Chapter 12: Unexpected Delights and Awkward Encounters

At the dining table, a handsome young man, a beautiful girl, and a cute, delicate loli made for what should have been a warm and harmonious family dinner.

However, the reality was quite different. The beautiful girl simply ate with her face flushed, burying herself in her food. The cute, black-haired loli exuded a gloomy, black aura, silently broadcasting a clear message:

‘Leave me alone.’ Meanwhile, the handsome youth could only gaze helplessly at the strangely tense atmosphere.

Yue Feng’s instincts screamed at him to leave immediately. True to his gut feeling, he quickly devoured his meal, then scurried out of the room like a frightened mouse.

Back at the table, Wang Yu slowly regained her composure. ‘Whew,’ she thought. ‘These siblings are truly a handful. Don’t get angry, don’t get angry.’

Taking a deep breath, she focused on her meal. ‘Food is fuel, after all.’ Wang Yu began to silently eat the dishes the girl had prepared.

‘Oh? This is delicious!’ The girl’s culinary skills must be truly exceptional. Wang Yu pushed all her previous embarrassment to the back of her mind, completely conquered by the exquisite flavors, blissfully savoring the feast.

Only when her belly was delightfully round and she could eat no more did Wang Yu finally set down her chopsticks, a look of utter satisfaction on her face.

She noticed the girl watching her with a gentle smile, which made Wang Yu blush slightly, recalling her less-than-elegant eating.

The girl didn’t seem to mind. Seeing Wang Yu had finished, she rose to clear the dishes, then carefully carried Wang Yu back to the bed before heading out to wash the tableware.

Wang Yu, still wary from their earlier conversation, dared not speak casually to the girl, fearing she might once again be led astray.

“Master, I thought meeting Yu’er alone was already a great joy, but I never expected to receive double the happiness on the same day.” Yue Feng sat on the rooftop, rubbing his face. “Being handsome is truly a curse.”

Shi Yang watched his disciple’s narcissistic display with utter disdain. He said nothing, nor did he try to stop him; in this state, Yue Feng’s shamelessness was truly boundless. He would calm down eventually.

Just then, the girl emerged with the cleaned dishes. Spotting her brother once again muttering to himself on the roof, she instinctively called out, “Brother, you’ve had a long day. Get some rest early.”

Yue Feng heard her voice and quickly replied, “Ah, Cai’er! I’m fine, not very tired. You two go ahead and rest.” It should have been a perfectly ordinary exchange, yet Yue Feng seemed somewhat flustered. The girl’s earlier ‘confession-like’ statement had left him unsure how to respond.

The girl saw her brother still staring at her and, remembering their previous conversation, her face instantly flushed. She lowered her head and murmured,

“I’ve heated water in the next room, Brother. Don’t forget to wash up. Yu’er-jie and I will rest once I’m done tidying.” With that, she scurried away like a frightened squirrel.

Yue Feng watched her fleeing figure, then stroked his chin. “Master, do you think what Yu’er said about Cai’er marrying her is true?”

‘Me… Why ask me?!’ As a lifelong bachelor, Shi Yang felt an overwhelming urge to hit someone.

***

As night fell, Wang Yu, held tightly like a pillow by the girl, found herself unable to sleep.

Firstly, the girl’s natural scent and her alluring softness were a constant stimulation, igniting a certain excitement in Wang Yu, who had been a single man just days ago.

Secondly, having already napped on Yue Feng’s back earlier, she wasn’t particularly sleepy.

Thus, Wang Yu quietly slipped out of Yue Cai’er’s embrace, her movements feather-light, careful not to wake her.

She walked to the desk and retrieved All Things Have Spirits, the book left by the transmigrator senior, from her storage ring, intending to study.

The events of the past few days had exhausted Wang Yu’s mind, but they had also starkly shown her the critical importance of strength on this continent.

With the annotations, Wang Yu could easily comprehend this secret manual, which would be as inscrutable as a heavenly tome to others in this world.

After reading for a while, Wang Yu quietly closed the book, tears streaming down her face.

She was once again experiencing the feeling of reading English articles back in the day: understanding every word when separated, yet utterly lost as to their combined meaning.

This was compounded by the inclusion of specialized terminology from this world. Clearly, this senior had never been a teacher.

“Alas, must I still ask them for help?” Wang Yu sighed. Although one of her reasons for traveling with them was to find a guide for cultivation, she had already accumulated so many favors that she no longer knew how to repay them.

Wang Yu tiptoed out of the room, looking around. She noticed a light still on in the room next door and hurried over, quietly pushing the door open to peek inside.

To her surprise, Yue Feng was sitting cross-legged in his boxers, his eyes fixed intently on her.

Yue Feng had just finished a comfortable bath and was about to cultivate for a while before resting. Suddenly, he sensed someone pushing open his door.

His five senses, greatly enhanced by his Innate Realm cultivation, could detect even the slightest rustle. Curious as to who it was, he saw a certain black-haired loli stealthily peeking into his room.

Seeing she had been discovered, Wang Yu no longer bothered to hide. She strode boldly into the room. “I need your help with something.”

With that, Wang Yu sat down beside Yue Feng, holding out the book.

But she quickly realized something was amiss. Yue Feng hadn’t taken the book; instead, he was staring at her with a burning intensity, as if he wanted to devour her.

It was then that she remembered she was wearing only the thin nightgown the girl had given her. Her fair skin and the faint blush on her chest were tantalizingly visible, a truly potent weapon. She noticed the prominent ‘tent’ beneath Yue Feng’s lower body.

Wang Yu’s face flushed, but then, realizing this was her doing, her expression immediately darkened. Her audacious behavior stemmed from unconsciously overlooking the fact that she had become a girl.

Back in her university dorm, it was common for male students to wander around in boxers; she simply hadn’t yet adapted to her change in identity.

Wang Yu took a deep breath, jumped off the bed, and darted out of the room, leaving behind a single phrase: “You have half an hour to sort yourself out.”

Yue Feng gazed wryly at the little loli who had fled the scene, sighing, “How irresponsible.” Catching the lingering scent of her fragrance, Yue Feng’s mind wandered, but he knew he had to resolve the situation himself.

Half an hour later, the door to Yue Feng’s room opened again. A small head poked in, looking around.

Wang Yu found Yue Feng already dressed and sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for her. She sniffed the air, detecting no peculiar scent, and then walked in, casually remarking, “That was pretty fast.”

Yue Feng’s face turned green. He pulled the clueless loli into his embrace, hooked her chin, and stared into her eyes. “Oh? Do you want to personally test whether I’m truly fast?”

Wang Yu truly wanted to slap herself for her loose tongue. She honestly admitted her mistake: “Sorry.”

Watching the obediently apologetic loli, Yue Feng nodded in satisfaction. “Alright, what do you need my help with?”

“Can you let me down first?” Wang Yu struggled in Yue Feng’s arms, but the disparity in strength was too great; she couldn’t break free.

“No,” he said. “Remember, you’re asking for my help right now. And remember what happened just now? If my self-control wasn’t so strong, I would have eaten you already.

Also, behave yourself, or I can’t guarantee I won’t lose control.” The loli’s squirming in his arms made his heart itch. ‘Just wait until I marry you; I’ll show you how I’ll torment you.’

“Oh.” Wang Yu instantly became docile, deciding to consider it her payment for the night.
