"What was that noise just now? I heard something make a sound."

"..."

Chapter Seventy-Six: Things Don't Happen More Than Three Times

Two beads of cold sweat dripped from Gu Yu's forehead, and he chuckled dryly twice, saying:

"What's that noise? I didn't hear it. Oh! It must be the turtledoves cooing outside the window!"

Looking at the half-empty birdcage hanging outside the window, Gu Yu's eyes lit up. She pointed confidently to a cage of red-necked doves over there, but it was in the exact opposite direction from where Xi Chun was looking.

"Coo-coo-coo—"

Whether it was because his innocence had been unjustly tarnished or not, just then, the turtledove suddenly cooed a few times, its voice melodious and clear, as if it were about to transform into a sharp sword and ruthlessly cut through Gu Yu's thick skin.

Xi Chun blinked strangely, finally concluding that something was amiss. She assumed that Sister Lin was hiding inside out of shyness, afraid of being teased for staying with Brother Yu for so long.

Before she could even take a few steps behind the screen, Gu Yu was so frightened that she quickly grabbed her small hand. "It's like a Schrödinger's cat bomb inside! If you go in, won't it be a guaranteed explosion?!"

Xi Chun was pulled into his arms by him, and her heart trembled. She didn't even have time to tease Sister Lin. It added to the excitement of being sneaky.

Gu Yu hugged Xi Chun and saw that she suddenly became obedient, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, it would be too obvious to just hold her like that and not let her in, so he simply carried her to the side and sat down, just to flirt with her.

Just as he was about to let her straddle him, Xichun suddenly blushed and pressed against Gu Yu's legs, silently sitting sideways on him. Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, and chuckled as he touched Xichun's temple, forcing himself not to think about the chaotic scene in the room.

"Tomorrow I'll have Qingwen bring you some cotton towels and have her teach you how to use them. They're not only much more convenient, but also cleaner."

When the topic suddenly came up, Xichun trembled with embarrassment, buried her face in Gu Yu's shoulder and refused to look up. After listening to him give some instructions, when she finally raised her head again, her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Brother Yu~"

Looking at Gu Yu's handsome features and his unashamed tenderness about this sordid affair, Xi Chun felt her chest melt into a pool of water, her heart pounding. She couldn't help but hug Gu Yu tightly and awkwardly tilted her head back to lick the corner of his lips.

Feeling the soft, fragrant tongue sliding back and forth on her lips, Gu Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath, her nose filled with the sweet scent of a young girl. Finally, she couldn't resist opening her mouth to subdue this arrogant visitor and interrogate him carefully.

"No~"

The girl's fragrant tongue finally succumbed to the enemy's interrogation, and she slunk away, letting the wolf into her house. The sweet saliva that had been continuously produced in her territory was also completely plundered, and she was completely branded with the mark of the enemy.

Gu Yu was completely immersed in the intertwining of their lips and teeth. He didn't know if all the beauties in this wonderful world were like this, or if the ones he had encountered were just exceptions.

Whether it's Xiangling and Qingwen, or Daiyu and Xichun, not to mention Mengzhi in the palace, these girls not only possess unique fragrances, but even their bodily fluids and sweat are fragrant and rich, truly fulfilling Baoyu's words that girls are all fragrant.

Hearing Xichun's childish humming, Gu Yu felt his heart burning even more, and couldn't help but reach out to peel off her top. He didn't know if the girl had anticipated this scene, but she had only worn a thin gauze dress when she came. With just a gentle pull on the belt, Gu Yu was able to lift it open to the left and right, revealing her light green bamboo flower undergarment.

When Gu Yu grasped those two small, snowy mounds that were comparable to Sister Lin's, Xi Chun's body went limp. She finally came back to her senses from the interaction between their lips and teeth. Her face flushed, she tried to push Gu Yu's big hand away. Sister Lin was in the inner room!

Before she could make a move, Gu Yu gently rubbed her through her undergarments, and only a few trembling sounds escaped from her mouth.

"Brother Yu... um... hmph~"

Gu Yu finally released Xi Chun's bright cherry lips and focused his attention on her small, perky breasts. When he lifted her undergarment to reveal her full figure, the buds at the tips were already waving in the wind. The light pink buds were like sesame seeds embedded on the snowy mounds, so tender that it was heartbreaking.

Looking at the pink that symbolizes purity and innocence, Gu Yu's breathing became a little heavier. In fact, even Xiang Ling and the others, who were slightly more mature, wore only a slightly darker shade of pink, which perfectly matched his preference.

What can colors like grape purple or bright red, which symbolize desire, compare to the pure pink of a young girl?!

Seeing Xichun's face flushed as she collapsed into his arms, Gu Yu couldn't help but straighten her up a bit, then lowered his head and slowly licked the delicate bud with the tip of his tongue, feeling its increasingly tenacious attitude.

"Compared to Lin Daiyu, she seems to be about the same age? But Xichun seems to be more than a year younger, doesn't she?"

The sisters all had skin as white and smooth as mutton fat jade, as soft and lustrous as brocade. Gu Yu couldn't tell who was better for a moment, so she could only evaluate them according to their age.

"Um…"

Feeling the movements in Gu Yu's mouth, Xi Chun's jaw trembled with stimulation. Suddenly, as Gu Yu couldn't help but gently suck and bite, Xi Chun's body tensed up, her waist arched sharply, and soft whimpers escaped her lips, making Gu Yu realize what was happening.

Reluctantly releasing the stubborn jade, Gu Yu's gentle lips fell on Xi Chun's flushed face, his hands gently caressing her waist and back, helping her gradually calm the afterglow of her first experience of ecstasy.

After a long time, Xichun suddenly woke up and tried to jump out of Gu Yu's arms, her face full of shame.

"Brother Yu, let me go!"

"What's going on?"

Gu Yu smiled helplessly and held her tightly to prevent her from moving. This girl hadn't even realized that her little cutie was showing yet. If she were to run away, wouldn't something bad happen?

"I...I think I needed to use the restroom just now..."

Under Gu Yu's persistent questioning, Xi Chun closed her eyes and revealed the reason, feeling as if she were already naked in front of him, and she didn't care about saving face anymore.

Gu Yu chuckled upon hearing this, and then gently pinched her sensitive, pert buttocks a couple more times, teasing her in a low voice:

Is this how you feel?

"what……"

Xichun shuddered again and finally couldn't help but jump down again, her legs clamped tightly together, afraid that if she didn't leave soon, her wedding would be exposed.

"Brother Yu...no..."

Seeing that she covered her lower body with her hand, Gu Yu finally remembered this matter. In addition, there was an urgent matter inside, so even though he was as hard as iron, he could only go along with it and coax her to go back first.

Thinking of this, Gu Yu suddenly became alert and quickly helped Xi Chun fasten her belt while listening intently to see if there was any movement outside.

Once everything was back to normal, the courtyard was quiet. Gu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to see Xi Chun out again. Xi Chun, blushing, nestled beside him, then suddenly remembered something and turned around, saying loudly:

"Brother Yu, I'd like to ask you to help me pass the time tomorrow afternoon. Do you have time?"

Her turning around startled Gu Yu. He hadn't expected that this clever girl would still be able to guess that there was someone inside. However, no matter how hard she tried, she probably wouldn't know what the situation was like inside.

Gu Yu gave a wry smile and casually agreed. After personally seeing her out, he rushed back without stopping.

Standing in the room where she had spent her days and nights, looking at the inner room door where there had been no sound since Yingchun went in, Gu Yu's earlier romantic thoughts had vanished without a trace. She nervously reached out her hand, but dared not push open the door.

But death is inevitable, sooner or later. If it drags on any longer, Gu Yu fears that one of them might do something drastic. With that thought in mind, she finally gritted her teeth and pushed open the door.

"squeak--"

……

Chapter 77 Solution

As soon as Gu Yu opened the door, she saw Yingchun standing in the corner with her head down, her hands twisting the corners of her sleeves, her face flushed and seemingly lost in thought.

Hearing the door open, Yingchun trembled. Seeing Gu Yu walk in gently, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly prepared to take her leave.

Gu Yu chuckled dryly, glanced at the motionless brocade quilt on the bed, felt a little panicked, and frantically thought of a solution.

The more elaborate the tricks he played before, the more regretful he felt now that he had messed up. Although he knew he would do it again next time, the silent atmosphere was really torturous.

Seeing that Yingchun was about to slip away silently, Gu Yu was about to let her go back first so he could properly counsel Daiyu, when suddenly something occurred to him. He leaned closer and whispered:

"Second sister has caused trouble now, how can you just leave? Why don't you go outside and sit for a while, and come in and tell me what you're doing after I've calmed down Lin sister?"

Yingchun blinked blankly, wondering what trouble she had gotten herself into. She hadn't hidden Daiyu in the room, nor had she taken off her clothes, and hadn't even her own cleavage been partially exposed?

However, she never argued with others. Seeing Gu Yu's unquestionable smile, she could only nod silently, deciding it was best to go out and avoid the limelight for now.

As the footsteps outside the door gradually faded away, Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and came to the bedside. Looking at the clothes still scattered around, she couldn't help but grimac with a headache. She then quietly climbed onto the bed.

"younger sister…?"

The figure hiding under the quilt trembled, but remained motionless. Gu Yu gritted her teeth, wrapped herself in the quilt, and picked her up, wanting to explain things clearly.

Daiyu thought she had recovered, although when Yingchun first came in, she thought that Gu Yu was rushing back to continue after seeing her off. She was about to straighten up and act coquettishly a few times when most of her body was seen.

Although Yingchun's ample bosom could not be concealed and was seen by Daiyu, the two situations were incomparable. Daiyu exclaimed in surprise and quickly hid back, feeling as if she had been struck by lightning!

Before the two could react, Xichun's voice could be faintly heard from outside, and Daiyu knew that her second sister had also come in.

In the ensuing silence, Daiyu was initially so frightened that her vision went black and her face turned deathly pale. After regaining her composure, she calmed down considerably, but being naked, she was too embarrassed to utter a sound. She could only silently pray that Xichun would return quickly so that this suffocating scene could end as soon as possible.

She understood that her second sister was already Gu Yu's for the taking. Judging from her disheveled appearance when she entered, she'd probably been up to something else outside. She herself was a seasoned woman; although this was the first time her sisters had caught her in the act, at least she wouldn't act recklessly like Gu Yu feared.

Daiyu thought she could really let the matter go and not care, but she didn't expect that as soon as Gu Yu held her in his arms, she only looked up at him once, and suddenly she was overcome with emotion. Tears instantly filled her eyes, and in an instant she became a pear blossom in the rain.

"I don't want to live anymore—..."

Gu Yu's heart clenched as she watched Daiyu's tears fall like rain. She hurriedly reached for her handkerchief to wipe away her tears, but her sleeve was caught under the blanket. In her haste, Gu Yu could only silently kiss away the tears on Daiyu's face.

Once Daiyu started crying, the grievances in her heart surged up, and she couldn't stop crying at all. Gu Yu thought that she should let her cry for a while to calm down before gently comforting her, but she didn't expect that even though her eyes seemed to be swollen and red, she still didn't stop.

Now, wrapped in a brocade quilt and exhausted from crying, Daiyu soon had a layer of sweat on her forehead. Gu Yu felt a pang of anxiety, fearing that she might really cry herself sick, so she had no choice but to forcefully interrupt her.

Suddenly, the brocade quilt was thrown back, and the girl's delicate body, marked with messy red marks, was immediately exposed. Daiyu's crying stopped instantly, and she subconsciously tried to grab it back to cover herself.

Taking advantage of the moment before Daiyu could recover, Gu Yu seized the opportunity to pull her even tighter, gently stroking her shoulders and softly coaxing her:

"Sister, please stop crying. It's all my fault, no matter what. You mustn't cry and tire yourself out."

As soon as she heard him talk about this, Daiyu couldn't help but want to continue, but she didn't want to really worry him. After all, it was because she was too weak that she had caused so many problems. She sobbed a few times but eventually stopped crying.

"You deserving-to-be-thunder-spotted... you maggot-hearted seed! All you do all day is find ways to torment us, and now... Waaaaah~"

Seeing that she was about to cry again, Gu Yu quickly wiped away the newly welling tears with his hand and kissed her lips to stop her from continuing.

When Daiyu patted him a few times in protest, he unexpectedly let go very quickly this time.

"Okay, okay—I deserve to die, I deserve to die. Look at you, your eyes are all swollen..."

Gu Yu smiled helplessly, and this time finally took out a handkerchief to carefully wipe Daiyu's face. After a long while, she sighed and said:

"Sister, you should hold back your tears. It's not too late to cry tomorrow after I've been beaten and carried back."

Upon hearing this, Daiyu paused, staring at him intently, unsure of his meaning.

Gu Yu smiled wryly:

“A few days ago, several great masters came to discuss the Dao. The monks of Baima Temple couldn’t handle them and made some arrogant remarks, telling us that even if we pooled our wisdom, no one could beat them.”

"His Majesty has asked me to stand up for him because of this matter. If I fail to defeat him, won't I be punished? It seems I can't escape this punishment. If you care about me, sister, you should prepare some good wound medicine first."

"Pah! What wound... You, you've already declared defeat before you've even begun, you deserve a beating!"

Despite saying that, Daiyu still frowned, her face full of worry. When it came to Buddhist doctrines, how many could be a match for those senior monks? Did she really have to prepare medicine for her injuries?

Seeing that Daiyu's emotions had finally stabilized, Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and then subtly tried to get Yingchun to come in and vent her anger.

Daiyu pinched Gu Yu's soft flesh a few times in embarrassment and annoyance. Although his pained expression was obviously exaggerated, she couldn't help but gently touch it again to comfort him.

"How am I supposed to get along with my second sister in the future? It's all your fault!"

After thinking for a long time, the thought of meeting her second sister in the future filled Daiyu's mind with images of her standing up and being seen by her. She felt terrible and had no choice but to give up and push everything onto Gu Yu to solve.

Seeing that after all that buildup, the topic had finally come to its root, Gu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had figured it out by then. The two sisters were well aware of each other's feelings, but Daiyu felt uncomfortable because she had been seen through without her knowledge. So, as long as he could use a clever plan based on people's psychological characteristics... Hmph!

Yingchun sat outside for a long time, her mind in turmoil. She never imagined that Lin Daiyu, who was always aloof and proud, like a fairy as pure and proud as a plum blossom, would be lying naked on Gu Yu's bed, her fair body even bearing lewd red marks.

The thought that she had become infatuated with Gu Yu after just a few bites, and that Lin Daiyu looked like that... Yingchun couldn't help but readjust her posture again, her thoughts drifting back to the room, wondering what the situation was like now.

Just as she thought of this, footsteps approached. Gu Yu quickly walked closer and saw Yingchun looking at her questioningly. She smiled wryly and said:

"Lin Daiyu really can't withstand this fright. Now... Second Sister, would you be willing to let her vent her anger? I think that way Lin Daiyu won't care about Second Sister barging in."

Yingchun nodded hesitantly, but still didn't understand the connection between these things. What did it mean to let her vent her anger? And what did it mean that she had caused trouble?

Seeing Yingchun nod, Gu Yu couldn't help but smile, but quickly composed herself and, not wanting her to think any further, led her back to her room.

A moment later, another gasp came from inside the house, which was then suppressed. Afterward, faint female voices drifted out from time to time, carried away by the wind in the courtyard where no one else was...

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Miaoyu?

As dusk fell, two figures walked out of Zilingzhou, one of them Gu Yu with a smile on her face and the other Yingchun with a face full of peach blossoms.

Gu Yu never expected that her clever maneuvering would not only resolve the crisis but also bring her a huge advantage, allowing Yingchun to rest until she finally had the strength to leave.

Yingchun didn't dare to lift her head the whole way, so Gu Yu didn't want to tease her anymore. He just silently escorted her to the door before he had the heart to say a few words. Unexpectedly, Yingchun suddenly found the strength from somewhere and quickly darted inside, without even leaving him a moment to say a word.

Watching Yingchun's graceful figure run away, Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled.

"Wonderful person~ Wonderful person~, it seems we can get closer in the future..."

As for Daiyu, she had to part ways with him after passing Daoxiang Village, only letting him escort Yingchun back, while she secretly took a side path back by herself.

What happened today was too astonishing. She needed to be alone to process it. She couldn't bear the shame in her heart any longer if she stayed with Yingchun!

Gu Yu walked slowly back to Pear Blossom Spring Rain alone, looking at the babbling water flowing into the roadside, and his mind drifted back to tomorrow's debate. This wasn't some fabricated story he made up to deceive Daiyu; it was just another instance of him playing the victim.

If even the professionals at Baima Temple can't compete, are the young talents and learned men in the capital some kind of genius? I'll just use a classic meme from later generations to fill in the numbers and that'll be it. If you really think you're invincible and proficient in everything, then you're just being arrogant.
