Aromatic Flesh-Chapter 116.1: Demon Sect Leader’s Holy Maiden Concubine (8)

When Jia Ling woke up, he saw Gu Ming Yue sitting at the edge of the bed in dishevelled clothes as she gleefully played with her tangled hair.

Though he remained silent as he quietly watched her antics, his eyes seemed to be filled with shattered starlight that glowed with a tender charm.

Meanwhile, Gu MingYue seemed to be in high spirits, completely oblivious to the man lying beside her who was watching her with a doting gaze.

However, out of his sight, a glint of light flashed in her eyes and she pursed her lips as she murmured “Hungry… hungry…” while trying to stuff her hair into her mouth.

Upon seeing her actions, Jia Ling hurriedly reached out to stop her. He grasped her delicate wrists softly as he carefully rescued her silky hair from being trampled by those tender and translucent hands. “Be good, this is not edible. There will be something delicious later. Come, let’s get dressed first.” He coaxed softly in an indulgent tone.

Gu MingYue’s eyes brightened up instantly upon hearing that there would be delicious food to eat. “Delicious food! Liu Guang wants to eat delicious food, delicious food…” She clapped her hands in glee, clearly very happy as she repeated this sentence with a smile.

Jia Ling couldn’t help but smile as he watched the woman on the bed. He then reached out to pick up Gu MingYue’s clothing and dressed her up neatly. “To think that you’re so happy from such a mundane thing.” He said softly with a gentle smile.

However, even though Gu MingYue was nicely dressed, Jia Ling still did not rush to change his own clothes. Instead, he picked up a comb and lovingly began to brush her hair, which was gleaming with the lustre of black pearls. As his fingers ran through her long hair, the silky and soft sensation instantly spread through his palms, carrying a refreshing coolness.

“Such long and soft hair…” Jia Ling lifted a strand of hair to his nose, took a deep breath, and slightly intoxicated, “So fragrant… so beautiful… You are, still so very beautiful…” He murmured softly.

Gu MingYue’s fingers, hidden beneath her sleeve, trembled slightly. In fact, she found his words somewhat incomprehensible again.

Jia Ling stopped combing her hair, before gently embracing the woman from behind and tenderly kissing the black hair beside her temple. He seemed to be immersed in memories, murmuring in a voice filled with affection and a hint of relief, “No matter what, it’s good… it’s good that you are here.” He sighed deeply.

This man… His emotions seemed to be somewhat unstable again. Gu MingYue pondered as she started to squirm restlessly in the man’s embrace. Although she was baffled by Jia Ling’s words, she sensitively sensed the shift in his mood, fearing it might lead to something unfavourable if left unchecked.

Thus, twisting her body to face him, she clutched the fabric at his waist with her soft hands before tugging and shaking her body while pouting her lips: “Want something yummy… Liu Guang is hungry…”

Seeing this, Jia Ling helplessly patted her head before leaning down to give her cherry lips a quick kiss, “You little glutton, just wait a bit.” He chuckled before letting her go and began dressing himself with deliberate slowness.

Gu MingYue sat where she was, clutching her stomach and stealthily watching his expressions before breathing a sigh of relief in her heart. She hadn’t gotten up early today just to see his mood swings due to unstable emotions. To delay the discovery of Gu QingHui’s escape, she needed to stabilize his mood as much as possible.

Regardless of why he wished to be close to her, she just had to go along with it. She needed to cling tightly to him and ensnare him so that he couldn’t leave her room for a few days…

This way, Jia Ling would have no time to return to the palace and would not discover that the ‘canary’ had already flown the coop.

Although the plan was simple, she inexplicably believed it would hold Jia Ling back. This baseless confidence could probably be chalked up to a woman’s innate and extraordinary sixth sense. (Anyway, that was how Gu MingYue convinced herself.)

Indeed, the man cooperated with positive enthusiasm, and it was clear from his actions and words that he was very pleased with Gu MingYue’s change in attitude. In fact, Jia Ling had gone as far as to dismiss Jia Luo, who had arrived to help Gu MingYue with her morning washup routine, before picking up a soft damp tower to tenderly wipe her face personally.

Then, picking up a fine, soft-bristled brush dipped in toothpaste, he carefully held her chin and meticulously cleaned her teeth, his expression serious and focused.

Gu MingYue obediently opened her mouth, accepting without any mental resistance the care given to her as though she were a child. After rinsing her mouth with dew collected from lotus flowers in the morning, she breathed out fragrantly towards Jia Ling’s face, pouting her red lips and saying “Smells nice~” while he looked on in stunned silence.

Jia Ling paused for a moment, then understanding dawned on him, and the smile in his eyes flowed like shimmering water. He gave a loud peck on her lips, then lightly scraped her pert nose with his finger, chuckling softly, “It’s this version of you that’s the most well-behaved, mmm, smells sweet indeed.”

Gu MingYue tilted her head, first frowning in confusion at Jia Ling’s initial comment, then breaking into a happy smile at his next words, looking as if she understood and appearing incredibly cute.

Jia Ling smiled and patted her head again, before quickly and elegantly finishing his morning routine. He then took Gu MingYue’s hand and led her through the front hall, up the stairs to the upper platform on the side of the main hall.

There, it was yet another sight to behold.
