This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

And so, as Li Cangyao silently recited the calming mantra while strange images appeared in his mind, the bathroom door finally opened.

A misty white fog hangs in the air, and the fragrance of jade is rich and intoxicating.

Upon seeing the beautiful woman emerging from her bath, Li Cangyao's silver pupils suddenly contracted, and his soul froze for a moment.

Instead of wearing white as usual, she changed into a loose yet form-fitting light purple floral dress.

She was stunningly beautiful after her bath, her beauty enhanced by the water's cleansing.

Three thousand green ribbons, adorned with glistening water droplets, resembled the glow of dawn, shining brightly even without the moon.

A touch of red tassel stained her flawless, snow-white skin, which was also translucent and shimmered with an alluring halo, tempting one to commit a crime.

Like a flower that can speak, like jade that exudes fragrance.

Light and slender arms and wrists, free from lingering fragrance; graceful waist, rippling like green waves.

At this moment, wrapped in pale purple brocade, she appeared unlike her usual aloof and ethereal self. Her figure was graceful and supple, and her every move subtly revealed a mysterious silhouette, causing countless men's eyes to widen and their blood to boil.

This was the first time he had ever seen Qingyi not wearing white, but instead wearing a charming purple floral dress.

Compared to her usual aloof and unapproachable demeanor, she now exudes a more approachable elegance and mature charm.

The crucial point is that she just came out of the shower...

Li Cangyao's eyes nearly exploded from looking at it.

"What are you looking at?"

Su Yu frowned, and her cold voice broke the tense atmosphere.

"Look at you, damn it..." Su Yu suppressed her instinctive disgust and her body's sensitive reaction, and mentally complained.

"Oh~~"

Li Cangyao was startled and immediately lowered his head obediently, not daring to look at him again.

Su Yu walked to the bench opposite her and paused for half a second while looking at Li Cangyao.

"Would you like to wipe your nose first?"

Li Cangyao wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

He actually had a nosebleed?!

Silently watching Li Cangyao wipe his nosebleed while pretending to be nonchalant, Su Yu had a strange expression on her face.

This guy is supposed to be a Red Destiny, how come his willpower is so weak?

If Ye Xuan or Ji Ruqing were here, they would definitely be stronger than him (this is Su Yu's own opinion).

However, he had never seen silver hair with heterochromia before.

It must be said that among all the men he had ever seen, apart from Ji Ruqing, probably no one could compare to Li Cangyao's appearance.

Ji Ruqing possessed the striking beauty of a sword immortal, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes; while Li Cangyao exuded nobility and mystery, with an ethereal quality that seemed otherworldly.

Both of them are incredibly handsome.

After a moment of silence, Su Yu took a spirit fruit from the basket on the table and started to eat it.

"Cough cough..."

Li Cangyao coughed lightly, putting aside his previous disheveled state, and sat up straight.

"Qingyi, your injuries are almost fully healed, right?"

Su Yu nodded gently, "It'll be almost over in a few days. I need to thank you for taking care of me these past few days, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to recover so quickly."

"So... what are your plans after you recover from your injuries?" Li Cangyao pondered for a few seconds before asking curiously.

He really wanted to keep Qingyi by his side, but their relationship wasn't good enough for him to make that request.

And it's very likely that Qingyi will fully recover from her injuries...

"Once I recover from my injuries, I should leave here and return to the Eastern Xuan Region."

"After all, I was lost in the void of the universe back then, and my family must be very worried about me now."

"really......"

At this moment, Su Yu looked at Li Cangyao with sincere eyes, "Cangyao, I sincerely hope that you can return the jade to me before I leave."

"That precious jade is of utmost importance to me; it's an opportunity I obtained after countless hardships..."

Li Cangyao's eyes flickered, but he remained silent.

Su Yu's mind sank slightly. He knew that Li Cangyao still had no intention of returning the jade, so he pretended to be stupid.

There was no point in saying anything, so the topic was dropped.

This guy's pride remains.

In fact, Li Cangyao is also considering Baoyu's matter. For now, Baoyu is secondary. He might be able to use Baoyu to delay Qingyi's departure.

But the most important thing now is to pry out the identity of the man who gave the White Crane Sword from Qingyi...

"You just said you needed to talk to me?"

"That's right. Didn't something strange happen a few days ago on the west side of Fengpu Mountain? I went to see it not long ago, and it seems that an archaeological site is about to emerge."

"So I'm worried you'll get bored here, so I'll take you to the ruins in a couple of days."

"Ruins?" Su Yu crunched on a spirit fruit, chewing it gently.

"What level of ruins is it approximately?"

Li Cangyao looked at the glistening luster on her peach-red lips, and a strange light appeared in his silver eyes.

However, he didn't dare to stare openly for too long, and his gaze narrowed.

"I'm not sure. The site hasn't been discovered yet, so I didn't force my way in."

"However, judging from the energy fluctuations inside, it may already be close to the level of an emperor."

"What?! Ruins at the level of an emperor?!"

A look of astonishment flashed across Su Yu's face. The Great Emperor level—this was already the top combat power in the Eastern Xuan Region. So far, he only knew that the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox in the Illusionary Demon Forest was a Great Emperor.

If there are treasures inside, it would be an earth-shattering opportunity for someone at the Ascended Emperor Realm.

If there really is a Great Emperor Realm site, he has to go there no matter what!

However, judging from the meaning behind Li Cangyao's words, was he going to take him to visit a site of this level?

"......"

Seeing Su Yu remain silent, Li Cangyao assumed she was unwilling to go.

So he persuaded her, "Qingyi, your injuries have just healed, and staying at home all the time is not good for your physical and mental relaxation. Why don't you come with me on a trip?"

"We'll come right back after we've finished exploring the ruins, what do you think?"

"So how will the treasures inside the ruins be distributed?"

Li Cangyao said with a smile, "If there are any treasures inside, you can have them all. After all, they are of no use to me."

Su Yu looked at him with a puzzled expression. "You don't want treasures at the Great Emperor level?"

"Didn't I tell you before? If it were the remains of a true god-level dragon or phoenix, I might be a little interested."

Li Cangyao said helplessly, "He was clearly telling the truth, so why doesn't Qingyi believe him?"

"........"

Su Yu couldn't tell whether Li Cangyao was just putting on an act.

After all, the other party was a Red Destiny, so he couldn't directly deny that he was just bragging.

However, after thinking for a moment, he readily agreed.

“Alright, in that case, I’ll accompany you to see the ruins.”

"I've been here for too long, it's getting a bit stuffy."

Upon hearing this, Li Cangyao's face immediately lit up with joy; it was good that Qingyi had agreed.

Taking her out for a walk can also help distract her.

At this moment, Su Yu also clearly noticed that Li Cangyao's gaze was occasionally fixed on her as she ate the spirit fruit.

He raised an eyebrow, hesitated for a moment, and then handed him the half-eaten spiritual fruit.

"Do you want to eat it?"

Li Cangyao's body trembled.

What did Qingyi mean by handing him the spirit fruit she had already eaten most of?

Is it for myself?

Has she completely closed off from me now?

Has she already started to consider me one of her own?

Immediately, he pretended to be expressionless, but inside he was overjoyed.

P.S. (Important notice regarding this book):

During this period, this book will be updated regularly at midnight.

The author has been working hard to get back into form these past few days.

It has already used its last chance to promote the stream; if it can rise, it will rise; if it can't, it will be completely finished.

You are the readers, and I am the author of this book. I understand its future and potential better than you do.

Some things can't be achieved simply by talking about persisting; that's naive.

So please stop sending gifts. If you really like it, please spend two minutes each day following the updates. Thank you.

I also quite enjoy writing this type of book, but some of them are on the niche or sensitive side.

Also, this account belongs to someone else, not me. Its author page is on someone else's phone, and I need to use their text message every time I log in, which is very troublesome. So I basically don't see your messages for a long time. Please forgive me.

Don't ask me where my account went, because I messed up my main account and the platform banned it.

Therefore, I am very sensitive to censorship now. I chose this subject matter out of necessity, since it is a sensitive subject.

A core element of this theme is the "green tea" character, but I dare not write about toying too much with the feelings of the chosen one. Writing Su Tianxing would make him a purely orthodox villain.

Sue has a conscience, and he also has his own principles.

His original intention was simply to become stronger so that he could escape the fate of being refined after becoming a Three-Colored Black Demon.

This book can only be described as a mutual exchange of effort, hence the investment system was set up from the very beginning. Su did not intend to manipulate emotions, and he himself paid the price and made efforts.

Su's "green tea" nature can only be passive, not active.

This led some readers to feel that the investment system was a bit too simplistic in the early stages, and they filtered out those who didn't participate.

The author had no choice; after all, I'd rather be banned than lose my way.

If a sensitive topic contains negative core values, it will definitely be banned later.

However, how things will develop depends on the author's mental state.

As long as it's reasonably twisted, it's fine.

However, because this book's original intention is slightly different from other books about transforming into a green tea/cross-dressing green tea, its position is somewhat awkward.

An extremely niche topic?

I recently read other articles of the same type, and they were very well written, excellent.

However, the few books I found all featured characters with inherently villainous traits, which almost led me astray and changed my true nature.

This has led to writer's block these past few days.

The author dares not borrow from other works, and there are no books to draw upon, so it is still quite difficult to write well.

In my opinion, a passive "green tea" character is harder to write about than a naturally "green tea" character.

Those who write this kind of story, except for those who write it purely out of passion and whose low traffic allows them to escape unscathed, will either have their stories abandoned halfway through and hastily concluded with a more conventional ending, or they will stop updating altogether, or they will be banned.

This is how this type of story ends.

I can't see the future of this book, otherwise I wouldn't have been forced to start a new one.

The author is asking if I could spend a few more minutes these next few days to catch up on the updates. I'd like to try, please.
