Aunt Wang had prepared a table full of dishes in the back, shaking her head and sighing with disappointment.
"Alas, Mr. Ling is young and strong, but after several hours of exertion every day, he gets tired. Miss, you must understand!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Yu Xiao's face grew even hotter.
"Aunt Wang, please don't say such things!"
"Heh heh, Miss is even shy now. Alright, alright, Aunt Wang won't say any more!"
Aunt Wang pursed her lips and smiled, then turned to leave.
Ling Feng's voice slowly came from the other end of the phone: "You left in such a hurry yesterday, I forgot to tell you that the Ice Silkworm Gu in your body is already very weak. It can be reduced to once every two days! Moreover, I estimate that it might be successful tomorrow!"
Ling Feng had already sensed the weakness of the Ice Silkworm Gu yesterday, feeling a sense of submission, which was why he hadn't sought out Hua Yu Xiao today.
In fact, Ling Feng was more anxious than Hua Yu Xiao, as the Witchcraft Convention was only three days away.
If he couldn't transfer the Ice Silkworm Gu to himself by tomorrow, he might delay his trip to Wushen Mountain!
After all, after transferring the Ice Silkworm Gu, Ling Feng still needed to learn some shamanic healing techniques from Elder Su.
This way, he could truly establish himself as a shamanic healer in the Temple of the Shamans.
"Oh, is that so? Then... are you sure tomorrow will be the last time?"
Hua Yu Xiao felt a pang of disappointment, which she inexplicably revealed to Ling Feng.
"I can't be sure, but I will do my best!"
"Alright, I'll work overtime tonight to finish tomorrow's tasks. I won't need to go to the company tomorrow, so you can come earlier."
"Okay."
Ling Feng responded and proactively hung up the phone.
Doo doo doo...
Hua Yu Xiao listened to the dial tone from the phone, feeling inexplicably stifled.
"Am I... am I really falling for him? But he... he doesn't even seem interested in looking at me. How could anything happen between us..."
Hua Yu Xiao, who had said she would work overtime, spent the entire day lost in this internal struggle.
The next day at noon, around eleven o'clock, Ling Feng arrived punctually.
Hua Yu Xiao's demeanor had calmed considerably.
"You're here. Aunt Wang made you some soup, go up and have it."
"Okay!"
Ling Feng responded, but he felt a subtle, unusual sensation.
This feeling was akin to...
A husband returning home after work, greeted by his warm and loving wife.
Although it felt strange, he also felt a warmth in his heart.
In the bathroom.
The two were once again naked, and this time, after only an hour of sleep, Hua Yu Xiao was jolted awake.
Because it was too painful!
"It will be over soon!"
Ling Feng knew Hua Yu Xiao was enduring great hardship and encouraged her in a deep voice.
"Okay! I can endure it!"
Hua Yu Xiao gritted her teeth.
But at this moment, she inexplicably felt a reluctance for the Ice Silkworm Gu to leave her so quickly.
"This... if it really can't succeed, let's do it again?" Hua Yu Xiao said, as if possessed.
"There's no time!"
Ling Feng said in a deep voice, then suddenly let out a low roar and directly embraced Hua Yu Xiao.
Hua Yu Xiao suddenly felt a wave of icy coldness wash over her, nearly freezing her solid.
She instinctively opened her small mouth, and an Ice Silkworm Gu, emitting a chilling aura and covered in crystalline down, crawled out.
It was slowly moving towards Ling Feng's slightly parted lips.
Hua Yu Xiao's eyes widened. She felt as if she was about to freeze. The Ice Silkworm Gu was crawling too slowly, too slowly...
Finally, she couldn't help but pounce.
Her delicate, dewy red lips pressed against Ling Feng's lips.
Ling Feng trembled as if struck by electricity, his eyes instantly widening.
An unprecedented sensation surged into his cerebral cortex, rendering him incapable of thought.
This was his first kiss!
He hadn't given it to Tang Ru last time, and unexpectedly, Hua Yu Xiao had taken it this time.
After the kiss.
The Ice Silkworm Gu had successfully entered Ling Feng's body!
"Pfft... How could you open your eyes!"
After a long moment, Hua Yu Xiao's playfully chiding voice suddenly rang out, and she quickly pushed Ling Feng away.
But soon, she realized that pushing Ling Feng away was the wrong decision.
When they were facing each other, Ling Feng couldn't see anything.
But now, at this distance, Ling Feng could see clearly!
However, when Hua Yu Xiao looked closely, she found that Ling Feng's eyes were still closed, as if they had never opened.
"Is it just my imagination? You didn't open your eyes?"
Ling Feng was panicked. Hearing her words, he subconsciously shook his head.
He couldn't be distracted. The true qi in his body enveloped the Ice Silkworm Gu, feeding it with his vital blood to refine the natal Gu.
During this process, Hua Yu Xiao was unusually quiet.
It took him a full half hour to successfully refine the natal Gu.
When Ling Feng slowly exhaled a breath of cold air, feeling greatly benefited internally, he suddenly noticed that Hua Yu Xiao had collapsed outside the bathroom at some point.
Ling Feng opened his eyes and saw that Hua Yu Xiao had already put on her clothes, but she had fainted on the ground, her entire body emanating an intense coldness, as if she had frozen!
"Why is this happening?"
Ling Feng's brows furrowed.
He then suddenly recalled that when Hua Yu Xiao kissed him at the end, she seemed to have used too much force, breaking off some of the crystalline down on the Ice Silkworm Gu.
Those things had infiltrated Hua Yu Xiao's body.
"This is bad, it carries pathogens! In this case, the Ice Silkworm Gu is still needed to slowly draw them out. She can't be too far from me now, or something will happen."
Ling Feng's brows were tightly knit!
There was no other way. At such a crucial moment, such a problem had arisen. Who could be blamed?
Could he blame Hua Yu Xiao for being too proactive?
For the first time using the Ice Silkworm Gu's ability, Ling Feng found it surprisingly smooth. Some of the coldness in Hua Yu Xiao's body was dispelled, and she slowly regained consciousness.
"Ugh, I... I feel so weak all over. It was so cold just now, just like when I got sick as a child."
"Did my illness not get better?"
Hua Yu Xiao asked with a confused expression, then noticed that Ling Feng wasn't dressed and quickly turned her head away.
"What's wrong? Are you still feeling unwell?"
"No, it's just... you're not dressed."
Hua Yu Xiao shyly reminded him.
Ling Feng came back to his senses, quickly put on his clothes, and then explained the situation to Hua Yu Xiao.
"So, it's all my fault for that time..."
Hua Yu Xiao blushed even more as she recalled the first kiss.
"It's alright. It will probably take about ten days to half a month for me to completely remove the cold poison from your body. However, you probably won't be able to go to work these days, because you can't be too far from me."
Hua Yu Xiao was taken aback, then said playfully, "Can't you come to the company with me? If I don't go to work for so long, there will be some problems at the company."
"Not for at least these few days. I have very important things to do, and you'll likely have to travel with me!"
Ling Feng shook his head.
"Where are you going?"
"Wushen Mountain!"
