Before the dwelling, a great many 'Crimson Dragon Flowers' were in full, radiant bloom, competing for beauty, painting the area spanning dozens of meters a blood-red hue. A winding flagstone path stretched toward the center of the flower sea, where a circular, open space held nothing but a wide lounge chair.

At that moment, Long Xuechan was comfortably reclined on the chair, her posture graceful, every curve pronounced. Two sections of her fair, tender calves peeked out from beneath the hem of her green dress. Below the calves were two small, exquisite jade feet, completely bare of shoes or stockings—an invitation that stirred an urge to cup them in one's palm and play.

"Nie Kong, you’ve finally arrived."

Hearing footsteps, Long Xuechan opened her beautiful eyes and abruptly sat up straight, allowing the two mounds of fullness on her chest to tremble and sway, smiling brightly. "As soon as they heard you arrived on Dragon Island, these two little lasses lost all interest in cultivation and rushed to the valley entrance to wait."

"Oh?"

Nie Kong glanced at Long Ping and Long Ting, who had just released his arm. The blush on the two girls' cheeks was even more alluring. Meeting Nie Kong’s gaze, Long Ting mischievously pulled a face at him before grabbing her sister's hand and laughing as they ran down the flagstone path, vanishing instantly.

Nie Kong let out a silent laugh and walked to the lounge chair, chuckling, "Sister Chan, you certainly are relaxed. If they hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you were hiding in here." The surrounding 'Crimson Dragon Flowers' towered over one and a half meters high and were incredibly dense; it was difficult to see Long Xuechan from the outside.

"What do you mean, 'hiding'?"

Long Xuechan shot Nie Kong a look and chuckled softly. "How did it go with our Dragon King Majesty?" Her fair, delicate skin, reflected by the surrounding red flowers, seemed to flow with a crystalline sheen, making Long Xuechan appear even more radiant and dazzlingly beautiful.

Nie Kong unceremoniously plopped down onto the lounge chair, squeezing Long Xuechan to the side. He was immediately met with a glare, but he acted as if he hadn't seen it, slowly leaning back, resting his head on crossed arms, and letting out a breath. "Not bad. The Dragon King... no, I should call him Uncle..."

"Uncle?"

Long Xuechan opened her red lips in surprise.

Nie Kong smiled. "The Dragon King told me to address him that way."

"What made him change his tune?" Long Xuechan was even more curious.

"I don't know. Perhaps he's overwhelmed with affection and wants to experience what it feels like to be a loving father." Nie Kong made a jest. He intentionally used the word 'Uncle' hoping to confirm his guess from Long Xuechan’s reaction, but sadly, he gained nothing.

"Go on!"

Long Xuechan simply rolled her eyes at Nie Kong, then leaned against him with animation, propping her cheek on her right palm. "Hurry and tell your big sister the full story."

A few minutes later, Long Xuechan's pretty face was full of confusion. "It's truly strange. Even though we share the 'Dragon Mate's Love Seal,' it still goes against the rules of the Dragon Spirit Clan. While he wouldn't dare punish you, he certainly wouldn't give you a pleasant look. How could it be the complete opposite?"

"Who cares? If he treats me the same as the other Dragon Spirit Clan members, isn't that better?" Nie Kong smiled.

Seeing the genuine bewilderment in Long Xuechan's eyes, Nie Kong knew that the Xuechan sisters couldn't possibly have a relationship with Long Tiangong that surpassed that of ordinary clan members. Of course, there was an even larger possibility: that neither Long Meixian nor Long Xuechan herself knew their true connection.

Long Xuechan racked her brain but couldn't figure out a reason, finally giving up on the difficult problem. "You're right. If he treats you equally with the Dragon Spirit Clan, it's better than treating you like a guest, like Sheya. It gets awfully cold on the beach at night; if he let you stay there, your sister would worry." As she spoke, Long Xuechan’s jade finger lightly stroked Nie Kong's cheek, her smile sweet and captivating, her eyes full of seductive allure that tugged at the heartstrings.

"Ahem, ahem."

Nie Kong couldn't help but cough heavily.

Long Xuechan acted as if she hadn't heard, drawing her red lips close to Nie Kong's face, her tone exquisitely charming. "Younger Brother Nie Kong, the Dragon King asked you to take good care of Meixian and me. How do you plan to take good care of us?"

"Uh, well, let me think about that," Nie Kong managed with a dry laugh.

"Hee-hee, big sister has already thought it out for you..."

Long Xuechan blinked her beautiful eyes, her voice so soft it could melt a person's bones. A slender, beautiful ** began to lift slightly, resting on Nie Kong's lower abdomen, while the upper half of her body simultaneously leaned over him. Her full, soft breasts pressed tightly against Nie Kong’s chest, actually squeezing apart to either side.

"Here we go again!"

On the way here, Long Xuechan had been quiet for several days, but upon returning to Dragon Island, she reverted to her old ways. Nie Kong felt utterly helpless. If Long Xuechan had simply activated the power of the 'Dragon Mate's Love Seal' and engaged in the 'dry wood and fierce fire' that brought them there, he wouldn't have said a word. But she had no intention of doing that; she simply seemed to derive pleasure from constantly teasing him with such ambiguous actions, as if tormenting Nie Kong had become her favorite pastime.

If it were Long Meixian teasing him, Nie Kong was certain he wouldn't hesitate for a second and would immediately let her experience the taste of the 'Dragon Mate's Love Seal.' But his relationship with Long Xuechan was different from Long Meixian's. If Long Xuechan truly had no desire for a deeper intimacy with him, and he initiated the 'Dragon Mate's Love Seal,' wouldn't that be forcing things?

Thus, Nie Kong could only keep enduring.

But perpetual endurance wasn't a solution.

Looking at Long Xuechan's face, which radiated intoxicating charm, Nie Kong had an idea. Since she took such pleasure in it, perhaps he shouldn't give any proactive response at all, just to see if she could keep enjoying herself. With this thought, Nie Kong closed his eyes, remaining perfectly still, allowing Long Xuechan's chest and ** to press against his body.

"So boring."

After a long moment, Long Xuechan's movements paused. She grunted with disappointment, then sat back up, immediately turning her head to call out, "You two little lasses, what are you sneakily hiding over there for?"

Feeling the hot, soft pressure leave his body, Nie Kong secretly let out a sigh of relief. He opened his eyes to see Long Ping and Long Ting sheepishly sneaking out from the path entrance, both flushed red. Long Ping shyly hung her head, while Long Ting was bolder, her eyes darting back and forth between Nie Kong and Long Xuechan.

Long Xuechan smiled sweetly. "Been watching for a long time, have you? Was it fun?"

"..."

The two little girls said nothing, but this time even Long Ting hung her head.

"Silly little things, what's the use of just watching others have fun? You have to play yourself, like big sister, then you'll understand the joy—that's what's truly fun, understand? As for how to play to make it even more interesting... Don't worry, big sister will teach you all very well." Long Xuechan giggled flirtatiously.

Nie Kong broke out in a cold sweat, realizing she was actually corrupting the two sisters, Long Ping and Long Ting!

Seeing their eyes light up slightly, Nie Kong inwardly cried out in distress. Fortunately
