Something's Poking My Behind?

There was a moment of silence, of utter unbridled comfort between two people.

Yun Yao forgot she was sitting on his lap, too absorbed by the moment. As for Zhao Wei, he was all too aware of Yun Yao. How could he not be? How could he remain oblivious to the dizzying womanly scent that was unique to her?

Her body's weight pressing down on his lap didn't make him any more calm. The heat from her soft, sensual body seeped through her clothes and subtly warmed him up even though he was already self-sufficient. For the love of the Lord of Cheese, Zhao Wei could even perfectly feel her slightly large but jiggly buttocks!

"Hey, I think something is poking my behind." Yun Yao side-eyed Zhao Wei with a curious but embarrassed expression on her face.

Zhao Wei arched his brows, not showing any ripples on his face. "Something poking your behind? I wonder what it is, Miss Yun."

The red on Yun Yao's cheeks intensified as mild anger and embarrassment overwhelmed her emotions.

"You know what I am talking about, you pervert!"

Zhao Wei chuckled intensely as he found Yun Yao to be very cute when she was a raging mess of emotions.

"What's so funny, huh? Do you think it's funny having something unknown threaten your behind?" Yun Yao questioned with an intimidating glare aimed at Zhao Wei.

Hearing her words, Zhao Wei only further increased the intensity of his laughter and he only stopped when Yun Yao gave his abdomen a vindictive pinch.

"Ouch, that hurt," Zhao Wei said blandly as the laughter receded.

"Serves you right, perv." Yun Yao rolled her eyes before gazing at her hand.

'Is this bastard made out of metal? His side wings are super hard like a spiritual artifact.' She thought incredulously.

"Do you want to know what's poking you?" Zhao Wei asked with a wicked smirk dancing on his handsome face.

"Do you take me for a clueless kid?" Yun Yao awkwardly smiled as she uneasily shifted her body which made her butt press more on the 'spear'. She felt it and her eyes widened in both realization, curiosity, and wonder. She was a grown woman, so how could she not be privy to information about the male body?

"It's my treasured weapon. But fear not, fair maiden. It only attacks defenseless women who sit on laps uninvited." Zhao Wei leaned toward her ear and seductively teased her. His breath made her body involuntarily spasm and her toes curl. It took all of her willpower not to purr like a horny cat.

Yun Yao felt humiliated by the fact that someone younger than her, a mere boy with a 'slightly' good appearance, could have such an effect on her.

Hot and bothered, she abruptly pushed Zhao Wei away and found herself a couple of distances away from him. Her hands never let go of the canvas as she tightly held it like her life depended on it.

"Did you have to overreact, Yun Yao?" He chortled derisively as he supported his body on the ground. He had allowed the fall to give her momentary satisfaction.

"I have never met someone as shameless and perverted as you, Zhao Wei. I don't think I will ever meet another one like you." She shook her head lightly as her mirthful eyes gazed down at the man on the ground.

"Perverted? I am everything but perverted. What you witnessed was just a simple biological reaction from a healthy young man. Nothing unordinary." Zhao Wei aimed his right index finger at his temple before he began moving it in a circular motion.

"Biological? I have never heard that word." Yun Yao got easily distracted by the new vocabulary.

'Oh, right. I forgot the cultivation world isn't ready for science.' Zhao Wei briefly looked at the sky as he thought.

"It's something to do with the body and life forms in general," Zhao Wei tersely answered her.

"That's...phenomenal. Apart from Alchemy, did you happen to also study ancient medicine?"

"I guess you could say that." Zhao shrugged as he rose from the ground. Surprisingly, he didn't have any dirt on his clothes.

"What's up with that answer?" She found herself pouting like a dissatisfied little girl.

"It's the..." Zhao Wei's words trailed off and he whipped his head toward the gate to his residence.

"Oh my, is the whole family after me?" He muttered under his breath.

He then looked back at Yun Yao. "Our little meeting is over, Yun Yao."

"Why?" Yun Yao gave him a puzzling look, her shoulders slightly slumped. Unknowingly, she increased her grip on the wooden canvas.

'Is he already tired of my presence? It can't be.' She thought in fear and worry. If possible, she wanted to stay with him for the whole day since she currently had no quotas to meet.

Zhao Wei studied her micro-expressions, her quickening heartbeat, dimming eyes, tensed hands...

"Yun Mengxiang is outside the gate." He quickly clarified lest Yun Yao's mind continue wandering to darker places.

In one step, he arrived in front of her, much to her surprise. It was as if space and distance could shrink when he moved.

"Why do you like thinking of the worst possible scenarios?" Zhao Wei combed the strand of loose hair from her face and gently tucked it behind her ear.

Her body trembled in surprise due to his unbelievable speed and sudden touch. His gentle actions filled her with warmth and the dark thoughts in her mind began to fade away.

"Did you think I was chasing you away?" He playfully pinched her soft cheek before putting his hand to his side.

"Zhao Wei...you can be too confusing at times," Yun Yao softly sighed.

"Why do you say so?"

"Beware, don't ever play with a woman's feelings. Things will get dangerous in the future if you entangle yourself with other women," Yun Yao inched closer, her tone dark and deadly. An indecipherable light shone in her eyes as she placed her palm on his chest.

While not meeting his gaze, Yun Yao then began to slowly head towards the gate.

'What was that?' Zhao Wei pursed his lips as he stared at Yun Yao's whole baking industry.

'Was that a warning? Or a hidden message?'

Chuckling to himself for failing to decipher Yun Yao's vague warning despite having high comprehension levels, Zhao Wei slowly retreated to his mansion.

Maybe taking a cold bath could give him flashes of enlightenment.

He remembered he needed to retrieve a technique from the Hollow Building before his first sect mission. He had been procrastinating the visit but now he had found a suitable time.
