This wasn't the first time Ye Tian and Xiao Yaoyao had been like this. The last time, of course, was to resolve Xiao Yaoyao's hidden ailment and deal with the flare-up of Ye Tian's Pure Yang Qi.
This time, however, the impulse was uncontrollable. After a long moment, Ye Tian slowly released Xiao Yaoyao. "Yaoyao, this is a secret chamber. We should probably restrain ourselves while we're here."
Xiao Yaoyao's face was already flushed, and hearing Ye Tian's words made her feel even more bashful. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"I'm your woman. I'll agree to whatever you want," Xiao Yaoyao finally couldn't help but say. "Besides, it's *because* this is a secret chamber that no one will bother us!"
Her voice was incredibly soft, so soft she could barely hear it herself, but Ye Tian heard every word perfectly.
The surge of Pure Yang Qi startled Ye Tian, but he didn't try to suppress it. It would be useless to do so now, especially since the best solution to the crisis was standing right in front of him.
"Yaoyao, you're amazing!" Ye Tian blurted out, his words a jumble.
The two immediately embraced again and began to kiss, filling the entire chamber with an air of romance.
Xiao Yaoyao's Yin Qi was much weaker now, but it was still quite effective. Of course, he didn't forget to have her absorb his Pure Yang Qi as well.
They circulated their respective Spiritual Power, absorbing each other's special Energy. After an unknown amount of time, they both finished the process…
"Yaoyao, I know how you feel. Don't worry, I won't let you down! We should go wash up. You're covered in sweat; you must be uncomfortable."
"Ye Tian, I'm your woman. I don't ask for much. I just hope you'll always have a place for me in your heart," Xiao Yaoyao said. "You're so exceptional, I'm sure many other women will fall for you. This is my only small request!"
"I promise," Ye Tian said with utmost seriousness. "You'll be my woman for the rest of our lives!"
Ye Tian pulled Xiao Yaoyao into his arms once more and gently kissed her forehead. Neither spoke, and a long time passed before they finally separated.
Xiao Yaoyao walked to the Stone Gate. With a gentle press of her palm, the black stone she had previously placed in a groove popped out. The Stone Gate immediately began to RUMBLE, and a few moments later, it swung open once more.
"Let's go," said Xiao Yaoyao.
The two of them left the Gravity Chamber. When they emerged, however, it was already dark, which slightly startled Xiao Yaoyao.
"What's wrong?" Ye Tian asked.
"It's nothing. I just can't believe we were in that chamber for almost an entire day!" Xiao Yaoyao said, blushing.
Ye Tian felt a little awkward. "Hurry and get washed up. I'll wait for you here."
"No, I want us to go together!" Xiao Yaoyao said. "It's so rare for me to have you all to myself. I want to cherish every moment."
Ye Tian had no choice but to follow her. She had her own suite in the dean's office area, a proper lady's chambers that included a bathing room.
This time, Xiao Yaoyao showed no shyness. After entering the room, she closed the door, then stripped off her clothes right in front of Ye Tian and went into the bathing area.
'A question popped into his mind. 'Why didn't she bring me here for... that? The accommodations are so much more comfortable.'
The more he thought about it, the more unsettled he became. He shook his head, trying to cast aside the distracting thoughts and calm his mind.
"Ye Tian, what are you doing just standing there in a daze? Hurry up and get in! I've already gotten the water ready," Xiao Yaoyao's voice called from within.
Hearing her voice, the passion in Ye Tian's heart, which he had just managed to calm, flared up again. He held back for only a moment before walking straight in.
Xiao Yaoyao was sitting in a massive wooden tub, the surface of the water covered with beautiful rose petals.
"Yaoyao, this... this isn't appropriate. Why don't I just wait until you're done?" Ye Tian said, though his words betrayed his true feelings.
"You hypocrite!" Xiao Yaoyao said. "Your eyes are practically glued to this tub, and you're still saying things like that? Get in here, or do you need me to help you?"
As she spoke, she actually stood up, presenting Ye Tian with the alluring sight of a beautiful woman rising from her bath.
Ye Tian hesitated no longer. He quickly stripped down and joined her in the tub.
「The next day.」
Xiao Yaoyao was up early. "Ye Tian, are you going to stay here, or are you going back to your dorm? Your brothers haven't seen you in a long time. Your return will probably be a huge surprise for them!" she said.
"I think I'll go see Zhou Xiang and the others," Ye Tian said. "I've been gone for so long, I actually miss them."
"In that case, let's go. But you need to be careful of the people around you. You have a bitter feud with the Murong Family and the Ouyang Family, so you must be on guard against their vile schemes!" Xiao Yaoyao said, her tone serious.
"Yaoyao, I understand," Ye Tian said with a smile. "If anyone dares to try anything, I'll make sure they don't live to regret it."
