Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 132 - "Let's Sleep"

The initial physical contact they had did not make Bai Rouyun’s heart beat rapidly, but just thinking about sharing a bed with Li Moyun was making her face flush red, and her eyes turned watery, as she did not know where to look.

Seeing her so bashful and shy, it was as if someone was scratching Li Moyun’s heart; an indescribable itch grew in his body, and he took a large stride towards Bai Rouyun, dragging her into his embrace, and pressing her body against his.

"Don’t worry, I will not do anything immoral," he promised her with his low and hoarse voice as he looked down on her.

However, the more he spoke, the more embarrassed Bai Rouyun became. She could smell the scent that was unique to Li Moyun, the male hormones were surrounding her, and her mind was in a state of confusion as all she could feel was the embrace that had wrapped around her.

She would usually be capable of maintaining a calm mind no matter what she was doing, but right now, her mind had completely thrown caution to the wind and was being dazed by the close proximity of Li Moyun.

Sensing how her hands, which at first had rested on his chest, were now clutching his robes in the small palms, a gentle smile erupted on his lips.

Although she had lived two lives, Bai Rouyun was still extremely innocent. She was a young woman who had never experienced love before, and although she was previously at the peak of the continent, there were many things she did not understand.

Li Moyun was also a complete novice when it came to feelings, but he understood himself well. He wanted to be near Bai Rouyun; he wanted to be the closest person to her.

If she said to go west, he would never dare to go east; if she said to follow the chicken, he would never look for a dog.

He would follow all her wishes and ensure that she was happy. He had found a new joy in life, which was to see her happy expression.

Nothing in the world could replace the feeling he got when he knew that he was the one who had brought her happiness.

Bai Rouyun felt dizzy, but she did not try to escape from the warm embrace. What she needed right now was to feel the closeness of Li Moyun, to know that he was real.

Every problem she had encountered had always been handled by herself, but this time she was no longer alone. She wanted to lean on Li Moyun, and borrow his strength.

She buried her head in his chest. Her eyes were closed, and she allowed herself to empty her mind, just revelling in the feelings that she was feeling.

There was no ambiguity in the air, only gentleness, and tenderness. The two of them were in each other’s embrace, but they did not wish to take it further. They were satisfied as long as they were together.

No one knew how long it took before Bai Rouyun retreated a step. She opened her eyes and looked up at Li Moyun, her eyes were still watery, but this time they contained much happiness as she looked at the man in front of her.

Li Moyun grasped her hand and led her to the bed. He then carried her up, placed her on the bed, and removed her shoes, before he pushed her back so that she would lay down.

He then found the blanket, which he wrapped around her. After bundling her up in the blanket, he took off his own shoes, and climbed into the bed.

His sturdy chest was pressing against Bai Rouyun’s back, and he could feel her gently breathing. Although she was breathing slowly, he could tell that she was nervous as he could feel her heavily beating heart, and a tender smile flashed past his eyes. She was too adorable.

He reached out his arm and wrapped it around her waist. Although she was hidden underneath the blanket, she could still feel the warmth of the arm through the fabric, and her face began turning red.

"Sleep," he whispered gently into her ear. "I rushed here through the entire night; I need a nap now."

Bai Rouyun was aware that it was not needed for a cultivator of such high rank to sleep; however, if his mentality was exhausted, sleep was the best way to recover.

Since he said he needed sleep, she could imagine the worries and thoughts that had occupied his mind the previous night, and she knew that sleeping would benefit him.

When she thought of how he had arrived as soon as possible, throwing everything in his hands away to reach her, her heart ached for him.

She had been too hasty when asking for him to come and accompany her. She was unsure why she had been so influenced by realizing the truth behind her heritage in her previous life, but now she knew how rushed and panicked she had been.

Since he was exhausted, he had to sleep, and if he wanted to hug her to sleep, then so be it.

Thinking like this, she convinced herself that it was fine for her to accompany him. That it was not the first time they shared a bed, and that they were married, so it did not matter, but her heart was beating rapidly, and her face could not stop blushing.

It did not take long before she heard the steady breathing of Li Moyun behind her, and the heavy arm on her waist was heavy but limp. She knew that he had fallen asleep, and she finally relaxed a little.
