Chapter 495: 494 Is there something you can’t tell your husband? (Second update)

Li Xianyun’s skin, both fair and delicate, was dotted with water droplets, and through her open neckline, one could see her perfectly round and especially erect figure.

Although she was wearing a wrapped chest piece, under the drench of water, everything became undeniably apparent.

The soft garment wrapped around Li Xianyun clung tightly to her body, revealing the entire scenery, including the clear color of her skin.

Yelu Yan almost bled from his nose as he watched.

Li Xianyun noticed that Yelu Yan was staring intently at something, his eyes looking strange, and as soon as she lowered her head, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

"Flirtatious Man."

Taking advantage of Yelu Yan’s momentary distraction, Li Xianyun slipped from his grasp, leaned back, and fell into the water, then turned and swam away like a fish.

Her form was graceful, her movements elegant and skilled, as if she were a sprite born from the water itself.

When she was young and living in the village, she often swam with her friends in the lake outside.

Everyone was a good swimmer, but Li Xianyun in particular had a high aptitude; she could master in a single day what took others three or five days to learn.

The village companions often lamented that heaven was always unfair; it had given Li Xianyun a beauty that stunned the world and plenty of favors in intelligence as well.

Yelu Yan laughed out loud and dived into the water, following her.

Soon he caught up with Li Xianyun, holding her at the lakeshore and gazing down at her adoringly.

"Still thinking of running?"

With a sweet smile, Li Xianyun shook her head.

Yelu Yan, with a smile on his lips, leaned in to kiss her lips deeply, longing and inseparable.

The two of them played in the water for a while, and when Li Xianyun grew tired, Yelu Yan pulled her to the small hot spring pool nearby to soak.

Li Xianyun sat on the edge of the hot spring pool where there were special wooden stools for seating.

Once seated, the water of the hot spring wrapped around the body, just reaching the armpits, with the temperature just right, and white steam rising languidly.

Swimming depleted a great deal of physical strength, leaving one thirsty and with a parched mouth afterward.

Yelu Yan got out of the water to pour Li Xianyun a drink, but as he was about to speak, he saw her frowning and looking ahead, preoccupied with heavy thoughts.

What was she thinking about?

Yelu Yan, holding a tea cup, entered the water and sat beside Li Xianyun, handing it to her.

The water level rose instantly.

This man was truly robust.

Every part of him was large.

Li Xianyun’s face turned red instantly, and she composed herself, took the cup, and lowered her head to drink.

Yelu Yan drained his cup of tea, placed the cup on the edge of the pool, and after Li Xianyun had finished drinking, he took the water cup, "More to drink?"

Li Xianyun wiped the corner of her mouth and obediently shook her head.

Putting the cups in their place, Yelu Yan wrapped her in his embrace, kissed her cheek, and asked softly, "You look troubled; is something on your mind"

He was very concerned about Li Xianyun and could always detect anything unusual about her right away.

Seeing Li Xianyun hesitate, Yelu Yan tightened his embrace a little, "You and I are husband and wife, what is there that you can’t tell me?"

Li Xianyun’s eyes flickered, and she opened her lips slightly, "These past few days I don’t know why, but I’ve been feeling anxious, as if something bad is going to happen."

Yelu Yan reassured her, "You don’t have to worry, the informants should return soon."

Li Xianyun nodded her head, "Husband, you are well-informed, do you have some news about my family that I don’t know yet?"

Upon hearing this, Yelu Yan had no choice but to reveal Sheng Heng’s curse upon her through the pottery figurines and the attempted murder of Li Shaojun.

All these matters were dealt with by Yelu Yan’s Hidden Guard, so Ji Shi Tang (Hall of Healing) wouldn’t know about them, which was why there had been no news from them for so long.

Upon hearing this, Li Xianyun’s face turned deathly pale, and she asked, "Husband, when my father king and mother consort left, did Sheng Heng come to see them off?"

He did," Yelu Yan replied. "Sheng Heng took father king aside and said something. Tuoba Che was watching the whole time; he wouldn’t let anything happen."
