After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 131 - Tender Warmth

Chapter 131: Tender Warmth

Tonight, Jiang Huai was suffering from insomnia again.

He should have been very tired, considering he had spent the entire previous night with Luo Qingyu, and he hadn’t rested well during the day either. But as soon as he closed his eyes, the image of Chu Xianning’s eyebrows and eyes would appear.

He tossed and turned in bed for quite a while without falling asleep. Eventually, he sat up and decided to refine the ending of “The Melody of Warm Jade” one more time, making it fully sweet and without any angst, bringing the story to a satisfying conclusion.

When Jiang Huai leaned back in his chair, intending to take a short nap, he realized that it was already dawn.

Since it was already light out, he thought he might as well prepare breakfast. Jiang Huai first took the completed script to the Tianxuan Sect’s Ziyun Pavilion. After spending a few spirit stones, the script would be delivered to Ziyun Pavilion.

He wasn’t worried about Ziyun Pavilion leaking his secret; after so many years of collaboration, his identity as Ah Mumu had always been well concealed.

Returning to his courtyard, he remembered that he had soaked soybeans the night before, perfect for making soy milk. He added a few red dates and longans, with just a touch of sugar to make it slightly sweet but not cloying, and also made some glutinous rice cakes.

After everything was ready, he waited in the courtyard for Chu Xianning to wake up. She emerged from her room at her usual time, but today she was not in a white dress but a white Taoist robe that concealed her figure.

Jiang Huai didn’t really mind what Chu Xianning wore; she looked good in anything. The more she wore the Taoist robe, the more she exuded an abstinent and icy aura, which always inexplicably made his heart itch.

Chu Xianning sat down opposite him and soon noticed the glutinous rice cakes on the table. After a moment, she seemed to remember something and said indifferently,

“Luo Yueguan really likes to eat these.”

“It was her insistence that made me think of making them. Would Master like to try some?”

After Chu Xianning tasted a few pieces and a hint of pleasure appeared on her brows, Jiang Huai felt satisfied. He yawned,

“I’m going to sleep for a while; I didn’t rest well last night.”

Chu Xianning responded softly.

.......

When Jiang Huai woke up, there seemed to be a faint fragrance at the tip of his nose.

He slowly opened his eyes and found the face of a young girl very close to his. He was stunned for a moment before realizing it was Wen Wanwan. Wen Wanwan was also startled, and their eyes met for a moment.

“Why are you in my room?” Jiang Huai asked, puzzled.

“I just finished practicing swordsmanship with Chu Xianning and after bathing, I thought of checking on Jiang Huai Senior Brother.”

Jiang Huai sat up and noticed that Wen Wanwan was wearing the black and white maid dress he had given her last time. The hem fell to her knees, and her lower legs were tightly wrapped in thin, white stockings. The only imperfection was that she was wearing white embroidered shoes, which triggered Jiang Huai’s peculiar fondness for warm and tender things. His eyes returned to Wen Wanwan’s face,

“Quickly give me the size of your feet, I’ll get you a pair of shoes to match the dress.”

“Um... I haven’t measured them seriously.” Wen Wanwan replied thoughtfully, then she sat on Jiang Huai’s bed.

Jiang Huai chuckled, watching the girl lift her leg and slip off the white embroidered shoes, revealing her fair and tender feet in white socks, slightly blurred by the white stockings. Wen Wanwan shifted her legs, and then her toes approached Jiang Huai’s abdomen.

Jiang Huai sat up and carefully measured the size of Wen Wanwan’s delicate feet with his hands. Wen Wanwan’s fingers gently clutched the bedsheet, her cheeks blushing slightly.

Fortunately, Jiang Huai was serious about measuring and did not tease her further. Otherwise, Wen Wanwan, already tired from practicing swordsmanship, would probably have become as limp as mud.

Soon, Jiang Huai magically produced a pair of dark silver high-heeled shoes with straps. He carefully helped Wen Wanwan put them on, and she stepped off the bed. The sharp heels clicked on the floor as she walked. At first, she was a bit awkward, but she gradually got used to them.

The girl stood in front of the full-length mirror in Jiang Huai’s room. Jiang Huai got off the bed and joined her. Wen Wanwan turned her head; her figure was already slender and tall, and now with the high heels, her line of sight was nearly parallel to Jiang Huai’s.

“Do they feel comfortable? I just thought they looked nicer, but if you’re not used to them, it’s okay to change back.”

“They’re fine, very pretty, and Wanwan likes them a lot.”

Wen Wanwan replied softly, her fingertips gently grasping Jiang Huai’s arm, whispering, “Can Jiang Huai Senior Brother accompany me for a few more steps?”

“Of course.”

So Wen Wanwan gently wrapped her arm around Jiang Huai’s, and they walked out of the room together. Although the girl’s gait was a bit awkward at first, she quickly got used to it, and they left the courtyard together.

Chu Xianning in the courtyard glanced indifferently at their retreating figures.

During the days when Wen Wanwan practiced swordsmanship in her courtyard, even when bathing, she would only change back into a fresh Taoist robe. It was only when Jiang Huai returned to the courtyard that she thought of changing into a prettier dress.

......

Jiang Huai accompanied Wen Wanwan for a large tour around the Tianxuan Sect.

The Tianxuan Sect was vast, and if one were to simply stroll around, it would take more than a day. As they walked, they inadvertently reached the main hall of Huangjian Mountain, where the Senior Brother of Huangjian Mountain was imparting experience to the Junior Brothers and Sisters. Jiang Huai and Wen Wanwan, feeling tired, found a place to rest upon seeing some empty seats.

The atmosphere became livelier with Jiang Huai and Wen Wanwan’s arrival, especially since Wen Wanwan was clinging to his arm. The Senior Brother on stage was discussing the Way of the Sword of Huangjian Mountain, which also practiced the Tianxuan Thirteen Swords. He was trying hard to explain the essence of the Tianxuan Thirteen Swords to the Junior Brothers, who listened attentively. Unfortunately, the Senior Brother’s explanations were somewhat abstruse and difficult to understand.

Several disciples took turns coming forward to discuss the sword techniques with the Senior Brother, trying to grasp the essence, but to no avail. The Senior Brother was scratching his head in frustration when he turned his gaze to Jiang Huai, who was resting, and after a moment’s hesitation, he spoke up,

“Could Jiang Huai Senior Brother come forward and explain a thing or two to the Junior Brothers?”

Caught off guard, Jiang Huai glanced at Wen Wanwan, who simply replied warmly,

“Whatever Jiang Huai Senior Brother decides is fine.”

After some thought, Jiang Huai got up and walked onto the stage, taking the wooden sword from the Senior Brother’s hand.

Jiang Huai had long mastered the Tianxuan Thirteen Swords, even the thirteenth sword he had comprehended overnight. Explaining it wasn’t difficult; the Junior Brothers were just not smooth with the force of their moves and the use of spiritual energy. Jiang Huai shared his own simplified and improved version, which had the same effect but required simpler manipulation of spiritual energy and added some variations.

The disciples below were particularly captivated, and some had already touched the threshold and wanted Jiang Huai to give them personal guidance. Jiang Huai looked at Wen Wanwan below, who was sitting there gently watching him, her eyes sparkling and showing no impatience. So, he continued to teach them one by one. However, as word spread, a long queue of disciples formed below the stage. If he were to teach each one individually, it could take until who knows when.

“I still have to accompany Wanwan Junior Sister to see the sea of clouds later, so I’ll teach ten more.”

The first ten disciples in line lit up with excitement, while the ones behind looked disheartened. Jiang Huai thought for a moment and then took out a memory stone, casually tossing it to the side to record the scene. After teaching the ten disciples, he recorded all the key points about the tenth form he had summarized, leaving it for the later disciples to study slowly. Then he turned to the Senior Brother who had been lecturing,

“Well, I’ll be leaving now.”

“Jiang Huai Senior Brother, thank you for your hard work.”

“It was nothing.”

Jiang Huai approached Wen Wanwan and reached out his hand.

In front of all the disciples, Wen Wanwan stood up, gently wrapped her arm around Jiang Huai’s, and pressed her body against him. Jiang Huai chuckled and left the Huangjian Mountain hall with her.

Once they were far from the crowd, Wen Wanwan spoke in a low voice,

“Many female disciples were looking at me strangely just now.”

“Hmm?”

“It was a mix of envy... and jealousy.”

Wen Wanwan’s voice carried a hint of slyness, and Jiang Huai couldn’t help but laugh. They were heading to the highest mountain of the Tianxuan Sect, the Yunhai (Sea of Clouds) Mountain, where the summit was shrouded in mist, and the world was silent. They climbed the stairs for a long time, and Jiang Huai looked at Wen Wanwan,

“Do you want to rest for a while?”

It wasn’t that she was tired; Jiang Huai was simply concerned that walking in high heels might be uncomfortable for her. Wen Wanwan shook her head, and the next second, Jiang Huai blinked at her,

“If you’re tired, shall I carry you for a bit?”

As soon as he bent down, Wen Wanwan jumped onto his back, stretching out her hands to gently wrap around his neck, her legs hooking around his waist. The girl, usually calm and gentle, now clung to him like a young, naive girl.

Jiang Huai felt the soft touch of the girl’s chest against his back, and he supported her with his hands, adjusting her position to a more comfortable one as he continued to walk forward.

“It’s nice,” Wen Wanwan suddenly murmured softly.

“Hmm?” Jiang Huai was puzzled.

“Wanwan means... Jiang Huai Senior Brother is really nice.”

The girl’s lips approached his cheek and kissed it softly.

Jiang Huai was at a loss for words.

“Maybe after today, the sect will be abuzz with rumors about the close relationship between me and Jiang Huai Senior Brother...”

Wen Wanwan whispered, her voice sweet as honey.

“Let them talk. As long as Wanwan isn’t bothered by it, it’s fine.”

“Wanwan wouldn’t be bothered at all.”

Wen Wanwan’s legs tightened around him, her cheeks buried in Jiang Huai’s neck, and her lips couldn’t help but kiss his neck repeatedly. Wen Wanwan seemed to particularly enjoy kissing, her soft and warm lips tenderly touching his skin.

Jiang Huai carried her all the way to the summit of the Yunhai Mountain and sat down in the pavilion at the edge. The pavilion was a bit cold, so Jiang Huai gathered some dry branches to start a fire and then magically produced two sweet potatoes, winking at Wen Wanwan,

“We can roast sweet potatoes in a bit.”

Wen Wanwan’s body pressed close to Jiang Huai’s side. There was no one around the summit of the Yunhai Mountain. She quietly stretched out her hand to wrap around Jiang Huai’s neck, her cheek approaching once again. Jiang Huai lowered his head and gently kissed her lips. After a while, Wen Wanwan’s body completely softened, her fair skin blushing faintly. Yet, even so, she seemed somewhat unsatisfied, her lips kissing Jiang Huai’s neck and collarbone repeatedly.

Perhaps because of the excitement, the more she kissed, the redder her cheeks became, but Jiang Huai didn’t mind. He just gently held the soft and sticky body of the girl. After a while, Wen Wanwan looked up timidly at him,

“Wanwan can’t quite explain it... I just really, really want to kiss Jiang Huai Senior Brother...”

“Have you kissed enough now?”

“I have,” Wen Wanwan answered obediently.

“Then come into my arms.”

Wen Wanwan obediently snuggled over, her buttocks lightly sitting on Jiang Huai’s lap, wrapped in his arms. They turned their gaze towards the distant sea of clouds. In Jiang Huai’s view was the girl’s snow-white slender neck, her skin porcelain smooth. He approached her neck,

“Alright, now it’s my turn to kiss.”

Wen Wanwan’s earlobes turned bright red and hot.

But she gently grabbed Jiang Huai’s hand that was around her waist, guiding his wrist and placing it lightly on the butterfly knot of her chest, even through the fabric, it was full of tender warmth.
