Peng Nana glanced around the simple courtyard, an idea popped into her head, and she excitedly tugged at Tu Longjian's sleeve:

"Your place is too small, and there are always people making noise around you."

"You think I'm noisy?" Fang Milu pointed to herself, her face full of anger.

She really hated this woman. She had tried to steal Gan Xiuming from her before, and now she was badmouthing her in front of Chunxiang.

"Why don't you come and live with me? My cave dwelling is huge, and the spiritual energy is pure!" Peng Nana deliberately ignored Fang Milu and said to Tu Longjian.

"Don't even think about trying to abduct Chunxiang! Our courtyard may be small, but we have... we have a fellow villager like me. This is the warmth of home, unlike your cold and impersonal cave dwelling!"

Fang Milu stamped her foot and said urgently.

"Cold and icy? My cave dwelling is built of the finest mystic stone, and the floor is paved with white marble. It's located in the area with the richest spiritual energy on Danfeng Peak, and you call it cold and icy?"

Poonana dismissed it with disdain.

Tu Longjian rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. How did Long Aotian's harem suddenly turn to her?

Suddenly, she sensed a furtive figure loitering at the door.

Which little tyrant is this now?

"Come out," Tu Long said coldly.

Ye Yuchun walked in with an awkward smile, a bundle hidden behind her back.

"It's Fellow Daoist Ye. What brings you here?" Tu Longjian asked casually.

Strange, wasn't Ye Yuchun driven away by Gan Xiuming under her deliberate inducement? What is her purpose in coming to visit now?

Ye Yuchun was currently arguing with the Green Tea System in her mind.

Green Tea System: Are you out of your mind? If you failed in your conquest, you failed. Why did you go and give this woman gifts? Did you expect her to give you the position of a concubine?

Ye Yuchun felt wronged: Those men are too selfish and hard to win over; they would never genuinely like me.

Ye Yuchun: Besides, I don't want to date him at all, and I don't want to fight with another woman for a rotten cucumber.

Ye Yuchun: I heard that Chunxiang got first place. She's beautiful and strong. I might as well try to get on her good side.

Green Tea System: ...Are you even on the same level as them? They're high-level green tea, they'll devour you until there's nothing left.

Ye Yuchun said weakly: I feel like she's not a bad person. Let's give it a try. And if it succeeds, I can also promote my milk tea business. What? The number one milk tea is being drunk by everyone!

Green Tea System: You're hopeless...

Tu Longjian looked at Ye Yuchun with a puzzled expression, which kept changing from aggrieved to excited, as if she had a split personality.

She discreetly moved away a bit. She'd heard that some people become brain-dead from being in love, and what if he was coming to take revenge on her? Although she wasn't afraid, it was still a little terrifying.

After Ye Yuchun unilaterally persuaded (speechless) the Green Tea System, she excitedly took out the bundle behind her and prepared to open it.

Fang Milu, who was arguing with Peng Nana, noticed Ye Yuchun's extremely excited smile and knew something was wrong.

Isn't this that low-class green tea bitch? I heard she was kicked out by Gan Xiuming. Could there be explosives in her bag?

Oh no, Chunhyang is in danger!

Seeing Fang Milu's nervous expression, Peng Nana understood perfectly, and the two exchanged a knowing glance.

So, just as the bundle was about to be opened, Peng Nana quickly threw out her Rainbow Silk to wrap it up, intending to throw it out of the courtyard.

Fang Milu lunged at Tu Longjian, shouting, "Watch out!"

Ye Yuchun stared in disbelief, then cried out in a panic at the bundle that had been flung into the air, "Ah! My milk tea!"

milk tea?

Upon hearing this, Tu Longjian raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his hand and released a burst of icy spiritual energy to freeze the bundle in mid-air. Then, he spun his palm, and the bundle, now frozen into an ice block, landed steadily in her hand.

Poon Na-na's eyes lit up; Chun-hyang was indeed skilled.

He actually mastered the ice and snow element with the talent of having five spiritual roots.

She said that winning first place couldn't be just a matter of luck, otherwise why wouldn't that kind of luck come to her?

Tu Longjian looked at the bundle with a playful expression, weighed it in his hand, and asked Ye Yuchun, who had turned pale, feigning ignorance, "Milk tea, what is that?"

Oh, no wonder she found Ye Yuchun so strange; was she actually a modern time traveler?

[There was a non-human biological fluctuation just now; I detected an AI being. She has an AI called the "Green Tea System," which is probably why she's close to Long Aotian.]

Xiaoyi said in her mind.

So that's how it is. She had thought this confidante was too easy to defeat; she must have been forced into the relationship by the system, not doing so willingly.

Tu Longjian's expression softened, and he looked at her with deep eyes.

Ye Yuchun wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, staring longingly at the ice block in Tu Longjian's hand, as if afraid it would be thrown away again, before finally speaking:

"Um, milk tea is a beverage that I developed, made from milk and tea."

"I brought this especially for you to try; it's the most perfect recipe I've ever tested."

Oh, it's not explosives.

Fang Milu was about to pounce on Tu Longjian when she found that Tu Longjian remained unmoved.

She leaned against Tu Longjian's shoulder as if petrified, awkwardly burying her face in the crook of his neck.

Oh no, she misunderstood! How embarrassing!

Hmm, this fragrance smells quite nice.

Have you had enough?

Hearing Tu Longjian's somewhat displeased voice, she suddenly realized what was happening and jumped back, her face slightly flushed.

"Ahem, is your drink poisoned?" Fang Milu asked curiously as she saw Ye Yuchun open her bundle, picking up the teapot to examine it.

"How could it be poisonous? I wouldn't dare harm the boss," Ye Yuchun quickly waved her hand.

Then she confidently took the teapot and poured a cup into each teacup.

"Let me try it first, it's delicious." She tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp. It has to be said that after being chilled, it tasted even more like real milk tea.

Ye Yuchun handed another cup to Tu Longjian, looking at her expectantly.

Tu Longjian stared at the teacup; the liquid inside was enticingly colored, and a gentle sniff revealed its aroma.

Fang Mi swallowed hard, picked up a glass and took a small sip. She found it smooth and delicious, and the chilled texture made her feel refreshed.

"May I have another drink? I'm sorry for the misunderstanding earlier," Fang Milu said somewhat apologetically.

Peng Nana also took a bite, and her eyes lit up.

Seeing that the three of them were fine after drinking, Tu Longjian lowered his head and took a small sip as well.

The aroma of tea mixed with the sweetness of milk, and perhaps because she hadn't eaten modern food in so long, she was somewhat moved.

Ye Yuchun happily refilled each of their glasses, muttering to herself:

"I run a shop selling this kind of products back in my hometown. This is just a basic recipe. Unfortunately, there are some new recipes that I haven't been able to implement yet."

"It's delicious, so delicious!" Fang Milu patted her shoulder and said.

"Hey, Poonana, don't secretly drink the last cup by yourself."

"I didn't steal it, I wanted to give it to Chunxiang."

"I don't believe you, you're drooling!"

"No...no, I'm a lady! Just one sip each, you should drink less."

Laughter and cheerful voices echoed from the courtyard. Tu Longjian watched the girls playing and laughing together, and a smile appeared on his lips.
