106: Having sex with Binglan, you are extremely Yin in nature!

After dinner.

Just as the dishes were being cleared into the kitchen, Zhuang Yufen pulled Ye Chen aside and said, "I finished tidying up your room this afternoon. The sheets and bedding are all new; the two of you will sleep there tonight."

Ye Chen was stunned, and his ears immediately began to feel a bit hot.

"Mom, isn't there another guest room next door?"

"That room hasn't been lived in for too long, it's too dusty and hasn't been cleaned yet," Zhuang Yufen said, stealing a quiet glance at Bing Lan, who was peacefully drinking tea in the living room. "Ye Chen, tell Mom the truth, have the two of you not... lived together yet?"

A-Chen choked, momentarily unsure of how to respond.

Just then, Bing Lan set down her teacup, stood up, and walked over. "Auntie, we'll sleep according to your arrangements."

Zhuang Yufen's eyes lit up, and a smile instantly blossomed on her face.

"Good, good, good! Then you two should rest early; you must be tired after traveling by car all day!"

Ye Chen: "..."

He looked at his mother's gratified expression, then at Bing Lan, feeling as if a kitten's paw had gently scratched his heart.

The night grew deeper.

Unlike the brightly lit city, the countryside only had a few scattered streetlights and the occasional flash of a flashlight from the distant field ridges. The rustling of insects made the interior of the house feel even more tranquil.

The room wasn't large, but it was kept very clean.

There was an old-fashioned double wooden bed, covered with brand-new sheets printed with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in water. The pillows and quilt were fluffy, emitting the scent of being sun-dried.

Bing Lan stood by the bed, surveying the room.

Ye Chen's certificates from middle school were still pasted on the wall, a few old medical books sat on the desk, and a pot of green ivy grew on the windowsill, its vines hanging down, full of life.

"You lived here when you were a child?" she asked softly.

"Yeah, until I went to university."

Ye Chen walked to the window and pulled the curtain halfway. "The conditions are simple; I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

Bing Lan shook her head. "It's quite nice."

She walked to the desk, her fingertips brushing over the yellowed pages of 'The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon' and 'Treatise on Febrile Diseases.' Her gaze fell on the words 'Merit Student' on a certificate, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

It turned out that since he was a child, he had been a bit different from other boys.

Ye Chen rummaged through the wardrobe and pulled out a set of men's pajamas, handing them to Bing Lan. "These are mine from before; they might be a bit big, so you'll have to make do."

Bing Lan took them and looked up at him. "What about you?"

Ye Chen rubbed his nose. "I'll sleep on the floor."

Bing Lan didn't say anything; she just held the pajamas and turned toward the simple washroom partitioned off by a cloth curtain in the corner of the room.

The curtain was drawn, and the faint sound of water came from inside.

Standing in the room, listening to the pitter-patter of the water, Ye Chen suddenly felt that the atmosphere of this room he had slept in since childhood had become somewhat unfamiliar, and also... an indescribable warmth.

As long as he wanted to, he could see the beautiful scenery behind the curtain in an instant... Damn!

What am I thinking?

He hurriedly shook his head and pulled a spare set of bedding from the cabinet, spreading it on the floor by the window.

Just as he finished, the curtain was pulled open.

Bing Lan walked out.

The oversized men's pajamas were indeed loose on her; the sleeves were rolled up several times, the pant legs dragged on the floor, and the collar was loose, revealing a section of her fair and delicate collarbone.

Her wet long hair was draped over her shoulders, with a few strands sticking to her cheeks. The cold aura she usually projected that kept people away was softened significantly by these ill-fitting clothes, revealing a rare sense of softness.

Ye Chen's breath hitched slightly.

Bing Lan didn't seem to notice his distraction. She walked to the bedside, sat down, and slowly dried her hair with a towel, suddenly saying, "Your mother seems very happy."

Ye Chen snapped out of it, sat down on his floor bed, and said helplessly.

"Yeah, although she never said anything, I know she was worried I'd be devastated because of the divorce. Now that she's seen you..."

"A big weight has probably been lifted from her heart."

A pity.

It was all an act.

Bing Lan didn't say a word, but silently lay down, giving Ye Chen her back.

Ye Chen originally wanted to say something more, but since Bing Lan had already laid down, it wasn't appropriate for him to speak... He took his clothes into the bathroom, washed up quickly, and then came out to lie down.

But in reality... neither of them felt sleepy.

Bing Lan lay on her side facing inward, her breathing soft and slow, but Ye Chen could feel that she wasn't asleep either.

The night in the old country house seemed to have a unique magic, allowing the day's chaotic thoughts to settle, while also magnifying certain sounds that were usually deliberately ignored until they were clearly audible.

For example, the body temperature of the person beside the pillow.

For example, the faint fragrance in the air.

Ye Chen closed his eyes, trying hard to eliminate distracting thoughts and enter a state of meditation and breath regulation.

However... it seemed exceptionally difficult to calm his mind tonight.

The hard wooden boards of the floor bed pressed against his back, the occasional distant barking of dogs disturbed the peace, and that wisp of cold fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose was impossible to shake off.

Damn!

This is killer... After an unknown amount of time passed.

Ye Chen really couldn't fall asleep, so he simply gave up and opened his eyes, staring at the blurred shadows on the ceiling.

Just as he was about to sit up cross-legged to meditate... suddenly!

A trace of chilliness, like the thin mist of an early winter morning, spread out silently.

It wasn't the night wind.

The window was closed, the curtain was only half-drawn, and there was no wind outside.

This chill felt more like it was coming from the direction of the bed beside him?

"Hmm?"

Ye Chen's heart stirred, and he subconsciously turned his head.

Moonlight filtered through the half-closed curtains, casting a hazy glow on the floor.

It also happened to illuminate a section of Bing Lan's arm resting outside the thin quilt.

That arm was as white as jade, appearing shrouded in a nearly transparent halo under the moonlight... Something was wrong.

Before sleeping, Bing Lan's skin had a healthy fair color.

But at this moment, the skin tone of that arm possessed an icy texture.

Even... one could vaguely see patterns like ice cracks beneath the skin!

Wisps of cold energy were emanating from her body.

It wasn't intense, but it was very eerie... Ye Chen's pupils constricted, and he sat up abruptly.

Icy Skin and Jade Bones?

He remembered records in his inherited memories stating that certain special constitutions would manifest anomalies under specific conditions.

For instance, showing no signs during the day, but spontaneously appearing after falling into a deep sleep at night... Could Bing Lan's special constitution be this type?

Otherwise... the Azure Dragon Society and the Hidden Sect would never have targeted Bing Lan!

His heart was filled with suspicion and uncertainty. No longer caring about propriety, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a golden light quietly swirled in his pupils.

The next second.

The technique of X-ray Vision was silently activated!

His gaze instantly penetrated that thin layer of men's pajamas, falling upon Bing Lan's sleeping body.

However, what he saw was not a sensual scene.

In his X-ray Vision, Bing Lan's body seemed to have transformed into a work of art carved from top-grade cold jade, with a pure ice-blue luster flowing throughout.

Internal organs, meridians, and bones were all clearly visible under the reflection of this ice-blue light, yet they also seemed to be covered by a thin layer of ice, presenting a strange translucent quality.

What shocked Ye Chen even more was that the flow of blood and Qi in her body was far slower than that of an ordinary person.

This was definitely not normal!

Ye Chen held his breath and sank his entire mind into the depths of his sea of consciousness, rapidly searching through the vast, smoke-like inherited memories.

Fragments of records regarding special constitutions flashed by like meteors... Pure Yang Body, Mysterious Yin Body, Wood Spirit Body, Geng-Metal Sword Bone... No, none of them were right.

Suddenly, several ancient and obscure characters were fished out from the depths of his memory by an invisible hand, suddenly lighting up!

Extreme Yin Body!

The records of this constitution in his inherited memories were extremely brief and even incomplete, but the limited information already caused Ye Chen's heart to shake violently!

[Extreme Yin Body, rare in ten thousand years, the Source of Yin Malice.

Those born with this body possess natural Icy Skin and Jade Bones, their blood and Qi are slow and congealed, and they are immune to all poisons.

However, when Yin is at its peak, Yang declines. Without a supreme Yang object or cultivation technique to harmonize it, the immunity to poisons will be lost at the age of twenty-seven, and they will die young at the age of twenty-eight.

If a compatible method is found for Yin-Yang dual cultivation, it will be of supreme benefit to the path of cultivation, making them a literal human treasure medicine!]
