--- Chapter 123 ---

After drinking with Dugu Bo, Yunlong slowly walked back to the training house near the medicinal herbs.

"He should be fine." Yunlong shook his head while thinking of drunk Dugu Bo, who had been heavily asleep after drinking so much wine.

He took a leisure stroll and arrived at the house a few minutes later, which now had a completely different aura from before.

"Hmm?" Yunlong looked at the house with a confused expression.

Chu Yunxi suddenly opened the front door and walked out, greeting him with a smile on her face. "Welcome, young master." She gently said.

'Oh, It's already late, and she didn't sleep?' Yunlong thought while approaching Chu Yunxi with a calm expression.

They stared at each other's eyes for a moment and chuckled because the mood became somewhat awkward between the two of them.

"So, why didn't you sleep, Yunxi?" Yunlong asked with a smile on his face.

Chu Yunxi quietly responded with a shake of her head and gently replied, "I'm not sleepy yet."

Yunlong, who heard Chu Yunxi's words, nodded his head in consent and walked past her into the house. "I see, then see you later in the morning." He casually said.

He was about to walk toward the second floor, and Chu Yunxi suddenly proposed, "Young master, what about a cup of tea."

Yunlong's steps halted for a moment, and he slowly shifted his gaze to Chu Yunxi, looking at her with a slightly surprised glance.

"Sure... I also had something to ask." Yunlong responded positively, and Chu Yunxi smiled at him.

They walked together to the dining room, and Chu Yunxi swiftly prepared a warm tea for Yunlong, accompanied by a few light snacks.

Yunlong naturally observed Chu Yunxi with an attentive gaze and noticed she frequently yet softly giggled when preparing tea for him.

He stared at her for a few more seconds and Chu Yunxi, who realized his gaze, only smiled inside her head while deciding to giggle a little more.

'Did the young master have an interest in me?' Chu Yunxi thought while shaking her head.

Chu Yunxi couldn't forget six years ago when the mistress and the young master saved her and Xiaoyu.

Even though she was not conscious back then to witness the scene with her own eyes, Xiaoyu told her everything happened there.

'I also won't forget that man..' Chu Yunxi's eyes abruptly became really cold for a second.

Chu Yunxi released a sigh and looked at the teapot in her hand with a wry smile because the temperature had become slightly colder.

"Hah, I need to control my sentiment." She quietly muttered with distress while warming the teapot again, which took her a few moments.

'Yunxi had warmed that teapot for a while. She didn't put anything weird inside that tea, right?' Yunlong suddenly pondered while looking at Chu Yunxi, who turned around and lightly put a cup of tea for him on the table.

"So... What were you doing when you're with my mother?" Yunlong asked to lighten up the mood because he didn't like this silence.

"Hmm, I don't do much except help the mistress as a secretary and receive special training from her." Chu Yunxi answered while taking a seat in front of Yunlong.

"Only that?" Yunlong questioned with a weird expression.

Chu Yunxi didn't answer and only nodded her head because there is also a secret between her and the mistress that she couldn't say to Yunlong.

"What about you, young master?" Chu Yunxi said to change the topic because she also wants to know about Yunlong's experience in these four years.

Yunlong took a sip and began to tell a story when he met Liu Erlong and fought her, which ended with him as the winner.

"Eh, you win against her?" Chu Yunxi said with a shocked expression, to which Yunlong reacted with a casual shrug.

"Let's just say that I had a lot of advantages." Yunlong honestly answered while thinking about his spirit ring configuration, which could cause a great shock to everyone who saw it.

Yunlong didn't precisely explain what happened in the fight with Liu Erlong and continued the story, which is to when he arrived at the star luo empire and started the conquest.

The story slowly flowed and Chu Yunxi curiously listened to it, which made her unaware that she became really sleepy all of a sudden.

"I then got trained by that old man-." Yunlong abruptly stopped his story and looked at Chu Yunxi, whose head had been lying on the table because she had already fallen asleep.

Yunlong shook his head and finished the tea in one gulp. "Phew, I had wine and now tea." He helplessly commented.

He gently lifted Chu Yunxi's delicate body with his hands and slowly carried her to the guest bedroom in the back, which no one used, and softly placed her on the bed.

"Good night, Yunxi," Yunlong said while closing the door, leaving the maid alone in her room.

A few minutes after Yunlong went away to his room on the second floor, Chu Yunxi slightly opened her eyes and smiled.

"Good night, young master." She said while closing her eyes again.

--- Yunlong's Bedroom ---

Yunlong had arrived at his bedroom, and to his surprise, it was locked by probably his sister.

"Well, what kind of activity did she do inside, to the point of locking it with an essence tool." He said while looking at the golden lock, which is on the doorknob.

This lock seemed like it could only be opened by a specific key, Yunlong didn't overthink it and took a golden thread out of his clothes.

The golden thread melted and became liquid, which swiftly entered the lock.

After Yunlong resembled the shape of the golden liquid to the lock shape and hardened it, he rotated the golden thread, and a clicking sound echoed.

Click!

The door slowly opened, and Yunlong could finally see his room, which had been decorated with a bunch of fragrant flowers.

[I LOVE YUNLONG]

"Uuh..." Yunlong looked at the red words on the bedsheet, which were literally created from hundreds of red roses.

He stayed in his position for a good few minutes and released a sigh because it looked like Qian Renxue really missed him.

"Looks like those letters I wrote for her weren't enough." Yunlong looked at a stack of the letters on the table near the bed.

"Well, let's sleep and shock her tomorrow." He continued while walking toward the bed and lay his body.

Yunlong smelled a fresh flower scent on the bed, and an imaginary silhouette of Qian Renxue appeared, laying her lovely body beside him.

"Good night..." Yunlong whispered while closing his eyes.
