32: Yan Ruyu: I have a maid, she is very beautiful. Ip Man: Bring her here immediately!

"Me? Well, that depends on your performance from here on out, but for now, what I can tell you is that I don't dislike you." Yan Ruyu smiled faintly.

"Not disliking me means you like me, right? It seems I'll be able to win the heart of the Yao Race princess very soon." Ye Wen teased as he combed through Yan Ruyu's hair.

Hearing Ye Wen's teasing, Yan Ruyu couldn't help but smile again.

Looking at the beautiful woman smiling in the mirror, Ye Wen grew even more fond of her.

"Alright, your hair is done. I won't disturb you any further, see you later." After finishing combing her hair, Ye Wen left first.

After he left, the corners of Yan Ruyu's mouth curled into a smile, and she continued to apply her makeup.

Just as Ye Wen stepped out, he saw several women standing at the door wearing maid outfits.

"Greetings, Saint." X4

The four maids greeted Ye Wen in unison.

Seeing them, Ye Wen remembered his instructions to Li Daoqing. "Are you the maids sent by the Saint Master? You look alright. Has Yao Xi already given you instructions?"

"We have received instructions, Saint." The four maids bowed respectfully and replied.

"Hmm, then I have a task for you. Go in and help serve Young Miss Ruyu. Then, have someone boil some soup to replenish her Qi and have it delivered to her." After giving the order, Ye Wen left.

The four maids nodded respectfully at the departing Ye Wen again, then entered the room to serve Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu did not refuse.

After tidying herself up, Yan Ruyu had them assist her in going to the Hot Spring for a bath.

Upon hearing this, the four maids immediately took Yan Ruyu to the Hot Spring pool on the mountain.

Two others followed with a change of clothes.

...

After leaving the room, Ye Wen arrived at the central courtyard.

In the courtyard, Yao Xi and Weiwei were doing their morning exercises.

Seeing Ye Wen wake up, the two looked slightly surprised.

"What a surprise. You actually didn't stay glued to that Yao Race princess until the afternoon; this doesn't sound like you at all." Yao Xi hadn't expected her Little Man to be so restrained and not continue Dual Cultivation with that Yao Race princess.

Back then, she had been entangled by Ye Wen for days, and that Yan Ruyu was in no way inferior to her in terms of looks or personality.

For such a beauty, the fact that Ye Wen didn't continue Dual Cultivation truly surprised her.

Weiwei, who was on the side, felt the same way.

Both of them thought Ye Wen wouldn't come out until at least the evening.

"Your stereotypes need correcting. Am I really that kind of person?" Ye Wen looked at the two women helplessly. Could it be that in their eyes, he was just a man who did nothing but Dual Cultivation?

"Yes!" X2

Yao Xi and Weiwei answered Ye Wen in unison.

They knew exactly what kind of person Ye Wen was. Whenever he had free time, he would hold them and go to the room for Dual Cultivation.

Although it could quickly improve their Cultivation, they couldn't handle how frequent Ye Wen was.

"Uh… fine, you win." Ye Wen sighed.

Then he told them about Yan Ruyu's situation.

"So it turns out you're feeling sorry for the new sister, yet I don't see you feeling sorry for us." Yao Xi looked at Ye Wen with a coquettish pout.

Listening to Yao Xi, Ye Wen held out his hands and said, "Do you want me to carry you back bridal-style?"

Seeing Ye Wen's posture, Yao Xi immediately raised her hands in surrender. "No, no, let's do it another day." Yao Xi didn't want to be dragged into Dual Cultivation with Ye Wen first thing in the morning; although her Cultivation would rise quickly, she would have to lie in bed for half the day afterward.

Moreover, her Cultivation had been rising too quickly recently, so fast that she was worried about her Foundation becoming unstable, so she had to decline Ye Wen's invitation.

"Alright, let's not talk about this. Let's continue to Cultivate." Ye Wen stopped teasing Yao Xi and Weiwei.

Instead, he joined them in their morning exercises.

On the other side, Yan Ruyu was taken to a Hot Spring pool. After bathing, she changed into new clothes with the help of the maids.

Wearing a long white chiffon dress, she was brought by the maids to the courtyard where Ye Wen, Yao Xi, and Weiwei were Cultivating.

As soon as Yan Ruyu entered, she saw the three of them Cultivating and couldn't help but look surprised.

Seeing Yan Ruyu's arrival, the three stopped Cultivating and retracted their Qi.

"It seems Sister Ruyu has become even more beautiful and moving after a night of nourishment; I am truly envious." Yao Xi looked at Yan Ruyu with a giggle.

"Not at all, not at all, I'm not as pretty as you, Sister Yao Xi." Yan Ruyu gave a charming smile and returned the compliment.

"Why do I feel like you two are at odds the moment you meet? Do you have a grudge against each other?" Ye Wen found the two very strange; why did they act like enemies as soon as they met?

"How could that be? Sister Ruyu and I have never met before, how could we be enemies?" Yao Xi said, looking at Ye Wen with a seductive, teasing expression.

"Me too. Sister Yao Xi and I have no grudge. Saint, please don't overthink it." Yan Ruyu smiled faintly at Ye Wen, telling him not to worry about it.

"You two… do as you please." Ye Wen didn't want to press the issue; they wouldn't fight anyway.

Ye Wen looked at Yan Ruyu and asked, "Why are you out instead of resting in the room?" Ye Wen's concern for Yan Ruyu made Yao Xi's face twitch. What a guy, Ye Wen. You never showed this much concern for me. This Yao Race princess really is a vixen.

Hearing Ye Wen's question, a blush flashed across Yan Ruyu's face. "It's fine, I am of the Yao Race, so I recover quite quickly. Besides, I came to see you because I have something to ask of you."

Hearing Yan Ruyu's answer, Ye Wen nodded. "What is it? As long as I can do it, I will try my best to help you. Of course, it can't exceed my limits, though I doubt anything could stump me, right?"

At Ye Wen's answer, Yan Ruyu smiled charmingly. "It's not troublesome. I have a maid, she is my personal maid, and I would like to ask the Saint to help me bring her here. I still prefer having her by my side."

Yan Ruyu stated her request.

Upon hearing Yan Ruyu's words, Ye Wen was stunned for a moment, then realized—Yan Ruyu's personal maid, wasn't that Qin Yao?

He had actually forgotten about this little vixen; what a blunder.

"No problem. I'll have Wuming go and bring her back immediately." After saying this, Ye Wen left in a hurry before Yan Ruyu could even thank him.

Seeing Ye Wen in such a rush, even Yan Ruyu was a bit surprised.

Yao Xi saw this scene, then looked at Yan Ruyu and said, "Your personal maid, wouldn't she also be a great beauty? Otherwise, why would this lecher be so diligent?"

Hearing Yao Xi's words, Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment before realizing what she meant.

"This… Qin Yao, she should be… considered quite good-looking… but she is of the Yao Race?"

Yan Ruyu's answer made Yao Xi and Weiwei show expressions of "as expected."

"The Yao Race? He can even get his hands on you, a Yao Race princess, so another member of the Yao Race wouldn't matter." Yao Xi's words left Yan Ruyu silent.

It seemed she had just set Qin Yao up.
