Chapter 39 Rekindling Old Feelings with Liu Ruyan

But Zhou Tian stood still and didn't move.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Ruyan turned to look at her.

"Senior sister, you look even more beautiful than you did a couple of days ago."

Zhou Tian teased him with a mischievous grin.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but bite her lower lip.

Those usually cool eyes were now glistening with tears, reflecting a complex mix of emotions.

She looked up at Zhou Tian, ​​her voice tinged with grievance:

"Hmph, junior brother... now all of us senior sisters are yours. Are you... satisfied now?"

The question was abrupt, yet it revealed the emotions that had been building up inside her.

Last night, the nine phoenixes slept together, but she was unable to participate due to her pregnancy and could only watch from the sidelines.

Watching Zhou Tian entangle with his other junior sisters, watching them moan and break through to their limits beneath him, watching them go from resistance to initiative and finally to surrender...

That feeling was complex and hard to describe.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tian was taken aback at first, then smiled.

He released his hand from Liu Ruyan's waist, then cupped her face in his hands, making her look into his eyes.

"Is my senior sister jealous?"

"I...I didn't."

Liu Ruyan looked away, but her ears turned bright red.

"You still say no."

"I saw it all in your eyes last night. Aggrieved, resentful... and a little bit unwilling, wasn't that right?"

Zhou Tian chuckled softly and gently touched her cheek with his thumb.

Liu Ruyan was embarrassed when he hit the nail on the head and tried to break free, but Zhou Tian held her face firmly in his hands.

"Senior sister,"

"No matter how many women I have, you will always be my first. That will never change."

Zhou Tian stopped smiling and said in a serious tone.

Liu Ruyan trembled all over.

She looked up at Zhou Tian, ​​and her clear, cold eyes gradually welled up with tears.

"Really?"

"certainly."

"Last night was a special night. My master's wife gave orders that the sect was in danger... But in my heart, I always reserved a very special place for my senior sister."

Zhou Tian nodded and lowered his head to place a kiss on her forehead.

That's half true and half false.

Liu Ruyan was indeed his first woman. The initial awkwardness and the surprise of the breakthrough were both unforgettable for him.

But as for who is "most special"... Zhou Tian sighed inwardly. Each of the nine senior sisters had her own unique strengths, and he really couldn't rank them.

However, at this moment, calming Liu Ruyan down is more important.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, most of the grievance in Liu Ruyan's eyes dissipated.

She nestled gently into Zhou Tian's arms, her voice muffled:

"Last night... you only had eyes for the other junior sisters. Ziling was so proactive, Qinglian was so shy, and Ling'er even let you ride her... I... I could only watch..."

She became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and her eyes even reddened.

Zhou Tian chuckled inwardly. This aloof senior sister had become more and more womanly since becoming pregnant.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer into his embrace.

"So, Senior Sister came to see me alone today specifically to make amends?"

Liu Ruyan stiffened and remained silent, but her flushed ears betrayed her thoughts.

Zhou Tian looked around.

The bamboo grove was quiet and secluded, and the path was deserted.

A thought struck him, and he lowered his head to whisper in Liu Ruyan's ear:

"Senior sister, while the other senior sisters are away... how about we rekindle our old flame?"

A warm breath brushed past her ear, and Liu Ruyan trembled.

"What nonsense are you talking about...?"

"I...I'm pregnant now, I can't..."

She was so embarrassed that she wanted to push Zhou Tian away, but she didn't have much strength in her hands.

"I know."

"But doesn't Senior Sister still have...this place?"

Zhou Tian interrupted her, his fingers lightly tracing the shape of her lips.

Liu Ruyan's pupils suddenly contracted.

She looked at Zhou Tian in disbelief, her usually cool face instantly turning red, even her neck turning pink.

"You, you...you're so mean!"

She punched Zhou Tian in shame and anger, but her eyes were glistening with tears and a seductive charm.

Zhou Tian smiled and grasped her fist: "Senior Sister doesn't want to? Then forget it, let's go to the main hall..."

As he spoke, he made a gesture as if to let go.

"Wait, wait..."

Liu Ruyan, however, grabbed his sleeve.

She bit her lower lip, her eyes darting around, her voice barely audible: "...people will pass by here..."

"There's a secluded corner deep in the bamboo forest that I discovered yesterday."

Zhou Tian chuckled softly.

"If Senior Sister is willing, let's go there."

Liu Ruyan fell silent.

She looked up at Zhou Tian, ​​then looked around; the bamboo forest was indeed quiet and deserted.

Finally, she nodded slightly.

"Just this once... and you have to be quick..."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhou Tian smiled and took her hand. The two of them disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest in a flash.

Deep in the bamboo forest, there is a small clearing covered with thick bamboo leaves. Sunlight filters through the leaves, creating dappled light and shadow.

Zhou Tian leaned against a thick bamboo pole, while Liu Ruyan knelt in front of him.

Her cheeks flushed, her eyes darted away, and her hands unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes.

Her plain white dress spread out on the bamboo leaves, like a blooming white lotus.

"Junior brother..."

"I...I've never done this before...I'm not very good at it..."

Liu Ruyan's voice trembled.

"I'll teach you."

Zhou Tian reached out and gently lifted her chin.

Liu Ruyan tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Sunlight shone on her face, and her cool, jade-like features were now flushed with a rosy glow, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.

With a gentle lift of her slender hand, she removed the white jade hairpin that held her hair in place.

Her long, flowing black hair cascaded down her shoulders, with a few stray strands clinging to her flushed cheeks.

She simply tied her long hair up and secured it with a hairpin, revealing her fair and slender neck.

She performed the action slowly and carefully, as if she were performing some kind of ritual.
