Chapter 117: Unteachable
============================================================
Su Cheng felt slightly breathless, as if something heavy pressed against his chest…
The bed was soaked through… There was no way he could sleep…
He gently moved the naked little dragon off him, placing her on the sofa and covering her with a blanket.
Yulan looked fine when clothed, but now she appeared frail and vulnerable—the kind of girl who naturally evoked a man's protective instincts.
Su Cheng lit a cigarette with 25 system points, leaning back on the sofa to observe Yu Lan. He suspected he’d left an indelible shadow in Xiaolong’s heart—she’d probably never want to come back a second time…
Amidst puffs of smoke, Su Cheng began contemplating life…
"What are you thinking about, husband?"
"Wondering how many years they'd get for this sort of thing. In this world, it'd probably mean a death sentence."
"My lord always ponders things beyond my understanding."
"Anyway, I won't run away. Whether I'm wrong or not, I'll take responsibility for you."
"Then might you unlock my handcuffs first?"
Yu Lan stood with his hands behind his back, shifting sideways like a caterpillar, a hint of indulgent amusement in his smile.
Truth be told, she was somewhat astonished that these shackles could suppress her cultivation! Yet she wasn't particularly curious about their origin.
After all, Su Cheng had bought them last night using fifty thousand system points. There wasn't much of a story behind them—just a moment of impulse buying.
Su Cheng gave an awkward chuckle and promptly stowed the cuffs back into his system backpack. After all, they cost fifty thousand points! Who knew when they might come in handy?
"Who told you to be naughty?"
"Yes, yes, yes! My husband is absolutely right!" Yu Lan flexed her wrists, thinking she should fetch him something to eat after his exhausting night.
Just as she tried to stand… she realized… her legs… wouldn't hold her weight!
Yu Lan stumbled, just like Xu Zhanfeng had, and knelt at Su Cheng's feet. Uh… even Yu Lan felt a bit awkward.
"Um, you're not a child. No red envelope for you."
Su Cheng helped Yu Lan up and cradled her in his arms. Truth be told, Yu Lan looked so delicate and frail that if he'd seen her on the street, Su Cheng doubted anyone could have recognized her as the Dragon King.
"I love you, husband."
"Mm."
"I love my husband!"
"Got it!"
"I want to kiss my husband!"
"I thought you'd learned your lesson."
Su Cheng sighed helplessly as Yu Lan hung onto his neck, her pink lips like tiny stamps pecking at his face like a chick.
Only when Su Cheng responded with a deep kiss did she wipe the drool—or rather, dragon saliva—from her lips with satisfaction. "Dragons can never be tamed, didn't you know?"
Su Cheng raised an eyebrow and gave her a firm squeeze on the butt. "If you don't know, I love challenging the impossible."
Yu Lan prepared a feast to reward her husband for his outstanding performance last night.
"Mmm~ This is your reward, husband~"
"Did you make this?"
"Of course… not. I had someone prepare it."
Su Cheng couldn't eat much, but he gave her ample face by eating more than usual.
At this moment, he didn't feel Yulan would be stingy with the dragon pearls. But what about Yulan?
"Is there something on my face?" Yu Lan noticed Su Cheng's gaze and asked bluntly. At this moment, there was truly no barrier between them; they were already completely open with each other.
"I was wondering how I should explain this to my disciples…"
Yu Lan, however, didn't seem to mind: "You don't have to explain. I don't care that much. I don't want to trouble you."
Su Cheng could only think… this was absolutely the most supreme seduction technique!
No flirtatious gestures, no sensual allure—this was a magical attack with built-in spell penetration. And for Yu Lan, such a wondrous assault required nothing more than parting her rosy lips, effortless and easy.
Yulan looked at Su Cheng, who was staring at her in shock, and spoke again: "Don't look at me like that. I'm serious. If you don't know how to explain it, then just don't explain it, okay?"
"I thought…"
"You think you understand women?" Yulan chuckled. Ever since waking up today, Su Cheng's troubled expression had been permanently etched on his face.
It wasn't about any scheme. Yulan genuinely didn't care. She was the Dragon King—she didn't need Su Cheng to grant her any status. Being the Dragon King was the ultimate status.
"Um…"
"Then perhaps this humble wife shall go to Lingxian Hall and become your disciple. Your disciples receive such splendid treatment—this humble wife is rather envious."
Su Cheng hastily shook his head. What cultivation level did Yu Lan possess? If she became his disciple, what would become of him?
Though he was now at the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment, mastering the Dragon King in daylight still proved challenging.
"You're willing to leave the Dragon King's Hall?"
"My lord, are you implying you don't want me by your side?"
Ugh… Su Cheng truly couldn't bring himself to refuse. As a woman, Yu Lan was so understanding—he'd be hard-pressed to find another like her!
Su Cheng understood clearly: she had already lowered herself. If he still rejected her, he'd be nothing short of a beast…
Besides, Yu Lan had made this concession clearly just to be with him. Why else would she explain herself? No one else would know.
Wasn't it precisely for this reason, time and time again?
If Su Cheng rejected her, she would never have agreed!
"That's not it. I said I'd take responsibility, and I won't go back on my word."
Yu Lan remained silent as Su Cheng raised his hand and produced another Jade Pendant…
"How did you get another one?" Yu Lan stared in confusion at the jade pendant in Su Cheng's hand, then glanced at the one in her own grasp—belonging to Lingxian Hall…
"This is for you. Will you become an elder of Lingxian Hall?"
Su Cheng offered the jade pendant to Yu Lan. Its front bore the characters "Yu Lan," while the reverse displayed "Lingxian Hall."
In contrast, Su Cheng's jade pendant bore no name, only the characters "Lingxian."
"Does it include room and board?"
Yu Lan was truly a clever woman. Su Cheng could feel her care for him. As long as she didn't throw tantrums, she was perfect.
Talking with Yu Lan felt incredibly comfortable—a rare kind of ease. Su Cheng knew no man could resist this.
"Um… when you say 'board and lodging included,' which one do you mean?"
"I don't know. Wouldn't my husband be suitable?"
"Don't you know whether your husband is acceptable?"
Su Cheng exchanged the elder's Jade Pendant for his own, though Yulan had no intention of keeping it for herself.
After briefly explaining its usage to Yulan, Su Cheng prepared to head home. This time, it was an adult's choice—he'd taken both the spirit pearl and the beauty with him.
"Aren't you going to rest a little longer?"
Su Cheng shook his head. Both disciples were still nursing and couldn't be left alone.
"My two disciples are still in Dingzhou City. They can't be left alone. If I'm not there, who knows what trouble they might get into."
"But you said they were well-behaved, adorable, and understanding. Why can't they manage without you now?"
"Enough chatter. Hand me my coat." A sharp slap followed, though Su Cheng hadn't struck hard.
Yu Lan let out a pouty sigh, clutching her bottom with a look of petty resentment!
Su Cheng drew his flying sword once more. The instant he mounted it, he pulled Yu Lan into his embrace.
Truthfully, Yu Lan fulfilled many of Su Cheng's fantasies about women—like flying together on a sword. In front of her, he didn't need to put on the airs of a master; he could simply be himself.
"What are you laughing at, husband?"
"Nothing."
