45: I have plenty of "firepower".

By day, the State Preceptors Residence changed from its usual cold and desolate atmosphere.

Lu Yi began to care for Wu Mingyue, who was in a state of extreme emotional distress, with meticulous attention.

He seemed to have become an incredibly patient older brother.

He accompanied her in the secluded courtyard, sitting there for an entire afternoon.

Lu Yi actually quite liked Wu Mingyue.

After all, before his Transmigration, he had always fantasized about having a cute younger sister like her.

So now, he couldn't help but want to see her become lively again.

He patiently played chess with her, letting her take back moves and cheat.

He accompanied her as she flipped through boring ancient books, softly explaining the historical allusions within them for her.

He even personally went into the kitchen to make her a few simple snacks that didn't look very good but tasted acceptable.

Under this unprecedented gentle companionship, the empty look in Wu Mingyue's eyes finally began to regain a hint of luster.

When she tasted that slightly burnt snack.

A long-lost smile, the first in these past few days, appeared on her face.

Her reliance on Lu Yi also grew deeper as a result.

All of this was taken in by the servants of the State Preceptors Residence, as well as Leng Ningshuang, who was silently observing from the shadows.

Leng Ningshuang's heart was filled with astonishment.

Her martial nephew actually... had such a gentle and reliable side?

She looked at the back of the person in the courtyard who was patiently comforting Wu Mingyue.

Her impression of him in her heart had changed slightly without her realizing it.

Night fell.

Lu Yi finally managed to coax Wu Mingyue, who was in much better spirits but had become more clingy, to sleep.

He returned to the courtyard where he lived.

He was just preparing to sit cross-legged and properly feel the rich Power of the Stars of the night to begin to Cultivate.

He could also think about how to win over his cold "Martial Aunt" along the way.

Just at this moment, he suddenly keenly sensed something unusual.

A bone-chilling cold energy was leaking out of control from Leng Ningshuang's bedroom not far away!

This cold energy was so overbearing that even the flowers and trees in his courtyard were being rapidly covered by a layer of white frost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lu Yi realized something was wrong instantly.

His figure flashed instantly, and without the slightest hesitation, he rushed directly toward Leng Ningshuang's bedroom.

He knocked on the door for a while, seeing no response, and then kicked open the tightly closed door with one foot.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Leng Ningshuang curled up on the bed, shivering.

He immediately realized that this was likely the common cold energy outburst of a heroine in a novel plot.

What a coincidence.

He had just been thinking about how to win her over, and this affection-building event had delivered itself to his doorstep.

Inside the room, frost was already everywhere, like an ice cellar.

Leng Ningshuang was sitting cross-legged on the bed, her whole body covered by a thick layer of ice crystals emitting a faint blue light.

Lu Yi didn't think much, immediately stepped forward, went behind her, and pressed his palms heavily against her cold and smooth back.

Immediately, he channeled his extremely Yang and rigid Star Immortal Body power, without reservation, continuously into her body!

His power happened to be able to restrain this cold energy.

Two completely different, yet equally extreme powers began to clash fiercely within Leng Ningshuang's body.

The thick layer of ice crystals on her body began to melt rapidly under the impact of the Power of the Stars, turning into steaming, scalding white water vapor.

The water vapor slowly soaked both their clothes completely, sticking tightly to their bodies.

In this hazy water mist, Leng Ningshuang's skin seemed to emit a luster like mutton-fat jade.

It is unknown how much time passed, but the terrifying cold energy that had been rampaging in her body was finally forcibly suppressed back into the depths of her Dantian by Lu Yi's overbearing Power of the Stars.

And Leng Ningshuang, due to exhaustion and the violent clash of the two powers, could no longer hold on, let out a muffled groan, and completely passed out.

Lu Yi's consumption at this moment was also huge; after all, there was a full major Realm difference between them.

It was still somewhat strenuous for Lu Yi to operate, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Then he looked at Leng Ningshuang, who had fallen into a coma.

After a moment of thought, he simply took her soft, boneless, delicate body and held it directly in his arms.

Continuing to use his body temperature and continuous spiritual power, acting as a "human heating pad."

The next morning, when the sunlight shone through the window into the room that had returned to normal.

Leng Ningshuang slowly woke up.

She opened her eyes, and the first thing that came into view was Lu Yi's handsome sleeping face, right in front of her.

Immediately after, she realized belatedly that she was currently holding him tightly, using both her hands and feet like an octopus!

Memories of last night gradually awakened.

She remembered the pain when her cold energy erupted and the sudden warm power.

Then she felt some discomfort on her body; it turned out that both of their clothes were still half-wet...

Shame, gratitude, embarrassment... various complex emotions instantly welled up in her heart.

She forcibly suppressed the waves in her heart, feigned calmness, and gently pushed Lu Yi's body away.

Lu Yi was also slowly waking up at this time.

Leng Ningshuang broke free from his embrace and said thank you in a cold voice:

"Th... thank you for your help last night. I didn't expect this cold energy to erupt suddenly last night..."

Lu Yi got up very calmly and stretched his somewhat stiff body.

Then, with a hint of teasing smile, he looked at the "Martial Aunt" in front of him who was pretending to be calm.

"It's okay, it was just a small effort."

He looked her up and down and continued:

"It seems that your problem, Sister Ningshuang, is quite troublesome. If it happens again next time, you can come to me at any time. Rest assured, my 'Firepower' is very strong!"

Then the two of them walked out of the bedroom together, preparing to change their clothes.

Because of the steaming water vapor from last night, both of their clothes were still obviously damp and wrinkled, looking quite disheveled.

And this scene happened to be bumped into by Wu Yang, who had come early in the morning to pay his respects to his Revered Master.

He had just walked into the courtyard when he saw his Revered Master, whom he missed day and night, who was pure and spotless, and whom he regarded as a deity.

Actually walking out of the same bedroom together with that guy Lu Yi, with their clothes in disarray!

Wu Yang only felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his mind went blank.

I only just moved in, how did he end up in the same room as Revered Master?

Jealousy and anger erupted in his heart like a volcano, burning his reason to ashes.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he pointed his trembling finger at the two people in front of him.

Then, in a tone of interrogation bordering on a breakdown, he roared:

"You... what did you do last night?!"
