As night deepened, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao, already feeling sleepy, yawned and then walked hand in hand into the room.

After the two women entered the room, Dongfang Bubai got up and walked towards the room where the two women were.

When Dongfang Bubai slowly stepped into the room, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao were already lying down next to each other, covered with blankets, and turned their heads to look at her.

That was as if he were saying, "I'm ready."

Seeing the two women's reactions, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but pause slightly in surprise.

But with Dongfang Bubai's intelligence, how could he not guess the reason?

Therefore, upon realizing what had happened, Dongfang Bubai frowned slightly and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"That stupid woman."

Clearly, Dongfang Bubai had realized that Yaoyue hadn't had a moment's peace in the courtyard since she left.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Bubai unconsciously clenched his fist under his sleeve.

Suddenly, I felt a huge sense of loss.

After cursing inwardly, Dongfang Bubai raised his long sleeves and flicked them lightly.

The next instant, with two bursts of energy, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao on the bed instantly calmed down.

Breathing, too, became long and deep in a very short time.

Therefore, when any one of Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, or Shuimu Yinji is in Chu Qinghe's courtyard.

Insomnia doesn't exist.

I slept soundly.

After the two women's pressure points were sealed, Dongfang Bubai waved his long sleeves to extinguish the candles in their room before turning and leaving.

After returning to the courtyard, Dongfang Bubai did not sit next to Chu Qinghe, but instead sat opposite him.

With a simple glance, one could take in the entirety of Chu Qinghe's handsome face.

This was also a unique habit that Dongfang Bubai unconsciously developed when he was alone with Chu Qinghe.

After a few drinks, Dongfang Bubai said slowly, "Your visit these two times has surprised me quite a bit."

Both Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue knew perfectly well that Chu Qinghe had little interest in entering the martial arts world.

Therefore, neither Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, nor even Shuimu Yinji initially intended to disturb Chu Qinghe's peaceful life and drag him into the murky waters of the martial arts world.

Even though they had lived in their own courtyard for a while, the two women mostly went out to handle matters concerning the Sun Moon Sect and the Flower Shifting Palace, and rarely discussed them in the courtyard.

Naturally, Dongfang Bubai was somewhat surprised by Chu Qinghe's departure on these two occasions.

Chu Qinghe replied casually, "Protecting the woman beside you is only natural. What's so surprising about that?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bubai smiled slightly.

For some reason, although both times were due to the targeting by the Bad People of the Tang Dynasty, Dongfang Bubai felt inexplicably grateful to them.

If it weren't for these two schemes, Dongfang Bubai would probably never have experienced the feeling of being protected and supported.

After a moment, Dongfang Bubai said, "Also, when I leave this time, I might want to take some of the medicinal wine you brewed from your Nine-Leaf Nine-Heart Grass back with me."

Now that the Sun Moon Cult has been incorporated into the Ming Cult, its power and scale have surpassed those of ordinary first-rate forces.

With Dongfang Bubai now preparing to shift the development of his power south of the Ming Dynasty, there will likely be much to be done.

Dongfang Bubai currently doesn't even have a single Grandmaster-level martial artist under his command.

It's unrealistic to expect Dongfang Bubai to do everything alone.

The best solution is undoubtedly to add some Grandmaster-level experts to the ranks of the Sun Moon Sect to strengthen its foundation.

In response, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Just go and get it yourself when you need it."

Chu Qinghe never suspected Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue of anything in his wine cellar.

If you need anything, just let me know.

Hearing Chu Qinghe's response, Dongfang Bubai nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

A slight relaxation unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

A moment later, as if he had thought of something, Dongfang Bubai's lips curled up slightly, and his gaze fell on Chu Qinghe opposite him.

The next second, before Chu Qinghe could react, Dongfang Bubai suddenly appeared beside him.

As Dongfang Bubai appeared beside Chu Qinghe, his fingers also landed on Chu Qinghe's acupoints.

Feeling Dongfang Bubai's hand pressing on his acupoints, Chu Qinghe asked in astonishment, "What are you doing?"

Dongfang Bubai looked at Chu Qinghe with great interest and said, "Didn't you write in your storybook that the only way to repay a life-saving grace is to offer yourself in marriage? You've done well these two times, so I'm going to repay you in a way."

Chu Qinghe: "??????"

Hearing Dongfang Bubai's words, Chu Qinghe understood perfectly well Dongfang Bubai's intentions.

However, before Chu Qinghe could think further, in the next instant, as Dongfang Bubai's long sleeves swept back, extinguishing all the candles in the garden, his true energy flowed down and carried Chu Qinghe back to the main house.

However, just as Dongfang Bubai slipped into the room, his body suddenly stiffened, and his true energy rapidly dissipated.

At the same time, a hand naturally wrapped around Dongfang Bubai's slender waist.

Who else could it be but Chu Qinghe, who was just acupunctured?

Looking at Chu Qinghe, who was acting as usual, a look of doubt appeared in Dongfang Bubai's eyes.
