Ye Meng'e

The woman before him was incomparably beautiful. Her fitted black gauze dress clung tightly to her body, setting off her graceful, exquisite figure with curves in all the right places, like rolling mountains.

Especially those two firm, towering Jade Peaks on her chest. Though Dark clouds obscured the view of the mountain tops, one could still glimpse the beauty halfway down the slope. Seen from the front they formed a ridge, from the side a peak—the ancients truly had not deceived me!

They seemed ready to burst free, delivering an overwhelming visual impact. Large stretches of snow-white, delicate skin were exposed to the air, and as they pressed together, a deep valley appeared, tempting a man's most primal desires.

The fabric clung tightly to her skin, outlining a soft, boneless, slender, and graceful Snake Waist that was bewitching and seductive when she moved.

Farther down, the curve of her hips suddenly widened, stretching the dress taut. It perfectly outlined her round, perky, plump, and voluptuous backside, like a fresh, juicy honey peach that made one want to take a hard bite.

With such an astonishing waist-to-hip ratio, her hips broader than her shoulders, she surpassed even a living immortal!

One fair, long, straight, beautiful leg was hidden beneath the gauze dress. Through the thin fabric, one could vaguely make out its alluring curve and imagine those rounded, full thighs.

The hem of the dress extended all the way down past her knees before stopping, revealing tender calves wrapped in black, crystalline stockings—slender, yet not lacking in softness.

A pair of Jade Feet stepped into black pointed-toe crystal stilettos, with delicate ankles and elegant arches, as though meticulously carved by the heavens. One could not help wanting to hold those beautiful feet in one's palms and gently knead them.

Her long, glossy black hair was coiled behind her head and fixed with an exquisite hairpin, revealing a swanlike neck and delicate collarbones. She looked like an elegant and dignified Black Swan, exuding an air of nobility.

The woman's azure Beautiful Eyes were fixed unblinkingly on Cheng Xiaoyu, as if she wanted to see straight through him, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"What's wrong..."

Before he could finish, the woman stretched out her slender jade fingers and pinched Cheng Xiaoyu's chin, carefully sizing up his handsome face before finally letting him go.

"You really have changed a lot. Don't tell me you got dumped?"

Cheng Xiaoyu felt rather helpless. He had thought that after such a long time apart, distant relatives meeting again might have some touching scene, but her first sentence ruined the mood.

The woman in the gauze dress entered the house and lightly kicked off her high heels, leaving them on the floor. Her delicate Black Silk-wrapped Jade Feet stepped onto the cold floor.

"Where's Xinxia?"

"She should still be sleeping in her room. Don't—"

Cheng Xiaoyu had just been about to say not to disturb her when, in the next second, the woman opened Ye Xinxia's bedroom door and barged right in on her own.

"Xinxia, long time no see!"

"Mmph... Huh? Cousin Meng'e, why are you here?"

Listening to the laughter and playful commotion coming from the room, Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head helplessly and went to prepare breakfast.

This woman's name was Ye Meng'e. She had suddenly appeared in their lives a few years ago, saying she was the daughter of one of Mom's sisters—in other words, the siblings' cousin.

At first, Cheng Xiaoyu and Ye Xinxia had not believed her, but after Ye Meng'e described many of Mom's habits and past matters, the two of them had no choice but to believe her. Besides, during that extremely difficult period, she had helped them a great deal.

If there had not been some relation between them, how could she possibly have extended a helping hand? After all, their family had nothing that anyone with ulterior motives could covet...

According to Ye Meng'e, her mother... that was, the two siblings' Aunt, had married a foreign man long ago and had never come back afterward, which was why there had been no news of her all this time.

Previously, Ye Meng'e had come to visit every once in a while, but that had already been two years ago. During these past two years, they had lost contact with her.

Cheng Xiaoyu brought breakfast to the dining table and happened to see Ye Meng'e pushing Ye Xinxia out. He smiled and said, "Cousin, come have some breakfast."

"Sure. I finally came all this way, so you'd better treat me well."

Ye Xinxia went to the bathroom to wash up. Ye Meng'e sat at the dining table, her Fox Eyes smiling as she sized up Cheng Xiaoyu.

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Xiaoyu was puzzled. Ye Meng'e had been staring at him ever since they met, so he asked.

"Nothing. I was just marveling at how much you've changed. Looks like you're already an outstanding mage."

A faint smile appeared on Ye Meng'e's exquisite, pretty face. She seemed as if she wanted to see through Cheng Xiaoyu, and there was a trace of gratification in her Beautiful Eyes.

"Heh, I'm not that outstanding..."

Cheng Xiaoyu gave a dry laugh, then suddenly asked, "Right, Cousin, why did you suddenly disappear these past two years? You barely replied when I messaged you. Xinxia and I thought something had happened to you."

Hearing this, Ye Meng'e froze slightly. Her eyelids lowered a little, and a barely perceptible trace of weariness appeared in her Beautiful Eyes, but she immediately concealed it and sighed.

"Ah, I was actually very lost these past two years. But at least I made it through. Although I gave up some things, at the very least, I can live a little more peacefully now."

Hearing those words, Cheng Xiaoyu could sense the melancholy and relief in Ye Meng'e's tone, but he did not ask what exactly had happened. After all, it was someone else's private matter.

Cousin... she must have gone through many difficult things these past two years...

Ye Meng'e would be staying in Bo City for the next few days and had no plans to return abroad for the time being. Their home was not short of a bedroom either, so it would be a bit livelier.

Ye Xinxia was also very happy to learn that Ye Meng'e would stay a few more days. With another girl at home to keep her company, she would not be bored.

The next morning, a handsome man and a beautiful woman jogged together along the green path in the park. Both of them wore sportswear. The man maintained even breathing the whole time, while the woman was clearly struggling.

Bean-sized beads of sweat appeared on her fair forehead, and strands of hair stuck to her skin. Ye Meng'e's fair, pretty face was slightly flushed, her breathing a little hurried as she followed Cheng Xiaoyu with some difficulty.

Ye Xinxia sat on a bench, watching over the water and towels while leisurely playing on her phone.

"Hey, wait... I can't run anymore!"

Finally, Ye Meng'e could no longer keep going. She stopped, bent over, and braced her hands on her knees, letting sweat slide down her neck and collarbones into the full valley below.

"You brat... I haven't seen you in two years... How did your physique get this good?"

She shot a reproachful glare at Cheng Xiaoyu, who still looked utterly effortless, then sat down beside Ye Xinxia on aching legs. Taking the water and towel Ye Xinxia handed her, she let out a comfortable breath.

That guy—she had not seen him exercise much over the past two years, so how had his stamina become this abnormal? He had run ten kilometers and barely looked out of breath or tired.

But Ye Meng'e did not know that Cheng Xiaoyu simply possessed the special ability [Status Recovery]. Besides, after so much time, his physical condition had long since become extraordinary.

Today, he opened the Quest Panel as usual and was just about to claim the day's reward, but in the next second, a rare look of astonishment appeared on his face.

On the panel, the entry that should originally have read [10/10 kilometers] had actually changed to [11/10 kilometers].

No, why were numbers beyond the target being recorded too?

Seeing this, Cheng Xiaoyu frowned slightly and stroked his chin in thought for a moment. Then he dropped to the ground and did a few push-ups.

After checking the Quest Panel again, sure enough, the [100/100] number in the Push-ups column had directly changed to [107/100].

"So that's how it is... Then let's see just how far I can take this."

But from Ye Meng'e and Ye Xinxia's perspective, Cheng Xiaoyu first stood there in a daze, then dropped down and did a few push-ups, and now he had run off again. The two girls were left staring blankly.

"Xinxia, Xiaoyu... he's really okay, right?"

"Probably...?"
