He Yunxiao enjoyed Chu Chu's little hands all morning amidst the thrills and excitement.
He had been receiving power from Chu Chu all morning, but his actual cultivation level hadn't increased significantly. He Yunxiao summarized the reasons, which were roughly as follows. First, reaching the ninth rank was the limit of his talent and the theoretical upper limit of his cultivation. Therefore, advancing his cultivation to the Grandmaster level would be extremely difficult.
Another aspect is that Chu Chu used a gentle method of transferring power this time, transmitting very little power each time without harming her meridians or body, making it suitable for long-term power transmission. Therefore, the effect was not very obvious.
Besides, this is only the effect of one morning. If the effect were obvious, then it would be too easy to advance from the ninth rank to the grandmaster level, and there wouldn't be so few martial artists at the grandmaster level in the world.
He Yunxiao went home for dinner, and in the afternoon he went to the familiar study in the Fan family mansion.
Fan Ziruo sat at her desk with a book, as usual. She was only pretending to read; her mind was completely focused on listening for the knocking. He Yunxiao's footsteps sounded first, then he knocked and said, "Ziruo, it's me."
Only then did she reply to He Yunxiao with a smile, "Young Master, please come in."
He Yunxiao came in.
He then watched as Fan Ziru smiled at him.
And so, for the umpteenth time, I thought to myself, the female lead is truly the female lead. Her looks, figure, temperament, personality, and even the atmosphere created by the environment, which in turn enhances the overall impression she makes, are all top-notch.
For example, Ziruo has a dignified and quiet personality. At this moment, she is in the atmosphere created by the bright afternoon sun. In addition, her proud figure cannot be hidden by loose clothes. She also has her own confident and proud heroine temperament. Finally, she smiles gently at you with her fairy-like face.
Honestly, He Yunxiao immediately wanted to take advantage of his 75% favorability rating to lift Fan Ziruo onto the desk and test its sturdiness with her.
Success and failure both stem from 75.
He Yunxiao knew that 75 favorability was indeed very high, but he also knew that it was only a little short of a true success in winning over the girl. He absolutely could not let impulsiveness ruin everything at this moment.
Sigh, what exactly is Ziruo's inner conflict? Why is her affection level stuck so tightly, preventing her from taking the final step?
When Fan Ziruo saw He Yunxiao enter, she smiled and teased, "Was that Mr. He Yunxiao or Mr. He Xiao who just came in?"
He Yunxiao also laughed and said, "That depends on whether it's Miss Fan Ziruo or Miss Fan Zi who let me in."
Fan Ziruo smiled slyly and asked, "Which lady do you prefer, young master?"
He Yunxiao stood tall and proudly said, "If it were 'He Xiao,' he wouldn't like either of the girls. But if it were me, I would definitely like them both."
Fan Ziruo snorted, "Young Master doesn't seem like a womanizer."
He Yunxiao dared not leave Fan Ziru with the misunderstanding that he would definitely be devoted to her.
She said, "I don't mind having multiple wives and concubines, but if I promise someone I will be devoted to them, I must keep my word." To this end, she even killed off three male protagonists in succession, and in each case, the female protagonist in the novel killed the male protagonist herself.
That's terrifying!
He Yunxiao quickly replied, "My reputation for being a womanizer is widespread; everyone in the entire capital knows it."
Having spent time with He Yunxiao these past few days, Fan Ziruo had already made her own judgment. He remained unmoved even when she offered herself to him, so how could he possibly be a "lustful man"? She would no longer believe the so-called rumors.
"Your character is well known to Ziruo, so please stop making fun of rumors."
Fearing that she might misunderstand his devotion, He Yunxiao said, "I am the only son in my family, and my father wants to find more girls to continue the family line."
Fan Ziruo looked at He Yunxiao and smiled meaningfully, "Continuing the bloodline is naturally the most important thing, but that doesn't stop you from having someone you love."
Honestly, even He Yunxiao himself thought that Fan Ziruo's personality was perfect for being a principal wife. Moreover, she was intelligent, polite, dignified, and composed. If he married her, she would definitely be an excellent helper in managing the Marquis's mansion and the inner quarters.
But the most regrettable thing is that she is the female lead, and so are the other female leads.
The female lead can completely overpower the female supporting character. At that time, it would be perfectly fine to make Fan Ziruo the legal wife and pamper her.
But how do you suppress someone when everyone is the female lead?
Nan Zhu's wife and Du's sister won't compete with Zi Ruo's sister for the position of the main wife, but Jiang's sister and Jie Yao's sister might not.
To put it another way, if Ziruo becomes the legal wife, but she insists on loving only her, what can be done?
He Yunxiao knew perfectly well that he could make her any promise he wanted, except for this one. If it weren't for Chu Xiaoxiao and the Soul-Devouring Pill, he would have met her first and stayed with her forever. But now, he had several leading ladies stuck with him, and he was in a difficult situation.
Both are my flesh and blood; I can't afford to lose either of them.
So when Ziruo smiled and said, "That won't stop you from having someone you love," He Yunxiao could only laugh it off and say, "Let's talk about marriage when the time comes. Ziruo, shouldn't we discuss how to write the novel's plot today?"
Fan Ziruo became interested when she heard about writing novels.
She took out the character design chart she had prepared beforehand and said to He Yunxiao, "Hmm. I finished the character design yesterday, but now you still haven't taught me the plot part."
He Yunxiao sat down at the desk, took a piece of paper, wrote a line with a brush, and then pushed the paper to Fan Ziruo, saying, "Ziruo, this is the so-called main plot."
Fan Ziruo looked at the words on the paper and read them aloud softly: "Summarize your story in one sentence."
