Chapter 55: Xiao Yu's Invitation
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
Miteer Auction House.
Ya Fei nestled in Xiao Cang's arms, her curvaceous figure outlined by the tight, semi-transparent gauze, creating a subtle and alluring beauty.
"Brother Xiao Cang, have you started growing a beard recently? Shouldn't you shave it off?"
"What's wrong? Does it bother you, Ya Fei?"
"Well, don't you feel ticklish?" Ya Fei pointed to the red marks on her thigh.
"Nope," Xiao Cang smirked, pretending not to have noticed, and playfully approached Ya Fei's thigh, using the stubble on his jaw to sweep in circles.
"Giggles~"
"It's ticklish, Brother Xiao Cang."
Ya Fei's laughter tinkled like silver bells, and her charming body swayed, creating a captivating scene.
After teasing Ya Fei for a while, Xiao Cang finally stopped. He picked up a bronze mirror, stroking his jaw with the beard, contemplating.
Indeed, compared to a month or two ago, he had grown quite a bit of facial hair.
According to some knowledge from his past life, the more frequent the intimate encounters, the more adrenaline and male hormones are secreted, leading to faster beard growth.
"Annoying"
"Brother Xiao Cang only know how to bully me."
Ya Fei laughed with tears in her eyes, playfully patting Xiao Cang's shoulder.
"If Ya Fei doesn't like the beard, why don't you help me shave it off?" Xiao Cang suggested.
"Huh? Are you serious about shaving it off? I was just joking, don't take it seriously," Ya Fei hurriedly explained.
"Oh... Ya Fei, if you don't want to, then forget it."
"Why wouldn't I want to? Alright, I'll go have the servants prepare the tools."
After saying that, Ya Fei quickly put on a red robe, walked to the door with her long, white legs, called a maid, and instructed her to prepare the necessary shaving tools.
A moment later, the maid brought the tools.
"Is Brother Xiao Cang ready? Sister, I'm starting."
Ya Fei served Xiao Cang as he lay down, squatting at the bedside, revealing a charming smile.
"Mmm."
Xiao Cang nodded, unintentionally glancing at Ya Fei's snow-white thighs and nearly uncovered stunning figure. He quickly suppressed any inner thoughts, closed his eyes, and said, "Go ahead."
Ya Fei affectionately moistened Xiao Cang's jaw with warm water, gently applied alchemy cream, then took a razor and carefully shaved his jaw, removing the cream and stubble.
As the shaving cream was wiped away, Xiao Cang's well-defined jawline gradually emerged, and Ya Fei suddenly felt a trance. This handsome and powerful man was her husband.
"Done, Brother Xiao Cang, take a look in the mirror."
After finishing, Ya Fei handed the bronze mirror to Xiao Cang.
Looking at himself, Xiao Cang felt the smoothness and remarked, "Not bad, my handsome and valiant looks are back."
"Tch, really..." Ya Fei was about to say something when Xiao Cang suddenly stood up, carrying her to the bed, and casually picked up the razor.
"You have helped me shave, so I should return the favor right?" Xiao Cang smirked.
"Huh? But I'm a woman, I don't have a beard!" Ya Fei was bewildered and hurriedly said.
"Who said I want to shave a beard?" Xiao Cang grinned.
Ya Fei shivered suddenly, stammering, "No, don't..."
Xiao Cang didn't intend to say more to Ya Fei. He grabbed her ankle, pulled her closer, and began the reciprocal act.
After a while, the task was completed.
Ya Fei looked at herself with a somewhat wronged expression.
"Sister Ya Fei, I'll tell you a story to cheer you up."
To comfort Ya Fei, Xiao Cang told her the story of the Four Holy Beasts, emphasizing the stories of the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger.
"Are you the Azure Dragon, and I'm the White Tiger, so we're a pair?" Ya Fei, puzzled, asked innocently.
"Yes," Xiao Cang smirked, nodding earnestly.
"I always feel like you're just fooling me..."
With watery eyes, Ya Fei showed an unusually pitiful look.
Shaving a "beard" – what did that have to do with the White Tiger?
Just as Ya Fei was about to ask something else, she suddenly remembered an important matter.
"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you something important. The whereabouts of the Ghost Lotus Soul Grass have been found. There are two in the Alchemist Guild in Blackrock City. However, it's a four-grade spirit medicine, and with the financial power of the auction house, it may not be affordable."
When mentioning the latter part, Ya Fei seemed a bit embarrassed.
"The Alchemist Guild in Blackrock City? No problem. I'll go myself." Xiao Cang smiled faintly.
With his current reputation and potential, he didn't need much financial power. A word to Frank and Otto, and they would most likely offer the Ghost Lotus Soul Grass willingly.
After all, exchanging two four-grade spirit medicines for the favor of an eighteen-year-old fifth-grade alchemist prodigy was definitely a cost-effective deal.
Considering the impending marriage and the lack of progress in Ya Fei's pregnancy, Xiao Cang decided to personally visit Blackrock City.
As he thought about spending possibly ten days or half a month away from Ya Fei, Xiao Cang already felt a bit reluctant.
So, he pushed Ya Fei down, one of the Four Holy Beasts, and said, "Sister Ya Fei, experience a completely new feeling."
...
...
In the evening, Xiao Cang left.
As soon as he left, Ya Fei came out.
"Someone, change the bed."
The servant went inside and, upon seeing the scene she was baffled.
Well, it seemed that Master Xiao Cang and Miss Ya Fei were quite... passionate.
The bed was even broken!
On the other side, a moment later, Xiao Cang returned to the Xiao family.
As soon as he arrived, the Elder came looking for him.
"Hahaha, long time no see, Xiao Cang, you've become more handsome and charming."
The Elder stroked his beard, laughing heartily, lines of satisfaction etched on his wrinkled face. Since the Xiao family, with Xiao Cang's help, swallowed various forces in Wutan City and rapidly grew stronger, the Elder hadn't stopped smiling. Now, looking at Xiao Cang, everything seemed pleasing to his eyes.
"Elder, you flatter me. May I ask what brings you here so suddenly?" Xiao Cang asked with a warm smile.
"There is indeed a matter. Today, Yu'er received a letter from the family, and it mentioned you. So, I came to inform you personally." The Elder said, taking out a letter.
"Oh? Let me see."
Interested, Xiao Cang took the letter and opened it.
The handwriting was elegant and graceful.
Most of the content was about Xiao Yu reporting to her family, sharing some daily anecdotes.
However, towards the end of the letter, she mentioned that the Canaan Academy would soon recruit students in Blackrock City. She intended to convince her fellow mentors to make a detour to the Imperial Capital Yunlan Sect, persuading Xiao Cang to join Canaan Academy.
According to her, Canaan Academy's resources would undoubtedly be better than Yunlan Sect's, and joining it could help Xiao Cang better explore his talents.
After reading the letter, Xiao Cang chuckled.
Join Canaan Academy?
It seemed that this girl was still unaware of the news that he had become the youngest Dou Wang in the history of the Gama Empire.
No, wait, now it should be the youngest Dou Huang.
But since Canaan Academy was recruiting students in Blackrock City, it worked out well. This trip to Blackrock City would yield even more benefits.
