RPDPHW Chapter 50

At this moment, Zhong Shujin’s ever-changing expression looked rather amusing.

After placing down the needle pouch and oil lamp, Gu Qingyin tilted her head with a smile and asked, “What are you thinking about? Your face keeps changing like a mask performance!”

By now, Gu Qingyin had already drawn out three silver needles, holding them between her fingers and passing them through the flame of the oil lamp.

Seeing this, Zhong Shujin immediately understood what Gu Qingyin intended to do.

She suddenly felt a bit aggrieved and unwilling.

“I’ve already taken off my clothes!”

“Mm, that makes it easier for me to administer the acupuncture later.” Gu Qingyin’s eyes curved into a smile as she scooted closer. With her free hand, she tugged at the blanket that Zhong Shujin was tightly clutching and coaxed, “Be good, lift the blanket.”

Zhong Shujin refused, stubbornly gripping the blanket even tighter. She fumed, “Acupuncture? Then why did you take off your clothes too?!”

At this moment, Gu Qingyin was only wearing her inner garments and pants, with nothing underneath. A slight lean forward would easily reveal the scenery within.

She casually adjusted her loosely draped collar but made no effort to cover up the exposed view. “Well, we’re going to sleep afterward anyway. If I wear something, I’ll just have to take it off again later—such a hassle.”

Hearing this, Zhong Shujin suddenly felt incredibly frustrated.

So, the reason for undressing wasn’t for anything suggestive, but just for convenience in acupuncture and sleeping?!

Still clinging to a sliver of hope, she asked, “So… what exactly are you planning to do now?”

“Give you acupuncture, of course!” Gu Qingyin wiggled the silver needles in her hand and looked at Zhong Shujin. “Isn’t it obvious?”

Only now did Zhong Shujin realize—she had completely misunderstood the situation earlier…

She actually… misunderstood…

And misunderstanding something like this was just too humiliating!

Her face flushed red. Biting her lips, she wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, spun around, and turned her back to Gu Qingyin in embarrassment. “No need for acupuncture! I feel perfectly fine now! Let’s just sleep!”

Left with no choice, Gu Qingyin set the silver needles aside and decided to soothe this little sect leader who was throwing a tantrum.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Qingyin climbed onto the bed and, through the blanket, wrapped Zhong Shujin in her arms. Leaning close to her ear, she asked softly, “Weren’t you fine just a moment ago? Why are you suddenly upset?”

Her warm breath brushed against Zhong Shujin’s ear.

Instantly, Zhong Shujin’s face turned an even deeper shade of red. She squirmed her shoulders and protested, “Go away! Don’t touch me!”

Gu Qingyin shifted slightly, but instead of moving away, she pressed Zhong Shujin beneath her, trapping her firmly in her embrace.

With the restless little thing finally secured, Gu Qingyin freed a hand to gently pinch Zhong Shujin’s chin, tilting her face up for a closer look.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk… Your face is ridiculously red.”

Zhong Shujin glared at her, eyes filled with frustration.

Gu Qingyin chuckled softly. Her fingers trailed downward, brushing against Zhong Shujin’s burning-hot neck.

With just that slight touch, Zhong Shujin gasped in surprise.

She hadn’t even done anything yet, but her body was already reacting.

Gu Qingyin’s eyes curved into a smile. Before Zhong Shujin could say anything to cover up her flustered state, Gu Qingyin had already leaned down, capturing her lips in a kiss.

It was only when Zhong Shujin’s struggling weakened, and she hesitantly draped her arms around Gu Qingyin’s neck, that Gu Qingyin finally ended the kiss. Resting her forehead against Zhong Shujin’s, she gently caressed her hair and whispered with a teasing smile—

“Let me guess… why is your face so red, hmm?”

Zhong Shujin huffed and pinched Gu Qingyin’s ears, firmly refusing, “No way!”

Though she was still putting up a front, her struggles had already ceased. It seemed she was in a much better mood than before.

During that earlier kiss, Zhong Shujin had completely forgotten about clutching the blanket.

So, with just a slight tug, Gu Qingyin easily pulled the blanket away from between them.

In an instant, Zhong Shujin’s body was left bare, fully exposed to Gu Qingyin’s gaze.

“Hey!—Mm…!”

Zhong Shujin gasped in shock, but before she could say more, Gu Qingyin silenced her with another kiss.

She instinctively tried to push Gu Qingyin away, but the words that followed made her want to dig a hole and bury herself inside.

“Ah-Jin, you’re wet.”

Gu Qingyin’s hand rested in the soft, hidden place between her thighs, gently grazing over the dampness. With a teasing lilt, she asked, “So this is, why wouldn’t you lift the blanket? Tell me, Ah-Jin, what exactly were you thinking about just now?”

The teasing in her voice was unmistakable.

What could she have been thinking about… to end up like this?

Zhong Shujin’s flush deepened, spreading all the way down to her neck. Squirming beneath Gu Qingyin, she pushed at her in embarrassment and frustration. “It’s all your fault! Get off me! Don’t touch me!”

What was she thinking about?

Of course, she was thinking about her!

But her resistance lacked real strength. How could she possibly push Gu Qingyin away like this?

Gu Qingyin didn’t budge an inch. Instead, her hand trailed upward, coming to rest on Zhong Shujin’s feverishly warm waist. She chuckled softly and whispered—

“Are you sure… you don’t want this?”

Her hands had already wandered there, yet she still wasn’t doing anything—Zhong Shujin was absolutely furious!

“No, no! I don’t want you anymore!”

“Ah-Jin, why do you always say one thing and mean another?” Gu Qingyin wrapped her arms around Zhong Shujin’s waist, stilling her restless movements. Taking advantage of the moment, she leaned in, pressing their foreheads together and rubbing against her affectionately before whispering, “Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing. Be good and don’t move around anymore. Otherwise… I really won’t be able to hold back.”

Her breath had become heavier, carrying a hint of restraint.

Only then did Zhong Shujin realize that their chests were tightly pressed together, and the soft mounds on her chest were being squished by Gu Qingyin, making them ache and swell.

She was instantly outraged.

Who asked you to hold back?!

“Back when I told you not to touch me, you never listened! But now—Gu Qingyin, you’ve changed! Have you fallen for someone else?!”

A woman’s tears always came without warning.

Just like now—Zhong Shujin suddenly felt inexplicably aggrieved.

“Tell me! Are you thinking about that handsome young master from Feiyun Manor right now? You bastard! You must have fallen for someone else! You used to act like you couldn’t wait to devour me, but now all you want to do is stick needles in me! I don’t want you anymore! Get off! Get off! Don’t touch me!”

Just moments ago, she had been all fiery and fierce, and now she was sobbing pitifully, catching Gu Qingyin completely off guard.

“Silly Ah-Jin.” Gu Qingyin sighed helplessly, wiping away her tears with a tender touch. “Do you really not know how I feel?”

“I don’t! I don’t know anything!”

When a woman’s upset, logic goes out the window.  It’s not just a lack of logic; sometimes she can twist anything to fit her narrative.

So what do you do?

If you don’t want to lose her, you spoil her rotten!

Especially seeing Master Zhong’s displeasure, Gu Qingyin knew exactly what had upset her.

She gently took Zhong Shujing’s wrist, checked her pulse, then retrieved the discarded quilt and covered them both.

“There, there,” she murmured, kissing away Zhong Shujing’s tears.  “I know you’re hurting. Let me make it up to you, okay?”

“I’m not!” Zhong Shujing sobbed, pushing Gu Qingyin away. “Leave me alone!”

But Gu Qingyin wasn’t about to listen.

She kissed her, slowly, from the corner of her eye to her lips, tasting her tears, then gently nibbling at her cheek and lips.

Her touch was incredibly tender, utterly captivating.

Soon, Zhong Shujing’s sobs subsided, and she returned the kiss, her response more urgent than Gu Qingyin’s gentle approach.

Gu Qingyin’s hand found its target.

Without preamble, she entered, the wet heat welcoming her.  A few teasing strokes around the entrance, then a finger slipped inside, filling the emptiness.  She whispered in Zhong Shujing’s ear, “Better now?”

Zhong Shujing let out a soft moan of pleasure, then urged, “Move…”

Gu Qingyin chuckled and obeyed.

This time, there was no normal intensity.

Gu Qingyin fought back the urge to devour her, content to simply hold her neck with one hand while working her other hand below.

She didn’t dare touch any other part of her.

She was afraid that if she did, she wouldn’t be able to stop.

Unlike her usual demands, this time, she was simply relieving Zhong Shujing’s overwhelming desire and discomfort.

After two releases, Zhong Shujing finally felt comfortable.

She weakly wrapped her arms around Gu Qingyin’s neck, closing her eyes and letting Gu Qingyin hold her up, letting her wipe away the remaining dampness.

But instead of pulling her close to sleep as usual, Gu Qingyin…

…Stuck a few silver needles into her…

Needles?

Was she still thinking about needles at this time?

Zhong Shujing’s eyes widened in surprise.

“You! So you did all that… just to give me needles?”

“Don’t move.” Gu Qingyin held Zhong Shujing with one hand, while the other continued to pull out two silver needles, accurately piercing the acupoints on Zhong Shujing’s back without looking. She said in a deep voice, “Your internal energy is in chaos, and there’s still residual blood from the backlash. If it’s not cleared out, the consequences will be serious.”

“I… uh…”

Zhong Shujing hadn’t even voiced her complaint before Gu Qingyin silenced her with a kiss.

“Wait, weren’t you going to give me needles? What’s going on?”

“There, there, sit up straight.”

Gu Qingyin didn’t delve deeper into the kiss, merely a fleeting taste before pulling back and guiding Zhong Shujing into a cross-legged position.

“Don’t overthink it. We can do that later, once you’re healed, okay?”

Naked and forced to sit cross-legged, Zhong Shujing felt incredibly frustrated.

She turned her head away, letting out a soft hump, refusing to acknowledge Gu Qingyin.

After treating the acupoints on her back, Gu Qingyin inserted two more needles into Zhong Shujing’s shoulders.

Next, it was time for the front.

Seeing the lingering flush on Zhong Shujing’s skin, Gu Qingyin’s throat tightened.

Especially when she saw the liquid seeping from between Zhong Shujing’s thighs, her throat constricted even further.

The bedding beneath Zhong Shujing was now damp.

Gu Qingyin’s hand, holding the needles, trembled.

Just as she was about to continue, Zhong Shujing, who had been looking away, suddenly turned her head, meeting Gu Qingyin’s intense gaze.

“Qingqing,” Zhong Shujing purred, a seductive smile playing on her lips. “Do I look beautiful?”

Perhaps caught off guard by Zhong Shujing’s unexpected move, especially while she was still upset, Gu Qingyin was momentarily stunned.

Every glance, every smile, was captivating. How could she not be beautiful?

Gu Qingyin’s heart pounded, almost overwhelming her with the urge to pull Zhong Shujing down.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t I look beautiful?”

As Zhong Shujing spoke, she nonchalantly scratched an itchy spot near her chest.

The gesture was enough to set Gu Qingyin’s heart racing.

“Beautiful,” Gu Qingyin pulled Zhong Shujing’s hand down, holding it in hers.  She lowered her gaze and whispered, “Ajing, don’t tempt me.”

There was a hint of pleading in her voice.

Zhong Shujing chuckled.

“Did I tempt you? Then, why are you still resisting?”

Zhong Shujing reached out to embrace Gu Qingyin, but Gu Qingyin firmly grasped her wrists, preventing her from moving.

“Don’t move,” Gu Qingyin said, worried that Zhong Shujing’s movements would dislodge the needles in her shoulders.  She fought back the overwhelming desire that threatened to consume her, holding Zhong Shujing’s hands still before quickly inserting needles into her Shencang and Yunmen acupoints.  “Let’s focus on the task at hand.”

“You…”

Before Zhong Shujing could finish, Gu Qingyin pressed her hands against hers, transferring some of her internal energy.

Zhong Shujing’s internal energy surged.

“Close your eyes, calm your mind, don’t wander.”

Now, Zhong Shujing finally had no energy left for her mischievous thoughts.  This was a crucial moment, and she didn’t dare cause trouble.  She immediately followed Gu Qingyin’s instructions, carefully regulating her breath.

With Gu Qingyin’s guidance, Zhong Shujing successfully coughed up a mouthful of stagnant blood.

Gu Qingyin then removed all the needles and wiped the blood from her lips.

Zhong Shujing felt a surge of energy, her body feeling refreshed and invigorated.  She tested her internal energy and discovered that the blockage caused by the backlash had cleared completely.

Clearly, her internal injuries had almost completely healed thanks to Gu Qingyin’s treatment.

After the treatment, Zhong Shujing had completely forgotten that she was naked.  Realizing she was feeling better, she immediately jumped up and hugged Gu Qingyin, excitedly exclaiming, “Qingqing, you’re amazing! It usually takes me so long to recover, but you’re so incredible, you managed to heal me so quickly…”

Before she could finish, Gu Qingyin pressed her down onto the bedding.

“Do you know what it means to reap what you sow?”

Zhong Shujing was taken aback.

“You were tempting me just now.”

Hearing this, Zhong Shujing’s eyes widened in surprise, meeting Gu Qingyin’s burning gaze.

This meant…

“Now, there’s no need to hold back.” Gu Qingyin eagerly captured Zhong Shujing’s lips, her hands roaming over her body, seductively whispering, “It’s time to collect my fee.”
