Kiss

By the time Bai Xiao had finished collecting the genes of the Immortal Herbs, it was already late at night. Since he and Dugu Yan had established their relationship, she insisted on holding him while they slept. Bai Xiao could not refuse her, so Dugu Yan held Bai Xiao, who was a head shorter than her, as they slept in the same bed.

Only then did Bai Xiao understand how Tang San felt. Were mature women fragrant? Bai Xiao answered, "Absolutely!"

"They're definitely more fragrant than a loli like Xiao Wu!" Bai Xiao sighed from personal experience.

When Dugu Yan got up the next morning, she saw Bai Xiao with dark circles beneath his eyes. She could not help teasing him. "Well? Was big sister's embrace fragrant, Xinghe? From now on, we'll sleep together every day!"

Bai Xiao, who had just begun to feel sleepy, became excited again. He truly was "in pain and happy" right now.

Seeing the state Bai Xiao was in, Dugu Yan could not help flashing him a dazzling smile. It left Bai Xiao staring blankly. At that moment, Bai Xiao truly fell in love with this quirky young girl, silently resolving to protect her for the rest of his life.

When Dugu Yan noticed Bai Xiao staring at her in a daze, her little face turned red, making her look even more adorable in his eyes. Bai Xiao could not help saying, "So cute!"

However, those words left Dugu Yan, who usually called herself his big sister in front of Bai Xiao, both embarrassed and angry. She felt as though Bai Xiao had bullied her. To get revenge on him, she actually leaned in and kissed him.

Still half-asleep, Bai Xiao only felt something soft touch his lips. A pretty face was pressed close to his. Startled, his sluggish brain took several seconds to realize what had happened. In those few seconds, Bai Xiao deeply experienced what it meant for the body's instincts to surpass conscious thought.

Just as the two began losing themselves in the sensation, a bout of coughing came from beside them. Only then did their reason return. They suddenly remembered that Dugu Bo was still there, and immediately separated their lips. Both lowered their heads and fell silent.

Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo wondered, Should I be happy, or should I be angry?

And so, the three of them fell into silence.

Bai Xiao was the one who broke it. "Since it's daylight, I'll begin detoxifying Yan'er and Grandpa!"

Dugu Yan kept her head lowered and replied in a voice as soft as a mosquito's, "Mm."

Dugu Bo was still lost in thought and casually replied, "Mm."

Following Rem's prompt, Bai Xiao picked up an Immortal Herb and put it in his mouth. "Mm, refreshing!" Bai Xiao instantly felt invigorated and could not help smacking his lips.

When Dugu Yan saw this, her little face immediately turned red again. "Hmph, pervert!"

Bai Xiao: "?" What happened? Bai Xiao then thought to himself, Girl, did you misunderstand something?

Bai Xiao silently called out, Rem, retrieve the experimental analysis results!

The previous night, Bai Xiao had taken a drop of blood from both Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo. After using his Martial Soul for Assimilation, he handed the data over to Rem for analysis. Following a night of analysis and simulated experiments, Rem gave Bai Xiao a precise solution for the snake venom within Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo.

Using a special technique, Bai Xiao extracted part of the Immortal Herb. He handed control of his own Soul Power to Rem. With her formidable computational ability, Rem could precisely control the quantities of every ingredient, allowing her to produce a foolproof medicine.

Dugu Yan stared seriously at Bai Xiao. Watching the boy prepare the medicine without taking his eyes off it, she happily repeated in her heart, That's my husband! That's my husband! Dugu Bo, meanwhile, sat like The Thinker, contemplating something.

In truth, Dugu Yan had misunderstood Bai Xiao. His own Soul Power Level was not high, and even under the control of an artificial intelligence with Rem's extraordinary computational power, his Soul Power could not move too far away from his body. That was why he had to stay close to the workbench. As for why he did not look away, it was because Bai Xiao's spiritual power was too weak, and Rem needed to use his line of sight to observe the medicine preparation.
