Even Lianxing and Shuimu Yinji came close to the little guy, and after he finished eating one, they immediately gave him another one.

Throughout the process, I kept raising my hand to touch the little guy.

Seeing this, Wang Yuyan, who was standing nearby, also had the idea of ​​getting closer to touch and tease him.

But remembering Li Qingluo's previous instructions, Wang Yuyan could only suppress her impulse and sit quietly to the side, watching.

Perhaps because it was her first time leaving Mantuo Manor, Wang Yuyan, whose mood had recovered somewhat after the previous anxiety, quickly focused her gaze on the night view of the lake.

Looking at the bright moon reflected on the lake with shimmering light, and feeling the gentle breeze blowing across the water, Wang Yuyan's eyes flickered slightly.

However, at that moment, Chu Qinghe's voice slowly rang out.

"It's getting late, and the lake breeze is getting a bit chilly. Miss Wang is frail, so it's best if she doesn't get too much wind."

Hearing the voice ringing in her ears, Wang Yuyan turned her head and glanced at Chu Qinghe, who was sitting in a chair.

After a moment's hesitation, Wang Yuyan nodded gently and said, "Thank you for your concern, Young Master Zhao."

After a brief pause, Wang Yuyan sat back down in her chair. She glanced at Huahua, who was eating bamboo in Shuimu Yinji's arms, and after hesitating for a moment, couldn't help but ask, "Sister, may I touch this little white bear (panda)?"

Upon hearing this, Jellyfish Yin Ji chuckled and said, "Alright."

Seeing that Jellyfish Yin Ji agreed, Wang Yuyan's eyes lit up with joy, and then she slowly raised her hand and reached towards Hua Hua's head.

However, just as Wang Yuyan's hand was about to touch Huahua, Huahua, who was originally in the arms of the Water Mother Yin Ji, suddenly flashed and jumped directly onto the Water Mother Yin Ji's shoulder.

After thinking for a moment, Jellyfish Yin Ji picked up a bamboo stick and handed it to Wang Yuyan: "Try it again."

Wang Yuyan nodded gently, then took the bamboo and handed it to Huahua.

But this time, when Wang Yuyan handed the bamboo to Huahua, the little guy sniffed it lightly and then jumped up onto Chu Qinghe's shoulder.

After glancing at Wang Yuyan with its two small, dark eyes, it slowly turned around, then turned its back to Wang Yuyan, and hugged Chu Qinghe's neck, rubbing its face against Chu Qinghe's neck.

Seeing that the little guy actually refused to be touched by Wang Yuyan, both Shuimu Yinji and Lianxing were somewhat puzzled.

When the girls first approached Hua Hua, they were initially evaded, but they successfully won him over when they handed him bamboo.

Instead of being rejected repeatedly like Wang Yuyan.

In response, Chu Qinghe said lazily, "The little guy is shy and doesn't like to interact with strangers. Please don't take offense, Miss Wang."

Chu Qinghe was telling the truth.

As Chu Qinghe's pet, Hua Hua was the closest to him.

The reason why Jellyfish Yin Ji, Lian Xing, and the other girls were able to get close to Hua Hua was entirely because the girls all carried Chu Qinghe's aura, so the little guy didn't resist too much.

Otherwise, why is it that among the women, only Jellyfish Yin Ji is able to hold this little guy? Isn't it because Jellyfish Yin Ji has eaten a lot of sweets and has the strongest scent of Chu Qinghe on her?

Hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Wang Yuyan smiled gently and said, "It's nothing."

However, when Wang Yuyan put the bamboo back on the ground, a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes.

After the group finished dinner and Wang Yuyan went to the cabin to rest, Jellyfish Yin Ji finally turned her attention to Chu Qinghe.

"That Miss Wang is a beauty on the Hundred Flowers List, aren't you tempted?"

In response to what Jellyfish Yin Ji said, Chu Qinghe retorted irritably, "There are so many people on the Hundred Flowers Ranking, you can't just fall in love with every single one you see, can you?"

As he spoke, Chu Qinghe said lazily, "Once we get to know you guys better, we can play together. Anyway, Madam Wang gave us a thousand taels of silver, which should be enough to last until we send her to the Valley of the Deaf and Mute, as long as you take it easy."

Chu Qinghe doesn't actually have a penchant for collecting beautiful women.

Wang Yuyan is beautiful, but even if she is beautiful, it's fine to admire her. Chu Qinghe wouldn't go so far as to rush around every pretty woman he sees.

Strictly speaking, Chu Qinghe and Wang Yuyan's current relationship is nothing more than that of employer and employee.

It doesn't need to be enthusiastic or indifferent; it should just be natural.

As for what will happen next, we'll see.

Seeing Chu Qinghe's nonchalant demeanor, Shuimu Yinji couldn't help but smile.

Immediately, Jellyfish Yin Ji opened her mouth as if to continue speaking.

However, before Shuimu Yinji could utter a sound, Chu Qinghe's voice slowly rang out.

"You've been following me for almost an hour since you came from Mantuo Manor. Aren't you tired?"

The moment the sound was uttered, it rapidly radiated outwards under the influence of Chu Qinghe's true energy, echoing above the large ship.

Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Shuimu Yinji and the other women were slightly taken aback.

But the next second, the jellyfish Yin Ji and Lian Xing and the other girls immediately circulated their inner energy and became alert.

A few breaths later, in the senses of Jellyfish Yin Ji and Lian Xing, accompanied by a slight strange noise, a man dressed in black night clothes and also covered his face flashed from one side of the ship and leaped onto the deck.

Sensing the fluctuations of true energy within the other's body, both Jellyfish Yin Ji and Lian Xing were somewhat surprised.

"Middle stage of Heavenly Realm?"
