Chapter 389: Aunt Qiu's First Time

The sky was dim, and the entire world seemed somber. Gu Junlin leaned on the ship's railing, gazing into the distance with a gloomy expression, much like the oppressive haze over the sea.

Standing side by side, Gu Junlin's face was obscured by his fluttering hair, making it impossible for Feng Qiusuang to discern his expression. However, from his tone alone, she deduced that he was in a bad mood.

Her little Junlin had never spoken to her in such a cold tone before. Feng Qiusuang recalled the ominous premonition she had the previous night and felt a pang of anxiety. Could it be that the matter of the Hidden Killer's master had been exposed?

"What could I possibly be hiding from you?" Feng Qiusuang's charming face remained calm as she quickly reviewed the events of the past few days in her mind, finding no loopholes.

Gu Junlin's expression darkened, and the hand on the railing tightened, veins faintly visible. He thought to himself, "Aunt Qiu, if I don't bring it up directly, will you never come clean?" This thought filled him with a mix of frustration and sadness, and his anger began to rise.

He wanted to angrily demand answers, but he held back. Aunt Qiu's favoritism towards him was something he could never repay in this lifetime. He was not an ungrateful person and would not deny all the care she had shown him just because of this matter.

Perhaps Aunt Qiu also had her own unspeakable reasons, just like how he had to deceive the Demoness in the Moon Emperor City and lie to his master now. But what reason could Aunt Qiu have for deceiving him? What unspeakable secret could she possibly have? She was the high and mighty leader of the Phoenix Clan; what rules in this world could possibly bind her?

"Could it be that she fears her impurity might disgust me?" Gu Junlin's eyes lit up, thinking he had found the truth.

His expression softened as he moved behind Feng Qiusuang and embraced her: "Aunt Qiu, I'm very interested in your past, but if you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. But what you do tell me, I hope it's all true. I trust you, Aunt Qiu, and I don't want lies between us."

After a pause, he added earnestly, "Similarly, everything I tell you is true. If you want to know anything, just ask me, and I won't hide anything."

Feng Qiusuang's soft, delicate hand gently rested on Gu Junlin's hand: "Aunt Qiu believes you."

Gu Junlin rested his chin on her shoulder, looking at her perfect profile and inhaling the mature fragrance from her neck: "Then can I trust you, Aunt Qiu?"

"Of course," Feng Qiusuang replied. "Aunt Qiu will always stand by your side, right or wrong."

"Am I really your first man?" Gu Junlin suddenly asked.

Without hesitation, Feng Qiusuang affirmed, "In my life, I've only ever loved one person. Apart from you, I've never had any intimate relations with any other man."

Gu Junlin was momentarily dazed. Aunt Qiu's response was so firm that he couldn't detect any hint of guilt. Feng Qiusuang was a natural actress, and since she was telling the truth, she showed no signs of unease.

"Little Junlin, why are you suddenly asking this?" Feng Qiusuang hesitated before adding, "Is it because there was no blood? Do you think I'm lying?"

This matter touched upon their relationship, and even the usually composed Feng Qiusuang was flustered: "Aunt Qiu really didn't lie to you. My body has only been touched by you. The reason there was no blood is because that night, I was drunk..."

Gu Junlin didn't hear the rest of her words. His mind was consumed by one word: lies! After using the Life and Death Reincarnation divine skill to dispel the aftereffects of the Heavenly Immortal's Drunkenness, his memory was crystal clear. That night, he had not crossed any forbidden boundaries with Aunt Qiu!

Gu Junlin tried to remain calm: "Aunt Qiu, whether you're a virgin or not is important to me, but it doesn't affect my feelings for you. As long as you love me now, that's enough..."

"I am a virgin, and you are my only man!" Before Gu Junlin could finish, Feng Qiusuang anxiously defended herself.

Gu Junlin was silent for a moment before smiling, "I naturally believe you, Aunt Qiu."

Having pressed her this far and still not getting the truth, he felt an indescribable sadness and disappointment. On the surface, he seemed to have let it go, but in reality, he had become extremely sensitive, magnifying every little anomaly from their past interactions.

For example, why did the pure and chaste Aunt Qiu have a mature charm similar to Lianyue's mother? He hadn't thought much of it before, but now, upon reflection, the answer was obvious. This natural, mature aura of a woman was something that an inexperienced girl couldn't imitate.

"Really, I didn't lie to you!" Feng Qiusuang emphasized again.

Gu Junlin nodded, "I believe you."

Then, he turned Feng Qiusuang around to face him, looking into her eyes: "Aunt Qiu, can you seal your cultivation for a moment?"

Perhaps because of Gu Junlin's previous question, Feng Qiusuang was anxious to gain his trust. Without asking why, she immediately complied.

Once Feng Qiusuang became a mortal, Gu Junlin suddenly lifted her delicate chin: "Aunt Qiu, you are truly a charming woman, so captivating that it makes one's heart itch."

Feng Qiusuang's enchanting eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't expected Gu Junlin to act so flirtatiously, nor had she imagined he would say such things.

In the next moment, Gu Junlin scooped her up and began walking back.

Feng Qiusuang was startled and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck: "Little Junlin, what are you doing?"

Gu Junlin strode forward with vigor: "Aunt Qiu, you have a natural seductive charm..."
