The fairy always tries to corrupt my Dao heart.

Chapter 42 A Hand-Wrapped 'Little Steamed Bun'

The top floor of Mingyue Tower.

Li Qing'an sat by the window, watching the demonic beasts that occasionally swept across the sky, knowing that these were the mounts of external forces.

However, no one dismounted from the monster.

Clearly, external forces are conducting advance surveys or monitoring of the projects of certain restaurants and auction houses.

"You really won't go to see Liu Bixue anymore because of what that girl said?"

Huang Yunzhao spoke softly, "I must remind you that once you advance to the Soul Forging Realm in body refining, I will go into slumber to prevent powerful figures outside from discovering anything about you."

"I believe you," Li Qingan smiled. "Because she really guessed everything correctly."

Moreover, the fact that Liu Bixue is still alive after knowing about the Tianyuan Mirror clearly indicates that she has received help from a powerful figure.

"Even if you find her in this situation, you can't directly perform a soul search, can you?"

Huang Yunzhao snorted: "You trust her that much?"

"Then why don't you use the Great Dao of Time to make a prediction?"

"You know perfectly well that I can't exert my full strength right now..."

"So we can just wait in Luoxia City." Li Qingan smiled. "Otherwise, if we miss it, we'll be the ones who lose out."

Li Qingan then changed the subject: "Speaking of which, you've been much quieter these past two days. Is it because you sensed danger?"

"North of Chang Geng Pass, a gathering of heroes."

Huang Yunzhao's reply was simple, but Li Qing'an could understand it.

They're all immortals!

Li Qingan smiled helplessly: "A declining Chang Geng Realm is truly full of hidden talents."

After a pause, he suddenly asked, "Master, if you recover to your peak condition, can you directly help me?"

After saying that, he shook his head again before Huang Yunzhao could answer: "No, no, then I won't be able to escape your grasp."

"Would I, your teacher, devour you completely, leaving not even a crumb?"

"Who knows?"

As Li Qingan stepped out of the window, he looked towards the doorway.

Shen Qingyu walked in with light steps: "I've finished eating. Oh, you haven't started working yet? Don't you want to earn spirit crystals?"

"earn!"

As Li Qingan spoke, he looked at Shen Qingyu's attire—a bright yellow herringbone skirt.

The cherub skirt is similar to a strapless dress.

However, it doesn't quite fit girls with small breasts, so all that can be seen is the patch of fair skin under Shen Qingyu's delicate collarbone.

Li Qingan quickly looked away; if he was going to look, it wasn't at this time, when Shen Qingyu thought he liked Su Lingyin.

Best friends can turn against each other, but they shouldn't become enemies.

Otherwise, why would you want them all?
Li Qingan walked to the table. Shen Qingyu pursed her cherry lips and quickly glanced down at herself... She seemed to have dressed in the wrong clothes.

She originally thought that by gaining favor and possessing appropriate physical charm, she could definitely make Li Qingan take a second look at her.

But it seems I've overlooked my own 'weakness'.

I am indeed not as big as Lingyin in terms of bust size, so how can I use my weakness to attack her strength?

But changing clothes now isn't appropriate... It would make me feel like I'm deliberately trying to seduce him.

With a sigh in her heart, Shen Qingyu returned to her workstation and absentmindedly fiddled with the Void Stone.

After a while, Li Qingan slowly strolled over to her side, resting one hand on the table: "Do you think there's any way to add background music to the Void Shadow Stone? That would definitely make it sell even better."

Shen Qingyu looked up at him and said, "Let me think..."

"Ah."

Li Qingan nodded, but did not leave immediately, because he had discovered a 'treasure'.

Shen Qingyu was wearing a tulip-yellow herbal dress, the color of which was as bright as a late spring dream.

The fabric rubbed against the softest contours of her body, outlining undulating curves and the shadows of her snow-white, supple skin. With each breath Shen Qingyu took, a subtle tension could be felt.

Li Qingan's gaze was both subconscious and intentional; who doesn't like to look at beautiful scenery?
The 'treasure' that is now revealed is like lace lingerie under an open trench coat—a surprise and a delight.

Seeing skin makes one think of fair skin, and seeing fair skin makes one think of shadows... Then, Li Qingan began to wonder about the color of Shen Qingyu's undergarment.

He took a small step back, his furtive glance filled with a strange mix of tension and pleasure.

Shen Qingyu's skin isn't particularly fair, but that's relative.

She is by no means ordinary.

Although it's not quite as good as Su Lingyin's sweet pomelo as it is like a honeydew melon, even as a peach, it's a relatively large peach.

As Shen Qingyu leaned against the table or bent over slightly, her fair skin, like flowing water, was clearly visible. Her breathing provided Li Qing'an with a direct visual experience while also leaving room for imagination.

Feeling that peeking wasn't enough, Li Qing crossed her arms in a pretentious manner, just as she was about to look at him without restraint, when Shen Qingyu suddenly looked up.

"There is a way, but..."

Her voice paused as she noticed Li Qingan subtly shifting his gaze away.

!!! surprise!

These were Shen Qingyu's thoughts at that moment.

He actually likes small breasts?

"But what?" Li Qingan asked with a smile.

Feeling much better, Shen Qingyu pursed her lips and said, "But where can I find someone to play the music? I can't play..."

Li Qingan thought for a moment: "Find a courtesan?"

"You want to go to a brothel, don't you!" Shen Qingyu glared at him immediately: "No way."

“But they are indeed skilled, aren’t they?” Li Qingan smiled. “Making money doesn’t matter who you hire, it’s not like you’re asking them to sell themselves.”

Shen Qingyu glared at him: "I'll think about it... Oh, right!"

"Ok?"

Shen Qingyu's eyes darted around: "You definitely like looking at Yinyin's chest, right?"

"What does this have to do with what we're talking about?"

"I'm teaching you!" Shen Qingyu snorted. "You like watching now, but next time you see Yinyin, you can have more intimate physical contact. Maybe she'll treat you even better then."

Shen Qingyu looked at Li Qingan with a serious expression, thinking to herself, 'Yinyin, Yinyin, look how good I am to you, unlike you, who is still wary of me!'
I'm serious about helping him pursue you; whether it works out or not is none of my business.

"Physical contact?" Li Qingan looked at her with interest. "Like what? Holding hands?"

“You’ve already done that!” Shen Qingyu glared at him. “You can be even more intimate, like, like… certain private parts.”

"Oh dear, haven't you ever done anything daring with a girl?"

“The boldest thing…” Li Qingan deliberately looked out the window and said thoughtfully, “Standing next to a girl and trying to sneak a peek at the color of her undergarment…would that count?”

Shen Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was referring to the time he had been secretly glancing at her earlier!

She immediately stood up: "You were peeping at me!"

Li Qingan raised an eyebrow: "Why are you accusing me of spying on you? Your reaction is so strong, you wouldn't be doing this on purpose..."

He deliberately prolonged the tone, and Shen Qingyu's fair and delicate skin, which was as smooth as jade and seemed to be made of frost and snow, gradually turned a faint blush.

"I……"

Shen Qingyu opened her mouth, wondering how this person could be so smart as a girl other than Yin Yin.

Because I like Yinyin, I'm being very careful?
Because you don't like me, you dare to joke around?

Shen Qingyu bit her lower lip lightly, wondering why she was thinking about such useless things.

I was originally a later arrival...

Li Qingan wouldn't have joked with me like this before, but now he dares to. Doesn't that mean our relationship has gotten much closer?
Thinking of this, Shen Qingyu glared at Li Qingan: "You bad thing who dares to do it but doesn't dare to admit it."

Li Qingan spread his hands: "I really wasn't talking about you..."

I was looking at a large cup of wine, not steamed buns... uh.

"See, see, you've been exposed!"

Shen Qingyu put her hands on her hips triumphantly: "You naughty thing, you still won't admit it!"

Li Qingan chuckled: "So you admit you're a xiaolongbao?"

"No!" Shen Qingyu stomped her foot in embarrassment and annoyance. "No, it's not that small, it's not!"

As he spoke, he made a move to punch him.

While dodging, Li Qing'an said, "So, it's time to have a big drink?"

"You're mocking me again!"

Shen Qingyu kicked him, and Li Qingan guided her to lean against the table: "Look at you, you're in such a hurry."

Then I'll call you 'Little' Foodie.

"You're still mocking me!"

Shen Qingyu lunged forward menacingly, a sly glint in her eyes as she watched him get closer and closer to the stool.

As Li Qingan stepped back, he bumped into a chair.

As he 'subconsciously' sat down, he 'subconsciously' reached out to try and stop her hands.

The next second—

"Um……"

Shen Qingyu's lunging motion faltered.

Subconsciously looking down, he saw that the bright yellow Terminalia chebula was wrinkled, and Li Qing'an's large hand had wrapped it up perfectly.

Li Qingan looked 'astonished', while Shen Qingyu stared at him with flushed cheeks, her peach blossom eyes shimmering with a gentle light.

Those eyes were like hooks dipped in honey, both sweet and itchy. Li Qing'an felt as if a gentle tickle was being applied to the tip of his heart, captivating his soul invisibly.

No wonder they say that even dogs look at you with deep affection when you have peach blossom eyes.

Their eyes met, their breaths seemed to quicken, and sunlight streamed into the room through the window, creating an ambiguous conversation between the interplay of light and shadow.
