Shen Yunhao saw Ning Yuyao again seven days later.

For the past seven days, Shen Yunhao has stayed at the Shen residence and hasn't gone out much.

After hanging up the phone with Xiaobailong on the first day, Shen Yunhao had a sudden realization and finally became determined to have it all. He decided to fully embrace the "scumbag" route and used the white dragon lantern to call Zhuli again on the evening of the second day.

However... I don't know if Sister Li'er is angry, but she won't answer no matter how I call her.

Shen Yunhao was also somewhat troubled by this and suggested going to Beihai several times.

Mo Yan sneered: "It takes seven or eight days to get to the North Sea from here by flying boat. The most important thing is... now that you two are arguing, if you go there, who will pick you up? Are you going to dive to the North Sea Dragon Palace?"

"..."

That seems to make sense...

So, does that mean there's really no other way besides waiting for Zhuli to call us?

"However... you can also wait for Ning Yuyao to come and discuss it with her to see if she can take you down... Don't count on me, do you think I would use my physical body's power just to help you dive? What if this Green Vine body can't hold up and you drown in the sea? That would be ridiculous!"

"..."

On the other side, facing the frequently flashing white dragon lantern, Zhuli felt both happy and sad.

She really wanted to answer the phone, see her boy again, and talk to him... but she didn't dare.

She was terrified that Shen Yunhao would say something hurtful to her as soon as they met!

"Mother... how much longer must I wait?"

"At the very least, we need to wait until that child calms down. Mother has already sent someone to the Tianyu Dynasty to find out what's going on. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory! Li'er, don't worry..."

"But...but...Yun Hao, he..."

"If you're sure he really likes you, then you absolutely mustn't rush things! If he doesn't like you, then whatever we do is meaningless..."

"Hmm...I understand!"

So, over the course of seven days, the two didn't manage to exchange a single word...

Shen Yunhao could only hope that Zhu Li would call him soon.

Another one is the cultivation of milk tea.

Because Shen Yunhao is currently in the Body Refinement stage, his cultivation requires the assistance of the Five Elements, so his spiritual energy cultivation cannot be improved.

Milk Tea's ability as a spirit-devouring beast could not be manifested.

On the contrary, after resting in Shen Yunhao's room for a few days, Milk Tea's own cultivation level increased at a rapid pace.

Although the spiritual energy of the Devouring Beast is not outwardly apparent due to its nature, Milk Tea can still sense it herself.

Every time he sleeps, the spiritual energy in Shen Yunhao's body is completely consumed by the milk tea when he wakes up the next day... He needs to reabsorb and breathe it out.

Looking at it this way, it seems as if Shen Yunhao himself is helping Milk Tea cultivate.

After two days, Qing Teng stepped forward and spoke.

Qing Teng also wanted to crawl into her brother's bed, but she didn't want to see the white, fat cat...

After some discussion, it was decided to divide Shen Yunhao's time in half, with each person taking turns working one day.

Shen Yunhao himself felt helpless about this.

He hasn't even fully embraced the "scumbag" persona yet, but his behavior is already showing early signs.

Fortunately, after her act of pretending to be cute and silly was exposed, Milk Tea no longer had any reason to stick close to her owner while naked; if she wasn't dressed, she would be kicked off the bed.

Of course, only Milk Tea herself knows that when her owner is petting her tail, he also secretly puts his hand inside her clothes to do other naughty things...

"Consider it payment for cat food... Don't tell anyone!"

"Hehe... When Master is happy... Milk Tea is happy!"

The milk tea shop's size is between 150 and 160, which is the most exaggerated size Shen Yunhao has seen so far. Every time he gets a little advantage, he only takes a small bite and doesn't dare to go too far, for fear of making a mistake in a moment of impulse.

Whether it was vines or milk tea, he only dared to kiss and touch them, never crossing the line.

As for the reason... there's no particular reason. It's just that I feel these two girls are too young psychologically and too dependent on me. Spending time with them feels like taking care of children!

It was too early for them to say anything now, and Shen Yunhao also felt a lot of guilt.

It turns out that personality is innate, and the transformation of one's understanding of social etiquette and morality also takes time.

The path to becoming a scumbag is long and arduous.

What he can guarantee now is that he will stand firmly behind these girls when they need him.

Of course... this excludes cases of friendly fire.

For example, Qing Teng often bullies Nai Cha, pinching her little ears and pulling them for a long time...

Besides the Shen family mansion, some things are also happening outside.

The most important thing is... that imperial concubine of the Tianyu Dynasty has mysteriously disappeared.

When Shen Yunhao learned of this news, he remained silent for a long time before shaking his head.

"As expected, we've alerted them. Could it be that the Demonic Sect has spies inside the Guanghan Palace?"

Shen Wenruo came to see him the next day and asked if he could return to Hanxuan City.

"No...aren't you afraid that the snake demon will retaliate against you if you go back now?"

Shen Yunhao looked surprised.

Shen Wenruo shrugged: "My sister-in-law isn't here. Do you think I'm safe hiding at home?"

"..."

In the end, Shen Yunhao still told him to wait for Ning Yuyao to return before discussing it further, as the security inside the palace could not be guaranteed at the moment.

After the people from Guanghan Palace arrive, they will definitely conduct a thorough investigation of the Demonic Sect within the palace, and the palace's defenses will become even more stringent.

At that point, the Demonic Sect will no longer have time to care about the life or death of a mere mortal scholar.
