Chapter 788: Chapter 788: Hanhan, Don’t Just Talk Big, Show Us Something Real

Deeply pleased.

Bai Chuwei nodded to Duan Feihan, determined not to allow Xue Qiu to continue eating anymore.

The butler was getting on in years and sometimes couldn’t resist feeding a bit more to such a pitiful little creature like Xue Qiu.

But in the care of big villain Duan Feihan, his heart was like iron stone, there definitely would be no mistakes!

With Duan Feihan in charge, Bai Chuwei felt very relieved.

Duan Feihan casually placed Xue Qiu on the ground, and Xue Qiu hurriedly dashed toward the big black snake dozing on the couch, extending its sharp claws.

Is this little thing preparing to hibernate?

This kid is done for!

Duan Feihan looked at her with a neutral tone, “You came all the way here just to board your pet?”

Bai Chuwei’s eyes flitted playfully, and as her fingers lightly hooked the last button of his long black coat at his waist, she smiled with an ambiguous meaning, “Of course… I came mainly to see you, and to board Xue Qiu as secondary.”

“I had already reached the foot of Yunwu Mountain and yet turned back specifically to see you.”

Xue Qiu, though it wouldn’t master the Transformation Technique for twenty years due to its stupidity, was well versed in life skills, so it wouldn’t die without her for ten to fifteen days. It had even sneaked down the mountain to play in the village below, and was almost mistaken for a harmful rat and nearly gotten beaten.

Duan Feihan looked down at the button her finger was hooked on, a somewhat ambiguous position, his gaze slightly deepened and he asked in a husky voice,

“Are you going up the mountain tomorrow?”

Bai Chuwei’s eyebrows lifted teasingly, “I’ve calculated the days; today is the best day to start my retreat.”

Duan Feihan watched her fingers, “But I feel that you don’t really want to enter seclusion tonight.”

Bai Chuwei was slightly taken aback, her gaze falling on the position of her own finger and understanding Duan Feihan’s meaning, and promptly withdrew her hand.

She straightened up, her laugh becoming even more seductive and affectionate, “Hanhan, don’t just talk the talk, try something more substantial.”

Duan Feihan: “…”

Bai Chuwei laughed and suddenly stepped forward to gently embrace him, “We’ll see each other in a few days.”

The faint medicinal fragrance from her hair lingered in his breath, and Duan Feihan could not help but ask, “Will you miss me?”

Bai Chuwei didn’t even think, “No.”

Duan Feihan: “…”

Bai Chuwei wriggled out of his embrace, answering matter-of-factly, “Hanhan, when one is in retreat, one must focus entirely. Thinking of you would only distract me.”

“There’s no need for you to keep me company.”

Both of them were rational people; Bai Chuwei wasn’t a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who needed company, and Duan Feihan still had affairs of the Dark Night to deal with. They would each mind their own business.

Bai Chuwei smiled and waved at him, and in no time had disappeared from Duan Feihan’s bedroom, the lingering medicinal fragrance in the air making it seem as if she had never been there.

“Master, the 49th check is complete. Everything on Canglan Island is back to normal, just like its original state,” the eldest senior brother Bai Ze came with a full smile, reporting to Qingxuan.

Qingxuan stroked his beard, nodding satisfied, “Very good, then let’s pack up and hand over the hairpin to Elder Bai.”

Everything had been restored to its original state, and Qingxuan was confident that Elder Bai would be satisfied when he returned the hairpin to her.

Only if she was pleased, would they have the chance to rely on her influential support again next time.

However, it was said that Elder Bai had returned to Yunwu Mountain in Haicheng for a retreat, so they would have to deliver the hairpin directly to Haicheng.

Under the moonlight, Qingxuan led his disciples hovering over the sea waves outside Canglan Island, with quite a few disciples standing in speedboats and small ships so as not to fall into the sea.

Qingxuan was about to use the incantation Elder Bai had taught to collect Canglan Island into the hairpin, when suddenly Bai Ze’s expression tensed, his gaze fixed on the distance, he called out urgently, “Master, it seems someone is rushing toward us.”

Sea spray splashed about… the oncoming people were not few in number.
