Beautiful and Kindhearted

As night deepened, the brightly lit banquet hall gradually came to an end.

The drunken Baby Bunny was helped back to the embroidered tower by Lady of Anyang.

Ye Xingge, slightly tipsy, took his leave and walked along the small street outside the mansion, gazing at the silver moon in the sky.

Luo Xuanqing had also drunk quite a bit, his cheeks slightly flushed. Seeing that no one was around, he crossed his arms and leaned closer.

"How are you? Are you happy?"

Ye Xingge was happy to be toasted by more than a dozen girls, but he also felt a little embarrassed. He asked with a smile:

"I'm quite happy, but Sister Luo seems a little reserved."

"Hmph~"

Luo Xuanqing, constantly teased by the Baby Bunny, couldn't possibly let loose. After taking a few steps, he felt the atmosphere was getting a bit ambiguous, and thought for a moment before saying:

"You haven't finished telling the joke from last time, have you?"

Ye Xingge recalled briefly:

"Hmm... Inside the lonely pavilion, swords remain unsheathed, yet affection falters in the cold rain..."

Luo Xuanqing walked slowly along the stone bridge and the small street, seemingly listening quietly, but his eyes revealed a hint of absent-mindedness.

When Ye Xingge first arrived in the capital, she consulted a fortune teller and discovered that the two had a karmic connection, but it was a "Peach Blossom Baleful Intent."

She couldn't figure it out, so she mentioned it in her last letter to the Great Daoist nun, hoping she could help her calculate it.

The Great Daoist nun is not a deity, but her divine weapon, the 'Taihua Sword,' is Upper Corpse Weapon.

The Upper Corpse represents an extreme desire for material possessions and extravagance. It not only possesses the power to control all things, but can also deduce some causes and effects through divination and numerology.

Luo Xuanqing's original intention was to ask the Daoist nun to help her calculate whether this child was her destined person or something else.

The nun replied directly with a few words, roughly meaning:

The true laws of Heaven are not found in sacrifices, prayers, or divination.

Everyone has their own destiny, everything has its own suitability, and everyone's nature has its own appropriate course...

In short, it means:

You either like something or you don't. Just because God says it's not going to work out, does that mean you'll just accept your fate?

If I take a liking to this boy, then you should call me "Master Father," and I'll give him to you?

Luo Xuanqing thought it made a lot of sense.

The United Hearts Plaque can only be connected if the two people have a deep emotional bond. The fact that she was able to connect with Ye Xingge shows that she had already become attached to the concept of "attachment."

As a serene and aloof fairy of Mount Jiuhua, she must see her true self clearly.

So for the past few days I've been pondering whether I should confront my true feelings and admit that I have a karmic connection with this person, or continue to play the aloof fairy and pretend I don't know about this karmic connection...

Lost in thought, the two unknowingly returned to their home in Stone Bridge Alley.

Squeak~

The gate opened, revealing two courtyards.

Lost in these random thoughts, Luo Xuanqing unknowingly returned to the front door of his home in Stone Bridge Alley.

Squeak~

The gate opened, revealing two courtyards.

Luo Xuanqing, somewhat absent-minded, entered the courtyard, but Little Yezi, who was earnestly telling a story, stopped and turned back:

"What's wrong?"

Ye Xingge actually wanted to return to the inn to visit his first choice, but at this moment he looked at the sky:

"It's getting late, and Sister Luo has had a few drinks. If I go in now, I'm afraid it will be..."

Luo Xuanqing was quite surprised that this young man didn't follow him inside to ask for any perks.

But there seems to be no reason to actually keep Ye Xingge here.

Luo Xuanqing crossed his arms and pondered for a moment, then walked back into the house:

"Today's fighting will inevitably strain your muscles and bones. Have you ever heard of 'scratching the dragon's spine'? Let me give you a scratch..."

Catching the dragon...

Ye Xingge blinked, realizing this might not be an easy path forward. He straightened his robes slightly, entered the courtyard, and closed the gate.

Where's Niuniu?

"The government office is very busy, so it usually eats at Lord An's residence..."

As Luo Xuanqing spoke, he went into the study and took a small medicine box from the shelf:

"Go to the bedroom, take off your clothes."

Ye Xingge nodded slightly, turned around and went to the bedroom. She glanced at the familiar room furnishings, took off her clothes, lay down on the embroidered bed, draped a thin blanket around her waist, and waited expectantly.

Soon, the Great Beauty Luo, dressed in a light blue palace dress, came to the bedside and sat down, carrying a small box.

Her profile, both cool and alluring, with a hint of intoxication, was captivating in the candlelight.

However, Great Beauty Luo, maintained her boss-like demeanor, and after taking the essential oil from the box, she slightly raised her eyebrows:

"Turn over, lie face down."

Ye Xingge knew this was how it was, so she turned around, hugged her pillow, and lay down comfortably.

"Should we just grab it?"

Luo Xuanqing applied ointment to his fair hands, took off his shoes, and knelt on the bed, scanning his battered back:

"How do you think we'll catch them?"

"I thought... uh..."

Before he could finish speaking, he mounted the bike!

Luo Xuanqing slightly turned over, straddling Ye Xingge's lower back, gently rubbing his palms together, and then starting to relax his muscles from the trapezius muscles:

"Feels good, doesn't it?"

"Comfortable."

Ye Xingge thought that Great Beauty Luo was indeed generous; this was more like grabbing a dragon's spine.

However, before he could experience it for long, he heard a sound in his ear:

"What are you doing? Come back quickly, I'll read with you..."

The sound of Great Beauty muttering to herself.

Ye Xingge was not easy to communicate with, so he turned to ask:

"What kind of medicine is this? Is it specifically for massage?"

Luo Xuanqing, slightly tipsy, massaged his latissimus dorsi muscles and casually remarked:

"Golden Dew, it can nourish, brighten, moisturize, and remove scars. Ten jars cost per bottle. Normally, it's used by wealthy ladies for beauty purposes, but some people... cough..."

Realizing he had misspoke, he stopped abruptly.

Ye Xingge blinked, somewhat curious:

"What else is anyone doing?"

Luo Xuanqing had actually overheard these stories occasionally from the wives of powerful figures like the Eldest Princess while at work. Fueled by alcohol, he thought about it and actually lowered his posture.

"As women age and their beauty fades, some older ladies use this for beauty maintenance. It's said to make them smell nice. You probably wouldn't understand, would you?"

How could Ye Xingge not understand? He's simply gone from being a hater to a fan.

"Oh, really? Sister Luo doesn't need any skincare anyway..."

Snap--

No sooner had he finished speaking than a slap landed on his back.

Luo Xuanqing narrowed his eyes slightly. After taking the picture, he seriously began to grasp the dragon's spine, tracing it downwards along the spine:

"Wow, you know quite a lot! Who taught you?"

Ye Xingge did a somersault:

"Hiss~ I meant that Sister Luo is fair-skinned and beautiful, she doesn't need this."

"Hmph~"

Luo Xuanqing felt that this boy definitely knew what it meant, but felt that the topic had gone a bit too far and it was not appropriate to discuss it in detail, so he patted his back again:

"You didn't finish the joke, continue."

Ye Xingge lay back down, recalled briefly, and continued:

"Hmm... the wind and rain gradually subsided, and the two embraced as they went inside, exchanging loving glances..."

Great Beauty was listening in the background, and at this moment her brows visibly furrowed:

"Let's get serious. If you're going to give a massage, then give a proper massage... Come home early, I'll keep you company while you read. I'm already waiting at home..."

Gibberish...

Ye Xingge thought to himself, "We've already come this far, so I can't exactly say, 'To find out what happens next, stay tuned for the next chapter...'"

Luo Xuanqing listened attentively, and after finishing pushing the back, he had Ye Xingge turn over and continue working on his abdomen.

Ye Xingge ended up lying on his back with the Great Beauty Luo straddling his waist, making his speech a little incoherent.

Luo Xuanqing was actually recalling the details of hugging and nibbling in his dream, and found that the boy was unusually well-behaved today, not even thinking about touching the melon, which surprised him quite a bit.

Is he just shy...?

Luo Xuanqing pondered for a moment, then suddenly leaned closer, bracing herself against his broad chest with her arms, adopting a very aggressive, mature woman's stance.

"Young man, will you one day turn against me with swords, like the heartless men in the books?"

Great Beauty, who had been breathing heavily for a while, interrupted upon hearing the sound:

"You said you would, beat her three times a day..."

Ye Xingge shrugged and said, "Sister Luo, you're right. How could I do something so ungrateful?"

Luo Xuanqing snorted, "There are many stories in this world where people start out as close friends but end up as enemies. Who knows?"

Ye Xingge with a hint of helplessness, "No one can guarantee what will happen in the future. In time, Sister Luo will naturally understand."

Luo Xuanqing thought that made sense. He carefully Ye Xingge's face, then moved a few steps closer after thinking for a moment.

"You've kissed me, you've touched me; if I say our relationship is completely innocent, I'm only fooling myself. So from now on, in private, you can call me whatever you want, but in public, you must still address me as 'Sir,' understand?"

"Oh?"

Ye Xingge's eyes widened in surprise.

Great Beauty, upon discovering that the flirtatious girl had suddenly confirmed their relationship, clearly sensed something was amiss:

"If you refuse, just say she's a good person..."

How could Ye Xingge say such a thing? He smiled and said:

"Understood. From now on, I'll call you Lord Luo during the day and Xuanqing at night?"

Luo Xuanqing narrowed his eyes slightly:

"What are you thinking about? Call her Aunt Luo! She's my nephew in private."

"Ah?"

Ye Xingge hadn't expected that the Great Beauty Luo would like this kind of thing, so he thought for a moment and asked:

"So, what should I call Aunt Liu if I run into her in the future?"

"I have already returned to secular life; let each of us speak for ourselves."

"Well..."

Ye Xingge nodded slightly, agreeing.

Seeing that this brat was quite honest, not only did he not take advantage of her for any benefits, but he even became 'restrained', Luo Xuanqing was truly surprised. However, believing him to be beautiful and kind-hearted, she moved closer...

Their lips met.

The candlelight outside the curtains was dim.

A woman in a blue dress, with a superior posture, lay on the man's broad chest, lowered her head and kissed his lips, her cheeks flushed, but her aura still exuded a sense of superiority.

Meanwhile, in Peach Blossom Lane...

Hongyu had come all this way, holding a red jade pendant in her hands. When she realized this slut had really forced herself on him, her eyes widened in panic.

"That slut is simply..."

"Ye Xingge! You... you can just kiss her once, but you're not allowed to sleep with her!"

"Come back soon, I'll help you learn martial arts, and then I'll let you play with the Flower and Moon Pendant. I'll transform into a fox spirit for you, with nine tails..."

After muttering this for a while, and realizing that the other side was still talking, Hongyu couldn't sit still any longer.

After all, if the hot pot is eaten in the first bite, there are other ways to make up for it, but if a person is eaten, where can she find any other way to replenish herself?

But considering the bigger picture, she couldn't just rush over and pull his hair.

Hongyu paced back and forth in the room for a moment, then began chanting scriptures again:

"Haven't you kissed enough? If you don't come back soon, the reward will be gone..."

Ye Xingge wasn't pretending not to hear, he just couldn't speak. Only after the Great Beauty Luo sat up, satisfied, did he glance out the window.

"Sister Luo, it's getting late..."

"Um?"

Luo Xuanqing was quite puzzled by this.

After all, what kind of self-control does it take for a young, hot-blooded man to suppress his impulse to leave after being flirted with like that by his female boss?

Could it be that this kid is ignoring such a beautiful, aloof fairy and instead wants to risk his life...?

Thinking of this, Luo Xuanqing felt it was highly likely, and moved closer, a dangerous glint in his eyes:

"Do you want to go out and investigate a case?"

"How could that be? I was just afraid of disturbing Sister Luo's rest, um... I'll continue telling the story to lull Sister Luo to sleep..."

After clearing his throat, he began to chatter on and on...

Luo Xuanqing was half-believing and half-doubting. After thinking about it, he leaned against her chest, propped his chin up with his hand, and carefully examined the face so close to his.

Their eyes met, and she was still leaning against his broad chest. The ambiguous atmosphere was almost too much for her to bear, but it turned out that this guy really didn't have any intention of making a move on her!

Luo Xuanqing was very satisfied with this performance, and as a kind-hearted and beautiful Aunt Luo, it would be inappropriate not to give her a reward!

Luo Xuanqing pondered for a moment, recalling Ye Xingge's expectant look when he heard "grab the dragon's spine," so he lay down on his side in his arms, glanced at the pectoral and abdominal muscles, and drew circles on the pectoral muscles with his fingers.

?

Ye Xingge glanced at the aloof little sweetheart nestled in his arms and continued his storytelling:

"Hmm... Speaking of that aloof female knight-errant, remembering that she comes from Mount Jiuhua, she observes a vegetarian diet and keeps the precepts, so how could she dare to overstep the bounds... the bounds..."

Luo Xuanqing hadn't actually listened at all. Seeing that the kid was behaving well, his hand unconsciously slid down to his abs...

Hongyu held the token and listened carefully, discerning subtle sounds. Her peach-blossom eyes flickered slightly, as if to say:

How dare you hit my horse?!

Luo Xuanqing noticed the conversation had stopped and raised his eyes:

"Dislike?"

How could Ye Xingge not like it? He lay back down and continued telling the story.

"Hmph~"

Luo Xuanqing's face was flushed, and he leaned on her shoulder with his eyes closed, as if he were fast asleep after drinking.

Slurp~

Hongyu never expected that this slut would dare to pull such a stunt. Seeing the situation deteriorating, she gritted her teeth and said:

"She's drunk. You're a gentleman, don't take advantage of her..."

"Come back quickly, I... I'll help you with that..."

Luo Xuanqing pressed his hand to his chest and could hear the boy's heartbeat gradually quickening. Because he had been taught in his dream, he could even adjust his rhythm based on his blood and qi.

After massaging him for a long time, Luo Xuanqing realized that the boy had broken down and had fallen into a knowledge gap.

After all, in the dream she was being forced to keep her head down...

What to do now...?

After a moment's thought, Luo Xuanqing simply used the 'Spirit-Guided Qi Manipulation' technique, which was the Qi control method from the inverted cup experiment, capable of temporarily absorbing...

"Hiss..."

Ye Xingge looked as if he were being entangled by the octopus girl, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Luo Xuanqing's cheeks flushed red, but she still maintained the composure of a cool and aloof female boss and sat up.

Are you satisfied now?

"I'm satisfied! Sister Luo, your martial arts are amazing!"

"Hmph~"

Luo Xuanqing's hands were a little uncomfortable, so he got up and ran to the bathroom.

"If you're satisfied, go back to sleep early. Be at the yamen on time tomorrow. If you're late, I'll break your legs."

Ye Xingge felt that the Great Beauty Luo was still a little shy, so he got up, put on his robe, and went to the door:

"Then I'll head back now. Sister Luo, you should get some rest too."

"Go."

There was no response from the bathtub.

Clatter~

Soon, the door closed, and the footsteps faded into the distance.

In the bathroom, Luo Xuanqing listened intently, his face flushed. Only when the footsteps faded away did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief, realizing that tonight had gone a bit too far...

But this is much simpler than what I dreamed about...

As a pure and aloof fairy, one must face one's true self. How can one call oneself a nun if one is hesitant, indecisive, and caught between two difficult paths...?
