Chapter 3244 — Cheng Yiyi's Predicament
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
It was only that the immense pressure bearing down on her sometimes smothered that fondness; and when Cheng Yiyi set out to overturn that pressure, her affection for Wei Zhao came pouring out all at once—just as it had the instant Xu Shilan found her mother.
Cheng Yiyi said nothing. She turned in silence, walked to the doorway, bent down, and picked her nightgown up off the floor…
Wei Zhao, however, secretly swallowed hard. The moment she bent over, the mysterious region beneath her body pointed squarely at his line of sight, and he felt his blood surge.
Was she doing it on purpose? Yes—Cheng Yiyi was doing it on purpose! She was feeling rather aggrieved. Earlier, when she had offered him her body, it had been out of helplessness, forced by circumstance—and he had refused her. It stung. Was she not pretty? Not sexy? Not well built? What right did he have to turn her down?
So Cheng Yiyi set her mind on tempting Wei Zhao once more. When she whirled around and saw the flush creeping across his face, she broke into a smile. So he was not truly unmoved by a woman in his lap—he simply had better self-control than most…
He definitely still had ideas about her! At that thought, Cheng Yiyi felt a measure of balance restored.
Her nightgown was on, but it was only a robe: nothing underneath, no buttons above, just a belt at the waist holding it shut. If Cheng Yiyi were to sit down, her upper body would be barely veiled…
Like a little wildcat, Cheng Yiyi gave a sly grin and sat down in front of Wei Zhao. From his angle, he could see straight down her collar to her chest…
"Ahem…" Wei Zhao was somewhat helpless. Reluctantly, he "firmly" shifted his gaze away and said to Cheng Yiyi, "Go on—what did you want to see me about?"
"Making… love," Cheng Yiyi said.
"Pff—cough, cough, cough…" That one word sent Wei Zhao into a fit of coughing.
"I'm serious. You saw it yourself just now—it's true enough." Cheng Yiyi shrugged innocently, and for an instant her collar gaped wide open.
"…" At her "making… love," Wei Zhao's gaze was drawn back again, and he caught sight of a little more of what he should not have seen. He was left speechless.
"All right… actually, I came to come clean with you." Cheng Yiyi knew when to stop. If she teased Wei Zhao without end, he might find it novel at first, but before long he might just throw her out—and that would be her tragedy.
"A skilled early Earth Rank cultivator? I've known for a while." Talk had turned to serious matters, and Wei Zhao put away his earlier awkward smile and spoke plainly.
"How did you know? When did you find out? Or rather—did you know from the very start… who I am?" Cheng Yiyi asked, astonished.
"I knew from the first time I saw you," Wei Zhao said. "When Xu Shilan and I went out together and ran into danger, I already suspected you—only… I couldn't be certain."
"You suspected me even then?" Cheng Yiyi was stunned. She had not expected to be exposed so early, and she felt rather deflated. "Wei Zhao, I'm a celebrity, for goodness' sake—performing is my stock in trade. You suspected me the first time you saw me? Am I really that pathetic?"
"It has nothing to do with your acting." Wei Zhao waved a hand. "I have an ability—I can see a person's cultivation rank directly. So long as they're an internal cultivator, I can tell their level without any need for them to circulate their mental techniques or mantras! Of course, you're welcome to report that little talent of mine back to your master behind the scenes—Feng Tianhu."
