The plan
“Master, do you want to go fishing later?” Jiang Huai looked at Chu Xianning’s cheeks.
“No,” Chu Xianning shook her head gently and whispered, “I want to rest in the courtyard.”
“Indeed.”
Jiang Huai came up behind Chu Xianning, his fingertips gently touching her shoulders. “Shall I give Master a massage…”
“I want to sleep a little longer,” Chu Xianning’s voice was soft, but she didn’t seem to be deliberately driving Jiang Huai away. Jiang Huai understood Chu Xianning’s nature, so he nodded gently. “Okay, then I’ll go out for a walk first and come back tonight?”
“It’s fine if you don’t come back,” Chu Xianning pouted slightly.
“Doesn’t Master want me to keep her company even a little bit?”
“Not every woman… is like you think,” Chu Xianning poked his chest lightly with her fingertips and looked up at him.
Jiang Huai was speechless for a moment.
It seemed reasonable. He had been too presumptuous. In the past, when he had done bad things with Qingyu and Wanwan, they were particularly clingy. The root cause might have been their insecurity, which he attributed to not providing enough security. But Chu Xianning was not prone to such anxieties.
She just needed some peace and quiet when her heart was restless.
“Then I’ll come back tomorrow morning,” Jiang Huai replied softly. Chu Xianning nodded gently and said softly, “Go ahead.”
“I’ll carry Master back to the room first.”
“I can walk myself.”
“I always feel like Master walks a bit awkwardly when she gets up in the morning…”
Jiang Huai had already picked up Chu Xianning’s slender body. Chu Xianning reached out and gently pinched his ear. At this moment, her voice showed a hint of shyness and annoyance. “How can you still say that…?”
“My fault, my fault,” Jiang Huai gently hugged her body and placed her on the bed. Chu Xianning wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, looked at him with her eyes, and whispered, “You can go. I want to sleep for a while.”
“Mhm.”
Jiang Huai obediently walked out of the courtyard.

In Wen Wanwan’s courtyard.
At this moment, Wen Wanwan and her sisters were playing Guedon with Bai Li and Su Qingyi at a card table. The cultivators of the Eastern Region were fighting fiercely against the beast girls of the Western Region.
The thick fog in the courtyard had dissipated. Jiang Huai was lazily gazing at the blue sky from a lounge chair. It looked like the sun would come out in a little while. At this moment, he felt incredibly peaceful, as if he had completely attained enlightenment and transcended the mundane. Even the falling leaves floating in the air looked pleasing to him.
A falling leaf landed on his face, and he was too lazy to brush it away. He just lay there quietly, like a sculpture. The card table was chattering, and although it was a little noisy, the girls’ voices were pleasant, like birds singing, making it lively.
The winter had ended, and spring was quietly arriving.
A moment later, Jiang Huai was hit in the face by Su Qingyi’s fox tail again. In the past, he would have chased Su Qingyi around the courtyard and spanked her hard against a tree. But today, he was incredibly Zen, letting Su Qingyi’s tail sweep across his face. Su Qingyi was instantly surprised. “Huh? What’s wrong with you?”
“I’m fine.”
“Huh… you look like you’ve been drained. You didn’t come to Wanwan’s courtyard yesterday either?”
“Don’t ask,” Jiang Huai shook his head gently and grabbed her snow-white tail. “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.”
“Hey, stingy!” Su Qingyi immediately sat on him and reached out to poke his face. “Bai Li doesn’t want to play anymore. Come play a few rounds of Guedon with me.”
Only then did Jiang Huai sit up from the chair and become Su Qingyi’s partner, fighting against Wen Wanwan and Wen Fufu. The two sisters were full of tacit understanding, and Jiang Huai and Su Qingyi were easily defeated. However, after losing, Jiang Huai realized that they were betting on conditions, not Spirit Stones at all.
For example, Bai Li had lost and had to sleep with Fufu and give her a massage and shoulder rub tonight. Su Qingyi had lost and had to be held by the tail by Wanwan while sleeping tonight. And now that Jiang Huai had lost, Wen Fufu provocatively raised her little leg, her white and tender, slender leg placed directly on the table. Her white and tender little feet were slightly cocked, and she looked at Jiang Huai, “Brother-in-law… a bet is a bet.”
“I know what you mean, you want to be tickled again.”
“No way!” Wen Fufu pouted instantly. “Kiss me.”
Jiang Huai lowered his head and gently kissed the sole of her white and tender foot. Only then did Wen Fufu beam with joy. Wen Wanwan gazed at him with gentle eyes, her dark eyes cunningly turning. She asked him to take off his shirt and stand obediently in front of her. Then Wen Wanwan leaned closer and lightly licked his chest with her delicate pink tongue.
***
The Green Vine Spiritual Source was a divine object on the verge of transcending the mortal world.
When Jiang Huai took out the Green Vine Spiritual Source and cultivated with Wen Wanwan, Wen Wanwan’s cultivation level directly advanced by two small realms. Wen Fufu’s progress was even more terrifying. Her cultivation was not high to begin with, and now she had directly advanced by eight small realms.
It might also be because Jiang Huai accidentally mistook Fufu for Wanwan and bullied her one more time.
Even Bai Li’s cultivation level increased by a small realm. Tonight, Bai Li was not in her loli form but her dragon lady form, because the loli form of Little Bai Li was too easily bullied by Wen Wanwan and Wen Fufu on the bed. After transforming into a little dragon lady, she at least looked imposing and not easy to bully.
Su Qingyi was increasingly fond of joining in the fun. She was by their side when they were cultivating, but Jiang Huai didn’t bully her, so she just crossed her legs and watched lazily from her chair. However, when Jiang Huai went for a bath with them, as Su Qingyi shed her clothes, Jiang Huai inadvertently noticed that between Su Qingyi’s legs was a watery sheen.
“How about I bully you a little?” Jiang Huai came up behind Little Fox, hugged her tightly, and gently cupped her. Su Qingyi immediately clamped Little Huai tightly with her legs, pouting. “No sincerity, don’t even think about it!”
“Then what counts as sincerity?”
“Kneel down and beg me.”
Jiang Huai rubbed her legs in annoyance and then let go, no longer hugging her. Su Qingyi snorted and escaped to the other side of the bathhouse, tidying her tail.
Wen Wanwan came to Su Qingyi’s side and said something gentle to her. Su Qingyi’s cheeks instantly turned red, but she obediently turned her face away, letting Wen Wanwan pick her up. Then Jiang Huai saw Wanwan start to knead Su Qingyi with her fingertips. Su Qingyi closed her eyes tightly. After a while, Wen Wanwan carefully smeared the moisture on her fingertips onto Su Qingyi’s delicate pink ( )
Then Wen Wanwan shifted her gaze to Jiang Huai’s face and said softly, “Senior Brother Jiang Huai…”
“Huh?”
“This is what Su Qingyi lost at gambling with me last time. She had to be bullied on her buttocks for losing, and I won it for Senior Brother Jiang Huai.” Wen Wanwan winked playfully at Jiang Huai. “She agreed, I didn’t force her.”
Su Qingyi still had her eyes closed, not even daring to look. She just nervously and anxiously whispered, “You… you go a little slower…”
***
At night.
Su Qingyi went back to sleep. Jiang Huai slept with Wanwan tonight. They chatted for a long, long time in bed. Wen Wanwan talked about his relationship with Chu Xianning. Jiang Huai didn’t hide anything and confessed softly to Wanwan. Wen Wanwan snuggled against his chest and said softly, “That’s great.”
Wen Wanwan already knew, so Jiang Huai didn’t need to explain much. A moment later, Wen Wanwan suddenly thought of something and chuckled. “Senior Brother Jiang Huai wants to bully Su Qingyi?”
“There’s no rush for such things…”
“Then does Senior Brother Jiang Huai want to know why Qingyi doesn’t let Senior Brother Jiang Huai bully her?”
“I’d really like to know.” Jiang Huai became suddenly curious, but Wen Wanwan looked up with a smile in her eyes. “Does Senior Brother Jiang Huai really not know?”
“Huh?” Jiang Huai was confused.
“Qingyi is just tsundere. Every time Senior Brother Jiang Huai jokes about it, she naturally refuses. But she always jokes about it with Senior Brother Jiang Huai, hoping that Senior Brother Jiang Huai will bully her sooner… But Qingyi isn’t stupid. She knows that if she were to speak up first, this matter that is of little importance to Senior Brother Jiang Huai might not be cherished by him. That’s why she always hopes that Senior Brother Jiang Huai will seriously talk to her one day.”
“Although Senior Brother Jiang Huai always feels that your relationship with Su Qingyi is equal, it’s not really like that. Senior Brother Jiang Huai is already very, very powerful now. To Su Qingyi, Senior Brother Jiang Huai is already too distant and too high to reach. That’s why she worries about not being cherished.”
The bystander sees clearly. When Wen Wanwan explained the pros and cons to Jiang Huai, Jiang Huai suddenly came to his senses.
“She hinted at it in the courtyard that day… You’ve already bullied her mother, why aren’t you bullying her?” Wen Wanwan chuckled in Jiang Huai’s arms. Jiang Huai was speechless for a moment and gently stroked Wen Wanwan’s back. “So that’s how it is, I understand now.”
“You’ll be bringing Qingyu over in a few days, right?” Wen Wanwan looked up and said softly.
“Yes, the last month.” Speaking of this, Jiang Huai suddenly thought of something. He got out of bed, turned on the light in the room, and took out a small notebook. Wen Wanwan leaned in curiously and found that several pages of the notebook were filled with drawings. The first few pages were of Luo Qingyu in a wedding dress, as well as invited guests and the dishes and spiritual wine to be prepared for the wedding banquet, and the ceremony details.
Jiang Huai had always been afraid of getting married, and he always wanted to plan more for the things he feared. This was his plan. Wen Wanwan snuggled into his arms, and they carefully flipped through it together, discussing the details of Luo Qingyu’s wedding. As they talked, Wen Wanwan’s tone inevitably carried a hint of envy and a little bit of sourness, until she turned to the next page with Jiang Huai.
The next page was of Wen Wanwan in a wedding dress, and the style of the wedding dress was different from Luo Qingyu’s. A dedicated page was for design drawings. Jiang Huai leaned close to her ear and said, “It’s time to put it on the agenda. Wanwan, obediently come up. I need to take your measurements more precisely to prepare for your wedding dress.”
Jiang Huai took out a soft ruler and looked at Wen Wanwan, who was stunned in his arms. He gently poked her small face with his finger.
Wen Wanwan snapped back to reality, but her eyes became bright. She pounced on Jiang Huai and leaned close to his lips. “First, first kiss… let’s cultivate together once… and then measure…”
“Hmm? Two dual cultivations during the day weren’t enough?” Jiang Huai looked into her eyes and gently cupped her face with his hand.
“It’s all your fault, Senior Brother Jiang Huai. You suddenly, suddenly brought up the marriage…” Wen Wanwan leaned closer, her voice soft and sweet. “Wanwan… wants it again…”
Wen Wanwan’s chest rubbed against his chest.
