"Hmm?"
Xu Lai sat down next to his wife, wrapping his arm around her slender waist. He smiled. "Go ahead, I'm listening."
"..."
Ruan Tang shot him a glare. She then swatted away his misbehaving hand, chiding, "Be serious. This is important."
"Alright."
Xu Lai gently nibbled on Ruan Tang's earlobe. "We can be improper when we get back to the room."
Ruan Tang's body softened inexplicably. She grumbled, "I think I'm about to reach the Nascent Soul Realm."
"That's good."
Xu Lai responded absently, ready to carry his dear wife back to their room.
But on the stairs, he suddenly froze.
Xu Lai's neck was stiff as he looked at Ruan Tang. He asked hesitantly, "Honey, what did you just say?"
"I think I'm about to reach the Nascent Soul Realm."
"..."
Xu Lai extended a strand of his Divine Sense. As expected, his probing Divine Sense was blocked; the Five-Colored Golden Core could shield against such intrusions.
