Chapter 326: Feeling Awkward and Flushing
“Well, let’s go back, too.”
Lin Shiru said to Ye Xuan when Wang Tianshan and Fang Shenzhou had left. She flew into the air toward her villa right away.
Ye Xuan hurried to follow her.
“Why are you following me?”
Seeing Ye Xuan following her, Lin Shiru said to him helplessly.
“Didn’t you just say let’s go back?”
Ye Xuan was puzzled.
“Yeah. I will go back to my home, and you will go back to your home.”
Lin Shiru stared at him. “You just came back from the Ancient God Plains. Don’t you think you should go back to your own house?”
“Why should I go back?”
Ye Xuan murmured, “I saw my parents talking to others in their snack shop as soon as I came back. They seemed to be having a good time. They’ll be disturbed if I go back.”
“I was exhausted on the trip to the Ancient God Plains. Let me take a rest at your place, please.”
Lin Shiru was rendered helpless.
She could not say no to Ye Xuan, so she said with patience, “No matter what, at least you should go and let your parents know you came back. Besides, if you want to go to my place, go back to your place and take a shower first.”
“Okay. So, I’ll have a shower and then go to your place.”
Not until then did Ye Xuan realize one thing.
It dawned on him why Lin Shiru had been urging him to go back.
It was because of women’s attention to hygiene. She wanted to take a shower first. If he were there, she would be embarrassed.
An idea occurred to him when he had realized that.
He added, “So, I won’t knock later when I go to your place. I will have myself transmitted into your villa. Is that okay?”
“Suit yourself.”
Lin Shiru would agree to whatever Ye Xuan said to get rid of him as soon as possible.
However, not until then did a doubt occur to her.
How would Ye Xuan be transmitted into her villa directly?
The Sacred Divine Wood was huge. How would it enter her house?
“Great.”
Seeing Lin Shiru agree, Ye Xuan beamed.
Then he stopped bothering Lin Shiru.
He parted with her and shifted his consciousness to fly into the distance at high speed.
Seeing Ye Xuan leaving, Lin Shiru also flew back to her house.
...
Ye Xuan took Lin Shiru’s advice after he had parted with her. He went to the snack shop to say hi to Su Yunmeng and Ye Guotao.
However, as he expected, the two were too busy talking to others to pay attention to him.
They let him go back alone after asking him some simple questions.
“Ye Xuan.”
However, when Ye Xuan was about to go back to his house to shower after leaving the snack shop, Qi Liangcai and others happened to come over from far away.
Qi Liangcai greeted Ye Xuan as soon as he saw the latter.
And this time, besides Wei Shan and Lv Jing.
Even Li Yanting and Yang Yuxin were with him.
“Where are you going?”
Ye Xuan was very surprised to see the two with Qi Liangcai, Wei Shan, and Lv Jing.
Qi Liangcai fastened a nickname upon the two at the beginning of the semester, so they did not like him very much.
“We are going to eat at your snack shop.”
Qi Liangcai grinned. “The Gold-level Ancient Sea Dragon Snake you hunted last time has almost been sold out on the campus. Luckily, we are your friends. We’ve been eating at your snack shop these days.”
“We still have some of the Sea Dragon Snake left?”
Ye Xuan was surprised.
It had been a long time.
He had thought they had been out of Sea Dragon Snake meat.
“Ye Xuan, you just came back, didn’t you?”
Looking at Ye Xuan, Yang Yuxin said to him, “Your mum told us you had gone to take trials when we were at your snack shop. And she didn’t know when you would come back, either.”
“Yep.”
Ye Xuan nodded. “I just came back from the Ancient God Plains.”
“Shall we have dinner together? You’ve never hung out with us, although we are classmates.”
Yang Yuxin invited Ye Xuan.
Li Yanting looked. She was also expecting Ye Xuan to agree.
“Well...”
Ye Xuan said with hesitation, “Maybe next time. I just came back. I came here only to say hi to my parents. The trip to the Ancient God Plains really exhausted me. I need to take a shower first.”
“It’s all right.”
Yang Yuxin and Li Yanting were a little disappointed, but they did not insist.
Qi Liangcai threw Ye Xuan a look. Even he knew Yang Yuxin and Li Yanting both had a crush on Ye Xuan.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan was too dumb.
How could he find a girlfriend being so dumb?
Then Qi Liangcai suddenly said to Ye Xuan, “You’ve always been so busy. The last time you came back, you achieved the Gold level. What about this time? Don’t tell me you will achieve the Platinum level soon.”
“What if I tell you I already achieved the Platinum level and am about to achieve the Diamond level?”
Ye Xuan broke into a smile right away.
“No way!”
Qi Liangcai thumped Ye Xuan.
Then he went to Su Yunmeng and Ye Guotao’s snack shop with the others.
Seeing them leaving, Ye Xuan shook his head.
The strength gap between them was increasingly bigger.
Qi Liangcai had just achieved the Silver level.
The others were still on the Bronze level.
Whoosh!
Then he flew into the air toward his house.
First thing first.
He needed to take a shower.
Then he would go to see Lin Shiru.
The water sprayed.
As the water flew down with loud noises, Ye Xuan took a quick shower.
Then he flew into his yard after arranging himself a little bit.
Baa!
Baa!
In the distance, the two Wind-Speed Lamb Headed Camels took a few steps back when they had seen him.
However, Ye Xuan only threw a glance at them. Then he shifted his consciousness to call the Tree of World out.
Whoosh!
The Tree of World showed up. Directed by Ye Xuan, it stroked its branch across the air, and a Space Tunnel showed up out of thin air.
This Space Tunnel was extraordinary.
It was as tall as a human adult.
And it was possible to see the other end from this end.
Apparently, the two ends were not far away from each other.
Standing at the tunnel entrance, Ye Xuan looked into it and saw the living room that he was very familiar with right away.
It was Lin Shiru’s living room.
Ye Xuan grinned at the sight of Lin Shiru’s living room. Then he walked into the Space Tunnel toward the other end right away.
That was what was special about the Tree of World.
The Force of the World could augment space Tunnels created by it.
If the travel distance was short, Ye Xuan could walk through it without having to do space transmission with the Tree of World.
Whoosh!
Ye Xuan showed up in Lin Shiru’s living room in a flash.
Then he communicated with the Tree of World in the distance.
And he shifted his consciousness to take it back into its Beast Lair.
“Ye Xuan!”
Lin Shiru’s voice, accompanied by the sprays of water, came from upstairs as Ye Xuan arrived.
“What?”
Ye Xuan asked with a smile, “How come you are still in the shower? It has really taken you a long time.”
Upstairs, Lin Shiru was annoyed. “Nothing. Stay downstairs. Don’t come up.”
Heh-hey.
Ye Xuan chuckled to himself.
But he was not going upstairs anyway.
For them, keeping some distance between them was the best. There was a spark, but they never crossed the line.
Otherwise, if he scared her off and she stopped responding to him, he would be doomed.
Ye Xuan started to pace back and forth in the living room.
He was considering how to give the Beast Taming Elixir to Lin Shiru. He was somewhat bothered.
He still had three Beast Taming Elixirs.
One was three-fold, one was six-fold, and the last one was nine-fold.
Putting the three-fold one aside.
No one could use the six-fold one yet.
As to the nine-fold one, anyone but him could use it.
However, although the Nine-Fold Beast Taming Elixir was very valuable, he could not sell it.
He would lose a lot if he sold it.
The whole Xia, even the whole galaxy.
Neither of them was as valuable as this Nine-Fold Beast Taming Elixir.
Whom could he sell to?
Therefore, he had better give it away to someone.
Speaking of giving it away, was there a better option than giving it to the mother of his future son?
Pitapat.
Thoughts thronged into his mind. At this moment, the noises of water stopped, and soon, Lin Shiru walked downstairs slowly. She was wearing a thin white bathrobe and white slippers. Her hair was hanging loose to her shoulders.
Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw Lin Shiru dressed like that.
That was exactly what he wanted to see. That was the reason he had been in such a hurry.
He wanted to see Lin Shiru come out of the shower.
Yes.
He just wanted to see her.
Absolutely with no other intentions.
At this moment, Lin Shiru came downstairs in such a bathrobe, plus her pretty face and wet hair; she was just stunning.
However, what about under the bathrobe...
Ye Xuan did not dare think further.
That thought was too nasty.
“How did you transmit yourself in here?”
Lin Shiru asked Ye Xuan while going downstairs.
She had been a little angry.
Because Ye Xuan came while she was still in the shower, she was really embarrassed.
But she did not know how to put it when she had seen Ye Xuan, so she just brought up something else.
Ye Xuan glanced at Lin Shiru. Her cheeks were rosy because of the shower.
Certainly, maybe it was just because she was embarrassed.
Seeing her like that, Ye Xuan said with a smile, “The Evolution Path of my Sacred Divine Wood is different from that of yours. It can open a small Space Tunnel for me. That’s how it transmitted me here.”
Yeah?
Lin Shiru was surprised.
She had had no idea that Ye Xuan’s Sacred Divine Wood was different from hers.
But then she realized something.
As she went downstairs, Ye Xuan never took his eyes off her.
She felt awkward.
She regretted she had not changed before going down.
“Ye Xuan, do you want to eat something?”
She changed the subject again.
That was the only subject that came into her head.
“Yeah, but not now.”
Gazing at Lin Shiru, Ye Xuan felt she seemed to be avoiding his gaze.
He hurried to look away. Then, grinning, he said, “We just came back from the Ancient God Plains. I wouldn’t ask Linlin to cook for me now.”
Lin Shiru gave Ye Xuan a stare.
She wondered since when she had become Ye Xuan’s Linlin.
She had told him a few times not to call her that, but Ye Xuan did not stop. So, she was too helpless to tell him the same thing again.
An idea suddenly occurred to Ye Xuan.
He said, “Speaking of delicious food, actually, I brought something delicious back from the Ancient God Plains.”
“What did you bring back?”
“You want to know?”
Ye Xuan came up to Lin Shiru. Looking into her eyes, he said, “Close your eyes if you want to know.”
“Just spit it out!”
Lin Shiru stared at him.
However, Ye Xuan did not do what she had told him this time.
Instead, he grabbed the waist belt of Lin Shiru’s white bathrobe and pulled it lightly. Looking into her eyes, he said, “Do what I say this time. Close your eyes. Just this once. And I’ll do whatever you say in the future.”
“Knock it off!”
Lin Shiru did not dare look back into Ye Xuan’s eyes. Her heart was beating very fast.
“No. I am serious. I really have something great for you. Close your eyes and open your mouth. Are you afraid I will use some drug to make you unconscious? It’s true that ... you are the prettiest woman I’ve ever seen, the gentlest woman, the cutest woman, but I certainly won’t do that.”
Seeing her almost freeze, Ye Xuan was complacent.
He had thought Lin Shiru might be pissed off if he did that.
But it turned out she was very obedient. He was actually surprised.
Therefore, he plucked up more courage and said something bolder.
“Well, just... Just this once. No next time.”
Lin Shiru flushed. She looked away and then closed her eyes slowly.
In the meantime, she opened her mouth.
