"Hehe, that's a secret!" Li Hejun said, beaming.
As she spoke, she exchanged a look with Yu Feng'Er, as if they had reached an agreement, and they both started laughing mischievously.
"Hmph, so you're teaming up against me, are you?" Lü Zhong snorted.
Seeing the two women's incessant laughter, he felt his pride was wounded. His expression turned cold as he uttered a threat, "In that case, neither of you should expect to get out of bed tomorrow!"
And he was a man of his word.
...
The morning after, Lü Zhong awoke at the crack of dawn.
His expression soured as he gazed at the sleeping Yu Feng'Er. He raised his hand, summoning the Golden Sun Insect Fire. The Spirit Fire was much weaker than before, its color noticeably paler. He had used it the previous night to neutralize her Ice Soul Spiritual Energy. While the benefits had been substantial, the toll on the fire's Spiritual Attribute was equally clear.
Gently moving her limbs from around his body, Lü Zhong slipped out of bed.
