Spring... Spring...

Xiao Bai had not actually left. Instead, she was peeking through the crack in the door...

Meanwhile, Bofeng and Qian Renxue's minds were both completely blank, their heads buzzing.

They had not even processed what had happened.

Their lips were pressed together...

Bofeng subconsciously moved his lips. It was sweet—a wonderful feeling.

Qian Renxue stared blankly, utterly unable to believe something like this had happened today.

She had intended to probe Bofeng for information and, while she was at it, conquer him completely.

Yet in the end, it was Qian Renxue herself who had lost.

Not only had she failed to gain anything, but she had gotten herself involved as well, and...

Losing her first kiss was one thing, but having to marry him afterward was the real issue. If her grandfather and that woman found out, Bofeng would be in danger.

(Bofeng: I'm not afraid. With my mom and dad, we're invincible throughout the world.)

Qian Renxue still felt lingering fear, but her heart was already in complete turmoil.

Outside the door, Xiao Bai covered her mouth and snickered. Brother Feng! Brother Feng!

Let Sister Bai lend you a hand!

Before the two could react, Xiao Bai took out a box. The moment she opened the lid—

Inside was that kind of medicine.

Spring...

And it was produced by their own store, guaranteed premium quality.

Quality assured, with returns accepted within seven days.

Truly an essential remedy for going out...

The medicinal powder was pink. Xiao Bai gently pinched a small clump between her fingers and carefully blew it inside.

Colorless and odorless, and seven times in one night—commonly known as "Seven Times Man."

Rumor had it that it sold quite well. On the day it first went on sale, every grown man in the city had rushed out to buy it...

The powder drifted into the room, and pink glimmers immediately flickered throughout the air.

Bofeng glanced around and hurriedly got to his feet, the lingering sweetness still on his lips.

But the medicine was simply too potent, leaving Bofeng's head dizzy and muddled.

Qian Renxue was the same. Her entire body had turned unbearably hot, and the way she looked at Bofeng became increasingly infatuated.

At that moment, Qian Renxue was like an angel fallen into the room. A hazy layer of pink covered her snow-white skin, and her slender arms wrapped around Bofeng's waist.

Then she took the initiative and kissed him. Though Bofeng outwardly tried to refuse, inwardly, he desperately wanted it.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai giggled. That brat had finally fallen for it.

It had been a year. Ever since Bofeng's Department Store had begun raking in money hand over fist, drawing countless customers—

Combined with Bofeng's handsome looks, more than half of which he had inherited from Bo Saixi's beauty—

There had been no shortage of noble ladies in the city who had tried more than once to curry favor with Bofeng.

But unfortunately for them, Bofeng had driven every one of them away.

Yes, driven away.

Seeing that Bofeng still could not find himself a wife, Xiao Bai had naturally been terribly anxious. Before leaving Sea God Island, the High Priest had personally instructed her that this was the one and only major matter.

Thus, Xiao Bai had actually been planning this for a long time.

Everything was ready; all that was missing was "Qian Renxue."

It truly was fate. If Qian Renxue had used her Spirit Bone to conceal herself and taken on the appearance of an ordinary woman, Xiao Bai would not have been able to carry out her plan.

As everyone knew, Qian Renxue's looks had always been the absolute best.

And then...

She caught Xiao Bai's eye. Once things were set in stone, was Xiao Bai supposed to worry about Qian Renxue running away?

By then, it would all be over.

Once a child was born, everything would naturally fall into place.

Xiao Bai gave Bofeng a thumbs-up, then quietly closed the door.

Bofeng opened one eye and used the last trace of strength in his body to look at Xiao Bai as she left with a smile on her face.

Sister Bai!

Sister Bai!!!

This was not entirely Xiao Bai's fault, either. She had raised Bofeng since he was little.

Bo Saixi was the Great High Priest of Sea God Island and was constantly busy with the island's affairs. Sometimes, when she was busy, she would not be seen for days on end.

Thus, the task of looking after little Bofeng naturally fell to Xiao Bai.

On the surface, Bofeng called Xiao Bai his sister.

But in another sense, Xiao Bai was Bofeng's stepmother. Who would not want their son to marry and have children sooner?

Besides, people in this world matured early.

It was no wonder Bo Saixi often urged him on. After all, Bofeng had once been a fine young man.

But when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Qian Renxue had gone completely numb. Her body did not want this, but the medicine Bofeng's own store made was simply too powerful.

Half resisting and half yielding, the two gradually...

Xiao Bai lay against the door, listening to the sounds coming from inside.

She smiled in satisfaction. Great High Priest, Xiao Bai has successfully completed the task you assigned. The next step will depend on Bofeng himself.

Xiao Bai was in a good mood today, and she ordered that no matter who came, no one was to disturb Bofeng.

The night was hazy, and a spring night was hard to endure.

Inside the room, Bofeng slumped off to one side while tears filled Qian Renxue's eyes. What the hell was this?!

Fortunately, before the last danger came to pass, Bofeng used the Sea God's Crown in time to dispel the medicine's effects, and they had not gone through with the final step.

But...

Aside from that final step, they had done more or less everything else.

This had only been a small clump of "Seven Times Man" powder. If Xiao Bai had put in a little more back then, the effects would have been absolutely insane.

It would have been far more than seven times in one night!!!

Bofeng looked at Qian Renxue, who was curled up on the bed with lifeless eyes as tears silently streamed down her face.

"I'm sorry! This time, I was wrong. I... will take responsibility for you."

Qian Renxue looked at Bofeng beside her and gave a bitter smile. "Take responsibility? Can you even bear that responsibility? Do you know how much trouble this will bring you?"

"Trouble?"

Bofeng gently shook his head, then sat down beside Qian Renxue.

"What happened has already happened. Although we didn't take the final step..."

Qian Renxue immediately shot him a warning look, and Bofeng could not bring himself to continue.

"This is already a settled matter. I can't avoid responsibility either. Can you tell me your name?"

Qian Renxue took a deep breath. "Wang Xue."

"Wang Xue." Bofeng nodded. "It really is a lovely name."

Things had developed beyond what Qian Renxue had anticipated.

Returning was no longer possible. With "Xue Qinghe" in the palace, she could stay here without worry.

Bofeng's true identity was the only thing she truly cared about.

For a year, she had used Xue Qinghe's identity to speak with Bofeng.

This mysterious young man had long since been designated as her "prey" in her heart.

As a qualified hunter, pursuing and conquering her "prey" was Qian Renxue's mission.

Now, their roles had reversed.

Bofeng had become the hunter, while Qian Renxue had become the prey.

The two had a good relationship, but that was only between Xue Qinghe and Bofeng.

Not Qian Renxue and Bofeng...

What had happened had already happened, even if they had not taken the final step.

If Qian Renxue were to marry someone, this would be the greatest shadow in her heart. A woman's chastity was of utmost importance, especially for someone like Qian Renxue. The Six-winged Angel represented purity and holiness.

Qian Renxue looked at Bofeng and let out a helpless sigh...

Forget it. She would try being with him and see. What if they were a good match?
