There was a comfortable silence between them for a moment, the unspoken intimacy filling the air. Then, a playful smirk spread across Wang Xiangyi's face.
"Guess what?" she announced, prodding him playfully in the chest.
Wang Li raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. "What's that, Xiangyi?"
"Because of our little… cultivation session last night," she began, a hint of amusement in her voice, "I can totally feel it. My cultivation level has jumped! I'm almost at the peak of the early Nascent Soul Realm!"
A surprised whistle escaped Wang Li's lips. "Wow, that good, huh?"
"Yep!" Wang Xiangyi confirmed, her voice filled with excitement. "Just one more night, maybe two, and I'll be pushing into the middle stage for sure!"
Wang Li smiled, a knowing glint in his eyes. "That's probably because of two things, Xiangyi."
"Two things?" she echoed, curious.
