At night, in a private room of the restaurant, He Yunxiao rested his chin on his hand and watched Fei Bao eat.
Bai Yufei felt uncomfortable under He Yunxiao's gaze, and after taking two bites, she said she wouldn't eat anymore.
He Yunxiao laughed and said, "Feibao, are you sure? If you're not going to eat, you should get down to business."
Bai Yufei's cheeks flushed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up her chopsticks again and began to eat slowly and deliberately in front of He Yunxiao.
He Yunxiao found it amusing. Fei Bao is already so old, yet she still acts like a little child, needing to be threatened to eat properly.
Even if Bai Yufei dawdled, dinner would eventually be finished. He Yunxiao cleaned up the dishes and wiped the table in front of Fei Bao, then took her little hand and walked into the inner room.
"Master, it's getting late, let's rest."
"Just call me Yufei," Bai Yufei said softly from behind He Yunxiao, who was holding her hand.
"Can't I be called Fei Bao?" He Yunxiao said.
"In short, don't call me master at this time."
"Feibao?" He Yunxiao called out.
A moment later, he said with a helpless expression, "I called you Fei Bao, but you wouldn't answer."
Bai Yufei sat on the edge of the bed, her face flushed, biting her lip, unable to utter a single word from He Yunxiao's question. The words he had taught her to say were all too embarrassing; "Feibao" was hardly a proper term of endearment.
He Yunxiao sat next to Fei Bao and stared at her, but in fact, his big hand had already secretly moved from behind and touched Fei Bao's waist.
He Yunxiao usually enjoys putting his arm around the waist of the female leads. Firstly, their waists are generally slender and delicate, making them quite comfortable to hold. Secondly, the waist is less sensitive than other areas, placing it within a comfortable level of intimacy that the female leads find acceptable, allowing him to hug them with peace of mind. Thirdly, the waist is located at the center of the body, making it difficult for the female leads to escape once he's embraced, serving as a prelude to his advances.
After spending this time together, Bai Yufei had gotten used to the large hand that would suddenly appear around her waist. When He Yunxiao wrapped his arm around her waist and placed it on her lower abdomen, Fei Bao wouldn't even show a reaction.
"Yufei." He Yunxiao brought his face close to Feibao's.
"Mmm." The female Taoist priest responded with a bowed head. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were dreamy, like a bride meeting her husband for the first time.
He Yunxiao's hand, which was resting on Fei Bao, had its own ideas and began to wander the world with a sword. At the same time, he moved closer and closer to her face, and finally, he fulfilled his wish and touched the woman's delicate red lips.
...
The life force of the Soul-Devouring Pill and the internal energy of the Free Spirit began to circulate back and forth along the two people's bodies.
He Yunxiao could feel his own power rapidly increasing with the help of Fei Bao's power, and he could also feel Fei Bao's strength recovering quickly.
She seems to be only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Grandmaster.
He Yunxiao smiled. He would try his best tonight and break through this barrier!
...
He Yunxiao's efforts paid off. Just as dawn was breaking, Fei Bao's demeanor suddenly changed, and she instantly looked two years younger. Even her nearly depleted and barely holding on physical strength began to recover rapidly. Although it still couldn't match the life force of the Soul-Devouring Pill, it wasn't far off.
He Yunxiao was happy for Fei Bao, but also felt melancholy.
Fei Bao's strength has greatly increased, and she will no longer be able to be overwhelmed by the Soul-Devouring Pill alone.
After Bai Yufei reached the Grandmaster level, her mastery of the smallest details of heaven and earth, and her confidence in her own strength, returned to her.
However, despite all that, He Yunxiao, who always coaxed her, was still her pillar of support.
"I...I'm already...already a Grandmaster," Bai Yufei managed to squeeze out. She meant she no longer needed to practice dual cultivation.
He Yunxiao pretended not to understand and laughed, "Congratulations! Let's consolidate our skills and practice a little longer to prevent our cultivation level from dropping again. What do you think, Fei Bao?"
Thanks to the cheat code, Fei Bao's favorability towards He Yunxiao was at its peak. In addition, she didn't have any ideas to begin with, so when He Yunxiao suggested it, she thought it made sense and subconsciously went along with his suggestion.
"Mmm, mmm. I'll listen to you," Bai Yufei said haltingly.
"Good girl, Fei Bao."
"Hmm..."
...
In the early morning of Jingtian City, He Yunxiao, relying on his first-class lightness skill, swiftly darted across the rooftops of varying heights like a swallow.
He needed to get back to his room in the restaurant without using the main entrance. (M.cascoo.net)
At this time of day, many colleagues are already up. If they see that I haven't come home all night, there's bound to be some gossip going around.
Although He Yunxiao didn't care about his reputation, he couldn't be sure which official was Mengbao's spy.
When Mengbao got engaged to Ruobao last time, she threw a small tantrum. Although she still let He Yunxiao sleep at her place, she wouldn't let him touch her body for several days in a row. She wouldn't even let He Yunxiao stay long at Nanzhu's Linxuan Palace.
In Sister Jiang's words, Mengbao's outburst this time was a way of expressing her attitude without ruining the relationship.
In short, Mengbao wanted to show her dislike for Fan Ziruo, but she didn't want to ruin her relationship with He Yunxiao, so she adopted the tactic of "seeing but ignoring".
He Yunxiao felt guilty and went to great lengths to cheer Mengbao up. He didn't want Mengbao to throw another tantrum because of his "staying out all night."
To be fair, even when a woman is angry, she is still very beautiful, but she feels uncomfortable if she can't be touched.
He Yunxiao used his light-footed skills to carefully slip back to his room.
Just as he was about to go to bed for a short nap, he suddenly realized that there was a woman sleeping in his bed!
That familiar face...
Dream Baby!?
No! It's Li Xiangjun!
