Inside the room!

Qiuyu watched as the originally clear water in the bathtub turned green instantly after Ye Xiao dropped a small droplet of green liquid into it. Moreover, it was a deep shade of green.

There's a term called "green mountains and clear waters," but the green water before her was completely devoid of any other color is similar to a tub of water that had been dyed and it was impossible to see the bottom.

Ye Xiao put away the crystal bottle and then turned to look at Qiuyu, asking, "Why are you still dressed?"

"You... you go out first!" Qiuyu said, feeling somewhat embarrassed!

Although Ye Xiao was shameless, Qiuyu was still a girl after all, and feeling shy was inevitable!

Ye Xiao didn't want to leave. He finally had the opportunity to get close to Qiuyu, and even though he couldn't do anything else, just looking was enough for him. So when Qiuyu asked him to leave, he definitely wouldn't!

"How can that be? I just successfully developed this Source Life Liquid, and, since every person's body is different, I don't want you to feel any discomfort after entering this Source Life Liquid. Moreover, if you feel uncomfortable, I can rescue you immediately. If I go out, then...," Ye Xiao would obviously not say that he wanted to see Qiuyu unclothed, so he instead spoke with seeming righteousness.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Qiuyu felt that it seemed reasonable, and hurriedly said, "Well, okay, but turn around first!"

"My senior sister, it's not like I haven't seen your body before!" Ye Xiao immediately said disdainfully.

"When did you see?" Qiuyu, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, looked at him bewildered. She didn't remember Ye Xiao having seen her body since she came of age.

"I..." Ye Xiao, being questioned by Qiuyu like this, didn't know what to say at once. Should he say that back in Qiu Mountain, he took advantage of his senior sister taking a bath to peek?

"Speak up!" Qiuyu looked at Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said, "When I was very young, a little kid."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Qiuyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "When we were young, that was then. Now we're older, you turn around!"

"Alright, alright, I'll turn around, can't be too shy!" Ye Xiao said nonchalantly as he turned around!

Qiuyu laughed softly upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, then quickly stripped off her clothes. However, after undressing, she suddenly realized an awkward fact: Ye Xiao was standing right where the clothes should be placed. So, there was a dilemma about what to do with the clothes—should she place them on the rack, Ye Xiao's face would be right in front of it, and if not on the rack, was she supposed to hold them while bathing?

With his back turned, Ye Xiao stood for a while and, noticing no sound of Qiuyu getting into the water, he became very puzzled and asked, "Miss Shen, what's the matter? Why aren't you getting in?"

"Stretch out your hand!" Qiuyu suddenly said to Ye Xiao!

Hearing this, Ye Xiao was a bit puzzled, but still reached out his hand. As he stretched his hand backwards, he felt something land in his hand, seemingly made of silk. Therefore, Ye Xiao directly grabbed it and when he looked at these items, he burst into laughter!

Outerwear and underwear were all there.

Following that, the sound of Qiuyu getting into the water was heard!

Ye Xiao immediately turned around, holding the clothes, while only Qiuyu's small head was visible in the bathtub.

"So you're giving me these clothes because you want me to relish their scent?" Ye Xiao teased Qiuyu!

"There's nowhere here to put clothes except where you are!" Qiuyu said!

Ye Xiao said, "I see, I was thinking you understood my intentions and first gave me the clothes to let me sniff your body scent!"

"Cut it out, that's the last thing you'd get. Wow, this water with Source Life Liquid is much more comfortable than regular water—I feel like taking a nap," Qiuyu said!

Ye Xiao said, "Then sleep, have a good sleep, and by the time you wake up, all the potion will have been absorbed!"

"Really? But with you standing here, I certainly won't be able to fall asleep, at most I'll rest my eyes!" Qiuyu said!

Ye Xiao said, "Sometimes it's not up to you!"

Qiuyu didn't understand what Ye Xiao meant by that, but she closed her eyes anyway!

However, as soon as she closed her eyes, she quickly fell asleep!

Although Ye Xiao had never used the Source Life Liquid before, he had seen Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan taking baths with it and so he understood that one of its auxiliary effects was to relieve fatigue!

Ye Xiao put Qiuyu's clothes on the rack and then stepped out of the bathroom, grabbed a chair, and came back in!

Although practicing standing there could also be effective, after all, the legs require effort and it's easy to get distracted.

Having placed the chair beside Qiuyu, Ye Xiao then sat down!

After Ye Xiao sat down, he immediately closed his eyes and entered the cultivation state!

Actually, Ye Xiao wanted something that could assist his cultivation, like Source Life Liquid, but this Source Life Liquid was only helpful for Yellow Rank Martial Artists. For someone like him at the Late-stage Xuan Rank, it was of no use.

So if he wanted to use any assisting pills or liquids, they had to be of top quality, and they had to be very beneficial for his cultivation. Otherwise, Ye Xiao would definitely not use them, as it would be counterproductive if it hindered the enhancement of his Nine Yang Divine Skill!

The Nine Yang True Qi circulated rapidly within Ye Xiao's body, gaining purity and increasing its volume with each complete circulation.

Time always flew by when cultivating, but this time, instead of two hours, Ye Xiao opened his eyes after just an hour and a half.

The reason was that he had felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. Not wanting the ringing to disturb Shen Qiuyu's cultivation, Ye Xiao first hung up the call, then glanced at the safe Shen Qiuyu before stepping out of the bathroom!

Upon exiting the bathroom, Ye Xiao checked his phone and found that the caller had been Wang Luoxin!

Seeing Wang Luoxin's name, Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile slightly. Was this girl missing him? Had he perhaps been too impressive yesterday, making Wang Luoxin unable to forget him?

Thus, Ye Xiao immediately made a call back to Wang Luoxin.

The call connected quickly.

"Why did you hang up my call?" Wang Luoxin asked immediately after the connection.

Of course, Ye Xiao couldn't say it was because he was in the bathroom watching a beautiful woman take a bath and didn't want to disturb her.

"Hanging up your call was the right choice, why should I let you spend money on the call? That's not right, I should be the one paying!" Ye Xiao said earnestly.

Wang Luoxin, initially stunned by his words, was somewhat taken aback by this excuse.

"Actually, it doesn't matter, how much could a call possibly cost?" Wang Luoxin responded.

Ye Xiao, still unblushing and calm: "That's where you're wrong. Can't you see I'm a man of traditional values? Why shouldn't I be the one to take the loss?"

Wang Luoxin laughed and said, "You're just being cheeky."

"Am I?" Ye Xiao replied, "I'm completely sincere."

"No one believes that."

Ye Xiao said, "I don't know about ghosts, but I know you believe me. Xin Xin, are you missing this superbly strong and good man?"

"Gross, who's missing you? I definitely am not!" Wang Luoxin quickly denied upon hearing Ye Xiao's words.

If Wang Luoxin had said, "Yes, I miss you!"

Ye Xiao might even suspect that this girl was fickle, but now that Wang Luoxin said she didn't miss him, it meant she was just being shy.

"Actually, I'm the one who misses you!" Ye Xiao suddenly declared.

Wang Luoxin responded, "You... do you miss me? With so many beauties around you, do you even have time to think about me?"

Ye Xiao immediately responded, "Of course I miss you. Just like I love roses, peonies, and other flowers. Just because I admire peonies, does it mean I don't want to admire roses?"

"Hmph, always so slick with words," Luoxin snorted. Despite this, she was very pleased inside, especially since Ye Xiao had compared her to a rose, a symbol of love.

Ye Xiao said, "You called me, must be something up, right?"

Wang Luoxin, reminded by Ye Xiao's words, suddenly remembered the purpose of her call, having been sidetracked by their banter.

"Seven-colored Lamp got a job today!" Wang Luoxin announced.

Being an assassin organization, it was normal for Seven-colored Lamp to get job opportunities, given their formidable capabilities.

Ye Xiao asked, "Who's the target?"

"Ling Hengyu!"

"What?" Ye Xiao responded with surprise. "Who gave you the job?"

"Seven-colored Lamp's jobs usually don't reveal the client's identity, but we roughly know it was a male with the last name 'Wu.' I know Ling Hengyu is Ling Shuya's father, so I wanted to discuss it with you," Wang Luoxin explained.

"Is it to kill Ling Hengyu or..."

"Capture alive!"
