In the bathtub, the girl’s gorgeous face had turned ashen as she tensely bit her lips. Her delicate hair cascaded down her back, and through the heat and haze, her stunning beauty could be seen.
It was uncertain how much time had passed, the medicinal liquid inside the bathtub had turned from green to black. The girl opened her eyes slowly, and her naturally crimson lips released a puff of murky air.
"Master, you have succeeded! You are now a low-rank early-level Spirit Cultivator! You are no longer the unable-to-cultivate trash from before. Later, I will give you a prescription that you can follow to prepare a medicinal bath. Cultivating in that medicinal bath will increase your speed."
Inside her soul, Xiao Mo was so ecstatic that he jabbered and gushed endlessly.
"It’s unfortunate that we don’t have spiritual herbs, otherwise, the effect would have been more potent. Master, when will you come visit God Code World and plant the herbs that you got last time..."
Yun Luofeng’s eyebrows furrowed, but before she could respond, Xiao Mo’s voice suddenly became alert.
"Master, someone is coming!"
Someone was coming?
Yun Luofeng's appearance sharpened immediately. She quickly grabbed the robe from the side and draped it over her body. She leaped out of the bathtub and barked sternly, "Who's there? Come out!"
Behind the screen, a black figure slowly emerged.
The man’s facial features were very exquisite, perfect to the point that even gods would be envious. His defined, chiseled face was emotionless. His pair of dark eyes were staring intensely at Yun Luofeng. Those unfathomable eyes prevented anyone from discerning his inner thoughts.
Yun Luofeng’s sight fell on the man’s soft lips and could not help but remember that day when the other kissed her upon falling down...
"Why did you come here?"
The girl's state of mind gradually regained its former tranquility, and her bewitching eyes were staring at that glacial face once again. Instead of impatience, there was even a hint of teasing in her voice.
"You dropped this."
The man lifted his hand, and a jade pendant dangled from his grasp.
The jade pendant had a word "Yun" clearly engraved on it, the character reflecting in her eyes.
Yun Luofeng was momentarily stunned. That day, she indeed lost her jade pendant and could not find it no matter what, but she did not expect that it would fall into the hands of this man.
No wonder this man would come to the General Estate. In fact, it was only because of this jade pendant that he came looking for her.
"Good, since the jade pendant has already returned to its owner, you can leave now."
Yun Luofeng accepted the jade pendant. With a wicked smile, she stared at the cold, indifferent man and asked with furrowed brows, "Is there anything else?"
The man moved slightly but did not leave.
For some reason, at that moment, Yun Luofeng discovered a trace of…awkwardness on his face?
"You… saved me."
"Yes?"
"And you also saw my face…"
"And so?"
"Take responsibility."
"..."
Yun Luofeng was stupefied, gawking at this guy with his expression of awkwardness.
She did not have hearing problems just now, right?
This cold man was making her take responsibility with a look of discomfort just because she saw his face underneath his mask?
"I knew it. I knew this would happen! Master, accept him quickly! You'll benefit from him! Accept him quickly!"
Xiao Mo was completely beside himself, appearing as though it was him who was being made to take responsibility.
"Be quiet!" Yun Luofeng could no longer hold herself back at that moment and fiercely bellowed. Only then did she look at the man standing in front of her. "It’s not like I raped you! What responsibility are you making me take? Moreover, we are complete strangers. Why did you come looking for me? Just because I helped you once?"
The emotionless man pursed his lips and awkwardly replied, "I don’t know. I just feel…very comfortable by your side."
Comfortable by her side? What kind of logic was that?
"Tell me, what can you do?" Yun Luofeng raised her eyebrows, staring at the awkward man with a faint smile.
The man replied, taken back, "Anything."
"Anything? How about bed warming?" Yun Luofeng’s eyes were smiling, her voice bewitchingly seductive, and a hint of teasing lingered on her lips.
At present, the young girl was only dressed in a light garment; her exposed snow-white thighs coupled with her bewitching voice could enchant anyone's heart and soul. But at that moment, she actually saw the grim and awkward man in front of her…blushing?
Eh…this guy really could not stand flirting.
"I don’t know," the man truthfully responded to her question, like an honest and obedient boy.
He paused and then added, "I can learn."
I can learn…
Yun Luofeng blankly stared at him. If, one day, a man stood in front of you and told you he would learn how to warm your bed, how would you be able to keep your calm?
"Then, stay with me as my bodyguard. Do you have any objections?" Having recovered her wits, the girl once again reverted to her bewitching and languid disposition and smiled at the man in front of her.
"As you wish."
Three curt words, she could already deduce that this guy was not only emotionless and difficult but also reticent...
"By the way, what's your name?" Yun Luofeng asked while yawning, seemingly indifferent in her inquiry.
Two days ago, Grandfather said he wanted to find a personal bodyguard for her. She did not expect that this bodyguard would come knocking at her door this fast.
"Xiao."
"No family name?"
"None."
Yun Luofeng stared blankly once again and subconsciously looked at the man before her, but having discovered the lack of superfluous emotions on this man’s face, the corner of her lips uncontrollably twitched before saying, "From now on, your name is Yun Xiao."
Yun Xiao...
The man whispered these two words again and abruptly raised his head to look at Yun Luofeng, his fathomless eyes brightening. "From now on, I will protect you."
...
By the time Yun Luofeng left the room, the day was getting late. She had planned to find her grandfather to discuss the matter of moving to the rear mountain and introduce Yun Xiao to him as well. However, she did not expect that the old man had yet to return. Thus, after waiting for a while, she stopped waiting and returned to her room.
However, when she stepped into her room again, she discovered Yun Xiao, who was just standing in her room a moment ago, had disappeared…
"Yun Xiao?" Yun Luofeng wrinkled her brows and called out in the room when her sight suddenly fell on the bed….
The bulge on the bed clearly indicated that there was someone lying on the bed. The person lying underneath the blanket emerged upon hearing her voice.
She had a clear view of the man’s exquisite, handsome face, his expression forever devoid of emotion. He was gently pursing his lips, and his dark eyes were incomparably clear.
Yun Luofeng's line of sight moved downward little by little until it landed on the eight-pack abs on his torso. Facing such seductive figure, her eyes could not help but zone out.
If this excellent man was sold to a brothel, she reckoned the entire kingdom would celebrate, and he would be more popular than a certain Crown Prince.
Yun Xiao, of course, did not have the faintest idea about Yun Luofeng's inner thoughts, and his clear dark eyes were staring hard at her. "You told me to warm your bed, and now...the bed is warm enough for you to sleep."
Yun Luofeng was stricken with shock.
As it turned out, this guy misunderstood the phrase's meaning? Then his blush from earlier, was it not due to hearing the phrase "bed-warming"?
At this moment, Yun Luofeng suddenly discovered this guy was actually this…innocent and adorable?
