Before he could say no, Xie Lu pushed him down on the couch. His eyes fell on that thin waist, as if he could see the white skin underneath through the thin fabric. His Adam's apple couldn't help but roll slightly.

"Don't move. This time you will definitely be better than last time."

Shen Yimian gritted his teeth and kicked him. Just as he was about to stand up, he was held down by the shoulders and pushed back onto the bed.

"If you don't cooperate, I can't show you what I've learned."

Xie Lu half-hugged him, gently stroked the back of his neck, and with his other hand he slowly untied the loose belt around Shen Yimian's waist.

Shen Yimian pinched the hand that was clearly showing its intentions and said angrily, "Who wants to cooperate with you? I told you last time that I'm just helping you experience what it's like to be a human being. There won't be a next time!"

Hearing this, Xie Lu nodded gently, leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips, "But I didn't agree."

Shen Yimian: "Who cares whether you agree or not?"

This damn robot looks obedient but its actual actions are not obedient at all.

"Don't you want to give it a try?" Xie Lu half-knelt in front of the couch, his palm still holding the ribbon. He looked up at him, his eyes filled with a dark and unclear desire. "Sex is the bond of intimacy. You don't need to be so shy."

Shen Yimian pinched her forehead, held his face, and pushed him away. "How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? This kind of thing can only be done if you like each other."

"so"

Xie Lu still didn't understand, "My feelings towards you are obvious, and you don't hate me either, right?"

Shen Yimian looked at Xie Lu in embarrassment. He was a brainless human machine that had just experienced human affairs and had no idea how to control himself. He was not just talking to a cow.

"Before two humans can proceed to this stage, they must first express their feelings to each other, fall in love, hold hands and hug each other, and finally, only when both parties are willing can they do such a thing."

He stared into Xie Lu's eyes seriously and said, "Tell me the truth, do you like me? You don't even know what love is, do you?"

Xie Lu lowered his eyes silently and whispered, "Physiological liking is also within the scope of liking."

Shen Yimian snorted, "What do you mean by physical love? You're just greedy for my body. Let me tell you, in the human world, you're a scumbag. You only said you like me because you want to sleep with me."

Xie Lu vaguely felt that what Shen Yimian said was wrong, but he didn't know how to refute it.

After a moment of silence, Xie Lu put his hand on Shen Yimian's knee and said softly, "I just want to be close to you, is there anything wrong with that?"

At the beginning, it was indeed because of jealousy and resentment that he felt when he saw Shen Yimian and Zuo Yan together. At that time, he felt that his sanity had collapsed. He listed more than a dozen ways to force himself to get back on track, but all of them failed without exception.

Later, he felt very happy to be close to Shen Yimian, and very comfortable doing that kind of thing. Even if Shen Yimian hit him and scolded him, he was in a very good mood.

Isn't this liking?

Does Shen Yimian, as a human being, necessarily understand what love is?

Xie Lu didn't say it out loud. He remembered Shen Yimian saying that he was a recognized love guru when he was in school. He hoped that it was not a lie.

"You don't have to be this way to get close to me." Shen Yimian patiently taught him, "You can... become my sworn brother."

Xie Lu: "We can become sworn brothers even if we've slept together"

Shen Yimian said vaguely: "Who said it's impossible? If you haven't seen it, then you can say it doesn't exist."

Hearing this, Xie Lu pursed his lips and said calmly, "Then can we still have sex after we become sworn brothers?"

"...No." Shen Yimian almost wanted to pry open his head to see what he was thinking about every day. Why was it that ever since he started having sex, all he thought about was sex?

After hearing his words, Xie Lu decisively refused, "Forget it, I don't need a sworn brother."

"Then..." Shen Yimian hesitated for a moment, "You can pursue me, but if I don't agree, you can't do that to me."

Does this count as hanging him?

But even if two people want to be together, they should cultivate their relationship. No, when did he want to be with Xie Lu?

When Shen Yimian was thinking about taking back what he said, Xie Lu readily agreed, "Okay."

Shen Yimian was stunned and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will never agree?"

"It's okay." Xie Lu looked at him steadily and said with great confidence, "You will agree. I have confidence in myself."

“…Alright.”

Seeing that he agreed, Xie Lu asked again, "Do you really not want to try my new skills?"

Shen Yimian's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked helplessly, "What technique?"

When he asked this question, a hint of anticipation flashed across Xie Lu's eyes, exactly the same expression he had when he wanted to show Shen Yimian his instruction manual.

Xie Lu lowered his head, placed his palm on the soft fabric of Shen Yimian's knees, and kissed her almost devoutly, "It can only be understood, not expressed in words."

He also kept it a secret.

Shen Yimian glanced at him, and when he saw that he seemed to be about to look up, he quickly retracted his gaze and looked away, "Forget it if you don't want to talk about it. I'm not interested anyway."

Xie Lu slowly turned his face and whispered softly in his ear.

His fair face flushed almost visibly. Shen Yimian looked at him in disbelief and stammered, "Where did you learn that? Who taught you?"

"It can only be understood, not expressed in words." Xie Lu repeated, tapping his knee with his fingertips and whispering, "You will like it. Do you want to try it?"

Shen Yimian's face flushed red, and she grabbed his hand and took it away, "No...don't."

Xie Lu looked at him deeply and said softly, "I don't have the ability to judge your duplicity. If you really want to try it, just tell me directly. There's no need to feel ashamed. At this time, you can temporarily regard me as a service AI without awakened will."

This was all he could do until Shen Yimian agreed to his pursuit.

Meeting his frighteningly burning gaze, Shen Yimian swallowed hard. After a long pause, he whispered, "I really don't want..."

"Okay." Xie Lu was about to stand up when his wrist was grabbed.

Shen Yimian blushed and lowered her voice, "But if you really want to try..."

Xie Lu studied his expression and said softly, "Go on. I need you to give precise instructions."

"If you really want to try," Shen Yimian bit her lip and closed her eyes, "it's not impossible."

Xie Lu paused and asked again, "Double negation expresses affirmation, so that's OK."

Shen Yimian was annoyed by his probing and simply withdrew his hand. "No matter how many times you ask, I think I'd better forget it."

Xie Lu raised his eyebrows slightly and trapped him in front of him, "Don't be angry, I won't ask anymore."

His previous question was obviously intentional. Shen Yimian gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry up, before I regret it."

Xie Lu's lips curled up slightly, and he kissed the back of his hand, "As you wish."

For a long while, Shen Yimian supported himself on the bed with his hands, his legs shaking like three-day-old noodles.

Oh my god, it feels so good.

Who taught him?

Xie Lu slowly raised his head between his legs and wiped the liquid from the corner of his lips with his fingertips. Their eyes met, and Shen Yimian's heart trembled, as if being gently hit on the chest by a small hammer, making a bang sound. He hurriedly pushed Xie Lu's head away and put on his clothes in a hurry.

“Are you satisfied with the service?”

The voice was clearly very faint, but upon closer listening it was somewhat intriguing.

Shen Yimian froze, not daring to look him in the eye again, "Just make do."

"I can't accompany you to Yuanqing Peak tomorrow. I'll come find you in the evening."

Xie Lu looked at his shy expression and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his soft, flushed cheek.

Sure enough, it was still his favorite feel.

Shen Yimian was too embarrassed to look at him, so he stood up. Before he stepped out of the door, Xie Lu turned around and said,

"See you tomorrow."

——Tomorrow, he will learn more interesting skills.

The door creaked open and closed.

Even when the room was completely quiet, Shen Yimian could still hear the thumping of his heartbeat in his chest. He pounded the bed in shame and buried his face in the quilt.

Just see you tomorrow.

Why is his heart beating so fast?

It must be because the estrus period has not yet passed!

Damn spring, it’s not over yet!

*

After a bad night's sleep, Shen Yimian tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Finally, with dark circles under his eyes, he rushed to Yuanqing Peak early in the morning.

The master of Yuanqing Peak is Tianyue Zhenren, who has half a hundred disciples. In Yanshan, this is considered a very small number of disciples. There are disciples of all levels, such as Tiandi Xuanhuang. Si Wuxing said that Tianyue Zhenren does not look at talent but character when accepting disciples, so he will definitely be willing to accept him as a disciple.

Holding Si Wuxing's letter of introduction, he stood on the mountain steps and looked at the clouds in the distance. Yuanqing Peak was extremely huge, with endless mountains and waters. Palaces were endless, standing among the clouds and mists, like a fairyland.

He has such a large territory, but like Zuo Lingfeng, he has only a few disciples.

Shen Yimian wanted to find someone to help lead the way, but after waiting at the mountain gate for a long time, no one showed up, so he had no choice but to wander around on his own.

Before he reached the palace, he saw a figure in snow-white clothes in the distance and hurried forward to stop the other person.

"Shen Yimian"

The person in front of him was wearing a Heaven-grade Snow Crane Taoist robe. He had a refined and elegant appearance and a natural jade-like complexion. He seemed to be a gentle senior brother, which was extremely rare among the Heaven-grade disciples. However, Shen Yimian always fell asleep when he heard the elders lecturing in Qinghong Hall, so he couldn't remember who the person in front of him was for a moment.

It was surprising that Senior Brother recognized his face. Shen Yimian respectfully said, "Greetings, Senior Brother." He took out the letter of introduction written by Si Wuxing from his pocket and handed it to Senior Brother. "Please take me to see Master Tianyue. My master has written a letter of introduction, asking me to transfer to Yuanqing Peak."

The other party took the letter, read it carefully, and asked in a confused voice, "Why would Junior Brother want to come to Yuanqing Peak for no reason?"

Shen Yimian had already prepared his words and said with a smile, "My master is busy with cultivation, and I am not very talented. Seeing that I want to make progress, my master asked me to come to Tianyue Zhenren to study."

Hearing this, the elder brother's eyes lit up with a smile, and he carefully put the envelope away. "I see, that's how it is. Junior brother, come with me."

The two walked on the mountain steps one after the other. Shen Yimian was still trying hard to recall the other's name, but his mind was blank and he had no impression of this senior brother at all.

"Junior brother, please don't underestimate yourself. I think you didn't pursue the Dao and ascend to heaven before, so your cultivation has been stagnant." The senior brother's voice was soft, and it made me feel inexplicably relieved. "I still remember that when you first arrived at Qinghong Palace, you were only in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Now, in just a few days, you have already reached the Golden Core Stage. Doesn't this prove that you are extremely talented?"

Shen Yimian looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect that someone would notice her.

He thought he was a nobody in Qinghong Palace.

"I'm so ashamed that senior brother would have an impression of someone like me," he asked curiously.

The senior brother lowered his eyes and chuckled, "Of course I remember. You and the newbie Xie Lu completed a Heavenly Rank mission. Many people know about this."

It turned out to be because of Xie Lu.

Shen Yimian's curiosity suddenly disappeared. He thought that he had some unconscious charm that left an impression on others.

"It's because of Xie Lu..." Shen Yimian scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Actually, he did all the tasks. I didn't help much."

Hearing his words, the senior brother suddenly paused and turned to look at him, "It's not because of Xie Lu."

Shen Yimian was stunned for a moment, then heard the other party say in a gentle voice, "Because you look different from other disciples, that's why I was impressed by you. In Qinghong Hall, everyone is there only for missions, and you are the only one who seriously wants to listen to the elders' lessons."

Shen Yimian remembered that he did want to be the first to fly at that time, but in fact he fell asleep after listening for a while.

"I...I actually fell asleep after hearing a few words." He said honestly.

The senior brother chuckled, "Don't worry. The elders' lectures are boring to begin with. Even I often can't listen. What's more, your foundation is weak, so the elders' lectures are not applicable to you."

Shen Yimian finally understood why he felt sleepy whenever he attended class. If he couldn't understand a single word, wouldn't he just feel sleepy?

"If you truly become my master's disciple, feel free to come to me if you have any questions during your cultivation. Of course, you can also come to me for any other matters you may have on a daily basis." The elder brother raised his hand and pointed to a bedroom, saying patiently, "That's the disciple bedroom. I also live there, in the innermost south wing."

After a pause, he looked at Shen Yimian, as if he had realized something, and said softly, "My name is Su Yunli, and I am the second disciple under the master."

His reminder was just right. Shen Yimian breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more favorable towards this senior brother. "Thank you, Senior Brother Su."

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of the cave where Master Tianyue was practicing.

Su Yunli led the way here and knocked on the door for Shen Yimian. "Junior brother, I still have a mission to complete, so I can't stay for long."

Shen Yimian hurriedly said, "Brother, don't worry about me, go quickly."

The other person nodded, as if he was about to leave, but turned back to look at him with some concern, "Junior brother, if you feel uncomfortable since you're here for the first time, you can come to me tonight and I'll take you around Yuanqing Peak."

Shen Yimian looked at him gratefully, "That's great, see you tonight!"

Seeing that he agreed, Su Yunli's breathing gradually calmed down, as if relieved, and he quickly raised a warm smile, "Okay, see you tonight."

After Su Yunli left, Shen Yimian looked at his back and inexplicably felt as if she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it.

Forget it, his memory is bad to begin with, so he should not trouble himself.
