," she said with a soft laugh.
"ROAR!"
A primal, frenzied roar suddenly erupted from Song Wen's throat.
His clothes exploded from his body.
Amidst the flying shreds of fabric, King Jianglin seemed to see a dark blur hurtling toward her, slamming into her face.
"Ugh..."
Five days later, Qing Lian's voice echoed outside the cultivation cave once more.
"Ji Yin, are you planning to go out today?"
Inside the cave, on the stone bed, two entwined figures froze abruptly.
"Perhaps... you should go see her?" King Jianglin suggested from below.
"Just two hours ago, you said we shouldn't bother with her," Song Wen replied from above, sounding somewhat unsatisfied.
"She's come twenty or thirty times in the past five days. It's not right to keep turning her away," King Jianglin argued.
At that moment, Qing Lian's voice drifted through the stone door again.
"Ji Yin, why aren't you answering me?"
Her tone was plaintive, fragile as if it might shatter at the slightest touch.
"Do you... not want to see me?"
As soon as the words left her lips, Song Wen felt a sudden upward thrust from below, lifting him several feet into the air.
King Jianglin's brow furrowed sharply. Suppressing the discomfort in her lower body, she swiftly rolled off the bed.
A flash of azure light enveloped her, instantly restoring her human-serpent form. Two palm-sized scales that had fallen to the ground floated up to conceal her chest.
The flush on her face faded instantly, her expression turning cold and indifferent.
"Ji Yin, our affair ends here. Let's pretend it never happened."
"I won't seek you out again, and you must never mention this to anyone, especially Qing Lian. She must never know."
"Furthermore... remember to treat Qing Lian well. If you ever make her sad, your life will be forfeit."
King Jianglin's voice was icy, carrying an undeniable air of authority.
Song Wen, who had been suspended horizontally in mid-air, twisted his body upright.
"Jianglin, rest assured. No one will ever learn of this."
As he spoke, he retrieved his clothes and began dressing.
She's already denying everything after getting her pants back on. Not that I mindβit was a mutually beneficial arrangement anyway. Besides, the medicinal properties of the Purple Lotus Fruit have been mostly depleted.
As for the experience... it was somewhat different from that of human women. The unique rhythm of her coils was certainly memorable.
It's a pity I won't be able to savor it again.
"Call me King Jianglin!" King Jianglin snapped coldly.
"YesβKing Jianglin!" Song Wen deliberately drawled out the words.
A few days ago, when she was in a state of arousal, she had insisted he call her "Jianglin," and the name had become somewhat natural for him to say.
"Remember to clean up thoroughly here. Qing Lian mustn't suspect a thing."
With that, King Jianglin abruptly leaped into the pool within the cultivation cave. Strangely, the water's surface remained perfectly still, without so much as a ripple.
Song Wen waved his hand, gathering the scattered scraps of cloth and storing them in his storage ring.
Then, he retrieved the stone bed.
The bed's lingering scent was far too suggestive and would easily give him away.
After tidying up, Song Wen straightened his robes and smoothed his hair before opening the stone gate of the cave and flying out.
Qing Lian had been drifting in the air, her serpentine tail swaying back and forth, her brow furrowed with anxious anticipation.
When the stone gate opened, her face lit up with surprise and delight. She was about to move when Song Wen appeared before her, impeccably dressed.
"Ji Yin, you've finally come out to see me," Qing Lian said, her voice brimming with excitement.
"Miss Qinglian, I sincerely apologize. During the battle with that monster, I initially believed I had only sustained minor external injuries, nothing serious. But when I closed my eyes to meditate and regulate my breathing, I discovered a lingering trace of Yin Fiend Poisonous Qi corroding my meridians and dantian."
"If left untreated, it would inevitably damage my foundation and even threaten my life. Forced to isolate myself to purge the poison qi, I was unable to meet you earlier. I hope you won't hold it against me."
Song Wen spoke with a hint of shame.
Upon hearing this, Qing Lian's expression shifted dramatically, her face now etched with concern.
"Has the poison qi been completely purged? Do you need any Spirit Herbs to neutralize it? I'll find them for you, no matter what it takes!"
"It's already been completely cleared, Miss. There's no need for you to worry," Song Wen assured her.
"That's wonderful! Wonderful!" Qing Lian breathed a sigh of relief. "You were injured saving me. If any lingering ailment remained, I would never forgive myself."
"You're being too hard on yourself, Miss," Song Wen said with a faint smile, then changed the subject. "The sunlight is lovely today. Shall we stroll to the cooling pavilion over the water to enjoy the view?"
"Yes, let's go!" Qing Lian's face lit up with joy.
The man and snake glided onto the waterborne corridor, moving slowly along the path.
On either side, the water shimmered with rippling reflections.
A gentle breeze stirred Qing Lian's dark hair, tugging at the strands and tugging at the strings of her heart.
She stole glances at Song Wen beside her, a sweet smile playing on her lips.
"This lake is so beautiful today. If only we could always enjoy such tranquility."
"If you like it, Miss Qinglian, I'll bring you here often to admire the scenery," Song Wen replied.
"Mm-hmm! Mm-hmm!" Qing Lian nodded emphatically.
Before they realized it, they had reached the cooling pavilion on the water.
However, the pavilion contained no tables or chairs, only a large, bird's nest-like structure.
"Ji Yin, aren't you humans used to sitting?"
Qing Lian's expression stiffened, a hint of awkwardness in her eyes.
"Wait here. I'll fetch some stones and make you a seat."
As she spoke, Qing Lian stowed away the bird's nest and raised her hand, unleashing a wisp of demon essence that sliced toward the rocky shore. Her movements were hurried and flustered.
"Miss Qinglian, there's no need to trouble yourself. I have tables and chairs right here."
With a thought, Song Wen produced a stone table and two stone stools.
Seeing this, Qing Lian dispersed the wisp of demon essence, sparing the rocky shore from further damage.
Her earlier frantic movements had Song Wen worried she might accidentally shatter half the mountainside.
