Chapter 45 The Investiture Platform Appears
The rising sun finally pierced the darkness.

It sprinkled on the two people who were sleeping in each other's arms.

When Dai Yuntian opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Ye Xishui's stunningly beautiful sleeping face, which was right in front of him.

At this moment, her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyelids, her red lips were slightly pursed, and her sleeping face was as peaceful as an unguarded young girl.

He completely lacked the sharp edge of a leader of evil spirit masters.

Dai Yuntian could even clearly feel her steady breathing, gently brushing against his cheek.

He stirred slightly, trying to get up quietly.

However, the moment he made the slightest movement, the arms wrapped around his waist tightened instinctively.

Ye Xishui gave a lazy hum, not letting go, but instead burying her face even closer to his neck: "Don't move... sleep a little longer..."

This slightly coquettish nasal voice was completely different from the imposing Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Sect yesterday.

Dai Yuntian's body stiffened slightly, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Could it be that after last night's "divine nourishment," Ye Xishui developed an almost instinctive closeness and dependence on him?
Perhaps this is the most authentic appearance of a madman after all his disguises have been removed?
About fifteen minutes later, Ye Xishui's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and she finally woke up slowly.

The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Dai Yuntian's calm gaze.

The two remained intimately close, so close that they could see their own reflections in each other's pupils.

Ye Xishui was slightly taken aback, and then, all sorts of memories from last night instantly came flooding back.

She said jokingly, "Little one, have you seen enough?"

As she spoke, she naturally released her arms, sat up, and lazily stretched, her perfect curves revealed in the morning light.

She felt a significant improvement in her physical condition and was in a great mood. She turned to look at Dai Yuntian, who had also sat up, and asked, "How are you feeling? My little power bank?"

Dai Yuntian rubbed his slightly numb wrist: "I don't feel anything."

The divine power being sucked wasn't his, so what could he possibly feel?
"I see."

Ye Xishui smiled with satisfaction, got up and walked towards the bathroom: "I'm going to wash up, I'll take you somewhere later."

"Where?"

"The largest soul tool auction house in Mingdu."

Ye Xishui glanced back at him, a meaningful smile playing on her red lips: "Since I said I would be your protector, I should naturally keep my word. I'll give you a gift."

Dai Yuntian frowned: "I have money, I can buy it myself."

"The money in that card that Old Master Long gave you is only enough for you to watch the show. If you want to buy something really good, you'll have to rely on me."

Watching her graceful figure sway as she walked into the bathroom, Dai Yuntian took a deep breath.

It seems that this "protector" intends to formally intervene in his spiritual life in her own way.

……

Mingdu Auction House.

Ye Xishui led Dai Yuntian into the auction house.

She was clearly very familiar with the place; the waiters treated her with utmost respect and dared not be negligent in the slightest, leading her directly to the private room.

Dai Yuntian planned to rest outside for a while and get some fresh air before going into the private room.

Just then, a clear, delighted voice came from the side:

"Dai Yuntian, I didn't expect it to really be you! What are you doing here?"

Dai Yuntian turned his head upon hearing the sound.

Meng Hongchen was seen running over excitedly.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Dai Yuntian didn't have a strong impression of the white-haired girl, so he asked politely. Meng Hongchen suddenly realized and quickly explained, "I almost forgot, this is our first meeting. Hello, I'm Meng Hongchen."

Dai Yuntian was genuinely surprised that the person in front of him was Meng Hongchen: "Hello, I am Dai Yuntian."

"Yesterday on the school's track, you ran the entire physical fitness test all by yourself. You were so cool!"

Meng Hongchen clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkling: "I never expected to meet you here today! Are you also interested in today's Soul Guide Auction?"

Faced with this sudden enthusiasm, Dai Yuntian calmly replied, "Yes, I came to take a look."

Then she seemed to open a floodgate of words, chattering incessantly around Dai Yuntian.

Dai Yuntian maintained basic politeness and responded briefly.

Just then, Ye Xishui, who had gone to the private room, returned.

She immediately noticed that Dai Yuntian was being warmly surrounded by a strange but lively young girl.

Those alluring phoenix eyes narrowed instantly, a barely perceptible chill flashing across their depths.

The feeling was like having your own newly acquired, cherished toy suddenly being coveted by an outsider.

She walked gracefully to Dai Yuntian's side, her icy eyes fixed on Meng Hongchen.

Meng Hongchen felt uneasy under the sudden, powerful gaze of the beautiful woman.

She subconsciously took a half step back and asked timidly, "Ah... Auntie, are you Dai Yuntian's mother?"

Dai Yuntian was about to clarify, "She doesn't..."

"Yes."

Ye Xishui interrupted Dai Yuntian before he could finish speaking, and with an irresistible gesture, she easily lifted Dai Yuntian up by the waist.

He sat sideways in his arms like a giant doll.

She gave the dumbfounded Meng Hongchen a perfect but cold smile: "I am his mother, classmate. If there is nothing else, my son and I will take our leave."

After saying that, she didn't give Meng Hongchen a chance to speak again. Holding Dai Yuntian, she turned around and walked towards the VIP room area, leaving behind a noble and aloof figure.

Meng Hongchen stood there, stunned, watching the two figures leave "intimately".

It took a while to react.

Instead of being disappointed, Meng Hongchen's face flushed again. She cupped her cheeks in her hands and drifted into a strange fantasy:

"Oh dear! I didn't expect to meet the parents on our first meeting... I wonder what 'Auntie' thinks of me? She seems a bit serious..."

Just then, Xiao Hongchen walked over and patted his sister on the shoulder: "Meng, stop daydreaming, Grandpa's here, it's time to go into the private room."

……

Dai Yuntian leaned back on the sofa, rolling his eyes a few times in annoyance: "Do you think you were being funny just now? And you called yourself 'Mom'..."

Ye Xishui sat down lazily beside him, picked up the red wine the waiter brought, swirled it gently, and a playful smile curved her lips: "Hehe... How am I not funny? Come on, my good son, call me 'Mommy' and let me hear it?"

Dai Yuntian was too lazy to argue with her and turned his head to look at the auction stage outside the window.

His indifferent attitude only fueled Ye Xishui's almost perverse desire for control.

as time flows.

The auction will begin soon.

The previous items were mostly rare metals and high-end carving knives, which were quite valuable, but they didn't catch Ye Xishui's eye at all.

She listlessly fiddled with her wine glass until the auctioneer excitedly announced the next grand finale item.

"Distinguished guests, the next treasure is undoubtedly the highlight of this auction! It is a level nine soul tool crafted by a level nine soul master, and its name is—the Conferred God Platform!"
