The cottage was filled with fragrance, and He Yunxiao felt as if he were in a sea of flowers.
The last time I smelled so many fragrances was the last time.
Fei Bao sat on the bed and murmured, "Is it really because I didn't circulate my internal energy?"
Last time, when He Yunxiao used the Soul-Devouring Pill to heal Master Bai, only He Yunxiao was practicing the Dual Cultivation Technique. As a result, Fei Bao, who was not using her powers, directly devoured the life force of the Soul-Devouring Pill like a gold-devouring beast, putting a lot of pressure on He Yunxiao to recover his strength.
This time, the two of them were using their internal energy, and the power of the Soul-Devouring Pill circulated periodically, like water cycling, so naturally He Yunxiao would not suffer any loss.
Actually, it wasn't just Fei Bao who wasn't using her internal energy; You Bao and Ruo Bao were the same. However, since neither of them practiced martial arts nor were they injured, they didn't have such a large power deficit as Fei Bao. Therefore, He Yunxiao's guess about the depletion of the Soul-Devouring Pill was indeed correct, albeit by accident. It was Fei Bao who caused it.
"Feibao, don't blame yourself too much. I don't blame you," He Yunxiao said, putting his arm around Feibao's shoulder.
That's the truth, and Bai Yufei can't deny it.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault."
He Yunxiao was somewhat surprised by Fei Bao's honesty. This only showed that the female leads indeed had different personalities. If Meng Bao had encountered such a situation, she would most likely have cried and acted shamelessly, or at least turn around and deny everything. As for admitting her mistake like Fei Bao did, that was absolutely impossible.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. It's just a deficit, he's not dead yet." He Yunxiao rubbed Fei Bao's little hand.
Fei Bao doesn't get many opportunities to let He Yunxiao touch her body, so He Yunxiao should seize the opportunity to get close to her.
"I will find a way to make up for the deficiencies in your body," Bai Yufei said earnestly.
He Yunxiao put his arm around her and pressed his face close to hers. "How can I help?"
Bai Yufei was not used to being so close to He Yunxiao, so she turned her face slightly away and said, "For external treatments, you can use highly nourishing substances to replenish your qi and blood. For internal energy treatments, you can use gentle internal force to cleanse your body and sweep away fatigue."
"Feibao is going to use her internal energy to help me again? What about you? Can you still advance to the Grandmaster realm?"
"I have my own plans."
"After you use your internal energy to help me, it will probably take even longer for your strength to recover, right?"
Bai Yufei bit her lip lightly and did not answer.
Seeing Fei Bao's reaction, He Yunxiao knew he had touched a nerve.
He Yunxiao's left hand, which had been around Fei Bao's shoulder, quietly slid down to her waist. Then, with a gentle pull, he drew the beauty closer to him. Finally, he whispered in Fei Bao's ear, "How about we use true dual cultivation? That way, you can recover your strength, and I can make up for my losses."
Bai Yufei's ears turned red from He Yunxiao's words.
How could she not know the many benefits of dual cultivation? With the aid of the Soul-Devouring Pill, her healing progress could be increased more than tenfold. Regaining her Grandmaster strength was no longer a distant dream.
While dual cultivation has many benefits, it is, after all, "that kind of" thing. She and He Yunxiao have no official status, and if she agrees to spend all her time with him, it's hardly something to be proud of.
If others ask about it later, it will indeed be difficult to say.
He Yunxiao had noticed Fei Bao's hesitation early on. Women are all like that. Back then, Meng Bao was completely resistant, but after he had used the "detoxification" tactic to win her over several times, Meng Bao had gotten a taste of it and never mentioned detoxification again.
"Is Fei Bao worried about what others might say? This matter is known only to heaven, earth, you, and me. How could others possibly know? At worst, once you recover your strength, you can simply stop doing this."
Master Bai is simple-minded and cannot hide his thoughts. Seeing her furrowed brows and conflicted expression, He Yunxiao knew that Fei Bao was mostly wavering, and was only one step away from success.
He Yunxiao thought for a moment and then said, "Master, even putting aside the wrinkles, you must understand that you came down the mountain on a mission. As long as you don't recover your strength, Qingxuzi will remain at large. How can Master bear to see that? Our dual cultivation is not only for ourselves, but also for all living beings."
At this point, He Yunxiao's large hand on Fei Bao's waist could clearly feel her body relax from being tense.
"Five times." Bai Yufei looked at He Yunxiao and said, "I have made a rough estimate that I will need about five more dual cultivation sessions to return to the Grandmaster level. As for the deficiency in your body, five sessions will be enough to make up for it."
"Deal! Pinky promise, no take-backs." He Yunxiao held up his little finger to Fei Bao.
Bai Yufei hesitated for a moment, but still handed her fair and delicate fingers to He Yunxiao.
The two intertwined their little fingers, thus making a pact.
...
He Yunxiao went to find Feibao in the afternoon. When he came out again, it was already dark, and the lights of thousands of homes took over from the sun to illuminate Yinjing's world.
After He Yunxiao came out, he did not rest, but got into a carriage and headed straight for Daqi Bank.
The outcome of Mengbao's conversation with Sister Du concerns two major matters: the "Daqi Bank" and the "Fan family's marriage proposal."
"Phonetics!"
"Young master."
He Yunxiao took Du Meimei's hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you out to eat, and we can talk while we eat."
Things are different now. In the past, He Yunxiao would have to find a restaurant that accepted gold and silver coupons to eat at, but now, almost all shops in Yinjing accept gold and silver coupons.
He Yunxiao casually found an expensive restaurant, led Sister Du into a private room, and then asked impatiently, "How did the meeting go today?"
Du Yinyun smiled and said, "As you instructed, young master, Yinyun and Chang..."
"Ahem." He Yunxiao coughed lightly as he looked at the waiter who came in to serve the dishes.
The quick-witted Du immediately understood and changed her words, saying, "I had a very pleasant conversation with Miss Li."
"Let's talk about the bank first."
