Bing Rong softly nodded her head while admiring the view.
She didn’t comment on it as she only wanted to enjoy the peace which she hadn’t felt in a long time.
Shen Yuan also didn’t mind her silence as he showed her his courtyard from one corner to another.
“Do you like my little place?” he lightly asked her.
“Mmnn.” She nodded her head with a soft sound.
He smiled lightly and continued exploring the place. And before they knew it, the both of them reached Shen Yuan’s bedroom.
Bing Rong took a deep breath as she felt Shen Yuan’s scent filling her entire being.
“Is this your room?” She tilted her head as she asked him lightly.
He nodded his head with a fond smile as they both entered inside the room.
Bing Rong looked around to see the neat room with light decorations and a bed inside.
“How is my room? Is it to your liking?” He turned around and looked at her while asking gently.
Bing Rong thought deeply about it before replying, “It’s good but…” she trailed off, making Shen Yuan curious.
He asked while moving a bit forward, “What is it that you don’t like in my room?”
Bing Rong put a finger on her chin, as if pondering deeply before she replied, “The decorations are too simple, and the design is also not good enough.”
Shen Yuan lightly laughed, “Well, that’s because I didn’t have enough time to decorate this room after coming here. We can decorate the courtyard I will get when I enter the Inner Sect though.” free𝑤ebnovel.com
He continued as he came in front of her, “And now that both you and Big Sis Huo Rong are here, you guys can help me decorate it.”
Bing Rong’s eyes lit up as she nodded her head softly, “Yes, that’s for sure. We can get the help of our disciples as well. They will be in our family as well from now on.”
Shen Yuan nodded his head, “Haha, those guys will help for sure, and we can invite Han Qingyu as well. I haven’t seen her since we joined the sect.”

“Hmm? Who is Han Qingyu?” Bing Rong raised an eyebrow in surprise as she asked Shen Yuan.
“Ah, I forgot to tell you about her. She is Han Ming’s sister, whom I found recently during my travel to the sect. Well, her situation was…” Shen Yuan told her how he found Han Qingyu while also telling Bing Rong about her clan and how they treated the siblings.
Bing Rong listened intently, hearing each detail as her expression turned from curiosity to pity.
“Sigh, what a poor girl,” she shook her head as she thought about Han Qingyu’s condition, “It’s good that you took her in; otherwise she might have worked herself to death due to those people.”
Shen Yuan raised his hand and caressed her cheek softly, “I really adore how you look cold on the outside but are always considerate about those surrounding you.”
Bing Rong’s cheeks turned red as she shyly lowered her head a little, “Where did this compliment come all of a sudden?” she asked in a low voice.
Shen Yuan chuckled as he pulled her into a hug, “It came from my adoration for my dear sister. You really are one of the kindest people I know.”
Bing Rong felt so embarrassed that she buried her face in his chest. “Mouuu, you!” She couldn’t find words to say back to him as she just tightened her hug.
“Woah woah, calm down, are you trying to kill your husband?” Shen Yuan jokingly said as he patted her back softly.
Bing Rong instantly released her grasp and looked at him worriedly, “Are you alright? Did I hurt you?”
Shen Yuan smiled and pinched her nose softly, “I’m perfectly fine, you little idiot. I was just messing with you, and look how easy it is to do that. Haha.”
Bing Rong’s cheeks flushed a deep red that spread all the way down her neck as she glared at Shen Yuan, then suddenly leaned forward and bit his hand. Shen Yuan’s eyes widened, feeling the sting sharper than he’d expected.
“Ouch! Ouch! Alright, I’m sorry! I was wrong! Let go of my hand!” Shen Yuan quickly pleaded, trying to tug his hand free, but nothing worked as her grip was not something he could free himself from.
After a moment, Bing Rong finally released his hand, huffing with a soft “Hmph!”
Shen Yuan rubbed his hand as he spoke while looking at her, “You didn’t have to bite that hard. Look, you even left marks, and that’s despite my high cultivation.”
Bing Rong glanced at the faint imprints of her teeth on his hand, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes. She reached out, her voice softening, “Give me your hand.”
He looked at her suspiciously, raising an eyebrow. “You’re not going to bite it again, are you?”
Her lips twitched in amusement as she gently took his hand.
Shen Yuan’s eyes widened as she brought his hand close to her mouth again, his heart skipping a beat. “Hey, hey, I was only kidding! There’s no need to take it seriously—”
Before he could finish, he felt the soft warmth of her tongue gliding over the bite marks, each lick sending a shiver down his spine.
Her tongue was wet and warm as it traced over the area she’d bitten, and he couldn’t deny the strange tingling heat spreading through his hand.
He swallowed, his voice barely a murmur. “What… what are you doing?”
Bing Rong didn’t respond, her focus entirely on his hand as she continued to lick the small wound gently.
He felt a comforting warmth from her saliva and soon realized it was actually healing the bite marks she’d left.
The sensation was unexpectedly gentle, almost intimate, and he found himself watching her in silence, entranced by the gentle care.
When she finally pulled back, she met his gaze with a hint of satisfaction and shyness in her eyes, “There. All better.”
Shen Yuan looked at his hand in wonder as he glanced between Bing Rong and his hand.
“How did you even do that? Is that due to the techniques of this sect?” he curiously asked as all the pain he was feeling was gone already.
Bing Rong’s face turned red at his question as she looked away. Shen Yuan felt his curiosity increasing as he asked her again, “Come on, tell me already. There is no need to keep secrets between us.”
Bing Rong’s eyes turned red as she answered in a low voice, “It’s due to my bloodline.”
Shen Yuan’s eyes lit up, “You unlocked a bloodline ability? That’s great, so what else can it do?”
Shen Yuan asked as Bloodline Abilities were some of the best techniques for a user to master.
They would increase in rank together with the user, so their ceiling was literally how high the cultivator could get with their potential.
But most bloodlines came with restrictions as they can’t get higher than the progenitor of that bloodline; that’s why cultivating was so much harder for beasts after reaching a certain point.
