Chapter 412 How to Win a Woman's Heart
"Forget about being a good girl for now, you need to get moving!"
A flash of water revealed Shrimp Bro's furtive face. He must also be somewhere with water; the sound of water could still be faintly heard in the background.
Brother Shrimp earnestly advised: "I've told you before, to win a woman's heart, you can't just rely on showing weakness and acting cute. You have to use strategy!"
Yan Xi didn't take it seriously and reached out to hang the water mirror. But Brother Xia had already anticipated this and quickly spoke up:
"Think about it! Even though you're always hanging around in front of Karin, how many times has Karin actually chosen you... cough cough, well, how many times has she gone on a date with you alone?"
"You're the most handsome and strongest among this group, are you really willing to accept this?!"
"And look at that hypocrite Lianzhuo. One trip to the snow mountain wasn't enough; he hasn't even returned yet, and he's already booked the next trip with Huali. Huali is going out with him again next month. What do you call that? Using stillness to control movement."
Yan Xi paused, his hand outstretched in the air.
Brother Shrimp said with a heavy heart, "And then there's that sly Wen Jin, who keeps quiet but does big things. Hua Li went out with him a couple of days ago. Let me tell you, that kid must have gotten a lot of benefits, otherwise how could he give Tuo Wu Xi Wu a vacation? Can you believe how good that is?"
Yan Xi lowered his hand and leaned forward slightly.
"And then there's that repressed pervert Luo Chuan, his cunning is just as good as yours. He managed to steal Hua Li away right under your nose, and with his nine tails, he flaunts himself like a peacock every day. But! All of these people have mastered one key skill!"
"That's the strategy of feigning indifference to lure the enemy in!"
Yan Xi's pupils focused, his attention completely absorbed.
As Shrimp Bro walked towards the hot spring pool, he asked, "Have you read 'The Cold-Faced Immortal Lord and His White Moonlight,' which I just gave you a few days ago?"
Yan Xi reached out and rubbed his temples.
Shrimp Bro: "Speak!"
Yan Xi: "...I saw it."
Shrimp Bro walked through a small bamboo grove. "What's Chapter Three about?"
Yan Xi: "...Running away with the baby?"
"That's right, this is a classic example of playing hard to get, or you could call it 'he runs away, she chases, and he can't escape.' The key is to maintain an appropriate distance, keeping her hooked by being neither too close nor too distant."
"If you could really seduce Huali Se like the female lead seduces the male lead, and then run away with her pregnant, I guarantee Huali could turn the entire cultivation world upside down, just like that cold-faced immortal lord in the book."
Shrimp Brother's gaze slid from Yan Xi's slender neck to his flat abs, like an old woman criticizing her useless daughter-in-law, "But the problem is you're not good enough."
Yan Xi's forehead vein throbbed.
"So, Little Fish, you have to disappear for a bit first," Shrimp Bro said as he walked away.
In front of him was a huge open-air hot spring pool. The scenery was beautiful, with birds singing and flowers blooming.
Several burly men were soaking in the pool, and they all looked over when they heard the noise.
Brother Shrimp casually greeted them, not even noticing their terrified expressions:
"Wait until Huali comes looking for you, and after she misses you three times in a row, then you 'just in time' walk out of the place she's been looking for. Oh, and remember to take a peach blossom with dew on it; that will create a better atmosphere."
"There's a right way to say it: ideally, she'd turn around in her dejection and bump right into your arms."
Brother Shrimp squatted down to test the water temperature, and it was just right.
"That way..."
"Splash—"
The loud sounds of water rose and fell in waves.
The next second, seven or eight muscular men scrambled out of the hot spring, clutching their bodies as they fled.
Shrimp was startled and was about to look up—
"Aaaaaaah!!"
The male cultivator closest to him suddenly shrieked, pointing at him with his pinky finger raised, "Help! Something's happened—"
Yan Xi coldly closed the water mirror.
"Three times is too much, once is enough."
*
As the richest person in the cultivation world.
What is the most important thing? It must be never forgetting our roots.
Do not refrain from doing something just because the reward is small.
Although her main business now is selling spiritual plants and treasures, pearls still make up a large portion of her income.
That unlucky Li Yuan, after saying those words, is now too afraid to go dig for pearls in the Cangming Sea.
It's not that I'm afraid of him, but if he dares to pester me, I could punch him into an Indian flying fish with one punch.
The main problem is how he started to pester her. If those five jealous people found out about it... tsk, it would be the death of them.
"If I didn't know his personality, I would have suspected that he said that on purpose so that I wouldn't be able to go dig for pearls in the sea," Huali speculated with a petty mind.
Ao Bai twisted his little robe. "That's also possible."
"But where did that little bird go?" Huali paced back and forth, glancing at Aobai repeatedly. "Why did you suddenly get dressed?"
Although black is slimming, this vest is clearly a size too small, and when worn by Ao Bai, who is as big as a truck, the effect is... quite mismatched.
Ao Bai subconsciously turned around to lick his fur, and a wet drool stain instantly appeared on his vest.
Ao Bai: "......" That's about right.
The cat, a germaphobe, couldn't stand it for even a second; the moment its little paws scratched, the marks on the cat disappeared in an instant.
From Huali's perspective, the Meow King, sitting like this, looks like a little toad from all sides.
It's fine if you don't mention Huali, but mentioning Aobai makes me furious!
Meow King, it's dirty.
The key point is that it can't be mentioned, because this matter would damage the majestic image of King Meow Meow.
Wen Tingyun! Ao Bai was so angry that the fat cat transformed.
It hasn't even held the little female kitten's paw yet.
You almost turned it into a eunuch?!
You're in big trouble, kid!
"What's wrong with you? Constipated?" Seeing Ao Bai glaring and not saying a word, Hua Li considerately took out a banana: "Want some?"
Ao Bai suddenly revealed his claws.
Feeling a little smug, Huali grinned contentedly. She bent down, picked up the Meow King, and ruffled its fur a couple of times. "I understand, I understand. The kid's grown up and has learned to protect his privacy."
The two, a person and a cat, talked as they walked and soon arrived at Yan Xi's courtyard.
A luxurious swimming pool? No.
An indoor garden? No.
Even his usual sunbathing terrace? It wasn't there.
"Strange, the birds are usually here, where did they go today?"
Of all these people, Yan Yue is the most carefree. First, he doesn't have a corporation to manage things. Second, he doesn't have any nagging elders around him. Third, he doesn't have to worry about money.
You can exchange pearls for gold just by reading a touching storybook.
The pinnacle of a bird's life.
Therefore, given how long the house has been built, Yan Xi's right to use it is definitely the longest.
And Huali got used to it; whenever she came to see Xiaoniao, he would look at her with a smile.
After a two-second silence, she looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said, "Oh dear, I'm going to get separation anxiety."
Ao Bai glanced at her and said, "You're quite something."
*
Yan Xi hid under the phoenix tree, water droplets still clinging to his long, deep blue hair. He watched the little girl bustling about in front of and behind the house, a smile flashing in his eyes.
It turns out that this is what my little benefactor was like when I wasn't around.
Yan Xi silently counted the opportunities, and after watching the little girl circle around several times, the fingertips that were twirling the peach blossom branch paused.
The opportunity has arrived.
As soon as his little benefactor sighed again, he would appear from the misty fog, the flower branch in his hand brushing just past her ear, and he would whisper softly behind her ear...
Sure enough, the next second, Karin looked up and sighed, "I think I have separation anxiety..."
Yan Xi's eyes lit up, and a smile immediately appeared on her lips. She subconsciously straightened her already neat clothes and took a step to leave.
"Small......"
"Forget it, since we can't find anyone anyway, let's go eat first!"
Yan Xi, who had just uttered a breathy sound, thought: "...?"
Without a second's hesitation, Huali picked up Ao Bai and turned to leave: "Didn't the young master say he was coming back today? Let's invite him along. Food tastes better with more people."
Yan Xi: "!!!"
Shen Yu?
His fingers, which were holding the flower branch, suddenly tightened, and water droplets mixed with crushed flower juice trickled down from his palm.
Yan Xi immediately wanted to go out, but as he lifted his foot, reason returned, and he quickly took out the communication stone.
Hot springs and bamboo forest.
Having successfully scared off several people, Shrimp Bro claimed the large pool for himself. Just as he was enjoying a relaxing bath, his communication stone suddenly lit up.
After reading the above content, Brother Shrimp immediately opened the chat box with Huali.
"Hey girl, I just heard that pearls are going to go up in price, and lots of people are rushing to buy them. Where are you?"
Huali: "At home, do you know where the little bird went?"
"Huh? Wasn't I waiting for you at home? Every time you go out, my poor little bird waits for you to come back with a seashell."
Huali: "..." A strange sense of guilt.
Shrimp Bro: "Why don't you wait for him for a while? I saw a lot of pearls at the bottom of the little fish's pond last time. Why don't you go and collect some?"
Karin's eyes lit up: "Huh? When did this happen?"
She put down the communication stone and rushed back.
*
Chapter 38 of "The Cold-Faced Immortal Lord's White Moonlight": Breaking Through the Water to Seduce the Soul. — Water droplets must roll down the neckline from the hair, and the eyes must be three parts hazy and seven parts hesitant to speak.
Yan Xi put down his storybook and meticulously adjusted his posture according to the diagram.
Beneath the shimmering water, his long, silvery-blue hair meandered like seaweed in the pool.
The long-unseen violet fish's tail curled up, and the scattered pearls on its scales shimmered and sparkled in the ripples.
A few more "coincidentally" stuck to his body, rolling gently with the water ripples across his firm waist and abdomen.
Yan Xi gently stirred the water, and when she heard footsteps, she slowly closed her eyes.
His little benefactor will soon be running to the poolside, lifting her skirt. The first thing she'll notice will surely be his tail fin, which is faintly visible through the pearly light.
Then look up along the pearls wrapped around his waist.
Her gaze swept over his damp silk gauze and lingered on his half-open collar.
Then, as she crouched down on the edge of the pool and called to him, he broke out of the water.
He gently wrapped his tail fin around her slender ankle, the scales brushing lightly against her skin, then took her hand and pulled her towards him, letting his little benefactor hear the suppressed breaths in his throat...
Perfect.
Although these storybooks lack practical value, there are indeed some aspects worth learning from.
*
Given that the entire hilltop is rosewood territory, each person's yard was enclosed to be exceptionally large when the planning was initially undertaken.
It took Karin Hikaru about ten minutes to walk back.
She'd been so focused on finding the birds that she hadn't noticed these details. But as she walked back to the pond, she spotted the little pearl at the bottom corner!
Both the human and the cat had stars in their eyes at the same time, their pupils seemingly glued together, unable to look away even a little.
Without saying a word, Huali squatted down and scooped up a pearl the size of a pigeon egg, holding it lovingly in her palm.
"Wow, the little bird is so rich."
*
On the other side, Yan Xi slowly stretched her waist at the bottom of the pool, carefully adjusting her posture so that her tail fin was just curled up in a position that could hook onto the shore.
However, we waited for a very long time...
Not to mention Huali, even Aobai didn't look up in their direction once.
Yan Xi looked over in confusion.
"..."
One person and one cat have become a professional assembly line.
Huali was in charge of scooping up pearls, while Aobai was in charge of carrying the bags.
"Look how good this one is!" Hua Li excitedly held it up to the light. "Add a few more sapphires and string them into a bracelet, and one of them would cost at least several dozen high-grade spirit stones."
Ao Bai shook his head and swayed, completely ignoring the tear in his vest, and kept working hard.
The blind man picked up the birds while wondering, "Where did the little bird go? Why hasn't it come back yet?"
The blind man replied, "Maybe he went to find Guanlan?"
Yan Xi, who was both far away and yet right before his eyes: "..."
The memories of his time with Jiang Ling and Jie Yuan flooded back. He could still vividly recall the feeling of being publicly executed on that fish-smelling cart...
A few seconds later, he angrily blew a bubble.
Even the novel "Cold-Faced Immortal" that Brother Xia gave him turned to dust.
Yan Xi closed his eyes.
He was wrong; the little benefactor cannot be calculated according to common sense.
The next second, "whoosh—"
A huge curtain of water descended from the sky.
Karin remained in the posture of scooping up pearls, while a kiss as deep as the sea air pressed down heavily.
Yan Xi grabbed the girl's slender waist and pulled her into his arms. Her skirt, wet with water, was instantly soaked.
Karin could even feel the other person pressed tightly against her chest, every muscle taut with a predatory tension.
Her eyes widened, and her lips parted slightly in surprise, giving Yan Xi the perfect opportunity.
The wet kiss deepened without warning, carrying an inexplicable sense of punishment.
After Huali was kissed until she was dizzy and disoriented, he slowly released her.
“Now…” Yan Xi’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his eyes gleaming with a captivating light, “My little benefactor… can see me now?”
Karin was surprised, "When did you...?"
A dark undercurrent surged in Yan Xi's eyes.
He suddenly tightened his arms around her, pulling her close to his chest. His tail quietly wrapped around her waist.
"Shh..."
He gently bit her earlobe, his hot breath slipping into her collar.
In an instant, Huali felt the world spinning around her.
Yan Xi had already pulled her back and they fell into the pool of water that was rippling with pearls.
The gentle ripples swallowed their intertwined figures, and gurgling bubbles overflowed from between their pressed lips, bursting into tiny silver sparks as they rose to the surface.
Ao Bai lay on the pool and looked around. After seeing the ripples spread out and the two people completely disappear, he immediately let out a happy meow!
"Good farewell, wonderful farewell, the whole pond is full of pearls, my little kitten, meowing!"
Ao Bai turned around and saw that no one was around, so he simply stopped pretending and plunged into the pool.
Why can't the richest person in the cultivation world be its adorable little cat?
