In the fantasy world, all the people I met were beauties.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the house through the window, Li Zimo slowly woke up.

He looked around and found that Hua Jinxuan was no longer on the bed. He couldn't help feeling a sense of inexplicable loss in his heart.

But soon, the sweet memories of last night came flooding back, warming his heart.

He knew that although they were just a fake couple, last night's experience had deepened the feelings between them.

He got up and dressed, thinking to himself that maybe one day in the future they would really become a real couple.

With this expectation, he pushed open the door, walked out of the room and came to the courtyard.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Li Zimo heard crackling sounds coming from the kitchen. It was the sound of pots and pans colliding, and also the breath of life.

His eyes lit up and he turned and walked towards the kitchen.

The door was not closed, and he saw from a distance the figure of a woman busy at the stove. It was Hua Jinxuan.

She was wearing a simple dress, her hair was casually tied up, with a faint smile on her face, and she was concentrating on cooking breakfast.

Li Zimo stood quietly at the door, watching this scene, his heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.

Li Zimo originally thought that Hua Jinxuan had left, but he didn't expect that Hua Jinxuan was preparing breakfast for him. A warm feeling surged in his heart.

He walked into the kitchen, gently hugged Hua Jinxuan from behind, and said softly, "Sister Fei'er, I thought you had left."

Hua Jinxuan smiled and glanced back at him, then continued with her work:

"Brother Zimo, the situation is tense right now. I can't leave the city for the time being. I'll make plans after the situation has passed."

After the two of them had a warm breakfast, Li Zimo went out to Yaoxiang Pavilion.

Hua Jinxuan stayed at home, silently waiting for his return.

When passing by the next yard, Li Zimo was suddenly grabbed by the pretty widow Lin Xiumei.

She asked curiously, "Zimo, when did a woman appear in your family?"

Li Zimo touched his nose and explained awkwardly:

"Oh, that's my distant cousin Ye Fei'er, who came to live with me. Now, she is my wife."

When Lin Xiumei heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she said a little embarrassedly:

"Zimo, are you sure that's your cousin? Why did her voice sound a little off to me last night? It sounded a little like a prostitute, too seductive."

Li Zimo was shocked, but he remained calm on the surface:

"Sister Xiumei, you misunderstood. There's a family living next door to hers, and the young sister-in-law there has a more seductive voice. Maybe Sister Fei'er overheard it at night and started to imitate it. She probably thought I would like it more that way."

After hearing this, Lin Xiumei showed a hint of shyness on her face:

"So that's how it is. I thought... If that's the case, I'm relieved. Zimo, you have to treat her well."

But I was thinking in my heart, could it be that Li Zimo is making some veiled accusations?

Her husband had been gone for several years, but she had never expected that he had heard it at that time, and still remembered it until now, and even said it to her face. It was really embarrassing.

Li Zimo smiled and nodded: "Of course, Sister Xiumei, don't worry."

After saying that, he said goodbye to Lin Xiumei and continued walking towards Yaoxiang Pavilion.

At this time, in the official residence of the Shenwu Guard, Ying'er came to an office and knocked gently on the door.

Soon, Leng Ruyan's cold voice came from inside: "Come in."

Ying'er pushed the door open and walked in. She saw Leng Ruyan sitting behind the table, with two young women, Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu, standing beside her.

Ying'er bowed respectfully and said, "Sir."

Leng Ruyan nodded and asked, "Was Li Zimo acting strangely yesterday?"

Ying'er replied, "Your Excellency, there was nothing unusual about Li Zimo yesterday. He left and went to the Martial Arts Academy to take the test, but his talent was only at the lower yellow level, so he failed. Then, on his way back, he unexpectedly got a job as an alchemy apprentice at the Yaoxiang Pavilion. He didn't return home until the evening, and he hasn't left since."

Leng Ruyan frowned slightly when she heard this, and then asked, "Who is in his family?"

Ying'er replied, "Only one wife."

Leng Ruyan continued to ask, "Is there anything suspicious about his wife?"

Ying'er shook her head: "No, their married life seems very normal and harmonious."

At this time, Xiaoyu couldn't help but interrupt: "You, you actually peeped at people having sex? Ying'er, you really have no shame."

Ying'er's cheeks immediately turned red, and she defended herself: "I, I was doing that for work, I didn't mean to look at it."

Seeing this, Leng Ruyan coughed lightly and interrupted their conversation:

"Okay, stop talking. Hua Jinxuan has been rescued, so there's no need to pay special attention to Li Zimo."

"Also, members of the Evil Shadow Sect also injured the city gate guards yesterday, and many escaped. The rest are still hiding in the city. You must pay attention to investigate and prevent them from escaping easily. You must also prevent them from committing evil in the city."

"Yes." Ying'er, Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu responded in unison.

Afterwards, Ying'er and others left the office and began to carry out Leng Ruyan's orders.

Leng Ruyan continued to sit behind the table, lost in thought.

Li Zimo also entered the Medicine Fragrance Pavilion and came to the small courtyard where Lu Xiaodie lived. He sat down at the stone table under the big tree in the corner and studied the "Compendium of Spiritual Medicines" carefully.

Time passed quietly as he turned the pages of the book, but he was completely unaware.

As he read deeper, Li Zimo gained a deep understanding of the appearance, properties, medicinal effects and growth environment of various medicinal materials.

It was not until the midday sun filled the courtyard that Lu Xiaodie walked up to Li Zimo and gently put down the lunch box, and he came back to his senses from the sea of books.

Lu Xiaodie smiled and said to Li Zimo:

"Idiot, you must be tired. Eat something first."

Her voice was gentle and caring, which made Li Zimo feel warm inside.

Li Zimo looked up at her, his eyes full of gratitude and joy.

He put down the "Encyclopedia of Spiritual Medicines" in his hand and took the food box handed to him by Lu Xiaodie.

The two of them ate and talked, and the topics ranged from the wonderful properties of medicinal herbs to what they had seen and heard in life. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

After lunch, Lu Xiaodie left with her lunch box, while Li Zimo continued to immerse himself in the world of "The Encyclopedia of Spiritual Medicines", eagerly absorbing the knowledge in the book.

When the afterglow of the setting sun filled the courtyard, giving it a layer of golden glow, Lu Xiaodie appeared on time again.

Her figure was light and elegant, and the food box in her hand exuded an enticing aroma, as if it could instantly dispel the day's fatigue.

Li Zimo raised his head and said a little embarrassedly:

"Miss Xiaodie, you don't have to bring me food. If I'm hungry, I'll go to the cafeteria by myself."

Lu Xiaodie smiled lightly and said:

"It's okay. I have to eat too. It's just a side job. And you're so focused on your book, I'm afraid you'll miss it and the food will get cold."

Li Zimo was even more moved when he heard this. He said sincerely:

"Thank you, Miss Xiaodie."

Lu Xiaodie gently opened the food box, placed the food in order, and said:

"Well, eat quickly."

Her smile was like a spring breeze, making Li Zimo feel particularly comfortable.

After dinner, Li Zimo said goodbye to Lu Xiaodie, left Yaoxiang Pavilion and walked towards home.

The moment Li Zimo opened the door of his home, his heart was filled with warmth.

Because he saw Hua Jinxuan standing in the courtyard, looking at him expectantly.

He smiled and gently closed the gate, walked to her side, gently embraced her slender waist, and whispered to her forehead:

"Sister Fei'er, I'm back."

Hua Jinxuan's face flushed slightly, with a sweet light flashing in her eyes, and she responded softly:

"Ok, I know."

Her voice is gentle and delicate, like a spring breeze blowing through the heart.

The two walked into the house together, sat around the table and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

Hua Jinxuan specially took out her treasured wine, and the two of them chatted while tasting the wine, enjoying this rare quiet time.

As they got a little tipsy, their cheeks flushed and the atmosphere became more warm.

After the meal, Hua Jinxuan shyly cleaned up the dishes and said to Li Zimo:

"Zimo, go wash up first."

There was a hint of shyness and anticipation in her voice.

Li Zimo nodded happily, looked at her with joy, then turned around to wash up.

When he came back after washing up, he saw Hua Jinxuan sitting on the bed, her face still flushed with shyness.

"Sister Fei'er, I'm done washing."

Li Zimo said softly.

Hua Jinxuan lowered her head slightly, her voice as small as a mosquito:

"Well, I'll go wash up too. You can rest first."

Li Zimo nodded, his heart full of anticipation.

He crawled into bed and waited quietly for Hua Jinxuan's arrival.

Soon, Hua Jinxuan finished washing up. She walked shyly to the bed and gently got into the quilt.

The two snuggled together, feeling each other's body temperature and heartbeat.

As time went by, Hua Jinxuan's little mouth began to hum a melodious song.

The voice was like the sound of nature, melodious and alluring, louder and more charming than last night.

Her singing is full of deep emotions that make people involuntarily intoxicated by it.

However, this beautiful singing voice made life difficult for the pretty widow Lin Xiumei next door.

Her room was only separated from Li Zimo's bedroom by a wall, and Hua Jinxuan's singing voice clearly penetrated the wall and reached her ears.

Lin Xiumei lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep all night.

She was both curious and envious. She was curious about the affection and beauty in the song, and envious that Li Zimo had such a touching partner.

However, this envy was soon replaced by helplessness and bitterness, because she knew very well that she could not have such happiness.

As the night deepened, Lin Xiumei's thoughts became more and more confused.

She tried hard to calm herself down, but she couldn't.

In the end, she could only sigh helplessly and silently endure this "sweet torture" from next door.

With the accompaniment of this song, the relationship between Li Zimo and Hua Jinxuan was sublimated again.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the window lattice and gently sprinkled into the house, Li Zimo slowly woke up from his sleep.

However, when he opened his eyes, he found that Hua Jinxuan was no longer on the bed.

An inexplicable feeling of loss suddenly surged in his heart, and he looked around hurriedly, hoping to find her trace.

However, the room was empty, with only a piece of letter lying quietly on the bedside, as if telling something.

Li Zimo had an ominous premonition in his heart. He picked up the letter and unfolded it carefully.

The letter read: "Brother Zimo, I'm leaving. Just treat this as a fleeting romance. We'll meet again someday. I love you forever, Ye Feier."

Although Li Zimo had already had a premonition in his heart, he still felt a little sad when the real separation came.

If my talent wasn't of the lower yellow grade, perhaps the result would be different.

He took a deep breath, folded the letter, and placed it under the mattress at the head of her bed.

Then, I stood silently in front of the window, looking at the familiar sky outside.

He knew that separation did not mean the end, but another form of beginning.

He believed that they would meet again if they were destined to.

And by then, he will definitely welcome the love that belongs to them as a better self.

After a long time, Li Zimo put away his thoughts and walked towards Yaoxiang Pavilion.
