Bab 55: Chapter 55: Xiao Ye: My Hands Are Soaked in Fragrance
After half an hour, Xiao Ye's massage session concluded.
Yunbing asked, "How's my figure?"
Xiao Ye, with a calm expression, replied, "Very nice."
He then glanced at her for just ten seconds before decisively turning to leave. Xiao Ye prided himself on his integrity, never stooping to sneaky glances—unless, of course, he couldn't resist.
Once Xiao Ye had left, the alluring Yunbing sat up, her skin slightly glistening with sweat, and got dressed.
As she stepped out, she saw Xiao Ye vigorously washing his hands in a basin, muttering to himself:
"Darn it! My hands are soaked in fragrance now, and I can't wash it off."
He brought his hands to his nose, frowning, "Wearing gloves is better."
"Without gloves, every scent gets on you—milky, floral, musky—it's really soaked in."
Xiao Ye scrubbed his hands with dish soap, but the scent lingered.
Hearing his complaints, Yunbing, her forehead lined with exasperation, asked, "Does it smell that bad?"
Xiao Ye instinctively replied, "It smells great, but these scents on my hands make people think things."
Yunbing blushed, "Think about what?"
Startled, Xiao Ye glanced at Yunbing, realizing his slip, and quickly composed himself, saying seriously:
"Nothing much; as a man, having all these scents makes me seem like a woman. It's not great."
With a teasing smile, Yunbing reached into Xiao Ye's pocket and pulled out a black, fragrant sock bundle, asking, "Like a woman? Then what's this? It seems very familiar to me!"
Xiao Ye felt embarrassed; this was his homemade "Yunbing Black Scented Sachet."
But he couldn't admit it openly—it would be socially mortifying!
So, he shifted his eyes evasively, "I bought this scented sachet at a high price!"
"Is that so?" Yunbing brought the "black sachet" to her nose, grinning, "Why does it smell like silk..."
Before she could finish, Xiao Ye quickly snatched back the "Yunbing Black Scented Sachet" and interrupted, "You're mistaken! It's my treasure, bought and paid for."
Yunbing chuckled, her laughter like a blooming flower, overshadowing everything around her.
Even she didn't realize how much the word "treasure" from Xiao Ye pleased her.
Xiao Ye resumed scrubbing his hands in the basin, determined to remove the scent.
Yunbing grasped his hands with her delicate, translucent fingers, playfully scolding, "Stop washing; it doesn't stink!"
Xiao Ye showed a bitter smile.
With all these scents on his hands, it would be hard to explain to Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi later.
Otherwise, they'd surely punish him harshly!
Seeing Xiao Ye's predicament, Yunbing's face showed a hint of anger, "It's the first time anyone's seen and touched me completely, and you find it unpleasant."
"Stop washing!"
"And next time, no gloves allowed!"
Under Yunbing's insistence, Xiao Ye reluctantly agreed, smiling wryly, "Alright!"
"Yunbing, how do you feel now?"
On the topic of business, Yunbing's face relaxed, "The violent energy inside me has softened, and the excess energy has calmed. It feels amazing!"
She used to constantly suppress the violent energy within her, which could cause significant destruction if unleashed.
For the first time, she felt how easy life could be!
In just a short time, she found herself enjoying this ease.
Xiao Ye opened the template adjuster to check Yunbing.
**[Template Adjuster Scanning]**
**[SSS-level Kunpeng Template: Yunbing]**
**[Problem: Template instability, conflicting rule types]**
**[Solution: Change the type of rule fragment crystal]**
While Yunbing felt lighter, the root of her problem remained. Unless the fragment crystal type was changed to stabilize the template, she would periodically experience violent energy surges.
Xiao Ye seriously said, "Yunbing, this relief is temporary. The issue will return periodically."
The alluring Yunbing nodded, her brows furrowed as she acknowledged, "Indeed."
"I just don't know how long this relief will last."
Xiao Ye speculated, "You're at a higher realm than Cheng, so it might last shorter for you."
"Cheng needs treatment every half month."
"For you, it could be ten days, five days, or even one day."
Yunbing's face darkened, "Once a day?"
"That's just a possibility." Xiao Ye didn't want to make definitive statements.
Yunbing's issue was template-related, and if she transformed into her Kunpeng summoned beast form within a day, the problem would recur.
Afterward, Yunbing left, having many duties as Vice-Dean of Kunpeng Combat Academy.
Xiao Ye went to the villa's first-floor living room.
Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi were also there, and the Grandmaster-level repairer had just finished repairing the floor.
"What's this trash doing in my house?" Nangong Siyao glared at Student Council President Cheng Yi.
Cheng Bingxi, clinging to Nangong Siyao's arm, frowned and scolded, "You're too arrogant, damaging our floor! I should ask Yunbing to discipline you!"
Cheng Yi stood awkwardly, sweat dripping, and bowed, pleading, "Aunties, I'm Diamond Supreme's son and Uncle Xiao's nephew!"
"The floor's almost fixed; please don't trouble me!"
"Auntie?" Nangong Siyao was stunned, asking Cheng Bingxi, "Do I look that old? And he's much older than Xiao Ye, yet calls him uncle!"
Cheng Yi felt awkward, calling Xiao Ye uncle due to seniority, not age.
Cheng Bingxi stroked Nangong Siyao's smooth cheek, saying, "Not old at all, neither am I."
Nangong Siyao looked disdainfully at Cheng Yi, whose attitude had changed since the cafeteria, saying, "So you're Diamond's brat."
"Diamond's a respected strongman, but you? Not so much!"
"Yes, yes!" Cheng Yi nodded repeatedly, not daring to argue, eager to leave.
The repairer finally finished the floor.
He stomped on the restored floor, sa ying, "Done!"
"Goodbye!" Cheng Yi and the repairer cleaned up the debris and quickly left.
Watching them retreat, Xiao Ye chuckled.
