The Predecessor Is All Over The Martial Arts World Chapter 3
byChapter 3 Her Purity, Which She Had Kept for Eighteen Years, Just Vanished?
The foreign sensation in her mouth was so distinct that Wuming instinctively tried to chase it away, wanting to expel this uninvited guest from her territory.
But her movements were too clumsy, and the other party was too agile. As a result, not only did Wuming fail to achieve her goal, but she accidentally got tangled up with the other person, leaving herself breathless.
!!!!!
Wuming nearly suffocated. Fortunately, the attentive Hou Danxue noticed her distress and released her in time.
Wuming saw the clear enjoyment on the other party’s face and felt annoyed. She raised her hand, pulled the other person toward her, and forcefully kissed Hou Danxue, who looked astonished.
Heh heh! The home field has changed, and now she won’t be the unlucky one! She would make Hou Danxue experience the feeling of suffocation too!
Hou Danxue didn’t resist at all, allowing Wuming to run wild in her territory, quietly enjoying the moment while lying on top of Wuming.
Wuming kissed for a long time before suddenly remembering to check Hou Danxue’s reaction. She didn’t want to accidentally kiss her ally to death.
But to Wuming’s surprise, Hou Danxue showed none of the embarrassment she herself had felt earlier. This frustrated Wuming greatly. Feeling bored, she released Hou Danxue.
Wuming wanted to get up and drink water, but Hou Danxue nestled in her arms, weighing her down. As Wuming tried to shake off the entanglement, Hou Danxue started kissing her again on her own accord.
Wuming was kissed until her body went soft, and she couldn’t support herself, falling back onto the bed.
Wuming was furious. She truly didn’t want to continue this entanglement. She was thirsty right now; she just wanted to drink water!
Wuming, acting out of spite, increased the strength in her hands. Hearing Hou Danxue’s seemingly pained tone, the frustration in her heart finally eased slightly.
But soon, she couldn’t smile anymore. Her actions had brought retribution—Hou Danxue clung tightly to her, like a drowning person grasping at their only chance of survival. Wuming felt like she was about to be strangled.
Just as Wuming’s patience was about to run out, Hou Danxue’s grip suddenly loosened. She lay weakly on Wuming’s body.
After the intense entanglement, their clothes were loose. Hou Danxue’s body was pressed tightly against hers, and Wuming could feel the dampness clinging to her own skin.
Her body was covered in Hou Danxue’s scent…
Wuming felt unwell again. Was she now completely and utterly defiled?
Her purity, which she had kept for eighteen years, just vanished?
She hadn’t even waited for her wedding night! She had sacrificed so much without even seeing the shadow of the Spirit Bamboo she initially wanted!
Too much loss! Too much loss! A massive loss!
Wuming’s heart was filled with sorrow. She wanted to push Hou Danxue away and drink water, but she only moved slightly and her body trembled violently.
They were pressed together seamlessly. The ripples caused by Wuming’s movement energized Hou Danxue again, and she hugged Wuming tightly.
Wuming was stimulated and didn’t want to move anymore, allowing the other party to coil around her like a water snake.
But Hou Danxue seemed to have found amusement. She kept testing Wuming’s limits. Wuming felt that if this continued, the intense, explosive emotions would cause her to suffer a deviation in cultivation.
No! This couldn’t continue! It was too terrifying! She had to escape! She must escape!
Wuming realized that Hou Danxue was quite persistent in this matter. Her grip was strong, and Wuming couldn’t shake her off immediately.
Wuming could only find a way to make Hou Danxue lose her strength again.
She tried her old trick, but Hou Danxue’s threshold had increased after the first time. She had to try more techniques.
Finally, she succeeded. Her spirit surged with the excitement of success, and then she felt the dampness that threatened to drown her.
Hou Danxue was the ocean, and she was merely a small stream.
But they were both water; there was no difference. The ocean and the stream would merge.
Wuming felt that she had been infected by Hou Danxue’s spirit, and she was completely exhausted.
Fortunately, her martial arts foundation was excellent. Even when she was utterly spent, she could still weakly stand up to find water.
Wuming leaned on the table, grabbed the teapot, and gulped down the contents. Having lost so much fluid, she was truly dying of thirst. Only now did she feel alive again.
Wuming felt comfortable, then looked toward Hou Danxue. The other party had been pushed onto the bed and was lying there weakly, but her eyes followed Wuming constantly. As soon as Wuming looked at her, their eyes met.
Hiss… she looked so pitiful.
She had lost much more fluid than Wuming, so she must be much thirstier, right?
Even though her current exhaustion was Hou Danxue’s fault, Wuming still felt pity for her. She held the teapot, intending to feed Hou Danxue some water.
Hou Danxue was extremely weak, lacking even the strength to swallow. The water simply trickled down the corner of her mouth.
Wuming had no choice but to take a mouthful of water herself and pass it to her.
Perhaps due to her lack of strength, the other party was unexpectedly docile. Wuming couldn’t help but linger for a long time.
Sensing that the other party seemed to have recovered a little strength, Wuming immediately released her.
“I’ll go call for water…”
“You are unwell right now; I should go.”
Wuming turned to leave, but Hou Danxue’s hand hooked onto her clothes. Wuming’s already loose clothing fell to the floor.
“Wait… put on your clothes… before I become the family head… play your role well…”
A surge of inexplicable frustration rose in Wuming’s heart. She didn’t want to mention their agreement at a time like this!
Moreover, she didn’t want to be a man at all.
During her years as a Wanderer, even though being a man would have made her life much easier, she had never abandoned her female identity.
She had killed the men who looked down on her or were hostile toward her because of this.
She didn’t kill women, because when she was weak, it was the compassion and aid of older women, her fellow females, that allowed her to survive and for her talent to manifest.
Women possessed far more great love than men. She often wondered if the world would be much better if women held the advantage.
“When can I go back to being a woman?”
“Soon. Once we are married, I will gain access to the family core, and I will quickly become the family head. And you, naturally, will be the family head’s wife. The Hou Family’s wealth will be yours to use.”
Hou Danxue had recovered somewhat, and her speech was no longer intermittent. She started painting a rosy picture for Wuming again.
“There is a Spirit Bamboo in your dowry. On the day of the wedding, I must see that Spirit Bamboo!”
Wuming felt she had lost too much. She would no longer accept empty promises; she needed Hou Danxue to provide some tangible benefits.
In any case, her lightness skill was good. If the situation turned sour, she could cut her losses, take the existing benefits, and leave.
“Alright…”
Hou Danxue was not aware that there was such a Spirit Bamboo in her dowry. Since she hadn’t noticed it, it must not be a very important item. She could get her hands on it before the wedding.
Wuming was satisfied. She put on her clothes and walked out the door. There were maids standing guard outside. Seeing Wuming emerge, they came forward.
“The Young Miss needs water.”
They had only been intimately entangled; they hadn’t made any noise, so the people outside didn’t know what had happened.
“I also worked up a sweat during the match just now, so I need water too.”
The maids left after receiving the instructions, and Wuming began to wander around the courtyard.
She looked at the other rooms in the courtyard but found nowhere she could stay.
So, where did Hou Danxue intend to arrange for her to sleep?
She couldn’t possibly be expected to sleep in the utility room, could she?
Actually, she wasn’t picky; she could even sleep outdoors. But as the future wife of the Hou Family head, how could she sleep in the utility room!
Her status was different, so her requirements naturally changed.
Once Hou Danxue became the family head, she would have to allocate a courtyard to her wife, right?
Heh, she was about to live the life of a high-ranking person.
While Wuming was wandering, several wet nurses brought water. They entered Hou Danxue’s room, and Wuming followed them in.
Hou Danxue’s room actually had a bathing pool. It had been covered earlier, which was why she hadn’t noticed it.
“Young Miss, where will I sleep tonight?”
If she was treated carelessly, it would prove that Hou Danxue was not sincere in their cooperation, and Wuming would take the Spirit Bamboo and leave.
Hou Danxue waited until everyone in the room had withdrawn before answering Wuming’s question.
“You will naturally stay with me. That way, your identity won’t be exposed.”
“Young Miss… isn’t that against propriety? Will your family members accept it?”
“Grandmother won’t openly stop us. The opinions of everyone else don’t matter.”
Wuming felt awkward. She was somewhat afraid of staying with Hou Danxue.
When they were together, things developed uncontrollably. She… also started to feel less like herself. This feeling of being out of control made Wuming very uncomfortable.
Hou Danxue was the biggest risk factor, and Wuming had to use all her energy when facing her.
While Wuming was lost in thought, Hou Danxue had already entered the bathing pool.
“Didn’t you say you needed water a while ago?”
“Should we… bathe together? But I already instructed the maids…”
“Do you think there are any other rooms in my courtyard where you can use water? Are you going to bathe in the open air…”
Wuming knew she had no choice. She couldn’t stand the sticky feeling, so she could only enter the bathing pool as Hou Danxue wished.
They were face to face, unexpectedly seeing each other completely exposed.
The light in the room had been dim before, and Wuming could only see vague outlines, so she hadn’t felt much.
Now, Wuming felt awkward looking anywhere, so she stiffly kept her head raised.
Hou Danxue chuckled softly. Wuming suddenly realized the sound of her laughter was very close. She had already moved closer to Wuming without any warning.
This shouldn’t be happening. Where was the alertness she had honed in the blood rain?
If Hou Danxue were her enemy, she would have exposed too many weaknesses and would surely be dead.
Hou Danxue was not her enemy, but she still had Wuming completely under her control.
Wuming’s swimming ability was only average—enough not to drown.
And Hou Danxue, whom Wuming thought resembled a water snake, became even more aggressively clingy once she was in the water. Wuming couldn’t fend her off at all.
She couldn’t remain so passive!
Fortunately, Wuming was physically stronger. After some effort, she managed to gain a slight upper hand.
“Young Miss, aren’t you tired?”
“I am tired, but… when I see you, I can’t help myself.”
Wuming felt choked up. She began to doubt the martial arts she practiced.
Good heavens, she hadn’t accidentally cultivated some kind of charm technique, had she?
