Chapter 96: A sprinkle of NSFW

That night Han Xin who rarely dreamt of anything found himself in the middle of a vivid dream. If he had known that feeding Peng Xiu medicine would result in this, he would have handed the task to someone else.

In the dream he was standing at the banks of the hot spring, surrounded by the lush forest. The mist was swirling and rising, obscuring his vision, but he knew he wasn’t alone. There was a familiar figure in the mist.

"Your Highness?" he called out, his voice echoing through the forest.

The figure emerged from the mist, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw her clearly. Her wet silk dress was clinging to her frame accentuating her contours. However, her face was blurry, and Han Xin couldn’t make out her features which he thought was weird. He walked towards her, the water of the hot spring rippling as he stepped in.

When he stood in front of her, he was dazzled. His heart was beating uncontrollably his body brimming with anticipation. The feelings were so vivid, like they were his true emotions.

In the dream he found himself reaching out, his hand brushing against her warm skin as he touched her face. Like a cat, she moved her head slightly, rubbing against Han Xin’s palm.

Suddenly, she turned to leave disappearing into the thick mist but Han Xin wasn’t satisfied. He caught her wrist and pulled her back fearing that she would vanish into thin air and never return. His thumb rested on her lip as he wrapped his other arm around her waist, pulling her closer.

Her body was firm and toned, with no curves, but Han Xin liked it. He loved the feeling of her body in his arms. He caressed her back, his big palm sliding over the fabric of her dress.

"Can I kiss you?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Peng Xiu looked at him, her eyes shining with desire. She nodded and in a soft voice she said, "You can do whatever you want to me," and Han Xin’s heart skipped a beat as he leaned in, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. His other hand slid down her body, cupping her firm ass as he deepened the kiss. It was just a dream but Han Xin was startled by his own brazenness.

She moaned, her body pressing against Han Xin’s eagerly as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Han Xin could feel the heat in his body rising. The heat spread down south and his hardness that had never risen for anyone before rose to the occasion, straining against his pants.

He ground his hips against hers and he couldn’t bring himself to stop no matter how hard he tried. It felt so good. He wanted her, needed her, and he wasn’t going to let this opportunity slip away.

He broke the kiss, his lips trailing down her neck as he nibbled and sucked on her sensitive skin. She gasped, her body trembling as his hands roamed over her body. Han Xin’s fingers caressed her flat chest, which was even better without the potatoes. He reached for the knot holding her dress together and tugged at it.

As it loosened her long sleeves slid down her shoulders revealing her clavicle. Just as he was about to peel that dress off of her, she pressed her hand against his chest and pushed him away while saying, "Xin-ge, not here," but her voice sounded different. He looked up to meet her gaze, and as though struck by lightning, his eyes flew open, his heart pounding in his chest.

"Shit," he swore as he sat up. The remnants of his dream clung to him like a shroud. Why did her voice deepen and her face morph into someone unrecognisable? Her delicate features had been replaced by those of a handsome young man with smooth skin, red lips and enchanting phoenix eyes.

He was seriously starting to question his mental state. Not only did he have a spring dream about Peng Xiu, but her face turned to that of a young man he had never seen before. He had never met him, but there was something familiar about him.

Han Zhan who was sleeping on the other side of the carriage stirred, his hand instinctively reaching for his sword. "What’s happening? Are we under attack?" he asked his voice sharp. His eyes scanned the shadows for threats ready for battle.

"Nothing," Han Xin muttered, trying to steady his breathing. "Go back to sleep."

Han Zhan hesitated, his grip on the sword tightening before he finally relaxed and lay back down. His cousin wasn’t easily startled. He was calm even in the face of danger on the battlefield, so why was he now jumping like a cat after being startled by a cucumber? "You are going out?" he asked and Han Xin hummed while putting on his robe. "Don’t stay up late," added Han Zhan before shuffling in his bed and pulling the quilt over his head.

Han Xin needed to clear his head and cool off the small one. The cool night air greeted him as he walked to the nearby river. He peeled off his clothes not even bothering to fold them neatly like he always did. He plunged into the water. The cold shock cooled the heat in his body, but it did nothing to calm the turmoil inside of him.

He realised that Peng Xiu was like poison, seeping into his thoughts and dreams, gripping him with an intensity he couldn’t shake. That kiss was now the death of him. It was like a bewitching spell drawing him closer.

He couldn’t bring himself to accept that he was interested in her, that she had such a hold over him. The water rippled around him as he swam, trying to wash away the confusion and desire that plagued him.

But even in the cold embrace of the river, he couldn’t escape the truth. Peng Xiu was under his skin, and no amount of water could cleanse him of her.

Han Xin rode through the dense forest, the shadows of the trees stretching long in the fading light. He was riding fast the weight of his existential crisis bearing down on him. He had left the camp at dawn unwilling to face her.

He had sent people to track down the person responsible for the sleeping thorn poison but chose to join them in tracking the bastard before sunrise. His presence wasn’t necessary but he chose to join them in the chase. Because he knew that this person was following them, he wasn’t afraid that they would have long left.
