Bab 476: Chapter 474: What Liquid Is Being Lost? Night Missing You_1
```
Hearing the knocking on the door, Xiaowu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong all shrank their necks and pulled up the blankets to cover their bodies, their faces turning slightly red.
If an outsider were to see this absurd scene, they would be ruined.
Xu Ran was already shameless, and here they were, aiding and abetting.
But it's not like they had a choice, Xu Ran was so strong, they couldn't defy him.
Even if they thought about running, they would still be caught by Xu Ran, and on top of that, he had locked the door, shattering any thoughts they had of escaping.
"Who is it?" Xiaowu asked in a panic. How embarrassing would it be if someone barged in? Who could be visiting so late? Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, or someone else?
"Someone you met during the day," Xu Ran said, his eyebrows lifting in comfort. It seemed that Tang Yuehua had already taken the medicine, and her strength had significantly increased. By now, Tang Yuehua must be overwhelmed with gratitude towards him, perhaps even regarding him as a true gentleman.
But Xu Ran believed he deserved that title.
With his strength and unbeatable presence, how could he not qualify as a gentleman?
"Principal of Yue Xuan, Tang Yuehua?" The three girls murmured in surprise, whispering among themselves. Simultaneously, three little hands pinched Xu Ran hard. Xu Ran really knew how to stir trouble—a beautiful woman coming to find him in the middle of the night, what good could come of it?
"We should hide first." The three girls glared at Xu Ran, fearing they would be discovered. After surveying the room, they all hid in the large wardrobe in front of them. The wardrobe faced the bed, and through the gaps, they could see what Xu Ran would do next.
If Xu Ran dared to do anything inappropriate, they could also...
Well, it seemed they couldn't really do anything to Xu Ran. Apart from stewing in their own frustration...
After hiding the three women of his own accord, Xu Ran shrugged his shoulders to feign innocence and then went to open the door for Tang Yuehua.
"Tang Xuanzhu, why have you come?" Xu Ran asked knowingly. Up close, he examined Tang Yuehua's figure and momentarily lost his thoughts. The already beautiful Tang Yuehua now looked even more celestial in her demeanor.
She was on par with Bi Bidong and Qian Renxue.
"Are you still calling people 'Pavilion Master'?" Tang Yuehua gave Xu Ran a long, deep look, slightly unhappy when she heard him still addressing her formally. Hadn't Xu Ran recently placed her on the ground and explored her from head to toe? Had he forgotten that now?
"Yuehua," Xu Ran laughed cheerfully.
This was progressing faster than he had imagined. Did Tang Yuehua already have feelings for him now?
But someone like Tang Yuehua was indeed simple when it came to emotions; once she made up her mind, she wouldn't play games.
"That's more like it. What were you just doing in your room to sweat so much?" Tang Yuehua asked, puzzled. She had heard some noise coming from his room earlier, but she didn't think too much of it.
"I was just, erm, getting an infusion," Xu Ran said awkwardly, feeling embarrassed knowing that three other people were hiding in the wardrobe. Tang Yuehua had a naive mind, and their relationship had just started to develop. If she found out, it would definitely turn cold.
One might be acceptable, but three would probably cause her view of love to explode.
Xiaowu and the two other women crammed into the wardrobe, listening to Xu Ran's shameless excuse about getting an infusion, couldn't help but scoff lightly and curse him for his shamelessness. However, he did phrase it quite vividly.
"What kind of fluid?" Tang Yuehua asked blankly, wiping the sweat off his face with a handkerchief, and inquired unconsciously.
"Thoughts of you through the night," Xu Ran blurted out.
"Ah?" Tang Yuehua's mouth fell open, not expecting Xu Ran to say such a thing. Her face turned red, her heart pounding chaotically, a boundless sweetness filling her and making her wish she could dive right into his arms to savor his pampering.
"Thank you for the medicine you gave me today. I can now continue my cultivation, and it seems my 'Cultivation Level' is quite high as well," Tang Yuehua remembered her reason for visiting Xu Ran and quickly changed the subject.
```
Her "Cultivation Level" had broken through, and she didn't know just how delighted she was today.
Ever since she was young, she had been unable to cultivate, and within the Hao Tian Clan, where powerful individuals were as common as clouds, she endured much ridicule. After all, this was a world led by Soul Masters, where even those with slightly weaker talent wouldn't be the subject of gossip, let alone someone who wasn't even a Soul Master, naturally many would disdain her.
And this had always been a knot in her heart.
Now that she could cultivate, her knot had finally been untied.
But what made her happier was that she now knew Xu Ran's character, and she finally had someone she could trust and depend on.
"This is just the beginning, your 'Cultivation Level' will grow higher and higher. With me around, I won't let your 'Cultivation Level' fall behind,"
"Mhm," Tang Yuehua nodded lightly, her heart filled with sweetness.
Having experienced the sweetness of love for the first time at over thirty, she cherished it all the more.
"Xu Ran, this is the pastry I've prepared for you. You must be tired from the infusion for so long, have some," Tang Yuehua shook the food basket in her hand.
"Uh, okay," Xu Ran glanced around the room before pushing the door open and leading Tang Yuehua inside.
Turning on the light, Xu Ran saw the mess on the floor, reds, blacks, blues, straps, stockings scattered everywhere, and couldn't help being confused. Although Xiaowu and the others had hidden themselves, the stuff on the floor, it seemed, was hard to explain.
Tang Yuehua stared at the items on the floor, stunned, her cheeks flushing with a peachy glow, her heart pounding wildly. Some things she had seen before, but many others on the floor were unknown to her.
But judging by their shapes, she could guess their uses.
"Xu Ran," Tang Yuehua said, sniffing the air in the room and blushing. She realized, was it inappropriate for her to visit Xu Ran so late at night?
If outsiders saw this, it would surely lead to gossip. A man and a woman alone together in a room, and deep into the night—were it to spread, it would not sound nice.
The most crucial question was, what had Xu Ran just been doing in the room?
With so many girls' belongings on the floor, could it be?
Tang Yuehua searched the room skeptically with her eyes, but saw no one.
Xiaowu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing were also startled; they had forgotten to clean up. They had intended to secretly watch what unfolded between Xu Ran and Tang Yuehua. But if they were discovered now, it would be troublesome.
"Xu Ran, go ahead and eat, I'll help you tidy up," Tang Yuehua handed the food basket to Xu Ran then began to pick up the clothes from the floor and fold them neatly.
Xiaowu and the others were very clean; they all wore new clothes to meet Xu Ran. Although worn, they were as clean as new, except some were torn.
Seeing Tang Yuehua so eager, Xu Ran did not know what to say, and while eating the pastries Tang Yuehua had made, he was on the verge of tears. There had already been feelings between him and Tang Yuehua, and they were nearly at the point of advancing further.
But now, his image of a noble and spotless gentleman had taken a hit.
Indecent?
It was something he would have to own up to, even if he didn't want to.
However, seeing Tang Yuehua tidy up all the clothes on the floor, Xu Ran realized a problem: wouldn't Tang Yuehua open the wardrobe next, and then wouldn't she see everything? The situation would be incredibly awkward, wouldn't it?
What if she was frightened, developing a psychological barrier? That would be terrible.
