Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Jiang Shengyi's Heartfelt Words, An Awkward Situation
"Sister Shengyi, is everything alright?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"Jiang Rou must have told you about the Jiang family matters, right?" Jiang Shengyi said.
"Yeah, I'll visit Grandpa at the Jiang family in a few days," Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
Then, silence enveloped them.
Jiang Shengyi bit her lip and spoke, "Thank you for the lecture the other day. It was very inspiring."
Jiang Shengyi was a congenital Dao Embryo, naturally attuned to the grand Dao.
And Jun Xiaoyao's lecture that day had indeed been a great help to her, like a word awakening someone from a dream.
"When did Sister Shengyi start being so polite? I remember during the Yuan Tian Treasure Hunt, Sister Shengyi was chatting with me freely, without any distance," Jun Xiaoyao said lightly.
He wouldn't fawn over any woman and had no ulterior motives towards Jiang Shengyi.
However, the current attitude of Jiang Shengyi towards him made Jun Xiaoyao feel a bit strange.
After all, before this, Jiang Shengyi had been very friendly to him, chatting and laughing, occasionally flashing a beautiful smile.
She gave off the vibe of a kind and gentle neighbor big sister.
But now, she deliberately avoided Jun Xiaoyao and rarely smiled.
"Do... Do I?" Jiang Shengyi's beautiful face looked a bit unnatural.
"If I've done something to make Sister Shengyi dislike me, please feel free to say it. I don't mind," Jun Xiaoyao said bluntly.
"No... No, how could I dislike you!" Jiang Shengyi quickly refuted, as if afraid of Jun Xiaoyao misunderstanding her.
"So, the reason is..." Jun Xiaoyao hesitated.
Jiang Shengyi tightly gripped her jade-like hands, feeling like a seasoning bottle had been overturned in her heart, a complex mix of emotions.
If she really hated Jun Xiaoyao, Jiang Shengyi would feel relieved.
But unfortunately, liking him was even more terrifying for her.
Even though she was only Jun Xiaoyao's nominal aunt.
Even though there was almost no close blood relation between them.
Even though in this world, marriages between blood relatives were quite normal.
But Jiang Shengyi found it difficult to express her feelings.
Moreover, the Jiang family even wanted her to be a matchmaker, pairing Jun Xiaoyao with Jiang Luoli.
How could Jiang Shengyi bring herself to compete with Jiang Luoli for a man?
It was unacceptable to her.
Looking at Jun Xiaoyao's perfect handsome face in front of her, Jiang Shengyi couldn't utter a word.
When Jun Xiaoyao was in the lower realm, how could Jiang Shengyi not have missed him?
At this moment, Jiang Shengyi's picturesque face bore a repressed expression, with a hint of委屈, making people want to hold her in their arms and cherish her.
Even Jun Xiaoyao was taken aback, sensing Jiang Shengyi's emotions.
Although Jun Xiaoyao sometimes acted like a dense guy, he was actually very perceptive.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to manipulate women like Bai Yuer, Wu Mingyue, and Su Ziqiong with ease.
"Could it be?" Jun Xiaoyao was surprised by this possibility.
And just then, Jun Xiaoyao suddenly felt a rolling heat flowing out of his body, a mysterious fire rising from his abdomen.
"What's this?" Jun Xiaoyao's face changed slightly.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shengyi also noticed the abnormality.
She suddenly felt hot all over, as if flames were flowing through her blood.
That terrifying heat made Jiang Shengyi want to shed her clothes.
"What's... What's happening to me?" Jiang Shengyi was momentarily confused, feeling dizzy, and her crystal-clear fairy-like face was covered with a blush.
When she looked at Jun Xiaoyao again, the emotions she had been trying to suppress grew like weeds.
This confused Jiang Shengyi herself.
"Could it be the tea?" The only possibility Jun Xiaoyao could think of was the two cups of tea.
There must have been some kind of indescribable drug in the tea.
"That girl Jiang Luoli..." Jun Xiaoyao finally figured it out.
He also understood why Jiang Luoli had looked guilty and unnatural before.
At that time, Jun Xiaoyao hadn't thought too much of it.
Now, it seemed that the innocent-looking girl had dangerous intentions towards him.
"How reckless," Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.
He wasn't against the drug, but it was simply unnecessary.
Now, it had backfired.
Jun Xiaoyao was okay since he had only sipped a few mouthfuls.
But Jiang Shengyi had drunk the entire cup of tea.
"Sister Shengyi, there's a problem," Jun Xiaoyao just began to speak.
A fragrant and soft body bumped into his embrace.
Jiang Shengyi, with her flushed face, mesmerizing eyes, slightly open lips, and breath of sweet warmth, said in a daze, "Xiaoyao... I feel a bit strange..."
"Sister Shengyi, can you suppress it with your magical powers?" Jun Xiaoyao asked helplessly.
He tried to suppress it with his magical powers but found it difficult.
Jun Xiaoyao was alright since he hadn't consumed much, still able to maintain his composure.
But Jiang Shengyi couldn't.
As a woman, she had weak resistance, and she had consumed a lot.
Moreover, the most important thing was that the object was Jun Xiaoyao.
If it were another man, even if Jiang Shengyi were affected by the drug, she would still try to stay clear-headed.
But facing Jun Xiaoyao, Jiang Shengyi had been struggling and hesitant in her heart.
The drug was like a fuse, igniting the buried feelings of Jiang Shengyi.
"Xiaoyao, when you were in the lower realm, I kept thinking about you, but Luoli went down, and I couldn't follow."
"I don't know why, maybe it's because of the resonance between the congenital Dao Embryo and the Ancient Saintly Body, or maybe it's something else..."
"I don't know how to face you..."
"I thought that maybe by keeping my distance, I could gradually let go..."
"But in the end, I found that I still couldn't let go, so I came to find you..."
As Jiang Shengyi spoke, her body pressed tightly against Jun Xiaoyao, stretching out her jade-like arms to embrace Jun Xiaoyao's neck.
Although Jun Xiaoyao was only fourteen years old, he was tall and slender, like a jade tree.
Jiang Shengyi was already quite tall, but she was still half a head shorter than Jun Xiaoyao.
"Sister Shengyi, you..." Jun Xiaoyao was stunned.
He wasn't a holy monk or a man of unshaken virtue like Liu Xiuhui.
As a time traveler, his mindset was definitely not just fourteen years old; he was an experienced person.
However, Jun Xiaoyao had his own principles and wasn't someone easily led by his desires.
Otherwise, with Jun Xiaoyao's status, having thousands of women would be easy.
Which woman hadn't been tempted by his body before?
Bai Yuer, Wu Mingyue, Su Ziqiong...
But Jun Xiaoyao didn't fancy any of them.
Not every woman could take Jun Xiaoyao's virginity.
Jun Xiaoyao wasn't focused on this right now.
But the current situation embarrassed Jun Xiaoyao.
After all, Jiang Shengyi was his nominal aunt, and although there was no blood relation, it seemed to have a bad influence.
Jun Xiaoyao could still barely suppress the drug's effect.
But Jiang Shengyi couldn't suppress it; her mind felt like it was burning.
She had always had unclear feelings for Jun Xiaoyao, and now with the drug's enhancement, it was impossible for her to resist.
Jiang Shengyi's eyes were like autumn water, mesmerizing, lifting her picturesque face, offering her red lips and pressing them against Jun Xiaoyao's.
"Dammit, why am I always the one being forced?" Jun Xiaoyao couldn't help but complain internally.
Before this, Jiang Luoli had also forcibly kissed him, and now it was Jiang Shengyi's turn.
