Chapter 20: Tianchen Cloud 1

After the two finished their playful meal, it was already noon. "Mei'er, let's set off for the Seven Profound Forest; it won't be convenient if we're late." "Alright, let's go." The two went out together. Upon reaching the main gate, Nan Qingcheng took a finger-sized tube from his robes and blew into it. Suddenly, two Ink Qilins and an exquisite carriage appeared before them. The Ink Qilin is an 8th-rank spirit beast, capable of dominating a region within the forest. If someone were to capture one as a contracted beast, their strength would surely increase significantly. Here, however, they were used by Nan Qingcheng merely to pull a carriage, which showed just how extravagant he was. The two Ink Qilins seemed to be acting strangely; they kept staring at Qing Mei with fawning expressions. Qing Mei was also baffled—why were these two Ink Qilins looking at her like that? Seeing that Qing Mei didn't react, the Ink Qilins walked up and rubbed their heads against her. Nan Qingcheng’s mouth twitched. These Ink Qilins were his property; they wouldn't even let people touch them usually, yet now they were actively rubbing against Qing Mei. Was his little Mei'er's charm really that great? Qing Mei was also dumbfounded. Why did the Ink Qilins only come for her? Were these two males? Just as Qing Mei was feeling depressed, Yan Lie lazily sent a message: "These Ink Qilins have taken a liking to the Profound Spirit Water in your space. Just give them a little. The water from that large pool." Hearing this, Qing Mei secretly took some Profound Spirit Water from her space into her hand. As soon as she did, the Ink Qilins immediately attacked her palm, not stopping until they had licked her hand clean. Even then, they still looked at Qing Mei with pitiful expressions. "It's gone, it's gone, stop looking at me."

Qing Mei shook her hand in disgust and then extravagantly used more Profound Spirit Water to wash her hands. The water that spilled onto the ground was promptly licked clean by the Ink Qilins again. Nan Qingcheng watched as Qing Mei used the Profound Spirit Water even more extravagantly than he did, and he rubbed her head dotingly. "Mei'er, don't be wasteful." "I can't help it, I'm too lazy to go inside to wash my hands." She shook her head as if it were a great pity. "Get in the carriage." Nan Qingcheng helped Qing Mei into the carriage. It must be said that the carriage was not only luxurious on the outside, but it also had everything one could need on the inside. There were seats, a place to lie down, a table, and all kinds of food. Qing Mei poured a cup of tea for herself and one for Nan Qingcheng. Because the Ink Qilins ran very fast but were absolutely steady, there was no need to worry about spilling. "Here, have some tea." Qing Mei held the tea out to Nan Qingcheng, but was suddenly grabbed by him and pulled into his arms. Nan Qingcheng quickly planted a kiss on Qing Mei's lips. "Thank you, Mei'er. This is your reward." Qing Mei hummed speechlessly. He was too thick-skinned; if he wanted to kiss her, he should just say so instead of using such excuses. Looking at the smile on Nan Qingcheng's face, Qing Mei grabbed his collar, forcing him to lower his head, and then took the initiative to capture his red lips. Qing Mei didn't know how to kiss, so she just bit and gnawed at Nan Qingcheng's lips randomly. Nan Qingcheng watched the Qing Mei before him with satisfaction, though the way she kissed made him uncomfortable. Suddenly, he wrapped his arms around her, turning passive into active, and didn't let go until he felt that Qing Mei was about to lose her breath. Qing Mei glared at Nan Qingcheng angrily; she had intended to tease him, but who would have thought she would be the one left breathless after he caught her. "Satisfied now?" "Mm, satisfied. Little Mei'er is truly wonderful." Nan Qingcheng teased shamelessly. Suddenly, the Ink Qilins stopped running. "Nan Qingcheng!! Nan Qingcheng, where are you going?"
