Bai Yuqing’s expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly, "Come on then! I also want to see what a man truly feels like?"
"What?"
Nie Kong’s heart skipped a beat, and a bad thought instantly surfaced in his mind. "Sister Bai, have you been influenced by Bai Yetian's little performances?"
Bai Yuqing scoffed, "If I didn't wish it, who could influence me?"
Nie Kong had to believe her words. Bai Yuqing’s will was exceptionally firm; perhaps in a year or two she might be affected, but half a month was certainly not enough time to shake her resolve.
Changing his train of thought, Nie Kong forced a dry laugh. "Is this because I came all this way to rescue you, so you wish to repay me by... offering yourself?"
Bai Yuqing narrowed her beautiful eyes. "Do you think that's possible?"
"Not very likely."
Nie Kong had initially thought he guessed correctly, but seeing no change in Bai Yuqing's expression, he shook his head in disappointment. No matter how grateful Bai Yuqing was to him, she would only keep it in her heart; she wouldn't repay him in such a vulgar manner. Nie Kong sighed helplessly. "Then why is it?"
"The reason is very simple," Bai Yuqing said calmly. "When I was trapped here, I pondered a question. If my Master couldn't find someone in time to save me, or if the person he found wasn't strong enough, I might truly die here. In that case, wouldn't that be a profound regret for me?"
"Regret?" Nie Kong was stunned.
"Indeed." Bai Yuqing nodded. "I began cultivating at the age of eight, became my Master's disciple at ten, and since then, I have been single-mindedly focused, advancing my cultivation fiercely. I am now at the eighth rank of the Void Spirit realm, and I have even cultivated the Ultimate Ice Spirit Power. While I cannot compare to you, throughout history, few cultivators like me exist."
After a pause, Bai Yuqing continued, "These past few days, I suddenly realized that I am not just a cultivation fanatic; I am also a woman. If a woman reaches the end of her life without ever knowing what a man feels like, wouldn't that be a regret?" As she spoke, her beautiful eyes fixed intensely on Nie Kong, yet her tone remained as cold as ever.
Nie Kong felt speechless. "With me here, you no longer need to worry about your safety. You still..."
"This has become my inner demon!" Bai Yuqing waved her hand. "If I don't try it myself, it will be difficult for me to cultivate with my previous single-minded focus, and my rate of advancement will certainly drop significantly. Since I was old enough to understand things, I've met quite a few young men, but you are truly the only one who pleases my eye. Since that is the case, you might as well help me resolve this inner demon."
Nie Kong found it hard to laugh or cry, adopting a strategy of advancing by retreating. "Even if you want to resolve your inner demon this way, must it be in this place? Once we leave the Ice-Sealed Snow Domain, we can find a more comfortable place to..."
Bai Yuqing decisively stated, "Since the inner demon arose here, it must end here!"
"What if Bai Yetian..."
"The timing of the Medicine Spirit is very regular; it will never appear early!"
"Your friend..."
"Don't worry about her. If you rescue her now, how can you hide it from Bai Yetian’s eyes when he comes in two days? I have her spiritual imprint on the bamboo slip I carry. Once Bai Yetian is dealt with, you can find her easily!"
"And..."
Seeing Nie Kong stammering and hesitating, Bai Yuqing’s delicate eyebrows lifted slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed across her pure face as she said coldly, "Nie Kong, I don't mind, so what are you hesitating about? Are you afraid my body can't accommodate the thing below?"
"Uh?"
Seeing Bai Yuqing's fierce expression, Nie Kong was momentarily stunned. In a flash, he seemed to see the fierce girl from the 'Life-and-Death Illusory Realm' years ago, who faced a siege of Nie family disciples without fear. Looking again at Bai Yuqing’s fiery, delicate body, he gritted his teeth. "If you aren't afraid, what do I have to fear!"
Stepping forward, Nie Kong fiercely pulled Bai Yuqing into his embrace, leaning down to kiss her lips. But just as their lips were about to meet, Nie Kong suddenly paused his movement.
"What is it?" Bai Yuqing frowned slightly.
"Wait a moment!"
A purple light flashed between Nie Kong's brows. The mental manifestation of the "Purple Luo Illusory Spirit Incense" instantly appeared, and its branches rapidly spread, interlacing across the space. Seconds later, a purple tent was woven within the icy confines, the curved base leveled by thick layers of the Incense’s leaves.
"Now we can proceed."
Nodding with satisfaction, Nie Kong pushed Bai Yuqing down inside the tent. Their close bodies trembled like taut springs for a moment before settling down.
Bai Yuqing's body radiated a faint coolness, yet she was full and soft like a mature woman, bringing Nie Kong immense stimulation, causing the member that had only recently softened beneath his abdomen to stand tall and proud once more. However, upon seeing her pure face, Nie Kong hesitated again.
"Don't dawdle, hurry up!" Bai Yuqing urged.
"Yuqing, you don't regret this?" Nie Kong asked solemnly.
"Regret? I never regret anything I do!" Bai Yuqing retorted, raising an eyebrow.
"..."
Nie Kong stared intensely at Bai Yuqing for a long moment before lowering his head and capturing her crimson lips.
Perhaps due to cultivating the Ice Spirit Power, Bai Yuqing's lips were also cool, imbued with a refreshing fragrance that was extremely captivating. Having made up his mind, Nie Kong no longer hesitated, unleashing all the practiced skill he possessed, like a nimble serpent emerging from its lair or a foraging bee exploring a blossom.
After a long while, Nie Kong finally lifted his head, still wanting more.
Through this passionate kiss, Bai Yuqing's cherry lips were sucked until they were even more alluringly scarlet. She let out a long breath, licked her lips, and a slight confusion flickered in her beautiful eyes. "I wonder who first thought of doing such things with the mouth. It doesn't seem to have much taste."
Nie Kong felt a slight headache. Such matters required mutual immersion to appreciate their wonder, but throughout the entire process just now, Bai Yuqing had simply endured silently, her eyes wide open, observing the act of kissing as if she were an outsider.
"What about next? What should we do now?"
Bai Yuqing shifted her arms slightly and moved her body a little.
Only then did Nie Kong notice that Bai Yuqing's right hand was still gripping the giant sword, causing him to laugh ruefully. "Sister Bai, could you please let go of the sword first?"
Bai Yuqing loosened her grip for a moment, but less than a second later, she grasped the hilt again. "No, I'm used to it. If I let go of the sword, I feel deeply uncomfortable all over. Nie Kong, do whatever you want to do. The sword won't hinder anything, and I will cooperate fully with your needs."
"This, this..."
Nie Kong shook his head with a bitter smile. Listening to Bai Yuqing’s words, it felt less like they were engaging in intimacy and more like they were completing some extremely serious task. Moreover, although the sword wouldn't strictly impede anything, being so close to its icy sharpness while engaged in intimacy felt awkward.
