Chapter 175 - Li Moyun's Weakness

The gentle sunlight shone in the air as the sun was rising in the sky. The rays of light were soft and warm, bathing the woman who was resting on the bed in a gentle light.

Li Moyun had been holding the woman in his arms the entire night, feeling as if he held the world's greatest treasure. He could not help but feel a mixture of emotions, both happiness, bliss, but also heartache, as the woman had to go through so much growing up.

She looked frail and fragile as she was lying on the bed, her slender arms were reaching out from under the blanket, and the skin was beautiful and white, resembling porcelain.

Her long fingers were twitching slightly as she was about to awaken from her slumber, and her eyelashes fluttered.

Seeing her like this was making Li Moyun's heart overflow with emotions. He lowered his head and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.

Bai Rouyun slowly opened her eyes. She felt better than she had the previous night, her body was not experiencing a pain as excruciating as before, but she understood that it would take quite some time before it would completely vanish.

Slowly, she sat up in the bed. Her body was only wrapped in an inner robe, and the blanket pooled around her waist. The sight was extremely beautiful, and even Li Moyun felt slightly dazed as he looked at the woman in front of him.

Bai Rouyun rubbed her eyes and pouted her lips. She had been so exhausted the night before that she had slept heavily. Now that she had rested, she felt how her mind had cleared up, and it was as if a new world had opened in front of her.

Her path was clear, and she had gained the Tiandi Martial State, but she could not use it, as her body was already unable to handle the overwhelming Qi which laid dormant in her dantian.

She slowly stretched her body before her eyes landed on Li Moyun. Seeing him staring unabashedly at her, she could not help but feel a little embarrassed.

She could see the admiration within his eyes, and she became rather shy, but knowing that he liked her appearance gave her a strange feeling of satisfaction.

The two were silent for a moment before Bai Rouyun entered the washroom and changed into a new dress.

As she came out, Li Moyun was nowhere to be seen; only Xiao Long was lying comfortably on the bed with squinted eyes, as he was waiting for Bai Rouyun to reemerge.

Xiao Long had a mind that was similar to a child, but he was not capable of communicating with words. Even so, Li Moyun was able to understand most of its emotions and thoughts, but Bai Rouyun could not.

Seeing the little dragon lying on her bed, she could not help but shake her head in amusement as she went over and picked him up.

Although Xiao Long was the contracted pet of Li Moyun, it also really liked Bai Rouyun. It was not aware of what had happened during the time it had been within its egg, so it did not know that the one who had taken it away from the forest was her.

However, it could sense her importance to Li Moyun, and her gentleness and care had indeed won over its heart.

Seeing that Bai Rouyun had cooked food for him a few times, Xiao Long had long since cast his love on this woman.

When Bai Rouyun exited the room, she found a strange odor in the mansion, and she could not help but frown. It smelt as if something was burning.

As she went further down the stairs, she found that a dense smoke was wafting out from within the kitchen, and her eyes widened as she rushed inside.

Here she found Li Moyun fighting a losing battle. He was attempting to cook her some scallion pancakes and some bean soup, but it was seemingly unsuccessful.

Bai Rouyun looked at the helpless expression on Li Moyun's face, and she could not help but erupt into laughter. It seemed that while Li Moyun was indeed a genius, even he had a weakness. He could not cook.

Shaking her head, Bai Rouyun extinguished the stove before she took Li Moyun's hands.

"Go wash up and change your clothes," she said with a smile on her face. "We will go out to eat our breakfast."

Li Moyun nodded his head, and he looked at the food rather sadly. He had wanted to spoil Bai Rouyun, but only now did he understand that not everything was as simple as it looked.

Bai Rouyun could not help but smile as she saw the regret on his face. He hurried upstairs to change his clothes, and when he came back down, he saw that Bai Rouyun had somehow cleaned the disaster zone he had left behind.

Even so, her white clothes were still immaculate, there was not even the slightest speck of dust, and the scent around her was still as gentle and refreshing as usual.

Seeing her looking at him with a smile on her face, Li Moyun shook his head indulgently.

The two of them left the mansion, and as they did, Li Moyun raised his head and looked at the door which was next to their bedroom.

A knowing smile appeared on his lips, but he said nothing, and Bai Rouyun did not know what he was smiling about.

However, just after the two had left the house, a shriek resounded in the whole street.

"You hooligan!" The voice belonged to Qin Huiling, and the scream awakened Little Chu, who had a headache.

Inside the room, Qin Huiling was currently resting on the bed, while Little Chu was sleeping on the floor. Clearly, they had not slept together, but waking up and finding a young man in the same room was a great shock to the young maiden.
