Chapter 657 - Nightmare (1/2)

After returning to his room, Yuan went to his closet and retrieved a basket of medicine.

”Are those the medicine you'd acquired from the Jaded Garden? Do you plan on tempering your body tonight?” Chu Liuxiang asked him when she saw the basket.

”Yes. Do you want to join me?” Yuan asked her.

”Is that even a question? Of course, I want to join you!” Chu Liuxiang wasted no time removing her clothes, stripping herself naked before Yuan could even prepare the bath.

”I haven't even prepared the bath. You should put your clothes back on unless you want to catch a cold.” Yuan said to her.

Chu Liuxiang chuckled, ”I haven't caught a cold ever since I became a Cultivator. I don't think Cultivators can even catch colds.”

”Anyways, I already took my clothes off. I will just wait under the blankets until you're done. You can join me at any time.” Chu Liuxiang said as she entered the bed.

Yuan couldn't help but smile at Chu Liuxiang's behavior that reminded him of Elder Shan from the Dragon Essence Temple, and they both give off similar vibes.

Half an hour later, once the bathtub was prepared, Yuan entered the green water with Chu Liuxiang.

”Have you ever tempered your body before?” Yuan asked her.

”I have,” she calmly replied.

”Really? Where does the Chu Family obtain their medicine?”

”They grow them just like the Six Spiritual Families, but they use a different method. It's even a little stronger than the medicine we're currently using. I will ask Sebastian to bring some over tomorrow if you're interested.”

”If you don't mind.”

”Anything for you, Brother Yuan…”

”Actually, can I just call you Yuan from now on?” Chu Liuxiang suddenly said.

”Eh? Of course, you can. But why the sudden change?” Yuan asked.

”Calling you 'brother' is obviously something very special for Yu Rou, so I decided to not take that away from her. She was the only one in the Yu Family who cared enough to take care of you, after all.”

Chu Liuxiang explained, and she continued, ”Furthermore, it feels weird trying to start a family with my 'brother'.”

”You can call me whatever you want.” Yuan smiled.

”Really? Then can I call you darling? I find that more fitting than just Yuan! It's more unique as well!”

”D-Darling? I think that's a little bit too much…”

”Eh?! Please! Everybody already calls you 'Yuan', and I want you to feel special when we're together!”

Yuan sighed.
