Chapter 991: [1] I'm Not Lusting After Your Body
"No, my future expenses will be higher. I just wanted to tell you that I'm capable now," she seemed reluctant to end this transactional relationship, explaining why she showed Ye Wenxin the notebooks.
"I see, well, you're only at the Golden Core stage. If you need anything, just ask Fatty." Ye Wenxin casually offered, "By the way, I've refined some Grade 9 pills, you can take them."
Ye Wenxin habitually gave Huang Hanyan pills, and Huang Hanyan didn't refuse, even opening the bottle eagerly. The aroma of the Grade 9 pills wafted out, and Huang Hanyan praised, "Smells wonderful."
"Being Grade 9, if I keep working, I might be able to refine Grade 10 in a few years. I could support ten of you then." Thinking of Huang Hanyan as her last remaining disciple, Ye Wenxin joked to ease the awkwardness.
In that moment, Huang Hanyan seized Ye Wenxin's hand. The familiar scenario, yet with a different person.
"What's wrong?" Ye Wenxin reviewed her words, not sensing anything abrupt or unpleasant.
Huang Hanyan bit her lip, habitually restraining her emotions.
"Just say what you want to say, there's no one else here," Ye Wenxin prompted again, knowing everyone had desires, big or small, nothing too difficult to express.
Huang Hanyan's gaze finally met Ye Wenxin's, and she asked, "Is what they say outside true?"
"What do you mean?"
"That you became the Beast Garden Senior Sister's Dao companion."
"Uh..."
While the rumor wasn't unexpected, Ye Wenxin didn't expect Huang Hanyan to ask about it first.
"They also say you're the Demon Sovereign and Princess Long's child."
"Well..."
"And that you had an affair with the Zijin Sect Master, even threatening Feng Ya Xianzi."
More questions poured from Huang Hanyan, and Ye Wenxin suddenly regretted telling her not to hold back. Each topic was a loaded question, not entirely true or false.
Ye Wenxin showed an awkward expression, but Huang Hanyan's expression eased.
She leaned closer to Ye Wenxin, speaking very seriously, "I brought up these rumors not to confirm them with you. I just want you to know I don't care what you've done outside or how many you've been intimate with."
Huang Hanyan's tone and manner echoed that from over a year ago, and Ye Wenxin carefully examined herself, confirming no golden finger aura remained.
That meant Huang Hanyan genuinely liked her.
Seeing Ye Wenxin unresponsive, Huang Hanyan continued, "The reason I'm saying this is to ask, if I can reach the Nascent Soul stage, would you be willing to give me a chance? Even just as a lover, I want to be with you."
She knelt on the ground, devout like a worshipper, yet her words made Ye Wenxin's scalp tingle.
"I know this may seem sudden to you, but it's my true feelings. Once I reach Nascent Soul, I'll be independent. Then, I can pay back the debt, and I hope we can start anew."
