"No way, no way. I worked so hard today—you've got to pay extra!" Ye Feng bargained.
He knew Qian Renxue had worn herself out from all the fun today and probably didn't have much energy left for the night. But one "all-you-can-eat" session definitely wasn't enough.
"F-fine… Got it. Then… you can have it every day from now on. That should be enough, right…?" Qian Renxue muttered softly.
"Mhm, that's more like it~" Ye Feng was satisfied.
He then got off the bed and gently took hold of Qian Renxue's petite feet, massaging them.
Her feet were soft and warm to the touch.
Even though she had walked all day, her cultivation as a Soul Saint allowed her to maintain an "Immaculate Body," meaning she hardly ever sweated under normal circumstances.
Aside from a faint stuffy scent, her natural fragrance was far more prominent.
Under the white light, her delicate toes shimmered, wrapped in sheer white Icesilk Stockings that clung to her rosy arches. Through the sheer fabric, the rounded nail beds peeked through, glowing with a healthy pink hue.
Ye Feng pressed his thumb gently against her arch.
"Ngh…"
A soft whimper escaped Qian Renxue's throat, her toes curling slightly under his touch.
She quickly grabbed a pillow and covered her head, clearly not wanting Ye Feng to see her flushed face.
Originally, she had thought that letting Ye Feng massage her feet would help her sleep peacefully.
But now she realized she was wrong…
Any drowsiness she had felt earlier vanished instantly—thanks to him, she was wide awake now!
"Don't make noises like that—it sounds like I'm doing something to you…"
Ye Feng lightly tapped the top of her foot, exasperated.
He had been admiring them, but her little sound interrupted him, filling his mind with less-than-wholesome thoughts.
"You're the one pressing so hard…"
Qian Renxue gave him a light kick, complaining in a soft, sticky voice.
"Haha, still getting the hang of it. I'll practice more next time~"
Ye Feng chuckled.
However, it didn't take long before Qian Renxue noticed something strange.
She suddenly felt something extra against the sole of her foot.
From the sensation alone, she instantly understood…
This jerk—he had promised a massage, and just a few minutes in…
Though exasperated, she still tried her best to cooperate. After all, she had agreed to this.
...
Half an hour later.
Qian Renxue felt a warmth spread across the top of her foot.
"Not bad~"
Ye Feng exhaled deeply, barely satisfied.
"Idiot… help me clean up…"
Qian Renxue gave him another light kick, whispering.
"Got it, got it…"
Ye Feng then pulled off her stockings and tossed them into the trash.
He fetched a warm towel and meticulously wiped her feet clean.
"If there's nothing else… I'm going to sleep…"
Only after Ye Feng finished cleaning her did Qian Renxue finally pull her feet back, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket.
"Why bundle up so much? It's not like I'll do anything."
Ye Feng flopped onto the bed, casually pulling Qian Renxue toward him.
"Do you even believe your own words???"
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at him.
If she didn't wrap herself up tight, she'd definitely get bullied by him tonight.
"You don't trust me—that's no good. Besides, we're already sharing a bed. Who sleeps separately like this?"
Ignoring her protests, Ye Feng tugged the blanket open and slipped inside.
"Then… then you're not allowed to do anything else bad…"
Qian Renxue felt the warmth in her embrace and the faint fragrance that wafted toward her, her cheeks growing increasingly flushed.
"Not tonight."
Ye Feng planted a kiss on the tip of Qian Renxue's delicate nose, thoroughly satisfied.
"Hmph, you'd better not..."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue finally relaxed.
She then nestled closer, burying her head in Ye Feng's chest.
Soon, exhaustion overtook her, and she drifted into a deep sleep, a faint smile lingering on her lips.
...
...
The next morning.
Bright sunlight filtered through the gauzy curtains, casting a glow over the soft bed.
Ye Feng opened his eyes, feeling completely at ease.
Qian Renxue, however, remained curled up under the covers, clinging tightly to Ye Feng with her face buried in his chest, her breathing steady.
She had actually woken up long ago—after all, at their level of cultivation, sleep wasn't necessary. Even if they did rest to recover energy, half an hour was more than enough.
Yet, for some reason, she found herself savoring this tranquil moment.
When she had been playing the role of "Xue Qinghe," she appeared carefree on the surface, but the pressure she carried was something only she truly understood.
Now, however, she felt inexplicably at ease—especially with such a powerful man as her support. The weight on her shoulders had lightened considerably.
She even had the impulsive thought of simply eloping with Ye Feng...
Before, she might have hesitated, reluctant to abandon the fruits of her decade-long undercover efforts. But now...
She felt that if she could stay like this with Ye Feng forever, giving up those ten years of hard work might not be so bad.
Noticing the subtle movements of Qian Renxue's body, Ye Feng realized she was awake—and seemingly lost in thought. He patted her head gently and teased, "What's on your mind? The sun's already up—aren't you getting out of bed?"
"Mmm... just a little longer..."
Qian Renxue covered her head and nuzzled deeper into Ye Feng's embrace, her voice soft and coquettish.
But soon, she sensed something unusual—something pressing against her stomach.
She hadn't changed out of her clothes last night.
And Ye Feng had gone to bed completely bare.
"Stop squirming, or I might 'lose my temper,'" Ye Feng warned, ruffling her hair.
"You... didn't we just... last night?"
Qian Renxue was stunned.
This was just inhuman!
"Hurry up and take care of it. I still need to get up and make you breakfast," Ye Feng said.
"Jerk!"
Qian Renxue was furious but helpless.
She could only duck under the covers, wrap her hands in "Holy Light," and then...
...
...
Half an hour later.
Qian Renxue held two large steamed buns Ye Feng had bought from outside, her expression full of resentment.
"You promised me breakfast, you liar..."
She took an angry bite out of the bun, pouting.
She had wanted to taste Ye Feng's cooking...
"Haha, I'll make it up to you next time. For now, let's hurry and get ready~"
Ye Feng laughed.
"Hmph~ That's more like it~"
Qian Renxue gave a playful huff before heading into the adjacent room to change.
After all, today was the day she would meet Ye Feng's family.
She definitely wanted to look her best.
Before long, Qian Renxue emerged, now dressed in a white chiffon dress. The fitted waist was adorned with silver-embroidered lace butterflies that shimmered faintly as she moved.
Beneath the knee-length skirt, her slender legs were sheathed in pearl-white stockings, a delicate silver bell dangling at her ankle. With each step in her white st
ilettos, the soft chime of the bell followed.
Her smooth golden hair cascaded down her back, her lips tinted a soft pink, with only a light brown eyeshadow brushed at the corners of her eyes.
Though wearing only light makeup, Qian Renxue's natural beauty remained impossible to conceal.
