Su Qingning lay uneasily in Lin Xiao's arms, not daring to move an inch.

She was truly afraid of Lin Xiao kissing her. To be honest, though, she didn't dislike it. On the contrary, she had recently come to enjoy the feeling of him kissing her with abandon. The only reason she was afraid was because her reactions had been incredibly intense the last few times he'd kissed her.

Unfortunately, they couldn't take things to the next step. For Su Qingning, this was its own form of torment. Moreover, every time Lin Xiao finished kissing her, she would be drenched and incredibly uncomfortable.

So now, she didn't dare let him kiss her, much less respond to him. She really wouldn't dare, at least not until her period was over.

But her worries were clearly unfounded. Lin Xiao was just holding her quietly, not trying to kiss her.

He must have felt her body tense up, because he whispered into her ear, "Silly girl, don't worry. I won't kiss you. I'll wait until you're comfortable with it."

His words were like magic. Su Qingning's tense body slowly relaxed. Finally feeling safe, she turned to face him.

Their eyes met. Only a few centimeters separated them, and they could both clearly feel the warmth of each other's breath.

After staring at her for a moment, Lin Xiao laughed. "Honey, maybe you should turn back around."

"Why?" Su Qingning asked, puzzled.

"Because when I see your lips, I just want to kiss you!"

PFFT.

Su Qingning was amused by his words and started giggling in his arms.

She obviously didn't mean anything by it, but Lin Xiao was the one who suffered.

Feeling her hot, alluring body squirming in his embrace made Lin Xiao's heart leap into his throat. He quickly arched his back, trying his best to put some distance between them.

Fortunately, she stopped laughing after a moment. A radiant smile on her face, she stared at Lin Xiao before suddenly leaning in and giving him a gentle peck on the lips.

BOOM!

Lin Xiao felt like he was about to explode.

He subconsciously pulled her even tighter and tried to respond, but Su Qingning deftly dodged away.

Then she said sweetly, "Honey, just endure it a little longer, okay? Once my 'visitor' leaves, I'll let you kiss me however you want!"

Her words sent Lin Xiao's heart racing. But since she'd put it that way, he could only nod with great difficulty.

Su Qingning hugged Lin Xiao tightly. "Honey, you're the best!"

Lin Xiao's head swam at her praise. He couldn't resist giving her bottom a light slap and laughed. "Alright, let's get some sleep."

Su Qingning obediently agreed. After such a long day, she was clearly exhausted. It didn't take long for her to drift off to dreamland, curled up in his arms.

Listening to her steady breathing and feeling her soft body against his, Lin Xiao wasn't sleepy in the least. He still had to go and give Shen Jingzhe a follow-up treatment.

Once she was sound asleep, Lin Xiao carefully moved her aside and slipped out of bed.

When he reached Shen Jingzhe's door, he didn't go in right away. Instead, he knocked first.

"Come in!" Shen Jingzhe's cold voice called from inside.

Only then did Lin Xiao push the door open and step into the room.

The room was pitch-black, but that didn't bother Lin Xiao. After all, even in darkness so complete he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face, he could still see perfectly.

Lin Xiao deliberately asked, "Shen Jingzhe, can I turn on the light?"

He didn't know if she genuinely wanted him to continue her treatment or if this was a test.

"Why would you need the light?" Shen Jingzhe asked coldly.

"What do you mean, 'why'? It's pitch-black in here; I can't see a thing. Without light, I'm as good as blind. What if I accidentally touch you?"

"Hmph. You don't need the light. Just walk in slowly. You should be quite familiar with my room by now, anyway."

"Fine, you're the boss. I'll do as you say," Lin Xiao said, feigning annoyance. As he spoke, he began to feel his way forward into the room.

He had only taken a few steps when he saw something on the floor blocking his path. Looking closer, he saw it was a shoebox.

Why on earth would a shoebox be on the floor? Shen Jingzhe was meticulous about cleanliness and order. She would never just leave a shoebox lying around. In other words, she had put it there on purpose.

Is she trying to test if I can see in the dark?

Yes, Lin Xiao's guess was correct. Shen Jingzhe had deliberately placed the shoebox in his path to test whether he could truly see or not.

She wasn't an overly suspicious person, but back in the cave, Lin Xiao had seemed to see everything despite the absolute darkness. That was when she had first begun to suspect his vision was unaffected by the dark.

Later, Shen Jingzhe had specifically asked her master if it was possible for someone to see in total darkness. Her master had told her that of course it was; the world was full of people with strange and powerful abilities. Vision that was unaffected by darkness wasn't particularly rare or bizarre. Perhaps Lin Xiao was one of them.

Shen Jingzhe had been alarmed. She quickly asked her master how she knew Lin Xiao could see in the dark.

Her master explained that Lin Xiao was the Dragon Lord. He had eaten a dragon, so it wouldn't be surprising at all if he could see in the dark.

From that moment on, Shen Jingzhe had suspected that Lin Xiao could see in the dark. To confirm this suspicion, she had specifically asked him to continue her treatment. Her goal was to test him and find out if he really could see.

After all, it was a matter of her modesty. During her previous treatments with Lin Xiao, she had been completely naked. If that bastard could really see in the dark, it meant he had seen her entire body.

Lin Xiao stared at the shoebox for less than a second before deliberately tripping over it.

"Damn it! Something tripped me!" he cursed.

Lin Xiao didn't know for sure if Shen Jingzhe was testing him, but he suspected she might be. So, he faked the fall. Even if it wasn't a test, he didn't lose anything by doing it.

Hearing the thud of Lin Xiao falling, followed by his cursing, Shen Jingzhe froze.

Could I have been wrong? Can he really not see in the dark?

At this thought, Shen Jingzhe breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness he couldn't see. If he could, she wouldn't have the face to go on living.

Lin Xiao continued his act. Muttering curses, he got back to his feet and made his way to Shen Jingzhe's bed. He found her lying on it, fully dressed.

Lin Xiao blurted out, "Huh? Why aren't you undressed today?"
