Chapter 160 The Cold and Aloof Immortal's Darkened Daoist Partner 9

Yun Qing blinked expressionlessly, then calmly sat up as if nothing had happened, and asked with a serious face, "Senior brother, is there something wrong with my body?"

Zong Yunze looked at her chubby face and her feigned aloofness, secretly rubbed his fingers together, and then explained slowly, "It's not a big problem, but your body shape may remain somewhat unstable until you've fully grown up."

He originally thought that Yun Qing would only grow a little bigger after absorbing this pool of spiritual liquid, but he did not expect that she would grow directly to a normal size, but then be unable to maintain it.

She will likely alternate between normal and small body sizes from time to time.

Seeing her serious expression as she frowned in thought, Zong Yunze finally reached out and poked her cheek, his cool voice carrying a hint of reassurance, "It's alright, continue cultivating."

Yun Qing nodded.

After becoming a normal person, she would feel uncomfortable sitting on Zong Yunze's lap.

But after shrinking, she got used to it and didn't feel anything was wrong.

Even if Zong Yunze made physical advances, she wouldn't think he was using his good looks to seduce her.

After all, she's like a little mouse right now, and any normal person wouldn't have any dirty thoughts.

She sat cross-legged on Zong Yunze's lap, closed her eyes, and focused intently on her cultivation, completely unaware that Zong Yunze had been quietly watching her for a long time.

After absorbing the remaining spiritual liquid, Yun Qing returned to her normal size. When she noticed the change in her body, she turned her body away, not wanting to fall into Zong Yunze's arms again.

She must stay away from the charms of handsome men!

However, Zong Yunze was prepared this time and naturally wouldn't let her fall. He reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Yun Qing had been sitting with her back to him, and now her back was pressed against his chest.

Zong Yunze wrapped his arm around her waist, his cool hand gripping her side, trapping her in his embrace.

Yun Qing's heart pounded with alarm bells, and she quickly looked up at him.

Zong Yunze's expression was perfectly normal, his aloof demeanor revealing no hint of evil. Although his arm was around her, he remained perfectly still and didn't move an inch.

Yun Qing couldn't help but wonder if she had been overthinking things before, and that he wasn't actually trying to use his good looks to seduce her.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, Zong Yunze didn't need to make such a big sacrifice.

With her current strength, Zong Yunze could crush her with a single finger. If he really wanted to do something, could she possibly resist?

She must have misunderstood.

Although Zong Yunze has some character issues, as the system said, as the leader of the righteous path, he is not entirely without principles.

She was prejudiced and always thought of him in the worst possible light, which made it impossible for her to understand his true intentions.

Just as Yun Qing was reflecting on her actions, Zong Yunze asked with concern, "How are you feeling? Is there anything different from before?"

His tone was extremely serious, but as he spoke, his breath brushed against the back of her ear.

Yunqing felt itchy, and her ears involuntarily became hot.

She pursed her lips, turned her head away, and said with a seemingly calm expression, "It's alright, I seem to have more strength than before."

As she spoke, she tried to get up, but at that moment, her earlobe was suddenly pinched and rubbed.

Yun Qing almost jumped up, but her limbs were a little weak, and Zong Yunze held her back, preventing her from jumping.

She quickly reached out and grabbed Zong Yunze's sleeve, but because she was weak, she couldn't budge his hand. She could only say urgently, "Senior Brother!"

Zong Yunze's cold gaze fell on her face, seemingly unaware of the terrible thing he had done, and stated a fact in a calm and indifferent tone.

"Junior sister, your ears are red."

Yun Qing couldn't help but glare at him with a stern face. How dare he talk back after touching me like that!

Zong Yunze met her gaze and said again, "Your face is red too."

Yun Qing took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, saying, "Senior brother! Shut up!"

Zong Yunze nodded, a knowing look in his eyes. "Shy? Then I won't say anything."

【Aaaaaaah! System, Zong Yunze is no good! He has no morals! He's just trying to use his good looks to seduce you!】

The system timidly reminded you: "Host, don't forget he's your beloved Daoist partner. Being too resistant will ruin your image."

Yun Qing: ...Do you know how hard it is for me to get a bite to eat?

I want to add...

Before she could finish speaking, the system announced: [Reward doubled.]

Yun Qing's anger subsided instantly.

Following the original owner's persona, she tried her best to remain calm, but with some embarrassment and annoyance, she lowered her eyes to avoid looking at Zong Yunze. With her face flushed red, she stubbornly said, "This is just a normal bodily reaction!"

Zong Yunze hummed in agreement, as if he believed her, and said nothing more.

He held her earlobe with his fingers, rubbed it a couple more times before slowly letting go.

Without Zong Yunze causing trouble, the heat on Yun Qing's face finally subsided.

She looked at herself in the water mirror and found that after growing up, she was not affected by the baby fat of her small body. She did not look cute with a chubby face, but rather had a cold and beautiful appearance, exactly the same as Chu Yunqing in her memory.

Chu Yunqing is a rather serious and quiet person who doesn't like to smile. Coupled with her cold appearance and temperament, she makes people feel that she is unapproachable and difficult to get close to just by standing there.

Even when she was with Zong Yunze, she was very reserved and not good at expressing her feelings.

However, just as the system said, after experiencing life and death, Chu Yunqing should indeed be closer to and more dependent on Zong Yunze now.

However, one's personality cannot be completely changed overnight.

So Yun Qing kept turning her head away from Zong Yunze, maintaining a cold expression on her face, but she showed no intention of escaping from his embrace. She even held onto Zong Yunze's sleeve with one hand.

Zong Yunze didn't do anything out of line, but he also showed no intention of urging her to get up.

The two remained silent until Yun Qing suddenly changed back to her original state.

Zong Yunze calmly picked her up, then tucked her into his shirt before standing up and walking out of the dried-up pool.

Yun Qing: ? ? ?

She clung to his shirt with both hands, peeked out with her head, and tried to look up at him. "Senior brother, what are you doing?"

Zong Yunze glanced down at her and said without changing his expression, "Your body shape is unstable right now. I'm afraid that if you suddenly grow bigger, you'll crush me."

As he spoke, he noticed that her feet weren't quite on solid ground, so he reached out and pulled his shirt open a little. This way, when she held onto his shirt with both hands, her feet could rest on his belt, preventing her from falling down.

Yun Qing: ...

Zong Yunze is dressed so disheveled? Has he abandoned his image as the leader of the righteous path?

[System, Zong Yunze is acting increasingly strangely. Is he even thinking straight?]

The system remained silent, but it felt that its master's mind was as sharp as it could possibly be.
