"Alright, go on."

Qin Yang said with a smile.

After swallowing the Primordial Spirit Pill, the Fire Flame Lion and the Flying Thunder Eagle each contentedly returned to their wooden cabins.

Qin Yang also began to walk towards the apartment.

However, after taking just two steps, Qin Yang paused slightly. He noticed that there was still a faint light coming from the room of Ruan Xinxue on the second floor. It was clearly the bedside lamp that hadn't been turned off.

"Huh? It's so late, and Sister Ruan hasn't gone to sleep yet?"

Qin Yang paused for a moment, wondering if she had fallen asleep and forgotten to turn off the light.

Swish!

Qin Yang lightly tapped his toes and easily landed on the second-floor balcony. He opened the window and walked inside.

The room was filled with a faint, warm fragrance, the familiar scent of Ruan Xinxue.

On the pink bed lay Ruan Xinxue, her beautiful eyes closed, clearly already asleep.

However, the light from the bedside lamp continued to cast a soft glow on her ice-like, fair face.

Qin Yang smiled gently; it seemed she really did forget to turn off the light. He walked over, intending to switch off the lamp.

But just as he was about to turn off the lamp, he noticed that Ruan Xinxue was still holding her phone.

"Did Sister Ruan fall asleep from looking at her phone?"

He gently pried open her delicate fingers and took the phone out.

When Qin Yang pressed a button, the screen lit up.

On the screen were a series of messages, all conversations between him and Ruan Xinxue.

Qin Yang was taken aback. Had Sister Ruan been reading their messages before falling asleep?

The messages showed that Ruan Xinxue texted him more often, and it seemed that he indeed spent too little time with Sister Ruan. A tinge of guilt filled Qin Yang's heart.

Unlike his past life, where, apart from being close with his master, he mostly cultivated alone or went on solo adventures.

Peers from the Celestial Dao Sect revered him, but Qin Yang's focus was entirely on cultivation. The cultivation realm was unforgiving; strength was the ultimate essence.

Coming to this plane on Earth, however, was different. He experienced so much more and learned a lot — at least Sister Ruan had become someone he'd protect at all costs.

In his previous life, immortal cultivation was for gaining strength, obtaining longevity, proving oneself in the Immortal Realm, and surviving its harsh environment.

But now, aside from those goals, he had another crucial one: to protect those he wished to protect, ensuring they would not suffer even the slightest harm.

The werewolves daring to capture Sister Ruan meant they had angered him, and thus Qin Yang would not spare them.

This also marked a growth in Qin Yang's mindset.

Just as Qin Yang was in a slight daze, Ruan Xinxue opened her eyes. Seeing someone by her bed, she was startled.

However, when she saw it was Qin Yang, a hint of surprise washed over her face, revealing the genuine happiness she felt upon seeing him.

"Sorry, Sister Ruan, did I scare you?"

Qin Yang smiled softly, his gaze gentle as he looked at Ruan Xinxue.

"When did you get back?"

Ruan Xinxue sat up on the bed.

"Just now."

Qin Yang replied with a smile.

Ruan Xinxue glanced at the bedroom door, still closed tight.

Only the sliding door between the balcony and the bedroom was open.

"You actually came in through the balcony."

Ruan Xinxue playfully glared at Qin Yang, but her bright eyes bore no hint of blame.

After Qin Yang took a shower in the bathroom, he ended up sleeping there. Having been busy the entire day, he quickly fell asleep.
