NOVEL WEB Chapter 168: Yun Xi: The House was Robbed! (Please Follow)
She didn't look like she was lying, and Xiao Ye felt a bit surprised.
*She gave up just like that?*
"Aren't you afraid that once I control the Secret Realm, I'll lock you up in the Heart of the Secret Realm?" he countered,
Mu Qingxue shot him a haughty glance, scoffing, "If you really want to be targeted by the City Lord's Mansion, then go ahead and lock me up!"
"..." Xiao Ye.
Time ticked by, moment after moment.
Not long ago, outside, at Villa No. 1 in the Lakeside Villas Area No. 1, Kunpeng Academy,
In the bathroom,
Yunxi was soaking in a transparent bath barrel.
From afar, through the clear barrel wall, one's vague yet alluring figure with curves in all the right places could be seen there.
The bathroom was filled with a thick aura of life, swirling all around Yunxi.
Her head resting against the edge of the bath barrel, Yun Xiliu's brows knitted slightly.
"After last time's smear incident, and letting Xiao Ye enter the Secret Realm, with these two things together, he probably isn't mad at me anymore, right?"
Back then, she'd made Xiao Ye keep away from Yun Bing, and her attitude had been way too harsh.
Before he entered the Secret Realm, Xiao Ye hadn't given a clear response either, so now she felt a bit uneasy.
*Young people are just too hard to figure out.*
So Yunxi pulled out her tablet, logged on to Tieba, and anonymously posted,
[How do you resolve it if a guy's angry?]
[How do I check if a guy's still mad?]
[My student is being moody]
She edited and sent out a string of similar posts.
Yunxi hadn't even noticed herself just how much she actually cared about this particular student—she was even more invested than she'd ever been about Yun Bing.
A lot of students in the academy liked to hang out on Tieba, so her posts got a bunch of replies right away.
[How do you resolve it if a guy's angry?]
"Sister, you've definitely come to the right place. I'm an expert on couple squabbles!" —User.
Yunxi's beautiful eyes brightened as she replied, "So, little bro, what do you suggest I do?"
User, "Just give him a shot! That trick will settle any minor couple quarrel!"
A shot?
A question mark appeared on Yunxi's lovely face. *A shot? What kind of shot?* She'd never looked into this stuff before and didn't get it.
Just then, another user commented.
User 2, "Bro above, you must be at the fresh contract stage. For us old married couples, even kissing my Contractor hubs would make me wanna gag for days, and we sleep in separate beds every night."
User 1 found that made sense and asked, "So what do you do then?"
User 2, "If your man suddenly gets mad at you all the time, that means he doesn't love you anymore. If he gets fierce, just beat him up, and when he gets scared, he won't be mad anymore."
User 1, "..."
User 2, "Am I right or what?"
User 1, "Right, right, you're totally right!"
Yunxi thought both solutions sounded doable, so she silently noted them down.
[How do I check if a guy's still mad?]
This thread also got a few replies.
User 1, "Just ask him directly."
User 2, "OP, you're in too deep. If he's mad, so be it, he'll get over it in a few days."
[My student is being moody]
User 1, "..."
Yunxi scrolled through all the posts, then closed Tieba feeling quite happy with herself.
She had already come up with several good strategies in her mind.
All of a sudden, with a plop—a shadow with truly impressive curves fell out of nowhere, landed in the bath barrel, and crashed straight into Yunxi's arms.
"Mmm! So soft, did I die and go to hell or something?"
"This smell, so fragrant! I could just eat it."
Nangong Siyao's little head was buried right in the land of ultimate terror, obliviously muttering.
Yunxi's body instantly stiffened. She hurriedly pushed Nangong Siyao away, frowning,
"Little Kunpeng pendant, auto-protect mode activate!"
"What happened to you guys in the Secret Realm?"
As she spoke, Yunxi's form flickered, and suddenly she was standing on the floor, bundled up in a big, puffy white robe.
At that, Nangong Siyao finally registered where she was and blurted out in shock, "Ancest—, Headmaster, hello!"
Then she quickly told a short version of what happened with the space channel.
While talking, Nangong Siyao's delicate nose twitched. The sweet scent in the air made her eyes light up.
This fragrance seemed to be wafting out from that barrel.
"Glug glug," she bent low and scooped up several big mouthfuls to drink.
Yunxi's pretty cheeks flushed red. She quickly picked her up and set her down away from the bath barrel, scolding, "Are you a glutton? You'll eat anything! That's my ba—ba—"
The words caught in her throat, and she just couldn't finish them.
Nangong Siyao's face was a mask of confusion as she protested, "Yeah, I'm a glutton, so what? Why can't I eat it? It's delicious!"
Yunxi changed her tune and scolded, "Honestly! That water was made from life essence and Supreme Realm Energy Liquid. You just drank a ton—are you trying to make yourself explode?"
With a smack, Yunxi slapped Nangong Siyao lightly on her barely-resentful tummy.
"Pffft!!"
Nangong Siyao spat out several mouthfuls of water by reflex.
That was all the water she'd just gulped down.
To take a warm soak in water blended from life essence and Supreme Realm Energy Liquid—only Yunxi and Yun Bing could be that extravagant. Nangong Siyao only knew that this water had an extremely strong pull on her, as if every cell in her body yearned for it.
Drinking a sip of it made her whole body feel blissful!
As she watched Nangong Siyao's eyes keep drifting toward the bath barrel, Yunxi had no choice but to pick her up and head to the living room, putting the barrel away.
"You just stay here. That brat from the City Lord's Mansion wants to take control of my Secret Realm? I say she's asking for trouble!"
Yunxi's expression turned cold. *I give those people free trial runs and let them milk the Secret Realm for perks, and now they wanna strip the wool right off me?*
*And not just that—they friggin' want to rob my whole house?*
*Outrageous, way too outrageous!*
Not that the Secret Realm was a big deal to her—it was just prime bathwater material at this point.
But this City Lord's Mansion attitude? They were acting like she, the top Venerable, didn't even exist! Yunxi was no pushover.
Having just been distracted by her gluttonous instincts, Nangong Siyao finally remembered about Xiao Ye and grew anxious, My Virtual Library Empire (M|V|LE1MPYR) thanks you for reading at the source.
"Headmaster, how's Xiao Ye now? Is he okay?"
"That space channel is super dangerous! You have to save him!"
Yunxi's mouth twitched. She rolled her eyes and said, "Let me check."
With a rip, Yunxi pulled her hands apart in front of her, and a pitch-black space rift appeared. She leapt straight in.
Nangong Siyao was right behind her, jumping with all her might toward the rift.
But in an instant, the rift vanished with a swoosh.
"Thud!" "Ow!"
Nangong Siyao landed hard, sprawled out on her back on the hard floor. She hadn't been the least bit prepared and her prize assets hurt like hell from the impact.
In the Secret Realm, inside the Heart of the Secret Realm,
It had now been nearly half an hour since Xiao Ye activated the circular instrument.
A strange array had now formed, surrounding the Chaos Group, the circular instrument, and Xiao Ye himself.
Mu Qingxue was expressionless, "Drip your blood essence into the Contract Array, and you can trigger the contract and make the Secret Realm Core recognize its master."
Xiao Ye didn't question it. He immediately condensed a drop of blood essence.
But at that moment—boom!—a powerful pressure descended upon the Heart of the Secret Realm, and at the same instant an icy, bone-chilling voice echoed forth,
"The Secret Realm Core's master? Did you bother to ask me, the Venerable Kunpeng Yunxi?"
