When I stopped licking, the lady panicked.

In the end, the two compromised. Lin Xuan would not mention what happened today, as if it had never occurred, and Nalan Qinghan would not attempt suicide for the time being.

Nalan Qinghan sat upright on the edge of the bed, staring at Lin Xuan with curious eyes, as if she were meeting him for the first time.

"Let's go, I'll take you home," Lin Xuan said.

Nalan Qinghan snapped out of her daze and said, "Okay."

Lin Xuan and Nalan Qinghan went out together and happened to bump into Yun Xiyue coming out of a side room.

"Lin Xuan! You shameless bastard, where did you get all those dirty clothes?"

Yun Xiyue was complaining as she walked when she saw Lin Xuan and Nalan Qinghan arm in arm. She froze on the spot, her mouth forming an "O".

"You...you...Qinghan, what are you doing?" Yun Xiyue pointed at Nalan Qinghan and Lin Xuan, completely dumbfounded.

Nalan Qinghan blushed and quickly released Lin Xuan's hand, saying, "Xi Yue, it's not what you see."

"You...when did you get here? Why didn't you tell me? Why did you come out of Lin Xuan's room?" Yun Xiyue was completely bewildered.

First, Xiao Zhan was publicly humiliated by Lin Xuan, and now Nalan Qinghan is having a secret rendezvous with Lin Xuan. Yun Xiyue feels as if she has been abandoned by the whole world.

How could this happen? It shouldn't be like this!

Lin Xuan should have obeyed my every command, Zhan Gege should have been aloof and superior, and Qing Han should have joined me in making things difficult for Lin Xuan.

How did I end up all alone?

Yun Xiyue's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Xi Yue, I..." Nalan Qinghan didn't know how to explain this, and panicked for a moment.

"Qinghan, what... what are you trying to do? We're best friends! Why did you betray me?" Yun Xiyue said, choking back tears.

Nalan Qinghan hurriedly explained, "I didn't betray you!"

Yun Xiyue almost collapsed and shouted, "You...you've already linked arms with Lin Xuan, and you still say you didn't!"

"Moreover, you came to the Lin residence without even telling me, and you even sneaked into the room with Lin Xuan. I don't know what you were doing in the room!"

"Nalan Qinghan, you're shameless! You stole your best friend's husband!"

Nalan Qinghan was speechless and at a loss for words.

Lin Xuan frowned and forcefully pulled Nalan Qinghan into his arms.

Nalan Qinghan was already in a panic and didn't know where to go. When Lin Xuan hugged her like that, she was so frightened that she trembled on the spot.

"Yun Xiyue, you've already said that the person you love most is the Third Prince, so what does it matter to you who I'm with or who I'm intimate with?" Lin Xuan said.

"I..." Yun Xiyue choked as Lin Xuan pressed against her, "I...we're still husband and wife!"

"Our marriage is already dead in name only. Haven't you always wanted to marry your Zhan-gege? Now I'm giving you a chance. You can leave," Lin Xuan said.

Yun Xiyue's eyes reddened as she looked at Nalan Qinghan, who was embracing Lin Xuan, and felt as if she had been betrayed by the whole world.

"Nalan Qinghan, I hate you!"

Yun Xiyue ran back to the side room crying.

Only after Yun Xiyue ran away did Nalan Qinghan come to her senses. She struggled frantically, pushed Lin Xuan away, and said with a flushed face, "How could you treat me so lightly?"

Lin Xuan said, "We're practically naked already, what's wrong with a little hug?"

Nalan Qinghan quickly covered Lin Xuan's mouth, saying, "Don't talk nonsense! You promised you wouldn't tell anyone!"

Lin Xuan smiled, took Nalan Qinghan's hand away, and said, "That depends on whether you know what's good for you."

"You!" Nalan Qinghan stamped her foot in exasperation. "Lin Xuan, you lied to me again!"

"Where did I lie to you?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.

Nalan Qinghan said, "You promised you wouldn't tell anyone!"

"I didn't tell anyone! I just put my arm around your waist," Lin Xuan said, shrugging.

"You!" Nalan Qinghan stomped her foot, she was so annoyed.

Why is Lin Xuan so annoying? I know he did something wrong, but I don't know exactly what he did wrong.

Nalan Qinghan was unaware that she had been completely controlled by Lin Xuan.

"You didn't say I couldn't put my arm around your waist, did you?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.

Nalan Qinghan blushed with anxiety and said in a sharp voice, "No!"

"Then just don't hug anymore," Lin Xuan said, shrugging.

Nalan Qinghan said, "You still have to explain to Xiyue!"

"Explain what?" Lin Xuan asked.

Nalan Qinghan said, "Explain why you hugged me just now."

"But if I were to explain, I'd have to also explain what we did in the house," Lin Xuan said with a mischievous grin.

Nalan Qinghan blushed, suddenly remembering how she had just been lying on the bed, and was immediately filled with shame.

"I can't say!" Nalan Qinghan said.

"If you don't tell me, then there's no way to explain. So, do you want me to explain to Yun Xiyue or not?" Lin Xuan stroked his chin and said with great interest, seemingly enjoying teasing Nalan Qinghan.

Nalan Qinghan is only in his early twenties. How could he possibly outmaneuver Lin Xuan, a reborn person who has lived for hundreds of years?

"You...I..." Nalan Qinghan stammered.

"So, let's not bother explaining, lest we make things worse." Lin Xuan smiled and put his hand on Nalan Qinghan's shoulder.

Nalan Qinghan shook his hand away in disgust.

"Why are you hugging me again?" Nalan Qinghan asked.

"Why not?"

"Didn't you just promise me you wouldn't hug me?"

"I promised I wouldn't put my arm around your waist, this time it's your shoulder."

"you!"

Nalan Qinghan blushed with anger. "Lin Xuan, I hate you! I don't want you to take me home, I'll go home by myself! Humph!"

Nalan Qinghan stomped her foot and ran off angrily.

Lin Xuan shrugged, indicating that he didn't care, and started walking, quickly catching up with Nalan Qinghan.

Since fusing the Dragon Butterfly Cocoon with the Supreme Bone, Lin Xuan's physique has undergone a qualitative leap.

He could even feel something stirring under his ribs; with just a little effort, those four bone claws would burst out of his body.

He could clearly feel the power hidden within his body.

Soon, the two arrived at the Nalan family home together.

Nalan Qinghan looked at Lin Xuan following behind her, and was very surprised: How could he keep up with my speed? The Nalan family's techniques are known for their lightness and agility. Even if he and I are both at the Spirit Profound Realm, there is no way he could keep up with my speed!

"Lin Xuan, how did you keep up with me?" Nalan Qinghan asked.

She had intended to use the advantage of her cultivation technique to shake off Lin Xuan, but to her surprise, Lin Xuan followed closely behind, without widening the distance at all.

"I followed with my legs," Lin Xuan said.

Nalan Qinghan was shocked and said, "You are in the early stage of the Spirit Profound Realm, while I am in the middle stage of the Spirit Profound Realm."

"Moreover, the martial arts of my Nalan family are known for their lightness and agility, while the martial arts of your Lin family are known for their strength and power."

"How could you possibly catch up with me?"
