Chapter 77

“Offset thirteen days,” said Su Lingyu.

Qu Panyan was taken aback, and a joyful light shone in her clear, bright eyes. Her voice unconsciously raised in excitement, “Really? Did I hear it correctly?!”

Seeing her so happy, Su Lingyu’s indulgence deepened, and a smile filled with affection graced her lips. “Yes, really. You didn’t mishear, offset thirteen days.”

Qu Panyan was overjoyed and impulsively raised her head to kiss her, but she snapped back to her senses just before their lips met. She held back and covered her mouth, but the happiness in her eyes couldn’t be hidden.

She was extremely delighted, encircling Su Lingyu’s arm with a smile, “Sect Master Su is wise! Madam Su is absolutely in love with Sect Master Su!”

The sudden reduction from twenty-three days to ten days, what kind of blessing was this? What kind of qualitative leap was it?!

Though she couldn’t guarantee that she would endure the remaining ten days peacefully, at least she was spared thirteen whole days—a full thirteen days! At this moment, she experienced an unprecedented satisfaction.

Seeing her so happy made Su Lingyu happy too. That radiant smile, like the sun, was something she wished to see on her face every day, and it was a treasure she wanted to cherish.

Falling in love with someone seemed to make people selfish, just like her. Facing such a beautiful and adorable wife, she wanted to keep her hidden away, not letting the world’s unnecessary gaze linger on her for a moment longer.

She belonged to Su Lingyu, and she would only ever be hers in this lifetime, for eternity, unchanging.

Thinking of this, Su Lingyu’s calm gaze gradually softened into tender affection, silently enveloping her beloved in a gentle embrace. She raised her hand to stroke the silky, flowing hair and whispered, “Are you tired, Yan’er?”

As soon as she spoke, Qu Panyan stifled a yawn, and tears glistened in the corners of her tired eyes. At this moment, it seemed like the two of them shared some mysterious understanding.

Overwhelmed by drowsiness, Qu Panyan replied softly, “Mm, I’m tired.”

Su Lingyu gently wiped away her tears with her finger. “Yan’er should rest.”

Qu Panyan blinked one eye open, looking at her. “Sister Lingyu should rest too, and don’t you dare say anything like ‘cultivators don’t need to sleep every night’ again!’”

Su Lingyu remained unfazed and said calmly, “Cultivators indeed don’t need to sleep every night.”

Was this something a person with a partner should say?!

Qu Panyan was shocked. She wanted to scold her, but instead of calling out her name, she let out a gasp, finding both her feet were suddenly suspended in mid-air.

Su Lingyu suddenly bent down, one hand caressing her back and the other placed at the bend of her knees, effortlessly lifting her up horizontally. Her breath remained steady and calm, as if carrying her like this took no effort at all.

Instinctively, Qu Panyan wrapped her arms around Su Lingyu’s neck. Su Lingyu personally laid her back on the soft bed, neatly covering her with the blanket. She then turned and pointed to extinguish the lotus lamps in the room before lying down as well.

Su Lingyu propped up her elbow, supporting her head as she lay beside Qu Panyan. Under the gentle, hazy moonlight, she caressed her face and whispered, “But Yan’er said that cultivators with partners must sleep.”

She smiled, and her voice, amid the gentle moonlight, was surprisingly alluring. “Yan’er, rest assured. Every day, from now on, Sister Lingyu will sleep together with Yan’er.”

Qu Panyan stared at her half-lit face, the chill she usually exuded was swept away by the moonlight, making her appear much milder. A faint soft glow enveloped her—she was gazing at her, and all her tenderness belonged solely to her.

Thump, thump.

Her heartbeat couldn’t help but quicken.

In the presence of her lover’s beauty, even drowsiness had to give way.

Qu Panyan slowly sat up, leaning closer to her. Her breath, slightly husky, swept over Su Lingyu’s chin, her voice throaty as she called out, “Sister Lingyu…”

Looking at her suddenly approaching, Su Lingyu was briefly taken aback, but then she regained her composure and calmly responded, “Hmm?”

Qu Panyan leaned in a bit more, her cheeks flushed. With determination, she said firmly, “Ten days from now, I will definitely make Sister Lingyu cry from my kisses!”

Su Lingyu: “…”

A light chuckle sounded as Su Lingyu’s fingers unconsciously played with her earlobe. She smiled and asked, “Yan’er, can you really do that?”

Qu Panyan thought for a moment and readily replied, “Sure, Sister Lingyu can also kiss me until I cry, I’m fine with that, I can take it.”

If you want to make me cry in a different way, I’m fine with that too!

Facing her wife’s honesty, Su Lingyu found her even more adorable. Every strand of her hair seemed to become cuter.

Su Lingyu’s eyes deepened with amusement, but she wouldn’t admit that she really wanted to make Qu Panyan cry from her kisses.

At the same time, the suppressed wicked thoughts in her heart seemed to leak out a bit, making her not only want to make Qu Panyan cry but also inexplicably want to kiss her until she begged for mercy. She wanted to be embraced by Qu Panyan, and hear her crying out her name.

Once she realized this thought, the smile on Su Lingyu’s face froze for a moment, and her gaze became dim and uncertain.

How could she think like this? How could she think of doing this to Yan’er? Yan’er was innocent.

She felt like she was becoming a little wicked, actually wanting to “bully” her to the point of crying and even wanting to hear her crying out her name… This damn wicked thought was leading her astray!

Su Lingyu’s hand moved to the back of Qu Panyan’s neck, gently pulling her into her embrace, and then they lay down together, entwined.

Su Lingyu pursed her lips and finally spoke, “Be a good girl and rest, no more mischief.”

Qu Pan Yan was quite obedient in Su Ling Yu’s embrace, hugging her waist. Suddenly, she remembered something and said, “Sister Lingyu, I have sensed the Spirit Awareness Flower.” She continued, “As long as I intensify my cultivation, I believe it will bloom in no time.”

She smiled and hugged Su Lingyu’s waist tighter, “That way, I’ll soon be in the same realm as you, Sister Lingyu. Please wait for me a little longer, I’ll definitely come to your side soon.”

I will work hard to deserve you.

Su Lingyu lovingly caressed her back and said, “Yan’er, don’t rush, take your time. No matter how long it takes, Sister Lingyu will wait for you.”

“Okay.” Qu Panyan closed her eyes contentedly, “See you in your dreams, Sister Lingyu.”

When Qu Panyan woke up from her dream, the sun was already high in the sky, and there was no one beside her.

She wasn’t surprised that she woke up late today. It was because the dream was too beautiful, making it hard for her to get up.

In her dream, she had traveled back to her original world, and Su Lingyu had become her boss.

In that dream, she was still a humble office worker, living a dull and numb life, clocking in and out on time but never working overtime.

On the other hand, Su Lingyu had transformed into the new CEO of their company—surname Shu.

In her dream, CEO Shu’s gaze was as cold as ever, and her long hair had turned into a neat short haircut. She wore a sleek black suit with a white chiffon blouse underneath, and a long, thin black ribbon was tied around her neck. She also wore a pair of black high heels, boosting her aura to new heights.

Qu Panyan lay on the bed, rubbing her forehead, recalling the dream.

She couldn’t remember what mistake she had made in the dream to make CEO Shu personally meet her, scold her, and even say she would punish her to remember this mistake and not repeat it in the future.

This aspect was exactly the Sect Master Su, but what was different was that CEO Shu didn’t punish her like Sect Master Su did.

As she recalled CEO Shu’s punishment, Qu Panyan’s face involuntarily blushed.

The expensive suit jacket was rudely thrown aside, and the black ribbon that was supposed to hang around Su Lingyu’s neck was somehow tied around her hand. The words that came out of her mouth were filled with a crying tone, stuttering and incoherent, unable to form a complete sentence.

Qu Panyan’s hand moved downward, and she covered her eyes with great shame.

…Office play.

She had actually dreamt of office play with Su Lingyu!

But she had to admit that Su Lingyu, wearing high heels and a suit, was also very charming. She exuded a capable, sharp, and restraint aura from head to toe.

Qu Panyan felt her whole face burning and simply covered it with her hands.

This was really too much. This sister tortured her enough in real life, and now she had to invade and tease her like this in her dreams!

Qu Panyan suddenly sat up, feeling a little regretful.

However, reality was quite disappointing. The real Sect Master Su wasn’t as skillful as CEO Shu.

If only the real Sect Master Su could learn from CEO Shu’s methods of punishment—she would definitely be more eager to make mistakes!

Just at that moment, Su Lingyu lifted the veil and saw her sitting on the bed with a red face, still in a daze. She couldn’t help but ask in confusion, “What are you thinking, Yan’er?”

Qu Panyan was startled and, upon seeing Su Lingyu’s face, she remembered the unrestrained teasing in her dream. Her face turned even redder in an instant.

She quickly got up and rushed over to hug Su Lingyu, preventing her from seeing her face turning red

Su Lingyu was even more puzzled. “Yan’er?”

Qu Panyan held her tightly. “I’m fine. I just felt a bit upset not seeing Sister Lingyu as soon as I woke up.”

Su Lingyu supported her waist. “Then why is your face red?”

Qu Panyan didn’t hesitate. “It’s just too hot.”

Su Lingyu: “…”

Su Lingyu: “Yan’er, you are already the Ancestor of Fire.”

Anyone in the world could be sensitive to heat, but it should never be her.

Qu Panyan said seriously, “Yes, I got overheated by myself.”

Using magic to defeat magic, using Heavenly Fire to burn the Ancestor of Fire!

Su Lingyu smiled helplessly, and then changed the subject, asking, “Who is CEO Shu?”

Qu Panyan’s body stiffened and asked, “Why are you asking this Sister Lingyu?”

Su Lingyu said, “You talked in your sleep last night.”

Qu Panyan asked in a puzzled manner, “What did I say?”

“You were crying and saying ‘don’t’.” Su Lingyu replied.
