Xu Wan stood quietly at the door. It was late at night and the moonlight was like water, shining on her body and casting a long shadow.

She waited for a long time, and the expectation in her heart was gradually replaced by disappointment, but she never waited for Yun Che's arrival.

Finally, she sighed softly, turned and walked into the bedroom. The door slowly closed behind her, as if isolating her from the noise of the outside world.

The bedroom was silent, with only the night pearl emitting a soft and bright light, illuminating every corner.

Xu Wan walked to the window and gently closed it, as if this could keep the worries in her heart out as well.

Then, she walked to the bamboo bed and slowly sat down. Her eyes fell on the brocade quilt that Yun Che had folded neatly, like a block of tofu. An indescribable sense of loss surged in her heart.

"It seems that you will not come tonight, Master."

Xu Wan muttered to herself, with a barely perceptible hint of sadness in her voice.

She took off her boots, placed them neatly beside the bed, and then lay down under the covers.

The quilt seemed to still linger with Yun Che's aura, making her feel a little dazed.

She turned over and curled up, trying to use sleep to dispel the troubles in her heart.

However, every time she closed her eyes, Yun Che's figure would appear in her mind, preventing her from falling asleep.

The light of the night pearl seemed particularly dazzling in her eyes, as if mocking her wishful thinking.

Finally, Xu Wan could no longer endure this torment. She buried her head deeply in the quilt, trying to use the darkness to cover up the pain in her heart.

After an unknown amount of time, her breathing gradually became steady and deep, and finally in the quiet night, she fell into a deep sleep.

Yun Che immersed himself in the icy cold bathtub, surrounded by a faint spiritual energy and floral fragrance.

In the bathing pool, various magical herbs and pink petals floated leisurely, swaying gently with the waves of the water, as if performing a mysterious baptism for his body.

He took a deep breath, dived into the pool and swam, letting the clear water wash over every inch of his skin, trying to wash away the strong smell of medicine and the fatigue accumulated over the past few days.

After a long while, Yun Che finally jumped out of the icy water. Water droplets drew glittering arcs in the air before finally landing on the edge of the pool.

He stood steadily on the shore, and the white robe was put on him out of thin air, as if it was tailor-made for him, fitting and elegant.

He lowered his head to tie the belt, his movements calm and unhurried, every detail revealing an indescribable free and easy and noble attitude.

In a corner by the pool, there is an extremely delicate wooden box. Inside the box is peach blossom cakes carefully placed on a white plate, exuding an enticing aroma.

Yun Che leaned forward and elegantly lifted up the wooden box filled with delicious food.

He stood there with his back straight, the wind blowing his long hair and the leaves around him rustling.

It seemed as if the whole world was fascinated by him.

He took a step forward and moved to Xu Wan's bedroom, pushed open the door, and moved so gently as if he was afraid of disturbing every inch of the air here.

The door closed gently, and his eyes instantly stopped on the bamboo bed.

Xu Wan was curled up under a brocade quilt, sleeping soundly.

Yun Che gently placed the box of peach blossom cakes on the tea table, then slowly walked to the bamboo bed, took off his boots, and opened the brocade quilt.

He habitually lay flat on his back, resting his head on the cool jade pillow.

After a moment, he turned sideways and hugged Xu Wan, resting his head on her neck, feeling the familiar and warm breath.

Xu Wan seemed to sense this power. She slowly opened her eyes, turned around, and looked at Yun Che, her eyes filled with surprise and joy.

She rubbed her eyes and patted her head, as if she couldn't believe what she saw: "Master, is it really you? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Yun Che looked at her, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting: "Wanwan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Xu Wan hugged Yun Che tightly, her head buried deep in the crook of his neck, rubbing back and forth, as if this could bring her some comfort.

Her voice was trembling and pleading: "Master, can you take me away? Let's go home."

Her tone was filled with helplessness, as if at this moment, she just wanted to escape from everything in front of her and return to the place where Yun Che was, the home that belonged to them.

Yun Che gently patted Xu Wan's back. His voice was gentle and full of charm: "Wanwan, have you been wronged today?"

There was a hint of heartache in his words, as if he could see through everything in Xu Wan's heart.

However, Xu Wan chose to remain silent. She did not answer, but buried her head deeper.

Seeing this, Yun Che couldn’t help but feel a little doubtful.

He asked tentatively, "Are you angry with me? I spent the entire day reading in the library and wasn't practicing with Shuangyue."

There was a hint of self-blame in his tone, as if he was worried that he had ignored Xu Wan's feelings.

However, Xu Wan suddenly raised her head, broke free from Yun Che's embrace, and her eyes flickered with complex emotions.

Yun Che was shocked upon seeing this. He pulled Xu Wan into his arms again, hugged her tightly, and asked anxiously, "Wanwan, what's wrong with you today?

But what did Chen Xuan say to you? Tell me."

There was a hint of anxiety in his tone, as if he was worried that Xu Wan had been hurt.

Xu Wan raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion and sadness: "Master, you have the body of a golden dragon, I am not worthy of you."

Her voice was low and trembling, as if she was stating an unchangeable fact.

Upon hearing this, Yun Che couldn't help but hold his forehead and smile bitterly.

He lowered his head, looked into Xu Wan's eyes, and asked seriously, "Anything else?"

His eyes were full of determination and tenderness, as if telling Xu Wan that he would listen carefully no matter what she said.

Xu Wan's eyes were slightly red, and she said with a look of grievance, "The book says that if a cat demon falls in love with a human, it can't become an immortal."

There was a hint of despair in her voice, as if at this moment, she saw the unbridgeable gap between herself and Yun Che.

Yun Che couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

He asked in return, “Is what the book says true?

It is actually very easy to become an immortal. All you have to do is take a pill that can make you immortal.

I have this elixir.”

There was a hint of disdain and confidence in his tone, as if telling Xu Wan that becoming an immortal was not a difficult task.

However, Xu Wan shook her head, a hint of worry in her eyes: "But Master, if you stay with me, you will fall into the devil's way."

There was a hint of firmness and determination in her voice, as if telling Yun Che that she didn't want to see him fall into an irretrievable situation for her.

Yun Che couldn’t help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart when he heard this.

He held Xu Wan's hand tightly and looked into her eyes lovingly: "Wan Wan, don't worry.

No matter what happens, I will protect you. I will help you cultivate an immortal body and marry you.

Let us face the future storms together and move towards our own happiness together."

His voice was firm and gentle, as if telling Xu Wan that as long as he was there, she had nothing to fear.

Xu Wan clung tightly to Yun Che, her hands involuntarily resting on his solid chest, feeling the strong heartbeat.

Yun Che gently comforted her, a playful smile on his lips.

He whispered, "Do you remember how you bullied your teacher last night?

This honor is only available to you."
