The Rogue Villager Chen Erbao

Chen Erbao's mind was a mess. He stepped on the gas unconsciously and soon arrived at the Mingguang Hotel.

He drove straight into the parking lot. Chen Erbao led the way with Xia Qingxue following silently behind. The two of them took the elevator straight up to their hotel room.

He hadn't returned the previous night. Wenwen and Xiaoqian were sharing a room, and the jade he had brought back yesterday afternoon was also in there with them.

'Good thing I remembered to grab my longsword in the heat of my lust. Losing it would have been a disaster!'

After walking into the room, Xia Qingxue went straight into the bathroom. As the door closed behind her, Chen Erbao heaved a long sigh. He sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and took out his phone to call hotel services.

"Bring me a complete woman's outfit. I want a long, white dress."

He gave the order, and the attendant on the other end immediately complied.

Soon, the dress and matching underwear were delivered. Since Chen Erbao hadn't specified a size, the attendant had thoughtfully brought several different sets to choose from.

Chen Erbao carried the clothes to the bathroom door and pressed his ear against it, listening.

CLICK!

The bathroom door suddenly opened. Chen Erbao instinctively straightened up. He saw Xia Qingxue staring at him with her lips pressed into a thin line, and a wave of awkwardness washed over him. He held up the clothes. "I... uhm, the attendant brought these. For you to change into…"

Without a word, Xia Qingxue took the clothes and shut the door again.

Chen Erbao rubbed his nose, walked resignedly to the sofa, and continued to smoke.

'What a mess.'

He sighed again, lying back on the sofa and letting his mind wander.

Sending his Divine Sense inward, Chen Erbao was amazed to discover that he had actually reached the Mid stage of Qi Refining Fourth Layer!

'Could it be because of last night's dual cultivation?'

Xia Qingxue's power was quite impressive, only half a step away from being a true Grandmaster. That was clear from the fact that she'd been able to hold her own against the Grandmaster Gu Li for so long last night.

She was only on the defensive because she was using Silver Needles as Hidden Weapons. If she had used a longsword or a similar weapon, she might have even been able to injure Gu Li.

The Joyful Technique was very clear on this point: the higher the Realm of one's dual cultivation partner, the greater the benefit for the man.

Ideally, however, both partners should be in the same Realm so they could advance together.

Otherwise, the person in the High Realm would always lose out.

If Xia Qingxue were a bona fide Grandmaster, Chen Erbao figured their first dual cultivation session might have propelled him straight into the Late stage of Qi Refining Fourth Layer!

And if she had also practiced the Pure Maiden Divine Skill, the boost would have been even greater!

'Hua Yueqing would be a suitable partner, come to think of it…'

'She's a young Grandmaster, and she's beautiful!'

As Chen Erbao's thoughts drifted, the sound of splashing water from the bathroom reached his ears.

The bathroom was right next to the living room. Although it was obscured by frosted glass, Chen Erbao could still make out the silhouette of the person inside.

He could make out the contours of Xia Qingxue's body…

After all, he had measured every inch of her skin with his own hands last night, so he knew her figure intimately.

Xia Qingxue was, without a doubt, the most perfect woman he had ever seen. Her looks, her figure, her aura—everything about her was top-tier.

A woman like her would be the center of attention no matter where she went.

Chen Erbao even felt that A-list celebrities couldn't hold a candle to Xia Qingxue's beauty.

True beauty lies in the bone, not just the skin, and Xia Qingxue was flawlessly beautiful from every single angle.

The thought made him stir. 'Last night was such a daze, I didn't even get to properly appreciate it…'

Lost in his thoughts and bored, he picked up the remote and turned on the TV.

Some mindless, trashy drama started playing. Chen Erbao watched for a moment before losing interest and fiddling with the remote.

He wasn't sure which button he pressed, but he suddenly heard a soft WHIR.

He instinctively glanced over and almost had a nosebleed.

The frosted glass of the bathroom had instantly turned completely transparent!

Xia Qingxue's flawless, pale body was completely exposed to his gaze.

Her delicate nipples, her full breasts still bearing his fingerprints, her smooth, flat stomach, and the lush forest below…

The shocking sight made the Stabilizing Needle between his legs stand tall once more.

Xia Qingxue noticed the change in the glass as well. She froze for a second, then glared at Chen Erbao in shame and fury, her hands instinctively flying to cover her vitals as her cheeks flushed crimson.

Snapping out of it, Chen Erbao grabbed the remote in a panic. Not knowing which button to press, he frantically mashed them all until the glass finally became opaque again.

'Fucking hell!'

He cursed under his breath, feeling like he could die of embarrassment.

Even though they had already done *everything*, he felt that his image in Xia Qingxue's eyes had just plummeted into a bottomless abyss.

'There's no coming back from this!'

'Any sane person would think I'm a total creep.'

'How am I going to explain this later?'

The phone suddenly rang. "Hello."

"Mr. Chen… are you back at the hotel?"

It was Wenwen.

"I'm back. You two go ahead and eat. Something's come up this morning, so I probably won't go to the Gambling Stone Factory until this afternoon. After you eat, you can look around the hotel. Put everything on my tab."

Chen Erbao had a good impression of Wenwen. The young woman was undeniably beautiful, and she had a great personality.

Wenwen seemed to sense he was in a bad mood, and asked timidly, "Mr. Chen, do you… need me to give you a massage?"

"…"

Chen Erbao's face darkened. 'If you came over to give me a massage right now,' he thought, 'I might as well just jump out the window!'

"No, that's alright. You two have fun. I'll find you this afternoon."

"Oh!"

After hanging up, Chen Erbao lay back on the sofa, slowly closed his eyes, and began to sort through his thoughts.

Half an hour later, the bathroom door opened. Xia Qingxue had changed into a simple, long white dress. Her cold, beautiful face was unreadable as she walked calmly to the sofa and sat down.

Chen Erbao opened his eyes, and they immediately widened in appreciation.

Fresh from her shower, Xia Qingxue was even more radiant and alluring. Though her aura was still cold and distant, there was a new hint of charm at the corners of her eyes, and her gaze toward Chen Erbao held a certain complicated, indescribable emotion.

Chen Erbao cleared his throat. "I'm going to take a shower."

He had never felt so awkward around a woman in his life.

Men shower much faster. In just a few minutes, Chen Erbao had dried his hair, washed away his fatigue, and put on a fresh set of men's clothes.

The two of them sat in silence on the sofa, facing each other without a word to say.

"Last night…"

After a long moment of deliberation, Chen Erbao finally sat up straight and began to speak.

But he had barely gotten the word out when Xia Qingxue cut him off, her expression impassive.

"Last night was just an accident. You've saved my life twice. I've repaid you for one of those times. As for the other, I still owe you. You can ask for anything you want."

Her expression was placid, without the slightest ripple of emotion, as if she were discussing some trivial, everyday matter.

But to Chen Erbao, her words were indescribably grating.
