Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 838 – Passing the Test


Chapter 838 – Passing the Test

Qin Yu had no idea that in a ship far below the sea, there were two women praying for him to be blessed. But he knew that he wouldn’t be able to do anything for the moment, because Dorelis had snuck into his room at night.

And most importantly, this woman had dressed for warm weather. It was appropriate to say she was in rags, or even ragged strips of cloth.

Dorelis fixed her eyes on Qin Yu and said, “You have already ruined my plans twice. Whatever. How do you plan on compensating me?”

She licked her lips. “If you have no idea, I can give you a suggestion. What do you think about repaying your debt with your body?”

Qin Yu rubbed his temples. “What craziness are you blabbering about again? Hurry up and go to sleep!”

Dorelis coldly sneered. “Do you not know that in these circumstances, saying such words to a woman is the highest form of rudeness!”

Qin Yu was expressionless. “You barged into my room like this and you want to talk about rudeness?”

Dorelis pulled over a chair, turned it around, and sat down on it, her legs spread wide. She had a cold and compelling expression as she said, “I’ve already given you a suggestion. If you aren’t willing, then come up with something else. I plan on accepting this favor today!”

Her cold words combined with her expressionless face truly exerted pressure. But, was it suitable for her to say such things when wearing such a thin dress right now?

Qin Yu averted his eyes to the side, because he was worried that if he looked over he would see everything beneath Dorelis’ skirt…this woman’s sitting posture was too overbearing. He had no choice but to avoid it.

“Dorelis…” Qin Yu said, his expression becoming much more congenial. “First, put on some clothes. If you have an issue then we can slowly discuss it.”

Dorelis blinked her eyes, a bit surprised. She looked at Qin Yu with a suspicious stare, “You are really going to discuss things with me?”

Qin Yu nodded, “I will.”

“Then tell me, do you agree to compensate me with your body?”

Qin Yu forced a smile. “Dorelis, you are beautiful to begin with, and now that you are borrowing this body, you are still seductive and charming. As for me, I am just a normal man…it’s just that what you are asking today is too sudden. Can you give me an explanation?”

Dorelis lifted an eyebrow. “Turn around and I’ll tell you.”

Qin Yu was silent for a moment and then he slowly turned around. He was already trying very hard to keep his eyes steady and unmoving, but he still saw something that shouldn’t be seen.

This woman…this woman…she was actually playing an idiot!

Qin Yu felt his mind buzz and fall into chaos. Just what was Dorelis thinking right now? Even if she was feeling extremely sexually starved or something, her actions shouldn’t go to such an extreme, right?

Dorelis glanced at Qin Yu’s expression and charmingly smiled. “Do you like what you see? Should I come over so you can get a better look?”

Qin Yu coughed, “You still haven’t explained things to me.”

Dorelis said, “It’s simple. When you released the Giant Spirit Clan today, you were so full of masculinity and daring that you captured the passion in my heart and I am no longer able to suppress the desire to eat you up. Does that answer satisfy you?”

Qin Yu almost laughed in anger. Satisfy? Satisfy your face. If I believed your nonsense, I really would be an idiot. But this time he couldn’t have a showdown with her because he suddenly felt fluctuations from the Ancient’s consciousness.

It was extremely well-hidden. If he hadn’t fused with the jade pendant embryo egg, allowing him to clearly feel everything occurring in his body, he wouldn’t have been aware of it.

Qin Yu immediately understood what was happening. The Ancient’s goal was to test whether or not Qin Yu was under his control.

Thinking about it, it should be because his aura changed after he fused together with the jade pendant embryo egg. Thus, the Ancient had no choice but to be cautious.

So Qin Yu had to act as if he had no idea that the Ancient’s consciousness had arrived. He even had to coordinate with him and give him the chance to confirm things – for instance, what if they were suddenly interrupted as the relations between a man and woman started to heat up?

I can even endure this kind of situation. If you still don’t believe me, then consider yourself sufficiently fierce!

Qin Yu remained silent as his thoughts raced, but Dorelis had already started to make her move. Although her intuition told her that Qin Yu was acting a bit strange today, how could she miss out on such an excellent opportunity?

It wasn’t just the Ancient who had sensed the strange and unclear changes occurring to Qin Yu’s body after he fused with the jade pendant embryo egg; Dorelis also felt it. Moreover, because she followed by his side, these feelings were even clearer.

She suddenly lost the absolute assurance she had in the backdoor she left in Qin Yu’s body. She had to carry out reinforcement.

The method of reinforcement was simple. As long as Qin Yu couldn’t contain himself and bonded with this body that she controlled, then later on this boy wouldn’t be able to overturn the heavens no matter how much he struggled. He could only honestly and obediently be a puppet in her hands.

She hurriedly approached, then placed her hands on him and climbed up. Qin Yu immediately felt immense waves of pressure shrouding him.

This was so…it was absolutely real; it must feel amazing in his hand…

Mm, hold on. Stand firm. Don’t think about it; absolutely do not think about it!

Dorelis leaned over and whispered into his ear. “Do you want to touch me? I really don’t mind.”

Qin Yu could sense the fluctuations of the Ancient’s consciousness turn dense and heavy. It was clear that he was secretly observing him at this moment.

Clenching his teeth, Qin Yu embraced Dorelis’ waist. Her body was as soft and pliable as he imagined.

With a sound, all of Dorelis’ bones seemed to be drawn out from her body. She languidly slumped against Qin Yu.

Her breathing became sharp and deep. Her arms tugged at Qin Yu’s neck with strength, as if she wanted to push herself into his body.

At the same time, the breath that Dorelis emitted suddenly gained a hint of sweetness. It was like a mellow and fragrant wine, causing one’s ears to blush red and their heartbeat to quicken, invoking the flames in their heart.

Qin Yu secretly grinned. He really hadn’t seen it. This woman actually possessed such an incredible ability to seduce a person’s heart and mind.

If it were anyone else in his place or if his will was a little less firm, then even though he had a plan in place, perhaps his fake acting would have become reality.

Damn it. Was the Ancient not planning to interfere at all? Did the Ancient really have some hobby of watching a live performance of ‘The Crown Prince and the Concubine’? If this was the case, then there was nothing Qin Yu could do. With the performance having come this far, he was nearly at his limit. To continuously keep his sanity in this situation…it was absolutely impossible!

The arms around his neck slowly made their way down. Qin Yu stiffened a little. But just as he was about to end the act, a wave of power suddenly erupted from within him and sent Dorelis tumbling away.

Dorelis had been flushed red and mesmerized just moments before, but in the blink of an eye she regained her senses. Her eyes locked onto Qin Yu. Or to be more exact, she was looking through his body at the distant Ancient.

Several breaths of time later, she lifted a hand and yawned. She lazily said, “How disappointing…Qin Yu, it seems that this is as far as we can go today. We’ll try it some more if we have another chance in the future.”

She threw him a wink and gracefully walked away.

Qin Yu put on an awkward expression. But, he still revealed the smallest hint of anger in the depths of his eyes. This could be called a perfect performance in mood.

The Ancient’s voice resounded in his mind. “I know that with your current age, you still haven’t let go of the affairs of men and women. But, you cannot touch that Dorelis woman no matter what. Otherwise there will be nothing awaiting you but endless misfortune. Do you understand?”

The awkwardness in Qin Yu’s expression became even heavier. He lowered his head and cupped his hands together. “Yes, I will remember.” There was a bit of unwillingness on his face, but it was exactly because of this that he appeared normal.

After all, when facing such an incomparably beautiful woman like Dorelis, especially when she clearly wanted to have her way with him, any normal man would be angry and unwilling after they were stopped. And Qin Yu had been just a little bit away from being successful.

The Ancient lightly said, “Later, you will understand that this is for your own good.” He continued to say, “I have already finished the preparations. Do not delay any further and return to Sky Declaring Pavilion!”

Shua –

The Ancient’s consciousness vanished.

As for what Qin Yu experienced at the Beast Trainer Alliance, he didn’t ask at all.

Perhaps this was because the Ancient believed that everything was within his control. Or maybe he had a feeling that no matter what he asked, he wouldn’t receive any harvests.

Qin Yu closed his eyes, sensing his surroundings. After determining that he was truly alone, he let out a long breath of relief. There was a dignified expression on his face.

It was only at this moment, after truly facing the world, that he felt the great strength of the Ancient. No wonder he dared to fake his death and even discard his mortal body to scheme against the Dao Monarch, even evading the catastrophe of his race. It was because he had the ability to do it.

Qin Yu rejoiced. If it weren’t for all these lucky chances and coincidences combining together and allowing him to fuse with the jade pendant embryo egg, he feared that even if the Ancient’s heart was under his control, he wouldn’t be able to escape disaster in the end.

And Dorelis…

This woman had likely been underestimating the Ancient’s true strength all this time. There was no chance for her to compete with him for the Dao Monarch’s Great Dao!

But soon, Qin Yu discovered that he also underestimated Dorelis.

There was a knock on his door. A neatly dressed Dorelis stood outside. When she met Qin Yu’s gaze, she directly asked, “Has the Ancient’s consciousness left?”

Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows together.

Dorelis lightly said, “Don’t worry. I’m not using some method to monitor you. It’s just that your response to me wasn’t normal.”

Qin Yu was silent for a brief moment. “You realized it at the start?”

Dorelis said, “It wasn’t at the start, but I’m not as stupid as you think I am.” She looked him over, “With your current state, you should have passed the test. Do you want to celebrate with me? For instance, continuing what we were doing.”

She batted her eyes, “I don’t mind at all. I’m even looking forward to it.”

Qin Yu bitterly smiled. “Since you know the inside story, don’t try and stir up trouble.”

Dorelis looked at him and suddenly said, “Qin Yu, you are definitely hiding something.”

Qin Yu: …

“With your cautious personality, if you weren’t absolutely sure that our conversation wouldn’t be discovered, how could you dare to talk with me here? You must remember that I warned you before that the Ancient can sense anything happening around you.”

Qin Yu forced a smile. Indeed, underestimating this woman was stupid on his part. Dorelis might have underestimated the Ancient’s strength, but she wasn’t a fool either.

Moreover, for him to make such a great mistake and not realize Dorelis’ real goal, it was likely because he was left flustered by what happened just now.

As expected, when it came to the creature known as man, no matter how calm his heart was or how clear his thoughts were, his intelligence would drop drastically in the face of beautiful women. The impulses they felt might even affect their will and thinking for a short time.

This was a lesson he needed to remember!

Dorelis smiled. “Qin Yu, are you engaging in some kind of introspection right now? Let me tell you, don’t bother wasting your time. When it comes to men, they will never be able to guard against a woman’s tricks. Alright. Since you have no intent to continue, I am going back to my room to rest…of course, if you ever change your mind, I will welcome you at any time. My door isn’t locked.”

When Dorelis turned, her smile vanished and a cold light flashed in her eyes. She had indeed guessed that Qin Yu was using her to lower the guard of the Ancient. Moreover, she had determined that Qin Yu was hiding some other secret.

But in fact, Dorelis hadn’t gained anything. She was increasingly sure that the backdoor she left behind in Qin Yu might not be able to play a useful role. In other words, if she couldn’t reinforce it, there was a high chance Qin Yu would escape her control in the future.

But this boy was slippery and clearly had scruples against her. It would be too difficult to drag him into her bed.

Should she use her back door and force Qin Yu to submit? Or should she wait a bit longer and search for another opportunity?

Dorelis fell into thought.

As Qin Yu watched Dorelis vanish around the corner, he closed the door. His expression became faint. As they talked just now, the hidden rune on the Ancient’s heart fluctuated a little. It was clear that Dorelis had been thinking of using it.

But Qin Yu didn’t worry about this. If Dorelis really tried something, she would be the one to suffer in the end.
