When Miao Chan heard that Ye Fei was leaving, a pang of reluctance tugged at her heart. However, feeling uncomfortable from the stickiness between her legs, she knew she couldn't follow him. Besides, she still had her mission to attend to. "I need to clean up the valley residence," she said, no longer addressing Ye Fei as "benefactor," perhaps because of their newfound intimacy. "Do you still have the strength to walk?"
Ye Fei didn't press her. He leaned down and kissed each of her exposed breasts, which were still uncovered by her robe, and grinned. "They've given me boundless energy. If you don't want to come with me, we'll meet again someday." With that, he helped Miao Chan adjust her robes and guided her to sit down before leaving. The forest wasn't home to any dangerous beasts, and as a disciple of Cihang Jingzhai, she was unlikely to encounter any trouble.
