CHAPTER 534: CHAPTER 534: THE BET WITH BAI MAO! (SEEKING FOLLOW-UP READS)

The white-haired maiden wore a bashful look, "Xiao Ye, hurry up and check for me. I’ll definitely repay you."

*I’ll use my whole life to repay you, hehe!*

Xiao Ye looked a bit tempted and shot her a glance, saying, "You said it yourself, so when it’s over, we’ll just pretend nothing ever happened."

The white-haired maiden, "..."

She hurriedly blocked Xiao Ye’s rough hand that was about to start exploring, puffing up with anger,

"No way, after you check, you have to take responsibility for me and marry me."

"Otherwise, my innocence will be ruined, and no one will want to marry me!"

Xiao Ye gave a calm smile and stopped his moves. He figured, *How can stuff this good just drop on my head? Free pie from the sky, huh.*

"Huangfu Xiangling, I’ll fix your template issue now. During this period, you haven’t used any Talent Skills or transformed into a beast. The effect from my treatment last time lasted way longer than expected, kind of surprising me."

"After your template problem is resolved, the sky will be the limit for you, just like birds flying high or fish swimming wide. You can go wherever you want and won’t be held back by template flaws. Your preferences will get totally back to normal too."

Huangfu Xiangling abruptly shrank back, waved her hand, and blurted out what was on her mind, "No, no need to fix my template problem. I want to stick with you for life!"

"!" Xiao Ye’s face darkened.

"I didn’t expect that you looked cute on the outside, but you’re actually so devious inside."

"No way, I’m fixing your template right now. Go cling to someone else!"

He silently gave an order to the Template Adjuster, extracted two Creation Attribute Rule Fragments, and placed them along with two Devouring Rule Fragments.

Once the template was fixed, Xiao Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Huangfu Xiangling felt totally relaxed, amazingly comfortable, but her mood crashed hard. Her small face was filled with anger as she puffed up,

"Xiao Ye, I’ll repay your kindness—with my whole life!"

"Don’t even think about escaping the palm of my hand!"

Xiao Ye rubbed his brow, feeling a headache coming on, and helplessly said, "Missy, what exactly do you like about me? I’ll change, alright? I’ll change, isn’t that enough?"

Huangfu Xiangling glanced down, her pretty face blushing, "I’ve only seen that part of you. I just love how it’s so big and thick."

"And I like your face, and your tall, straight body."

"And that kind heart of yours!"

"Xiao Ye, can you actually change any of that?"

Xiao Ye’s mouth twitched. *These things, he truly couldn’t change...* Huffing, he retorted, "Unbelievable—you actually crave my body? You perv!"

"How about I make a clone that disappears after a day, let you go wild, then you stay away from me after?"

The white-haired maiden licked her red lips, swallowed, and said, "No, I want the real you. Not your clone. If the clone gets me, isn’t that like you getting cucked?"

"Xiao Ye, you want to set me up? No way!"

She opened her tiny mouth like a puppy and bit down, leaving teeth marks on Xiao Ye’s hand.

"What the—are you part dog or something?" Xiao Ye’s hand actually didn’t hurt, but the lingering slick moisture gave him a headache.

Huangfu Xiangling clutched her mouth, inhaling through her teeth, "Tss, my teeth are about to break! Why are you so tough? At least I’m a sixth-stage Venerable master."

Xiao Ye’s lips curled. He was already at Perfection in the Great Venerable Realm, just a step away from becoming a Venerable superpower—his body had passive defense stacked up.

This white-haired brat couldn’t even scratch his defense!

*Hehehehe, finally, there came a day when nobody could break through his defense!*

*Xiao Ye remembered how he’d failed to crack the defense of those beast girls in the past and felt a wave of sadness. That hard work, struggling to farm, and still couldn’t break their defenses—who could understand that pain?!*

*Now, the white-haired brat finally got it.*

He thought up a solution and said, "Missy, let’s set a wager. If you win, I’ll marry you. If I win, you stop clinging to me. How about it?"

Huangfu Xiangling’s pretty eyes sparkled, "What’s the wager?"

Xiao Ye smiled faintly, "You work hard on your cultivation. If you ever catch up to my Realm, then I’ll marry you. If you can’t catch up, you don’t get to hang around me!"

"Well? You’re the Young Hierarch of the Venerable Alliance. You have that much confidence, right?"

He hadn’t told the white-haired maiden about the Mythical Level template thing.

Huangfu Xiangling looked troubled, "But Master made a contract with you, so my upgrade speed can’t match hers. How the hell am I supposed to catch up with you?"

"No way, there’s just no chance I’ll win this bet! I’m not betting."

"Unless..."

Xiao Ye heard what she said at first and felt a bit let down, but then when she said there was an exception, he perked up and said, "Unless what?"

The white-haired maiden’s face turned blazing red, practically steaming, and shyly, she poked her index fingers together, "Unless you reward me once a month, at least. Give me a reason to try catching up to you."

"Don’t worry—the number of rewards, I won’t make you responsible for them!"

Xiao Ye was speechless. *In the end, this white-haired brat still just wanted his body!*

"Fine, deal—we’ll go with this. You’d better use that time to cultivate hard. Starting today, meet me again on the thirtieth day. Off you go."

The white-haired brat threw herself forward, excited, "Nope, I want it right now!"

"Otherwise, I can’t get in the mood for cultivation!"

"Ahem ahem!" At that moment, a crisp cough sounded from the side.

Xiao Ye turned his head and saw Cheng Bingxi standing there, looking cold and detached.

"!!!"

He hurriedly gave Huangfu Xiangling a kick that sent her flying ten meters away, fixed his sitting posture, and grinned,

"Bingxi, you’re done so soon?"

"Your Realm—Great Venerable, fifth stage! That’s two small jumps higher than before you went in."

Cheng Bingxi hugged her chest and said flatly, "I came out early and interrupted your fun. Should I go back to the Space-Time Hall now?"

Although her tone was calm, the pressure it put on Xiao Ye was immense.

Xiao Ye’s eyebrows jumped.

*Crap, Bingxi is pissed!*

*He instantly felt guilty inside. Cheng Bingxi was the first to follow him, but these days, he’d barely spent any time with her. Now she had to walk in on something like this.*

He walked over and picked Cheng Bingxi up, planting a kiss on her lips.

He whispered something softly in her ear.

Swoosh—Cheng Bingxi’s face turned bright red as she whispered, "Mm."

Xiao Ye gave a sneaky laugh and dashed into the bedroom....

An hour later, he led Cheng Bingxi out, holding her hand.

"Bingxi, still mad at me?" he asked with a smile.

Cheng Bingxi playfully gave him a light slap and, blushing, said, "Not mad. I’m heading back to cultivate now."

"By the way, I spent over four days in the Space-Time Hall just now. How long was it for you out here?"

Xiao Ye checked the wall clock and did the math, replying, "About an hour."

Cheng Bingxi’s eyes popped, "So the time ratio between the Space-Time Hall and the outside really is one hundred to one! An hour outside, and I break through two small Realms!"

"Time for more cultivation. Xiao Ye, see you tomorrow!"

She got excited, waved her hand to summon a golden Light Gate, and leaped right in.

*Xiao Ye was moved—if your girlfriend’s mad, just do her and she’ll calm right down. Turns out those dumb memes from his past life were legit. Thanks, internet!*

In the corner of the couch, the white-haired maiden stared at him with a resentful look, her lips pouting so high, you could hang a fish on them.

Xiao Ye patted the sofa, "Come over here, Bai Mao. Let’s talk."

He didn’t even finish when, off to the side, a golden Light Gate appeared, and with a swoosh, a stacked young mom with twin black ponytails jumped out, her bright, melodious voice ringing out,

"Xiao Ye, it’s my turn—Nangong Siyao’s turn! Hurry up and spoil me!"
