"I really like you. Do you like me or not?"
Chen Nan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I kind of like you, but I’m afraid I might change my heart in the future and let you down."
Han Yuting shook her head, "I’m not afraid."
"But I’m afraid. I really don’t want to hurt you." Chen Nan reached out to touch her hair and said, "Besides, I’m quite a player. I... I already have many wives now."
Han Yuting looked at him in confusion, "How many is many?"
"I already have... five or six." Chen Nan, for once, felt a bit embarrassed, even thinking he was too much of a player himself.
Han Yuting, tipsy, with muddled thoughts, counted on her fingers and muttered, "That sounds like a lot, how can you have so many?"
"Yeah, how do I have so many?" Chen Nan retorted.
Han Yuting scratched her head and said, "Anyway, since you already have so many, it wouldn’t matter if you added me. I want to be your wife too, okay?"
Can you take what this girl says when she’s drunk seriously?
Chen Nan nodded and said, "Whatever you wish, I agree. You should go to sleep now."
At this moment, Li Xiao called.
Chen Nan looked at the number on the phone, gritted his teeth, and answered, "Xiao Xiao, what are you doing?"
"Thinking about you!"
Li Xiao said expectantly, "Didn’t you say you’d come see me tonight, why haven’t you come yet?"
After returning from Immortal Spirit Valley, Chen Nan had called her, saying he’d visit her at night, but now he was holding Han Yuting, making Li Xiao wait in anxious expectation.
"I have something to do right now, I’ll be a bit late."
"What are you busy with?" Li Xiao asked curiously.
Chen Nan didn’t dare to say it. Although he didn’t want to lie to Li Xiao, he had no choice but to fib, "I’m... I’m eating with some old friends."
Just as he finished speaking—
Han Yuting grumbled unhappily.
Chen Nan was startled, and at that moment, Li Xiao’s voice came from the phone, "Are you really at dinner?"
Could she have heard it?
Chen Nan stiffened and replied, "Yes... yes!"
Li Xiao did hear Han Yuting’s voice, but she wasn’t sure and thought she might have imagined it, so she asked Chen Nan, whose hesitant tone left her disappointed.
After a moment of silence, Li Xiao laughed, "I believe you wouldn’t lie to me."
Chen Nan could clearly sense that Li Xiao realized he was lying. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Xiao Xiao, I’m sorry, don’t be mad."
"What are you saying, it’s just that you’re coming a bit late. I don’t get angry that easily, but try to come early. I’m waiting for you." Li Xiao was a smart woman. Between exposing and forgiving, she chose forgiveness.
Chen Nan understood her meaning and nodded, "I’ll definitely be there before ten."
"Alright, if you’re late, I’ll have to punish you."
"Don’t worry, I won’t be late."
After hanging up, Chen Nan looked at Han Yuting, who had already fallen asleep in his arms.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Nan helped her sit up straight, took out a black Pei Yuan Pill, and put it into her mouth, then used Qi Movement to help her absorb its effects.
This Pei Yuan Pill is used by cultivators as the perfect medicine for washing essence and marrow of entry-level disciples and getting on the path of cultivation. For ordinary people, it’s the absolute holy medicine for strengthening and training the body, something that even many wealthy people can’t buy with money.
The elixir transformed into a refreshing stream that flowed through Han Yuting’s entire body, washing essence and marrow, improving her constitution.
Half an hour later, the elixir was fully absorbed, and Chen Nan could clearly feel Han Yuting’s life force had become more vigorous than before.
He helped her take off her coat and covered her with a blanket.
"If you still remember what you said tonight by morning, I won’t go back on my word either." Chen Nan glanced at the beauty on the bed and turned to walk out.
After leaving Han Yuting’s house, Chen Nan prepared to go home first before heading to see Li Xiao.
"You little rascal, always causing trouble with girls again."
Xuan Tianji’s voice suddenly rang out, startling Chen Nan. He hurriedly turned to see the old man in white, shaking a folding fan as he walked out from under a tree by the roadside, standing out so clearly in the night.
"At least I’m better than you, looking for women at your age, isn’t that embarrassing!" Chen Nan retorted.
The old man glared, "You little brat, dare to talk back to me, say one more word and see what happens!"
Chen Nan had no choice but to back down and changed the topic, "Good timing, I happened to have something to ask you."
Xuan Tianji glanced at him and said, "Do you mean that girl in the red dress?"
