Fragrance wafted out of the kitchen.

There was a large piece of beef cooking in the pot, and Xiao Die was filling the stove with firewood.

Luo Qingzhou stood at the side, thinking about something.

Tonight, he finally confirmed who the person last night was, but… he did not know if it was her all three times.

Every time, he was in a daze. Not only could he not see, but he also could not think straight. The next day, he could not remember anything useful about the other party.

Every time, it was like a dream.

If it was her all three times, could it be that he was poisoned the moment he entered the room the very first time they consummated their marriage?

The person wearing the wedding robe was definitely First Young Miss Qin. There was no doubt as she had already admitted it.

The person sitting by the bed at that time should be First Young Miss Qin. If she wanted to scheme against him, he might have been poisoned long ago. After entering the room, his senses had already become sluggish. When the door closed behind him, Bai Ling also followed him in. Then… everything happened as a matter of course.

Xia Chan was so powerful, yet Bai Ling always dared to tease her. Moreover, everyone in the Qin residence treated her with respect.

Even his mother-in-law, who had a bad temper, treated her differently from others.

Obviously, that girl was not simple. It was probably very easy for her to hoodwink people.

Thinking of this, he could not help but sigh in his heart.

He wondered how long they planned to keep this hidden from him.

Were they planning to tell him the truth only when First Young Miss Qin left?

He did not care about First Young Miss Qin.

In any case, he had already made things clear.

The other party could leave whenever she wanted. He would not have any objections.

However…

After all, that mystery girl had slept with him. Today, he had hugged and kissed her domineeringly. He had started to develop feelings for her.

Of course, to her, perhaps he was just a tool.

Perhaps the other party did not take him seriously at all.

“Young Master, the meat should be ready.”

Xiao Die stood up and poked the meat in the pot with her chopsticks. “It’s very soft.’

Luo Qingzhou brushed the complicated thoughts in his mind aside and stopped thinking about it. He went over, took a basin, and scooped up the beef in the pot.

He cut it in half and sprinkled some salt on the surface before eating it.

Xiao Die only took a bite and said with a bitter expression, “Young Master, it has such a metallic taste.”

There were no seasonings or gravy on the beef, so naturally, it had a raw taste to it.

The little girl was not hungry, to begin with. After taking a bite, she washed her hands and returned to her room to continue embroidering.

Luo Qingzhou did not care about the taste now. He only chewed and swallowed. Soon, he stuffed a large piece of beef into his stomach.

It was snowing heavily outside, and the temperature had plummeted.

After eating the beef, Luo Qingzhou felt warm and comfortable. After

practicing a few sets of Thunder Fist in the small courtyard, he returned to the house.

It was still early.

He sat on the bed and closed his eyes to calm himself down. He focused his mind and continued to try to eject his soul.

It was as if a stream of air was generated in his abdomen. It followed the acupoints and went straight up. However, every time it rushed halfway, it seemed to be blocked by something and could not move forward.

Luo Qingzhou probed a few times until his head hurt a little. He stopped.

There was no hurry. He would continue to increase his Spiritual Power and strengthen his soul!

He took out the porcelain bottle containing the ink-black liquid from his spatial pouch and poured a drop on his fingertip. Soon, it was absorbed by his skin and disappeared.

He looked at the two bottles of Flesh Refining Potions that he had spent a lot of money to buy today and decided to soak his body starting from tomorrow night.

He would temper his body in the day and try to refine his soul at night.

He wanted to make sure that his days were fulfilling so that he would not have time to think about all the complicated stuff.

Since they did not want him to know, he would continue to pretend that he did not know so that everyone would not be embarrassed.

He had the protection of the Qin residence for the time being. He had to make the best use of his time to cultivate.

If he was kicked out one day, it would be difficult to have such good cultivation conditions again.

When it was almost midnight, Xiao Die knocked on the door in her thin pajamas and said shyly, “Young Master, it’s so cold tonight. Do you want me to warm your blanket?”

Luo Qingzhou lifted a corner of the blanket and said, “Come, I was waiting for you.”

Xiao Die hurriedly closed the door and happily climbed onto the bed. She crawled under the blanket and into his arms. Like a kitten, she meekly pressed herself against his chest and neck. She narrowed her eyes happily and said, “Young Master, it’s so nice now.”

Luo Qingzhou understood what she meant and said, “Yes, it’s quite good.”

Compared to living on tenterhooks in the Chengguo Residence, this place was naturally much better.

Xiao Die had food to eat and clothes. She could even learn from her friends. Everyone treated her very well.

To her, this might be heaven.

Luo Qingzhou hugged her tightly and made up his mind. Even without the Qin residence’s protection, he would work hard to have his own home so that she would not suffer any grievances again.

“What are you doing?”

He looked down.

The little girl turned around and placed one leg on his stomach. Her smooth little foot touched his hand. Her face was red as she said shyly, “Young… Young Master, touch..

Xiao Die stared at him speechlessly.

He did not hold back. He reached out to hold her feet and gently stroked it. He lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead. He said gently, “I don’t just like your feet, I like every part of you.”

“Young Master…”

The little girl raised her beautiful face and looked at him shyly and emotionally. After looking at him for a while, she bit her lip and said in a trembling voice, “I want… I want to kiss you… Is that okay?”

Luo Qingzhou started to snore.

Xiao Die stared at him speechlessly.

She pouted and looked at his closed eyes. She puffed up her cheeks and suddenly mustered her courage. She kissed him on the lips. Then, she quickly shrank her head into the blanket and leaned against his chest. Her face was hot and she did not move.

Luo Qingzhou opened his eyes and was stunned. He hugged her tightly and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. “All right, I’ve satisfied you. Go to sleep.”

Xiao Die hid under the blanket, her face red. She did not dare to move or make a sound. Her heart was filled with great happiness and rejoicing.

After an unknown period, the two of them fell asleep.

Outside the window, the snow was still falling.

A figure stood silently in front of the window for an unknown period.

After the room fell silent for a long time, she turned around and left. Soon, she disappeared into the cold night.

“Phew—”

The north wind whistled, and snowflakes fluttered.

In a study at the back of Chengguo Residence, Luo Yannian was still busy.

First Madam brought over hot tea and freshly made snacks. She did not disturb him and quietly left.

Carrying the lantern, she walked out of the backyard alone and walked up the winding and exquisite long corridor.

She stopped in front of the vermilion pillar at the corner.

Outside the railing, a figure appeared silently. He said in a low voice, “Sorceress Ba has entered the city today. But this time, she doesn’t want gold coins. She wants…”

The figure lowered his head and continued, “She wants two maidservants. Maidservants who have died less than two hours ago… and an intermediate demon core…”

Madam Wang still had no expression on her face. “Agree to her request.”

The figure was silent for a moment before bending even lower. “Madam, is this… worth it?”

Madam Wang retracted her gaze and looked at him. After looking at him for a long time, the corners of her eyes twitched slightly. “He’s a worthless and lowly person. Initially, it might not have been worth it, but now…”

After a pause, she looked at the snowflakes outside the long corridor. “Yu’er is preparing for the exam. He misses that woman. Even if he can’t have her… Do you understand?”

The figure trembled and bowed. “I understand. I’ll get Sorceress Ba to do it tomorrow. This time…”

Madam Wang narrowed her eyes and said, “Don’t leave any traces. You can take your time. Doesn’t she know black magic and how to exorcise ghosts?”

The figure said in a low voice, “Yes, she said that the scholar is weak and unlucky. This time, she’s prepared to cast a spell to scare that kid before making him slowly die of illness. She won’t leave any traces…”

Madam Wang did not say anything else. She stood there for a while more before carrying the lantern and continuing forward.

The face that had been hidden in the shadows walked out of the long corridor. Under the light of the snow, it was as gloomy as water.

The night was dark and windy, and it was snowing heavily.

A black shadow suddenly appeared on the roof of a house in MO City. Like smoke, it floated in the air and looked down at the entire city.

Its gaze quickly locked onto a certain mansion..
