What Did You Feed Me!

"A-Chen, did I say something wrong?" Seeing Lin Xuanchen suddenly fall silent, Wang Dong'er seemed to realize something and asked cautiously.

"It's nothing." Lin Xuanchen shook his head. "It's just that, apart from you, I have no family in this world."

"Huh? A-Chen, you're an orphan?" Wang Dong'er asked in surprise.

Only after the words left her mouth did Wang Dong'er realize what she had said. A flicker of guilt immediately crossed her beautiful pink-and-blue eyes.

"A-Chen... I'm sorry... I didn't know you were an orphan..." Wang Dong'er apologized softly.

"It's fine." Lin Xuanchen shook his head dismissively. He had already accepted reality when the system brought him to the Douluo Continent a year ago. How could a few words from Wang Dong'er make him angry?

"A-Chen, are you really not angry?" Wang Dong'er looked up at Lin Xuanchen and asked tentatively.

"Is your husband really that petty?" Lin Xuanchen found her cautious manner rather amusing and chuckled.

"Really?" Wang Dong'er blinked and asked.

"Really," Lin Xuanchen said with a nod.

"You're really not angry anymore?" Wang Dong'er continued asking.

"Really. I'm not angry," Lin Xuanchen said calmly.

"Really?" Wang Dong'er murmured.

"..." Watching Wang Dong'er persist with her questions, Lin Xuanchen couldn't help the twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Smack!

Lin Xuanchen raised his hand and swatted Wang Dong'er's pert bottom, producing a crisp smack.

"All right, now I'm angry. Now I'm going to spank you like I did when we first met." Lin Xuanchen gave a mischievous smile, his hand already sliding along Wang Dong'er's long, lovely legs and slipping inside.

"Mmph!"

At Lin Xuanchen's touch, Wang Dong'er's body immediately went limp. Feeling his mischievous hand, she couldn't keep a soft moan from escaping her red lips.

"A-Chen... you're so bad..." Wang Dong'er said weakly.

"All right, all right, I'll stop teasing you. Get out of my lap for now. Once I've packed up, we'll set off." Lin Xuanchen withdrew his hand and ruffled Wang Dong'er's hair.

"Mm-hmm." Wang Dong'er nodded gently and obediently slipped out of Lin Xuanchen's embrace.

"There are still so many immortal-grade medicinal herbs here at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. I'll just help myself to a few." Lin Xuanchen turned his gaze back to the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and murmured.

"Nine-Defilement Immortal Charm Fruit... I'll take it, I'll take it..."

"Aromatic Silk Beauty... I'll take it, I'll take it..."

"Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum... I'll take it, I'll take it..."

"Huh? There's even transformation grass? I'll take it, I'll take it..."

After a stretch of harvesting, only the hundred-thousand-year Immortal Herbs that had awakened their intelligence remained in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He had packed all those that had yet to awaken their intelligence into his Storage Ring, whether he recognized them or not.

Of course, just like Tang San, Lin Xuanchen had made sure to leave the roots behind. He had remembered something Yao Lao said to Xiao Yan in Battle Through the Heavens: when it came to such treasures of heaven and earth, their roots must never be severed.

Only after finishing all this did Lin Xuanchen stroll over to the Ice Empress, who was near the springs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Senior Ice Empress, I'm going to visit my girlfriend's home with her. You won't need to follow me for the time being," Lin Xuanchen said with a slight smile.

"Hmph!" The Ice Empress gave Lin Xuanchen an indifferent glance and snorted softly. "Even better. Saves me the trouble."

"Don't be so cold, Senior Ice Empress. We're going to be spending a decade or so together, after all." Lin Xuanchen smiled faintly, tapped his Storage Ring, and took out a length of ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow.

"Here, your reward." With a soft chuckle, Lin Xuanchen tossed the ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow to the Ice Empress.

Watching the ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow fly toward her, the Ice Empress instinctively reached out and caught it.

"Mm, very obedient. Good girl." Seeing her slightly dazed expression, Lin Xuanchen couldn't help teasing her in amusement.

"Oh, okay." The Ice Empress nodded blankly, then froze before finally realizing what he meant. She immediately glared at Lin Xuanchen and snapped, "Bastard! How dare you treat me like a pet!"

"Don't be angry. I'm just livening things up. There, there, let me smooth your fur." Lin Xuanchen grinned and reached out to rub the Ice Empress's head.

"Bastard! You lecher! You're touching my head again!" The touch on her head felt rather pleasant, but then the Ice Empress realized Lin Xuanchen was taking liberties with her again and scolded him indignantly.

"Bastard! I'm going to... mmph, mmph, mmph..." Just as the Ice Empress was about to erupt, Lin Xuanchen swiftly tapped his Storage Ring, took out a small piece of ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow, and stuffed it into her little mouth, blocking every word she had yet to utter.

"Gulp..." Caught completely off guard, the Ice Empress swallowed the tiny piece of ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow.

"Bastard! What did you feed me!" The Ice Empress took a step back and hurriedly wiped her little mouth, demanding angrily.

"That sort of thing, of course... heh heh heh..." Seeing the Ice Empress act as though she were facing a formidable enemy, Lin Xuanchen couldn't help finding it amusing. Deciding to tease this little tsundere girl, he deliberately lowered his voice and let out a few sinister chuckles.

Oh no! Could it be that sort of thing? The stuff used for matters between men and women... The Ice Empress smacked her tender pink lips, and several images unsuitable for children instantly surfaced in her mind.

"Damn you! Shameless, shameless, shameless! You humans really are all up to no good!" At the thought of those indecent images, the Ice Empress's pretty face flushed bright red. She glared at Lin Xuanchen and snapped.

"Whew."

The Ice Empress took a deep breath, then hurriedly began mobilizing the soul power within her body, trying to suppress the burning sensation she expected.

One minute later...

"Huh? Why isn't it there?" the Ice Empress muttered quietly.

No, no. The medicine must not have taken effect yet.

Another minute passed...

Huh? Something's wrong. Why does it feel like the ice-attribute soul power in my body has become more active?

This feeling... why does it feel like ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow?

No! No!

The drug definitely hasn't taken effect yet. How could that scoundrel possibly be kind enough to feed me ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow?

Hmph! Once I've neutralized the drug, I'll definitely teach that scoundrel a proper lesson!

One minute...

Two minutes...

Four minutes...

Eight minutes...

Ten minutes...

Gradually, more than ten minutes passed, yet the burning sensation the Ice Empress had anticipated never appeared.
