After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 438 Reluctant to Part with Red Lips

After a while, Shen Xu opened his eyes and saw Guan Bi's beautiful purple eyes and two undulating peaks. He also felt a softness behind his head and a faint fragrance wafted into his nose.

He hurriedly tried to get up, but Guanbi held him down.

"Are you feeling unwell? Why did you get up?" Guan Bi asked gently.

"No! It's not appropriate." Shen Xu struggled to get up again, but this time Guan Bi didn't stop him.

After getting up, Shen Xu realized that he was sitting on a stone bench on the riverbank. In front of him, the river branched into a maze-like network of waterways. Tall trees on both banks were entwined with purple vines, which hung down into the water, with faint lightning flashing on them, making it very beautiful.

"This is the Lei Teng Lin you were talking about?"

"Yes, the sap of the Thunder Vine can repair the damage to the body caused by the Heavenly River Lightning."

"You're not still lying to me, are you?" Shen Xu looked at Guan Bi with a suspicious gaze.

"Why don't you try it and see? The lightning here can forge your bones, which will be very beneficial for your cultivation of the Nine Steps of Lightning," Guan Bi said with a smile.

"If you still don't believe me, how about I stay with you?"

"What do you mean?"

"follow me!"

After Guan Bi finished speaking, she pulled him to the side of a thunder vine, then took out a wooden sword that she had prepared in advance, and gently waved it at the thunder vine. The purple sap of the thunder vine dripped into the river below, dyeing the river water a light purple.

"Give it a try!" Guanbi gestured for him to put his leg in.

Seeing Guan Bi's serious expression, Shen Xu felt that she couldn't lie to him a second time, so he sat down on the ground and carefully put his legs into the river.

It was completely different from the feeling of being electrocuted that he had imagined. Instead, it was a very comfortable tingling sensation. He could feel countless fine, thread-like lightning bolts constantly drilling into his legs and then merging into the lightning patterns on his bones.

"It feels so comfortable!" Shen Xu exclaimed to Guan Bi with delight.

Tianhe's lightning would never be so docile; he guessed that the sap of the thunder vine had neutralized the violence of the lightning.

But when he looked at Guan Bi, what came into view was a pair of fair and delicate jade feet, with crystal clear toes that were flawless and sparkled with gold under the shimmering light.

This made his heart race, and he quickly looked away.

But Guan Bi clearly had no intention of letting him off the hook. She gently sat down beside him, lifted her skirt, and put her fair, flawless legs into the river water as well.

Soon, Shen Xu felt a smooth, soft touch between his calves, causing his body to tremble involuntarily. He immediately tried to break free from this entanglement, but Guan Bi's legs seemed boneless, managing to wrap around him precisely each time.

The rounded toes gently caressed every inch of his calf, and even though they were separated by the river, the constant skin-to-skin contact made Shen Xu's breathing quicken.

"Guanbi, you're playing with fire." Shen Xu didn't dare to look at Guanbi at all.

"It's clearly playing in the water, how can it be playing with fire?" Guan Bi's charming voice rang softly in his ear, and the wet and hot sensation made Shen Xu feel like he couldn't suppress the desire in his heart.

But when he tried to stand up, he found that he had no control over his legs, so he immediately turned to look at Guan Bi, wanting to know why.

But the instant he turned his head, he was caught off guard and met Guan Bi's red lips.

Shen Xu's eyes widened instantly. He felt as if time had frozen at this moment. He could see Guan Bi's gently closed eyes, long eyelashes, blushing cheeks, and emotional expression.

"Move! You bastard!" Shen Xu roared inwardly, but at this moment he had no control over his body and could only let desire completely engulf him.

After a long time, the lips parted.

Guan Bi gently opened her hazy eyes, her purple pupils misty with tears. She had never felt as happy as she did today.

Looking at Guan Bi, who exuded an alluring aura, Shen Xu had only one thought in his mind: "It's over!"

In the past, he could comfort himself by saying that he was forced into it, but this time there is no way to explain it away. Does he really have to be a heartless and ungrateful bastard?

It wasn't that he lacked composure; it was simply that the enemy was too cunning!

He managed to stay clear-headed for even a moment last time, managing to hide in the spirit realm, so why didn't he think of that this time?

"What are you thinking about?" Guan Bi gently leaned against his chest, her legs in the water clamping around one of his calves, slowly rubbing against it.

"What should I do?"

"Have you figured it out yet?" Guan Bi asked with a smile.

"No."

"If you want to take responsibility for me, then go after Miss! If you don't intend to take responsibility, I won't blame you. After all, I'm just a little maid, and even if I'm bullied, no one will care."

"Don't talk nonsense. Who bullied whom? Did you plan this all along?" He felt that everything that happened today was carefully designed by Guan Bi.

"Oh well! It's already happened, there's no point in dwelling on it anymore." Guan Bi rubbed his chin with a strand of hair, which tickled him and made him a little irritable, causing him to swallow hard.

Sensing Shen Xu's state, Guan Bi blushed and said, "If you win over Miss, I... can give it to you."

"When can I move?" Shen Xu took a deep breath; he couldn't stay here any longer.

Since he had already made a mistake, there was no point in regretting it, but he couldn't let the mistake cause irreparable consequences.

"Wait until the river becomes clear again." Hearing Shen Xu's words, Guan Bi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But she had already gained enough today. She knew she couldn't push Shen Xu too hard; things had to be done step by step. And she had already taken a crucial step.

"So using Thunder Vine to temper the body is this dangerous," Shen Xu said with a wry smile.

"You think it's too dangerous? I wanted to take you to see the Broken Scale Pool!" Guan Bi said with some regret.

"You know that's not what I'm talking about! And why can you move?"

"Shen Xu, can you hold me? I feel very insecure like this, as if you could leave me at any moment." Guan Bi's tone was somewhat uneasy.

Shen Xu had to admit that women were masters at feigning helplessness and changing the subject.

"I refuse! You're the one who took advantage of me, not the one who touched you inappropriately."

"Don't you like it when I take the initiative?" Guan Bi flipped over and sat on him, splashing water everywhere and wetting her dress. Her alluring curves were clearly visible in the golden shimmering water.

With a triumphant smile, Guan Bi reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck. Her long eyelashes were glistening with tiny water droplets as she slowly approached him. Her hazy eyes made Shen Xu swallow hard.

He bit his tongue lightly, and the sudden pain immediately brought him back to his senses. He then turned his head away; he really couldn't let himself fall any further.

"Guanbi, if you keep doing this, I'm going to the Temple."

"Sure! That'll give me plenty of kisses." Guan Bi placed her hands on his face, gently turned his face to face, lightly licked her red lips, and then pressed her red lips against his again.

Shen Xu immediately activated the crystal within his soul.
