Chapter 154: A Kiss
Li Yuan leaned in and kissed her lips. Ye Fei's eyes widened slightly, and for a moment she forgot to push him away.
His movements were rather clumsy, but he only lightly brushed against her lips without going any deeper.
After a long while, he pulled away from her lips, cupped her cheeks in his hands, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Please... I don't want to hurt you anymore..."
Ye Fei snapped out of her daze and saw the pleading look in his purple eyes. She could only nod and say, "...Okay, I'll leave right away."
"After the full moon, the fire poison will be temporarily suppressed. I'll go back to the academy to find it then..."
Before he could finish speaking, everything went black and he fainted.
Ye Fei hurriedly laid the boy's body flat on the ground.
Looking at his face, which had completely lost consciousness, I couldn't help but touch my lips with my fingertips.
The temperature from just now seems to linger there.
Ye Fei felt her face burning hot, as if it were on fire. She forced herself to calm down and quickly left the cave after sensing that no one was around.

In the latter half of the night, Ye Fei walked out of the woods relying on her memory.
She walked back to Guiyuan City alone and happened to see Mu Jingshen.
When Mu Jingshen saw Ye Fei walk out unharmed, his handsome face couldn't hide his surprise: "You...you're alright?"
Ye Fei shook her head and removed a leaf that had fallen on her head: "It's nothing."
"That demon..."
"I didn't run into him; perhaps he's already escaped."
Mu Jingshen secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're alright. I was looking for you in the woods, but I couldn't find you, so I left the woods first."
"I was just about to send a message to the elders of the academy when I saw you come out."
"By the way, why is your face so red?" Mu Jingshen asked, noticing her flushed cheeks.
Ye Fei patted her burning cheeks and chuckled dryly, "It's probably because I ran all the way here, right?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Jingshen nodded slightly and said in a clear voice, "I couldn't find that demon. Perhaps he really has already escaped."
Ye Fei nodded and replied naturally, "Doesn't that demon have companions? This forest is so dangerous, let's leave it at that for tonight and make plans later."
Mu Jingshen: "That's what I think too."
He placed one hand on the sword at his waist and said coldly, "Let's go back to the academy."
Ye Fei followed behind Mu Jingshen, and after walking a few steps, she turned back to look at the woods behind her.
Li...Li Yuan...
Thinking of his venomous flames, Ye Fei felt somewhat depressed.
...
College.
Ye Fei finally returned to her dormitory. Instead of lighting candles, she collapsed onto the bed, placing her arm across her eyes.
"Was it because he wanted to block me that he...did that?"
Ye Fei murmured softly, but she was all alone in the large room, so naturally no one answered her.
She lay in bed for a while, then got up to wash up.
After washing up, Ye Fei continued reading the Hundred Herbs Classic, trying to focus her attention on something more important than that kiss—
The next day, Ye Fei went to class with dark circles under her eyes.
Yu Muhan invited Ye Fei to have breakfast together. Seeing that she looked tired, he asked with some concern, "Xiao Fei, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Ye Fei waved her hand weakly: "I stayed up too late reading and didn't get enough sleep."
"You're so diligent, Xiao Fei, but overworking isn't good either. Don't forget about your health because of cultivation." Yu Muhan gently straightened her collar, which hadn't turned up properly.
Ye Fei nodded, and just as she was about to reply, she unexpectedly saw Mu Jingshen walking ahead.
