Chapter 2385 — Breakthrough, the Pinnacle of the Mid Earth Rank!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"A little closer!" Wei Zhao felt he was only a hair's breadth from success, and urged Wang Xinyan anxiously.
"Oh... all right..." Wang Xinyan unconsciously shifted her body a little nearer to Wei Zhao, until she was on the verge of pressing right against him, which only made her more flushed with embarrassment. It was not as though they had never been close during military training, but the situation was different now—she had nothing on but a single bedsheet!
"Still not quite there. Could you... open the bedsheet a little?" Wei Zhao knew he was asking a great deal of her, but at this moment he had no choice. He was unwilling to give up, for he had already touched the barrier of the pinnacle of the mid Mystic Rank, and was only a tiny step from breaking through!
"What? Underneath I'm..." Wang Xinyan wanted to say that she had nothing on beneath it, but when she saw Wei Zhao's contorted face, her heart gave a start. Fearing she might delay his healing, she stopped caring about such things. I've already been seen during military training, she thought; it makes no difference now!
So Wang Xinyan steeled herself, flung the bedsheet away, and pressed her whole body against Wei Zhao!
Wei Zhao felt a fragrant, soft, delicate body fall into his embrace, and a sudden heat flared below him, but he knew this was no time for other thoughts. He hastily steadied his mind and continued to circulate the second layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art!
"Boom!"
Wei Zhao felt the fragrance of Wang Xinyan's body seem to merge with the true qi within his own, forming a wave of heat that surged into his dantian and then spread outward. That wave split into countless fine streams of true qi, beginning to spread through the meridians of his whole body and nourish them!
A breakthrough! At last, a breakthrough! Wild joy filled Wei Zhao's heart. This breakthrough had been arduous, but the result was good—and most of the credit belonged to Wang Xinyan. Without her, he could never have broken through today!
But at the thought of Wang Xinyan, the joy in his heart was instantly doused by embarrassment. How was he to face her now?
Though Wei Zhao had not opened his eyes, his perception within the jade pendant's space was clearer than seeing with his own eyes; gazing at Wang Xinyan's naked, jade-like body, he forced down the impulse in his heart and grew somewhat troubled...
This time... he was in serious trouble! Before, it had always been misunderstandings, but could this still be counted as one?
How was he to explain it to Wang Xinyan? And how was he to face her from now on? Wei Zhao's head began to ache. He truly had not expected that Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu would bring Wang Xinyan over under such circumstances!
If Wang Xinyan had not just bathed, she might simply have unbuttoned her shirt as usual, but this time, beneath the bedsheet there was nothing at all!
As things stood, Wei Zhao was embarrassed—but by the look of it, Wang Xinyan was even more so! Though her body was pressed against his, her breathing was desperately rapid, her face frighteningly red. She did not dare move, her body rigid on the bed, her eyes shut, lying there foolishly...
Alas! Wei Zhao sighed. If he opened his eyes and spoke to her now, they would both be utterly mortified. After all, though there was a certain subtle tension between him and Wang Xinyan, it had certainly never reached the point of seeing each other naked.
So Wei Zhao quickly made his decision: for the time being, he would pretend to be asleep. Pretending not to know about this and letting Wang Xinyan slip away first was probably the best solution; otherwise, he truly did not know how to face her!
At that thought, Wei Zhao's breathing began to even out. Having carried out many special missions in the past, he found it easy to feign sleep, and outsiders would naturally notice no flaw.
