The Lady of the House

Three days later.

Qin Yu nodded and put the Dragon Fist back into his Storage Ring.

Xiao Yi Xian leaned against the kitchen door frame, watching him continue preparing dinner. After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke:

"Shouldn't you take care of some things before entering the Inner Academy?"

Qin Yu paused for a moment.

"What is it?"

Xiao Yi Xian didn't answer, she just looked at him with an indescribable look in her eyes.

Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, his mind racing, but he couldn't figure out what she meant.

"Did I forget something important?"

"Hey... you go ahead and cook, I'm going out for a bit."

Xiao Yi Xian sighed softly, then changed her clothes.

Where to?

"I just wandered around the academy. I've been lying down all day, and my bones are stiff."

As she spoke, Xiao Yi Xian walked out of the dormitory without looking back.

Qin Yu stood in the kitchen, his brows slightly furrowed. Xiao Yi Xian's expression just now seemed a bit off.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

"Never mind, let's ask her when she gets back."

Qin Yu shook his head and continued cooking.

After the meal was prepared, Qin Yu placed the dishes on the table. After waiting for a while, Xiao Yi Xian still hadn't returned, so he simply sat down and began to cultivate.

Time passed slowly, and suddenly, a soft footstep sounded at the door.

"Xian'er, why did you call me over? Why are you being so mysterious..."

The dormitory door was pushed open, and a familiar voice came from the doorway.

Qin Yu opened his eyes. Xiao Yu was standing at the door, one hand still holding the door frame, the other holding a cloth bag, with a puzzled expression on her face.

Their eyes met.

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

"Hey? It's you? Where's Xian'er Sister?"

Xiao Yu looked around the room somewhat blankly, while Qin Yu frowned.

She went out.

"They went out?"

Xiao Yu walked in, placed the cloth bag on the table, and her face showed even deeper confusion.

"She called me over, saying she had something to tell me."

Upon hearing this, a thought suddenly flashed through Qin Yu's mind.

"Take care of what needs to be taken care of."

The words Xiao Yi Xian said before she left became clear in his mind at this moment.

She told herself to take care of everything before entering the Inner Academy, then said she was going out for a walk, and then Xiao Yu arrived.

This girl...

Did I overdo it last night and scare her?

Qin Yu's expression became somewhat subtle, because he had originally planned to handle this matter tomorrow, but Xiao Yi Xian suddenly interfered.

Xiao Yu noticed his change, her gaze lingering on his face for a moment, then her ears turned slightly red as if she had thought of something.

"Could she be...?"

"It should be."

Meanwhile, on the hill behind the academy.

Xiao Yi Xian sat cross-legged on a rock atop the mountain, gazing at the scenery of the academy below. Judging by the time, Xiao Yu should have arrived by now, right?

"Sigh... I'm afraid you'll have to suffer a bit, Sister Xiao Yu."

They will be able to enter the Inner Academy in three more days.

In just three days, with Qin Yu's vigorous and energetic cultivation, wouldn't he have been so exhausted that he couldn't get out of bed for three days?!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi Xian blushed slightly and reached out to touch her waist.

Last night's events are still fresh in my mind. That guy Qin Yu was like an old ox, full of energy and seemingly unaware of the meaning of fatigue.

If she hadn't finally given up, Qin Yu probably would have stayed up until dawn.

"And you must have... been waiting for this answer for a long time, right?"

Xiao Yi Xian covered her face with her hands, feeling that her idea was too bold, but then she thought again and felt that she had done the right thing.

Rather than letting Qin Yu remain preoccupied with this matter after entering the Inner Academy, it's better to resolve everything that needs to be resolved before he goes in.

After spending this time together, Xiao Yi Xian also believes that Xiao Yu deserves a definite answer.

Whether it's acceptance or rejection.

Regardless of Qin Yu's true feelings, shouldn't he at least give him a definite answer?

Although it's unclear whether Qin Yu has already made arrangements for this matter, but...

Never mind, I'll make the decision for him this time!

Let's talk about the future later.

Xiao Yi Xian lowered her hand, took a deep breath, and began to cultivate.

The next morning, Xiao Yi Xian came down from the mountaintop and headed towards her dormitory.

However, a journey that should have taken less than an hour took her more than two hours to complete.

When Qin Yu arrived at the dormitory, he was sitting on the stone bench at the entrance.

What are you doing sitting here?

Xiao Yi Xian pretended not to know anything and walked over to ask.

Qin Yu raised his head and stared straight at her without saying a word.

"What's wrong? You don't recognize me after just one night?"

Xiao Yi Xian felt a little guilty under his gaze, her eyes darting around for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal.

Where did you go last night?

"I spent the night cultivating in the back mountains."

Xiao Yi Xian sat down next to him, tilting her head to look at him.

"You didn't sit here all night, did you?"

Qin Yu did not answer the question, but looked directly into her eyes and asked:

Why do this?

Xiao Yi Xian's smile froze for a moment, and then she explained her thoughts in detail.

After hearing Xiao Yi Xian's thoughts, Qin Yu reached out and ruffled her hair, chuckling softly:

"You little brat... you dare to make decisions for me now? You want to be the lady of the house?"

"So what? Can't I be the lady of the house?"

Xiao Yi Xian was a little embarrassed by his laughter, but she still straightened her back and spoke with great confidence.

"Sure."

Qin Yu withdrew his hand, stood up, and stretched.

I had planned to spend last night with Xiao Yi Xian and give Xiao Yu an answer today, but Xiao Yi Xian...

This is the only assessment he could offer:

Xiao Yu and Xiao Yi Xian have two different styles.

Although her Water-Attribute Battle Qi and contains a lot of water, Xiao Yu's personality is not as gentle as water.

With that kind of enthusiasm, if Qin Yu hadn't been on top, he would have thought he was the one being pushed!

Especially when those legs wrapped around him, even this Golden Kidney Warrior almost couldn't hold back.

If it were someone else, their back would probably have been broken.

Xiao Yi Xian also stood up, looked towards the dormitory door, and asked:

"Is Sister Xiao Yu still sleeping? I hope you didn't disturb her sleep?"

Qin Yu gave her a look, and Xiao Yi Xian immediately understood. She quietly pushed open the door and peeked inside.

Then she turned around and glanced at Qin Yu with lingering fear.

Fortunately, she had the foresight to do so, otherwise she and Xiao Yu would have had to switch places right now.

However, judging from the slight upturn of Xiao Yu's lips even in her sleep, Qin Yu's answer clearly made her very happy.

"Are you finally at ease now?"

Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes at him, but still nodded.

After a while, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly spoke hesitantly:

"Um... please don't blame me."

"Huh? What?"

Xiao Yi Xian hummed for a while before finally speaking:

"It's just that... I made this decision for you without telling you beforehand."
