Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Whoo…

There seemed to be a gust of wind blowing past outside the window.

Luo Qingzhou suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. His heart skipped a beat as he turned to look at the window.

The window that had just been closed was now open.

Outside the window, a cold figure was standing silently.

Luo Qingzhou’s hand, which was about to pull off the pink undergarment, suddenly froze.

“Sir… No, I don’t want…”

Bai Ling bent her legs and knelt on the bed. She bent down, raised her hips, and whimpered.

The figure outside the window did not move.

However, the cold air was even colder than the snow.

Luo Qingzhou froze for dozens of seconds before tying her bodice that he had just untied.

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment. She immediately stopped whimpering and turned to look at him. Her sobbing voice suddenly turned into surprise and confusion. “Sir, why are you tying it up again?”

Then, she saw the figure outside the window and was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, she started crying again. “Sir, don’t… I beg you, stop lusting after me. I’d rather die than submit. I’d rather die than submit!”

Luo Qingzhou tied it up for her, then silently helped her put on her coat. He also silently undid the belt on her wrist and tied it back around her slender waist.

Then, he silently left the room and returned to his own room.

He closed the door and windows.

Then, he took off his clothes and got into bed, wrapping himself in the blanket. After a while.

Bai Ling’s faint voice suddenly came from the courtyard. “Sir, I’m leaving… If you stop lusting after me tonight, I’ll forgive you. If there’s a next time… Hmph, I’ll cry!”

With that, she stomped her feet and her footsteps gradually faded away.

SQUEAK.

The courtyard door opened and closed.

Luo Qingzhou was still lying on the bed, wrapped in a blanket and motionless.

After a long time.

He carefully turned his head and looked out the window.

The window was still closed.

It was silent outside.

After waiting for nearly an hour, there was still no sound.

He finally heaved a sigh of relief. His back was already drenched in cold sweat.

Looking at the curtain above his head, he fell into deep thought.

From the test just now, there was no doubt about the truth.

If not for Xia Chan’s sudden appearance, he would have taken off all her clothes.

However, she still did not resist.

It was fine if he usually hugged and kissed her, but he was serious just now.

However, she looked like she wanted to reject him but was still welcoming him.

It was impossible for her not to be the one who slept with him.

Although she had a strange personality and was carefree, it was absolutely impossible for her to allow someone to strip her naked and forcefully sleep with her.

Judging from the way the Qin family treated her, she was definitely not simple.

Moreover, Xia Chan and her were the same. Xia Chan was so powerful. As a maidservant of the First Young Miss, she could not possibly be weak and allow herself to be bullied by others.

Therefore, there was only one reason why she allowed him to bully her just now.

She had already slept with him and was already his.

The reason why she still wanted to hide it in such a situation was not only because they would find it awkwvard when they faced each other after the truth was revealed, but also because it concerned First Young Miss Qin and the Qin family’s reputation.

Therefore, even if everyone knew about this, they had to continue pretending to be stupid.

If he wanted to continue staying here safely with Xiao Die, he had to continue playing dumb with them.

Although it was a little humiliating, everyone had been humiliated before.

Moreover, he felt that he was not at a disadvantage.

At the very least, it was better than being on tenterhooks all day in the Chengguo Residence. Back then, he did not have enough to eat, or clothes to wear, and was humiliated all day long.

He let his imagination run wild.

He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

It was not dawn yet.

Luo Qingzhou did not feel sleepy. After thinking for a while, he got up and sat down. He calmed his mind and his soul left his body.

Instead of wasting time thinking nonsense, he might as well make the best use of his time to cultivate.

At this point, there was no point in thinking too much.

His soul leaped out of his head and fluttered through the window.

Just as he was about to ascend to the roof, he suddenly saw a layer of light blue ice crystals floating in a radius of more than 10 meters around the entrance of the small courtyard. Even the ground was covered in a thin layer of ice crystals. It was like a small world of ice. Just looking at it made one’s body turn cold!

Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment before he suddenly thought of something. He carefully rose to a higher altitude and looked out the door.

As expected, there was a beautiful and cold figure standing at the door.

She still had her arms crossed and her sword in her arms. She stood there motionless, like a statue in the night.

“She hasn’t left yet?’

“What is she doing, standing outside the door?’

Luo Qingzhou was puzzled and did not dare to go out again. He could only pass through the roof and float back into the house.

He got out of bed and put on his clothes.

He opened the window and looked outside.

The light blue ice crystals that were floating in the air earlier and the ice crystals covering the ground disappeared.

No, it did not disappear.

His soul could see it, but it was difficult to see with the naked eye.

It was a personal aura, or rather, an aura.

For example, powerful martial artists with vigorous Qi and blood could be seen from afar as if they were burning with flames.

However, Luo Qingzhou did not expect that the cold girl’s aura was also cold.

No wonder every time he saw her, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Bai Ling said that she would be within 10 steps of him in an instant and she attacked with unfailing accuracy. Her sword would definitely seal his throat. That kind of ability was probably related to this aura.

The range of the ice crystals he saw just now happened to be about 10 meters.

However…

How could she still have stomachaches and menstrual cramps when she was that powerful?

Logically speaking, after a martial artist refined their body…

Wait a minute, from what his soul had seen just now, she did not seem to be a martial artist!

There was almost no blood-red light at all.

However, if she was not a martial artist, how could she have such a fast sword and speed?

It seemed that the girl had a lot of secrets.

Take Bai Ling for example. She looked innocent, innocent, gentle, and weak. She was bullied by him and got kissed by him every day, but she was very crafty. She might even be an expert at pretending to be weak!

There was a saying.

Powerful hunters often appeared as prey.

Bai Ling was probably like this.

It was hard to say who was testing who tonight.

Luo Qingzhou thought for a while in the room before walking out. He went to the kitchen to start the stove.

After the charcoal fire burned, he was about to go out when he saw two small stools beside him. After some thought, he took one of them and placed it in front of the stove. He took the other and placed it in the furthest corner.

Only then did he go out. He stretched in the small courtyard and muttered to himself, “I can’t sleep.”

With that, he went straight over and opened the courtyard door.

Outside the door, the girl was still holding her sword and standing there motionlessly like a statue. When she saw him open the door, she turned her body slightly to the side and turned her face away. She looked elsewhere with a cold expression.

“Oh? Miss Xia Chan, why are you standing here? What’s the matter?”

He chose to forget what had just happened in the room.

Xia Chan’s expression was still cold, she did not say a word.

Seeing that her face was a little pale, Luo Qingzhou moved aside and said, “It’s cold outside. Come in and keep yourself warm. The stove is lit.”

Seeing that she was still not moving, he could only say, “Please… I beg of you…”

As soon as he said that, the girl snorted and immediately turned around. She entered the house and walked into the kitchen.

Luo Qingzhou’s lips twitched. He closed the courtyard door and said in the direction of the kitchen, “Miss Xia Chan, get warmed first, I’ll get you a cup of hot water.”

By the time he returned to the kitchen with the hot water, the cold girl was already holding her sword and sitting on the small stool beside the stove.

At the same time, the other small stool that was originally placed in the corner was placed beside it.

Like before, that seat was placed neither close nor far away from her, separated by one seat.

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and handed over the hot water in his hand. “Miss Xia Chan, drink some water. It’s hot.”

The girl turned her head away and ignored him.

Luo Qingzhou could only sit down with the water. He glanced at her again and asked, “It’s already so late. Why are you still standing outside? Can’t you sleep?”

There was still no response.

Luo Qingzhou could not be bothered to waste his energy and thoughts talking to himself anymore. He held the water and looked at the red charcoal fire on the stove. He recalled his cultivation.

The room fell silent.

Only the occasional soft sound of burning charcoal could be heard clearly.

When the water was about to turn cold, Luo Qingzhou handed it over again: “Miss Xia Chan, drink some water.”

He did not beg again.

Take it or leave it.

“Miss Xia Chan, it’s getting late, we should go back and sleep.”

Xia Chan did not reply.

“You’re not feeling well. You should go back quickly.”

She still remained mum.

“Um, I’m a little tired. I still have to wake up early to study tomorrow. Why don’t you sit by yourself? I’ll go back to my room to sleep first.’

“Hmph!”

The girl finally made a sound. She turned her face away and stared at him coldly.

Luo Qingzhou could only say, “All right, I’ll sit with you for a while more.”

He sat there until dawn.

Luo Qingzhou yawned a few times.

As the night receded, the girl finally got up. When she passed by him, she accidentally tripped on the stool that he was sitting on.

BANG!

Luo Qingzhou fell to the ground.

When he turned around, the cold girl had already left the kitchen and quickly disappeared into the small courtyard outside.

“Is this my repayment for sitting with her for two nights? A woman’s heart is indeed unpredictable.”

“All right, it might also be a punishment for molesting Bai Ling.”

Luo Qingzhou got up from the ground, patted his butt, turned off the fire, and returned to his room to sleep.

He slept until noon.

After dinner, just as he was about to go to the stone room at the bottom of the lake to cultivate, Zhu’er appeared at the door angrily. She said with a straight face, “Sir, have you forgotten what you promised Madam? Miss has been waiting for you all morning. You’re too much!”

Only then did Luo Qingzhou remember that he should go to Second Young Miss’s place today.

“Sorry, I didn’t sleep well last night. I woke up late this morning.”

Luo Qingzhou apologized and could only say, “Then is it convenient for me to go now?”

Zhu’er said angrily, “Miss’s body is weak. She has to take a nap every time at this time.”

Luo Qingzhou nodded. Just as he was about to say “Forget it”, the maidservant glared at him again and said, “Because we were waiting for you, Miss has been in the study room all this while and refuses to rest. Why are you still dawdling?

Hurry up and go.”

Luo Qingzhou did not say anything else and left.

Zhu’er followed behind him and muttered with reddened eyes, “Miss was afraid that Sir wouldn’t enter the house again and would feel uncomfortable standing outside. She even specially prepared a chair with a blanket for you… She even prepared her own hand warmer and covered it with one hand, preparing to give it to you… She also personally went to the kitchen to make some snacks for you. Miss coughed up a lot of blood last night. She should have been lying in bed today, but when she thought that you were coming over, she woke up very early and waited in the study room.”

At the end of her sentence, the maidservant’s tears fell uncontrollably like pearls.

Luo Qingzhou frowned and walked forward silently.

When they almost reached Qin Weimo’s residence, Luo Qingzhou stopped.

After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and asked, “Miss Zhu’er, can I ask you one thing? Second Young Miss… what illness is she suffering from?”
