Feeling the gentle massage from Xie Yuyan's hands, Ye Feng closed his eyes, appearing utterly relaxed.
"Haa..."
"How is it? I told you it would feel good if you just let go, didn’t I?"
Ye Feng nodded in agreement, unable to deny that Xie Yuyan's massage skills had grown remarkably adept.
"Yuyan, where did you learn this? It’s so soothing."
"Well..."
Xie Yuyan suddenly paused her movements and replied in an almost whisper.
"Back when I was still an assassin in the Dark Pavilion, we had to master the human body’s structure inside and out. Like how to precisely incapacitate a target or silence them permanently."
She deliberately trailed off, locking eyes with Ye Feng as he opened his.
"Of course, we also learned ways to relieve fatigue. Whenever I was on a mission or needed to unwind, I’d massage myself. Over time, I just got better at it~"
"I see... Yuyan really is clever. Calm and collected no matter what she does."
"Tch... Ye Feng, stop flattering me. I know exactly what I’m like."
Xie Yuyan chuckled softly and stopped massaging him.
"I mean every word! Don’t you believe me?"
With that, Ye Feng prepared to sit up from Xie Yuyan’s lap, feeling a bit embarrassed after lying there for so long.
"It’s not that I don’t believe you... It’s just... I think you’re being a little domineering."
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she gave him a look laced with unspoken meaning.
After experiencing multiple "accidents," Ye Feng could easily read her intentions. But this time, he wasn’t going to retreat like before. If Xie Yuyan wanted to play, he’d match her move for move!
"Domineering? How so?"
"Because after all the effort I put into massaging you, all I get is a half-hearted thank-you! That’s not what I want at all!"
"Oh?"
Ye Feng’s tone turned teasing as he waited for her next words. Xie Yuyan seemed to be luring him into a trap, but in truth, she was the one about to fall into his.
"Then what exactly do you want, Yuyan?"
"Simple! What I want is... Ye—ah!"
Just as Xie Yuyan bared her fangs and lunged to pin Ye Feng down, his hands clamped around her wrists before she could even reach for him.
Restrained, she barely reacted—only a slight tremble in her lively eyes before she steadied herself.
"Ye... Ye Feng?"
"You planned all this, didn’t you, Yuyan?"
His low voice brushed against her ear, and in the next second, he flipped her onto the bed beneath him.
"......"
Xie Yuyan stared up at him, wide-eyed and stunned. Until now, she had always been the one taking the lead. She knew Ye Feng still carried some reservations, so how had he changed so drastically?
"Mmm..."
A soft gasp escaped her as the distance between them nearly vanished.
"Ye... Ye Feng, you... you..."
"What’s wrong? Weren’t you bold just a moment ago? Now you can’t even speak?"
Amused, Ye Feng watched her flustered expression and pinched her chin with one hand.
"Yuyan, Mengli already opened my heart completely back in the garden. So now... you can’t just do as you please."
"Gulp..."
Xie Yuyan swallowed hard, then slowly wrapped her arms around his back, her voice softening.
"Ye... Ye Feng..."
"What is it?"
"I love you~ Mmm..."
"Mwah..."
As her last words left her lips, Ye Feng leaned down. Their emotions boiled over like a kettle, the heat between them rising rapidly.
......
"So you’re saying Teacher has completely let go of his reservations now?"
After listening to Shen Mengli’s explanation, Li Mucheng nodded thoughtfully from the couch, a faint smile gracing her face. Clearly, this outcome was a relief for her—and for everyone else.
"That’s the gist of it. That’s why I stayed with Xiao Feng for so long."
"Mengli."
Su Yuxin suddenly spoke up, her excitement bubbling over as she threw herself at Shen Mengli, wrapping her in a tight hug.
"Yuxin, you—"
Before Shen Mengli could finish, Su Yuxin blurted out, "Thank you, Mengli! Without you all... without your help, I might never have had such a wonderful outcome with Ye Feng. Thank you!"
"It’s nothing..."
Shen Mengli patted her back gently in reassurance.
"I just wanted Xiao Feng to face his new life with a healthy mindset. And Yuyan played a huge role in this too, right? Isn’t that so, Yuyan?"
"......"
The moment those words were spoken, the living room plunged into dead silence. Even Su Yuxin, still hugging Shen Mengli, seemed to sense something amiss. She quickly sat up and scanned the room—then everyone uttered the same realization.
"Xie Yuyan’s gone!"
The cheerful atmosphere vanished as they all scrambled to search for her.
"Oh no!"
Shen Mengli’s sudden exclamation drew Li Mucheng and Su Yuxin’s attention.
"What’s wrong, Mengli? Do you have any ideas?"
"Yes! Xie Yuyan... she’s probably in the guest room right now!"

u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours?
