Chapter 251: Long-Awaited Reunion (Combined Chapter)
Over the years, Liu Yu had developed a habit of drinking spiritual tea. He enjoyed brewing a pot and sipping it slowly while flipping through the Green Bamboo Alchemical Canon or other classic texts.
With the increased frequency of tea brewing, his skills became more refined, and by today, he had already reached a remarkable level of proficiency.
Before long, a pot of steaming spiritual tea infused with wisps of spiritual energy was ready.
He placed two tea cups upside down in front of him and, holding the teapot, gently moved his sleeves. A light blue stream of water poured out until both cups were filled to a little over half.
Lifting one of the cups, he savored the tea while patiently waiting.
Before long, just as he was finishing one cup, he heard movement from the stairs leading to the third floor.
The sound of hurried footsteps grew closer.
Only Liu Yu and Jiang Qiushui held the array talismans to access the third floor of the Jade Alchemy Hall, so it was clear who was arriving.
"Creek~"
The wooden door was gently pushed open, revealing a beautiful figure behind it.
After many years, she was still the same person, her appearance and attire having changed little.
Her face remained as white and exquisite as before, with elegantly arched eyebrows and bright eyes that seemed to shimmer with a watery sheen.
Dressed in a slightly oversized gray robe typical for outer sect disciples, it still could not hide the impressive contours of her figureācurvy and enchanting.
Nearly two decades had passed, during which they had only seen each other a handful of times when collecting spiritual stones. Jiang Qiushui seemed to have changed little.
But time had left its marks; she was nearing fifty this year, and for a qi refinement stage cultivator, that meant she was approaching the midpoint of her lifespan.
Fine crow's feet had formed at the corners of her eyes, and a subtle air of worldly wisdom lingered in her gaze.
Yet, despite this, she appeared more mature and alluring, possessing a breathtaking charm that made one want to tear their clothes off and indulge wildly.
Jiang Qiushui looked at the figure sitting by the wooden table, her gaze filled with mixed emotionsāresentment, dissatisfaction, and the joy of a long-awaited reunion.
"Senior Brother~"
With a soft call, it seemed she had countless words to say, but in the end, nothing came out, all encapsulated in those two words.
"Please, sit."
Liu Yu spoke calmly. He felt a wave of relief but did not have such complicated emotions.
After speaking, he carefully examined Jiang Qiushui, scanning her delicate form from head to toe, finally meeting her bright, watery eyes.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Qiushui's gaze did not flinch or avoid his; it was bold and magnetic, as if drawing in one's heart and mind, entwining them deeply.
"Mm."
Jiang Qiushui replied softly and gracefully stepped forward.
However, instead of sitting on the chair opposite him, she lightly settled onto Liu Yu's lap, displaying remarkable boldness.
After sitting down, she turned to look at Liu Yu, her gaze captivating and filled with longing, resembling a neglected wife.
With soft, fragrant warmth in his embrace and their bodies merely inches apart, even the faintest breath could brush against one another's faces, and the scent of orchid and musk filled the air.
Though his mind remained clear, something within him stirred uncontrollably.
The bullet was in the chamber, ready to fire at any moment.
He reached out with his left hand to gently tuck her hair behind her ear, then softly brushed his fingers against her exquisite, white face.
Liu Yu felt a realization dawn upon him; perhaps this woman needed some comfort.
Acting on this thought, he extended his right arm to pull her waist into his embrace, her delicate head leaning lightly against his shoulder.
What followed was an extended silence, a moment of warmth shared in quietude, as Jiang Qiushui lay contentedly in Liu Yu's embrace.
"Junior Sister, please get up."
