The room's window wasn't tightly closed.
Along with some noisy sounds, cool air rushed in.
Bang!
The window was blown open, and a cold draft poured in.
Qian Renxue, lying on the bed in a half-dreaming state,
frowned, feeling a moist sensation on her head.
A slight breeze swept past.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but shiver.
The hairs on her body stood on end, and every cell seemed to expand.
Qian Renxue suddenly opened her eyes.
Gripping the blanket, she glanced at the pillow, which was empty.
"Ling Yuan-jie? Are you there?!"
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and let out a long, cold shiver.
Ling Yuan, who had been dozing while sitting cross-legged beside the bed,
was startled by Qian Renxue, her dazed and dreamy eyes widening.
Her head, which had been nodding like she was fishing, drooped down.
She no longer felt sleepy.
As if caught red-handed, Ling Yuan's eyes were filled with panic in the darkness.
Realizing her current state,
Ling Yuan's face flushed, and she blinked her shy eyes.
Embarrassedly, she lowered her head and cleaned up the drool that had inadvertently escaped while she was dozing.
Qian Renxue's purple eyes trembled slightly.
She was now awake.
She didn't dare to move rashly, afraid of disturbing the sleeping little rabbit in her arms.
There was a warm and fragrant presence lingering on her head.
Ling Yuan seemed to have opened a new world for Qian Renxue.
After tidying up her appearance, Ling Yuan finally raised her head.
The shyness on her face hadn't diminished at all.
She pursed her red lips and looked at Qian Renxue, who hadn't yet recovered.
Her eyes were full of tenderness and affection.
"Your Highness~"
Ling Yuan's voice was choked with sobs, as if she was about to cry.
She nervously clenched her skirt, the shock she had just experienced making her feel choked up.
She had difficulty breathing.
Qian Renxue blankly returned to her senses.
Looking at the woman in the night, her shoulder straps slipping, revealing her shoulders and collarbones,
her mind had never been so clear.
Nor had it ever been so confused.
Qian Renxue didn't know what to say, and with each breath, she seemed to inhale a hint of amorousness.
This made her unable to help but close her eyes.
Her voice was slightly hoarse.
"Ling Yuan-jie, rest early."
"..."
Ling Yuan pursed her red lips, swallowed, and finally breathed smoothly.
Looking at Qian Renxue's furrowed brows in the night,
she wanted to reach out and smooth them out.
But the cold wind made her sober up, and she looked out the window.
She looked at Xiao Wu in Qian Renxue's arms.
Perhaps, if Xiao Wu wasn't there, she wouldn't be able to fully absorb it.
"Yes, Your Highness. Ling Yuan will go down and close the window first."
As soon as she finished speaking,
Ling Yuan grasped Xiao Wu's ankle, lifted it slightly, and tidied Qian Renxue's clothes.
That little movement made her feel lingering fear.
Qian Renxue frowned, took a deep breath, and tried to fall asleep as soon as possible.
Ling Yuan pulled up the straps.
She got up and walked towards the window, moonlight shining down, as if coating her thin lips with white frost.
Click!
The window was closed tightly, and the howling cold wind stopped abruptly.
The room became dark again.
Ling Yuan gently stroked her red lips, looking at the yogurt Xiao Wu had left on the table.
She stepped forward and held it in her hand.
As before, she tilted her head back and drank it all.
Soon.
The room became quiet.
Ling Yuan stopped cultivating and lay back down beside Qian Renxue, approaching nervously.
She didn't sense any resistance.
Only then did she hug Qian Renxue's arm, lean on his shoulder, close her eyes, and whisper.
"Your Highness~ Good night~"
Ling Yuan didn't think she was doing anything wrong.
This was her long-planned scheme: self-sacrifice to temper His Highness's will
and enhance His Highness's resistance.
Ling Yuan believed Qian Renxue wouldn't ignore her.
She had a license.
Qian Renxue had implicitly agreed to this.
If she hadn't been disturbed by Miss Xue's exit from seclusion last time, why would she have waited until now?
The yogurt before bed seemed to have a sleep-aiding effect.
Ling Yuan quickly fell asleep.
Qian Renxue opened her bright purple eyes, surrounded by warmth and fragrance in her arms and beside her.
Ah Yin must have seen it too, right?!
Ling Yuan had broken the ice, so how far away would the day Ah Yin spoke up be?
Qian Renxue turned her head to look at Ling Yuan, who was half-exposed.
Why did she have to be so secretive?!
She should just say it!
What if Ah Yin, whom he carried with him, learned from her
and even directly wanted to sit down? What should he do then?!
Would he still be able to sleep?!
——————
Day and night alternated.
Purple energy surged in the sky, and the rising morning sun scattered over Tang San on the roof.
The purple energy in his eyes stopped dancing.
Tang San looked in the direction of Seventh Heaven, his eyes filled with a trace of absentmindedness.
Normally,
Xiao Wu would be over there calling him to run and exercise.
Even if the purple energy hadn't completely dissipated,
he would occasionally accompany Xiao Wu, taking the students of Seventh Heaven out for a run.
"Hoo~"
He stopped thinking about it.
Tang San exhaled a breath of stale air and checked the prepared Zhuge Divine Crossbow again.
This soul hunt must not fail!
A ten-year soul skill was too weak; the Blue Silver Grass was already fragile.
Adding a little toughness was of no use at all.
Tang San jumped off the roof.
He ran towards the academy gate, where his teacher was waiting for him.

Inside the inn.
Qian Renxue woke up early and sat cross-legged on the bed, pretending to be asleep.
Ling Yuan suddenly opened her beautiful eyes.
She looked at Xiao Wu, who was lying on her delicate body, gently rubbing against her.
Her beautiful face was rosy, and she gently moved Xiao Wu away.
"Take her to wash up."
Qian Renxue's voice slowly sounded.
Ling Yuan looked at Qian Renxue, saw the look on her face, and her beautiful face shone brightly.
Obedient and docile, she nodded slightly.
"Yes~ This subordinate will go now."
Ling Yuan picked up the shoulder straps, held Xiao Wu in her arms, and walked towards the bathroom.
"Ah, Ling Yuan Mianxia!"
Not long after,
Xiao Wu's surprised cry came from inside.
Then came the sound of water. Ling Yuan seemed to be in a good mood, personally washing Xiao Wu's face.
His Highness didn't ignore her.
She could still do it in the future.
Qian Renxue's eyelids twitched slightly, and she looked towards the bathroom with incomprehension.
Half a quarter of an hour.
Xiao Wu had already run out with her hair disheveled.
Standing by the bed, she leaned on Qian Renxue's legs, raised her pretty face, and said with a smile:
"Holy Son Your Highness, where's the delicious food you brought Xiao Wu yesterday?"
Qian Renxue was a little triggered.
She pushed Xiao Wu, who was lying on her legs, away, half-jokingly and half-seriously saying:
"It's already been eaten by Ling Yuan."
"Ah? Ling Yuan Mianxia!"
A look of surprise and disappointment appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes.
Ling Yuan had just come out of the bathroom, and her expression instantly changed when she heard Qian Renxue's words.
What was prepared for her?!
No matter how rogue the rogue rabbit was, it wasn't her turn to eat this!
"Alright. We should set off; don't be late."
Qian Renxue stood up.
She glanced at Ling Yuan, took Xiao Wu's little hand, and walked out of the house.
"Ling Yuan-jie, keep up."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Ling Yuan smiled lightly and hurriedly followed Qian Renxue.
It didn't matter.
His Highness would slowly get used to it.
Xiao Wu tightly grasped Qian Renxue's hand, raised her eyes, touched her stomach, and whispered:
"Holy Son Your Highness, Xiao Wu is hungry?"
"I brought the breakfast that Nana made personally; you can eat a little first."
"Made by a little kid? Great!"
"..."
Bang!
The door closed.
Ling Yuan took Qian Renxue's arm and led Xiao Wu out of the hotel.
————
Tang Hao, who had fallen outside the walls of Notting Academy,
was dragged into a narrow dead alley by two scarred men.
"Ah——"
I wish you all a happy life!
