Chapter 545: Awakening, Embarrassment

It took Xiao Yufan half a day to grasp just a superficial understanding of the Dragon Mastery Secret Technique. Simply put, it was a cultivation method…

The internal energy grew stronger with cultivation. Xiao Yufan clearly knew that beyond凝功 masters, there were even more formidable existences—individuals capable of annihilating凝功-level internal energy experts with just a single movement.

The Dragon Mastery Secret Technique was also divided into six stages, each one incredibly powerful. Xiao Yufan believed that something nearly absurd like this would definitely attract a lot of people eagerly chasing after it…

“This could be considered a blessing in disguise!” A faint bitter smile flickered in his heart as Xiao Yufan temporarily set aside the Dragon Mastery Secret Technique—he still had plenty of time to study and comprehend it.

What he needed to do now was wake up as soon as possible. Although his body had already healed, if he continued to remain unconscious, his physical form might fall apart.

“Another day has passed. Do you really want to sleep forever? Don’t you ever think about your women? How can they feel safe knowing this about you?”

Just as Xiao Yufan struggled to open his eyes, a melodious voice suddenly sounded beside his ear. Clearly, it carried a touch of sorrow…

Xiao Yufan’s heart skipped a beat. Why did Huangpu Xian’er feel so strange to him? Could it be that this girl had actually fallen for him?

“Although I don’t know whether you can hear me or not, I still hope you can sense my presence. Women of the Huangpu family are deeply sincere about love; once they choose someone, it’s forever. And you—you are the man I, Huangpu Xian’er, admire most!”

Her voice, soft and filled with longing, poured out her heart. Looking at Xiao Yufan’s bare body, Huangpu Xian’er’s lips curled into a faint, bitter smile. Would this man be able to hear all of this?

“The heart of a woman is indeed the hardest to understand!”

Even a seasoned charmer like Xiao Yufan felt helpless upon hearing her slightly pouting words. This woman, whom he had only met a few times, actually harbored such deep feelings for him.

“It seems that having too much桃花luck isn’t necessarily a good thing either!” He sighed involuntarily, thinking about all the women in his life. He felt a pang of guilt—surely they had suffered greatly during all this time.

This sigh echoed clearly in the empty bamboo house. Huangpu Xian’er’s expression froze momentarily, filled with disbelief. Had she imagined it again? That shouldn’t be possible!

“Have… you woken up?” She asked tentatively, her beautiful eyes lighting up with hope…

“If I didn’t wake up now, wouldn’t I be ignoring a beauty’s sincere feelings? If I just kept sleeping forever, I might miss out on quite a bit of romantic fortune!”

His stiff lips twitched slightly. Xiao Yufan’s hoarse voice startled even himself. Then, slowly, his eyes opened, revealing the breathtaking profile of the beauty before him.

Silent words spoken in stillness—this moment, indeed, formed a beautiful scene. Seeing Xiao Yufan open his eyes, Huangpu Xian’er felt unexpectedly flustered.

Xiao Yufan tried to move his hand but found his entire body stiff. Especially when the medicinal liquid entered his body with a chill, he couldn’t help shivering.

Looking down, Xiao Yufan was once again embarrassed. Lying there naked, making eye contact with a stunning beauty—no wonder he felt the atmosphere was strange. But he couldn’t help it—where had his clothes gone, anyway?

“I’m glad you’re awake. I… I’ll go get you some clothes!”

Though overjoyed that Xiao Yufan had awakened, the current situation felt slightly too intimate for comfort. After a moment’s hesitation, Huangpu Xian’er spoke and then stepped outside…
