Chapter 60: A vixen's waist is a fatal blade!

At this moment, Xu Yan had already arrived at his personal bedchamber.

There was not a single person here, yet all the facilities were fully equipped.

It resembled a secluded palace courtyard, meant for a lonely ruler at the very top.

The bedroom was exceptionally spacious, and the large soft couch featured the finest mattress available on the entire continent.

When sitting upon it, it possessed remarkable elasticity.

Furthermore, the quilts and bedsheets were all brand new.

Looking at all of this, Xu Yan was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.

Bibi Dong was truly too good to him.

I love you so much, my wife!

Just at this moment, Hu Liena walked in looking rather huffed and puffed, but upon seeing the environment here, she could not help a gasp of shock.

This was even more luxurious than the palace of the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire!

Though somewhat of an exaggeration—it certainly could not compare to actual emperors—the ambiance and spaciousness definitely had that flavor.

Seeing Xu Yan constantly rolling around on his bed as if he were extremely happy, she immediately marched over in a fit of aggrieved anger.

"Xu Yan... what did you mean by that remark just now? Were you threatening me?"

Hu Liena walked right up to Xu Yan, speaking with a pout of indignation.

Xu Yan was slightly stunned. He sat up and saw Hu Liena standing right before him.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Xu Yan said helplessly. "Senior Sister, this is trespassing into my private domain. I have every right to throw you out, you know!"

"You wouldn't dare! If it weren't for me, would you have ever gained the Teacher's appreciation?"

"Even while I was in seclusion, I specifically asked the Teacher to keep a closer eye on you. Look at you—is this how you repay me?"

Xu Yan's expression darkened. He stood up, looked straight at Hu Liena, and asked, "Then what exactly do you want? Tell me. Let's see if it's something I can do, as long as it doesn't cross my bottom line."

"What is your bottom line?" Hu Liena demanded righteously.

After all, the person who used to be her personal bodyguard and muscle—summoned at her whim and dismissed at her pleasure—had suddenly become the esteemed Holy Son. She still felt a certain psychological gap.

Although she held a trace of unusual affection for Xu Yan, it went no further than that.

"My bottom line?"

After saying this, Xu Yan pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and pulled her directly into his arms.

This time, Hu Liena resisted, releasing her soul power to push back.

However, Xu Yan directly unleashed a mental shockwave, stunning her into place.

Hu Liena tried to resist again, but Xu Yan casually backhanded her across the face. He did not use his full strength, yet the crisp sound of the slap still echoed through the room.

"I love you, can't you understand that? My bottom line is that I refuse to be a simp!"

Hu Liena froze. Cupping her delicate cheek, she stared at Xu Yan in sheer disbelief.

She felt a wave of furious indignation; she never expected that Xu Yan would actually dare to strike her. The world had truly turned upside down.

She tried to swing back in retaliation, but Xu Yan firmly caught her wrist with one hand and delivered two more backhanded slaps.

"Senior Sister, I truly love you!"

With that, Xu Yan gave her a firm push, sending her tumbling backward onto the soft mattress.

Hu Liena could no longer hold back her sobs as she cried, "Xu Yan, you jerk! How dare you hit me..."

She burst into tears. This was precisely the sight of a beauty weeping, enough to break anyone's heart!

A beauty's tears invite one's deepest sympathy, her pear blossoms drenched in rain swaying softly in the wind!

At this moment, the proud and noble vixen appeared utterly frail and delicate before Xu Yan.

A calm expression surfaced on Xu Yan's face. He then summoned dozens of golden soul rings, condensing a golden fruit within his palm.

He slowly walked over, leaning down right in front of Hu Liena.

Hu Liena turned her head away in deep anger. Strangely, she did not immediately get up to fight Xu Yan to the death.

This was something Xu Yan found hard to imagine, but it was likely because she had finally assessed the situation clearly.

From the moment she stepped into this bedchamber, Hu Liena knew just how deeply favored Xu Yan was in the Teacher's heart.

She herself fell far short of that standing.

Although Bibi Dong had always been quite good to her, she now realized that the Teacher was even better to Xu Yan.

"Senior Sister, do you know how much bullying and humiliation I suffered from Yan because of his crush on you?"

"I endured it all this time. But now, I no longer wish to hold it in and suffer in silence. From now on, whoever provokes me, I kill; whoever dares to defy me, I destroy."

Having said this, Xu Yan directly shoved the golden fruit into Hu Liena's hands and said, "Nana, I've actually liked you for a very long time. In the past, our status kept us apart, but now, I can finally love you openly and without reservation."

Feeling the rich soul power radiating from the golden fruit in her hands, Hu Liena finally turned her head back to look at Xu Yan.

"You like me and yet you hit me?" Hu Liena asked with a grievance-laden sniffle, before starting to cry all over again.

This golden fruit served as his apology—a slap followed immediately by a sweet treat.

As Hu Liena turned her tear-streaked face toward him and whimpered, Xu Yan leaned in and precisely captured her rosy lips in a kiss.

Hu Liena's eyes widened in shock, her entire body stiffening.

As Xu Yan expertly and gently unlocked the doors to her heart, she completely surrendered.

With her mind turning blissfully blank, she simply lost herself in the most wonderful moment.

The golden fruit slipped from her fingers, landing softly on the mattress and flashing with a continuous golden radiance.

Even the hand that had initially resisted her gradually relaxed.

Moreover, she actually took the initiative to raise her arms, wrapping them securely around Xu Yan's neck.

Receiving this unmistakable signal, Xu Yan knew immediately that Hu Liena no longer pushed him away, but had truly accepted him.

It seemed this girl had feelings for him as well.

Nighttime.

Xu Yan sat by the edge of the bed, taking a sip of water while mentally complaining that this world lacked cigarettes.

A cigarette after the deed beats living like an immortal!

Lacking tobacco, water was the only substitute.

Meanwhile, Hu Liena was currently absorbing the golden fruit she had consumed.

Her entire body was suffused with a golden glow, brimming with dense soul power.

Not long after, once she had fully integrated the golden fruit, her soul power increased, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Though she had not broken through to the next rank, she was already standing right on the threshold.

"Xiao Yan... what on earth was that soul power fruit?" Hu Liena smoothed down her collar, used her fingers to tidy her silky hair, and turned to ask.

Xu Yan reached out, and Hu Liena very naturally settled onto his lap.

As he stroked Hu Liena's supple waist, Xu Yan nuzzled into the crook of her neck and said, "It's a fruit that enhances soul power. In the future, whenever you need to break through a bottleneck, just come to me. I will do everything in my power to help you advance."

A bright, beautiful smile bloomed across Hu Liena's exquisite face as she replied, "Alright... is this considered an ability of a Food-system martial soul?"

"Yes. In battle, I can provide supplies like this to help you recover or boost your soul power," Xu Yan answered.

"No wonder the Teacher values you so much... Are you a twin martial soul genius?" Hu Liena asked with surprise.

Xu Yan continued nuzzling against her neck, gave a soft nod of affirmation, and finally lifted his head. Reaching out, he pinched her snow-white chin and said, "Senior Sister, keep this matter quiet. I want to save it as our trump card for the finals. I will be your ultimate trump card, and I'll only step into the arena for the finals."

Hu Liena nodded obediently. "I understand."

Only then did Xu Yan nod in satisfaction and say, "Alright, it's getting dark. Go gather everyone and bring them to the Holy Son's Palace. I have matters to discuss."

With that, Xu Yan released her.

Hu Liena nodded, then immediately turned and walked out.

Watching Hu Liena's graceful retreating figure and her swaying slender waist, he thought: A vixen's waist truly is a fatal blade!
