Fairy, don't be afraid, I, Wang Daqi, am truly an honest man.

Before recalling the past, Xia Chunlian felt that Wang Daqi was unusual.

She was so overwhelmed by her emotions that she completely succumbed to them, becoming the one who took control of the relationship...

Thinking about her bold actions just now, Xia Chunlian's cool and pretty face instantly turned red to the roots of her neck.

"No, this kind of thing... absolutely cannot be admitted."

She gently bit her cherry lips, her heart filled with a mixture of shyness and joy.

At the same time, she finally understood why Xu Yan was so devoted to Wang Daqi.

What surprised her even more was that she discovered that her long-stagnant mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level was showing signs of loosening and breaking through after the ordeal.

"Senior sister, you're awake???" Wang Daqi asked tentatively, his heart still pounding.

"Junior Brother Daqi, I... I accidentally fell into a trap and was poisoned, which is why I acted inappropriately."

Xia Chunlian suppressed her shyness, adopted a victim-like posture, and said softly, "It's good that you're not blaming me."

When Wang Daqi heard her say that, a huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.

He thought to himself: Luckily, my senior sister isn't the kind of woman in novels who's always ready to die or shout for violence; she's quite reasonable!

"It's also my fault. I was too careless and failed to protect my senior sister."

Wang Daqi descended the ladder, looking guilty. "But it's good that Senior Sister is alright."

"Alas, it was my own fault for being too careless. I must thank you, Junior Brother, for risking your life to save me."

As Xia Chunlian finished speaking, her voice became barely audible, and she turned her head away somewhat embarrassedly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, and with Xu Yan still guarding outside, Wang Daqi felt it was time to leave.

"Well... Senior Sister, you should rest well and refine the medicinal power. I'll head back now." With that, Wang Daqi made a move to get up, put on his clothes, and leave.

But as soon as he propped himself up, his wrist was tightly held by a small, warm, and jade-like hand.

Wang Daqi turned around and saw Xia Chunlian with her eyes lowered, her face flushed, and she said somewhat nervously in a low voice, "Um... I feel like the poison from earlier... hasn't been completely expelled yet, my body is still a little hot..."

"ah?!"

Wang Daqi was utterly shocked.

His powerful perception clearly told him that the poison in Xia Chunlian's body had long since disappeared without a trace.

But now, she's saying this.

Seeing Xia Chunlian's expression that seemed to say, "I'm poisoned, I'm not better yet, come help me!", Wang Daqi's heart was in turmoil!

Senior sister, this isn't just poisoning, it's addiction!

But he was too embarrassed to expose him, so he could only sit back down helplessly.

After all, it was my senior sister who took the initiative.

He also took the opportunity to replicate Senior Sister Xia Chunlian's Ten Thousand Poisons Holy Body!

Xu Yan, standing outside the door, was surprised.

This... is happening again?

…………

…………

As the sun rose, golden rays of dawn shone through the window, illuminating the mess inside the room.

Only then did this all-night battle truly come to an end.

Wang Daqi and Xia Chunlian got up one after the other.

Although the two hadn't slept all night, the spiritual energy feedback from their dual cultivation didn't make them feel tired; on the contrary, they seemed refreshed.

yard.

Xu Yan was washing her face in a basin of water.

She turned her head when she heard the door open.

Those beautiful big eyes were filled with the word "speechless".

She stayed there all night, listening all night long.

His eyes were slightly bruised, and his gaze toward the two men was extremely menacing.

Xia Chunlian was, after all, easily embarrassed.

Upon seeing Xu Yan's appearance, her previously aloof and ethereal image instantly crumbled.

He jogged over, grabbed Xu Yan's hand, and whispered apologetically, "Junior Sister Yan, I'm so sorry... Last night, the poison I was given was really too strong. I lost my mind and made you suffer."

Xu Yan was indeed feeling quite annoyed, thinking to herself, "You guys are having a good time inside, while I've been stuck here in the cold all night."

Seeing her usually aloof senior sister apologize to her so humbly, with a blush and unease still lingering on her face, Xu Yan's heart softened immediately.

"Senior sister, please don't say that." Xu Yan sighed and took Xia Chunlian's hand in return. "I know everything. You had no choice. Blame the poisoner for his despicable methods. Who would have thought that even a Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't withstand that kind of poison?"

Hearing that Xu Yan had actually taken the initiative to make amends for her, Xia Chunlian's sense of guilt intensified.

She bit her lower lip secretly, feeling uneasy.

Actually, that poison... was no longer effective by the second half of the night.

However, when she regained her senses and experienced the blissful feeling that Wang Daqi brought her, she inexplicably chose to go with the flow and even completely succumbed to it at that moment.

"I can't believe I'm this kind of person..."

Xia Chunlian secretly despised herself in her heart.

But then I thought, thankfully Junior Brother Wang doesn't seem to know, and just thinks she's still under the influence of the medicine.

Therefore, as long as others don't know, one is clean and pure.

Wang Daqi, standing to the side, wisely remained silent, observing the deep affection between the two beautiful women.

Afterwards, Wang Daqi took the two of them to see his grandmother, Liu.

When Liu saw the three of them walking side by side, especially when she saw Xia Chunlian's radiant appearance as if she had been nourished by rain and dew, she couldn't stop smiling.

This old man has lived most of his life, what hasn't he seen?

She thought her grandson had really made something of himself, that he was going to bring home a Foundation Establishment stage granddaughter-in-law.

"Good, good! Daqi, you haven't disappointed your grandma at all."

Liu held Xia Chunlian's hand and sat there for almost half an hour.

They were subtly inquiring about the couple's wedding date, and had even started planning the name of their great-grandson.

Xia Chunlian blushed deeply at what was said, but she couldn't refute it and could only awkwardly respond.

After Liu calmed down a bit, Wang Daqi spoke seriously: "Grandma, I have some important business to discuss. Once this matter is settled, I plan to leave this afternoon. My mission is extremely important and cannot be delayed. As for Senior Sister Xia, she also needs to set off to report to the Shen family."

The atmosphere in the room became more serious when Wang Daqi started talking about official business.

Liu didn't say anything more, and even took a lot of things from the mansion for Wang Daqi to eat on the way.

And so, at noon, the three of them left the Xu family.

"Senior sister, after this trip, we'll spread the word that Xu Taibing was ambushed by demonic cultivators and unfortunately perished."

Wang Daqi said in a deep voice, "In this way, there will be no way to prove anything, and Xu Taibing's secret can be kept forever, and no one will associate it with us."

Xia Chunlian also suppressed her shyness and nodded, saying, "It's common for demonic cultivators to cause trouble, so this excuse is the safest. Junior Brother Daqi has thought things through very well."

"Whoosh!!"

After discussing the matter, the three of them sped up.

By the time they were about to enter the Shen family's residence, Wang Daqi had already returned to his original appearance.

"Phew, this face is still more pleasing to the eye. Xu Taibing's face was really uncomfortable for me to act like that."

Wang Daqi stretched his shoulders and said half-jokingly.

Although the trip to the Xu family was full of twists and turns, the benefits were truly astonishing.

Wang Daqi took inventory.

In addition to the 1000 spirit stones he received, Xu Yan also received a reward of 20 spirit stones, as well as a first-grade mid-level jade bracelet magic artifact personally gifted by Liu.

As agreed before departure, these harvests were to be split equally with Xia Chunlian, the team leader.

Just as Wang Daqi was about to ask for a share of the profits, Xia Chunlian stopped and looked at him with a gentle smile in her eyes. She softly declined, saying, "Junior Brother Daqi, I don't need these spirit stones."

She paused, recalling the absurdity of the previous night and the subsequent progress in her cultivation, her pretty face slightly flushed as she added, "If you hadn't helped me neutralize the poison in my body this time, I'm afraid I would have been in serious trouble. So you can keep these spirit stones for yourself, or... give them all to Junior Sister Yanyan!"

"Give it to me? Give it all to me?!"

Xu Yan, who was standing to the side, was so shocked that she almost bit her tongue.

That's a whole 1000 spirit stones!!!

For a novice nun like her, who was only at the Qi Refining stage, this was an unimaginable astronomical figure.

This senior sister is incredibly generous!

"Senior Sister, this won't do!" Xu Yan snapped out of her daze and waved her hands repeatedly. "Without you in charge, we wouldn't even be able to get into the Xu family's house, let alone make so much money. Everyone put in the effort; how can I take all the credit?"

Wang Daqi was very pleased to see the two of them pushing and shoving each other.

"Alright, listen to me." Wang Daqi made the decision decisively, his tone leaving no room for argument. "Yanyan, keep those 20 spirit stones and the jade bracelet you have safe. After all, they're for your assessment and given to you by the Liu family. As for the 1000 spirit stones, we'll split them equally among ourselves!!!"

After saying that, Wang Daqi quickly took out a black bag that had been pre-packaged.

"1000 spirit stones, the three of us will each get 333. As for the extra one..." Wang Daqi pointed to a fragrant restaurant not far away, "We'll go have a big meal later, and that spirit stone will be for the meal!"

Seeing that Wang Daqi had divided the spoils so fairly and firmly, Xia Chunlian and Xu Yan exchanged a glance and stopped being coy.

Xia Chunlian took the bag containing 333 spirit stones. Her fingertips touched the heavy weight, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She looked at the man beside her and sighed inwardly.

Compared to the greedy, lustful, ruthless Xu Taibing, Wang Daqi was not only more powerful.

Moreover, he is generous and upright, and treats those around him with utmost kindness.

"Isn't this the kind of Daoist partner I've always longed for?"

Thinking about this...

Xia Chunlian's gaze toward Wang Daqi became increasingly infatuated.

She carefully put away the spirit stones, already planning in her mind to buy some fine robes and qi-replenishing pills in this market to give to her junior brother Daqi and Yanyan, thus fulfilling this sentiment.

"Let's go. After a whole day and night of running around, my stomach is really growling." Wang Daqi laughed loudly and led two stunningly beautiful women with completely different styles towards the restaurant amidst the envious and jealous gazes of passersby.

Just as we entered the restaurant, the neighing of a spirited horse echoed from the street.

"Strange, horses are strictly prohibited from entering this market town. Who dared to ride a horse into the city?"

Xia Chunlian frowned and looked out the second-floor window.

She was stunned when she saw it.

"Xu Sheng!! Xu Ying, what are those two doing here??"

Coincidentally, Xu Sheng looked up and observed his surroundings.

Upon seeing her, Xu Sheng immediately recognized her because he clearly remembered Xia Chunlian's scent!

"Hey, big sister, isn't this Taibing's woman? What a coincidence!" Xu Sheng murmured, then dismounted and walked upstairs with a smile.
