As the dawn light pierced through the dark night clouds, Zhu Fei had already risen from the soaking barrel and stopped his cultivation.
At this moment, his breath was steady, and his spiritual power inside him had been refined once again, making his eyes faintly reveal a five-colored radiance.
With a casual lift of his hand, five hair-thin, five-colored dragon-shaped streams of air converged between Zhu Fei’s fingers.
This was the Five Elements Spiritual Power unique to individuals with the Five Elements bodily constitution.
After cultivating with the aid of Spirit Communication Powder for about a night, Zhu Fei’s cultivation, although not yet breaking through to the Qi Refining Second Level,
now possessed a purity and strength in his spiritual power that far exceeded his original state.
In light of this situation, although Zhu Fei felt somewhat surprised, it was not too unexpected.
After all, the Five Elements Creation and Transformation Skill was a profound cultivation technique that permeated the grand path—it naturally placed great importance on refining a cultivator’s foundation.
The breakthrough of his realm that should have been possible with the aid of Spirit Communication Powder was staunchly suppressed by the Five Elements Creation and Transformation Skill.
At this moment, Zhu Fei had already dressed and cleaned the living room.
Just then, he suddenly heard a woman’s whisper.
"Water, water, I need water."
Hearing this voice, Zhu Fei could not help but smile wryly, thinking, "The woman’s drunken stupor couldn’t have lasted until now, could it?"
While pondering, Zhu Fei had already taken a cup of warm water from the water dispenser and entered his own room.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhu Fei saw that Qiu Ruoxue had not yet awakened, so he stepped forward, helped her up, and fed her the water from the cup.
Only when Qiu Ruoxue had finished the water in the cup did her consciousness seem to clear up somewhat.
She opened her gloomy yet clear eyes and glanced around the room baffledly before finally settling her gaze on Zhu Fei.
Once she clearly saw the situation in front of her, the initially baffled Qiu Ruoxue’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
And with that, her pretty face flushed with two abnormal spots of red.
"What have you done to me? Where is this?"
Qiu Ruoxue’s sudden change in attitude caused Zhu Fei to momentarily stiffen, then he instinctively replied, "Don’t you remember? This is my house."
Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s response, Qiu Ruoxue reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her face immediately showing a trace of grief and anger.
"Zhu Fei! You bastard! I’ll fight you!"
Saying this, Qiu Ruoxue struck like lightning, her arm moving like a venomous snake, instantly blasting towards Zhu Fei’s throat.
Caught off guard by this sudden attack, Zhu Fei’s pupils also shrank.
With a "snap," Zhu Fei caught Qiu Ruoxue’s wrist firmly, immobilizing her arm.
His face darkened as he was about to scold her, but unexpectedly, Qiu Ruoxue, acting crazed, kicked out from under the blanket.
The blanket flew directly toward Zhu Fei’s face!
At the same time, Qiu Ruoxue summoned courage from somewhere and fiercely pulled back the wrist that Zhu Fei firmly grasped!
There was a loud "crack" and Qiu Ruoxue’s wrist was dislocated by her own forceful tug, instantly freeing her from Zhu Fei’s control!
He had never expected that this woman would be so ruthless; to escape from his grasp, she had actually gone to the extent of dislocating her own wrist.
Although her wrist wasn’t truly broken, the pain from the dislocation under such immense force was naturally imaginable.
Seeing that Qiu Ruoxue was relentless and even jumped up, her legs performing a scissor move, Zhu Fei could no longer bear it and fury rose from his heart, evil reaching his gall.
Immediately, he roared and, as he tore away the quilt, his hands firmly blocked Qiu Ruoxue’s attack, pushing himself forward.
With a thud, Zhu Fei pressed Qiu Ruoxue down.
He looked at Qiu Ruoxue’s fiery eyes and couldn’t help but be amused by her anger.
"I say, Qiu Ruoxue, have you had enough?"
While talking, Zhu Fei saw that Qiu Ruoxue was still silent, her fiery eyes fixed on him, which made him even angrier.
At that moment, he no longer held back and quickly tapped several points on Qiu Ruoxue’s body.
Qiu Ruoxue felt several currents of energy swiftly entering her body through the spots Zhu Fei had just touched, rendering her completely immobile for a moment.
The numb and stiff sensation in her body was truly shocking for Qiu Ruoxue.
"This... this is Power! You... you’re a martial artist!"
Hearing the sudden accusation from Qiu Ruoxue, Zhu Fei also slightly narrowed his eyes.
However, he clearly was not in the mood to discuss this matter with Qiu Ruoxue, and merely scoffed before he stood up and walked straight out of the room.
Before leaving the room, Zhu Fei finally dropped a comment.
"You should think about what exactly happened last night. I, Zhu Fei, rarely play the good guy, and yet this is the treatment I receive."
Watching Zhu Fei’s retreating figure, Qiu Ruoxue began to feel waves of cold passing through her body.
Now, the season was April, and during the day one might not feel the chill.
But it was dawn now, the time when the temperature is at its lowest during the day. Additionally, she had just woken up from a drunken stupor and was injured, making her body much weaker than usual.
Lying there, it didn’t take long before her teeth started chattering.
However, it was precisely because of this that her previously feverish mind gradually cooled down.
She furrowed her brows, trying hard to recall everything from the previous night.
Gradually, Qiu Ruoxue’s expression changed.
First, it was uncertain, then turned slightly pale, and finally, deep guilt emerged.
Though her consciousness was not clear at that time, she vaguely remembered some of the happenings after trying her best to recall.
Also, as she felt no abnormalities in her body now, she became even more certain in her mind.
Thinking of her previous actions towards Zhu Fei, a bitter smile surfaced on Qiu Ruoxue’s lips, and her heart felt complicated.
