One night passed.
When Su Yuan woke up, it was already noon the next day.
"I actually slept so long..."
Sunlight streamed into the room, Su Yuan slowly opened his eyes and sat up.
The black robe on him was somewhat sweat-soaked, and even now upon waking, Su Yuan could still recall the fervent intoxication from yesterday’s wine.
"Although Brother Fu’s wine was quite potent, its efficacy was indeed astonishing..."
Su Yuan looked inwardly, the Three Suns were firmly entrenched in the Star Sea, and the newly broken Realm seemed slightly more stable.
Su Yuan shook his head with a smile, knowing full well that the wine from yesterday was definitely the prized stash of Fu Chaosheng.
Suddenly, Su Yuan’s nostrils twitched slightly, vaguely sensing a faint fragrance of narcissus.
"This seems to be... the scent on Mu Kexian?"
After a moment of thought, Su Yuan vaguely recalled that Mu Kexian was the one who supported him back from outside the palace last night.
And feeling that lingering faint fragrance, with a slight recollection, Su Yuan could not help but think of that strange dream from yesterday.
In the dream, there seemed to be a cool spring, enveloped in a refreshing comfort.
Speaking of which... Su Yuan raised his right hand, gently clenching it twice, momentarily lost in thought.
In the dream, he seemed to have grasped something, and even now there remained a slight tender slippery sensation, just a taste of which made Su Yuan’s heart flutter slightly...
"What was that thing?"
Su Yuan’s eyes showed contemplation, but he had slept too deeply yesterday to remember despite his efforts.
Shaking his head, Su Yuan let Star Power surge through his body, steaming the dampness off, and then stepped outside.
Just as he stepped out the door, a rich aroma of rice porridge wafted to him.
Su Yuan looked up and saw that Mu Kexian seemed to be... cooking porridge?
Mu Kexian’s movements were somewhat unskilled, and upon sensing someone approaching, she immediately flicked her green hair and turned to look.
"You’re awake?"
"Yeah, I slept too soundly yesterday, just woke up."
Su Yuan scrutinized Mu Kexian, noticing she had changed into a simple yet subtly exquisite chrysanthemum long dress, he couldn’t help but smile and praise:
"You look much better in this than in the clothes of Taishang Sect."
"Really?" Mu Kexian’s eyes brightened slightly, as if about to say more.
Just then, a burnt smell drifted over from nearby.
Mu Kexian immediately realized something, lifted the lid to see, and found the porridge slightly burnt!
"..." Mu Kexian was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed slightly, "I’ll redo it."
"No need, it’s still edible." Su Yuan shook his head with a smile, sat at the stone table, and served himself a bowl.
"How is it?" Mu Kexian asked.
Su Yuan took a couple of bites and nodded, "Not bad, thank you."
Even though it had a slightly burnt taste, it was warm and soft, quite comforting to eat after sobering up from alcohol.
To show his appreciation, Su Yuan served and ate two more bowls.
"How did you sleep yesterday?" Su Yuan asked casually.
"Hmm?... It was okay."
Mu Kexian’s body paused slightly, as if recalling something, her face flushed with a bit of red, and her gaze at Su Yuan bore a hint of peculiarity.
"That’s good..."
Su Yuan finished his porridge in two bites, set down his bowl and chopsticks, and lifted his head just in time to meet Mu Kexian’s eyes.
The mutual gaze was rather awkward, Su Yuan shifted his gaze away, only to end up involuntarily resting it on her tall bosom.
Suddenly, the sensation that had lingered in his palm earlier became much clearer.
Su Yuan suddenly seemed to realize something, his heart fluttered involuntarily.
"Could it be..."
Seeing Su Yuan’s changing expression, Mu Kexian’s eyes flashed with a bit of tension and panic.
"I... I’ll clean up."
Mu Kexian immediately stood up, took the bowls and chopsticks, and walked over to the sink to wash them.
Watching Mu Kexian walk away, Su Yuan then had a thought, secretly communicating with Ruan Ruan in the Guardian Beast Space.
"Puchi puchi! Master!"
"Ruan Ruan, did anything happen last night?"
"Last night? Nope, rest assured, Master, with Ruan Ruan here everything is safe!"
