Chapter 204: Awkwardness

…

“God… Godmother?” Lei Qing called out tremblingly, hurriedly trying to find clothes to cover his body. But in his panic, he discovered that his clothes had all been turned into strips of willow under Dongfang Si’s whipping; even if he picked them up, they couldn’t be worn.

He had no choice but to hurriedly open his Storage Space, take out a set of spare clothes, and put them on. Only then did he blush and cup his hands to Zhu Xiyu, saying, “Godmother, just now Qing’er was truly… truly rash.” His panic was half real; in that instant when he was almost drowned by lust, he had indeed only focused on the pleasure and killing Dongfang Si, forgetting Zhu Xiyu’s existence. Consequently, all sorts of obscene words had poured out endlessly without any restraint. The other half was feigned; this was to take care of his godmother’s emotions.

Sure enough, seeing Lei Qing so flustered and ashamed, Zhu Xiyu’s various awkward feelings were alleviated quite a bit, and she felt somewhat relieved in her heart. After all, Qing’er did this to save his life, and he was forced to do so to save everyone.

If Qing’er hadn’t sacrificed himself like this, today’s events would likely have become terribly unmanageable. However, when Zhu Xiyu thought back to just now when her lust was intense, the object of her closed-eye fantasies was actually Qing’er, and she had reached a peak she had never experienced before because of it. This made her feel so ashamed in her heart that she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. Heavens, Zhu Xiyu, oh Zhu Xiyu. You used to think you were… you really are, really shameless…

Seeing Zhu Xiyu look so utterly ashamed, her jade-like face completely flushed, she appeared so charming and moving, like a succulent, ripe peach that looked delicious and tempting. The fire of desire in Lei Qing’s heart, which had just been extinguished, was slowly ignited again. To be honest, the influence of the Desire Stimulating Pill on Lei Qing had still not faded away. Earlier, he had only used the great terror between life and death to forcefully suppress it, but he had not truly vented it.

However, as soon as that fire was lit, Lei Qing bit his tongue hard and cursed himself in his heart, Lei Qing, oh Lei Qing, you are a human, not a beast or an animal. How could you harbor evil thoughts toward your godmother? Even though she is a godmother and has no blood relation, ethically speaking, a godmother is also a mother.

The godmother and godson both felt deeply ashamed of their own actions. Not daring to look at each other, after a moment of silence, Lei Qing had to break the deadlock first. He carefully took two steps forward, preparing to support his godmother and help her remove some of the seals remaining in her body.

However, unexpectedly, Lei Qing’s careful movements and outstretched hands, in Zhu Xiyu’s eyes, looked like a wretched preparation to violate her. This immediately made her delicate body tremble and shudder. In her heart, she was both startled and panicked; Qing’er, what is Qing’er trying to do? Could it be, could it be that his lust is hard to quell, and he wasn’t satisfied on Dongfang Si… on Dongfang Si’s body? Is he preparing, preparing to come to me…

Heavens, Qing’er, this, this must absolutely not happen. I, I am your mother. Although she is a godmother, in Zhu Xiyu’s heart, she had gradually come to regard Lei Qing as her own true son.

This was a massive taboo. Even if Zhu Xiyu was burning with desire again, she would absolutely not let such a thing happen; she would rather die than agree.

Immediately, she struggled to wrap her arms around her chest and scolded with a mix of shock and anger, “Qing… Qing’er, we… we can’t.” However, under the powerful influence of the Desire Stimulating Pill, her originally holy and beautiful face was filled with spring-like charm, looking pitiable. That panicked expression also tempted Lei Qing to have an impulse to commit a crime.

Such actions and expressions made Lei Qing secretly swallow his saliva while angrily scolding himself for being a jerk. He felt somewhat between laughter and tears, thinking to himself, Godmother, oh Godmother, if you don’t want to, then don’t; I wouldn’t dare to even if you gave yourself to me. But could you please not strike such an alluring pose? Your godson’s endurance is far from saint-level.

However, as a son, even if he was misunderstood, he could only swallow his anger. Forcefully suppressing his beastly impulse, he laughed dryly and said, “Godmother, you… you misunderstood. I wanted to help you up and remove the Fighting Qi seal Dongfang Si left in your body. Rest assured, even if your child is not a good person, Heaven is my witness, I would absolutely never do anything that would anger both gods and men to my godmother.” Seeing her so afraid of him, Lei Qing thought it was because of the unimaginable obscenity and rich human experience he had displayed earlier with Dongfang Si. He had scared Zhu Xiyu, making her think he was some sort of infamous rapist who frequented brothels.

Hearing these words, although Zhu Xiyu felt a weight lifted from her heart, she also felt incredibly ashamed at the same time. Blushing, she secretly scolded herself, Zhu Xiyu, oh Zhu Xiyu, you usually pride yourself on knowing propriety and shame, yet… what is filling your mind right now? Even Qing’er understands these ethical matters, yet you, how can you be so shameless?

Overcome with guilt, she slowly nodded and said, “Qing’er, it… it was Godmother who misunderstood you. You… you help me up.” Relying on some remaining rationality, she suppressed the volcano-like lust in front of her.

Lei Qing straightened his expression to avoid looking wretched and frightening Zhu Xiyu. He walked up to her, gently took her arm, and held her shoulder to help her up.

Mmm…

Smelling the masculine and healthy scent of the young man on Lei Qing, coupled with being held in his strong arms, Zhu Xiyu finally couldn’t help but let out a soft moan. It felt comfortable and pleasurable, and her soft delicate body became even hotter.

Lei Qing also smelled her faint body fragrance and a trace of a strange, alluring scent, and heard her soul-stirring soft moan. He was instantly struck as if by lightning; his mouth went dry, his blood surged, and he stared somewhat blankly at her tender, dripping face and body, which looked as if water would seep out if pinched. He swallowed with a gulp.

Zhu Xiyu secretly thought it was bad in her heart, feeling incredibly ashamed; how could she make such a moan in front of Qing’er? However, under the potent effect of the Desire Stimulating Pill, the lust she couldn’t suppress surged like a tide, nearly overwhelming her.

She painfully held onto her remaining rationality, but between her tightly clamped legs, that wonderful and irresistible feeling hit her in waves. Smelling the even stronger masculine scent on Lei Qing after he sweated, and feeling his strong and powerful arm, it was like a catalyst, throwing her into a state where she could hardly control herself.

A shred of rationality told her she couldn’t be like this. But the instinct controlling her body and consciousness at this moment made her unable to resist slightly rubbing her clamped legs together.

Driven by the struggle between her intense shame and instinct, in just a few breaths, her delicate body began to tremble violently again in Lei Qing’s arms.

Even though she was blushing red all over and using all her strength to control herself, Lei Qing, who was holding her like this, could easily hear a string of suppressed, sob-like moans from deep in her throat.

Lei Qing felt as if a Heavenly Thunder had struck his head fiercely. In his consciousness, Zhu Xiyu held a sacred and inviolable sense of holiness. But his years of experience told him what exactly had happened to his godmother, Zhu Xiyu, in that instant in his arms.

If possible, he would rather believe that he was hallucinating under the effect of the Desire Stimulating Pill. But on his godmother’s delicate face, which looked as if it would break with a breath, the spring tide that had reached its peak, her trembling eyelids and lashes, and that smell that was both familiar and strange to him made him reveal a look of disbelief amidst his shock.

The most ashamed of all was Zhu Xiyu; she never dreamed in her wildest imagination that she would lose control and do such a thing with Lei Qing. Originally, with a lucky mindset, she thought Lei Qing didn’t understand and wouldn’t notice. But when she gathered all her courage to open her eyes a tiny crack and peeked at Lei Qing’s horrified expression, and felt his arm go stiff…

Zhu Xiyu, filled with shame and indignation, could only think of one word: death. She had never been so humiliated in her life, especially since… that was her son.

She slowly opened her incredibly moving eyes, and a grey color of death gradually appeared in them. The heat of her delicate body gradually turned cold, and she trembled ceaselessly.

Sensing Zhu Xiyu’s abnormal state, Lei Qing immediately woke up with a start. Seeing her face turn incredibly pale, looking as if she wanted to die, he instantly guessed her thoughts.

A woman, when ashamed to the extreme, especially a woman like Little Guanyin, might think of seeking death if she feels the humiliation is beyond what she can endure.

In his desperation, the lust on Lei Qing’s body instantly faded away completely. He leaned close to her ear and whispered comfortingly, “Godmother, don’t be afraid, it’s okay. This isn’t your fault; it’s all because of that bitch Dongfang Si. We aren’t saints; it’s very normal to be unable to resist the effects of the Desire Stimulating Pill.”

Zhu Xiyu’s face was filled with extreme shame and indignation as she looked at Lei Qing while struggling; her eyes were full of guilt and apology.

“Humans are not grass or trees; who can be without emotion?” Lei Qing whispered to comfort her. “Godmother, your child’s respect for you comes from the bottom of my heart. I will absolutely not think any less of you because of this; on the contrary, I will only respect you more.”

Lei Qing’s sincere words gradually calmed Zhu Xiyu down. She didn’t dare to meet Lei Qing’s gaze, but her cheeks regained a trace of redness. She whispered in a trembling voice, “Qing… Qing’er, you… is what you say true? You… you won’t blame… blame me? Blame me for being embarrassing? And… you won’t look down on me?”

“How could I possibly blame you or look down on you? If I’m to blame anyone, I’ll only blame that bitch Dongfang Si for causing Godmother such embarrassment. I’ll go kill her so she doesn’t plague the world anymore,” Lei Qing said in an indignant, low voice, his killing intent fully revealed. Obviously, he wanted to change the subject so Zhu Xiyu wouldn’t overthink things and develop suicidal thoughts.
