Chapter 19: Gifting Tianshang Guqin To Hu Jiuli

Qin Tian advanced at full speed and arrived near the wooden house in less than a moment. The double-layered formation was still operating, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.

However, he had the token given by Wu Bingchan, allowing him to enter silently. Qin Tian took out the token, aimed it at the formation, and with a flash, the formation opened a gap. Qin Tian stepped inside.

He returned a bit late, now the moon was up among the willow branches, and he figured the two foxes, big and small, were already asleep.

After Qin Tian went in, he looked around. The place was shrouded in white mist, the towering spirit tree barely visible, and wisps of spiritual mist rising from the spirit lake beside it. When the wind blew, colorful petals fell on the surface, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland.

Just then, Qin Tian heard the sound of water splashing. With a lewd smirk, he arrived at the small lake in front of the wooden house and his eyes widened in astonishment.

In the lake, a beautiful woman with long pink hair was standing, holding a wooden bucket, scooping up water from the lake and pouring it slowly over her fair and rosy body, her legs slender and fair, partially visible through the water. Her waist was slender, her back smooth and delicate. With a slight downward gaze, one could glimpse at her enticing private parts. However, due to the cover of the white mist, some details were not entirely clear. But judging by the lack of presence of hair, it seemed like she was also a white tiger, similar to Wu Bingchan.

It was a scene of a perfect beauty bathing. Qin Tian found it hard to look away, even though he had seen it once before. The beauty lifted water with one hand and poured it down, like a river flowing through the mountains, weaving through her delicate body.

Perhaps sensing Qin Tian's gaze, filled with greed and desire, Hu Jiuli suddenly turned her head, her eyes full of killing intent, and the spiritual power surged in her hand, forming a formation!

But when she turned around and saw that it was Qin Tian, that killing intent instantly turned into panic. The formation she had conjured in her hand also dissipated, her face flushed with embarrassment, mixed with a hint of shyness.

"You bastard! You almost scared me to death! You come back without making a sound."

She hastily tried to cover her chest with her hands, but her ample bosom was too ample, even if she hugged herself, large swathes of snowy flesh were still exposed. It was impossible trying to cover both the top and bottom at the same time, leaving Hu Jiuli flustered and unsure where to cover.

"And you're still looking! I swear I'll gouge your eyes out if you keep staring," she said fiercely.

Qin Tian didn't bother hiding, stepping out from the side. However, his eyes continued to scan Hu Jiuli without pause. There were many legends about the Nine-Tailed Enchantress Fox, all describing her as breathtakingly beautiful, capable of bringing disaster to a nation. There were even rumors that in ancient times, because of a Nine-Tailed Enchantress Fox, an immensely powerful immortal empire with several emperors fell into ruin.

Initially, Qin Tian had dismissed these rumors as absurd. But now, seeing Hu Jiuli, he believed them. She was the most beautiful woman he had seen aside from his mother, with a graceful figure, enchanting face, and a mature aura that captivated him.

When Hu Jiuli noticed Qin Tian's gaze, filled with fascination and greed, her heart trembled. Perhaps she was too nervous, but this millennium-old spirit beast at the pinnacle of Spirit Condensing Realm unexpectedly slipped and fell into the water with a splash!

Watching this stunned Qin Tian, but he quickly snapped out of it. He stepped forward and helped her up. However, his hands were a little too eager. With a sweep, he embraced her slender waist and pulled her out of the water, one hand already impatiently pressing against her ample chest.

Cough cough~ 

Hu Jiuli emerged from the water, coughing lightly twice, very cutely. Seeing herself being embraced by Qin Tian, and still completely naked, her ears turned red with embarrassment.

"Let go of me, quickly!" She pushed against Qin Tian's chest with her jade-like hands, wanting to push away this scoundrel who had naked nefarious intentions towards her. But somehow, being held by Qin Tian, she felt powerless. No matter how hard she pushed, she couldn't move him. Every time Qin Tian's hand touched her chest with a bit of force, she felt as if she had no bones in her body, collapsing weakly against him.

Qin Tian tightened his grip, his hands encircling Hu Jiuli's slender waist, pressing her naked body gently against his own. He looked down at the beauty in his arms, took a deep breath of her enchanting fragrance and chuckled, "You looked at me before, now it's my turn."

Hu Jiuli turned her head away, avoiding Qin Tian's gaze. They were too close; their noses were almost touching.

"Let go. If Bingchan wakes up and sees us like this, what will happen?" Her voice was like a mosquito's, tinged with a hint of crying.

Qin Tian struggled to suppress the heat in his heart as he felt the mature beauty in his arms. Unable to resist any longer, he extended his senses, and, after a moment, a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Don't worry, Bingchan is sound asleep. She won't see us."

Hu Jiuli pushed against Qin Tian's chest again, but found she couldn't budge him. Realizing her efforts were futile, she withdrew her jade-like hand and rested it on Qin Tian's arm. Although she wanted to cover her ample chest, being held by Qin Tian made it impossible. Her two large bosoms were pressed against Qin Tian's chest, and she couldn't cover them.

"What if, what if Bingchan suddenly wakes up?" She lightly bit her red lips, her tone no longer as resistant and defiant as before, perhaps resigned to her fate.

Feeling Hu Jiuli's change in tone, Qin Tian smirked inwardly. He leaned his head against her ear, his warm breath tickling her earlobe, his voice magnetic. "Jiuli, deep down, you don't actually hate being held by me, do you?"

"How... how can you say that? I hate you!" she exclaimed, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, but quickly concealed. She buried her head even lower.

"You only mentioned being afraid of Bingchan finding out earlier, not that you disliked it yourself. Maybe you already have the answer in your heart, right?"

"Stop talking!" Without waiting for Qin Tian to finish, she suddenly interrupted, burying her head in Qin Tian's chest, her voice choked with emotion. "Why, why do you have to treat me like this? I'm a widow, an old woman. I'm Bingchan's mother. This will only trouble me."

Qin Tian didn't speak at first, he just held her tighter. "Whether it troubles you or not, I don't know, but Jiuli, I want you. Compared to Bingchan, I want you more."

With that, Qin Tian cradled her head in his hands, lifted it lightly, and then leaned down to kiss her. This caused the woman in his arms to tremble, but she didn't resist as before.

The two kissed for a long time, and Qin Tian no longer sought further advantage. He took off his robe and draped it over Hu Jiuli's delicate body. After all, they still had a long journey ahead, but he continued to hold her close.

"Hmph, wanting and caring are just excuses, you're just lusting after my body," she said, tugging at the robe draped over her, her foxy eyes narrowed, as if she can clearly see through this rogue's true intentions.

"Hehe, lusting is indeed true. With a beauty like you, it would be strange if I didn't," Qin Tian shamelessly replied.

At this moment, Hu Jiuli raised an eyebrow, shifted her body slightly, and couldn't help but give Qin Tian a disdainful look. Having lived for thousands of years, she naturally knew what was pressing against her underneath.

Qin Tian wasn't embarrassed either and chuckled, "Can't help it. With such a beauty in my arms, if it doesn't get hard, then there's something wrong with me."

"Oh, by the way, this time when I went out, I brought you a gift."

"A gift?"

Perhaps getting used to the feeling of being in Qin Tian's embrace, Hu Jiuli raised her head and looked at him, asking, "For me?"

"Yes, I specially retrieved it to give to you," Qin Tian smiled, then reluctantly let her go. With a flicker of spiritual light in his hand, an ancient and simple guqin appeared before them. The body of the guqin looked simple, but it exuded a profound charm.

Hu Jiuli's eyes brightened when she saw it. This guqin appeared ordinary at first glance, but there was a hidden divine light within, containing immense restrictive power. She recognized this guqin; it was the precious guqin from the Tianbao Pavilion, with a long history. She had tried it when she was younger, but couldn't make it produce any sound.

"I heard that the Tianbao Pavilion in the Canglan Imperial City has an extremely powerful guqin. When I saw it, I thought it was the only thing worthy of my Jiuli. So, I brought it back." He said it casually, but if anyone knew that he had given away a Great Emperor's treasure just to please a woman, they would surely stomp their feet and curse him as wasteful. If Gong Xiaoyue found out, she would probably spank him till his buttocks are swollen.

"You... bought it specifically for me?" She reached out and touched the body of the guqin, her expression full of disbelief. She knew well that this guqin wasn't something one could simply acquire through force. Rumor had it that one had to achieve the pinnacle of musical mastery to obtain it. But how high that pinnacle was, no one knew. He must have put in a lot of effort, right?

"Yeah, otherwise, why would I go out? Is it not good to stay here every day with you two beauties?" Qin Tian shrugged. "You should hurry and refine it. This guqin contains endless powers, not only suitable for the natural charm of the Nine-Tailed Enchantress Fox, but also very suitable for formations. So, in the future, when you encounter danger, you won't have to worry. Once the guqin sounds, myriad formations will envelop everything, and whoever is against you will perish."

Hu Jiuli looked at Qin Tian's sincere expression, her expression complicated. 

For how many years?

For how many years had she not felt this kind of love and care from someone? 

She pursed her lips and said softly, "This guqin is too precious. It's probably not from this mortal realm, and it must have an extraordinary origin. You should take it back. Besides, you were able to retrieve this guqin; it must be your destiny. Giving it to me would be a waste, as I wouldn't be able to play it."

At this moment, she was only draped in a simple robe, still damp from the water. What needed to be covered couldn't be concealed anyway, so she decided not to bother. There was a feeling of holding a pipa half-hidden behind a screen, coupled with that expression of wanting but not being able to have, making her irresistibly charming.

"This guqin is useless to me. It doesn't match my cultivation techniques. I might be able to play a few tunes on it, but it would be a waste. However, for you, it's different. You know my background, this guqin isn't something too precious in my family. But for you, it's different. I don't want you to face danger again."

Qin Tian looked at her sincerely and continued, "As for not being able to play it well, don't worry, I can teach you personally."

"But..." She hesitated.

"There's no 'but'. Do you want it or not? If you don't, I'll chop it up and use it for firewood." After saying this, he somehow produced a cleaver and pretended to strike.
