After the end of the tournament. In the Ling family’s ancestral court hall.
The first elder and Master Lan sat at the front and following that were the other elders. Finally, Ling Chuxi, Ling Yichen, and Lan Xinyu sat at the back.
“Thank you, Master Lan for lending a hand this time.” Ling Yuanlong sincerely expressed his thanks with his fist cupped to his hand.
“Haha, no no. The person who should say thanks is me.” Master Lan happily gave a wide smile then looked at his own beloved granddaughter. Lan Xinyu also gave a wide smile.
Ling Yuanlong and the rest were completely perplexed, not understanding a word Master Lan meant. And Master Lan also did not make any further explanations, he just continued smiling till his eyes were nothing more than slits.
…
This threat was thus dissolved in such a manner. The Qin family and the Luo family no longer dared to look down on the Ling family, and the rise of the Ling family was a sure thing.
After this matter was solved, Ling Chuxi and the rest naturally had to return to the academy for their classes. The night before they left, Aunt Wang made a whole table of good food to send them off. Ling Chuxi ate till she was satisfied and rubbed her round tummy before finally stopping. Ling Yichen could not eat those oily, spicy food due to his injury, so Ling Chuxi kindly ‘helped’ him to settle them.
At night, after Aunt Wang helped Ling Chuxi to prepare a tub of hot water, she dismissed herself. Ling Chuxi quickly took off her clothes, hugged Little White, and got into the bath tub.
“Ah, Little White, tell me, is this area bigger than before?” asked Ling Chuxi, rubbing her own chest. “They say eating meat will help to nourish this area. Seems like it’s true.”
When Ling Chuxi had just transmigrated over, she felt that her chest was not so full. Since she started eating better than she had during the unhappy-without-meat days, she felt that there were indeed changes.
Little White turned its head as its paws leaned on the borders of the bath tub, shaking its ears. No one knew what it was thinking. Not noticing this, Ling Chuxi pulled Little White into her embrace from behind and started to bathe it. After washing up, Ling Chuxi dried her own body and wiped Little White’s fur, then hugged it to bed and fell into a deep sleep.
In the depth of the night, as Ling Chuxi was sleeping soundly, Little White who was originally in her embrace disappeared. Instead, a handsome man with a head full of silver hair stood by the bedside. A helpless smile was plastered on his face.
“Little thing, what am I going to do with you?”
Huangfu Qingjue bent down slightly, gently kissing Ling Chuxi’s forehead. She frowned slightly and opened her eyes. The moment she opened them, she saw a handsome face magnified before her.
“Ah!” A shocked Ling Chuxi was about to attack out of reflex before she realized that it was Huangfu Qingjue. “It’s you? Why are you here?” she asked in surprise.
Huangfu Qingjue did not answer Ling Chuxi’s question, but only stretched out his hand to gently caress her face.
He suddenly leaned in towards her ear, letting out a hot breath and said in a deep, charming voice, “Little thing, don’t simply tease me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to help eating you up…”
Ling Chuxi was stunned for a bit before reacting to Huangfu Qingjue’s words.
“What? What!” she sputtered. Instantly, her face turned red as she starting shouting like a wild cat who had its tail stepped on. “You, you, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I tease you?!”
After she finished speaking, Ling Chuxi realized that her heart was beating extremely fast at the moment. Huangfu Qingjue, this rascal suddenly appeared in her bedroom and even said such flirty words.
‘Just who exactly is teasing who? Hmph!’
