19. Night Visit

A few days passed.

In Great Eagle City, Chen Xuan had just returned to his room when the door was gently pushed open. A graceful figure entered, stepping quietly in the moonlight—it was Jiang Xue.

She had clearly taken extra care in dressing tonight. She wore a green dress over a purple shirt, and her long, silky hair cascaded down to her waist. Her delicate features were enhanced by her fair complexion, and there was a slight blush on her face. In the moonlight, she looked especially beautiful and enchanting.

After entering the room, she locked the door behind her.

"Jiang Xue, why are you here so late instead of sleeping?" Chen Xuan noticed her arrival the moment she entered.

"Senior, I…" Jiang Xue hesitated, her face flushed under the lamplight, as if burning with heat.

[Ding! Jiang Xue feels shy + embarrassed + conflicted, emotion points +150]

Shy? Embarrassed? Conflicted?

Does she need something from me?

Chen Xuan asked directly, "If you have something to say, just speak."

Jiang Xue's body trembled slightly at his words, her fingers tightly entwining with one another, reflecting her inner struggle.

"If it weren't for you, we might have been killed by the Crocodile Leopard King in the Misty Forest. If it weren't for you, our Eagle Martial Hall would be facing dissolution. If it weren't for you…"

Jiang Xue bit her lip as mist filled her eyes, her voice soft and tinged with sorrow. Meanwhile, a faint fragrance emanated from her body, spreading slowly through the room.

"Senior, I know this may be asking too much, but for the future of the Dojo, I have no other choice."

As she spoke, Jiang Xue took a deep breath, seemingly making a difficult decision. In an instant, her green dress and purple shirt slipped to the floor, revealing a perfect, delicate figure in front of Chen Xuan.

Faced with such a sight, few men would be able to resist. Chen Xuan couldn't deny that it was indeed quite alluring. Her fair skin, tall, curvaceous figure, and slender waist—who could say no?

"Aren't you afraid that I won't acknowledge this afterward?" Chen Xuan asked, his eyes locking onto her face, noticing her trembling eyelashes and the tears silently streaming down her cheeks.

"Even if you don't, I'll accept it," Jiang Xue's voice was filled with helplessness.

"Don't worry, I'm not the type to just take advantage and then walk away," Chen Xuan said, getting up and gently pulling Jiang Xue into his arms, guiding her to sit beside him. Her face flushed with red as she asked in a barely audible voice, "Really?"

Chen Xuan nodded, "My word is my bond."

Moments later, a delicate fragrance filled the air, and before Chen Xuan could react, she…

What happens next is left to your imagination—use your creativity to fill in the gaps.

The system kept registering emotion points intermittently for quite some time, until eventually… the two fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, when Chen Xuan woke up, Jiang Xue was no longer beside him.

However, there was a set of clean clothes placed neatly on a chair by the bed—clearly left by her while he was still asleep. As for his old clothes, they had likely been taken for washing.

Chen Xuan smiled and checked the system for emotion points. He found that last night, he had accumulated over a thousand points from Jiang Xue alone.

Another thousand had come from Ling Qingzhu—filled with emotions of regret and guilt.

But what's the point of regret now? What's done is done, and time can't be reversed.

However, Ling Qingzhu still provided him with some emotion points, so she had some value left—nothing more.

Just then, the door opened, and Jiang Xue entered with a basin of water. Her face flushed a faint red, and her eyes didn't dare meet Chen Xuan's as she placed the basin on the table, wet a towel, wrung it out, and handed it to him—acting like an obedient wife.

Chen Xuan took the towel, washed his face, and handed it back before asking, "Why did you get up so early?"

"I… it seems like this is all I can do for now," Jiang Xue responded, her face growing even redder as she accepted the towel.

Who would believe that the esteemed senior sister of Eagle Martial Dojo would serve a man she had only recently met like this?

Chen Xuan walked over and took her hand, their eyes meeting. "Don't worry," he said seriously, "with me here, Eagle Martial Dojo will soon become the number one martial hall in the Great Yan Empire."

With his strength, he could do more than just make Eagle Martial Dojo the best—he could even change the entire empire if he wanted to.

"I'll be content if we just become the top martial hall in Great Eagle City," Jiang Xue replied, a smile spreading across her face like a blooming peony—beautiful and radiant.

Chen Xuan tilted her chin with one hand, saying meaningfully, "So, you're satisfied with just that?"

"What… what are you planning?" Jiang Xue asked, her face flushing with embarrassment.

"Guess."

"Huh?"

"Oh…"

Jiang Xue was confused. "What do you mean?"

Chen Xuan grinned. This joke was something common in his past life but far too advanced for the world of WDQK.

Leaning in close, Chen Xuan whispered his answer. Upon hearing it, Jiang Xue's face turned a deep red, as if it might start dripping with water.

[Ding! Jiang Xue feels shy, emotion points +100]

Hurriedly, Jiang Xue said, "It's time for breakfast! We should go eat."

"Breakfast?" Chen Xuan teased, lifting her chin again. "Haven't you heard of a saying?"

"Huh? What saying?"

"Beauty is a feast for the eyes!"

"Ah?! It sounds like someone's calling me. I should go!" Jiang Xue's heart raced, and she quickly made up an excuse to leave.

But before she could escape, Chen Xuan pulled her back into his arms.

Looking at Jiang Xue, now flustered and unsure of what to do, Chen Xuan smiled. "After such intense training last night, you should take a proper rest."

"I…"

Before she could finish, Chen Xuan's lips sealed hers…
