Master Fu answered the phone in a second.

"You rascal, you're back!"

"Huh, how did you know it was me?"

"Bei Kuang wouldn't call me unless there's trouble. Besides, he already called me three hours ago."

Lin Xiao chuckled. "You're practically a psychic!"

"Spill it. What really happened?"

Lin Xiao didn't hide anything, telling his master the full story.

After listening, his master snapped coldly, "What a shrew. You were lucky to be so clever; otherwise, all your efforts would have been for nothing!"

"Yeah, I think I'm pretty clever too. But, old man, you know Fu Xiaoyun?"

"I know her, but I wish I didn't," Master Fu said with displeasure.

"Do you two have some kind of grudge?"

"We have no grudge against her!"

"Then why did she want to kill me?"

Master Fu fell silent.

"Old man, is there some connection between her and me?"

"Kid, we'll tell you when the time is right. But that time isn't now."

Seeing that his master refused to reveal the truth, Lin Xiao felt somewhat frustrated, but he didn't let it bother him too much. After all, the truth would come to light someday. Since he didn't want to talk about it now, Lin Xiao couldn't be bothered to press the issue.

"Alright, I get it. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

"Wait a moment."

"What else?"

"The situation is getting more complicated. You should get rid of that idiot Chu Liangcai. His existence is a huge threat to you!"

"He's already dead," Lin Xiao said dismissively.

"Well done!"

"I think so too!" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Don't let your guard down. You need to regain your cultivation as soon as possible. This isn't a game. If something like tonight happens again, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"

"I know."

"Alright, hanging up."

After they hung up, Lin Xiao tossed the phone back to Bei Kuang.

"Go get some rest."

"Dragon Lord, perhaps I should stand guard here!"

"It's fine. I'll contact you if anything really happens."

Bei Kuang nodded. "Alright then."

They said their goodbyes, and Lin Xiao turned and went back inside the villa.

Su Qingning was still sleeping. Lin Xiao quickly washed up before lying down next to her.

Perhaps sensing his presence, Su Qingning subconsciously burrowed into his arms, and he wrapped his arms around her.

Despite not having closed his eyes all night, Lin Xiao wasn't the slightest bit sleepy. His mind was replaying the night's events.

Master Fu was right. It was a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune tonight. It's a good thing that Fu Xiaoyun didn't check inside the cave. Otherwise, Shen Jingzhe and I would have definitely been exposed.

The incident served as a wake-up call, making him realize that he indeed needed to regain his cultivation as soon as possible. But when he remembered Su Qingning was still on her period, his mood instantly soured.

Counting the days, it's only been three. It'll be a few more before it's over. So frustrating!

When Su Qingning woke up, it was almost nine in the morning. The bar had been bustling the night before, and the constant rush had left her utterly exhausted. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Xiao. A warmth filled her heart, and she instinctively hugged him tighter.

"Morning, honey!"

Lin Xiao laughed. "It's hardly morning anymore. The sun's been up for ages!"

As he spoke, his hand began to wander over her shapely hips.

Su Qingning's cheeks flushed red. "Stop it!"

She grabbed his hand, not letting him grope her. Lin Xiao kissed her on the forehead, unable to help but praise her. "Honey, you're so beautiful."

It wasn't just sweet talk; she truly was beautiful. Even having just woken up, she was still stunningly gorgeous.

"Stop with the sweet talk. You go back to sleep; I'll make you breakfast."

"Honey, I am a bit hungry, but not for food," Lin Xiao said with a smile, hugging her tight.

"Then what do you want to eat?"

Lin Xiao whispered into her ear, a mischievous grin on his face, "I want to eat you."

A blush instantly bloomed across Su Qingning's fair cheeks, spreading all the way to the tips of her ears. Overcome with shyness, she buried her head in Lin Xiao's chest.

"Stop it! I'm still on my period!"

A surge of joy went through Lin Xiao. "Honey, does that mean that once your period is over… I can have you?"

"Hmph, in your dreams! I'm not letting you!" Su Qingning retorted coquettishly.

She's not against it! Lin Xiao was ecstatic. He realized she wouldn't have used such a playful tone if she was truly opposed to the idea. He felt like crying with joy. He felt as though he could already see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Holding Su Qingning's soft, warm body, Lin Xiao excitedly kissed her a few more times, making her even more bashful. She stayed curled up in his arms for a while before she managed to calm herself down. After being affectionate for a bit longer, Su Qingning got up to make breakfast.

Lin Xiao lay on the soft, large bed, inhaling Su Qingning's lingering scent as sunlight filled the room. In that moment, he felt an immense sense of happiness.

When Su Qingning was almost done with breakfast, Lin Xiao came downstairs. Shao Mei'er was also awake, sitting at the dining table and waiting for Su Qingning to serve her. Today, she was dressed as provocatively as ever. She wore an extremely short hip-hugging skirt, revealing a pair of long legs wrapped in black stockings. Her sultry figure instantly made Lin Xiao's "little brother" want to stand at attention.

Lin Xiao sat down opposite her while Su Qingning was busy in the kitchen. The moment he was seated, Shao Mei'er gave him a sultry look from across the table, followed by a blown kiss.

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes at her.

Shao Mei'er gave a seductive smile. "You stinker! You're so lucky."

"Yeah, I think so too," Lin Xiao said with a smile, his gaze drifting toward Su Qingning in the kitchen.

"You know, I can cook too!"

"Great. Starting tomorrow, you can make breakfast."

"Sure thing!" Shao Mei'er replied with a flirtatious smile.

As they were chatting, Su Qingning brought the breakfast over. After placing it on the table, she said, "Honey, you and Mei'er go ahead and eat. I'll go get Jing Zhe."

"I think she already went out," Lin Xiao said.

"Huh? How do you know?"

"Oh, I saw her from upstairs just now."

"Okay then. Let's eat."

Lin Xiao nodded. The breakfast was incredibly sumptuous, and there was no denying Su Qingning's impressive cooking skills. Lin Xiao ate heartily, enjoying it even more as Su Qingning kept adding food to his plate. Seeing this, Shao Mei'er didn't want to be outdone and began putting food on his plate as well.

Lin Xiao was about to protest when he suddenly felt something soft on his foot. He instinctively glanced down to see Shao Mei'er's black-stockinged foot brazenly pressing against his own.

He shot her a look.

Shao Mei'er was looking right back at him with a coy smile.
