Chapter 777: Chapter 755: Already Speaking Honestly (2)_1

What puzzled Situ Xin even more was that, according to her understanding, an ordinary person with so much Spiritual Energy in their body would have certainly exploded and died long ago. Although Spiritual Energy was a good thing, it was only beneficial for Cultivators. However, Xiao Muli had so much Spiritual Energy in his body and seemed to be perfectly fine.

Situ Xin also felt that the Spiritual Energy within Xiao Muli’s body was very docile, showing no resistance at all to the energy she was channeling into him. It was as if it were meant to be there.

"No resistance, companions," Situ Xin muttered these two words to herself, and her mind suddenly grasped something. With that thought, she lifted her head, her eyes widening as she stared at Xiao Muli.

This caused Xiao Muli, who had been carefully observing Situ Xin’s expressions, to also widen his eyes in response. However, Xiao Muli was puzzled, wondering what was going on with Situ Xin. It was just a pulse check, so why all the expressions? He guessed inwardly whether there was something unusual about his body.

Under Situ Xin’s unblinking gaze, Xiao Muli eventually couldn’t keep his composure and was the first to speak, "Baby, what’s wrong? Is there something not right with my body?"

Only when Xiao Muli spoke did Situ Xin come back to her senses. She nodded and said, "Yes, there is something unusual about your body, but it’s not bad, it’s good. I’ll tell you more about it after we’ve dealt with last night’s matter."

Situ Xin thought about the knowledge on dual cultivation she had seen on the Jade Token. Before, she had merely glanced at it and hadn’t taken this knowledge to heart. If it weren’t for Situ Xin’s exceptional memory, she probably wouldn’t even remember seeing this information.

Just now, it was the peculiar Spiritual Energy in Xiao Muli’s body that triggered a flash of insight, prompting her to recall this knowledge on dual cultivation.

"Okay, when you’re ready to talk, let me know," Xiao Muli agreed unconditionally to whatever Situ Xin said. "Then Baby, get dressed, and let’s head back to the Xiao Family Old Mansion. Once there, you can rest properly."

"Alright," Situ Xin said as she picked up the clothes that Xiao Muli’s assistant had bought for her, preparing to change. But, as she was about to take off her hotel nightgown, she noticed that Xiao Muli was still sitting in the same spot, staring intently at her without blinking.

Situ Xin felt awkward and stopped what she was doing. "Ahem, I’m going to change clothes now. Shouldn’t you step out for a moment?"

"Do I need to step out? Baby. I’ve seen every part of you," Xiao Muli had no intention to get up and leave. Not only did he not want to leave, but he also said teasing words with a smile that drove Situ Xin nuts.

"Xiao Muli, you," Situ Xin said, her cheeks flushing red as she looked at Xiao Muli annoyed—he was becoming increasingly shameless in front of her.

"Baby, don’t be angry, I’m just telling the truth. Think about it, didn’t we lay everything on the table yesterday? We even engaged in such intimate actions, so me watching you change clothes is nothing," Xiao Muli said with righteous indignation.

But Situ Xin was so irate she felt like smoke was about to come out of her head. She was a girl, no, a woman. Wasn’t it okay for her to feel embarrassed? She certainly wasn’t as thick-skinned as Xiao Muli. "Xiao Muli, go outside right now, or I will change in the bathroom," she said, moving to get off the bed.

"Hey, hey, okay, Baby, I’m going out, I’m going out—is that okay now? You’re still weak in the legs, so why don’t you change here," said Xiao Muli as he teased Situ Xin. Seeing her fluff up like that, he quickly surrendered.

Xiao Muli didn’t stay in the room but went into the bathroom instead. Only after she saw that Xiao Muli had obediently gone into the bathroom did Situ Xin start to change her clothes.

The outfit was in her usual style of preference, simple and understated, in a springtime shade of pastel green. But Situ Xin wasn’t concerned about that now as she was busy slipping into her clothes. Then she lifted the blanket.

She had just thought of something very important but didn’t have the courage to do it in front of Xiao Muli, so now that Xiao Muli was not around, Situ Xin quickly lifted the blanket to check the bed for any bloodstains.

"Huh? How come there’s nothing?" Situ Xin flipped the whole blanket over, but there were none of the traces she was hoping to find on the bed.

"Baby, what are you looking for?" Xiao Muli, who had stayed in the bathroom thinking that Situ Xin should have changed by now, asked nonchalantly as he walked out of the bathroom just when Situ Xin was earnestly searching for bloodstains on the bed.

And Situ Xin, absorbed in her search, replied without thinking much to Xiao Muli’s question: "Oh, I’m looking for that bloodstain."

As soon as Situ Xin finished speaking, she realized what she had said and immediately felt awkward. She frowned, stopped searching, and glared at Xiao Muli.

Hearing Situ Xin’s words, Xiao Muli knew exactly what she was talking about. "I’ve already changed the sheets. That sheet is folded neatly and placed on the sofa. I’ll take it with me later," said Xiao Muli, who had already planned to cherish and keep it as a keepsake.

"What? You’re going to take it with you, don’t tell me you’re thinking of keeping it hidden away?" Situ Xin looked at Xiao Muli with an expression that clearly wished it was not what she was thinking.

And sure enough, Xiao Muli nodded and said, "Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m thinking. This is evidence of our first time; I’ve got to keep it safe." Xiao Muli, seeing Situ Xin’s expression, figured it was best to drop the subject—if he continued, that sheet was as good as gone. "Alright, Baby, you’ve changed, so let’s head back to the Xiao Family Old Mansion. I guess Baibai is already getting anxious waiting for us outside."

As soon as Xiao Muli mentioned Baibai, Situ Xin remembered that she had left Baibai alone outside, and for a whole day and night at that. Worried that Baibai might be upset about it, she decided not to fuss over the sheet any longer.

"Then let’s go." As she said that, Situ Xin was about to get out of bed to find her shoes. However, Xiao Muli was one step ahead of her. There he was, holding Situ Xin’s flat shoes from the day before, coming up to face her, kneeling on one knee, and gently slipping the shoes onto her feet.

After putting on her shoes, Xiao Muli stretched one arm under Situ Xin’s knees and looped the other around her waist, lifting her straight out of bed in a princess carry. Unprepared for this, Situ Xin instinctively wrapped her arms around Xiao Muli’s neck.

"Hey, Muli, what are you doing? I can walk by myself."
