Chapter 184: Yan Yuehua's Answer

"Good morning," Xu Qianghua greeted her with a smile. "From the looks of it, the mission was a complete success?"

"Yes, Master," Yan Yuehua nodded, her face lighting up as she eagerly shared the details.

Feng Yu and Feng Qian had been there as well, and they chimed in with additional details whenever necessary.

By the end of it, Xu Qianghua could only sigh. "So much for wanting a peaceful world," he muttered, shaking his head.

Yan Yuehua and the other ladies looked at him in confusion.

"Master?" Feng Yu asked, tilting her head.

"What do you mean by that, Master?" Feng Qian asked, concern evident in her voice.

"Hmm, how can I explain this..." Xu Qianghua paused, thinking deeply.

"You see, I knew the world would slowly become a place where strength ruled and conflicts would inevitably lead to violence.

But I had hoped that people would simply enjoy the new world in peace, growing alongside it.

From the looks of things, though, people in power are never satisfied, no matter the world," he said, sighing once more.

"Master..." Feng Qian, the eldest of the ladies, could only look at him in dismay.

"I guess we can't really blame them," Xu Qianghua added, his tone trying to lift the mood. "Everyone has the right to make their own choices and live according to their desires."

Feng Yu looked thoughtful for a moment before asking, "Master, if that's the case, are we going to try to revert the world to how it was before? Like the last world?"

At this, everyone in the room shook their heads, and Feng Qian responded, "Sister, haven't you read all those cultivation novels?

There's never been a force that could restrain cultivators and make them behave like mortals."

"But the world is different from those stories, right? We have the power to stop the warring, and we could use it to improve the world. Wouldn't that be better?" Feng Yu countered, her eyes wide with hope.

So he was not surprised by this arrangement, but instead, it helped him as he did not have to leave the room itself to head to the bedroom.

"Are you ready?" he asked, his eyes locked on hers.

Yan Yuehua took a deep breath before nodding. "Yes."

Xu Qianghua could see the determination in her eyes, making him smile. She was taking this seriously, just like the other ladies had. While he was happy to see that, some of him still felt slightly concerned.

Sensing his hesitation, he sat on the bed and gently pulled her onto his lap, caressing her cheek with his thumb. "Relax. Everything will be fine," he reassured her.

To ease the tension, he kissed her again, letting her grow more accustomed to the intimacy. Her face flushed even deeper, but when he pulled away, her eyes fluttered open, meeting his gaze.

"A-are we are going to...?" her voice trailed off, leaving the question unspoken but understood.

"Do you want to?" Xu Qianghua asked softly, tilting his head slightly.

Yan Yuehua hesitated, her cheeks glowing red. "I-if you don't want to, I understand," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

She didn't want to force him into anything, especially since she still felt uncertain about her own desires.

Xu Qianghua chuckled gently, shaking his head. "You're overthinking this, Yan'er. We can do it if you want to."

Yan Yuehua bit her lip, but then she nodded with more confidence. "I do want to."

Xu Qianghua's smile widened as he slowly stood up, lifting her in his arms as he did. "Alright, then."

He carried her to the bathroom attached to the bedroom, planning to take a bath together before anything else.

Yan Yuehua felt his warmth against her, and she buried her face in his chest, imagining what might happen next.

Her mind raced, but she trusted him completely. Whatever happened next, she was ready.

And while she was thinking about this, Xu Qianghua had already arrived at the bathroom, and with a snap of his fingers, the clothes covering their bodies disappeared.
