After comforting themselves, Li Chen and Yu Qingci made their way to a quiet, secluded spot.
Li Chen, his robes torn and his body covered in cuts and wounds, looked over at Qingci.
His voice was weary but teasing.
"Would you now change into your previous form?"
Yu Qingci held his hand gently, her fingers warm and firm.
She smiled softly.
"Hmm... Husband, I suggest you also change into someone else."
Li Chen nodded, his expression turning serious.
"You're right, Cici. We need to stay more alert after this assassination attempt."
Without delay, he activated his transformation technique, altering his appearance to that of a rogue cultivator—with a muscular frame and faintly dark skin.
Yu Qingci chuckled at the sight.
"Husband, you didn't have to turn into such a muscle-bound brute...
But I must say, that darker skin suits your face quite well."
With a playful glint in her eyes, she tiptoed and placed a light kiss on his cheek.
Surprised, Li Chen instinctively touched the spot.
"Really?"
She gave a faint laugh.
"Yes. You can look in the mirror."
He shook his head and grinned.
"No. I believe you."
Soon, they arrived at the Silvercloud Trade Hall in Moonshadow City.
As Yu Qingci approached the main gate, the stationed guards immediately bowed.
"We greet the Branch Manager!"
She lifted her chin with authority.
"Guard the gates. Stop anyone from entering.
Tell them trading is suspended today—they can return tomorrow."
"Yes, Manager Yu!" the guards echoed in unison.
She and Li Chen passed through the gate and ascended directly to the fifth floor.
As they walked through the elegant halls, curious gazes followed them.
Whispers echoed among the staff of Silvercloud.
"Who is this noble man?"
"How can someone make Manager Yu personally escort him?"
Inside the room, Li Chen exhaled a breath of relief and whispered to himself,
"It's good they don't know that Cici has already become my woman.
If they did, their stares alone would probably kill me."
Yu Qingci entered and called out without delay,
"Xiaobai, prepare hot water and bring the medicines from the third floor.
Also, inform everyone—no disturbances until tomorrow morning."
Xiaobai, a graceful and elegant maid, immediately gathered the list.
As she turned to leave, she paused for a moment to glance at Li Chen—just once.
Li Chen noticed her gaze, calm and assessing. But he didn't comment.
"What could she do anyway? Her master... is now my wife."
Li Chen walked to the bed and let his body collapse against the soft cushions, exhaustion pulling at him.
Yu Qingci closed the door behind them and followed.
She lay beside him, slowly undressing him to check his wounds.
When her eyes landed on the deep gashes—marks of daggers, blades, and other cruel weapons—her heart clenched in pain.
"If only I were strong enough..."
The thought halted her breath.
She leaned in and gently pressed her arm across the large wound on his chest, channeling her spiritual energy to soothe it.
Li Chen, watching her care for him, felt a stab of helplessness rise in his chest.
He recalled Huang Jin's twisted words:
"How could you understand pain and helplessness unless you experience it yourself?"
Goosebumps pricked his arms.
"Huang Jin... that bastard. Even after his death, I still can't relax."
He took a steadying breath.
"I need to calm myself."
Without warning, he reached out, grasped her wrist, and gently pulled her into an embrace.
Then, he kissed her lips—firmly, needing her warmth more than ever.
Yu Qingci didn't resist. Despite his injuries, she returned the kiss with equal, even greater, passion.
"Ummm... husband..." she murmured between breaths.
She slipped her hand from his grasp and slowly let it wander toward his sleeping cock.
She slowly rubbed her fingers against his cock.
Though it was covered from clothes , his long cock began to thicken, slowly rising with each gentle stroke.
Yu Qingci paused her kiss and lifted her hand, placing her fingers lightly against his lips.
Li Chen sucked them in without hesitation, coating them fully with his saliva.
With a sultry gaze, she gently pulled her fingers out and slipped them beneath the folds of his lower garments.
Her wet fingertips stroked along his fat dick, teasing it softly.
As the moist warmth made contact with his rising cock, it suddenly surged upward—
like a dragon awakened, it even tore apart the fabric of his lower clothes.
He stood up, his eyes fixed on her large, curvy breasts.
Without hesitation, he tore her clothes apart and twisted her body around.
Her bare, thick ass teased his gaze—
as if merely staring at them wasn't enough… hurry taste them.
Yu Qingci let out a soft, seductive voice.
"Ummm… Husband, why are you staring at them like you're seeing them for the first time?"
After hearing this, he couldn't wait any longer.
He pulled out his long dick who was throbbing from hunger, and with a swift motion, gave her thick butt a few hard slaps.
Pap... pap... pap...
The sound of his cock meeting her soft butts echoed throughout the room.
He rubbed his dick between her buttocks, slowly, deliberately.
"Mmm... Husband, stop teasing me..." she moaned breathlessly.
"Just fuck me, okay? Ummm..."
He didn't let her wait any longer.
With one firm thrust, he pushed his dick inside her asshole.
If it had been before, she might have struggled to take him fully—
but now, her every hole welcomed his harden cock as if it belonged there,
even stretching its tender skin just to pull his cock in deeper.
Li Chen began to move inside her, thrusting slowly at first.
But after just a few strokes, he paused.
He could feel it—he needed something more.
A bit of lubrication.
He moved to her face, his dick swaying like trees caught in a tornado.
Lowering himself, he kissed her lips before placing his cock inside her mouth.
With one hand gripping her hair, he began to move his waist rhythmically.
"Umm… hgggh… ughhh… ughhh… plop..."
The sound of her deep-throating filled the room as his long dick slid in and out, quickening with her eager pace.
After a few intense moments, he pulled out his cock from her mouth and sat back on the bed, slowly stroking it with one hand.
"Wife… come," he said with a smirk,
"Let me give you a ride."
Cici approached him with a flushed face.
She grabbed his dick with both hands, positioned herself over his dick, and slowly sat down on him.
Her hips began to move, rising and falling in steady rhythm.
Her legs trembled from the strain and the lingering pain, but she didn't stop.
Instead, her pace gradually quickened, her breathing hot against his ear.
Just as their passion reached a new height—
Knock. Knock.
A voice came from the other side of the door.
"Master, may I come in? I've collected the herbs you needed," Xiaobai called out softly.
Li Chen, who had been thrusting deeply into her anus suddenly froze mid-motion.
He looked at Yu Qingci, while fucking her hard, and silently asked with his eyes—
What should we do now?
