Night fell, with countless stars dotting the sky. A bright moon hung high, casting a silvery veil of moonlight that reflected on the small lake, shimmering with azure light.
A gentle breeze blew, making this a place full of poetic charm, refreshing to the heart and mind.
At this moment, by the lakeside, a young man and woman were locked in an embrace, kissing.
Or rather, it was the young man's forceful kiss, for the woman's dark, distinct eyes were wide open, filled with shock, completely caught off guard.
Dazed!
The Sixth Princess was utterly dazed. She never expected Ye Chen to actually dare to kiss her, to so wantonly plunder her lips.
"Mmm..."
She wanted to struggle, but this was the first time she had been so close to a man. His intense masculine aura made her feel somewhat intoxicated, her mind going blank, causing her to forget her outstanding cultivation. Still, her hands instinctively pressed against Ye Chen's chest, resisting with force.
But this seemed more like a coquettish act between lovers, utterly futile, just a few weak slaps.
"Ye Chen... you... scoundrel..."
Vaguely, it seemed the girl's resentful voice could be heard, but it was indistinct, as Ye Chen had occupied her cherry lips.
After a long while, Ye Chen finally stopped his assault, releasing the princess. He just looked at the Sixth Princess strangely, touched the corner of his own lips, which still bore the imprint of the princess's red lips, and muttered to himself somewhat puzzledly, "So this is the taste of a woman. Seems rather ordinary."
The Sixth Princess nearly collapsed to the ground. Her elegant, fitting dress was disheveled, occasionally revealing skin fairer than frost and snow, as crystalline as jade. But now, she couldn't care about the glimpses of spring scenery revealed by her messy clothes. She hastily retreated.
However, while retreating, she accidentally stepped on a stone and fell down completely. Her clothes became even more disarrayed. Vaguely, Ye Fan caught sight of a startling, eye-catching crimson beneath the snowy, crystalline skin of the girl's chest.
He was stunned for a moment. So this Sixth Princess liked red undergarments.
The Sixth Princess seemed to notice as well. With a gasp of surprise, she hurriedly tried to cover herself haphazardly, concealing the spring scenery on her body. But in her flustered state, more and more was revealed. Finally, she simply gave up covering and, like a little girl, covered her face and cried, "Ye Chen, you big bad guy, I hate you. How could you do this to me?"
When Ye Chen finally reacted, he also showed an awkward expression and turned his head away. "You should tidy your clothes. I won't look."
"Tidy what? Haven't you, this pervert, already seen everything?" The Sixth Princess sobbed, tears falling like rain, pear blossoms bathed in rain, possessing a unique, delicate beauty.
"Alright then, I'll keep looking." Ye Chen didn't refuse. On the contrary, he watched with great interest, his gaze lingering on the princess's body, where hints of spring scenery were faintly visible, even carrying an invasive quality, making her both angry and ashamed. She had never seen such a shameless, brazen fellow.
"Scoundrel, you're still looking!" The Sixth Princess stopped crying and said hurriedly.
Whether intentionally or truly unaware, Ye Chen actually said in surprise, "Oh? Didn't you just say I could look as I please?"
This scoundrel! The Sixth Princess clenched her delicate fists tightly, wishing she could punch this guy in the face. Was this the young Martial God? Clearly, he was just a rogue and a pervert.
Finally, under the Sixth Princess's murderous gaze, Ye Chen had no choice but to turn away. "Hurry up and tidy up. Don't say I peeked."
The Sixth Princess clumsily began to arrange her clothes. But while tidying up, she was rather awkward. Since childhood, maids had always dressed her. This was the first time she had to dress herself, and in the end, it became a complete mess. She had no choice but to take it off and put it back on.
However, the process of putting it on was rather unimpressive, as she couldn't get it on for the longest time.
Ye Chen, not far away, couldn't help but speak up. "It might be easier if you put the sleeves on first, then slip it over your body."
The Sixth Princess hummed in acknowledgment, tried it, and indeed found it much more convenient and quicker, slipping it on easily. But she quickly realized and instantly blushed crimson, glaring at Ye Chen with wide eyes. "Scoundrel! Pervert! How did you know that?"
Ye Chen immediately fell silent. He couldn't very well say he could also use his Primordial Spirit to probe, could he? But he guessed this Sixth Princess would probably end up scolding him anyway.
The Sixth Princess also realized: the other party was a Martial God, with a powerful Primordial Spirit. Using his divine sense, he could naturally "see" all this too.
This perverted scoundrel... The Sixth Princess clenched her delicate fists but could do nothing, as the other party was always on guard against her sneak attacks.
Finally, with great difficulty, the Sixth Princess managed to dress herself. But facing Ye Chen, she was still both ashamed and angry. Especially since this little scoundrel had not only taken her first kiss but also seen her naked. If this got out, how could she live?
"Don't worry, I won't speak of today's events," Ye Chen said, as if reading her thoughts, with a slight smile.
"It's good you know better." The Sixth Princess snorted delicately, but her pretty face was shy, flushed red. Facing this lecherous fellow, she was powerless.
Under the moonlight, by the lakeside, with specks of clear radiance and a gentle breeze brushing their faces, it was a place of poetic charm, possessing an intoxicating, alluring atmosphere most suitable for lovers to whisper sweet nothings. Yet between the two of them, there was only an awkward, silent stillness.
Ye Chen seemed to have no intention of teasing the Sixth Princess further. After a period of mutual silence, he actively stood up and turned to leave. Seeing this, the Sixth Princess couldn't help but say, "Ye Chen, wait."
Ye Chen stopped. "What else? If it's about the pursuit, rest assured, I won't take action again."
"Not that. I just want to ask you, what exactly did you mean just now? Why did you force a kiss on me?"
"You really want to know?" Ye Chen glanced at her.
The Sixth Princess nodded, her eyes sparkling, gentle as water. "I want to know."
Ye Chen said, "Because you were trying to seduce me. I just wanted to make you understand what price you'd have to pay for seducing me. Originally, I thought of stripping you naked and making you run, but in the end, I let it go. That's all."
The Sixth Princess's face instantly burned like a fiery cloud. This guy really was a scoundrel, actually thinking of dealing with her like that. She suddenly felt a sense of lingering fear. If he had really done that, she would definitely have chosen to end her life, to finish it all.
But for some reason, her cheeks suddenly flushed with shyness. After hesitating for a good while, she finally said, "Then... what did it taste like to you?"
It was a rather bizarre scene. The two were clearly enemies—one pursuing, the other being pursued. In the end, the girl had not only been seen naked but also had her first kiss forcibly taken. She should have been filled with resentment, but now, under the moonlight, they were discussing the taste of that first kiss.
"You really want to know?" Ye Chen said strangely.
Though her face was flushed red, the Sixth Princess was still full of anticipation. "I want to know."
Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "It had a fragrant scent, also a bit sweet. Felt like tasting strawberries."
The Sixth Princess's face reddened, her voice as small as a mosquito's hum. "Because I ate some strawberries not long ago."
Ye Chen suddenly understood, then also asked, "Then what did kissing taste like to you?"
"I was too nervous at the time. I didn't really notice," the Sixth Princess said, gently shaking her head.
"Then do you want to try kissing again to find out?"
"No! Men and women should not touch each other improperly," the girl refused, but her heart was stirred. After all, it was also her first kiss, and she also somewhat wanted to know the feeling of a first kiss.
Ye Chen said indifferently, "What 'men and women should not touch each other improperly'? We've already kissed, and I've already seen you naked."
When did Little Chen become so bold? At this moment, Old Yan also woke up, staring dumbfounded at all this, very surprised by Ye Chen's initiative. This guy used to be a blockhead, but now he actually dared to actively ask a girl for a kiss. It was truly rare. Had he finally become enlightened?
Old Yan was deeply puzzled but also watched everything with a mindset of enjoying the show.
"..." This scoundrel actually had the nerve to say it out loud. The Sixth Princess clenched her fists, wanting to punch him, but considering the complete mismatch in their combat power, she gave up.
But to say she wasn't tempted would be a lie. After all, it was her first kiss in life, lost so muddle-headedly. In the end, she wanted to know the true taste of a first kiss.
Finally, under the young man's coaxing, she actively stepped forward, somewhat shyly saying, "Ye Chen, close your eyes. I feel too shy if you look at me."
"Women really are troublesome sometimes," Ye Chen sighed helplessly in his heart. Hearing this, Old Yan really felt the urge to slap him. This kid simply didn't know how lucky he was.
Despite saying so, Ye Chen still closed his eyes. The Sixth Princess, somewhat bashfully, leaned closer. After gazing at Ye Chen for a good while, she finally couldn't resist, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him.
At this moment, a gentle breeze blew, her dark hair danced, and her red lips were soft and enchanting.
