The two of them were chatting inconspicuously as they reached Ling Zhenfei's small house. He initially wanted to go inside, but suddenly remembered that Hoshino Meigetsu was still inside, hence he stood at the door.

"Is there something else?" Ling Zhenfei asked Watanabe Hideaki.

Watanabe Hideaki smiled and said, "Nothing much, I just wanted to chat with Big Brother Ling. I find our conversations quite enlightening."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback by this reason. He needed to find a way to get Watanabe Hideaki to leave, otherwise, he couldn't even get into his room.

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "How about this, let's go for a walk this afternoon. You should go back and change clothes first."

Hearing Ling Zhenfei's suggestion, Watanabe Hideaki was very happy, "Big Brother Ling, do you mean you want to accompany me shopping?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "No, you're accompanying me. I'm not familiar with the small town, so I need you to guide me."

"Okay, okay, I'll come find you once I get changed." Watanabe Hideaki seemed very happy.

Ling Zhenfei said, "No need to find me, let's just leave directly after lunch."

Watanabe Hideaki nodded, "Okay, Big Brother Ling, see you at the restaurant then."

After saying this, Watanabe Hideaki ran off happily, like a joyous child.

Once Watanabe Hideaki left, Ling Zhenfei finally dared to open the door and enter his room.

No one was inside the room. After Ling Zhenfei closed the door, Hoshino Meigetsu emerged from the closet.

"I didn't expect you to be so impressive, just a few days here and you've already attracted Watanabe Nagayumi's daughter."

There was a noticeable hint of displeasure in Hoshino Meigetsu's words. Ling Zhenfei said, "Miss Hoshino, have your injuries healed? Can you leave tonight?"

Hoshino Meigetsu was taken aback, "You're asking me to leave?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Yes, you know having you here means taking on a lot of risks."

"It should be an honor for you to have me here, yet you're worried about risks? Are you even a man?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Of course, I'm a man, but this has nothing to do with being a man or not. We don't really have any connection; I saved you, and you've tried to kill me several times.

Having you in my house is like having a ticking bomb here, who knows when it might just explode."

Hoshino Meigetsu looked furious, "Alright, Ling Zhenfei, you've seen my body, and now you're saying we have no connection? Are you even human?"

Ling Zhenfei felt frustrated, "Big Sister, I'm a doctor, undressing you was part of your treatment, what does it imply anyway, alright, even if I did see, I'll apologize."

Hoshino Meigetsu's eyes were brimming with tears, and Ling Zhenfei didn't understand why she felt so wronged, as if he had done something terribly wrong. He felt quite helpless.

"Fine, Ling Zhenfei, I'll leave tonight; I won't cause you any trouble." After saying this, she sat on the couch silently, leaving Ling Zhenfei frustrated, feeling like a tragic farewell scene.

"Big Sister, isn't this a bit overboard? We've only known each other for two days at most, why make it seem like some tragic parting? If you don't want to leave, just stay here like it's a hotel."

"Who cares for this lousy place of yours? Even if you invite me, I don't want to come," Hoshino Meigetsu retorted angrily.

"Fine, if you don't want to come, then I won't see you off." Ling Zhenfei was not someone who knew how to comfort girls, nor did he want to get involved with Hoshino Meigetsu.

Tonight, Ling Zhenfei also had plans to act, trying to stealthily obtain the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth. If he could get his hands on it without anyone noticing, it would be good; otherwise, he would have to make a swift escape.

Hoshino Meigetsu was furious and ignored Ling Zhenfei. Ling Zhenfei was unsure of what to say.

At that moment, Ling Zhenfei's phone rang; it was Watanabe Hideaki inviting him to the restaurant for a meal.

Comparing Hoshino Meigetsu and Watanabe Hideaki, Ling Zhenfei preferred Watanabe Hideaki. Both from Warrior Families, Hoshino Meigetsu's temperament left Ling Zhenfei speechless, as it was rather unpredictable.

Ling Zhenfei stood up and walked out, knowing that after he left, he would accompany Watanabe Hideaki, unable to bring back anything for Hoshino Meigetsu.

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment, then took something out from his Emperor Heavenly Essence, preparing a vegetable salad for Hoshino Meigetsu, along with a cup of Ziling Fruit Juice.

The vegetables were already ready, tossed into a large bowl and seasoned. Though simply made, it caught Hoshino Meigetsu's attention despite being angry.

"What's the meaning of this?" Hoshino Meigetsu asked.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Even when angry, you can't skip meals. I won't be back soon, so I'm making you something. Don't starve yourself, you're a Celestial Maiden, starving you could be too costly for me."

Hoshino Meigetsu's expression finally eased a bit, "At least you have some conscience, but is what you made even edible? It looks weird."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You might end up wanting more after eating. Alright, I'm off; make sure you stay hidden so no one finds you."

Saying this, Ling Zhenfei pushed the door open and left, leaving just Hoshino Meigetsu in the room.

Hoshino Meigetsu was a bit curious as she looked at the food on the table. First, she took a sniff, the aroma was not bad, then she picked up the Ziling Fruit Juice, took a sip, and put it to her lips.

"What a peculiar taste, what is this?"

Hoshino Meigetsu mused aloud, just then her phone vibrated, indicating a call. She quickly answered.

"Hello, Xiao Xia, why are you calling again? Didn't I tell you not to call?"

The person on the other end was Hoshino Junka, Hoshino Meigetsu's sister, who expressed her concern, "Sis, you haven't returned for so long, everyone is very worried about you."

Hoshino Meigetsu said, "It's alright, I'm relatively safe now, but I've discovered something that requires thorough investigation."

Hoshino Junka said, "What did you discover this time? I must tell you to come back quickly, can you return today?"

"Today?" Hoshino Meigetsu considered for a moment, "I won't be back today; I have to handle some things before heading back."

"Sis, everyone at home is getting anxious. If it weren't for me stopping them, they would have already gone to the Watanabe Family to demand you back."

"I am trying to persuade Ling Zhenfei to treat our father, so tell everyone not to worry. If there is any danger, I'll send a message by flying crane."

Hoshino Junka anxiously said, "Are you out of your mind, sister? That's the Watanabe Family, staying there is like being in a lion's den. And how do you know Ling Zhenfei won't betray you?"
