Chapter 72 - 060 Miss Qin Who Entered the Correct Password (Two-in-One)

Xu Chang’an held Yun Qian in his arms as they returned to their residence.

Several lotus lamps were lit inside, casting a bright light that left a graceful silhouette of Yun Qian’s shadow on the window.

Yun Qian changed her clothes, her breath slightly chaotic.

Miss Yun lay on her side by the bed, watching Xu Chang’an tidy up the fire basin in the room, and said, "Aren’t you going back to work?"

Xu Chang’an glanced back at Yun Qian’s strange outfit, his eyes twitching slightly.

The red and green floral dress was indeed a hideous combination, but in the end, it depended on the person. Yun Qian wore this bright red and green dress, paired with her loose long hair, giving him an inexplicable feeling of... a strange, adorable innocence.

"I’ll leave soon." Xu Chang’an sighed helplessly.

No need to ask.

This outfit must have been "wholesale" from Xu Chang’an when he was in Beisang City.

Xu Chang’an smelled the unpleasant scent in the room and suddenly remembered something. He walked to the center of the room, raised his hand, and a faint blue light shimmered between his fingers.

Yun Qian blinked.

A hint of humidity appeared in the room. As the humidity gradually formed, a ball of flowing water appeared in Xu Chang’an’s palm, but it quickly dissipated, transforming into mist that filled the entire room, as if turning it into a misty bathroom.

"What’s this?" Yun Qian gently waved her hand, her fingertips dancing in the mist.

"My Spiritual Power." Xu Chang’an manipulated the mist throughout the room and then gathered it all up, noticeably reducing the residual coal fire odor.

It reminded one of the freshness after rain, incredibly comfortable.

So comfortable that Yun Qian yawned, couldn’t help but take a deep breath, as her ears flushed slightly red.

Because Xu Chang’an only knew the Breathing Technique, he couldn’t perform advanced manipulation of the Spiritual Qi inside his body. He could only execute the simplest compressions and Sword Qi condensation, but as he expected, Water Attribute Spiritual Power inherently has a purifying effect.

"As expected, Spiritual Power is useful." Xu Chang’an turned back slightly smug and said, "Miss, am I impressive?"

"Very impressive." Yun Qian nodded.

"Daily perfunctory responses, that’s Miss’s tenderness." Xu Chang’an rubbed his forehead, then took out the damp scarf from his pocket, placed it in his palm, letting Spiritual Power surge like a washing machine, quickly cleaning the moisture from Yun Qian’s breath on the scarf.

"Not bad."

Xu Chang’an couldn’t contain his smile. Before reaching the Open Source Realm, his Spiritual Power was patchy and its only use was compressing into Sword Qi through the Energy Storage Technique.

Now, after entering Open Source and acquiring the Water Attribute, Spiritual Power has restored its original magical function.

Even though using it to do laundry might appear unworthy, it’s one of the functions of Water Attribute Spiritual Power.

After all, for humans, water besides drinking is most used for cleaning.

"Cleaned." Xu Chang’an handed the clean scarf to Yun Qian, but she did not reach out to take it, instead sitting up slightly, furrowing her brows and asking, "How did you clean it?"

"Just cleaned it." Xu Chang’an looked at Yun Qian’s calm gaze, suddenly a bit confused.

"Earlier you said to bring it back to wash." Yun Qian said seriously.

"It’s just a scarf, doesn’t need to be that complicated."

Yun Qian: "..."

Seeing Yun Qian’s gaze fixed on him, Xu Chang’an hesitated and suddenly realized something.

If he took the scarf back to wash at Muyu Peak, he would have a reason to come back to Celestial Bright Peak to see her, right?

Washing the scarf isn’t the key point, coming back to see her was what she wanted.

However...

Given Miss Yun’s simple mindset, could she really think this far?

Xu Chang’an thought it was unlikely.

If Yun Qian wanted him to frequently come and see her... she would definitely say it directly rather than be roundabout.

Xu Chang’an blinked: "Should I take it back and wash it again?"

"No need." Yun Qian reached out and took the scarf from Xu Chang’an’s hand.

"There’s one more thing." Xu Chang’an thought for a moment, then said, "I just used Miss’s Jade Talisman to order several Fire Stones that can replace the fire basin for warmth. You should place them in the wall’s lamp stands; I’ve left space for you."

"Got it." Yun Qian nodded, then got up from the bed, put on her embroidered shoes, and walked to him, gently hugging him.

"Miss?" Xu Chang’an felt the moisture on his face, blinked faster, his mouth slightly curved into the smile Yun Qian liked very much.

"You can go." Yun Qian released him, then went to the cabinet, took a piece of sour jujube cake, and started to eat.

Outside, the sound of raindrops hitting the ground was chaotic yet not irritating, north wind nudged the window, echoing like a heartbeat.

Xu Chang’an sighed.

Miss Yun was always like this, stirring the flutter in his heart, then innocently and calmly letting go of his hand, making him unable to go forward or retreat.

He pushed the door open and stepped into the rain.

"..."

Shortly after, Yun Qian finished the sour jujube cake, looked at the empty room, inhaling the lingering scent of Spiritual Qi in the air.

She liked Xu Chang’an’s scent, just like she enjoyed hearing him talk and seeing his handwriting.

Therefore, she liked the scent of Xu Chang’an’s Spiritual Power too.

The sour jujube cake’s taste was mediocre, but... eating it along with the lingering Spiritual Power in the air was quite nice.

Yun Qian elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth, then picked up the scarf Xu Chang’an had cleaned.
