Fifteen minutes later.
Su Qinghe floated out of the hot spring pool, only to find out when she picked up her clothes that Ling Feng had given her a nightgown.
Luckily, there was no one else in the yard, otherwise she would have been very embarrassed.
After quickly tidying up, Su Qinghe went inside.
"Where's Ling Feng?" she asked Xiao Ying.
Xiaoying pointed in a direction, and Su Qinghe walked straight in.
"You washed really fast!"
Seeing the man on the bed who had already changed his clothes, Su Qinghe teased him and walked over to his side.
Ling Feng glanced at her but didn't say anything.
Su Qinghe smiled, took off her shoes and got onto the bed. As soon as she lay down, she reached out to pull the person out.
“It’s not crowded here.” Ling Feng firmly planted himself in his spot.
Su Qinghe paused, then tightened her grip. "I'm used to it, I sleep soundly when I'm held."
Ling Feng's resistance failed, and he was dragged into Su Qinghe's arms.
A fragrant aroma lingered around Su Qinghe's nose.
"It smells so good, like jasmine."
She sniffed, lowered her head and buried her face in Ling Feng's neck. After confirming that the fragrance was coming from him, she took a deep breath.
Ling Feng shuddered and quickly leaned back. "What are you doing!"
He was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed. Although he was happy to hear Su Qinghe say that Xiang was nice, he was not used to her sudden closeness.
Even though they had been sharing a bed for half a month, she had only ever held him and had never done anything like what she did today.
Su Qinghe looked displeased and dragged the person back.
"What's wrong with me smelling it? You suddenly made it smell so good, wasn't it just so I could smell it?"
After saying that, she lowered her head again, but this time she only breathed normally and did not make any other movements.
Ling Feng pursed his lips. "This thing has been sitting unused for a long time. I just didn't want to waste it. Don't flatter yourself."
Despite saying that, he didn't push Su Qinghe away. Instead, he kindly tilted his head to let Su Qinghe get closer.
"Yes, yes, you're right. I was just being presumptuous. You weren't afraid that I would dislike you at all."
Su Qinghe answered him in response, raised her hand and turned him over so that his back was to her. She then wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, and his fair and slender neck was right in front of her.
Ling Feng shifted, adjusting to a comfortable position, letting Su Qinghe hold him.
His neck was itchy, but he was used to it.
"What are your plans for tomorrow?" Su Qinghe asked in a low voice, her head bowed.
Ling Feng reached out and pressed down on Su Qinghe's restless hand on his waist.
"If they really keep making trouble, can I expose your fertile tree?" He moved his neck, as if he wanted to turn his head to look at Su Qinghe.
Su Qinghe's playful hand stopped. "Don't they know?"
Ling Feng knew that she still thought everyone knew her information!
Ling Feng gently shook his head.
"Aside from the people who were ordered to kill you before, only a few high-ranking people in the pavilion know that you have a superior fruit-bearing tree."
Su Qinghe buried her head in thought. "Is this very tempting to them?"
"Since they've all become assassins, aside from a few in power, do the rest of them still think about having their own offspring?"
"Besides, even if they agree, I haven't been able to fulfill the pregnancy requirement for the entire Seven Kill Pavilion."
Ling Feng shook his head again. "It's not for the subordinates, it's only for the hall masters."
“I know you have a superior-grade pregnancy fruit. Although the Seven Kill Pavilion is powerful, that level of pregnancy fruit has always been controlled by royalty and nobility. Even we find it difficult to obtain.”
"You know, offspring are something no woman can resist. Even if they have many children, they will still want more, especially when the probability of having a daughter is very small."
"That's one reason. Another reason is the Seven Kill Pavilion."
"There are rules in the pavilion that any woman born in the Seven Killings Pavilion, even if she is the offspring of a person of status, must receive training from a young age and take up a post in various places."
"So their daughters either died in assassinations or were sent out of headquarters to take up positions in various places, and few remained in the cabinet."
"As a result, they want even more offspring, so your superior fertility is very attractive to them."
After listening to him, Su Qinghe seemed to understand something, and she gained a new understanding of how precious the superior pregnancy fruit was.
No wonder Sister Qin was willing to ask for a high price of 700 taels back then; even so, she still felt like she got a good deal.
Ling Feng didn't get a response from her for a while, so he thought she was unhappy and quickly turned around to look at her.
"I'm just suggesting it. If you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say anything. There are always other ways, but this one is simpler."
He was getting a little anxious, and his speech involuntarily quickened.
Su Qinghe stared at him for a long time, until he became uncomfortable, before she smiled and spoke.
"I'm fine. You can handle everything yourself. Anyway, many people know I'm pregnant. Even if you don't say anything, someone will eventually find out."
Seeing that she agreed, Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little happy. He even revealed a faint smile, which he himself did not notice, but it did not escape Su Qinghe's eyes.
"You're so happy that I'm willing?" she asked cheerfully.
Ling Feng awkwardly turned around. "I just feel that it's less troublesome now, so I'm naturally happy to be a little more relaxed."
"That's all?" Su Qinghe teased.
Ling Feng stubbornly insisted, "That's all."
"Sigh! I thought I had done someone such a big favor, and they would be very grateful. It seems they are cold-blooded and heartless, impossible to warm up..."
She feigned disappointment, removed her hand from Ling Feng's waist, and stepped back, creating some distance between them.
"I'm not..."
Ling Feng was somewhat at a loss, and quickly turned back, but he was too embarrassed to approach Su Qinghe. He just stood there stiffly.
Su Qinghe didn't immediately hug him, and continued talking to herself. "Alright, alright, I don't think you can change your personality anyway, so I won't make things difficult for you."
"However, I don't have many high-quality pregnancy fruits left. I can only take out two for now. Tomorrow you have to make it clear to those people that if they really want them, they have to wait patiently for a few months. If there are many people, they have to come one by one."
"...You don't need to worry about that."
Ling Feng nodded, but at this moment he no longer wanted to talk to her about the pregnancy fruit tomorrow. He only wanted to clear up the misunderstanding and get Su Qinghe to hug him.
His eyes flickered, and he turned back to face the inside, but as he turned, he casually shifted his buttocks back a little.
The space between them wasn't large to begin with, and with this movement, he nestled directly into Su Qinghe's arms, bumping into her.
After touching someone, Ling Feng remained in that position, closed his eyes, and waited quietly for Su Qinghe's reaction.
Seeing the man who took the initiative to get closer, Su Qinghe secretly chuckled. After waiting for a while, until he moved his body again unintentionally, she pretended to subconsciously put her hand on his again.
