Thunder City.
Upon his return, Fang Yu felt a softness within his embrace and instinctively tightened his grip. In the very next moment, his pupils widened in surprise. What was this sensation?! Saliva accumulated in his throat, and he forced himself to look down, his gaze landing squarely on Ding Hui’s eyes. Wait! She was awake?! His body instantly stiffened, his mind buzzing into a state of complete blankness. Meanwhile, the woman in his arms playfully winked. "Do you like it?"
Swoosh— Fang Yu immediately snapped back to reality and scrambled out of the bed. "I, I didn't do anything!"
This reaction greatly amused Ding Hui, who let out a hearty laugh from the bed, a hint of spring revealed without any trace of shyness. Shifting into a more comfortable position, she propped her head with one hand and remarked with a smile, "I didn't say you did anything." She then yawned lazily, as if sleep had still eluded her. She neither addressed the previous event nor dwelled on it, but Fang Yu’s ears were practically on fire. Although they had always shared the same room, Fang Yu typically spent his nights practicing martial arts or out on missions. As a cultivator, he possessed abundant Qi and rarely lacked sleep. It was only upon logging out of the game that his physical body would truly succumb to slumber. Ding Hui, too, was a notorious workaholic, often staying up late. Their sleep schedules aligning in this manner was an unusual occurrence. Struggling to tear his gaze away from Ding Hui, Fang Yu's attention fell upon a stack of unfinished work materials on the table, a wave of guilt washing over him and banishing the earlier awkwardness. Ding Hui must have toiled until late and succumbed to sleepiness before she could finish. Otherwise, given her diligent nature, it was unthinkable that she would set work aside to go straight to sleep.
Clap, clap. At this moment, Ding Hui shifted again, adopting a somewhat alluring pose, and patted the bed. "Come up and sleep; why get up so early." Her voice was languid, carrying an inexplicable charm. Fang Yu’s gaze was involuntarily drawn to Ding Hui’s generous cleavage. The sensation from earlier… Not right! Fang Yu quickly turned away. "I, I'll go take a shower and do some morning exercises." From behind him, Ding Hui's knowing chuckle echoed, and Fang Yu, his ears still flushed, hastily quickened his pace and exited the room. He took a deep breath after closing the door with a backward motion of his hand. Why does it feel like… Ding Hui is becoming bolder…
After proceeding to the courtyard, he drew some well water to rinse himself off. Fang Yu’s composure gradually returned. He dried himself and got dressed. Fang Yu had just put on his undergarments… "Eek~~~" The sound was neither loud nor soft, lacking significant tonal variation. His gaze shifted, and there stood Guo Yuxin. "Inspector Bald Pigeon, you look lean in clothes, but fit out of them!" As she jogged closer, Fang Yu already wore a blank expression while continuing to dress. For some inexplicable reason, when facing this woman, despite the current predicament, Fang Yu felt no particular emotion, as if he merely perceived the health bar above her head, utterly unfazed. Could it be that I’ve slain too many, both human and monster, male and female, all appearing the same in my eyes? Just lumps of flesh? But then again. If Ding Hui were to see my body at this moment… Fang Yu instantly felt a warmth spread through his body. Even though Ding Hui examined his body daily, this circumstance was entirely different…
Jab, jab! Jab, jab! "Inspector Bald Pigeon’s muscles are really firm." Fang Yu rolled his eyes, too weary to engage with her. He flicked her hand away and inquired, "Where is Master Quan Heng?" Guo Yuxin rubbed her slightly sore finger, puffing her cheeks in mock indignation. "Bald Pigeon is inside chanting scriptures; it's so dull." It was true that a significant amount of killing had occurred last night, and given Monk Quan Heng’s disposition, he was likely offering prayers for the departed souls. Fang Yu held no belief in such matters, yet he would not interfere with Monk Quan Heng’s actions. While Fang Yu was lost in thought, a fleeting glance caught sight of his own finger. In an instant, his eyes widened. Reflecting on the matter with Ding Hui, he hadn't realized that the golden thread encircling his finger had completely vanished at some point, leaving behind only faint, ring-like marks on his index finger. What did this signify? Had it been successful? Subconsciously, he activated that technique. Buzz! His entire index finger instantly erupted in a golden luminescence! It truly worked! Fang Yu’s face beamed with unadulterated joy. Guo Yuxin, standing nearby and completely oblivious, merely poked Fang Yu’s illuminated finger with curiosity. "Inspector Bald Pigeon, is your finger made of pure gold? It looks so valuable." As she spoke, she tilted her head and brought the finger that had just touched the golden fingertip to her mouth, acting endearingly foolish. Unfortunately, it held no sway over Fang Yu. Fang Yu was reveling in his triumph.
If a 'golden finger' could be obtained, then perhaps a 'golden palm' wasn't out of reach.
In times to come, even possessing a body of pure golden bones might become a reality!
"Ding Hui..."
Fang Yu's attention was immediately drawn back to his room.
Disregarding the bothersome Guo Yuxin hovering nearby, he hurried toward the room.
He pushed the door open.
"Ding..."
The instant the door creaked ajar and his voice was about to escape, Fang Yu froze.
He observed Ding Hui deep in slumber on the bed.
Her breathing was steady and calm, exuding an profound sense of peace.
Fang Yu's expression immediately softened.
He carefully and quietly shut the door.
Noticing Guo Yuxin trotting closer, Fang Yu inquired with a sigh.
"Why are you trailing me?"
Guo Yuxin responded with simple honesty: "I only know Inspector Bald Pigeon and Pigeon here. If I don't stick with Pigeon, who else is there for me to go with?"
