Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 271: Chapter 276: A Different Kind of Battle

Outside the window, there were no stars or moon, only the sound of a bubbling spring, occasionally accompanied by the cries of night birds, creating a serene ambiance.

Inside the room, candlelight flickered, and an unusual battle was taking place.

"Let go! Why are you biting me?" Ye Fan shouted. A row of teeth marks appeared on his arm, causing him so much pain he almost fell off the bed.

Qin Yao’s hair was disheveled, and her crystalline teeth glimmered as she said, "I’m biting you on purpose!"

At this moment, the candlelight flickered. On the large rosewood bed, the two were continually exchanging moves. Grapple Skill and Counter Grappling techniques were frequently employed, palms and fingers clashing with thuds.

However, their state was overly suggestive; both were unclothed, their postures captivating, their bodies radiant as they engaged in close combat.

On Ye Fan’s arm, the bite marks were deep and not just in one spot, forming a row. He retreated slightly, putting some distance between them.

Qin Yao’s beautiful eyes were misty, her crystalline body like carved warm jade, snowy white. Her undulating curves shimmered with an alluring glow, much like a beautiful serpent.

Her hair danced lightly as she continuously struck. Ye Fan was forced to meet her attacks head-on. It wasn’t a fight to the death, but there was no room for carelessness; a moment’s lapse would result in one being overpowered by the other.

This was a half-earnest, half-playful struggle, one that might evolve into a real battle or stop at any moment. However, the scene was undeniably sensual; after all, they were on a bed, completely bare to each other.

Especially Qin Yao, her soft, fragrant body twisted and turned, making one’s heart flutter. Her demonic figure gleamed, possessing a charm that could enchant the world.

Qin Yao’s arms were smooth, like jade, snow-white and tender, drawing beautiful trajectories as they brushed towards Ye Fan’s vital points.

Above the large rosewood bed, they left trails of afterimages, like white lightning weaving through the air, or spirits dancing under the night moon. Though it was a battle, it possessed a certain beauty.

Naturally, Ye Fan didn’t want to be subdued. His palms and fingers were like iron swords, blocking horizontally and vertically, spinning like two windmills as he swiftly counterattacked, their exchanges fleeting.

SWISH!

Qin Yao flicked her hair, her snow-white neck exposed. Her glossy black hair cascaded like a waterfall, engulfing Ye Fan, who couldn’t dodge in time and was instantly entangled.

"Great Beauty Qin, don’t push me!" Ye Fan struggled, but felt the entanglement grow tighter. He stopped resisting and instead moved forward.

With limited space on the bed, evasion was impossible. Ye Fan immediately pressed close to Qin Yao. This time, it was his turn to open his mouth and take a bite.

That crystalline pink ear appeared by his lips. He bit down, not too hard, not too soft, refusing to let go, allowing her hair to enwrap him.

"You... let go!" Qin Yao swung her hands, aiming for Ye Fan’s meridians, trying to incapacitate him.

Ye Fan’s spiritual perception was exceptionally sharp, so he naturally avoided her attacks. Though his head remained lowered, his hands moved as agilely as the wind, continuously clashing against her fair hands.

Qin Yao’s black hair danced, her serpentine jade body swayed, her skin shimmering. She struck heavily; if Ye Fan hadn’t possessed a sacred body, he might not have been able to withstand it.

BANG!

Ye Fan unleashed the Fighting Saint Technique. Although it wasn’t a deadly move, adapting this secret art with minor techniques was quite intricate. After hundreds of exchanges, Ye Fan captured her pair of jade hands, making it difficult for her to break free and strike again.

"Argh..."

Ye Fan let out a muffled groan as his shoulder was bitten again. As he cried out, he instinctively released his bite, and that crystalline ear quickly pulled away.

"You’re not trying to bite off a piece of my flesh, are you?" Ye Fan snorted.

Qin Yao didn’t answer. Her shiny teeth held firmly onto his shoulder, refusing to let go, while her hands struggled, trying to execute a Counter Grappling technique.

BANG!

Ye Fan, ignoring the bite on his shoulder, exerted force, attempting to twist Qin Yao’s arms behind her back to subdue her.

SWISH!

Radiance flashed. Qin Yao’s alluring jade body, like a slippery water snake, broke free from his grasp and slid to the side. This was a secret art of the demon clan.

BANG!

She counterattacked, placing her hands on Ye Fan’s wrists, trying to subdue him. Her ten fingers, crystalline and transparent, exuded streams of colorful light that entwined his wrists.

The threads of colorful light were densely woven, forming a luminous net that bound Ye Fan’s arms.

At this moment, Ye Fan’s body shone with divine brilliance. With a light shake, though not shattering the colorful light, he forced Qin Yao to loosen her bite. Her red lips and pearly teeth pulled away, leaving another mark on his shoulder.

Ye Fan’s unique physique, channeling divine energy, instantly freed his arms. He moved forward to engage Qin Yao again.

BANG! BANG!

Qin Yao’s jade hands danced like fluttering butterflies, continuously clashing with Ye Fan’s palms and fingers, producing a series of soft thuds.

At first, both still employed various secret arts, dueling in the confined space. But the rosewood bed offered very little room, and soon they were pressed against each other, limbs entangled. The contest completely changed its nature, becoming utterly disheveled.

"You..." Qin Yao’s skin flushed pink, as if covered by a red mist.

By now, this struggle had completely transformed into something else entirely.

Qin Yao’s hair was disheveled. Her slender, jade-like body, reminiscent of a serpent, seemed carved from pink crystal, twisting as gracefully as willows in the wind.

"You’ve taken such a huge advantage of me today!" Qin Yao gritted her teeth, her jade hand sweeping towards Ye Fan, who was on top of her.

Ye Fan countered. Their relationship was quite unusual; even in this most intimate state, they were still clashing, unlike a typical "passionate" couple.

BANG!

Their palms and fingers collided, and their bodies shook violently, but everything continued, filled with endless allure.

"You really are a beast!" Qin Yao gritted her teeth and cursed.

"Better than being worse than a beast," Ye Fan said, blocking Qin Yao’s jade fingers aimed at his chest with his powerful palm.

Qin Yao’s hair danced lightly, a blush covering her. Visibly annoyed, she repeatedly attacked.

"Come on, Great Beauty Qin, what are we doing right now? Look at the state we’re in, yet you’re constantly ruining the mood and picking a fight with me."

The two fought from beginning to end. An unknown amount of time passed before the room finally quieted down.

"Beast!" Qin Yao’s crystalline teeth bit down firmly.

"At least I wasn’t called worse than a beast," Ye Fan remarked brightly, looking at her supple body.

「The latter half of the night was particularly serene.」

Only the tinkling sound of the spring in the pine forest could be heard, offering a tranquil and simple feeling.

SWISH!

Silently, a figure appeared in the room. The flickering candlelight illuminated her exceptional beauty.

Yan Ruyu, clad in white, moved with a light grace, her stunning immortal body outlined to utmost allure. Black hair draped to her waist, and her perfect face was without a single flaw.

Upon entering the room, she immediately sensed something was amiss. Feeling the unusual atmosphere, she blushed when her gaze swept over the large bed.

"You two..."

Qin Yao lowered her head, deeply ashamed. She had been sent to watch over Ye Fan, never anticipating it would develop to this stage.

Ye Fan was a bit embarrassed at first but quickly composed himself. He calmly answered, "We were discussing life’s ideals."

Qin Yao felt the impulse to bite him. She snatched the quilt covering Ye Fan, shielding her own body, and said resentfully, "I’m not done with you!"

Yan Ruyu hurriedly closed her eyes, then promptly turned away. Her white robe fluttered, and with a flash of light, she vanished in an instant.

Ye Fan quickly covered his strong body with clothes, saying, "Alright, I also hope it’s not over."

"You... took such an advantage and you still dare to talk like this?" Qin Yao struck again.

BANG! BANG!

Their battle resumed, this time far more intense than before.

Finally, Qin Yao, overcome with anger, stepped off the bed, gathered her clothes, and turned to leave.

"Tomorrow, the Princess will kill you!"

"I haven’t gone to the Immortal Hall; she has no reason to act. As for us... she already saw, made no comment, and I’ve explained: we were discussing life’s ideals."

"You’re such a scoundrel!" Qin Yao turned back in rage, her lotus-like arms extending, exuding a luminous glow as she struck at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was defensively passive. In the Dao Palace secret realm, almost no one could suppress him in close combat. Consequently, Qin Yao didn’t leave the room that night. It wasn’t until the sky grew bright at dawn that a violent noise resonated from the palace in the pine forest.

"Beast!" Qin Yao turned and left. A palm strike shattered the entire palace, burying Ye Fan within.

In the distance, Black Emperor was furious, howling in pain as it crawled from the debris, its bald tail held erect. It leaped high and cursed.

"Damn it, who did I provoke? To think I’d get smashed black and blue and buried alive by a collapsing palace even while sleeping..."

Its dog face grew long, its expression dark, as it searched everywhere.

「A long time later,」

Ye Fan coughed, emerging from the swirling dust of the ruins.

"Damn it, kid, what outrageous thing did you do to make this Emperor suffer too?" The big black dog first glanced at Qin Yao disappearing over the horizon, then glared malevolently at Ye Fan.

Last night, it had drunk itself into a stupor and didn’t know what had happened.

"Of course, it was an earthquake. Didn’t you see I got buried alive?" Ye Fan said while heading to the creek to wash.

"Nonsense! Does your family’s earthquake only target this one mountain? Aren’t the palaces on the other peaks perfectly fine?" the big black dog said, its face dark.

"You’re right. This is our family’s special kind of earthquake."

「Until the sun was high overhead,」

Tu Fei returned to the mountain. Seeing all the palaces in the pine forest collapsed, he was stunned and asked, "What happened? Did you fight someone here?"

"Just sparred with someone and accidentally collapsed this place," Ye Fan responded.𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Tu Fei’s expression was peculiar. Looking behind Ye Fan, he said, "Don’t tell me you were sparring with Fairy Qin?"

"Yeah, sparred with her and accidentally collapsed the place," Ye Fan answered absent-mindedly.

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Qin Yao’s voice came.

She was clad in white, descending from the sky. The breeze rustled her clothes, making them flutter and fully displaying her enchanting curves. Her demonic figure was slender and exceptionally graceful.

"I didn’t say anything..." Ye Fan hurriedly explained.

Tu Fei showed his big-mouthed tendency again, saying, "How can you say you said nothing? Didn’t you just claim you and Fairy Qin battled here all night?"

Damn him! Ye Fan barely resisted the urge to punch him.

"You two continue sparring; I won’t disturb you." Tu Fei kicked the big black dog, then turned and ran.

"Damn it, WOOF!" The big black dog furiously gave chase.

Qin Yao’s exquisite, undulating, and alluringly curvaceous body trembled with anger. Then, swaying gracefully, she walked over. Full of charm, she said, "Did you really say that?!"
