"With Ye Chen joining, the revival of the Tang Sect can indeed be accelerated, but we can recruit slowly in the future, it doesn't have to be on this day…" Bei Bei whispered, clearly a little disappointed.
He thought a genius was not as important as his and Tang Ya's anniversary.
The revival of the Tang Sect could proceed gradually.
But love is priceless!
No matter how much of a genius Ye Chen was, he could be recruited slowly in the future, so why did it have to be on this day?
Three years ago today, he met Tang Ya outside Heaven Dou City.
Fate brought the two together.
This day, in his heart, was even more important than his birthday…
However, no matter what, today wasn't over yet, and there was still time to have dinner with Tang Ya.
Bei Bei was about to speak, but Tang Ya directly interrupted him.
"Alright, I'm tired. If there's nothing else, I'm going back to sleep. Don't bother me anymore."
Tang Ya waved her hand and quickly left.
"Xiao Ya, I…"
Bei Bei opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Tang Ya had already used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and disappeared into the night.
"Damn it!! This hateful Ye Chen!!"
Bei Bei clenched his fists tightly, an inexplicable hostility towards Ye Chen rising in his eyes!
If it weren't for that guy, he should have had dinner with Tang Ya today, been affectionate with Tang Ya, and perhaps even taken their relationship a step further!
But… all of this was ruined by that dog, Ye Chen!
Under normal circumstances, if such a genius joined the Tang Sect, he would definitely be happy for Tang Ya.
But now, he was somewhat jealous and resentful…
Especially Ye Chen's talent, and the slight admiration in Tang Ya's eyes when she spoke of Ye Chen, made him very displeased!
Although Tang Ya only admired Ye Chen.
But he was a man, and Tang Ya was his girlfriend.
Naturally, he would feel discontent when Tang Ya admired another man so much.
"No, I must keep an eye on Xiao Ya during this time; I can't let her interact with that Ye Chen anymore!"
Bei Bei secretly made up his mind, planning to keep a close watch on Tang Ya during this period.
He had a premonition that if Tang Ya continued to interact with Ye Chen like this, something very bad might happen…
…
…
…
After Ye Chen parted ways with Tang Ya, he went to the Inner Courtyard.
He wouldn't look for Wang Dong to cultivate today.
He also needed to consider Ma Xiaotao's feelings.
After all, previously, when Ma Xiaotao stopped cultivating, the growth rate of her Evil Fire was not fast, and Xu Sanshi could even suppress it.
But now, Ma Xiaotao was cultivating frantically, accumulating a huge amount of Evil Fire every day, requiring a cleansing every two or three days.
Ye Chen had to go back and check, lest Ma Xiaotao get angry.
…
He entered the Inner Courtyard with ease, returning to Ma Xiaotao's courtyard.
Ye Chen thought Ma Xiaotao would have been asleep by now, but he found the lights in the living room were still on.
"Sister Xiao Tao?"
Ye Chen pushed the door open and called out softly.
Indeed, Ma Xiaotao was still awake.
At this moment, Ma Xiaotao was sitting in the living room, propping up her chin and staring blankly.
Next to her was a glass of red wine and several empty wine bottles, indicating she had drunk quite a bit.
"Hmm? You're back?"
Ma Xiaotao noticed the movement at the door, slightly raised her eyebrows, her tone carrying a hint of surprise, but more of a languidness.
Coupled with the two flushes on her cheeks, she was clearly a bit tipsy.
"Sister Xiao Tao, you're drunk. Drinking at night is not good for your health."
Ye Chen walked over and sat beside Ma Xiaotao, but kept a distance.
Of course, what Ye Chen meant by "not good for your health" was that drinking would affect sleep, which might affect Ma Xiaotao's spirit tomorrow.
Although Spirit Masters have strong physiques, their spiritual aspect is still weak; not sleeping well would also make them feel tired the next day.
"Hmm, come closer. I won't eat you, will I?"
Ma Xiaotao saw that Ye Chen was not sensible at all, sitting so far away, and glared at him with some dissatisfaction.
But because of the alcohol, her gaze carried an inexplicable charm and cuteness.
"Oh, oh…"
Ye Chen appeared very obedient and sat down next to Ma Xiaotao.
"Hmm, junior brother is well-behaved like this~"
Without a word, Ma Xiaotao hugged Ye Chen's head and pressed it into her embrace.
Feeling the cold air emanating from Ye Chen's body, Ma Xiaotao immediately revealed a satisfied smile.
The power of Ye Chen's Spirit was such that simply by being close to Ye Chen, the Evil Fire in her body could flow into Ye Chen's body through their points of contact, and then be neutralized by his ice-attribute aura.
"Hmm, comfortable~"
Ma Xiaotao's lips curved upwards; the Evil Fire in her body slowly dissipated, and coupled with Ye Chen's soft scent, it instantly made her feel incredibly comfortable.
Under the relaxation of her spirit, the already sleepy Ma Xiaotao began to feel drowsy.
"Sister Xiao Tao…"
Ye Chen's muffled voice came from Ma Xiaotao's chest.
Ma Xiaotao was clearly preparing to sleep, so she was only wearing a thin nightgown, and it was empty inside…
Although it smelled good, it was also a bit stuffy.
Ye Chen saw Ma Xiaotao loosen her grip a little, and only then did he lift his head.
Because of the movement, Ma Xiaotao leaned entirely on Ye Chen, almost falling over.
"Sister Xiao Tao, why are you just falling asleep like that…?"
He quickly hugged Ma Xiaotao.
As their bodies touched, the sensation naturally became even more pronounced.
"Hmm, take me back to my room…" Ma Xiaotao mumbled softly, her eyelids too heavy to open.
"Alright, alright, seriously, why did you drink so much…?"
Ye Chen sighed helplessly, reached out to support Ma Xiaotao's buttocks, and walked towards the room.
Because of Ma Xiaotao's… that, Ye Chen's palm directly touched Ma Xiaotao's skin.
Ye Chen could see Ma Xiaotao's earlobes turning red at a visible speed, even steaming a little.
Ye Chen pretended not to notice, quickly carried Ma Xiaotao into the room, and gently placed her on her soft, large bed.
"Sister Xiao Tao, it's time to rest."
Ye Chen gently patted Ma Xiaotao, wanting her to release her hand from his neck.
"Hmm hmm… rest…~"
Ma Xiaotao mumbled discontentedly, then with a slight pull, she directly pulled Ye Chen over.
"Sister Xiao Tao, I…"
Before Ye Chen could speak, the quilt was already covering them.
Ye Chen: …
…
…
…
…
The next morning.
Ye Chen woke up groggily, a familiar scent reaching his nostrils.
He had slept so comfortably last night that he had forgotten the time.
Ye Chen sat up and found himself still on Ma Xiaotao's bed.
Ma Xiaotao was still kind enough not to throw him out…
Ma Xiaotao's room was very clean and tidy; it must have been tidied up.
Ye Chen lifted the quilt, and his hand touched something smooth.
He looked down and saw it was the satin nightgown Ma Xiaotao wore last night.
"Seriously, she doesn't even know how to put away her clothes…"
Ye Chen picked up the nightgown and played with it in his hands. It was cool and smooth, feeling incredibly good to the touch.
"It must be very cool to wear," Ye Chen thought to himself.
"Click~"
Just then, the door suddenly opened, and Ma Xiaotao's head peeked in: "Xiao Chen, wake up, big sister made you your favourite…"
Ma Xiaotao's words abruptly stopped.
