They spent the night in silence, and Ren Feifan woke up quite early. As he opened his eyes, he felt something weighing down on him. On taking a closer look, Ren Feifan couldn’t help but laugh.
Apparently, Xu Shihan was quite a restless sleeper. At the moment, her long, fair, splendid leg was draped over him.
The impeccably long, evenly polished bare leg and even her graceful feet were subtly enchanting, sending an alluring invitation.
Ren Feifan chuckled, extending his hand and tracing a path from Xu Shihan’s ankle to her thigh.
There was hardly any fat on Xu Shihan’s legs; they felt as comfortable as jade to the touch.
After about ten minutes of this, Ren Feifan let go, leaning over to tenderly kiss the still-sleeping Xu Shihan.
"Consider this the interest on our wager," Ren Feifan casually stated.
Dressed and ready, Ren Feifan sat at Xu Shihan’s desk, tearing a piece of paper from her notebook and jotting down the improved formula for Beauty fluid.
Rather than giving away the elixir’s formula, he settled for providing an enhancement to the beauty fluid. This may perhaps have a better impact on Elime’s future.
Ren Feifan wasn’t a saint. He had an abundance of such formulas. Having received this legacy, he had to do something with it.
Initially, he had saved Xu Shihan, and somehow ended up in her company. Sometimes, fate works in mysterious ways.
Since he and Xu Shihan were destined to cross paths, it was only right to leave her a token of their pact. After all, she was his contractual wife.
Six months? Well, we’ll see if you still want to leave me then.
It wasn’t until eight in the morning that Xu Shihan sleepily awoke. Rubbing her bleary eyes, she realized that the bedding next to her had been neatly folded.
For some reason, she was reminded of a story:
It was the tale of a couple who had booked a room at an inn one day. Before they went to sleep, the woman drew a line down the middle of the bed and warned the man that he would be an animal if he dared to step over it, and she would have nothing to do with him afterward.
When she woke up the next morning, she found that the man had indeed stayed on his side of the line without stepping over. Guess what? The woman slapped the man’s face, leaving him regretful for days. The man cried and defended himself: "I didn’t even move an inch!"
The woman scolded: "You’re even worse than an animal!"
Laughing helplessly at the fleeting thought, Xu Shihan dressed and prepared for her morning wash. However, she was soon distracted by a note left on her desk.
"He’s up so early? Playing the old trick of leaving a note behind? Must be something about cutting ties, so boring."
A second later, Xu Shihan was frozen in shock.
She clenched the piece of paper tightly, her body subtly trembling.
"He...he just handed something so valuable over to me? How is that possible?"
At first, Xu Shihan found it hard to believe, but as she read further, she realized she had never genuinely understood Ren Feifan.
For some reason, instead of feeling overjoyed at this moment, a deep sense of loss welled up within her.
At this moment, her cheeks felt feverishly hot. She had a penchant for second-guessing people’s intentions, and she always thought Ren Feifan was such a person.
But now looking back, she realized she was wrong – terribly wrong.
It turns out that it was she, Xu Shihan, who was the real petty one...
Ren Feifan had no idea that his formula would have such a significant impact on Xu Shihan. At this moment, he arrived at the hotel where he had arranged for the Demon Queen to stay.
Knocking on the door, the Demon Queen quickly opened it.
"Demon Queen, how was your rest?"
"Master, I have almost fully recovered, and... I want to leave."
The fairy said, biting her lips. She had contemplated this decision for a long time.
She realized that her master was getting stronger and stronger, and she was always the weak link. She needed him to rescue her before, and she still does now. She was too weak, she wanted to become stronger!
To become stronger, she needed to return to her original place!
Over the years, some of her memories had started to return.
To her astonishment, she discovered that she was not an ordinary person, she was actually the Holy Maiden of Tianzhu!
She had a mission. To get stronger, she had to return to Tianzhu, retrieve her remaining memories, and obtain the heritage that the Holy Maiden of Tianzhu should have.
Ren Feifan was taken aback, he didn’t expect the Demon Queen to leave.
"Why do you want to leave, isn’t it comfortable living here?"
The Demon Queen shook her head and said: "Master, it’s not like that, I have things to do."
"Did you recover some more memories?" Ren Feifan suddenly thought of something.
Seeing the Demon Queen nod, Ren Feifan finally understood. The Demon Queen disappeared once because she remembered something, and now she wanted to leave again, obviously a new memory had emerged.
Ren Feifan possessed the Gazing Energy Technique, he could see the fate of ordinary people, but no matter what, he could not see through the Demon Queen, no fate, nothing at all.
It was as though the Demon Queen was a mysteriously enigmatic entity.
"Do you really have to leave?" Ren Feifan sighed deeply.
"I know why you want to leave, you’re afraid of causing me trouble, right? Actually, you don’t need to think that. If you truly consider me your master, leave after half a month."
"Alright." This time, the Demon Queen did not refuse.
Ren Feifan took an ancient book and a pill from the space.
The ancient book was called "Profound Heart Technique". It was part of the heritage he had received, a cultivation technique for women. He didn’t pay much attention to it, but now that the Demon Queen had come to this place, he wanted to give her the "Profound Heart Technique".
The pill was the Celestial Mystery Pill he had refined the day before. He had planned to take it himself, but now he thought of giving it to the Demon Queen. While he didn’t know where she was going, it was undoubtedly fraught with danger.
Ren Feifan didn’t want to protect the Demon Queen for life. He was full aware of her stubborn character. Allowing her to gain more experience might be a good thing.
As for the Celestial Mystery Pill, he had already refined one before and had enough herbs. He could always refine another one.
Even though the Demon Queen was naive to the ways of the world, she could recognize the value of items in front of her. She refused Ren Feifan’s offering.
"Master, I don’t need it."
Ren Feifan directly grabbed the Demon Queen’s hand, opened it, and placed the items her palm: "If you don’t want these, then don’t call me your master anymore! I hope you can become stronger, so you can help me."
The Demon Queen clutched tightly to the ancient book and the elixir in her palm, overwhelmed with emotions. In the end, she looked at Ren Feifan with gratitude and nodded firmly.
After giving the Demon Queen some cultivation instructions, he left her alone to practice. The path of cultivation requires one’s own exploration. If he gave her everything, it would only harm her instead.
Leaving the hotel, Ren Feifan realized he hadn’t shown up at the company for several days already. After all, he was Xu Shihan’s bodyguard and had to protect her.
But upon arriving at the office building, Ren Feifan was taken aback.
The tempered glass door of the Elime building was completely broken, paint was splashed inside and out, and a few security guards he knew were lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
Although Ren Feifan was not one who held a strong sense of collective honor, he was an employee of Elime after all. Seeing the company damaged in such a way made him livid!
Besides, this was his wife’s company. Even though she was his contractual wife, she was still his wife!
