I am truly sorry; please wait a little longer, until I am fully prepared mentally...
After a moment of contemplation, with one blink of the eye, he saw that all the women were seated, but Dugu Xiaoyi had vanished without a trace. Clearly, she had gone to "fetch" Guan Qinghan.
"Everyone, no need to wait for them; let's start eating..." Mei Xueyan hinted subtly, "Chances are, Xiaoyi won't be coming back this time either..."
"Why? Is Sister Qinghan gravely ill? Did she infect Sister Xiaoyi too?!" Han Yanmeng widened her round eyes innocently.
"Ahem, infect? You could say that's not entirely wrong..." Mei Xueyan's face flushed slightly, making it difficult to voice: "If I'm not mistaken, Mo Ye must have stayed in Sister Qinghan's room last night..."
"Pfft..." All the women gasped in shock.
Their expressions immediately shifted, each one unique. In that instant, a single thought spontaneously arose in all their hearts: once they saw Qinghan, they would have to have a serious talk with her about how she always managed to earn Mo Ye's favor and why he only ever went to her room... what exactly was going on.
This thought was especially pressing for Elder Sister Mei.
Guan Qinghan's constitution should be far inferior to her own, so how could she endure it? ...
This was truly a marvelous thing...
They hastily finished their meal, and the women dispersed with varying emotions. Sure enough, Dugu Xiaoyi did not return.
As for Mei Xueyan, she nearly fled in disarray.
Elder Sister Mei felt she had never been this frightened in her entire life...
Meanwhile, Dugu Xiaoyi skipped and bounced her way towards Guan Qinghan's Qinghan Residence. It was just around one corner. In reality, it wasn't far; however, amplified by Young Master Jun's Earth power, the soundproofing of every room was exceptionally good... She knocked a few times—bang, bang, bang—but there was no response from inside.
"Is she sleeping that soundly?" Dugu Xiaoyi bit her lip, a trace of panic suddenly flickering across her eyes: "Did something happen?" With this thought, she immediately started knocking incessantly—dong, dong, dong... Young Master Jun, having spent the entire night in conquest, felt immensely satisfied. He had only rested briefly but already felt his spirits completely restored. It was morning now, naturally the peak time for masculine yang; yet, looking at the beauty beside him still snoring softly—even Guan Qinghan, who never snored, was emitting a faint sound...
It seemed the beloved one was truly exhausted from the night's exertions...
The somewhat insatiable wolf sighed helplessly, interlacing his hands behind his head, deciding to just lie there for a while... So be it if he remained aroused; who asked him to have such a potent function?
While bored and frustrated, he suddenly heard loud knocking from outside—bang, bang, bang.
Young Master Jun Mo Ye swept his divine sense over the area and realized it was that girl Dugu Xiaoyi outside, pounding on the door anxiously—dong, dong, dong.
Young Master Jun's eyes darted, and he immediately activated the Yin-Yang Evasion technique, rendering his body ethereal. Thus, it appeared as if only Guan Qinghan was deeply asleep in the room...
Then, with a casual wave of his hand, the door silently slid open a crack...
Dugu Xiaoyi knocked for a long time, growing increasingly anxious. She finally gave the door a hard shove, thinking if there was still no movement, she would have to break it down...
Who knew that with that hard push, she simply stumbled forward into empty space, letting out a cry as she walked right into the room!
The door wasn't locked...?
Dugu Xiaoyi blinked her eyes in utter astonishment, then looked towards the bed...
Guan Qinghan was currently sleeping as sweetly as a spring beauty after a nap.
"She really hasn't woken up yet..." Dugu Xiaoyi muttered to herself. She quickly closed the door, thinking it would be bad if others saw this. She couldn't help but inwardly blame: Sister Qinghan sleeps without locking the door... how careless of her!
She then wrinkled her small, pert nose: "What is that smell? Why is it so strange? So hard to smell!" However, being generally unobservant, the girl didn't dwell on it. She walked to the bedside and said, "Sister Qinghan, it's so late, why are you still sleeping? We're all waiting for you to eat breakfast..."
Guan Qinghan didn't respond; the light snoring continued.
Dugu Xiaoyi frowned, reached out, and threw off the quilt, exclaiming in annoyance, "Sister Qinghan, wake up and eat...!" Suddenly, she shrieked, her pretty eyes widening round: Guan Qinghan beneath the blanket was completely naked...
"Could there have been a flower thief...?" The terrifying thought immediately flashed through her mind, and Dugu Xiaoyi's face turned stark white. Panicked, she looked frantically left and right, confirmed no one else was in the room, and only then did she regain her composure. She took three swift steps to the door, stuck her head out to vigilantly check outside, then closed the door, locked the bolt, and, feeling uneasy, quickly moved a chair to wedge against it...
After all, if Guan Qinghan had truly been violated by a flower thief... it absolutely could not be known to outsiders... This... this matter was too serious. If word got out, how could Sister Qinghan live? And Mo Ye, wouldn't his head be in danger...?
It must be said that the young girl's thoughts were indeed... quite unrestrained and jumpy. She didn't consider that several powerful women lived here, several of whom were Saint Venerables, and the lowest cultivation level of the others was the Saint level. What flower thief would have the gall to come here to steal flowers? Even if they had the guts, they would need the ability!
"Sister Qinghan..." Dugu Xiaoyi sat on the edge of the bed, her face etched with worry and grief: "...What happened to you, Sister Qinghan—" Before she could finish speaking, she was suddenly swept into an embrace, and a voice leered, "Stop shouting... Your Sister Qinghan has already cooked breakfast for me..."
Dugu Xiaoyi let out a sudden shriek, nearly terrified out of her wits. Her first instinct was to execute the 'Dismemberment Kick'—the female self-defense technique personally taught by Young Master Jun—but when she looked up and saw Young Master Jun Mo Ye's detestable smiling face, her heart instantly relaxed. Since he was here, he must be the one causing trouble!
Only then did she process the situation, patting her chest in relief: "You scared me to death, I thought it was..."
"You thought it was what?" Young Master Jun raised an eyebrow.
"Uh, cough, cough, cough... As long as you're alright, it's fine." The girl's eyes flickered, and she let out two dry laughs: "Since you're fine, I'll go back to eat now. I haven't had breakfast yet; I was only thinking about calling Sister Qinghan..."
Saying that, she hung her head, looking somewhat dejected and listless as she walked towards the door.
"What? You don't want to cook breakfast anymore, girl?" Young Master Jun chuckled wickedly. He reached out from behind and grasped the girl's shoulders, his warm breath blowing into her small, exquisite ear...
"Ah? I do, why wouldn't I? I dream of it now," the girl's eyes immediately lit up, and her small tiger teeth playfully showed as she blurted out her true feelings. But as she turned, she noticed that Young Master Jun was completely naked, not a stitch on him, and her face instantly flushed. She rolled her eyes in defeat: "But you... you can't do it now."
The girl was still only vaguely aware of such matters, but she knew that after that just now... he shouldn't be able to do anything else...
"I can't?! Who says I can't?" Young Master Jun's face darkened!
This was the greatest provocation to a man! The greatest humiliation—a blatant insult! Especially when a woman told him he wasn't capable in that area!
Especially being told he couldn't perform in the morning, when yang energy was abundant and that thing was standing tall? It was utterly unbearable?!
He must prove himself!
Prove it with practical action!
In an instant, a surge of anger rose in Young Master Jun's heart, and malice welled up...
He seized the girl in his arms and growled fiercely, "Girl, didn't you want to cook? This Young Master will grant your wish today and show you whether I can or not..." With that, he swooped down with a wolf's kiss...
Dugu Xiaoyi, having failed to 'cook' last time and inadvertently benefiting Guan Qinghan, had long been resentful, cursing herself a thousand times for being too timid. Seeing that even Miao Xiaomiao, who arrived later, actually managed to 'cook' early, and seemed to have done it many times already... the girl was so jealous her heart nearly exploded! The position of the First Wife... it should have been mine,...
Now
