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

Huangfu Yue eventually accepted the gift box.

no way.

She disagreed, but Zhang Ziyang stubbornly refused to comply.

He reached out to grab her, but she dodged him with a graceful twist of her slender waist, then slipped into the corner of the bed.

A steadfast spirit that says, "Even if you get my body, you can't get my heart!"

Her refusal to submit, even at the cost of her life, made her seem like some spoiled brat forcing a woman into prostitution.

The two had been at it for almost an hour, and Huangfu Yue still couldn't do anything to Zhang Ziyang. On the contrary, she was a little tired, and her fair and delicate skin was covered in sweat.

Finally, he reluctantly agreed.

"I'll take it, okay?"

Huangfu Yue sat on the edge of the bed, rolled her eyes at the boy in the corner who was tightly hugging a thin blanket, and raised her hand to fan her ample chest.

That bastard is like a slippery eel, so slippery!

If they really want to take action, they can forcefully suppress them, but Zhang Ziyang will still have to give a score and evaluation after the punishment mission ends tomorrow night.

The comparison system had specifically pointed this out.

If the score is too low, the punishment period will be extended, and the punishment will be more severe in the next comparison!

If this angers Zhang Ziyang, and he deliberately gives her a low score or bad review, it would be a case of losing more than you gain.

Besides, she didn't want to resort to violence over such a trivial matter.

She's not some kind of bully.

Zhang Ziyang's expression softened slightly, but he didn't move. Instead, he gestured towards the desk with his lip.

"I don't believe you unless you accept it first."

"..."

Huangfu Yue was speechless.

Quite cautious!

Without saying much, she got up and walked to the table, rolled up her sleeves to reveal the "Flying Snow" release device on her left wrist, and put the gift box into it with a thought.

He then turned around, squinted at Zhang Ziyang.

"Is it okay now?"

She read it aloud, word by word, her voice calm.

But Zhang Ziyang could hear the barely concealed resentment in his words.

He knew when to stop, readily lay down on the bed, and even covered himself with a small blanket.

"Could you turn off the light? It's too bright and I can't fall asleep easily."

The operation was smooth and seamless.

Seeing his expression, Huangfu Yue smiled and went over to turn off the light.

The room immediately dimmed.

The girl moved the chair next to the desk, tiptoed to the bedside and sat down without saying a word, just quietly keeping him company.

A cool breeze blew through the gauze window, and a few beams of bright moonlight shone into the room.

The light fell on the girl, making her skin appear fair and her white hair, which swayed slightly in the evening breeze, seem almost transparent.

Zhang Ziyang closed his eyes, the girl's delicate fragrance reaching his nose, but he couldn't fall asleep for a while.

He hasn't been coaxed to sleep since the third grade of elementary school.

I never thought I'd be able to experience this again at my age.

And it was Huangfu Yue who brought it!

This bizarre turn of events kept him awake at night.

Zhang Ziyang is like this now.

More than ten minutes passed, and instead of feeling sleepy, I felt increasingly uncomfortable.

So, she would occasionally turn her body, trying to find a comfortable position, or pull the blanket down.

After a while, feeling awkward, I turned back.

At this moment, Huangfu Yue suddenly spoke.

"Why...why did you help him deliver the gift?"

In the darkness, Zhang Ziyang opened his eyes with his back to Huangfu Yue.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"The truth."

"My uncle also gave me a gift, and I have to help him out, otherwise this gift will be too hot for me to handle."

After he finished speaking, there was silence behind him for a long time.

Just as Zhang Ziyang was about to turn around to see what was going on, he suddenly heard an extremely faint laugh.

"Hee~"

The sound drifted into my ears on the night breeze, like the soft laughter and whispers of an elf, and soon disappeared.

The girl secretly covered her mouth, and only the moonlight saw it.

Zhang Ziyang raised an eyebrow.

"You smiled?"

"No."

Huangfu Yue vehemently denied it.

She admired his honesty and sincerity, but she knew it was impossible for him to admit it himself.

“You definitely laughed, I heard it.”

"without!"

"Okay, okay, if you say no, then no. Whatever makes you happy."

Feeling the girl's delicate hand fall on his ear, Zhang Ziyang wisely stopped teasing her.

Ha, what kind of goddess Huangfu is she? You resort to violence when you can't win an argument?

He's a good man and doesn't argue with women, so he'll let her off this time!

After all that commotion, both of them felt much better and were no longer so tense.

A few chirps of insects came from outside the window, rhythmic and melodious.

Huangfu Yue moved her hand away and placed it on Zhang Ziyang's back. She then leaned over and lay on the edge of the bed, gently patting him as her mother had done to lull her to sleep when she was a child.

"Go to sleep."

"Ah."

The two fell silent, and the room quickly became quiet.

This time, Zhang Ziyang didn't feel anxious. His tense muscles relaxed, and he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Once the system notified her that the task was complete, Huangfu Yue got up and carefully put the chair back in its original place.

As she reached the door, she leaned against the doorframe, turned her head to look at Zhang Ziyang, and murmured something under her breath.

"Good night."

Back in her room, Huangfu Yue took the gift box out of the Flying Snow Release Device.

I looked at it for a long time, but still didn't open it.

Finally, the gift box was put back into the release device's storage space.

Let's wait and see, until she gets over that hurdle that has already taken root in her heart.

Huangfu Yue took a deep breath, took out the crystal core, sat cross-legged, and continued to cultivate diligently.

Only in this way could she temporarily forget her troubles.

……

The next day, everything was as usual.

Zhang Ziyang was woken up by Huangfu Yue in the morning, ate breakfast, and then went to the basement to practice his combat skills.

The only difference is that my uncle went to work again.

Judging from how busy they are, they probably won't be able to come home for the next few days.

Before leaving, Huangfu Ji specifically pulled Zhang Ziyang aside for a chat.

Upon learning that Huangfu Yue had accepted the gift box, his mood immediately improved considerably.

He then asked Zhang Ziyang to say a few good words for him, the father, to Huangfu Yue before hurriedly leaving.

Zhang Ziyang watched his uncle leave, feeling a strange sense of "using Huangfu Yue to command his uncle," and he was at a loss for words.

After calming himself down, he continued his spiritual practice.

He has roughly mastered the [Charge] technique.

If we solidify our foundation today, we can immediately begin learning the third basic combat skill – [Hidden].

Simply put, "concealment" means using mental energy to cover the body in order to isolate one's aura and weaken one's presence.

It sounds simple, but it's difficult to practice.

After all, people are not static objects; maintaining the operation of "hidden" while in motion is a skill that requires a lot of practice to accumulate experience.

As expected, Uncle didn't come back that night, and the three of them were used to it.

After dinner, Zhang Ziyang went back to his room to get the crystal cores to continue his cultivation.

Instead of Huangfu Yue, Tongzi, who had just finished upgrading, arrived first.

【System upgrade completed】

The new feature module has been successfully loaded. Please check it out and familiarize yourself with it.

Hear the prompt.

Zhang Ziyang immediately stopped cultivating and opened his eyes.

Their faces practically screamed, "Hurry up and bring it up, I can't wait!"
