Chapter 901: Chapter 563: Dao Charm

The courtyard provided by the Prime Minister’s Mansion for the Guest Elder to reside in was not exactly a luxury estate, but it was at least the size of a standard quadrangle dwelling. However, for a Great Grandmaster’s sensing range, this area was still somewhat insufficient.

In other words, from the moment Ran Qingmo approached the entrance of the courtyard, even without actively using her cultivation, every movement within the entire yard was already within her passive sensing range. If Xu Yuan were to now sneak out from the window, he’d be caught red-handed, no doubt about it.

The only feasible method would likely be to have Bai Muxi speak out, saying it’s inconvenient tonight and ask Ran Qingmo to leave.

But the problem was, although he haphazardly closed the door to his temporary residence, he didn’t close the courtyard gate, and his footprints in the snow outside were those of only entering, not leaving!

As he hurriedly dressed, Xu Yuan glanced outside with Spiritual Vision.

As expected, Ran Qingmo’s dark eyes were drifting over the footprints on the ground that were about to be buried by the flying snow.

The footprints were large, clearly those of a man.

Big Ice Lump might be slow-witted, but she was not stupid.

She might not think too much beforehand, but after getting sent away by Bai Muxi, she would still be able to reflect on the strangeness afterwards.

After all, which man in the Prime Minister’s Mansion would come to see Bai Muxi under the stars and moon?

As he pondered, Ran Qingmo at the doorway had already slowly stepped toward the Guest Elder’s dwelling.

"Creak..."

"Creak..."

The silent night, stepping lightly on the snow.

Ran Qingmo’s voice carried a hint of doubt:

"I... have something to ask Mr. Bai, but Xu Yuan, what are you doing here?"

"I came to deliver something. Xinyao, that brat, didn’t want to run errands for me, so I had to come myself."

The prepared excuse slipped off his tongue smoothly as he saw Ran Qingmo already stepping into the courtyard, causing Xu Yuan’s pupils to reflexively shrink again.

He quickly glanced at the elaborate brocade robe on his body and decisively stripped it off, along with the Patterned Boots by the bed, tossing them into the Sumeru Ring.

This brocade was a Patterned Robe, very complex to wear, even if he put it on without arranging it for a bit it would still look loose and shabby. It was better to simply throw on a loose Confucian Robe, along with a pair of wooden clogs, giving off a more homely look. After all, Big Ice Lump was used to seeing him in this uninhibited style of dress.

With this thought, Xu Yuan no longer hesitated.

Ran Qingmo’s pace was measured, but it would only take seven or eight breaths to reach the door.

It was already a matter of life and death!

"..."

While Xu Yuan was pushing his Cultivation Technique to the limit just for the sake of dressing, Bai Muxi was still quietly lying on the bed, with one hand on her forehead, perspiration beading in her hair, her face flushed, her soft chest and flat abdomen rising and falling with slightly rapid breathing.

Even,

She still had the mood to pretend to casually lift a slender, fair leg.

Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with her; she was just trying to make him happy as the young master wished. As long as she didn’t cause trouble, lying quietly on the side and playing dead would be winning.

If that foolish girl got angry with the young master because of this, she might be able to take advantage of the situation. Unfortunately, based on her understanding of that foolish girl’s character, even if she encountered the situation head-on, the other side was very likely not to hit her...

Amidst these thoughts, Bai Muxi suddenly sensed Xu Yuan staring at her with a deep gaze.

Damn it.

At the moment of their eye contact, Xu Yuan realized that this Biluochun tea was prepared to lie down and display tea art skills, and she truly dared to put it into practice.

"Creak..."

"Creak..."

The sound of stepping on the snow grew closer.

Without a second thought, Xu Yuan directly took a plain white garment from the Sumeru Ring and threw it onto the still playing dead Xiao Bai’s face on the bed, then crisply transmitted a message:

"Stop playing dead, get dressed, and use a wind-element Spellcraft to blow some air around the room."

"..." Bai Muxi.

A moment of silence, Bai Muxi somewhat reluctantly took the plain garment and sat up from the soft bed, large patches of fair skin exposed, slowly and leisurely starting to tidy her disheveled tube top and underpants.

"..." Xu Yuan’s eyes twitched.

Just as Xu Yuan was about to transmit another message, Bai Muxi’s actions suddenly hastened, almost in the blink of an eye, she had already put on the garment given to her and was tidying up the disarray in the room with twinkling movements.

Bai Muxi knew very well what to do and when.

She could lie on the side and wait for Ran Qingmo to come in if the young master didn’t call her, but if he did call her and she continued to play dead at that moment, it might cause a conflict between Ran Qingmo and the young master, but it would also backfire for her.

Within moments,

The person outside was creaking on the snow, while the two inside the room bustled with preparation.

Finally,

With a gust of clean wind sweeping through the slightly risque scent in the room, everything was ready.

The light was bright,

Xu Yuan wore a loosely fitted Confucian Robe, casually drinking tea, while across him, Bai Muxi knelt in respect, brewing tea for Xu Yuan, the water in the teapot bubbling and boiling, everything so peacefully serene.

Bringing out the tea table and tea set from the Sumeru Ring was Bai Muxi’s suggestion.

To make it more natural.

After all, he had to do something since he came so late at night.

And the instantly appearing boiling water and flames inside were, of course, conjured by Xiao Bai using Dao Charm.

The Five Elements Domain indeed was convenient.

At least, if he had met Bai Muxi at the beginning of his journey, he wouldn’t have to worry about freezing to death.

With these miscellaneous thoughts in mind, Xu Yuan suddenly noticed that the beautiful face of Bai Muxi across from him was flushed a bit too much, and there were still some damp stains on the bed that hadn’t been cleaned up.

Damn it, forgot to change the sheets!

With a sudden jump in his heart, Xu Yuan was about to get up.
