The short distance of a dozen steps felt like an insurmountable chasm. After only a few steps, Ye Ming's back, legs, and even arms ached.

Ke Qing noticed Ye Ming's reluctance, hesitated for a moment, and then thoughtfully suggested, "Would you like me to carry you?"

Okay, okay, I love being hugged by pretty girls.

Ye Ming really wanted to say that, after all, he had never experienced what it felt like to be held by a beautiful girl. However, because of what had just happened, Ye Ming felt that he should prove himself and give Ke Qing some confidence in their future married life.

"Need not."

Ye Ming remained calm and said, "I'm in good health, I'll be fine."

Despite saying that, as soon as he entered the bathroom, Ye Ming quickly put Ke Qing down and lay down on the scrubbing bed, not wanting to move at all.

"Phew~ Keqing, could you help me wash up first?"

Ye Ming gave Ke Qing instructions with a natural expression.

Huh? Weren't you supposed to be scrubbing my back?

Ke Qing was stunned.

When Ke Qing saw Ye Ming lying there lazily, she was taken aback. But when she recalled some information she had specifically looked up before, she vaguely understood something, and a blush appeared on her pretty face.

She turned on the water to wet Ye Ming's body, poured some shower gel on herself, and then slowly leaned down to press her back against Ye Ming's.

Feeling the soft touch on his back, Ye Ming was startled, turned around in surprise, and sighed helplessly.

"Lafite is still waiting for me to come home. I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to take a normal shower."

Ye Ming, whose back was still slightly sore, had clear eyes, without a trace of worldly desire.

After thinking it over, Ye Ming, still unwilling to give up, cautiously added, "We can leave this for next time."

Realizing she had misunderstood, Ke Qing froze instantly. Her face, which had only been slightly flushed, turned bright red in an instant, and she was completely at a loss for what to do.

Seeing this, Ye Ming had no choice but to get up and do it himself.

Not only did she wash herself, but she also helped Keqing wash.

"Will Keqing want me to live with her from now on?"

While getting dressed, Ye Ming asked.

"Living together!?"

Ke Qing's eyes widened in surprise. She even forgot to put on the pantyhose she was halfway through, and asked incredulously, "Really? Is it really possible?"

Happiness came one after another so suddenly that Ke Qing felt a sense of unreality, as if she were in a dream. She never expected Ye Ming to invite her to live together so directly. According to her original plan, even if they had a relationship, living together would probably be a thing of the future.

"You're my wife, so there's nothing strange about us living together, right?"

Ye Ming didn't understand why Ke Qing was surprised. He thought for a moment and then added, "However, the place I live in now is very small, only two bedrooms and one living room. The master bedroom is already occupied. If you want to come over, you can only sleep in the second bedroom with me. Of course, if you don't want to, then that's fine."

"Yes! I do!"

Ke Qing readily agreed.

How could she possibly refuse?

Not only do they live together, but they share a room and sleep in the same bed, a dream come true. Isn't this the standard treatment that only married couples get?

At this moment, Ke Qing was sincerely grateful for Ye Ming's house and the people living with him. The two-bedroom house and the roommate who occupied one of the bedrooms were really great.

"I'll move in tonight."

Keqing couldn't wait any longer.

She had originally planned to find an opportunity to persuade Ye Ming to move to the villa. If Ye Ming was unwilling, she planned to pay for him to choose a suitable villa. But now, she silently gave up her original plan.

Small houses are still the most cozy to live in!

As for the villa, well, we'll let Gan Yu and the others have it once they arrive.

Keqing is a kind, generous, and friendship-loving girl.

A luxuriously decorated, spacious, bright, and well-equipped villa should definitely be given to your best friend!

Thinking about this, Ke Qing was moved by her own kindness.

Ye Ming was unaware of Ke Qing's thoughts. When he heard that Ke Qing wanted to help out tonight, Ye Ming thought for a moment and suggested, "Let's do it tomorrow. It's too late today. It would be easier to move things tomorrow."

"Huh? Oh."

Although she wished she could go back with Ye Ming right now, since Ye Ming had said so, Ke Qing couldn't press him too hard and could only nod in agreement.

Seeing that Ke Qing agreed, Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up at the time; it was already 11 p.m.

"Well then, I'll be going now?"

"I send you."

Ye Ming did not refuse, and the two went out together. While waiting for the elevator, Ye Ming pressed his aching lower back and suddenly thought of something. He hesitated for a moment and then asked Ke Qing a little shyly.

"Keqing, do you have any treasures or cultivation techniques that ordinary people can use? Preferably those that enhance the body. Of course, whether they enhance the body or not doesn't really matter. I mainly want to experience extraordinary power."

Chapter Forty-Six: The Bank Card from the Carving Master

"I don't care about strengthening my body; I mainly want to experience extraordinary power."

Upon hearing this, Ke Qing immediately understood.

Extraordinary strength is secondary; the main thing is to strengthen the body.

Keqing thought for a moment and then carefully said, "If we were still in Liyue, and you wanted to strengthen your body, no, if you wanted to master extraordinary power, the Eye of God would be a good choice."

The Eye of God is a mysterious crystal bestowed by the gods. It is the only way for most ordinary people on the continent of Teyvat to cast spells, and can be considered a shortcut.

However, Keqing initially held a negative view of the Eye of God.

Because Keqing knew that all her achievements were due to her own efforts, but in the eyes of others, they were attributed to the Eye of God.

Keqing once believed that the Eye of God had stolen her pride, and that it was a provocation and insult from God.

In an attempt to destroy the Eye of God, she tried countless methods, such as burning it with fire for three days and three nights, running it over with a minecart filled with stones, or throwing it directly out of the Jade Pavilion, but all of them ended in failure.

Keqing had no other choice, and at the same time, she didn't want the Eye of God to fall into the hands of bad people, so she reluctantly accepted the Eye of God in the end.

Later, as time went by, Keqing's view of the Eye of God also changed—more important than the source of power was the driver of that power.

Today, Keqing has come to regard the Eye of God as part of her own power. Therefore, when Ye Ming asked about it, the first thing Keqing thought of was the Eye of God.

"In Teyvat, while Visions are incredibly precious, it's not impossible for us in Liyue to find one for you, and we can always find a way to solve compatibility issues. But in this world, that's much less likely."

"Actually, I have an Eye of God on me. If possible, I would give it to you without any problem. However, the Eye of God is bound to its holder and cannot be changed. Therefore, I cannot think of a way to let you immediately master extraordinary power."

Noticing the disappointment on Ye Ming's face, Ke Qing changed her tone and said, "However, if you just want to exercise, it's quite simple. Generally speaking, kung fu has the effect of strengthening the body. For example, swordsmanship can not only exercise the body, but also temper the spirit. The effect is very good."

At this point, Ke Qing paused, then added with a smile, "To be honest, I'm quite confident in my swordsmanship. If you don't mind, I can practice swordsmanship with you in the future."

"Practicing swordsmanship?"

Master Ke's swordsmanship is quite famous. Upon hearing this, Ye Ming suddenly remembered a GIF he had seen online some time ago, in which Ke Qing's black stockings were half-undone and she was holding a sword. He couldn't help but glance at Ke Qing's thigh. How alluring would the real Ke Qing be if she did that?

"Okay, thank you for your help, Master Carver."

For the sake of his health, Ye Ming did not hesitate and nodded in agreement.

"Don't call me Master Carver!"

Keqing has played Genshin Impact, so of course she knows what Master Keqing means.

Despite this, Keqing was still very happy. Practicing swordsmanship together meant that they would have much more time to spend together, right? With more time together, wouldn't it be easy for their relationship to blossom?

As they were talking, the elevator arrived.

The two entered the elevator together. Ke Qing, who had just recovered from her excitement, suddenly exclaimed as if she had remembered something: "Oh dear, I forgot to call a car for you. Wait, I'll ask Ke Ke to drive you right away."

"Um, no need, I'll just take a taxi back. It's already 11 p.m., so let's not bother others."

Ye Ming refused, after all, they were all poor working people, and there was no need to wake them out of bed in the middle of the night.

"Then, I'll call a car for you."

Ke Qing took out her phone.

"No need, I already called for it while we were waiting for the elevator."

Ye Ming waved his phone.

"Oh."

Ke Qing reluctantly put away her phone, looked at Ye Ming with a flickering gaze and a conflicted expression, seemingly lost in thought.

Ye Ming didn't notice Ke Qing's gaze, because after taking out his phone, he realized that his phone's battery was only at three percent.

Actually, Ye Ming's phone wasn't fully charged when he left home during the day. He had planned to charge it when he went to work, but he spent the whole day dealing with Ke Qing, so he naturally didn't have time to charge it.

Will this little bit of electricity last me until I get home?

You should know that since the door was replaced with an electronic lock, Ye Ming usually uses his mobile phone to open the door and hasn't carried a key for a long time.

Although Fu Hua and Raffi were at home, Ye Ming didn't want to wake them up since it was so late.

Ye Ming switched his phone to power-saving mode and nervously put it in his pocket. He didn't ask Ke Qing for a power bank, because he had already asked her when they left the house, and she didn't have one.

"Ye Ming, this is for you."

After exiting the elevator and waiting for the car at the door, Ke Qing, whose eyes had been flickering as if she was struggling with something, finally mustered up her courage, took something out of her bag, and handed it to Ye Ming.

"Ok?"

Ye Ming looked closely and saw what Ke Qing was holding, and couldn't help but frown.

"Keqing, what's wrong with you...?"

Looking at what Ke Qing handed him, Ye Ming didn't know what to say for a moment.

What Ke Qing handed him was a bank card!

What does this mean? Does it mean you want to keep me as a sugar daddy?

Is this the legendary story of a rich, beautiful woman keeping a gigolo?

While you, Ke Qing, are undoubtedly a classic beauty and rich girl, I, Ye Ming, aside from being handsome, don't resemble any gigolo at all.

That's going too far, Master Ke.
