Chapter 134
After they agreed, Xue Xue lowered her head and walked ahead like a maid, leading the way for Lin Tian.
As they went upstairs, they passed a few Star Group mbers and servants. None of them ca forward to question it when they saw Xue Xue bringing Lin Tian along.
Usually, no n were allowed on the floor where Xuan Yuan Qingya lived, but since Xue Xue was leading Lin Tian, there was no problem.
Neither of them said a word the entire way.
It wasn’t until they reached Xuan Yuan Qingya’s door that Xue Xue cautiously looked at Lin Tian and spoke softly.
“Lin Tian, wait here for a mont. I’ll go in and see if Xiao Ya is awake.”
“All right, thank you.”
Lin Tian nodded politely.
After Xue Xue pushed the door open and went inside, Lin Tian leaned against the outside wall, feeling bored.
Her behavior seed strange to him, though not abnormal.
After all, running into soone downstairs who once scared you so badly that you fainted, but who also carried you to the hospital, would naturally stir up so emotions.
In Lin Tian’s eyes, Xue Xue probably just took the initiative to lead the way for Xuan Yuan Qingya’s sake.
Still, this little girl, Xue Xue… No wonder she’s the only one who sticks so closely to Jiang Yifeng. With a personality this soft and gentle, she’s absolutely perfect wife material.
Lin Tian thought to himself, feeling a hint of emotion.
In the original story, Xue Xue’s bond with Jiang Yifeng, and her eventual inclusion in his harem, was primarily tied to Xuan Yuan Qingya.
Now that Xuan Yuan Qingya and Jiang Yifeng had fallen out completely, though, the question of whether Xue Xue would end up with Jiang Yifeng was up in the air.
…
A few minutes later, the door opened slightly and Xue Xue peeked her head out, speaking softly.
“Lin Tian, Xiao Ya is awake. You can co in now.”
“All right.”
Lin Tian nodded slightly, pushed the door open, and stepped inside.
Xuan Yuan Qingya’s voice ca from within the bedroom—tired yet tinged with delight.
“Lin Tian, what brings you here? Give a mont. I’ll freshen up.”
“No rush! Take your ti!”
Lin Tian quickly replied.
He had been in a hurry to get back and follow the plot’s developnt when he ca yesterday, so he hadn’t stayed long in Xuan Yuan Qingya’s bedroom. Even though he had been there twice, he only had a rough impression of it.
Now that he had so free ti, he could finally take a good look at the enormous bedroom.
In fact, calling it a bedroom was misleading. It was more like a four-room suite with a master bedroom, secondary bedroom, two bathrooms, two studies, a dressing room, and a walk-in closet.
Half of the second floor of the villa belonged to Xuan Yuan Qingya’s “bedroom.”
A delicate fragrance, reminiscent of orchids with a hint of peach, drifted through every corner of the space.
Lin Tian looked around for a mont, then casually picked a sofa and sat down. Xue Xue stood beside him, looking cautious and reserved.
Seeing the girl act this way made Lin Tian chuckle.
“Sit down. Why are you standing there?”
“Okay…”
Xue Xue’s body trembled slightly as she quickly found a spot that was neither too close nor too far away and sat down.
Even seated, she looked tense. Her legs were pressed tightly together, and her whole body was stiff with nervousness.
Lin Tian couldn’t tell if she was nervous because of his presence or if she was just naturally this reserved.
Soon, Xuan Yuan Qingya erged from the innermost bedroom with an exceptionally clear and radiant smile on her face.
Even though she had already freshened up, there was still a trace of laziness and drowsiness lingering between Xuan Yuan Qingya’s brows because she had just woken up. Gone was her usual pride and noble aura.
On a woman like Xuan Yuan Qingya, who normally dominated the room with her lofty presence, such an expression of languidness and sleepiness carried an almost terrifying allure.
Still, Lin Tian had seen quite a few different sides of Xuan Yuan Qingya by now.
He had even seen her act girlishly before. So, while this just-woken look was undeniably captivating, Lin Tian could still compose himself.
Xuan Yuan Qingya walked gracefully toward him, dressed in an adorable ensemble that fell sowhere between sleepwear and formal attire.
The cute dress she wore accentuated her flawless figure perfectly. Her fair, slender legs were exposed, and her smooth skin glead faintly under the light. One could easily imagine just how soft and delicate it felt.
“Lin Tian, is there sothing you need from ?”
Xuan Yuan Qingya clasped her hands behind her back and tilted her small head slightly. Her thick, dark hair was loosely pinned up with a single strand falling gracefully down.
She looked curious and sweet, and her tone was light and delighted.
Lin Tian subconsciously swallowed hard and glanced at Xue Xue.
Xuan Yuan Qingya imdiately understood that Lin Tian didn’t want anyone else present.
However, Xue Xue didn’t seem to mind.
She smiled and said,
“It’s fine. Xiao Xue is my closest friend. Whatever you need to say, just say it. She won’t tell anyone.”
Lin Tian hesitated for a mont, then spoke frankly.
“I ca to ask if you could give a few drops of that spiritual essence.” Whatever you want in return, just tell . If it’s within my ability, I’ll agree.”
“Spiritual essence? Sure, how much do you need? We only used two drops yesterday, so the rest is yours.”
Xuan Yuan Qingya blinked in mild surprise, then replied casually. Her tone was light, and she showed no hesitation.
Hearing this, Lin Tian was stunned.
“You…you don’t have any conditions?”
“Nope!”
Xuan Yuan Qingya tilted her head as if giving away sothing as trivial as a pack of tissues, unaware of the true value of that spiritual essence.
Lin Tian couldn’t quite understand.
Hadn’t the value of that spiritual essence already been proven yesterday?
Just two drops were enough to save Xuan Yuan Chen and Lei Ming.
It was a life-saving treasure.
If anyone else had it, they would probably demand outrageous conditions in return, even if they were willing to trade so away.
However, judging from Xuan Yuan Qingya’s tone and expression, she seed completely unconcerned.
Lin Tian didn’t know that if not for his inner thoughts, Xuan Yuan Qingya wouldn’t have been able to obtain the spiritual essence.
In her mind, the essence had always belonged to Lin Tian—she had rely borrowed it.
Lin Tian had already lent her the spiritual essence to save her most respected fourth uncle and grandpa Lei. Now that he wanted it back, she would, of course, give him all that remained.
Looking at Xuan Yuan Qingya’s earnest expression, Lin Tian felt a little dazed.
Was she crazy? Does she not understand the true value of this spiritual essence?
That can’t be!
But…
Anyone who knew how valuable this stuff was would never give it away so easily, would they?
Especially without asking for anything in return?
Lin Tian’s confused expression made Xuan Yuan Qingya laugh softly.
She finally realized that she had only received the spiritual essence because she had overheard Lin Tian’s thoughts. But Lin Tian himself didn’t know that.
So that’s why he’s so shocked by my “generosity,” then.
Xuan Yuan Qingya thought this, and her voice softened slightly as she said, “Lin Tian, these spiritual essences are useless to . If you need them, just take them. At worst, you can make it up to later.”
She gave a graceful, playful smile, her eyes glimring with mischief.
“But if I ever need your help in the future, you can’t refuse, okay?”
Lin Tian’s heartbeat quickened instantly.
Her expression and gesture were so innocent, paired with her flawless figure and adorable dress. The charm she radiated in that mont was simply breathtaking!
Without thinking twice, Lin Tian nodded and said:
“All right. No matter what it is, I’ll agree.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he had a sudden thought—wait, is she going to ask to marry her?
Being tied to a woman as perfect as Xuan Yuan Qingya wouldn’t be a bad thing, but it still felt strange.
Hearing Lin Tian’s promise, Xuan Yuan Qingya smiled stunningly.
Then, she turned and walked back into her bedroom and returned with a box in her hands.
As she handed the box to Lin Tian, she said,
“I took the little monkey with the offering peach as a birthday gift for my great-grandfather. The rest is yours. There’s also that agarwood log I bought at the auction earlier. I don’t know how to use it, so you can have it too.”
After a brief pause, Xuan Yuan Qingya continued, smiling: “If you manage to develop sothing from it, just give a share. That’ll count as repaynt.”
Lin Tian was montarily speechless.
That’s basically giving it away for free!
Sothing worth over ten billion dollars was sitting right in front of him. For a mont, he didn’t know if he should take it.
But how could he give up the chance to unlock extraordinary power? Lin Tian couldn’t accept that, either.
Looking at Xuan Yuan Qingya’s earnest expression, Lin Tian let out a quiet sigh.
He suddenly understood the aning of the phrase, The hardest favor to repay is that of a beautiful woman.
…
“All right. Maybe I’ll have results soon. Once I figure it out, I’ll make sure you get a share.” Lin Tian spoke seriously.
Lin Tian said seriously.
Xuan Yuan Qingya smiled sweetly and nodded.
