"Akou, relax." Fu Jiuxin's chest was covered in a thin layer of sweat. He used all his willpower to stop and said hoarsely, "Bear with it."
Dou Akou tried it from both sides, but it was still taut like a bow.
She looked at Fu Jiuxin pitifully: "Sir, it hurts even more than when I'm practicing martial arts."
Fu Jiuxin couldn't hear what she was saying anymore, he only saw her lips opening and closing, her face flushed. He suddenly kissed her before she could speak, his waist moving fiercely according to his most primal instincts.
Dou Akou was about to cry.
She struggled beneath Fu Jiuxin, pounding his chest and back, yet she couldn't bear to really hurt him, so she could only let him bully her.
Their hair was tangled together, and Fu Jiuxin's strong chest was covered with a layer of glistening sweat under the moonlight. Such a gentleman was beautiful, but such a gentleman was also dangerous.
Dou Akou regretted not tearing off her husband's "cat ears" when she was five years old; she never expected to experience such a piercing and terrifying pain.
However, once the excruciating pain subsided, a strange, tingling sensation gradually took over.
Dou Akou was at a loss. She whimpered and couldn't hold back any longer. She wrapped her legs around Fu Jiuxin's waist and even lifted her waist slightly.
Fu Jiuxin understood. He breathed heavily, withdrew, and when Dou Akou was feeling lost, he thrust in again, like a bamboo shoot growing taller and taller.
That night, it was raining heavily in Wushan.
Joyful Arrival
When Dou Akou woke up the next day, she found that Fu Jiuxin had been squeezed to the edge of the bed, with half of his body hanging off the edge, while she was still squeezed in his arms.
Dou Akou felt guilty and rolled over inside. As soon as she moved, Fu Jiuxin woke up immediately.
Dou Akou blushed. She recalled their passionate night and suddenly realized that she was still naked. She felt even more embarrassed and shrank deeper into the blankets.
"Sir," she greeted Fu Jiuxin hesitantly, burying herself so that only her eyes were visible, and then rolled further inside.
The distance between the two was wide enough for a horse to walk across.
Fu Jiuxin glanced at her: "Come here."
Dou Akou moved over without any backbone, but before she could even get close to him, he grabbed her waist with one hand and pressed her against his chest.
Neither of them was dressed yet, and their hot skin pressed together, causing a shiver to run through them.
Dou Akou keenly sensed the unusual state of Fu Jiuxin's body and asked naively, "Sir, do you still want it?"
Fu Jiuxin was speechless and coughed a few times: "Akou, I'll get up first, you go back to sleep."
Dou Akou let out an "Oh," and stared blankly as Fu Jiuxin got up and dressed, revealing several red scratches on his strong back from the previous night.
Fu Jiuxin returned quickly, carrying a basin of water. He helped Dou Akou rinse her mouth and wash her face, and then wiped her body.
Dou Akou curled up into a ball and stammered, "Sir, I can do it myself."
Fu Jiuxin said expressionlessly, "I saw it all last night." He paused, then added, "I was the one who bathed you when you were little."
Dou Akou had a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat and couldn't spit it out. She could only awkwardly let Fu Jiuxin wipe her legs clean and change her into clean clothes. With her clothes intact, Dou Akou finally had the courage to look Fu Jiuxin in the eye.
She searched everywhere for her sword, but before she could put it on her waist, Fu Jiuxin suddenly snatched it away.
Dou Akou panicked: "Give it back to me!"
Fu Jiuxin's lightness skill was better than hers, and Dou Akou couldn't reach it even after jumping several times, which made her puff up her cheeks in anger.
"I'll take it for you." Fu Jiuxin threw the knife away, his eyes revealing a well-hidden disgust.
Who gave you permission to wear another man's things?
After they cleaned up, Fu Jiuxin said, "Let's go home."
Dou Akou was stunned for a moment: "Won't you stay a few more days?"
"I'm not staying here anymore. I'm going home to propose marriage to you."
Dou Akou was stunned for a moment, wondering if she had misheard.
Fu Jiuxin was not only concise, but his expression was also so ordinary, as if he were saying, "Go home for breakfast, preferably with scallion pancakes and fried dough sticks."
He glanced back at the red stain on the bedding, and regret showed in his eyes.
I really overreacted last night.
He cherished Akou and was even less willing to take her before marriage, but he was bewitched by this silly little girl. Once he lost control, he lost all sense of propriety and must have hurt her quite a bit last night.
Fu Jiuxin thought of Dou Akou, who had been writhing and yielding beneath him the night before. The usually innocent lamb seemed to have transformed into a little fox in the heat of the moment, exuding such allure and charm.
Thinking of this, his throat became dry. He regulated his breathing for a moment, calmed his surging blood pressure, and turned to call Dou Akou: "Akou, let's go."
He planned to return to the Dou family to propose marriage to Dou Jincai. For love, he wanted to marry Dou Akou as his wife for life; for propriety, having taken Dou Akou's virginity, he felt even more obligated to take responsibility.
Dou Akou snapped out of her daze and chased after him. She was going to marry her husband! This was something she had never dared to dream of before, but now it seemed so close and within her grasp; Dou Akou felt like she was dreaming.
The two had just arrived home and hadn't even seen Dou Jincai when a figure burst out of the door, roaring like lightning: "Akou!"
Fu Jiuxin frowned and gently pulled Dou Akou to the side. The man missed his target and almost fell, but was caught by the man who caught up from behind.
Dou Akou looked closely and exclaimed excitedly, "Senior Sister!"
Tang Xunzhen was also excited: "Akou!"
One of them was being held by Fu Jiuxin, and the other was being held by Gu Huaibi. They waved their arms across each other, like a pair of mandarin ducks forcibly separated, their affection both tender and desolate.
Tang Xunzhen rushed over, grabbed Dou Akou's hand, and looked her up and down. After a long while, she blurted out, "Akou, why have you gained weight again?"
Dou Akou was taken aback. She had been taken very well by Fu Jiuxin these past few days, who fed her meat every day, so her waist had probably gotten a little thicker.
Upon meeting, the two felt they had so much to say to each other, so they held hands and chattered away as they walked inside, completely forgetting about their respective men.
Gu Huaibi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Fu Jiuxin: "Brother Fu, or should I call you the Young Master of Siyou Kingdom?"
Fu Jiuxin readily admitted, "Please excuse my poor performance."
Gu Huaibi suddenly slumped his shoulders: "The half-month period is almost up. All the heroes have prepared their travel supplies and are ready to go to Siyou Kingdom. What do you plan to do?"
Fu Jiuxin remained silent.
Gu Huaibi sighed a few times, then suddenly said firmly, "Brother Fu, this treasure hunt in Siyou Kingdom is already a foregone conclusion. If we end up facing each other in front of Haohui City, then let's see who has the best skills."
Fu Jiuxin nodded and said calmly, "Alright."
After Gu Huaibi explained the matter, he suddenly started laughing and joking again, hooking his arm around Fu Jiuxin's shoulder: "Hey, you've got your junior sister?"
This reminded Fu Jiuxin, who shook off Gu Huaibi's arm around his shoulder and said, "I have other things to do, you can do as you please."
Fu Jiuxin went to find Dou Jincai.
Dou Akou and Tang Xunzhen were talking about what had happened these past few days inside the house. Tang Xunzhen gestured excitedly: "Akou, after you were kidnapped by Ding Zisu that day, we chased after you for a long time but couldn't catch up. Then you disappeared. Huaibi sent people to search everywhere within a hundred miles, and finally they found Mr. Fu's palace... Alas, I never imagined that Mr. Fu was actually the young master of Siyou Kingdom. I, Yiyantang, pride myself on being an expert in all the secrets and anecdotes of the martial arts world, yet I couldn't find out Mr. Fu's identity. After Haohui City was destroyed, my ancestors also tracked down the descendants of Siyou Kingdom, but to no avail. Who knew that your father would pick them up? Later, we investigated for a long time and heard that a new family had recently moved into Longfeng Town. Judging from their description, they seemed quite like your family, so we came here."
She spoke quickly and crisply, leaving Dou Akou no chance to get a word in edgewise; she could only listen with a smile.
Tang Xunzhen continued, "I suppose you were staying at Master's palace when you disappeared, Akou. That palace looks simple, but it's heavily guarded. Huaibi tried to send people in several times, but failed, losing several disciples in the process. I wonder what kind of life you and Master had in there. A paradise on earth, a perfect couple, envied by all, right?"
Tang Xunzhen then became mischievous: "Akou, tell me about these past few days. Our one-man show can't find out such private matters. If you tell me, I'll fill in this gap in the Jianghu Chronicles later."
She's already come up with a title: "Cold and Aloof Young Master, Whose Heart Do You Hold? Why Are You So Passionate?"
Dou Akou was speechless for a moment. In the past, she would have told Tang Xunzhen everything she had to say. But after experiencing so much, she had matured a lot and knew that she could not tell him and give her master something to talk about.
So she just smiled slightly.
To Tang Xunzhen, this smile perfectly reflected her own thoughts, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
Later, a book called "The Chronicles of the Young Master of Siyou Kingdom" circulated widely in the martial arts world. One chapter and section of it specifically described how he imprisoned his beloved in the palace, unleashed his bestial nature, and committed extremely immoral acts for several days and nights. But that's another story.
Tang Xunzhen pondered for a while, then suddenly said, "Akou, is there a woman named Qingdai by Mr. Fu's side? There's also an old man whose martial arts are unfathomable. We can't find out his background from Yiyantang. You have to be careful with these two. Especially that Qingdai, be careful she doesn't steal your husband away."
Dou Akou opened her mouth, wanting to say that the master had already gone to propose marriage, but suddenly became embarrassed and only said, "The master would not."
Tang Xunzhen curled her lip dismissively: "Why not? I think Qingdai has a slender and graceful figure, and her face is quite pretty too. Who knows if she knows any bewitching magic..."
Tang Xunzhen grew increasingly worried. Dou Akou was undeniably charming, but it was a naive, childlike beauty. Men, after all, preferred women with a more feminine touch, something Dou Akou couldn't match in Liu Qingdai…
As she pondered this, she glanced at Dou Akou, only to find that Dou Akou had her head down, seemingly lost in thought. When she shyly looked up, her eyes held a hint of allure.
Tang Xunzhen was shocked. How could the former Akou have ever put on such a seductive posture? Something must have happened.
She stammered, "Akou, you...you...and the gentleman...could it be..."
"You did it?!" Dou Jincai jumped up from his chair and threw a cup of boiling tea at Fu Jiuxin's feet, splashing it all over him.
Third Aunt pressed Dou Jincai's shoulders down and made him sit back down in his chair: "Why are you making such a fuss? Jiu Xin is a smart kid, he's not that absurd."
Dou Jincai also knew that when Fu Jiuxin said he would take Akou back to his old home yesterday, he was already feeling uneasy. He thought that a young couple, who were in love and had feelings for each other, were like dry wood meeting a raging fire... But then he thought that Fu Jiuxin had waited for Dou Akou for ten years without letting him see it at all. With such patience and self-control, he couldn't possibly lose control overnight, could he?
But it still happened, which I never expected.
Dou Jincai thought for a moment and immediately realized that it must be that fool Dou Akou who didn't understand the proper boundaries between men and women and unknowingly provoked Fu Jiuxin, which is why she unwittingly got herself involved...
But he couldn't blame his daughter outwardly, so he could only give Fu Jiuxin another good scolding. He knew in his heart that it was more reassuring for Akou to be with Fu Jiuxin than with other people whose background he didn't know. After a pause, he said reluctantly, "Then... let's set a good date and make it a good day for the two of you."
He hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Keep the ceremony simple and try not to disturb others." After all, the Dou family had fled from Ziwei Qingdu, and making a big fuss might only cause unnecessary trouble.
“I know,” Fu Jiuxin nodded. “I’ll arrange everything.”
