The two of them ca to the room.
Shen Lingdie brought a cup of water that had already been prepared to Chen Fan, "Here, drink up."
Chen Fan looked at Shen Lingdie with a puzzled expression and asked, "What’s gotten into you?"
Shen Lingdie smiled sheepishly, "Just looking out for you."
Chen Fan knew this girl’s thoughts often differed from others and didn’t think too much of it. He said, "Put it on the table, I’ll drink it later."
Shen Lingdie thought for a mont and nodded, "Okay, I’ll go get ready too."
Chen Fan asked, "Get ready for what?"
Shen Lingdie’s eyes curved into crescent moons, "To sleep!"
Then she turned and left.
Chen Fan couldn’t help but smile wryly, thinking that this girl really was unpredictable.
Having the strong sll of roasted mutton skewers on him, he decided to take a bath and change clothes.
Just then, a knock on the door sounded, and Shen Ronghua’s voice ca through: "Master Chen, have you gone to bed yet?"
"Not yet," Chen Fan replied.
Shen Ronghua imdiately said, "Then I wonder if I could take a bit of Master Chen’s ti, I have sothing I want to discuss with you."
Chen Fan went to open the door and looked at Shen Ronghua, asking, "Did Patriarch Shen have a quarrel with your wife just now?"
Shen Ronghua entered Chen Fan’s room, sighed helplessly, and said, "Well, the argunt was about Lingdie’s future, really. As parents, we feel it’s our obligation to offer our opinions and even make so decisions for her regarding her other half in the future. My wife thinks adults shouldn’t interfere and that Lingdie should decide for herself."
"I’m not saying my wife is wrong, but you know Lingdie; she’s too naive, even a little foolish at tis. Now, there’s a perfect choice right in front of her, and I’m afraid she’ll miss it, so I’m giving her a hand. Is there anything wrong with that?"
A shock went through Chen Fan’s mind, thinking to himself, could the perfect choice he ntioned be ?
Shen Ronghua sighed, "After the business with Lu Jiuxuan, I realized that I do respect Lingdie’s opinions, but I haven’t gone against her this ti. At most, I’m just going with the flow. Master Chen, do you see any problem with what I’m doing?"
Chen Fan gave an awkward smile, thinking to himself that after all this, you’re here to suss out.
He cleared his throat and said, "Well... that’s Patriarch Shen’s family matter, and it’s not for to comnt on."
Shen Ronghua said, "We have been arguing about this small matter all night, and it’s left parched and exasperated. It must seem quite ridiculous to Master Chen."
To ease the awkwardness, Chen Fan walked to the table, took the cup of water Shen Lingdie had poured for him, and handed it over, "Here, Patriarch Shen, have so water to quench your thirst."
Shen Ronghua smiled, accepted the water, and said, "Thank you, Master Chen."
He then downed the water in the cup in one go.
He put down the cup, gave Chen Fan a formal bow, and said, "Master Chen, even though we argued all night, I know that as a man, I should be more magnanimous. I need to go back and charm her, so I won’t impose further."
Chen Fan smiled and nodded, escorting Shen Ronghua out of the room.
After Shen Ronghua had left, Chen Fan took a bath and changed his clothes.
Shen Lingdie, with her hair down and wearing a silk spaghetti-strap nightgown, entered Chen Fan’s room, "I’m here to sleep."
As soon as she entered, she glanced at the cup on the table and saw that the water inside was gone. Her face lit up with an excited smile.
"The seller said that after drinking Qi Huan Powder, the effects would occur in half an hour. With the dose for one person, it could turn a man into a beast that loses all reason,
"But no matter, tonight I will make plain rice into a covered bowl with Chen Fan, and after that, he’ll be my man."
Chen Fan watched Shen Lingdie’s face turn from mischievous to gradually sleazy and shivered, asking, "Why aren’t you sleeping in your room? Why co here?"
Shen Lingdie’s daydream was interrupted, and her cheeks turned red in an instant.
But still putting on a brave face, she said, "I want to sleep with you."
Chen Fan flatly rejected, "No way, you better go back."
Shen Lingdie blinked her big eyes and said, "Then let sit here for a little while, okay?"
Chen Fan looked at her skeptically and said, "Really, just sitting for a while?"
Shen Lingdie: "Mhm!"
Chen Fan said, "Then have a seat, I’m going to cultivate."
After that, he sat down cross-legged on the bed.
Shen Lingdie sat down at the table, the corners of her mouth curving up slightly, "In half an hour, you’ll be mine."
Half an hour later.
Shen Lingdie was waiting until she felt drowsy, almost unable to keep her eyelids open.
She glanced at Chen Fan, who was still sitting cross-legged on the bed without any movent, and called out, "Chen Fan."
Chen Fan opened his eyes, "What’s up?"
"Do you feel anything different, like wanting to turn into a wild beast or sothing?" asked Shen Lingdie.
Chen Fan said, "No."
He got up from the bed and dragged Shen Lingdie toward the door, "Milady, it’s getting late, you should go back to sleep."
Shen Lingdie’s face was full of reluctance, "But, but..."
Chen Fan rolled his eyes and said, "But what? You still want to see turn into a wild beast? I don’t have that skill, co on, head back now."
After finishing his words, he closed the door.
Shen Lingdie’s face was filled with annoyance, "I bought fake dicine!"
She unwillingly took one more glance at the door, pushed it, and found it was locked.
"Damn it!"
Having no other choice, Shen Lingdie eventually went back to her room angrily. After muttering curses about the fake dicine seller and hoping they would encounter rising prices when buying vegetables, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep within a second.
Chen Fan activated his Divine Sense and, seeing Shen Lingdie truly return to her room to sleep, finally let out a sigh of relief, "No idea what’s gotten into that girl today, she’s so weird."
At that mont, his Divine Sense caught a glimpse of Shen Ronghua’s room and quickly retracted after seeing the situation inside.
"Look not upon what’s not proper, look not upon what’s not proper."
A trace of embarrassnt showed on Chen Fan’s face.
Without dwelling on it any further, Chen Fan entered a cultivation state and began his practice.
The next morning.
Chen Fan was doing his morning exercises in the courtyard.
At that mont, Shen Lingdie ca over again with a cup of water.
"Hmm, last night there might have been a problem with one of the steps, let’s try again today."
She approached Chen Fan and asked with concern, "Chen Fan, are you tired? Have so water."
Chen Fan turned to look at Shen Lingdie and said with a smile, "You girl, why have you been so attentive towards these past two days?"
Shen Lingdie said, "There’s no need for a reason to want to be good to soone."
Chen Fan rolled his eyes and said, "Just put the water on the stone table, I’ll drink it after I finish my morning exercises."
Shen Lingdie nodded, "Rember to take a shower after your morning exercises, I’ll co back later."
Having said that, she set down the water and turned to leave.
Soon, Chen Fan finished his morning exercises, wiped off his sweat, walked over to the stone table, picked up the cup, and was about to drink the water.
Just then, Dong Xiaoran arrived in the courtyard, her face beaming with a satisfied glow, and upon seeing Chen Fan, an excited smile appeared on her face.
