**Chapter 7: Nalan Yanran Arrives!**

After hearing Chen Feng's request, Yun Yun was momentarily stunned. Although she was not experienced in matters of intimacy, as an adult woman, she quickly understood his implication.

A deep blush spread across her face, and she glared at Chen Feng with her beautiful eyes.

This guy really dared to bring up such a thing so bluntly.

How thick-skinned could he be?

As a woman, Yun Yun felt momentarily offended. She was about to reprimand him but stopped herself.

Yun Yun was a rational person. Looking at Chen Feng, who appeared genuinely troubled and uncomfortable, she began to wonder if she had been too harsh.

Is it really that unbearable?

Having no experience in such matters, Yun Yun couldn't fully understand. She had lived her entire life without ever considering having a man. Surely it wasn't a necessity.

For the first time, curiosity sparked in her mind about the dynamics between men and women.

Breaking the silence, Yun Yun asked hesitantly, "Is it really that painful?"

Chen Feng, though embarrassed, nodded earnestly. "It is… Can you help me—"

"Bold!"

Before he could finish, Yun Yun's face darkened, and her tone turned sharp. "Feng'er, you're becoming more and more audacious. Do you think it's appropriate to tease me like this?"

Her mind instantly flashed back to the embarrassing scene she had encountered earlier with Chen Feng. Her cheeks burned as she struggled to suppress her rising irritation.

Though part of her had been curious moments earlier, putting it into practice was another matter entirely. She couldn't fathom crossing that line.

She glared at Chen Feng. If he weren't her beloved disciple, she might have struck him down for such insolence.

The leader of the Yunlan Sect and a Douhuang-level master couldn't allow her dignity to be so casually challenged!

Seeing Yun Yun's anger, Chen Feng was taken aback. He quickly realized the misunderstanding and explained hastily: "That's not what I meant, Teacher! I wasn't trying to offend you."

"You interrupted me before I could finish."

Looking at her stern expression, Chen Feng sighed and continued, "I just wanted to ask for your help in calling Junior Sister Nalan over. I wasn't teasing you."

Yun Yun froze for a moment, her face flushing with embarrassment as realization dawned. She had misunderstood him completely.

"Next time, be more concise with your words to avoid misunderstandings," she snapped, trying to mask her discomfort.

"Yes, Teacher. I'll be clearer next time," Chen Feng replied immediately, though he inwardly grumbled, 'It was you who interrupted me, but sure, blame me.'

"Just focus on your cultivation and let me handle the rest. I'll be going now," Yun Yun said abruptly, eager to leave and escape the awkwardness of the situation.

"What about Junior Sister?" Chen Feng pressed.

"I'll speak to her, but whether she comes or not depends on her. I won't force her."

With one last glare at Chen Feng, Yun Yun hurriedly left, her composure fraying.

Outside the courtyard, Yun Yun's face was burning with embarrassment. She felt flustered and annoyed at how easily Chen Feng brought up such topics.

"This boy really doesn't understand boundaries," she muttered. "How could he expect me to help with something like this?"

For a moment, she regretted intervening in his personal matters.

Still, she couldn't ignore the stains on the portrait, the strange smell in his room, or the clear discomfort on his face. Though she didn't fully understand the situation, certain implications made her imagination run wild.

No, there's no way he's that brazen, Yun Yun thought, shaking her head.

She resolved to speak with Nalan Yanran. "But how do I even begin to explain this to her?"

After Yun Yun left, Chen Feng sat in his room, replaying the exchange in his mind. Even with his thick skin, he felt embarrassed by his earlier request.

"How did I even have the nerve to say that?" he muttered, shaking his head.

Though mortified, he couldn't help but feel grateful that Yun Yun hadn't outright refused.

"She's too good to me," he thought, his heart swelling with gratitude.

Memories of the original story resurfaced, particularly the tragic fate of Yun Yun and her ill-fated relationship with Xiao Yan.

He won't let her face such a lonely and painful future, Chen Feng vowed. He would do everything in his power to protect Yun Yun and ensure her happiness.

With this thought, he settled back into his room, waiting patiently for Nalan Yanran to arrive.

Hours passed, and the sky turned dark.

Chen Feng sighed, disappointment creeping in. "It seems she won't come tonight."

Just as he was about to give up, the door suddenly swung open, and a figure in white rushed inside.

Chen Feng's eyes lit up. "Yanran!"

It was Nalan Yanran, the person he hadn't seen for days.

He grinned widely and said, "You've finally figured it out, haven't you?"

"What did I figure out?"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Nalan Yanran looked puzzled. A worried expression appeared on her face as she asked, "Brother, the teacher told me you were injured again. How bad is it? Why are you always so careless?"

She gazed at him with genuine concern.

"Injured?"

Chen Feng froze for a moment but quickly pieced it together.

Ah, the teacher must've made up this excuse to convince Yanran to visit.

"Yanran, I am indeed injured," Chen Feng replied smoothly, quickly wrapping his arms around her slender waist.

"You haven't come to see me in so long. Do you know how much my heart hurts?" he said with a face full of mock sorrow, gazing at her with "deep affection."

"Brother, I didn't mean to stay away," Nalan Yanran murmured, her face flushing as she buried it in his chest. "But didn't Teacher forbid us from meeting too often?"

Before she could say more, Chen Feng effortlessly scooped her up in his arms, carrying her like a princess.

"Brother! What are you doing? Aren't you injured?" Nalan Yanran asked, her voice tinged with panic as he carried her toward the bed.

"I don't care. You're not leaving tonight," Chen Feng declared in a domineering tone.

At that moment, Nalan Yanran realized something. "Wait a minute… You're not injured at all, are you?"

Chen Feng smirked unapologetically. "If I hadn't said I was, would you have come?"

"Brother! You lied to the teacher and me?" Nalan Yanran pouted, her arms instinctively wrapping around his neck.

"What if Teacher finds out? She'll scold us again," she said worriedly.

"I missed you so much that I had no other choice," Chen Feng replied shamelessly.

His comforting words eventually softened her worry. "Okay, just don't do it again," she whispered, her ears red.

"I won't," Chen Feng promised, adding, "But you can't stay away from me for so long either."

Nalan Yanran hesitated, then admitted, "I missed you too, Brother."

Hearing those words and seeing her delicate features, Chen Feng couldn't hold back any longer. He carried her to the bed, and soon, the room was filled with warmth and intimacy.

As the sun rose the next morning, Nalan Yanran lay in Chen Feng's arms, looking at him with a mix of shyness and contentment.

"Yanran, have you been feeling unwell recently?" Chen Feng asked softly, stroking her hair.

His question caught her off guard. "Unwell? No, why?"

Relieved by her response, Chen Feng smiled inwardly. Good, it's too early for symptoms to show.

He knew it was only a matter of time before Nalan Yanran's pregnancy became evident. When that happened, he'd have to be extra cautious to ensure her well-being.

"Yanran, if you ever feel unwell, you must tell me immediately," he said, his tone serious.

Nalan Yanran blinked, finding his concern endearing despite the odd phrasing. "Brother, don't worry. I can take care of myself," she reassured him.

After a peaceful moment, Nalan Yanran sighed. "Brother, I have to leave now. If someone sees me here and tells Teacher, it'll be bad for both of us."

She tried to rise, but her legs wobbled the moment she stood.

"Oh no…" she muttered, her face burning as she glanced at Chen Feng. "Brother, I can't stand up. You… You went too far last night!"

Chen Feng quickly stood and helped her steady herself, gently dressing her as she leaned on him.

"This is your fault," Nalan Yanran scolded playfully, though her tone lacked real anger.

Refusing his offer to escort her, she limped toward the door.

"This girl is stubborn, but that's what makes her perfect," Chen Feng thought with a smile as he watched her leave.

Returning to his room, Chen Feng stretched and felt a renewed sense of vigor. It was the perfect time to resume his cultivation.
