The afternoon rest is slow and tranquil. Unlike the people of China, the people of Y country are not accustomed to taking afternoon naps. The sunlight shines on the busy people, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Xie Wei and the other two arrived at the mall. Since Li Ning would be staying at Xie Wei's apartment long-term, Xu Daiwei suggested taking Li Ning out to buy some daily necessities, clothes, and shoes. After all, Li Ning's nighttime outfit was simply unsuitable for wearing during the day.

At this moment, Li Ning was still wearing the clothes that Xu Daiwei had paired with her: a light green top, half of which was tucked into white shorts, and white socks tucked into black pearl shoes, making Li Ning appear both aloof and adorable.

Xu Daiwei, on the other hand, wore the opposite outfit: a white T-shirt tucked completely into a black pencil skirt, black stockings and matching boots, her hair clipped up with a shark clip, leaving only the ends of her hair for contouring her face, exuding a sexy charm amidst her cuteness.

In contrast, Xie Wei had a messy head of hair, the ends of which slightly covered his eyes. He wore only a simple black and white shirt and black and purple basketball shorts, with slippers on his feet. He kept yawning and stealing glances at the pretty girls on the street. His simple and sloppy appearance infuriated Xu Daiwei.

Passersby occasionally stole glances at Xie Wei and his two companions, thinking that Xu Daiwei and Li Ning were very pretty, while Xie Wei, who was alright, had a regretful expression on his face, as if a good cabbage had been eaten by a pig.

Some self-assured guys even shamelessly approached the two beauties, expressing their desire to have dinner with them in fluent British English.

Xu Daiwei directly took Xie Wei's arm, looking at the man who had come to flirt with her, hoping he would back down. Li Ning, finding it troublesome, followed Xu Daiwei's example and took Xie Wei's other arm, not even giving the man a glance. Xie Wei, on the other hand, acted as if it were none of his business, lazily yawning and enjoying this double blessing.

Xie Wei used to think that the claims online about girls being able to shop in malls all day without getting tired were just exaggerations. But now that she's experiencing it firsthand, she realizes just how grueling it is.

Feeling the increasing amount of things in his hands, and watching Xu Daiwei dragging Li Ning around buying things, not even noticing that it was past lunchtime, Xie Wei felt his stomach growling, his mind wandering aimlessly.

It's one thing for Li Ning to be able to run so fast, after all, she's a cultivator. But what's wrong with Xu Daiwei, this little girl? She's just an ordinary person, yet she can shop so much.

Sometimes you can't help but marvel at how amazing women are. They might not even be together in the morning, but just a few hours later they're picking out clothes for each other, holding hands, and shopping for each other. It's truly unbelievable.

It was quite late when Xie Wei and the other two returned home after dinner. Xie Wei put the things hanging from his arm onto the sofa and the floor, then collapsed onto the soft sofa, feeling refreshed and full of energy again.

The people Xie Shengyu sent to the company were all elites, including some former employees, and things were going very smoothly. At the meeting, those old guys were full of praise for Xie Wei.

After a rough estimate, Xie Wei figured he could finish things here and return to China before the Lunar New Year, which put him in a great mood. However, considering Li Ning's situation, it meant Xie Wei had to make sure Li Ning passed the current assessment before returning home, otherwise he wouldn't be able to gain this favor.

Thinking of this, Xie Wei immediately sat up and began to copy the mental cultivation method of "Taiyin" for Li Ning.

"Knock knock knock," came a knock at Li Ning's door. Li Ning opened the door and found Xie Wei there with the copied cultivation manual.

Under Li Ning's questioning gaze, Xie Wei slowly said, "This is the mental cultivation manual I gave Xiao Wei this morning. It will help your cultivation." After saying that, he handed over the manual.

Li Ning was a little surprised, but still reached out and took it, flipping through it. The handwriting was flowing and elegant, showing great skill. Upon glancing at the content, Li Ning only glimpsed a small part, but he immediately gained insight, marveling at the exquisite nature of this mental cultivation method.

Seeing the slight shock on Li Ning's cold face, Xie Wei knew that his purpose had been achieved, and he wanted to go back to take a bath and go to sleep.

But Li Ning stopped him, saying, "It's precious, we can't accept it."

Xie Wei smiled faintly, "Great! Looks like I'm indebted to you." "I've already copied it down, and I've given it to you, so don't waste it."

Li Ning was left standing alone at the door, staring blankly at Xie Wei's back. Li Ning knew Xie Wei's identity from Xu Daiwei, but she was still surprised that he would teach her such a precious mental cultivation technique.

Among the people she had killed in the past were not only wealthy young men, most of whom appeared to be polite and refined gentlemen, but were actually tyrannical, ignorant, and licentious.

This was the first time Li Ning had met someone like Xie Wei, who pretended to be a lecherous scoundrel on the surface but was actually gentle and considerate. Her eyes couldn't help but show a bit more curiosity.

After some thought, she accepted Xie Wei's gift, returned to her bed, sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and silently recited the incantation. Moonlight shone through Li Ning's window, revealing the shock on Li Ning's face when she opened her eyes. Her cultivation speed had increased, and her foundation was also constantly improving.

After learning the truth, Xie Wei didn't blame himself but kindly let him stay and gave him such a good cultivation technique to help improve his strength. Li Ning couldn't understand why Xie Wei was so kind to her. 'Could it be that he likes me?' The thought made Li Ning blush, and she shook her head, deciding to pass all the tests first before thinking about this question. Time for bed.

The moon seemed speechless at the girl's guess and had no choice but to hide in the clouds and stop eavesdropping on her thoughts.

The next morning, Xie Wei saw Li Ning with dark circles under her eyes. The thoughts she had last night had taken hold and she couldn't stop them; Li Ning's mind was filled with the idea that Xie Wei might like her, and she stayed up until dawn.

Just as she was about to go out for a drink of water to calm down, she bumped into Xie Wei, who was already awake. Xie Wei was wearing an apron in front of the refrigerator, preparing to make breakfast.

Hearing the door open, Xie Wei turned around and saw Li Ning with dark circles under her eyes, staring blankly in his direction. He walked closer and reached out to touch Li Ning's forehead.

"Did you overdo it with your cultivation last night and damage your brain?" He touched Li Ning's dark circles again. "Even if the cultivation technique is too good, you can't cultivate this late."

As Li Ning watched Xie Wei approach, her mind was still preoccupied with the thought, "This person likes me, what should I do?" Xie Wei's actions startled her. 'Why is he so direct?'

Her pretty face flushed red, she turned and went back to her room, closing the door and leaving behind only two words tinged with panic and anger: "Catch up on sleep."

Xie Wei was utterly bewildered by Li Ning's behavior. "So irritable? Can cultivators even have 'that' anymore?"

It's common knowledge that female cultivators' bodies, after undergoing cultivation and conditioning, shouldn't experience problems due to qi and blood stagnation. Xie Wei couldn't understand what was going on either; anyway, Xu Daiwei had little wings, so she should be fine.

Xie Wei didn't pay much attention to this matter, while Li Ning in the room acted like a little girl, with the shyness of a killer girl.

No one would have guessed that the seemingly cold and aloof beauty assassin has a very dramatic inner life.
