The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

Chen Xuan squatted silently beside Xu Wan, and he didn't know how long it had been.

As the night deepened, moonlight filtered through the window lattice, scattering mottled light on Xu Wan's trembling shoulders, reflecting her inner turmoil at the moment.

Xu Wan's emotions were like surging waves, difficult to calm down, and her sobs were particularly clear in the silent night sky.

Chen Xuan's eyes were filled with worry and heartache.

He knew very well that Xu Wan had experienced too much during this period of time. Whether it was the bottleneck in her cultivation or the obsession in her heart, they were like a huge rock pressing on her heart.

He slowly stood up and walked towards the desk with heavy steps.

There was a plate of spiritual fruits on the table, emitting a faint fragrance. He had prepared it specially for Xu Wan, hoping it could help her relieve her anxiety and fatigue.

He picked up a spiritual fruit and looked again at Xu Wan who was kneeling on the ground with her head buried deep between her legs.

The thin body looked particularly frail under the moonlight, and Chen Xuan's heart couldn't help but tighten.

He walked over quickly and called softly, "Xiao Wan, eat this spiritual fruit and go rest.

It’s getting late, and if I continue like this, my body won’t be able to take it.”

When Xu Wan heard Chen Xuan's voice, she slowly raised her head.

Her hair was scattered messily on her shoulders, her face was haggard and tired, and there were still crystal tears in her eyes.

Chen Xuan felt even more sorry when he saw her like this.

He reached out and gently helped Xu Wan up, saying softly, "Xiao Wan, go to bed.

Get some sleep, and everything will be fine tomorrow."

Xu Wan took Chen Xuan's hand and slowly stood up.

She took the brilliant spiritual fruit that Chen Xuan personally handed to her and couldn't wait to gobble it up. The spiritual power of the spiritual fruit instantly flowed through her body, making her feel much more comfortable.

Her voice was choked with sobs as she whispered, "Godfather... I'm so glad I have you."

These words flowed into Chen Xuan's heart like a warm current, making him feel extremely relieved and satisfied.

He knew that no matter what difficulties Xu Wan encountered, he would be her strongest support.

Chen Xuan leaned over and touched Xu Wan's head, his eyes full of love and doting.

He said softly, “Silly child, go back to your bedroom and take a medicinal bath to recuperate.

Your body has been put through too much, it can’t go on like this.”

Xu Wan nodded, with a hint of determination in her voice: "Okay, godfather, you should rest too."

After saying that, she turned and walked out of the tea room. Although her steps were still a little unsteady, they were much steadier than before.

However, the moment Xu Wan turned around, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The smile looked particularly strange under the moonlight, as if it was hiding some unspeakable secret.

She was secretly proud in her heart: "Haha, I didn't expect that you, godfather, were also fooled by me."

It turned out that all of this was carefully planned by Xu Wan.

She knew that Chen Xuan's concern and love for her was a weakness that she could exploit.

So, she deliberately showed her vulnerability and helplessness in front of Chen Xuan in order to win his sympathy and pity.

And all this was to achieve the goal in her heart.

Xu Wan walked through the corridor and came to her bedroom.

Her bedroom was a small room, but it was decorated very warmly.

The bamboo bed was covered with a soft brocade quilt, and the jade pillow exuded a faint fragrance.

These did not exist originally, but Master asked my adoptive father to send someone to get them done.

Xu Wan looked at the brocade quilt and jade pillow on the bed, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

Xu Wan slowly sat down on the bamboo bed covered with a brocade quilt, feeling the softness and comfort.

She gently stroked the texture of the quilt, as if savoring Yun Che's love and care for her.

She sighed, "It's so comfortable."

However, Xu Wan's heart did not calm down because of this.

She knew that although she had successfully deceived her adoptive father, the obsession in her heart had not dissipated.

Xu Wan slowly stood up and walked to the dressing table with heavy steps.

Her eyes fell on herself in the mirror and she was instantly frightened by her haggard appearance.

The reflection in the mirror showed her messy hair, which looked like a dead vine blown by the wind in the middle of the night, lifeless.

And those swollen eyes, like two ripe red peaches, reveal endless sadness and fatigue.

She couldn't help but reach out her hand and gently touch herself in the mirror, as if wanting to confirm whether all this was real.

She tried to calm herself down and opened the exquisite box containing the mahogany comb.

The moment the box was opened, a dazzling light emanated from it, illuminating the entire room.

Xu Wan looked closely and found that it was a night pearl emitting soft light. It lay quietly in the box, like the brightest star in the night sky.

Xu Wan was filled with doubts and muttered to herself, "Could it be that while I was in the secret room, my adoptive father secretly came here and placed the night pearl here?"

Her thoughts were like a tangled mess, difficult to sort out for a moment.

Suddenly, a warm embrace hugged her tightly from behind, and the familiar breath surrounded her instantly.

She didn't need to look back to know that it was her everlasting master.

Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

She looked at Yun Che's reflection in the mirror and whispered, "Master, why are you here?"

There was a hint of surprise and a hint of disbelief in his voice.

Yun Che smiled faintly and asked, "Why, I can't come?"

There was a hint of teasing and a hint of doting in his tone.

Xu Wan pursed her lips and said a little aggrievedly, "Didn't you say you were looking for Shuangyue?"

There was a flicker of disappointment in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Yun Che hugged Xu Wan even tighter and said gently, "Why would I look for her in the middle of the night? I only look for you to warm your bed."

His voice was low and magnetic, making Xu Wan's heart beat faster.

Xu Wan shuddered upon hearing this and said worriedly, "Master, aren't you afraid that our foster father will suddenly come and see us like this?!"

There was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

Yun Che gently smoothed her hair and said comfortingly, "Brother Chenxuan won't be coming here tonight. Go take a bath. I'll wait for you here."

His eyes were full of determination and tenderness, as if they could dispel all the uneasiness in Xu Wan's heart.

Xu Wan slowly stood up from her chair.

She turned to look at Yun Che, who was leaning against the dressing table, and said softly, "Then Master, just sit here and wait for me."

After saying that, Xu Wan slowly walked towards an antique wooden door in the bedroom and gently pushed it open.

Behind the door was a bathing pool shrouded in mist and looking like a dream.

In the bathing pool, emerald green herbs and gorgeous flower petals are intertwined, swaying gently with the waves of the water, emitting bursts of refreshing fragrance.

Xu Wan gently took off her outer robe and hung it on the rack beside her.

Then she jumped and landed gracefully in the pool like a light swallow.

The pool water instantly surrounded her, bringing a hint of coolness and comfort.

She leaned her head against the stone wall beside the bathing pool, slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and absorbed the pure spiritual energy contained in the spiritual herbs and flowers in the pool.

At this moment, she seemed to become one with the world, and all her fatigue and worries disappeared.

After taking the medicinal bath, Xu Wan walked lightly into the bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, illuminated by the soft and bright light of the night pearl, everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.

Yun Che was sitting in front of the dressing table, carefully combing his long, smooth, black hair.

His upright sitting posture, illuminated by the night pearl, looked even more graceful and otherworldly.

Xu Wan quietly looked at Yun Che's back, an inexplicable emotion welling up in her heart.

She walked lightly to Yun Che's side and called softly, "Master."

Yun Che turned around upon hearing the voice, his gaze landing on Xu Wan.

Xu Wan was wearing a blue long dress with an exquisite bow cleverly tied around her waist.

It makes her figure look more graceful, fresh and refined, adding a touch of softness to the overall look.

The two light pink ribbons swayed gently with her light steps, making her look more graceful and lively.

He smiled slightly and said, "Why are you wearing so much clothes when you sleep?"

Hearing this, Xu Wan smiled playfully and replied, "I like wearing it like this, it looks good.

I don't like wearing white pajamas. I always feel like they look like mourning clothes and are unlucky."

Hearing this, Yun Che smiled faintly and said, "Oh, I see.

Then I like to wear white robes. It seems that our preferences are quite different."

Xu Wan smiled and said, "If Master likes to wear white, then wear it. You look so ethereal in white, and I like it very much."
