Chapter 42

This woman is very mysterious; he can't figure out her identity. To find out who she is, he might have to go back to Qingmi Mountain and ask. Ye Chu expelled the emotions in his heart and, dragging his tired and injured body, walked toward Bai Xuan's residence.

Although the woman didn't use much force, that one palm strike left Ye Chu in a state where he wouldn't be able to recover without a few days of rest!

Ye Chu returned to Bai Xuan's residence very late. When he walked into the room, he saw a figure standing inside. Ye Chu was startled, thinking that a thief had entered the house. But as he moved closer, he saw clearly by the moonlight that it was Bai Xuan standing there!

Bai Xuan was wearing a loose nightgown. In the moonlight, her eyes were bright, her lips were red, and her figure was slender and graceful, making her very alluring.

"Bai Xuan, you haven't slept yet?" Ye Chu was surprised, looking at the beautiful woman in front of him. He had been extra careful when he entered, afraid of waking Bai Xuan and the others. Moreover, why was Bai Xuan in his room!

"I thought you wouldn't come back since it was so late, so I was going to close the window for you!" Bai Xuan explained, afraid that Xu Feng might have the wrong idea. Of course, Bai Xuan wouldn't reveal the true reason!

These days, Ye Chu returned to the residence every night, but today, he didn't come back. Bai Xuan thought Ye Chu had reverted to his old corrupt ways and was probably in bed with some woman, just like Pang Shao. Bai Xuan didn't want to see Ye Chu's life become as decadent as before. Now, seeing Ye Chu return, she actually felt a bit of joy!

"Since you're back, go to bed early!" Bai Xuan's cheeks were flushed with a rosy hue, making her exceptionally charming. She was about to leave when she noticed Ye Chu's pale face and the trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

This startled Bai Xuan. "What happened? Why do you look so pale, and you're even spitting blood?"

Seeing Bai Xuan's panic, Ye Chu waved his hand, not wanting her to worry. "Nothing! Just a minor injury, nothing serious! I'll be fine after a few days of rest!"

Bai Xuan stepped forward to support Ye Chu, scolding him gently. "You're not young anymore, why do you still like to compete and fight? Did you go out to help Pang Shao?"

Bai Xuan had heard about Pang Shao asking Ye Chu for help. Seeing Ye Chu like this, she assumed it was because of Pang Shao.

Ye Chu smiled but didn't answer. However, his smile, combined with his pale face, looked rather bleak.

"Pang Shao and others fighting over a servant girl, and you went to help him?" Bai Xuan glared at Ye Chu, using a towel to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. Her movements were very gentle, and her small hand occasionally touched Ye Chu's face, which was soft and smooth. Bai Xuan was very close to Ye Chu, and he could smell her fragrance.

Enjoying Bai Xuan's care, Ye Chu's gaze fell on her. What caught his attention was that through Bai Xuan's loose nightgown, he could see the outline of her nipples, indicating that she wasn't wearing anything underneath.

Bai Xuan didn't notice this and continued to scold Ye Chu. "Stay away from Pang Shao in the future; he'll corrupt you!"

If Pang Shao heard this, he would have no place to cry. Does this guy, Ye Chu, still need to be corrupted? And who is corrupting whom?

"Okay! I'll stay away from him, or I might really be corrupted!" Ye Chu saw Bai Xuan look up at him and subtly shifted his gaze, nodding seriously.

"All the medicinal herbs at home have been used up by Father. If you need anything, I'll ask Father to get some from his friends!" Bai Xuan stood up, preparing to call her father.

"Bai Xuan!" Ye Chu reached out and grabbed Bai Xuan's small hand, which was soft to the touch. "Don't disturb Uncle Bai! It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. I'll be fine after a few days of rest!"

Held by Ye Chu, Bai Xuan felt a bit shy, but seeing his clear eyes and natural movements, she didn't struggle.

"Are you really okay?" Bai Xuan asked, her eyes fixed on Ye Chu, shining brightly in the darkness.

"Really, I'm fine!" Ye Chu replied. "After a good night's sleep, I'll be as lively as ever tomorrow!"

"Alright! Then go to bed early!" Bai Xuan pressed Ye Chu down onto the bed, pulled the blanket from the head of the bed, and helped him cover up.

Bending over to cover Ye Chu, the loose neckline of her nightgown became wider, and Ye Chu could see a pair of snow-white, firm breasts swaying inside the nightgown. His heart skipped a beat, and his eyes couldn't help but linger there!

Seeing Ye Chu's reaction, Bai Xuan instantly realized she had exposed herself. She quickly pressed down on the neckline, her cheeks burning red with embarrassment!

Ye Chu naturally turned his gaze away and said casually, "Bai Xuan, don't worry about me! Go to bed early!"

Bai Xuan forgot how to respond, feeling flustered as she helped Ye Chu cover up and then fled from his room as if escaping.

Coming out of the room, her heart was still racing, and her cheeks were still flushed. Thinking about what Ye Chu had seen, Bai Xuan felt an indescribable embarrassment.

But then she thought about how Ye Chu could act as if nothing had happened, while she was flustered and at a loss. She couldn't help but laugh bitterly, thinking that this guy was really a playboy, and she was the one acting like a little girl.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Xuan tried to calm herself, glanced at the direction of Ye Chu's room, and then prepared to return to her own room.

...

Ye Chu was also not calm. Although it was just a fleeting glance, the image of Bai Xuan's snow-white, firm breasts lingered in his mind. In his mind, Bai Xuan's alluring beauty flashed.

He had to admit that Bai Xuan was too seductive for any man. No man could resist such mature allure!

...

The next morning, when Bai Bao saw Ye Chu and Bai Xuan both looking tired with dark circles under their eyes, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you two?"

"Ah..." Ye Chu and Bai Xuan exchanged a glance and then said in unison, "Nothing."

"Hmm?" Bai Bao was puzzled, looking at Ye Chu. "You don't look well. Is something wrong?"

"Oh! I got a minor injury! Nothing serious!" Ye Chu laughed, not wanting to say too much, but his gaze couldn't help but drift toward Bai Xuan.

Bai Xuan was beautiful and charming, with long, seductive lashes. Her long, tight black leather dress hugged her soft waist tightly, and the hem of the dress tightly wrapped her slender, long legs. The white glimpse of skin under the hem was captivating, and the tight dress emphasized her high, firm chest, making Ye Chu involuntarily think of the night when her breasts were completely exposed under the nightgown.

Bai Xuan, feeling the intensity of Ye Chu's gaze, turned away, feeling uncomfortable. Sometimes she really found it hard to believe that Ye Chu was just a teenager. His mature, intense gaze made her very uncomfortable.

Despite her efforts to forget the scene from last night, the memory left a mark in her heart, making her uneasy about Ye Chu's gaze.

"I'll go buy some medicinal herbs for Ye Chu!" Bai Xuan said and almost fled from the room.
