As the night deepened, it signaled that time was running late, so the three reluctantly took the car back to the villa to rest.

Li Xiangmei had never longed for a long night to become even longer, not like tonight; because Lin Yifan was leaving tomorrow.

This goodbye, no one knows when she will see Lin Yifan again. She's afraid that too much time will pass and she'll become old and unattractive, and then Lin Yifan will think she's ugly and not want her, that would be tragic.

"Mr. Lin, if I grow old, will you still want me?"

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let you grow old." Lin Yifan replied.

He had cultivation power at his disposal, along with excellent alchemy skills; he was confident that Li Xiangmei would not age like ordinary people would.

"But eventually, I will grow old."

"Then I will also grow old someday; so what's the point of two old people disliking each other?"

"Haha!"

Xiao Qing couldn't help but laugh, finding Li Xiangmei's worry amusing, and responded, "Exactly! Xiangmei sis, everyone will age someday, you don't need to worry about that."

"Alright then!"

Although saying that, a gut feeling told Li Xiangmei that Lin Yifan wouldn't age quickly like her; so she was really afraid that Lin Yifan would someday dislike her for being old and not want her.

However, Lin Yifan already replied to her, promising not to let her age, surely he had a way to preserve her youthful beauty.

Since that's the case, she would just wait and see.

Back at the villa, the two women went back to their rooms to rest, while Lin Yifan headed toward his room, ready to close the door to refine Whitening Pills.

Having promised Li Xiangmei and Xiao Qing, he wouldn't go back on his word and immediately entered the blue Immortal Ring to start refining.

Whitening Pills were low-grade elixirs, very easy to refine; Lin Yifan recalled the method from his memory.

Subsequently, he began searching for herbal materials in the medicine room.

Once he gathered all the herbs needed for refining the Whitening Pills, he began the refinement.

A few hours later, he refined dozens of bottles of Whitening Pills, enough for Li Xiangmei and Xiao Qing to use for several years.

With the task completed, it was time to rest for a while, so he took a nap on the soft bed outside, waiting for dawn.

Soon after, dawn arrived.

At this time, Lin Yifan carried a bag of Whitening Pills to the dining room for breakfast.

Li Xiangmei, as usual, had gotten up early to prepare breakfast for Lin Yifan.

She was busy in the kitchen like a typical housewife.

Lin Yifan quietly snuck up behind her and wrapped his arms around Li Xiangmei, giving her a surprise: "Hey! My little beauty, guess what this is?"

Li Xiangmei was startled, quickly turning her head; she only relaxed upon seeing Lin Yifan's face.

The alarm faded, replaced by sweet affection.

Because at that moment Lin Yifan was hugging her from behind, this close, intimate embrace made her heart race, like a deer prancing.

Lin Yifan had never embraced her like this before, not even when they dated in Guiyuan City, so it really brought her surprise and sweetness.

Now it felt a bit more like being a couple. In the past, with his gentlemanly manners, it was more like dating in ancient times.

Lin Yifan's arms had been hanging in the air for quite a while, and she felt a bit embarrassed, so she asked, "What is this?"

"Take a guess."

"No idea! Tell me, would you?"

Li Xiangmei acted coy and curiously impatient.

"What did you ask for last night?" Lin Yifan gave a hint, prompting Li Xiangmei to guess again.

Li Xiangmei thought for a moment and replied, "Didn't ask for anything?"

"Really? Nothing at all?" Lin Yifan pressed, hoping Li Xiangmei would think it over.

Li Xiangmei thought deeper and replied, "Apart from wanting stars, didn't ask for anything; could it be stars in the bag? But aren't stars celestial bodies? How could such a huge celestial body fit in this bag?"

Her face was full of disbelief, not buying it.

Last night, while admiring the starry sky, she jokingly said she wanted to grab stars from the sky to hold and admire.

But that was just a joke, never expecting the dream to come true.

"Fool, of course, it's not stars inside."

Lin Yifan was amused by Li Xiangmei's guess, thinking how could he possibly reach out beyond this planet to grab stars for her.

"If not stars, then what?" Li Xiangmei was puzzled.

"After your swim, you felt you got tanned, so you and Xiao Qing both asked me for Whitening Pills! So what's inside are Whitening Pills." Lin Yifan answered.

"Oh! Right! But don't you lack a pill furnace? How did you get Whitening Pills so quickly?"

Li Xiangmei got confused, not knowing how Lin Yifan possessed these Whitening Pills.

"I had someone airlift them overnight." Lin Yifan found a reason to reply.

"Really? But why didn't I hear any commotion outside the villa last night?"

Li Xiangmei was doubtful, thinking it might be untrue.

"You slept like a fairy up in the sky, of course, you wouldn't know."

Lin Yifan glibly praised, a departure from common expressions.

A regular person might say, you sleep like a pig, of course, you wouldn't know. But since Lin Yifan and Li Xiangmei were in a romantic relationship, he couldn't use any phrases tinged with scolding or mocking tones, so he opted for a more pleasant metaphor.

Li Xiangmei felt sweetness tingling inside, discovering Lin Yifan's increasingly slick tongue she found a bit hard to adapt.

"Is this all Whitening Pills?"

Li Xiangmei weighed the bag a bit, finding it heavy, incredulous.

"Of course." Lin Yifan replied.

"Isn't that too much? Can we use it all?" Li Xiangmei asked.

She's just a bit tanned now, she wouldn't need it anymore after whitening.

"If you swim at the beach every day, sure you could use it all. But even if not, it doesn't matter, the shelf life is long, at least five years." Lin Yifan replied.

"Then I will thank you on behalf of Xiao Qing."

"Xiangmei sis, thank who on my behalf?"

Li Xiangmei never anticipated Xiao Qing would come downstairs at this moment, which was awkward.

She intended to use Xiao Qing to ease this awkward situation; now, she might have to face Lin Yifan directly.

"On your behalf... thank Mr. Lin."

"Why thank Mr. Lin?" Xiao Qing was full of curiosity.

"Because he gave you Whitening Pills." Li Xiangmei answered.

"Isn't it also for you? Why only thank me and not yourself?"

Xiao Qing walked over step by step, asking the shyly lowered-head Li Xiangmei with a teasing smile on her face.

"I... I..."

"What I? Already shy? What will you do when you get married and have kids?" Xiao Qing asked.

"Ah! Xiao Qing, can you not meddle in this?" Li Xiangmei stamped her foot, her face burning red.
