The Flattery of the Boss of Wanyao Zhai

The petite medical fairy gazed at Lu Yunxiao, who held her tightly, her eyes narrowing slightly, a dangerous glint flashing within them.

"Do you feel comfortable holding me?" The little medical fairy raised her head, slightly curling the corners of her mouth, and asked softly.

"Yes, I'm quite comfortable," Lu Yunxiao replied calmly, pretending not to notice the dangerous look in her eyes.

"Have you had enough of hugging me?" she continued.

"No, I can never hold you enough in this lifetime," Lu Yunxiao murmured.

"Hehe, that's good."

The little medical fairy chuckled and stomped her right foot, landing a direct hit on Lu Yunxiao's left toe.

The excruciating pain contorted Lu Yunxiao's face, and he couldn't help but let out a low cry.

But this was just the beginning. Without pause, the little medical fairy's delicate pink fist rained blows upon Lu Yunxiao's chest.

"Consider this payback for your sneak attack and mockery," she muttered under her breath as her fists flew.

Lu Yunxiao didn't resist; he simply held her waist and allowed her to vent her frustration.

In reality, he sensed that the little medical fairy's actions were driven not solely by anger but also by a hint of vulnerability. It was as though his words and actions had touched her heart, and this was her way of concealing it—her defense mechanism.

This only reinforced his belief that she cared about him, so he smiled and watched her.

Furthermore, the little medical fairy's blows were surprisingly gentle, causing him no real harm.

Lu Yunxiao smiled and used a bit of force to pull the little medical fairy back into his embrace.

This time, the little medical fairy's resistance was feeble. She gazed at Lu Yunxiao blankly, momentarily flustered.

"What are you planning?" she stammered, her voice trembling slightly, as he held her close.

"I'm not planning anything," Lu Yunxiao replied softly, gazing at the little medical fairy tenderly. "You accused me of attacking you, and I admit it. But saying that I was making fun of you? No, I'm sincere."

"But I'm just a poison master, someone with the taint of poison on my hands. No one would want to marry a poison master," the little medical fairy tilted her head, her expression clouded with confusion.

"But I do. I like you, poison master or not. To me, you're unique," Lu Yunxiao said, gently raising her chin with his right hand, his smile warm.

"Yunxiao," the little medical fairy murmured softly, her eyes becoming misty. Lu Yunxiao's words had struck a chord, warming her heart and touching her deeply.

"Little Medical Fairy, do you like me?" Lu Yunxiao lowered his head slightly, the two of them locked in an intimate gaze, their breaths mingling audibly.

The little medical fairy had never been this close to a man before. Her heart pounded vigorously. Lu Yunxiao's advances were relentless. How could an inexperienced girl like her withstand it?

"I... I..." The little medical fairy's eyes darted, and her words faltered. Did she like him? Of course, she did. Who wouldn't like someone as exceptional as Lu Yunxiao?

But it wasn't that easy for her to admit it. She was a young woman; she couldn't confess her feelings for a man so easily. Besides, her love for Lu Yunxiao hadn't fully blossomed yet. Their time together had been short, and accepting someone into her heart required time.

She wasn't like Yun Yun, who had shared intimate moments with Lu Yunxiao, so the pace couldn't be rushed.

However, even if she denied it, she couldn't deny the truth in her heart. So, she hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say.

"Why aren't you answering? Do you like me or not?" Lu Yunxiao moved closer, a mere finger's breadth separating their lips. He spoke passionately, his words striking the little medical fairy's face, causing her delicate frame to tremble, and her cheeks flushed.

"I... I..." The little medical fairy began to respond, but at that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Little Medical Fairy, are you in there?"

"Yun... Yunxiao, someone's at the door," she exclaimed, sounding relieved. She looked at Lu Yunxiao with pleading eyes.

Seeing the little medical fairy's expression, Lu Yunxiao's heart softened. He sighed and released her.

The little medical fairy quickly retreated a few steps, her chest heaving rapidly as she struggled to calm herself. Then, she spoke softly, "Come in."

The door creaked open, revealing a middle-aged man.

"This must be Mr. Lu. I apologize for the intrusion," the middle-aged man said, casting a flattering smile at Lu Yunxiao. He seemed eager to please.

"Why did you barge in without permission?" Lu Yunxiao glanced at the middle-aged man with a sideways glance, his tone far from cordial. He had finally found an opportunity to make further advances with the little medical fairy, and this interruption frustrated him.

The middle-aged man hesitated, visibly taken aback by Lu Yunxiao's blunt response. This was beyond his expectations.

"Why..." The middle-aged man faltered. Lu Yunxiao's brusque attitude left him feeling embarrassed. This wasn't how he was used to being treated in Qingshan Town. No one had ever dared to address him like this.

"Huh?" Lu Yunxiao's keen senses picked up on the shift in the middle-aged man's attitude. Though subtle, the change was noticeable.

Instantly, Lu Yunxiao's eyes sharpened, and an aura of danger enveloped the middle-aged man. Fear etched across the middle-aged man's face, and a chilling sense of impending doom gripped his heart.

This was no ordinary martial artist's aura. It was sharp, hair-raising, and carried a palpable sense of impending death.

Terrified, the middle-aged man's anger dissipated entirely, replaced by a more ingratiating smile.

As a shrewd businessman, he excelled at reading people's emotions and adapting to the situation. Lu Yunxiao's overwhelming strength was something he couldn't afford to provoke. When you can't confront someone head-on, the best strategy is to flatter them.

He couldn't afford to create more trouble, especially in the presence of someone as formidable as Lu Yunxiao.

"Yunxiao, this is Mr. Yao, the owner of Wanyao Zhai. He has been looking after me," the little medical fairy interjected, attempting to defuse the tense atmosphere.

Although she hadn't known Lu Yunxiao for long, she had a sense of his character. She understood that he probably didn't regard Mr. Yao as significant.

While she had her reservations about Mr. Yao, he had genuinely cared for her during their time together, despite any ulterior motives he might have had.

Thus, she didn't mind offering a few kind words in his favor, although that was the extent of her support.
