Venerable Dongting was in the spotlight.
The kiss that made him famous stirred up a sensation far and wide, and his rumored romance with Yao Qin became the talk of the town.
Originally, he had spent a great deal of effort trying to propose to Ao Zhan, intending to use the guise of a marriage proposal to gain entry into her life. It was no surprise that Ao Zhan refused him.
Thus, he had prepared various romantic strategies, planning to use Yao Qin as a breakthrough. Once he captured her heart, he would create an opportunity for infighting and oust Ao Zhan to take her place.
However, ever since the tale of his romance with Yao Qin spread, every time he saw her, it felt as if a little kitten was scratching at his heart, leaving him restless.
As for Yao Qin, she remained oblivious to Venerable Dongting's constant attention, just as Ao Zhan had been indifferent towards her.
Recently, the North Sea Dragon King had been in a bad mood and paid little attention to Yao Qin. She watched for opportunities daily, hoping to win his favor.
Although it was said that explanations were merely disguises and disguises were just stories, Yao Qin refused to play that game. If she did not act, the story between her and Ao Zhan would turn into an accident.
One day, she seized the chance while he was lost in thought and quietly approached him. She stealthily took the Jade Spittoon from his left hand and transformed it into a crystal ball, which she concealed in his palm.
Ao Zhan remained unaware and took her with him to the heavenly realm, traveling to the East Sea and returning to Dragon Palace. Amidst curious gazes, he ate, drank tea, played music, and finally returned to his room to prepare for sleep.
He collapsed onto the bed and placed the object from his hand beside his pillow. Lost in thought for a moment, he closed his eyes.
But soon after, he sensed something was off and opened his eyes again. His gaze fell upon the crystal ball that was so close at hand. He relaxed and closed his eyes once more, murmuring, "Crystal ball..."
Wait a minute, why is it a crystal ball?
He suddenly opened his eyes again, only to see Yao Qin transformed into human form.
Yao Qin gently rested her head on his outstretched arm, smiling as she winked at him.
Ao Zhan had just half-raised himself to sit up when Yao Qin pressed down on his arm, rendering him unable to move.
“Don’t be nervous, I won’t do anything to you,” Yao Qin said with a smile, though she swallowed the rest of her sentence, “But you can do something to me.”
“How did you get in here?” he asked, completely unaware and filled with confusion.
Yao Qin cleared her throat and said, “Let’s not worry about that for now. I wanted to clarify a misunderstanding with you. Well, actually, that day… it was like this… and like that… so I did it on purpose.”
Ao Zhan couldn’t help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth. “You didn’t do it on purpose; you clearly meant it maliciously.” At that time, he had been overwhelmed and confused, but upon reflection, he realized she had been deceiving him; otherwise, how could one wake up just from a kiss? Yet hearing her admit it made him feel quite pleased.
“Yes, yes, I was malicious. Please forgive me!” Yao Qin said playfully, her face beaming with smiles.
Ao Zhan gazed at her in silence. In truth, he didn’t really blame her; he had been contemplating whether or not to marry her off these past few days.
While he pondered life’s questions, others were busy trying to decipher his thoughts.
Yao Qin snuggled closer to him. “Let’s make up, hehe!”
Ao Zhan instantly stiffened at her proximity and nodded slightly. “Are you done? You can leave now, and please return the Jade Spittoon while you’re at it.”
Yao Qin twitched her lips and said helplessly, "Aren't you going to give it a name?"
"Jade Spittoon sounds good," Ao Zhan replied seriously.
"My bed is taken by Jade Spittoon, so I’ll be sleeping here tonight," Yao Qin said playfully.
"… No way," Ao Zhan firmly refused.
"After sleeping together for a thousand years, you only just now decide to say no," Yao Qin retorted confidently.
… The crux of the matter isn’t here, okay? Back then, she was just a ball, Ao Zhan thought silently.
Yao Qin showed no intention of leaving; instead, she tightened her grip on his arm. Ao Zhan's heart softened, but he stubbornly pulled his arm back, turning away from her and refusing to look.
"This is the last time," he said as he flicked his fingers, plunging the room into darkness.
After a long while.
The Carp Maid, living next door, got up to find some tea due to thirst but heard a series of "ping pong" sounds coming from the Dragon King's room.
"What are you doing not sleeping and messing with my clothes?"
"Don't put your hands inside my clothes."
"My pants, my pants... They fell to the ground... My leg hit the stone table... My wine cup shattered..."
Yao Qin gasped as she climbed onto Ao Zhan, struggling to pin him down with all her might.
She leaned down, showering his face and body with kisses, until his breathing quickened and his eyes became dazed... This scene felt so much like a forceful... Hmm, unable to resist, he began to enjoy it?
Seeing him staring at her intently, Yao Qin finally blushed. She felt compelled to say something, and a cliché line from a romance drama slipped out: "Do you want it? Beg me!"
In the next moment, with the North Sea Dragon King's reversal of fortune and a flick of his tail, there was a loud crash as the stone table toppled over.
Like dry kindling igniting into flames, everything erupted.
Various sounds suddenly filled the air, only to fall silent moments later.
"It seems... a bit fast..."
"Next time will be better; I've learned now."
The Carp Maid let out a soft whimper before plunging back into the deep well.
Goodbye to her peculiar dragon king who had guarded her purity for thousands of years; goodbye to her shattered dream of becoming a dragon mother.
