Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 647 The Enhancement of Soul Power, Warmth
Zhu Zhuqing could sense that this power not only greatly enhanced her soul strength and physical attributes, but also seemed to have given her something deeper—an understanding of combat and the laws of killing.

"What are you thinking about?"

Dai Chengfeng's voice suddenly rang out, startling Zhu Zhuqing, and the light in her palm instantly dissipated.

She looked up and saw that Dai Chengfeng had returned, carrying a tray in his hand.

He changed into a simple dark-colored loungewear set, his hair still a little damp, clearly having quickly washed up.

"It's nothing," Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, her gaze falling on the tray in his hands. "So fast?"

“The kitchen always keeps food on hand,” Dai Chengfeng said, walking to the bedside and placing the tray on the bedside table. “I heated it up.”

On the tray was a bowl of steaming white porridge, several delicate side dishes—cold cucumber salad, stir-fried bamboo shoots, braised tofu, and a small basket of crystal-clear shrimp dumplings.

There was also a cup of warm milk on the side.

"I didn't know what you wanted to eat, so I just took a little of everything." Dai Chengfeng sat down by the bed, picked up the bowl of porridge, and said, "Here, have some porridge to warm your stomach first."

Zhu Zhuqing reached out to take it, but Dai Chengfeng avoided her.

"I feed you."

“I can do it myself…” Zhu Zhuqing protested softly.

“You can,” Dai Chengfeng scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it gently, and brought it to her lips, “but I want to feed you.”

His gaze was gentle yet resolute.

Zhu Zhuqing stared at him for a moment, then finally gave in, slightly opening her mouth and taking the spoon into her mouth.

The warm porridge slid down my throat, carrying the unique fragrance of rice grains, instantly warming my stomach.

Dai Chengfeng watched her swallow before scooping up the second spoonful.

"Would you like some side dishes?"

"Ah."

Dai Chengfeng picked up a piece of cold cucumber salad with his chopsticks. The crisp cucumber had a slightly sour taste and the aroma of sesame oil, which was very appetizing.

Zhu Zhuqing ate slowly, and Dai Chengfeng patiently fed her, his movements so natural as if he had done it a thousand times before.

Only the faint sounds of bowls and spoons clattering and chewing filled the room.

The morning light grew brighter, shining through the window and bathing the two of them in a warm golden glow.

"You eat too," Zhu Zhuqing said softly after finishing a shrimp dumpling.

"I've already eaten." Dai Chengfeng smiled, but still picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it in his mouth.

He wasn't actually hungry, but he enjoyed the feeling of sharing food with her.

"How's the fusion of powers going?" he asked, scooping up another spoonful of porridge.

"It's alright," Zhu Zhuqing swallowed the food in her mouth, "I can feel how strong it is, but I still need to get used to controlling it. My soul power has increased by at least three levels, and my physical fitness has also improved a lot."

Dai Chengfeng nodded. "That's good."

Soon, Dai Chengfeng picked up a piece of dried bean curd and held it to her lips.

"Eat this."

Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth and took a bite; the sauce was rich and flavorful, and the texture was tender and chewy.

She chewed slowly, her gaze fixed on Dai Chengfeng's face.

In the morning light, his profile was clearly defined, with a clean and sharp jawline, a high nose bridge, and slightly pursed thin lips as he focused intently on the bowl and spoon in his hands.

This version of him is completely different from the domineering and ruthless Prince Xingluo on the battlefield.

"What are you looking at?" Dai Chengfeng noticed her gaze and turned to look at her.

"It's nothing." Zhu Zhuqing lowered her eyes, her ears slightly red.

Dai Chengfeng chuckled, not exposing her, and continued feeding her.

The bowl of porridge was quickly emptied, most of the side dishes were eaten, and only two shrimp dumplings remained.

"Are you full?" Dai Chengfeng asked.

"Yes, I'm full." Zhu Zhuqing nodded. Indeed, her stomach felt warm and her fatigue had lessened considerably.

Dai Chengfeng ate the remaining shrimp dumplings himself, then picked up the milk and brought it to her lips.

"Drink some milk." Zhu Zhuqing took small sips of warm milk from his hand, a little white milk stain on her lips.

Dai Chengfeng's eyes darkened, and he lowered his head to gently kiss away the milk stain.

Zhu Zhuqing's body stiffened, but she did not dodge.

The kiss was light and brief, lasting only a moment.

But it made her heart skip a beat.

"Is it sweet?" Dai Chengfeng asked in a low voice, his voice slightly hoarse.

"The milk... is still sweet," Zhu Zhuqing answered softly, her gaze wandering.

Dai Chengfeng chuckled softly, put down his cup, and wiped away the remaining moisture from her lips with his fingertips.

"What are your plans for today?" he asked, setting the tray aside.

“Cultivate and consolidate your power,” Zhu Zhuqing said without hesitation. “Although you said you wanted to rest, the fusion of power cannot be delayed. I want to go to the cultivation room.”

“I’ll go with you,” Dai Chengfeng said immediately.

"Don't you have any other matters to attend to?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

"Nothing's wrong this morning," Dai Chengfeng said casually. "I have something to do this afternoon, but it'll be over soon."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and did not refuse.

With him by her side, she did feel more at ease.

"Well... I'll go wash up first." She said, trying to get out of bed, but found that she was only wrapped in a blanket.

Her clothes...

Zhu Zhuqing's face turned red again.

Dai Chengfeng understood, got up and walked to the wardrobe, opened it, and took out a clean set of clothes—her usual training clothes, black tight-fitting clothes, suitable for activities.

"I had your clothes washed and dried yesterday." He placed the clothes by the bed. "Your underwear is in the drawer, take it yourself."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the bathroom. "I'll run a hot bath so you can take a bath and relieve your muscle soreness."

Zhu Zhuqing watched him walk into the bathroom, and soon the sound of running water could be heard.

She then threw off the covers and quickly got out of bed.

The moment my feet touched the carpet, my legs went weak and I almost lost my balance.

She held onto the bedside table for a few seconds before she adjusted to the soreness.

She walked to the wardrobe, opened the drawer, and found her underwear neatly folded inside. They were all clean and smelled of sunshine and soap.

She took out a set of clothes, then picked up the training clothes on the bed, hesitated for a moment, and then went into the bathroom.

The bathroom was steaming with heat. Dai Chengfeng had already filled the tub with hot water, and a few unknown dried flower petals floated on the surface, emitting a soothing fragrance.

“The water temperature is just right,” Dai Chengfeng tested the water temperature, stood up, and said, “You soak for a while, I’ll wait for you outside.”

He walked to the door, then turned back. "Call me if you need any help."

"No need!" Zhu Zhuqing said immediately, her face turning red again.

Dai Chengfeng smiled and went out, closing the door behind him.

Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief, put the clothes on the rack, and then stepped into the bathtub.

The warm water instantly enveloped her entire body, making her feel so comfortable that she couldn't help but sigh.

She submerged herself completely in the water, leaving only her face above the surface, closed her eyes, and felt the hot water soothe her muscle aches.

The fragrance of flowers floating in the water is very light and has a calming effect.

She soaked for about fifteen minutes and felt much more relaxed. Then she got up, dried herself off, and changed into clean clothes.

The training clothes fit her perfectly, and the black color made her skin look even whiter.

She dried her wet hair until it was half dry, loosely tied it at the back of her head with a hair tie, and then walked out of the bathroom.

Dai Chengfeng was standing by the window, looking out at the courtyard.

He turned around upon hearing the sound.
