Xu Wendong chuckled softly. Even though Ye Gucheng was about to investigate him, he remained completely unafraid.
After all, he was a cultivator at the Second Layer of the Qi Refinement Realm.
Although he didn’t know how strong a Great Grandmaster was, he was confident enough to fight them!
He looked at Ye Qingxin, "Miss Su has traveled a long way, make sure she is well taken care of." With that, he put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the True Dragon Zen Court.
Su Xiaodie was dumbfounded.
I traveled hundreds of miles to bring you medicine, and you’re letting your maid entertain me?
Although a bit displeased inside, Su Xiaodie knew Xu Wendong was no ordinary person. As someone with such status, the lofty identity of the Su Family’s daughter didn’t allow her to flaunt herself before Xu Wendong.
After arriving at the True Dragon Zen Court, Xu Wendong found Ye Zhirou, "Xiao Rou, I bought you a phone so you can learn about the world outside!" He then explained to her how to use the phone.
Although Ye Zhirou didn’t know much about the outside world, she was exceptionally smart and quickly grasped how to use the phone, developing a great interest in it.
To thank Xu Wendong for his kindness, Ye Zhirou personally cooked him a bowl of plain noodles and a bowl of tofu cabbage soup.
Even though Xu Wendong wasn’t a picky eater, he wasn’t quite used to such bland food, but he couldn’t let down someone’s kind intentions.
After gobbling down lunch, Xu Wendong returned to the east wing and neatly arranged the medicinal herbs, placing them in the medicine cabinet.
Although the True Dragon Zen Court was somewhat dilapidated, it had several solid wood medicine cabinets, which came in handy.
"I’ll start by refining some Body Tempering Pills to help Ye Qingxin temper her body, then I’ll refine Boosting Qi Pills."
Xu Wendong sat cross-legged.
Soon, a dark light appeared in front of him, and the Ge Furnace strangely emerged before him, hovering there silently.
Then he calmed his mind and began placing the herbs into the ’Ge Furnace’ for refining.
Both the Body Tempering Pills and Boosting Qi Pills were basic elixirs, so refining them wasn’t very difficult for Xu Wendong.
It was only by evening that he stopped his alchemy work.
By then, he had already refined ten Body Tempering Pills and twenty Boosting Qi Pills.
A faint medicinal fragrance filled the room, washing away his exhaustion.
"These elixirs should help Ye Qingxin break through the bottleneck, right?" Xu Wendong’s lips curved into a charming smile.
With a thought, the pill furnace magically entered his body, and then Xu Wendong put on his shoes and walked out of the wing room.
He could clearly see the distant setting sun, red and vibrant, like a ripe persimmon hanging on the horizon.
Just as Xu Wendong was about to go downhill, he heard a sound that made his scalp tingle. Following the direction of the sound, he looked over.
He saw the young nun Ye Zhirou sitting in the kitchen, engrossed in watching her phone, completely oblivious to the bubbling sounds from the pot.
Xu Wendong walked over, and when he reached Ye Zhirou’s side, he was shocked by the explosive content on the phone: "Why are you watching this kind of stuff?"
Ye Zhirou was startled by Xu Wendong’s sudden appearance, almost dropping the phone: "I... I’m learning what love is!"
"No...," Xu Wendong said, "Where did you find this kind of video?"
Although there were some illegal sites on the internet, Ye Zhirou had just learned to go online, so her watching this kind of video was somewhat surprising to Xu Wendong.
Ye Zhirou answered obediently, "I registered a social account, asked others, and they gave me a website."
Xu Wendong said displeased, "Don’t chat with strangers online. There are hardly any good people online! If you don’t listen to me, be careful, I’ll confiscate your phone!"
Ye Zhirou nervously lowered her head and softly said, "Don’t be angry, I won’t chat with them anymore."
"That’s more like it."
Xu Wendong bought Ye Zhirou a phone to let her understand the world outside, not to let her learn bad things.
A slightly pained moan came from the phone, and Ye Zhirou handed it to Xu Wendong, innocently asking, "Benefactor Xu, why does this woman look a bit... happy in her pain?"
Xu Wendong almost spat out an old blood.
It was the first time he’d watched such a film with a woman.
And the other party was a young nun who knew nothing of the world.
"And also, why does this man have a stick on him? Why is he poking the woman? What’s the point of doing this?" Ye Zhirou’s eyes were full of innocence.
"Is this what they call love?"
"They look so tired."
"Why do they do such tiring things?"
"Why do I feel a bit hot all over?" Saying this, the young nun’s eyes showed a look of confusion, the first time she ever had such a feeling.
It was a very peculiar feeling, even making her cheeks grow hot.
Xu Wendong was just about to speak when Ye Zhirou looked at him with innocent, gentle eyes: "Benefactor Xu, do you also have a stick on you?"
Xu Wendong felt like he had suffered internal injuries.
Previously, he thought Ye Zhirou was just naive, but now he realized he might have been too simple-minded.
She wasn’t just naive.
She truly knew nothing.
Not even the difference between men and women.
He cleared his throat awkwardly, "Xiao Rou, please turn off the phone first. There’s something I want to correct with you."
Ye Zhirou obediently turned off her phone, looking eager to learn.
Xu Wendong said, "First, I have to commend you for your eagerness to learn, but love and making love are not the same. Love is an emotion, a spiritual bond and attachment."
"Whereas making love is a physical exchange, a collision." He was full of awkwardness because only now did he realize.
He seemed to have misunderstood Ye Zhirou’s question.
Her question should have been about what love was.
She just left out the "love" part.
And he had taken it for granted that she asked what making love was.
Otherwise, this mix-up wouldn’t have occurred.
Ye Zhirou was full of doubt: "Is there a difference between the two?"
Xu Wendong touched the tip of his nose, "One touches the heart, the other touches the body."
Ye Zhirou asked again, "So just touching the body doesn’t count as love?"
"I wouldn’t say so," Xu Wendong replied, "If both touch the heart and body, it means the love is deeper."
Ye Zhirou nodded slightly, as if she understood something. After a moment’s hesitation, she looked at Xu Wendong, her eyes filled with innocent tension: "Benefactor Xu, can we start by touching bodies?"
