Inseparable in the Boudoir

Inside the room, Liu Yun had nothing to do and carefully looked the place over.

The room was exceptionally tidy, and the air carried Ya Fei's unique fragrance. The tables and chairs had been polished until they shone, and the entire room was spotless.

Ya Fei seemed to like purple and red. The curtains and tablecloth were red, while her bed was covered in pale purple bedding. The whole room had been decorated like a bridal chamber.

At that moment, the Bathroom door opened, and Ya Fei walked out.

Without question, Liu Yun was stunned once again. Her damp hair hung loose around her shoulders, tugging at his heart every moment.

"Little Brother Liu Yun, stop staring. I'm going to refine this herb now." Seemingly noticing his reaction, Ya Fei shot him a reproachful glare as she held the Narcissus Jade Muscle Grass.

Liu Yun quickly reined in his restless thoughts, put on a natural smile, and sat to one side as a spectator.

Ya Fei held the Narcissus Jade Muscle Grass before her, then slowly plucked off a leaf and placed it in her mouth to chew. Then came one leaf after another. Before long, she had eaten the entire Narcissus Jade Muscle Grass.

Surging energy flickered around Ya Fei's body. A gentle force cleansed her body, wisps of white steam rose from her head, and her cheeks grew even rosier.

The process lasted a long time. Ya Fei's entire body was gradually soaked with sweat, while her fair skin became tender and delicate, as though it could break at the slightest touch, like that of a newborn baby.

Just then, Liu Yun sensed the air becoming restless. Threads of Dou Qi actually began circling Ya Fei's body. Her speed of refining Dou Qi was even faster than his had been.

Liu Yun did not mind. His talent had been poor to begin with. Compared to refining the Dou Qi in the air, he had more direct methods. Cultivation was far too exhausting; he preferred using cheats.

After Ya Fei had absorbed the medicinal power of the Narcissus Jade Muscle Grass, her realm broke through to the Tenth Stage Dou Qi, and she directly reached the bottleneck.

Opening her eyes, Ya Fei felt lighter than ever before. Cultivation no longer felt difficult to her. That old feeling of her Dou Qi stagnating as soon as she began cultivating was completely gone!

"Did I just gain a new body?" Ya Fei murmured in disbelief.

"Sister Ya Fei, even if you wanted to change bodies, I wouldn't allow it!" Liu Yun joked.

"You smooth talker!" Ya Fei scolded with a smile. Then her tone shifted. "Thank you, Little Brother Liu Yun!"

Immediately afterward, before Liu Yun's astonished gaze, Ya Fei threw her arms around him and kissed his lips.

By the time Liu Yun came to his senses and wanted to take things further, Ya Fei had already broken free. She said boldly, "That's your reward from your big sister."

Liu Yun could only smile bitterly. This big sister Ya Fei had actually learned to be mischievous. What a strange thing!

"Sister Ya Fei, you're already at the Tenth Stage Dou Qi. I have a Qi Gathering Pill here. Once you've completely stabilized your realm, take it and break through to Dou Zhe." Liu Yun handed Ya Fei a Jade Bottle.

"A Qi Gathering Pill?" Ya Fei asked in confusion.

"The Qi Gathering Pill has roughly the same effect as Qi Gathering Powder, but its quality is a little higher. You'll understand its exact effects when the time comes," Liu Yun explained.

"What grade of pill is this?" Ya Fei asked.

"Uh?" Liu Yun did not know how to answer. If he said it was a Sixth-grade Pill, would Ya Fei be so frightened that she would not dare accept it?

Perhaps seeing Liu Yun's difficulty, Ya Fei smiled faintly. She already understood perfectly well that this pill was no ordinary item.

On the path of cultivation, opportunities and medicinal pills were incredibly precious. Sometimes even married couples turned against each other over them. Yet Liu Yun had known her for barely over ten days and was willing to give her something so valuable. He treated her even better than a real wife, and she was deeply moved.

Besides, only someone at the Tenth Stage Dou Qi could use this Qi Gathering Pill, and Liu Yun had no use for it anymore. Ya Fei felt that no matter how much she declined, the result would be the same. So she stopped refusing, accepted it generously, and placed it in the Liu Yun Ring on her hand.

Liu Yun was quite satisfied when he saw Ya Fei accept the pill. Then he changed the subject. "Sister Ya Fei, your room is beautiful!"

"This is your sister's boudoir. No man has ever dared enter it, yet you little rascal have become a regular visitor," Ya Fei said coquettishly.

Liu Yun felt somewhat awkward. He had forgotten that although the Dou Qi Continent revered the strong, it was still quite conservative. Entering Ya Fei's boudoir so freely really was rather presumptuous.

Liu Yun put on a solemn act and pondered carefully for a moment before saying righteously, "I'll take responsibility. Once I become strong, I'll marry Sister Ya Fei in a grand bridal procession."

This time, Ya Fei did not refute him. She merely looked at Liu Yun with a smile, a trace of barely perceptible infatuation hidden deep within her eyes.

Liu Yun walked to Ya Fei's side and gently wrapped an arm around her waist. Ya Fei naturally leaned against his shoulder, closing her eyes softly as she felt nothing but peace in her heart.

The two quietly leaned against each other like this. After a long while, Ya Fei slightly raised her head and looked at his handsome face. One hand rose of its own accord and gently caressed Liu Yun's cheek.

"Little Brother Liu Yun, you're really handsome. You're prettier than every woman your sister has ever seen," Ya Fei said.

"Sister Ya Fei, are you saying I look like a woman?" Liu Yun asked.

"Mm. What man could possibly be this pretty?" Ya Fei said something utterly baffling.

"Then does Sister Ya Fei want to verify it?" Liu Yun asked with a wicked grin.

"Stop it!" Ya Fei's pretty face reddened, though she quickly returned to normal. Then she said softly, "Keep your sister company and talk for a while."

"Mm!" Liu Yun nodded, and the arm around Ya Fei became more proper.

"Little Brother Liu Yun, can you tell me about your childhood?" Ya Fei asked.

Liu Yun nodded and began recounting what he had experienced as a child. His childhood had been monotonous, and no one had accompanied him to play. He simply could not get along with those children. Later, he began his repetitive life of cultivation.

When Ya Fei heard about how he had stood beneath a waterfall and used the force of the rushing water to temper his body, she could not help but be amazed.

Later, Ya Fei also spoke of her own upbringing. Though she had been born into the Mite'er Family, both her parents had died. She had not been as fortunate as Liu Yun, who had a clan leader grandfather to rely on. Since childhood, she had never been welcomed by others.

After she grew up, her family treated her as a tool for marriage alliances. Only after coming to Wutan City and distancing herself from the family had she finally lived a peaceful life.

Seemingly sensing Ya Fei's low spirits, Liu Yun pulled her tightly into his embrace and gently comforted her.

"Sister Ya Fei, everything from before is already in the past. For the rest of our lives, you have me. I won't let anyone bully you again," Liu Yun said.

"Mm!" Ya Fei replied. Then she added, "I'll also work hard to keep up with you, so I won't hold you back."

If it had been before, Ya Fei would never have dared say such a thing. But things were different now. Ever since taking the Narcissus Jade Muscle Grass, she could clearly feel that her talent had grown stronger, no worse than those geniuses in the Imperial Capital.
