Chapter 301: The Honey Brewed by the Little Honeybee is Super Sweet (9)

After being detoxified, Song Chuyi lazily sprawled over Tai Shuqing.

Tai Shuqing wrapped his arms around his waist and lightly tapped the small of his back with his fingertips.

It tickled a bit.

Song Chuyi let out a little whimper.

Tai Shuqing stopped his fingers. "Are you okay, A'Chu?"

"It tickles, stop that," Song Chuyi said, patting Tai Shuqing's chest, his eyes crinkling with a smile. "Do you think he'll show up again?"

"Yes, he will," Tai Shuqing replied, his voice cold. "Do you want to fight him, A'Chu?"

"Hmm?" Song Chuyi's eyes brightened. "Are you saying you want me to fight him?"

He hadn’t really considered it before.

He wasn’t naturally inclined to fight and always preferred peace. The thought of fighting had never occurred to him.

But now that Tai Shuqing mentioned it, he felt a little tempted.

Taking on an immortal protagonist must be pretty exciting.

"Alright," Song Chuyi readily agreed. "Next time he shows up, I’ll take him on!"

He simply hummed in response.

Just as Tai Shuqing had predicted, the male lead showed up again.

This time, Song Chuyi stood in front of Tai Shuqing and started battling the male lead.

Recognizing the person who had led him to the flower field last time, the male lead was immediately angry.

"Move! I’m here to fight him!"

Song Chuyi smiled and said, "The rules have changed now. If you want to take him on, you’ll have to go through me first."

Male lead: ...

The two clashed once more.

The male lead was talkative, loving to mumble during fights and shout out some very chuunibyou-style move names.

For example:

"Watch this move! Sword Slash Nine Heavens!"

"Ahhh! How could you break my move so easily!"

"Watch my Lie Yang Eighteen Forms!"

Hmm... the male lead's name was Lie Yang, and the Lie Yang Eighteen Forms was a technique he had developed himself.

As expected of the male lead, such comprehension was indeed unparalleled.

But still, he was a bit too green.

Song Chuyi dodged his ultimate move, still smiling.

"Not quite yet."

Lie Yang grew more determined with each failure and fought Song Chuyi all day.

Until sunset, when Tai Shuqing raised his hand and sent him flying away.

Lie Yang's roar could still be heard in the distance, "You cheated! I'll be back, you'll see!"

Song Chuyi: ...

He turned to look at Tai Shuqing, "Why'd you step in?"

Tai Shuqing drew him into his arms, "A'Chu, you need to rest."

Song Chuyi snorted lightly, "I just can't sleep."

Unexpectedly, Tai Shuqing seemed to like what he heard. His eyes flickered as he took his finger.

He took it into his mouth and bit down.

The sweet blood coated Tai Shuqing's lips and teeth.

A white light flashed over Song Chuyi's fingertip, and the bite mark healed instantly.

But Tai Shuqing's body began to flush slightly.

"It's alright."

Tai Shuqing's cold voice carried a hint of tenderness.

"A'Chu, just reward me and you'll sleep."

Song Chuyi: ???

What? Reward? Reward him for biting my finger and then healing it?

Song Chuyi's mouth twitched, "You..."

"Didn't I say we can't keep doing this?"

The corners of Tai Shuqing's eyes were red from the sweet blood, but his gaze remained cold.

"A'Chu told me not to bite your lips."

"I did listen to A'Chu."

He didn't bite your lips, just your finger.

He really did listen to A'Chu.

Song Chuyi was speechless!

Alright, alright, so you didn't bite my mouth, just my finger, huh?

How did Tai Shuqing find this loophole?

Song Chuyi sat on Tai Shuqing's lap and jabbed his chest.

"Next time, don't bite your finger."

After a pause.

"Don't bite anywhere!"

A faint smile flickered in Tai Shuqing's eyes.

"Alright, I'll do as A'Chu says."

He shifted his hips. "A'Chu, reward me."

Song Chuyi's lips twitched, but he knew the potency of his strange poison.

At the moment, detoxification was the priority.

He leaned in and kissed Tai Shuqing's lips.

——

After being sent flying, Lie Yang landed in a secret realm.

He inherited the secret realm's power, growing even stronger.

Lie Yang's desire for revenge faded; now, he only wanted to defeat Tai Shuqing.

Defeating the great demon king Tai Shuqing had become his sole ambition.

Two weeks later, Lie Yang charged into the ice palace once more.

He grabbed his weapon and leapt into battle.

Once again, Song Chuyi stood in his way.

Lie Yang brimmed with confidence; armed with the secret realm's power, he was certain he could take down Song Chuyi and then Tai Shuqing.

Lie Yang battled Song Chuyi for two hours before Tai Shuqing sent him flying once more.

This time, Lie Yang took precautions, setting up a teleportation array at the mountain's base.

After being sent flying, he teleported back instantly.

However, locating the array's core took time, and Lie Yang returned after nightfall.

He slipped into the ice palace, intending to startle the pair.

Approaching the ice palace, he caught Song Chuyi's voice.

Unlike his bright, lively tone from earlier, his voice now held a sultry edge.

"Not so fast!"

His tone was sharp, yet it sent a shiver down the spine.

Then Tai Shuqing's voice cut through.

"Easy now, relax."

Though still cool, it carried a hint of tender allure.

Lie Yang scratched his head, not knowing what these two were doing.

He peeked sneakily and saw Song Chuyi sitting on Tai Shuqing.

Neither of them was wearing clothes, and he couldn't figure out what they were up to.

But Song Chuyi's face was red, and she scolded:

"So this time, instead of biting, you're going straight for piercing, huh?"

"Tai Shuqing, you're such a jerk!"

Though it sounded like a scold, there was no anger, just a touch of flirtation.

Lie Yang sensed something was amiss.

But he couldn't quite figure it out.

He wanted to steal a few more looks, but at that moment, Tai Shuqing seemed to sense something and slightly turned his head to look at him.

Those icy eyes locked onto him.

For a split second, Lie Yang was convinced Tai Shuqing wanted him dead.

His mind went completely blank, and he only saw Tai Shuqing mouthing a word at him.

"Scram"

Then, as if yanked by an invisible string, he was flung far away.

After slamming hard into the ground, Lie Yang spat out a mouthful of blood.

He had never been hurt this bad before.

What made it worse was that he didn't even see Tai Shuqing's move!

And what the hell were those two up to?

He was completely clueless.

If Song Chuyi were around, he'd have eagerly explained everything.

It's pretty typical for a shounen manga hero to be clueless about love and all that!

But with Song Chuyi absent, Lie Yang had to keep his curiosity to himself.

Luckily, a buddy came to his rescue. As he healed and trained, he secretly plotted his return to the ice palace.

He was hell-bent on uncovering what those two were up to!
