Chapitre 289: Travelling together
It had been a few months since Jian Shen and Xifeng who left the Winter Jade Empire had been travelling together, and honestly, their journey was nothing like what Jian Shen hoped for it to be.
In the beginning, he was very excited to travel across the Divine Realm with a beautiful woman accompanying him, but the excitement didn't take long to disappear.
Putting aside the hand-holding, hugging, and kissing, his relationship with Xifeng was completely platonic.
In other words, he hadn't get had sex with Xifeng for some reason and hadn't even met any beautiful women on his journey that were worth bearing with her wrath.
After all, during their months of travel Xifeng's jealousy when he flirted with other women turned into wrath.
And this wrath wasn't towards Jian Shen but towards the woman, he tried to flirt with therefore making him feel guilty and stop trying to do such a thing again.
Still, he had to admit that Xifeng's tactics were very effective as she managed to make him stop trying to flirt with every passing beauty.
"How much farther, Xifeng?"
"I already told you right? At our current pace, we are still a few months away from reaching the Black Forest City."
Nodding his head Jian Shen said, "I'm bored from all of this flying around, let's go and do something else for a while. "
"Even though I know what it is you have in your mind, do tell me what you want to do."
Without trying to hide anything, Jian Shen straightforwardly said, "Sex! Let's have sex!"
"Humph! Is sex everything you think of?"
"Yes!"
Rolling her eyes because she was sure that only Jian Shen would say such a thing, Xifeng said, "Don't you think we've gotten so much closer in the past few months we didn't have sex? We're bonding on an emotional level. So why spoil it? Just wait for a little longer. Okay? Please."
By now, Jian Shen had more or less guessed that Xifeng had some sort of negative impression about sex which was getting in the way of him sleeping with her.
But, since he didn't want to put her in an awkward position and force her to speak when she didn't yet want to, he only kept on trying to make her open up and reveal what it was.
Unfortunately, since this attempt at doing so also failed like always he turned silent and didn't say anything else.
Kissing her on the cheek like usual, Jian Shen continued matching his speed of flight with Xifeng.
...
Looking towards Jian Shen from the corner of her eye, Xifeng despite feeling bad for him who was being so patient with her found herself unable to take that final step and have sex with him.
It wasn't as if she didn't want to have sex with him, but it was just that everyone she thought about her past she'd lose all of her determination to continue through and have sex with him.
Considering how a man had already tricked her into believing that she found her soul mate when all he wanted was the Empire she was ruling, Xifeng had taken a long time to even start placing her trust in Jian Shen.
This was why even though she was acting like she was having fun during the first two months of their travel, she was on the edge the entire time and therefore forced all women away when they tried to get close to Jian Shen.
Now however she wouldn't do such a thing anymore because she was finally starting to trust Jian Shen after all the fun and happy moments they shared until now.
Like that picnic they enjoyed while viewing the flowers on the mountain of flowers, the delicious food and wine they tasted at the best restaurant in the Ice Haven Region, and so on.
Still, even after all of that she just couldn't take that one last step and have sex with him even though she wanted to as well.
'Just a little longer, Jian Shen... I swear I only need a little longer... '
Muttering to herself on the inside that Jian Shen wouldn't get fed up with her and leave thinking that she was just teasing him, Xifeng hoped that she would get over her fears soon.
...
"Husband, it is time for you to offset that woman's bad luck."
"I know."
Looking at the city from the balcony of his room, Jian Shen who was thinking about the same thing looked over his shoulder to see Xifeng who was soundly sleeping on the bed.
Shaking his head and pushing the thoughts of entering it outside his head, Jian Shen who didn't to force her into doing something she didn't want to went back to looking at the well-lit city under the moonlight.
The two of them had finally reached the Black Forest City and we're going to use the teleportation circle tomorrow to travel to the Lee Region.
So, it was best to offset Meirong's bad luck before they used the teleportation circle.
This would also allow him to help take her along with him since she very well couldn't sneak inside the teleportation circle with them.
"Meirong, let's talk."
While Jian Shen spoke very slowly, his voice did cause two people to involuntarily move and create sound.
One of them was Xifeng who was acting as if she was sleeping on the bed, while the other one was Meirong who had been following them through the entire trip.
Smiling and looking in the direction that he guessed Meirong was in, Jian Shen said, "It's time to get rid of your bad luck."
Sighing from hearing this, Xifeng continued acting like she was still sleeping while Meirong didn't say anything in response.
Having hoped to hear something else, and maybe something romantic, Meirong felt disappointed that Jian Shen who was talking to her after such a long time was talking about getting rid of her bad luck.
