“You don’t know this, but there was a swarm of black-robed cultivators standing there, and those people were not weak, but, hehe…”

She chuckled lightly: “In the end, I destroyed every one of them. I didn’t fight against the owner of the Black Lotus, but after he lost so many people, he’s become a clawless tiger. If he wants to deal with me again, he will have to redeploy!”

“I made use of the opportunity to come here before the owner of the Black Lotus came back. I was on the road for several days, and also took down a City Lord at the same time. Then I realised that you would be here soon, so I used the teleportation device to come back here.”

While she talked in the tub, Xuanyuan Mo Ze listened while lying on the bed. As he listened to her retelling the events, his heart slowly calmed down. He closed his eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep after a while.

After her bath, Feng Jiu dried her hair and went over to the bed. When she saw that he was asleep, she couldn’t help but smile and gently climbed into bed, then she pulled the quilt over the both of them and closed her eyes to rest in his arms.

After being busy all day and having consumed a lot of spirit energy, she fell asleep shortly after laying down on the bed.

Between seven and nine the next morning, Feng Jiu awoke and saw Xuanyuan Mo Ze, who was lying next to her, on his side facing her. He held his head in one hand and looked at her.

“You’re awake?”

A low and magnetic voice came out of Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s mouth as he looked at her confused half-asleep face. The corners of his lips twitched involuntarily and a smile blossomed on his lips, even his deep black pupils mirrored the smile.

“Yes.” Feng Jiu responded and rubbed her eyes. She looked at him again and asked: “Why did you wake up so early and just stare at me?”

“Because you were drooling. I was just wondering if I should wake you up.” He said with a smile.

“Ah?” Feng Jiu was dumbstruck and reached to wipe her mouth. Sure enough, there was drool. She couldn’t help but be embarrassed: “I’m going to wash myself.” She jumped out of bed quickly.

Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Mo Ze shook his head and smiled. When she was sound asleep earlier, her lips were moving and said something vague about something being delicious. She even drooled. He had looked at her with astonishment.

If they weren’t this close, he wouldn’t have seen her poor image while she was sleeping.

At this time, he also got up and got dressed, he said at the same time: “Let’s go for a walk out of the Manor today! It’s been a long time since I’ve been in this city. What would you like to eat? I’ll take you there.”

“But I still have to prepare the betrothal gift for my Elder Brother.” Feng Jiu came out after washing herself and looked at Xuanyuan Mo Ze, who was putting on his belt.

After tying the belt, Xuanyuan Mo Ze said: “It doesn’t matter, his betrothal gift is not urgent. We can go for a walk first, and if we see something good, we can also buy it and give it to him.”

Feng Jiu’s eyes lit up when she heard this: “This is a good idea, but we will have to go to the Black Market to buy any precious items.”

“Well, then let’s go to the Black Market, we can also take a look in other countries. Besides, it’s not that far away from here, and with our speed, it will only take us a day back and forth for the journey.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze said, as he went to wash up.

“Black Market! Let’s go to the Black Market first. Actually, my Elder Brother has kept aside many treasures over the years!” Feng Jiu said with a smile.
