Was it you that night?
Chapter 246 - 244: Mr. Wuya, this is not right...

Chapter 246: Chapter 244: Mr. Wuya, this is not right...

"Otherwise?" Dongfang Wuya waved his hand, signaling Xiao Bai to hurry up.

Xiao Bai left Bixiao Tower with a puzzled face and headed to Simple Residence Courtyard.

Seeing him arrive, Shen Qinghe welcomed him warmly, "How come you’re here?"

Could it be that Dongfang Wuya sent Xiao Bai to capture her?

"The master said he was hungry," Xiao Bai was responsible for delivering messages.

Shen Qinghe was in the middle of preparing dinner, and upon hearing this, she said to Xiao Bai, "Then wait a moment, when I finish, you can take some to Mr. Wuya."

Xiao Bai thought that this was probably what his master meant and happily agreed.

Shen Qinghe made dinner swiftly, packed some in a food container for Xiao Bai, who joyfully carried it back to Bixiao Tower.

Dongfang Wuya, however, looked behind him and asked, "Where’s Shen Qinghe?"

Only then did Xiao Bai belatedly realize what was going on, could it be that the master wanted to see Fairy Qinghe and said he was hungry as a way to give Fairy Qinghe an excuse to come see him?

He steeled himself and replied, "Fairy Qinghe, upon knowing that the master was hungry, made delicious food for him right away. However, Fairy Qinghe was entangled with Fairy Zhiyao and couldn’t get away, so I came back first."

After hearing Xiao Bai’s words, Dongfang Wuya’s gaze fell on the food container.

He took out a few dishes and found they were all his favorites.

"Consider her thoughtful," said Dongfang Wuya as he slowly and carefully savored each bite, finding the flavors to be excellent.

Xiao Bai quietly breathed a sigh of relief, having managed to get through the ordeal.

Serving the master was like serving a tiger, a single misstep could cost a life.

After Dongfang Wuya had his fill, he planned to take a walk outside Bixiao Tower.

Xiao Bai followed behind Dongfang Wuya, seeing through his master’s thoughts, "Why don’t you visit Simple Residence Courtyard? Fairy Qinghe must be missing you, but because she is too shy, she doesn’t dare to be too proactive."

The master couldn’t always expect Fairy Qinghe to take the initiative; he should take action himself, right?

"Enough, this lord will make allowances for her," said Dongfang Wuya, and as the words fell, he was already at Simple Residence Courtyard.

Inside Simple Residence Courtyard, the joyous laughter of the Shen sisters mingled with the occasional voice of Meng Yun, which was quite grating to the ear.

Shen Qinghe was telling Shen Zhiyao about the amusing encounters she had in Black River Secret Realm when she suddenly sensed the spiritual energy emanating from Dongfang Wuya and curiously ran out to see what was happening.

Seeing it was indeed Dongfang Wuya, she blurted out, "Why have you come, Mr. Wuya?"

Xiao Bai quickly signaled her with his eyes, and only then did she notice Dongfang Wuya’s dark expression, and she quickly added, "What a rare visitor, how does someone as important as Mr. Wuya find the time to come to Simple Residence Courtyard?"

Dongfang Wuya simply pushed past Shen Qinghe and went straight into Simple Residence Courtyard.

Meng Yun saw Dongfang Wuya enter and offered a suggestive smile, "It seems Qinghe understands you well, you just arrived, and she noticed right away. This is what they call a tacit understanding."

A thought crossed Dongfang Wuya’s mind, and he turned back to look at Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe felt a bit guilty.

The reason she knew Dongfang Wuya had arrived was because she sensed his spiritual energy, not because she had a tacit understanding with him.

Dongfang Wuya took Meng Yun by the arm and issued an eviction order, "It’s getting late, you may leave."

"What’s wrong with you? Why do you chase me away the moment you arrive?" Meng Yun was very displeased with Dongfang Wuya’s domineering attitude.

Dongfang Wuya glanced dismissively at Meng Yun, "What, do you also want to stay overnight at the Simple Residence Courtyard?"

Meng Yun, stimulated by these words, subconsciously looked towards Shen Zhiyao.

Shen Zhiyao was laughing carefreely, completely oblivious to Meng Yun’s unusual demeanor.

Shen Qinghe, however, noticed it. Meng Yun’s gaze towards Shen Zhiyao was different from before, but Zhiyao, being out of it, was unaware of Meng Yun’s interest in her.

Eventually, Shen Zhiyao realized that both Shen Qinghe and Meng Yun were looking at her and, feeling perplexed, she asked, "What’s wrong?"

Meng Yun felt slightly uncomfortable and stood up to take his leave and left.

Watching Meng Yun, the eyesore, walk away, Dongfang Wuya then told Shen Zhiyao, "You can leave now."

Shen Zhiyao thought to herself about her bad luck. It was her and Qinghe’s residence, yet with the arrival of this bandit Dongfang Wuya, she was being kicked out too.

She ran back to her own bedroom, hoping Qinghe would give Dongfang Wuya a harder time.

If she was at the bottom of the food chain, then without a doubt, Qinghe was at the top. No matter how arrogant Wuya was, he had to consider Qinghe’s feelings.

With this thought, she felt instant emotional equilibrium.

As soon as Shen Zhiyao left, Dongfang Wuya addressed Shen Qinghe, "Shen Qinghe, what’s with your behavior?"

Shen Qinghe looked clueless, "What’s up with me?"

"Didn’t you say you had something to give to me? Can’t you show a bit of sincerity?" Dongfang Wuya looked at Shen Qinghe with haughty eyes.

Shen Qinghe hadn’t expected his visit was for this reason. Holding back a smile, she said, "I have recorded the content, but I still need to organize it."

"What do you mean by that?"

Shen Qinghe explained, "It’s like this, I got a jade box in the Black River Secret Realm. The box was empty, and another box with an Immortal Pill was taken by Nan Sheng. After that, I took a nap and entered a space made of jade stone. Inside, there were four Secret Manuals, one of which was the ’Ancient Divine Mantra.’ I was so captivated that I lost track of time, and I almost didn’t get out of the secret realm in time. It’s too late today, and I can’t organize the Secret Manual. I’ll hand the Divine Art over to you once I’ve got it sorted."

After listening to her explanation, Dongfang Wuya didn’t insist further, "Fine, I’ll wait in the Simple Residence Courtyard."

Having said that, he headed towards Shen Qinghe’s bedroom.

Shen Qinghe quickly followed him, "Mr. Wuya, this isn’t right..."

Dongfang Wuya turned to look at Shen Qinghe, reminding her in a courteous manner, "Walk slowly, don’t trip and fall."

Shen Qinghe felt that Dongfang Wuya at this moment seemed very approachable, so she smiled and said again, "Mr. Wuya, you should go back to Bixiao Tower, this is my bedroom..."

"I’ve slept in your bedroom before, haven’t I?" Dongfang Wuya interrupted Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe nodded, "Yes, but..."

"So what’s the difference between sleeping here one more time or two more times?" Dongfang Wuya again asked her, politely.

Shen Qinghe didn’t know how to respond for a moment. It seemed like there wasn’t much difference?

"Since there’s no difference, do you have any more questions?" Dongfang Wuya asked again.

It took Shen Qinghe a while to find her voice, "But in the past, we were engaged, and now we’re not in that kind of relationship anymore, so it’s not appropriate for you to stay here..."

"You’re unmarried, and I am unmarried. We still have the relationship of an unwed man and woman. I am merely sleeping on your bed—do you need to be so petty? Shen Qinghe, don’t forget that I am your life-saving benefactor!" Dongfang Wuya spoke then pushed past the woman blocking his way and entered Shen Qinghe’s bedroom with regal poise, lying down on her bed.

Shen Qinghe stood in front of her own bedroom, looking at the man lying on her bed, feeling like the world had become fantastical.

"If you want to come over and sleep together, I might just tolerate it begrudgingly."
