"I know you’re itching to touch. Go ahead and touch while you sleep - you’ll rest more soundly that way."

She shifted closer, lowering her gaze as she spoke softly near Yino’s face.

Beneath the cotton blanket, Yuyan slightly bent and raised one of her legs, actively guiding Yino’s hand to her thigh to feel the texture of her black stockings.

In the deep night, Yino lay on his side with the beautiful woman sleeping peacefully beside him, her gorgeous eyes gently closed.

But what excited Yino most wasn’t just this - most incredibly, Yuyan had actively raised her leg and let Yino keep his hand on her thigh while sleeping.

This was absolutely unbelievable.

Yino suspected something was off with how things were unfolding, not quite understanding why Yuyan suddenly treated him so well.

However, after his initial excitement, thinking carefully, Yino realized he’d actually slept holding her black stocking-clad legs before, after the Mountain Temple battle. Back then he’d slept until dawn embracing her leg, so strictly speaking, Yuyan letting him touch her leg tonight wasn’t that unusual.

But unlike before when he’d passed out unconsciously for most of that time, now Yino was wide awake as he touched her thigh.

"Just like last time, your hand is always so restless..."

At some point, Yuyan spoke softly.

Yino startled, feeling guilty since he’d just been unconsciously moving his fingers.

But when he looked up, Yuyan still had her eyes closed, merely gently pressing her hand over his fidgeting one beneath the covers.

"It’s late tonight, hurry and sleep. Don’t be so impatient - in the future, I will give you many more chances to touch when you stay at with me," Yuyan advised indulgently, keeping her beautiful eyes closed.

She seemed to understand Yino’s thoughts perfectly, able to analyze his intentions just from the subtle movements of his hand on her thigh.

At her words, Yino gave up struggling. Find more to read at Lokepub

As Yuyan said, he was being impatient. Thinking this was a rare opportunity, the hand on Yuyan’s leg kept wanting to move up and down.

However, since Yuyan had put it that way, even though his heart still raced, Yino forced down his desires.

Actually, Yino wasn’t as sexually frustrated as before, having recently released with Yuebai and the others.

So controlling his desires wasn’t too difficult - it just depended on whether he wanted to.

"Mm... then I’ll sleep."

Yino shifted slightly, finally withdrawing his thoughts from Yuyan and closing his eyes, emptying his mind completely.

Yuyan stayed silent, just holding his hand while squinting slightly in the darkness, secretly observing his sleeping face.

But to Yuyan’s surprise, Yino really kept his word. Just minutes ago his little hand had been restless, and Yuyan had felt her heart flutter at his touching and squeezing sensations. She’d even thought that if she let Yino keep caressing and kneading her thigh, something would inevitably spark between them tonight.

So feeling this was inappropriate, Yuyan spoke up, but Yino actually closed his eyes and fell right asleep.

Now Yino slept soundly.

Logically, Yuyan should sleep too.

But every time she closed her eyes, she remained acutely aware of the warmth on her thigh. Even though Yino’s hand just rested there motionless, the touch and temperature made Yuyan hyper-conscious.

Time passed unknowingly.

Yino slept peacefully while Yuyan lay awake.

With no choice, Yuyan waited until Yino was asleep to quietly remove his hand from her thigh, then turned over to face away from him.

This way, not seeing Yino’s face, her heart could be at peace.

Yuyan finally felt sleepiness building.

But just as she grew drowsy, the boy behind her suddenly rolled over and embraced her-

"?!!"

Honestly, Yuyan startled badly. Feeling his embrace instantly cleared her gathered drowsiness.

She thought Yino was doing it deliberately, but when she turned her head to observe his sleeping face, Yuyan noticed beads of sweat on his forehead as his brows furrowed, seeming to endure something frightening.

Only then did Yuyan realize Yino was having a nightmare.

"Liuli..."

"At this point... you’ve already lost, resistance is futile..."

Through the haze, Yuyan heard the boy muttering against her back.

[Liuli?]

[I think I’ve heard that name before - should be that evil sect’s holy maiden Yanran mentioned...]

Yuyan pondered what kind of dream Yino was having.

But as her mind raced, she suddenly felt warmth against her lower abdomen.

Yuyan lifted the blanket to look down, finally noticing she was lying on her side while Yino hugged her waist from behind. The boy’s yang-energy-filled warm palm naturally rested on her belly as he pressed his chest to her back like hugging a pillow.

Honestly, Yuyan wasn’t sure what kind of dream would make Yino cling to her like a sloth from behind.

But it wasn’t hard to guess.

Embracing usually symbolized a lack of security.

Combined with the evil sect holy maiden’s name Yino had muttered, Yuyan could roughly deduce he was dreaming about his battle with her in the Azure Forest.

The evil sect’s holy maiden was also a rare Nascent Soul powerhouse.

Clearly, Yino must have suffered greatly against Liuli, experiencing an intense battle. Now he held on so tightly because he was dreaming of the critical moment.

….

"Wangxue..."

"Go pacify the ancient tree demon’s emotions, Liuli’s evil techniques are basically contained..."

At some point, the sleeping boy muttered two more lines.

Yuyan listened quietly, so focused on analyzing Yino’s dream plot that she seemed to forget the intimate position of being held so close.

[Seems he first had Wangxue calm the ancient tree demon’s rage...]

[Then Yino personally fought Liuli, and these "evil techniques" he mentioned must refer to her plans...?]

Yuyan continued pondering.

But she hadn’t noticed how the youth’s embrace made her skin temperature rise steadily at her abdomen.

Gradually, Yuyan also felt hot from being held, her breathing growing rapid as her body subtly began to sweat.

Sweating was actually always rare for Yuyan.

With her innate Frost Holy Physique, Yuyan’s body was usually ice-cold and rarely sweated, but now she discovered the yang energy in Yino’s body far surpassed her own yin energy.
