Chapter 2282 — The Miraculous Mask
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
After the Heaven-Rank Spider departed with its subordinates, Sun Jingyan and Wei Zhao lay down to sleep. The cave had sleeping mats and beds prepared by the Heaven-Rank Spider, so there was no worry about a place to rest.
Sun Jingyan was tired and soon fell asleep, while Wei Zhao entered the jade pendant space to continue his cultivation...
Ever since leaving the Great Fire Lion's lair, Wei Zhao's heart had been on edge, fearing that the Great Protector and his lot might come looking for trouble. But this night, Wei Zhao and the others rested soundly, free from worry about foreign enemies or other mishaps. Though Wei Zhao remained within the jade pendant space, sensing his surroundings with his divine consciousness and spiritual power, it was truly far more relaxed than the previous nights.
Sun Jingyan slept well, and the little Sky Thunder Pig slept soundly too. When the one human and one beast awoke, the horizon had already turned gray-white—day had broken.
"Mmm—" Sun Jingyan stretched languidly but did not get up; instead she lingered on the sleeping mat, watching Wei Zhao with a lazy, naturally alluring air. "I slept so soundly. I haven't slept this soundly in a long while!"
Wei Zhao looked at Sun Jingyan. In this state she was at her most tempting. There was an indescribable seductiveness about this woman—the slightest unconscious movement could stir a man's heartstrings and make him involuntarily want to push her down.
Among the women around Wei Zhao, there truly was no one quite like her. The eldest young lady was somewhat cold and aloof; Xiaoshu and Xiaoxiao were somewhat wild and boisterous; Wang Xinyan was somewhat quiet and demure; Qiu Lingshan was somewhat fiery. But Sun Jingyan—she possessed an indescribable allure.
No wonder Wu Chengtian had once been so bewitched by her. If Wei Zhao's self-control had been weaker, he would likely have fallen by now.
Wei Zhao did not mind something happening between him and Sun Jingyan—but now was truly not a good time.
"Must you tempt me like this?" Wei Zhao's gaze swept over Sun Jingyan's lovely figure as he spoke calmly.
"Tempt you? Are you so easily tempted?" Sun Jingyan said with a half-smile. "When I first met you and asked for your help, you seemed to have strong self-control—not the least bit dazzled by beauty."
"People change," Wei Zhao said. "My self-control has been rather poor lately—perhaps because Xiaoxiao has gone."
"Let's not talk about that..." Sun Jingyan did not dislike this somewhat ambiguous topic; she merely feared that if Wei Zhao steered the conversation toward Feng Xiaoxiao, it would then lead to Tang Zhi—a subject best avoided, one she could not easily discuss. "What time is it?"
"It's already past six in the morning," Wei Zhao said, glancing at his phone. Though it had no signal, it served well enough as a watch.
