Listening to Lu Tianxing's affectionate words, Bai Zhiqing felt her heart sweet like she'd eaten honey, but her face didn't show it. Instead, she gave Lu Tianxing a glance: "It's good you know what's good for you. This time you passed the test."

With that, Bai Zhiqing stood up, stretched lazily, and said: "Alright, Lu Tianxing, I've had a long day, so I'll go take a shower first."

"Shower."

Hearing Bai Zhiqing's words, Lu Tianxing's eyes lit up instantly, and he chuckled: "Honey, no rush for the shower. You know grandpa's been urging us lately, saying he wants a great-grandchild from us. Shouldn't we seize the moment and work hard at that?"

"Go play somewhere else, your head is full of dirty thoughts!"

Bai Zhiqing's face flushed upon hearing Lu Tianxing's comment. Even though she had shared many intimate moments with Lu Tianxing, she still felt a wave of shyness and couldn't help feeling her cheeks warm as he teased.

"Honey, you can't refuse this, and experts say that taking a shower after doing something enjoyable makes it even more fun."

Before Bai Zhiqing could react, Lu Tianxing stood up, rushed over to her, picked her up, and quickly walked into the bedroom...

…

Who knows how much time passed; Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing were already in the bedroom.

Lu Tianxing leaned against the headboard, lighting a cigarette and smoking leisurely, while Bai Zhiqing was snuggled up against his chest like a gentle kitten. Her pretty face held an indelible blush, as she exuded a unique charm like a begonia after the rain.

A moment later, Bai Zhiqing slowly opened her lovely eyes, which rippled gently like spring water, drawing one in irresistibly. Her cheeks still blushing, her entire being radiated a heart-stopping allure, making Lu Tianxing ponder whether he should put in more effort so that his son could be born by next year.

Sensing Lu Tianxing's change, Bai Zhiqing instantly snapped back, giving him a playful glare: "Lu Tianxing, you rogue! If you dare do anything to me, be careful—I won't be nice to you."

Thinking of the moves Lu Tianxing had compelled her to do earlier, Bai Zhiqing felt her cheeks burn. She was sure Lu Tianxing was a bad influence on her.

Lu Tianxing heard Bai Zhiqing's words and chuckled: "Honey, can you really blame me? You were clearly more into it than I was..."

Before Lu Tianxing could finish, Bai Zhiqing pinched his waist hard to interrupt him and said: "Lu Tianxing, if you keep talking, be careful—I'll hit you."

Lu Tianxing chuckled, not dwelling on the topic, and instead hugged Bai Zhiqing's slender waist, saying: "Honey, after tomorrow's events are over, let's go back to Modu!"

With a slightly surprised look, Bai Zhiqing listened to Lu Tianxing's words and questioned: "Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

Looking at her, Lu Tianxing explained: "This time, my main purpose in coming to Modu is to clarify my background. Now that it's clear, there's no need to stay in Jiangnan. And if we continue to stay, more trouble may arise—you agree, right?"

Leaving Jiangnan was a decision Lu Tianxing made after careful consideration. He needed to focus on enhancing his strength. As Lu Bowen told him, Old Master Lu's time was running out, primarily because of the Sword Qi inside him. By cultivating the Creation Source Technique and refining the Creation God Tripod, he could possibly diminish this Sword Qi and prolong Old Master Lu's life.

However, his current strength was too weak, so he needed to increase it as soon as possible, reaching the Middle-stage Mythical level before any incident affected Old Master Lu. At this level, he might succeed in dissipating the Sword Qi and granting Old Master Lu more time.

To break through, he needed to undergo repeated battles, experiencing crises to make rapid progress. Although the Lu Family was safe, precisely because of Old Master Lu's presence, nobody dared to attack him, leaving no threat and, hence, no path to breakthrough.

Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing's expression and nodded: "Then I'll listen to you; tomorrow, let's talk to grandpa before we leave."

In reality, Bai Zhiqing also wanted to leave the Lu Family. Apart from feeling the familial love from Old Master Lu and Lu Haoyue's family, she found no warmth from the other Lu Family members—only intrigue and indifference.

Especially today, at the Red People Club, many Lu Family Disciples attended the ball. Yet, during the conflict between Lu Tianxing and Jiang Haochen, besides Lu Haoyue, no other Lu Family disciples stepped forward or said a word—they merely watched coldly, almost wishing Lu Tianxing got into trouble. This deeply disheartened her, finally understanding why Lu Tian was reluctant to associate with those disciples, who valued profit above all else.

"Hmm, we'll head back to Modu in a couple of days."

Lu Tianxing gently nodded.

The room returned to silence, with only the sound of breathing audible. After a while, Bai Zhiqing suddenly rose from the bed, picking up a white robe to wrap around herself.

"Honey, what are you doing?" Lu Tianxing asked, puzzled.

"Taking a shower! Sweating so much, I can't sleep without a shower."

Bai Zhiqing gave Lu Tianxing a playful glance, walking barefoot towards the bathroom.

Watching her, Lu Tianxing quickly got out of bed, following her with a chuckle: "Honey, I just saw a national policy advocating water conservation. How about we save water together?"
