The white-haired school beauty sighs every day, yet he keeps getting stronger.

Huangfu Ji lowered his voice:

"The investigation in Beimeng City is still ongoing. Once the process is complete, the person will definitely be escorted to the provincial bureau. At that time, they will most likely be transferred to Tianxing City, and then transferred up through the layers of bureaus. Director Wang told us to be prepared in case of any unexpected situations."

There's something fishy about this whole thing.

The air was thick with the smell of conspiracy.

No one can sit still until they figure out the true purpose of that troupe member.

That bastard has become a ticking time bomb, causing widespread panic.

And those media outlets that love to watch the drama unfold, how did they just happen to arrive at such a convenient time?

After hearing this, Zhao Rouyun immediately narrowed her eyes:

"No wonder you left work so early today. So you had something to ask of me. Did Director Wang send you here to act as an intermediary?"

Huangfu Ji smiled broadly and gave a thumbs-up:

"My dear wife is indeed incredibly intelligent, worthy of being the once-renowned 'Cloud Piercing Arrow'... Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Be gentle, my wife!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Rouyun, whose expression had changed, grabbed him tightly.

"You still have the nerve to bring this up? If you hadn't been lazy and refused to go downstairs to buy a condom back then, I wouldn't have gotten pregnant and had to leave the group so early. Have you ever cared about anything at home all these years? Now you come to me for help when you need something? Huangfu Ji, you may be shameless, but I still have my pride!"

Huangfu Ji quickly begged for mercy:

"It's my fault, it's my fault, honey, calm down. The two kids upstairs are still sleeping! If we wake them up, they'll laugh at us. Besides, it's not what you think. Let me explain!"

Zhao Rouyun then released her grip, crossed her arms, and turned to the side.

"Fine, I'll listen to your explanation, but if it doesn't satisfy me, you can sleep on the sofa tonight!"

Huangfu Ji rubbed his ears, which had been pinched until they were red, smiled, and quickly moved closer to pull the warm, soft woman into his arms.

Zhao Rouyun struggled a few times, but seeing that she couldn't break free, she let him go.

Huangfu Ji knew she was softening, so he quickly lowered his head and whispered a few words in his wife's ear.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rouyun's expression immediately softened:

"Is that really true? You're not lying?"

"It's more real than pearls! Director Wang has spoken, and he'll help regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not. This is a good thing for the Flying Swallow Group!"

"Okay, I'll contact them tomorrow morning. You'll come with me, so don't even think about running away!"

"No problem, I promise to complete the mission!"

Seeing his solemn salute, Zhao Rouyun couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But soon, the laughter turned into suppressed gasps and gasps.

"Ah~ Huangfu Ji, are you trying to kill me? Put me down right now! If the child sees this, do you even want to live anymore?!"

"So what if they saw it? What business is it of theirs if we're a loving couple? Let's go, let's go back to our room and sleep!"

After Huangfu Ji finished speaking, he picked up his beautiful wife and quickly walked into the house.

"You...go take a shower first, otherwise you're not allowed to touch me!"

"Okay, okay, but we have to shower together!"

……

Silent all night.

The next morning, Zhang Ziyang was fast asleep in bed.

Huangfu Yue was already dressed and skillfully used a hairpin to pry open the door lock. She went into the room and called Zhang Ziyang to get up.

"Get up, Zhang Ziyang!"

The white-haired, cat-eared maid called out familiarly, then walked to the window and pulled back the curtains to let the sunlight stream in.

"Woo~"

The boy on the bed rubbed his sleepy eyes, somewhat speechless.

"Ugh, what time is it? Why are you waking me up again? And how did you even get into my room? I'm absolutely sure I locked it!"

The white-haired cat-eared maid turned around and blinked her bright eyes at him.

"It's just a little survival tactic, nothing to mention."

Huangfu Yue spoke calmly, her slender arms behind her back, her long legs, clad in white stockings, crossing back and forth as she stepped toward the door.

His expression and demeanor were as if he were in his own room.

After yesterday's "experience," she can now calmly wear this shameful and provocative outfit to wake someone up.

From a certain perspective, this... can be considered a kind of mental training, right?

Zhang Ziyang pulled the bed sheet over himself before realizing he was only wearing his underwear.

Well, looks like I'll have to wear clothes next time.

Seeing Huangfu Yue turn to leave, he quickly called out.

"Wait a minute, you...you're not coming back tomorrow morning, are you?"

The white-haired cat-eared maid stopped in her tracks, her delicate, flawless face looking so soft and inviting that one couldn't help but want to kiss her.

"you guessed wrong."

Zhang Ziyang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He was, after all, a spirited and vigorous young man.

If Huangfu Yue dressed like this and walked around his room every day, it would be like sending a little white rabbit into the wolf's mouth, purely testing his willpower.

Being able to see it but not eat it is pure torture.

"Besides tomorrow morning, I'll also come tonight to wake you up for bed," Huangfuyue added earnestly.

Zhang Ziyang's smile froze as he watched the arrogant little rabbit leave his room with light steps.

This...this guy is definitely playing some weird game, right?

Who would have thought that beneath Huangfu Yue's icy exterior lay such a passionate, girlish heart!

That saying is absolutely true: suppressing your emotions for too long will cause psychological problems.

Zhang Ziyang was a little frustrated, but there was nothing he could do.

Sigh, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!

He then got up, dressed, washed up, and dried his hair before going downstairs.

The first floor was quiet, and no one was in the kitchen.

Zhang Ziyang found it strange. After glancing at it a few times, he found a pink sticky note on the dining table.

Upon picking it up, I saw several lines of neat, small handwriting on it, which must have been left by Aunt Zhao.

She said that she and her uncle had to go out for a while.

I cooked congee with preserved egg and lean pork in the pressure cooker, and told him and Huangfu Yue to serve themselves. If it got cold, I would heat it up for a while.

If everything goes well, I should be back by noon, or at least in the evening.

Zhang Ziyang put down the note, somewhat puzzled:

"What's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"

But he didn't investigate further; his uncle was a special agent for the Special Affairs Bureau, and being busy was the norm for him.

Bringing Aunt Zhao along probably means there's something important to take care of.

Zhang Ziyang shook his head, got up and went to the kitchen to lift the lid of the pot. An enticing aroma immediately wafted out with the hot steam.

The porridge was still warm, so he ladled out two bowls and placed them on the table before calling Huangfu Yue downstairs for breakfast.

The white-haired school beauty responded and quickly went downstairs. She had changed back into her regular clothes and was no longer wearing that rather revealing maid outfit.

Zhang Ziyang briefly recounted how Aunt Zhao and Uncle went out.

Huangfu Yue didn't react much. She nodded and then silently drank her porridge, still maintaining her calm and composed demeanor.

But Zhang Ziyang could vaguely sense that she seemed to be in a pretty good mood today.

Was it because I teased him?

Or is there something else that makes you happy?

A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; Zhang Ziyang couldn't fathom it, nor did he want to.

After finishing her meal, Huangfu Yue returned to her room to cultivate as usual.

After washing the dishes, Zhang Ziyang went upstairs to change into a breathable and sweat-wicking sports shirt that he often wore for exercise, and then went to the basement training room.

After doing twenty minutes of aerobic exercise to fully stretch his body, Zhang Ziyang finally stopped, satisfied.

With a wave of his hand, the Emperor's Soul Card materialized.

The bottom right corner still has the same engraving, but the number of golden dots around it has increased from one to three!

Zhang Ziyang smiled slightly and put away the soul card with satisfaction.

Tier 1, 3 stars!

In just one night, he broke through two more stars!

Although it has the assistance of second-tier crystal cores and abundant resources, its efficiency is still terrifying.

If this got out, I don't know how many people would be shocked.

Because the higher you go in your cultivation level, the more difficult it becomes to break through.

Just like leveling up in a game, the required maximum experience points increase significantly with each level you advance.

Even the most exceptionally talented genius will see their breakthrough speed slow down as their strength increases.

Zhang Ziyang was able to maintain this unstoppable breakthrough efficiency thanks to the "Yin Yang Five Elements Great Revolving Creation Technique" he had just acquired yesterday...
