Chapter 545: Awakening, Embarrassment

It took Xiao Yufan half a day to barely grasp the surface of the Dragon Mastery True Formula — essentially, it was a cultivation technique.

It took Xiao Yufan half a day to grasp just the basics of the Dragon Taming True Art. Simply put, it was a cultivation method…

As his internal energy grew stronger with practice, Xiao Yufan knew that beyond the realm of condensed power masters, there existed even more formidable beings. These individuals could likely annihilate condensed power masters with mere gestures.

The Dragon Taming True Art was divided into six stages, each incredibly powerful. Xiao Yufan believed that such an almost perverse technique would undoubtedly attract many eager followers…

“Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise,” he thought with a bitter smile, temporarily setting aside the Dragon Taming True Art, as he still had plenty of time to delve deeper into it.

For now, his priority was to wake up. Although his body had been repaired, if he continued to lie dormant, it might fall apart.

“Another day has passed. Do you really intend to sleep forever? Have you thought about your women? How can they be at ease like this?”

Just as Xiao Yufan struggled to open his eyes, a melodious voice suddenly rang in his ears, tinged with a hint of resentment…

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

“Though I don’t know if you can hear me, I still hope you can sense my presence. Women of the Huangpu family are sincere in love. Once we commit, it’s to one person, and you, Xiao Yufan, are the man I admire most.”

Her soft voice seemed to express the longing in her heart. Huangpu Xian’er gazed at Xiao Yufan’s naked body, a bitter smile playing on her lips. Could this man truly hear her words?

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

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

“It seems that too much luck with women isn’t necessarily a good thing,” he sighed inexplicably, feeling a pang of guilt as he thought of the many women in his life. They must have suffered greatly during this long period…

The sigh echoed clearly in the empty bamboo hut. Huangpu Xian’er’s expression froze, her face filled with disbelief. Was she hearing things again? That couldn’t be!

“Are you awake?” she tentatively asked, her beautiful eyes lighting up with joy…

“If I didn’t wake up, wouldn’t I be letting down a great beauty’s affection? If I slept forever, some of my fortunes might slip away.”

His stiff lips twitched, and Xiao Yufan’s hoarse voice even startled himself. Slowly, his eyes opened, and the sight of her stunning profile came into view.

Her quiet presence created a serene, almost picturesque scene. Seeing Xiao Yufan open his eyes, Huangpu Xian’er momentarily felt at a loss.

Xiao Yufan tried to move his hand but found his entire body stiff, especially as the coolness of the medicinal potion seeped into his skin, causing him to shiver.

Looking down, Xiao Yufan was once again caught in an awkward situation. Naked and staring at a beautiful woman, no wonder the atmosphere felt strange. But he couldn’t be blamed—who knew where his clothes had gone?

“It’s good that you’re awake. I… I’ll go get you some clothes.”

Though overjoyed by Xiao Yufan’s awakening, the situation felt somewhat ambiguous. After a moment’s hesitation, she spoke and then walked out…

The Dragon Mastery True Formula was also divided into six stages, each incredibly powerful. Xiao Yufan believed that something nearly abnormal like this would certainly attract many people eagerly chasing after it.

“This could be considered a blessing in disguise,” he thought with a faint, bitter smile inside. For now, he decided to set aside the Dragon Mastery True Formula, as he still had plenty of time to explore its mysteries.

What he needed to do now was to wake up as soon as possible. Although his body had already healed, if he stayed unconscious any longer, his body might fall apart.

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

Just as Xiao Yufan was trying to open his eyes, a melodious voice suddenly rang in his ears. Clearly, the voice carried a tinge of sorrow…

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

“Although I don’t know if you can hear me, I still hope you can feel my presence. Women from the Huangpu family are sincere about their feelings. Once they commit, it’s forever. And you—you are the man I, Huangpu Xian’er, admire the most!”

Her soft voice seemed to express longing from her heart. Looking at the bare-chested Xiao Yufan, Huangpu Xian’er’s lips curled into a slightly bitter smile. Would this man hear what she had just said?

“A woman’s heart—indeed, the most difficult to understand!”

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

“It seems too much good fortune with women isn’t necessarily a good thing,” he sighed inwardly. Thinking about all the women he had, Xiao Yufan felt somewhat guilty. They must have suffered greatly during this long time apart.

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

“Are… you awake?” She asked tentatively, her beautiful eyes now showing more delight…

“If I didn’t wake up, wouldn’t I disappoint a beautiful lady’s feelings? If I slept forever like this, I might miss out on some romantic blessings!”

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

In this quiet moment, she was a vision of beauty. Seeing Xiao Yufan open his eyes, Huangpu Xian’er unexpectedly felt flustered.

Xiao Yufan tried to move his hand but found his entire body stiff. Especially when the medicinal liquid coursed through him, sending a chill down his spine.

Looking down, Xiao Yufan was embarrassed again. Staring face to face with a beauty while completely naked—no wonder he felt the atmosphere was strange. But it wasn’t his fault, after all. Who knew where his clothes had gone.

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

Though overjoyed that Xiao Yufan had awakened, the situation was unavoidably awkward. After a moment’s hesitation, Huangpu Xian’er spoke and then stepped outside…
