Just then, Xu Lei's hands reached out, covering Zhao Xin's ears.
"Hmm?" Zhao Xin froze, her lovely eyes instinctively turning to Xu Lei.
Xu Lei froze as well.
He then realized he had overstepped.
"Cover your own ears."
Xu Lei pulled his hands back and transmitted his voice, "You're still in your stage of celibacy and emotional abstinence."
"Don't listen to those lewd sounds, or your spiritual resolve may waver!"
"I'll listen."
"If the Spirit Monster reacts, I will strike!"
Zhao Xin nodded obediently. She raised her fair, delicate hands, plugging her ear canals with her fingers and covering her ears with her palms.
Her lovely, shimmering eyes blinked as she gazed at Xu Lei's profile. He was listening intently to the sounds from the next room.
She noticed his Adam's apple bob as he swallowed hard.
She realized that as Xu Lei listened to the intense struggle next door, his own heart was likely far from tranquil.
