Wang Ruyan followed suit, her features mirroring her sister's but with a touch more sternness. "We appreciate you taking us in."
The introductions completed, a comfortable silence fell upon the group. Xia Bingling and the two aunts engaged in polite conversation, inquiring about the journey and exchanging pleasantries.
Wang Yaqi and Wang Ruyan took the lead, peppering Xia Bingling with questions about the Xia Family and their well-being.
Xia Bingling, ever the gracious hostess, answered their inquiries politely, subtly praising her "guest," Wang Li, for his helpfulness and pleasant disposition.
"We're very glad Li found a comfortable place here," Wang Yaqi remarked, her eyes twinkling. "It seems he's been a great help to you, Madam Xia."
"That is correct," Xia Bingling declared, her eyes twinkling. "Considering that he will be the future son-in-law of my family, I'd say I'm quite pleased with his conduct."
Both aunts beamed with pride. They had heard nothing but good things about Xia Bingling from their nephew, and her words further solidified their approval. A flurry of praises followed, directed towards Wang Li, who tried his best to deflect the attention with a bashful smile.
Meanwhile, Xiangyi couldn't help but nudge Wang Li with her elbow, her voice barely a whisper. "Wow, Li," she teased, "seems like you've made quite the impression on Madam Xia. Future son-in-law, huh?"
Wang Li chuckled, returning the playful nudge. "Let's just say things are… interesting," he replied, lowering his voice.
Wang Li leaned towards her and asked in a low voice, "So, Xiangyi, how did things go while you guarded the aunts at the secluded estate?"
Xiangyi's eyes lit up at the mention of her task. Leaning closer, she whispered back, "Things were pretty boring for the most part, you know, the usual cultivation routines and guard duty. But there was some exciting news from Ning Yue."
"Oh? What did she say?" Wang Li's curiosity piqued.
"She contacted me a few days ago," Xiangyi explained. "Apparently, she's been incredibly busy concocting the Core Strengthening Pellets and the Nascent Soul Condensation Pellets that you requested. She's already sold a good bunch of the previous batch and earned quite a lot of spirit stones! She wants to send our share of profit."
"Really?" Wang Li raised an eyebrow, impressed by Ning Yue's efficiency. "That's fantastic! Did she say anything about needing more herbs or resources?"
"Yes, actually!" Xiangyi replied. "She's running low on some key ingredients and wants to know if we can provide her with more."
A sly grin spread across Wang Li's face. "Well, that's where things get interesting," he began, lowering his voice even further. "Now that I have the Xia Family's support, acquiring resources won't be a problem anymore. In fact," he continued, his eyes gleaming with a plan, "why don't you send a communication talisman to Ning Yue? Tell her to come here, to the Xia Family Manor."
Xiangyi's eyes widened in surprise. "Here? To the Xia Family Manor?"
"Exactly," Wang Li confirmed. "Tell her she can have all the herbs and resources she needs to continue her work."
The conversation in the reception hall continued for a while longer, with small talk and polite inquiries. Finally, as the first stars began to twinkle in the darkening sky, Xia Bingling graciously excused herself. "It's getting late," she announced. "The maids will show you all to your respective guest rooms. Please, don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."
Soon, the maids of the Xia Family Manor ushered Wang Yaqi, Wang Ruyan, and Wang Xiangyi to their respective guest rooms. Each room was elegantly furnished, offering a haven of comfort after their long journey.
Wang Xiangyi, eager to get things in motion, wasted no time. As soon as the door shut behind the maid, she whipped out a communication talisman.
With practiced ease, she imbued it with a recording detailing Wang Li's proposition for Ning Yue.
"Hey, Ning Yue," Xiangyi's voice crackled through the talisman. "It's Xiangyi. Guess what? We're not at that boring secluded estate anymore. We're at the Xia Family Manor! Crazy, right?
And Li has a fantastic idea. He says you can come here, to the Xia Family Manor, and they'll provide you with all the herbs and resources you need to keep making those awesome spirit-restoring pellets! Seriously, you can set up your whole alchemy workshop here. Li even said you can have whatever you need. Pretty cool, huh? So, come on down whenever you're free.
Can't wait to see you!"
With a satisfied nod, she sent the message off. Realistically, it would likely take Ning Yue a week or two to arrive as leaving the alchemy workshop immediately wouldn't be wise. Ning Yue would need to finalize some urgent tasks before making the move.
With the message sent, a restless energy pulsed through Xiangyi.
It had been nearly two weeks since her last encounter with Wang Li, and her body craved the electrifying intimacy they shared.
With a determined glint in her eyes, she left her room and headed for Li's chambers.
The Xia Family Manor was vast, but the helpful maids had readily provided her with directions. A few twists and turns later, she stood before Li's door. A nervous flutter tickled her stomach, but she knocked confidently.
"Come in," Li's voice echoed from inside.
Xiangyi pushed open the door, a mischievous grin spreading across her face as she saw him. He looked up, surprise giving way to a smile as warm as the setting sun. She shut the door behind her with a soft click, their eyes locking in a wordless conversation.
In a whirlwind of movement, Xiangyi crossed the room as her arms wrapped tightly around Wang Li. The force of the embrace sent the two of them tumbling onto the plush bed. Laughter tinged with breathlessness filled the air as they wasted no time in shedding their clothes.
"Xiangyi!" Wang Li exclaimed, surprised by her sudden boldness.
"It's been too long, Li," she breathed against his neck, her voice laced with a husky desire. Her hands began a slow exploration, tugging at the embroidered edges of his robe as she started to strip him.
A mischievous smile spread across Wang Li's face.
He knew exactly what she was feeling, the suppressed longing mirroring his own. With a playful swipe of his hand, he loosened the sash of her travelling cloak.
Xiangyi's breath hitched as she took in the sight of his toned physique, a vision etched into her memory.
He, in turn, was captivated by the generous curves of her body, the way the firelight danced across her sun-kissed skin.
"Tonight," Xiangyi declared, her voice husky with anticipation, "you won't leave this bed until I'm completely satisfied."
The night unfolded in a blur of heated passion. They explored each other's bodies with a practiced intimacy, their movements a language understood only by them. One moment, Wang Li would be on top, his strong hands exploring every inch of her curvaceous figure, drawing gasps of pleasure from her lips.
The next, Xiangyi would take control, straddling him with a confident smirk as she expertly maneuvered him to her every whim.
The room echoed with their sounds – laughter, moans, and whispered endearments. They explored every position imaginable, each one pushing them closer to the edge. Wang Li's strong hands Spanks landed with explored and had their fun with Xiangyi's curves as he spanked her alluring buttocks with playful yet arousing force, making her arch her back and cry out his name.
The night wore on, marked by the rising and falling of bodies, the rhythmic slapping of skin on skin. They surrendered to their primal instincts, each climax leading to another wave of desire. Even as the sun cast its first tentative rays through the window, their bodies continued their dance, fueled by an insatiable hunger.
Twenty, thirty – the number of climaxes became irrelevant. It was about the connection, the raw passion that coursed through their veins. By the time they finally collapsed onto the bed, utterly spent, with smile gracing both their faces.
Xiangyi's head nestled against Li's chest. His arm wrapped around her protectively, his rhythmic breathing a lullaby against the backdrop of the rising sun.
Despite the aches and soreness blooming across their bodies, a contented smile spread across their faces. The raw lust had been replaced by a deeper sense of fulfillment, a love that went way beyond just the physical.
As sunlight flooded the room, bathing them in its golden glow, Li stirred. The warmth of Xiangyi's body was a comforting weight against him. He peeked down to see her still fast asleep, her face peaceful and serene.
He could still feel his cock nestled deep within her pussy, which could be considered a lingering reminder of their wild night.
A soft smile played on his lips as he traced a gentle finger along her cheek.
Xiangyi stirred and snuggled closer, her face nuzzling against his chest. The silence spoke volumes, a testament to the deep connection they shared after the storm of passion had passed.
"Wow, Xiangyi," he whispered, his voice husky with sleep, "you were a total beast last night. Like, seriously insatiable."
A sleepy grin tugged at Xiangyi's lips as she cracked open an eye. "Someone had to make up for lost time, right?" she teased, her voice thick with sleep and a hint of playful defiance.
