No manual from a great cultivator of the Killing Spirit Realm was found on the outsider. Ye Chu instructed Pang Shao and the others to drag him away for further handling. Ye Chu knew Pang Shao and his group’s methods. If the man truly had such a thing, they would find it sooner or later.
Sure enough, the next morning Pang Shao informed Ye Chu that the outsider had hidden the notebook somewhere. He had already sent people to retrieve it.
This made Ye Chu’s eyes light up. He asked Pang Shao to have someone make a copy and send it to him. Only then did he ask about Ye Yuanwu’s situation.
Speaking of Ye Yuanwu, Pang Shao immediately grew excited. “After that fellow was tormented by Auntie Liu almost to the point of collapse yesterday, I had someone throw him into a rubbish heap. He played so hard last night. He is probably still snoring away right now.”
Ye Chu could not help feeling sympathy for Ye Yuanwu. He thought to himself that falling into the hands of Pang Shao and the others this time would likely become a lifelong nightmare for him.
…
After leaving the Lamp Tower, Ye Chu went with Huang Lin to the residence the You family had given him. Huang Lin told Ye Chu that Bai Xuan had arranged for people to clean and tidy the place these past few days. She was most likely there at that moment.
The residence the You family had given was not far from the Huang residence. It had previously belonged to a noble family, but that family later fell into decline, and the You family bought it.
The residence was neither too big nor too small. The landscaping was well done, with two old trees at least a hundred years old standing in front of the gate. The environment suited Bai Xuan perfectly.
“Big Brother Ye Chu, I even arranged two maids and two servants for Sister Bai Xuan to command. Should not you thank me?” Huang Lin said proudly, as though seeking credit.
Ye Chu lightly flicked Huang Lin’s fair forehead with his finger and smiled. “Mm! If Pang Shao ever dares trouble you in the future, I will stand up for you.”
“Thank you, Big Brother Ye Chu!” Huang Lin excitedly hugged Ye Chu’s arm. All her efforts had been for this very promise from him.
Ye Chu smiled at Huang Lin, who still had the heart of a little girl, and walked with her to the residence. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Ye Chu saw Bai Xuan standing there with Yao Yao. Bai Xuan was directing two servants to move a flowerpot that was blocking the path.
Bai Xuan had her back to Ye Chu as she instructed the servants. Even from behind, her extremely alluring curves were visible. The softness of her body was palpable. Looking at this mature and enchanting figure, a smile could not help but appear on Ye Chu’s face.
“Sister Bai Xuan!” Before Ye Chu could speak, Huang Lin called out sweetly. She ran forward, hugged Bai Xuan’s arm, and said intimately, “With Sister Bai Xuan’s design, this residence has gone up several levels. You must reserve a room for me. In the future, whenever I come, I will stay here.”
“Alright!” Bai Xuan smiled and agreed. She was about to say more when she saw Ye Chu approaching. A look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face. With a hint of excitement in her tone, she asked, “When did you get back?”
“Last night. I was afraid of disturbing Sister Bai Xuan, so I did not tell you.” Ye Chu looked at Bai Xuan. She wore no hairpin. Her thick, lustrous black hair cascaded freely. Amidst the glossy strands, her flushed cheeks looked exceptionally delicate.
Being stared at so intently by Ye Chu, Bai Xuan gave him a light glare. She could not help recalling that passionate kiss they had shared that night, and an inexplicable shyness welled up inside her.
“Brother Ye Chu!” Yao Yao excitedly hugged Ye Chu’s leg and tugged at his clothes, wanting him to pick her up. Her small, clear eyes paired with her tender white face made her look incredibly cute and beautiful.
Ye Chu reached down and lifted Yao Yao into his arms. He planted a kiss on her cheek and smiled. “Did Yao Yao miss me?”
“Yes! Auntie missed you too!” Yao Yao giggled, wrapping her arms around Ye Chu’s neck. “I wanted Brother Ye Chu to buy me yummy food, but when I asked Auntie what I should get you to buy, she would not tell me.”
Hearing this, Ye Chu looked at Bai Xuan with a smile in his eyes. Her delicate face was flushed pink. Her shy, bright eyes were soft and enchanting. She had no idea how to respond to Yao Yao’s words.
“Yao Yao! Go play with your Sister Huang Lin!” Ye Chu set Yao Yao down and let her run off to join Huang Lin, who was already planning her own room.
“Does the residence still need any more items?” Ye Chu asked Bai Xuan.
“No need. Huang Lin, Liu Shaoyang, and the others have already sent everything necessary. It is almost all prepared. We can move in directly.” Bai Xuan shook her head. Seeing Ye Chu staring at her so intently, peach-blossom pink spread across her face.
Ye Chu asked Bai Xuan to show him the rooms. When he saw that his room was quite far from hers, he called over two servants and pointed at the room next to Bai Xuan’s. “Move all my things here and switch it with this one.”
Ignoring Bai Xuan’s protests, Ye Chu insisted the servants do as he said. Once everything was rearranged to his satisfaction, Ye Chu nodded approvingly. “The view here is the best. Sister Bai Xuan actually wanted to keep it all to herself.”
Bai Xuan laughed helplessly. “Then I will let you have it all to yourself. How about I move over there?”
“Uh! I think that side is pretty nice too!” Ye Chu grinned slyly.
“I am going to the room to change clothes!” Bai Xuan pointed at her clothes, which were dusty from cleaning the residence, and said to Ye Chu.
As Bai Xuan walked inside and prepared to close the door, Ye Chu naturally would not let such an opportunity slip by. “I am worried Yao Yao might have a runny nose later. I will go to your room and get a handkerchief.”
Ye Chu squeezed through the door. Bai Xuan had no choice but to fetch a handkerchief and hand it to him. Yet Ye Chu did not leave. Instead, he sat down on a chair, crossed his legs, poured himself a cup of water, and drank it slowly. His gaze rested on Bai Xuan, moving over her rounded curves and the perky snowy peaks.
“Are you leaving or not?” Bai Xuan bit her lip. Her lips, faintly red like mist, looked irresistibly alluring when bitten.
“Sister Bai Xuan, just change. I am exhausted. I will rest a while and leave soon.” Ye Chu smiled at Bai Xuan.
Bai Xuan was so annoyed she almost wanted to dump the cup of water over his head.
“Sister Bai Xuan, go ahead and change. I will not look.” Ye Chu opened his eyes wide and smiled at Bai Xuan.
Bai Xuan nearly cursed aloud. She thought to herself that his eyes were wide open, yet he had the nerve to say he would not peek.
“Sister Bai Xuan, you are not too shy to change clothes, are you? How about I help you change instead?” Ye Chu looked at Bai Xuan. “Though I have never worn women’s clothes, with my intelligence, helping you change into a set should not be a problem.”
Bai Xuan saw Ye Chu staring at her. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She stepped forward, intending to grab Ye Chu and drag him out of the room.
Ye Chu felt Bai Xuan’s soft hand pull him. He reached out and gave a sudden tug. Bai Xuan lost her balance and was pulled straight into his embrace.
