My Exes Are All Over The Martial Arts World - Chapter 3

The sensation of a foreign object in her mouth was so distinct that Wu Ming subconsciously pursued it, wanting to drive this intruder out of her territory.

However, her movements were too clumsy, and the other party was too agile. Instead of achieving her goal, Wu Ming accidentally became entangled with her, causing herself to lose her breath.

!!!!!

Wu Ming nearly suffocated to death. Fortunately, the attentive Hou Danxue noticed her distress and released her in time.

Seeing the obvious expression of enjoyment on the other’s face, Wu Ming felt a surge of indignation. She raised her hand to press the other woman toward her and, amidst Hou Danxue’s startled gaze, forcefully kissed her back.

Hehe! The home field has changed. This time, the unlucky one won’t be me! I’ll make her experience the feeling of suffocation too!

Hou Danxue didn’t resist at all. She allowed Wu Ming to act recklessly in her territory, leaning against Wu Ming and quietly enjoying it.

Wu Ming kissed her for a long time before suddenly remembering to check Hou Danxue’s reaction; she didn’t want to kiss her ally to death.

But to Wu Ming’s surprise, Hou Danxue showed none of the embarrassment she had felt earlier. This made Wu Ming extremely frustrated. Feeling bored, she let go of Hou Danxue.

Wu Ming wanted to get up to drink water, but Hou Danxue clung to her embrace, weighing her down. Wu Ming tried to break free from the entanglement, but Hou Danxue had already started kissing her again of her own accord.

Wu Ming was kissed until her body went soft, and unable to support herself, she fell back onto the bed once more.

Wu Ming was furious. She truly didn’t want to continue this entanglement anymore. She was very thirsty; she only wanted to drink water!

With a spiteful mindset, Wu Ming increased the strength of her grip. Hearing Hou Danxue’s seemingly pained tone, the frustration in her heart dissipated slightly.

But soon, she couldn’t laugh anymore. Her actions met with retribution—Hou Danxue clung to her tightly, like a drowning person clutching at their only hope for life. Wu Ming felt as if she were about to be strangled.

Just as Wu Ming’s patience was about to run out, Hou Danxue’s strength suddenly slackened, and she slumped weakly against Wu Ming’s body.

After the struggle, their clothes were disheveled. Her body was pressed tightly against Wu Ming’s, and Wu Ming could feel the dampness clinging to her own skin.

Her body was entirely covered in her scent…

Wu Ming felt terrible again. Was she now completely and utterly “soiled”?

The purity she had preserved for eighteen years—had it just vanished like that?

She hadn’t even waited for her wedding night! She hadn’t even seen a glimpse of the Spirit Bamboo she originally wanted, yet she had sacrificed so much!

What a loss! A total loss! A massive loss!

Wu Ming’s heart was filled with tragic grief. She wanted to push Hou Danxue aside to get water, but to her frustration, even a slight movement caused a tremor through her body.

They were pressed together without a gap. Because the ripples caused by Wu Ming’s movement made Hou Danxue spirited again, she hugged Wu Ming tightly.

Having been stimulated, Wu Ming didn’t want to move anymore, allowing the other to wrap around her like a water snake.

However, Hou Danxue seemed to have found a source of amusement. She constantly tested Wu Ming’s limits. Wu Ming felt that if this continued, she would go into a “cultivation deviation” from the intensity of her exploding emotions.

No! This can’t go on! This is too terrifying! I have to escape! I must escape!

Wu Ming discovered that Hou Danxue was quite persistent in this matter. Her grip was very strong, and Wu Ming couldn’t break free from her for the time being.

Wu Ming could only think of a way to make Hou Danxue’s strength vanish again.

She resorted to her old trick, but after experiencing it once, Hou Danxue’s threshold had increased. Wu Ming had to attempt more techniques.

Finally, she succeeded. Her spirit surged with the success, and then she felt the dampness that was about to submerge her.

Hou Danxue was the ocean, and she could only be considered a small stream.

But they were both water; there was no difference. The ocean and the stream would merge together.

Wu Ming felt as if her spirit had been tainted by Hou Danxue’s; she had completely lost her strength as well.

Fortunately, her martial arts foundation was excellent. Even though she was exhausted, she could still shakily stand up to find water.

Supporting herself against the table, Wu Ming grabbed the teapot and gulped it down. Having lost so much fluid, she was truly dying of thirst. Only now did she feel a sense of coming back to life.

Feeling refreshed, Wu Ming looked back at Hou Danxue. The other woman had been pushed onto the bed and was lying there weakly, but her eyes were constantly following Wu Ming. As soon as Wu Ming looked at her, their eyes met.

Hiss… she looks so pitiful.

She had lost much more fluid than herself; she must be much thirstier, right?

Even though Wu Ming’s current weakness was caused by her, Wu Ming still felt a sense of pity for Hou Danxue. She grabbed the teapot, intending to feed her water.

Hou Danxue was so weak she didn’t even have the strength to swallow. The water simply trickled down from the corner of her mouth.

Wu Ming had no choice but to take a sip of water herself and pass it to her.

Perhaps because she had no strength left, the other was unexpectedly submissive. Wu Ming couldn’t help but linger for a long time.

Sensing that the other had recovered a bit of strength, Wu Ming immediately let go.

“I’m going to call for water…”

“You are unwell right now. It is better if I go.”

Wu Ming turned to leave, but Hou Danxue’s hand hooked onto her clothes. Wu Ming’s already loose clothing simply slid to the floor.

“Wait… get dressed… before I become the Head of the Family… play your role well…”

A strange surge of frustration rose in Wu Ming’s heart. She didn’t want to mention their deal at a time like this!

Moreover, she didn’t want to be a man at all.

During her years of wandering, even though being a man would have made her life much easier, she had never given up her identity as a woman.

Those who looked down on her or were hostile to her because of it—if they were men, she killed them.

She didn’t kill women, because when she was weak, it was the older women, one after another, who pitied her and helped her, allowing her to survive and for her talent to manifest.

The great love within women was far greater than that of men. She often wondered: if women were the dominant ones in the world, would the world be a much better place?

“When can I go back to being a woman!”

“Soon. After our grand wedding, I will be able to access the core of the family. Soon, I will become the Head of the Family, and you, naturally, will be the Madam. The wealth of the Hou family will be yours to use.”

Hou Danxue had recovered a bit; her speech was no longer intermittent, and she began “painting a cake” (making empty promises) for Wu Ming again.

“There is a Spirit Bamboo in your dowry. On the wedding day, I want to see that Spirit Bamboo!”

Wu Ming felt she had lost too much. She no longer accepted verbal promises; she needed Hou Danxue to provide some tangible benefits.

In any case, her lightness skill was decent. Once things went south, she could cut her losses in time, take the existing benefits, and leave.

“Fine…”

Hou Danxue wasn’t aware that there was such a Spirit Bamboo in her dowry. Since she hadn’t noticed it, she assumed it wasn’t anything very important. She could get it without waiting for the wedding.

Satisfied, Wu Ming dressed and walked out the door. There were maidservants guarding outside; seeing Wu Ming come out, they approached.

“The Miss needs water.”

They had only been cuddling and lingering together without making much noise, so the people outside didn’t know what had happened.

“I worked up a sweat during the match earlier; I also need water.”

The maidservant left to carry out the order, and Wu Ming wandered around the vicinity.

She looked at the other rooms in the courtyard and found that there was no place for her to stay.

So, where did Hou Danxue intend to place her?

She couldn’t possibly make her sleep in a storage room, right?

Actually, she wasn’t picky—she could sleep in the wild—but as the future Madam of the Hou family, how could she sleep in a storage room!

Now that her status was different, her requirements were naturally different.

Once Hou Danxue became the Head of the Family, she would surely have to allocate a courtyard for her Madam, right?

Hee, she was about to live the life of an upper-class person.

While Wu Ming was wandering, several older maids arrived carrying water. They entered Hou Danxue’s room, and Wu Ming followed them in.

There was actually a bathing pool in Hou Danxue’s room, which she hadn’t discovered before because it was hidden.

“Miss, where am I sleeping tonight?”

If she were treated carelessly, it would prove that the other’s heart wasn’t sincere about the cooperation. Wu Ming would take the Spirit Bamboo and leave.

Hou Danxue waited until everyone in the room had withdrawn before answering Wu Ming’s question.

“You will naturally stay with me. Only then will your identity not be exposed.”

“Miss… isn’t this against etiquette? Can the people of your family accept this?”

“Grandmother won’t go so far as to openly stop us. The thoughts of the others don’t matter.”

Wu Ming felt a bit awkward; she was somewhat afraid of staying with Hou Danxue.

Whenever they were together, the development of things would spiral out of control. She… became less like herself. This feeling of losing control made Wu Ming very uncomfortable.

Hou Danxue was the greatest danger factor. Facing her, Wu Ming had to expend all her energy.

While Wu Ming was dazed, Hou Danxue had already entered the pool.

“Didn’t you say earlier that you wanted water?”

“Are we… washing together? But I already told the maid…”

“Do you think there’s another room in my courtyard where you can use water? Or do you want to wash out in the open…”

Wu Ming knew she had no choice. She couldn’t stand the sticky sensation, so she could only enter the pool as Hou Danxue wished.

They were face to face, meeting each other with total honesty so abruptly.

Previously, the light in the room had been dim, and Wu Ming could only see vaguely, so she didn’t feel much.

Now, Wu Ming felt that looking anywhere was inappropriate, so she could only keep her head raised stiffly.

Hou Danxue let out a light laugh. Wu Ming suddenly realized the laughter was extremely close. She had actually approached her without Wu Ming sensing it.

It shouldn’t be like this. Where was the alertness she had forged through blood and rain?

If Hou Danxue were her enemy, she would have already revealed too many flaws and would be dead for sure.

Hou Danxue wasn’t her enemy, but she had a firm grip on her.

Wu Ming’s swimming skills could only be described as average—the level of not dying if she fell into water.

And Hou Danxue, who Wu Ming felt was very much like a water snake, became even more troublesome once in the water. Wu Ming was completely unable to handle her.

She couldn’t be this passive anymore!

Fortunately, Wu Ming’s strength was greater. After some effort, she gained a slight upper hand.

“Miss, aren’t you tired?”

“I am tired, but… when I see you, I can’t help myself.”

Wu Ming felt stifled. She began to doubt the martial arts she practiced.

Old Mother Heaven, I shouldn’t be practicing some kind of charm technique, right?
