Chapter 38: Guiding Cultivation?

“Young Master, time to get up…”

As dawn just broke, Chen Fan’s bedroom door was pushed open.

Cui Beixi walked in, holding a basin of water and a towel.

“You… what’s going on?”

Chen Fan sat up, dazed and confused.

Half-awake, it felt like he was still dreaming.

It all seemed a bit unreal.

Young men always woke up with a bit of fiery energy in the morning.

And upon seeing Cui Beixi, his blood surged even more.

She had changed into new clothes—ones Chen Fan had bought for her yesterday.

He had gotten her all sorts of styles, yet she chose the very one he liked the most.

Moreover, she had even brought in a basin for washing his face.

“Young Master, I don’t really have anything else I can do.”

“So let me take care of your daily needs.”

“Being able to come to this world is my honor. Following Young Master even more so.”

“So, all I want is to serve Young Master well.”

“This must be the reason I appeared by Young Master’s side…”

Cui Beixi lowered her head and spoke softly.

“Uh…”

“No need for that.”

“I’m not used to having others serve me. Besides, I’m still young and capable—I can wash my face.”

Understanding Cui Beixi’s intentions, Chen Fan smiled.

But deep down, he was thinking—why had she suddenly developed this mindset?

She hadn’t been neglected or anything. She had only arrived in this world three days ago.

How could she already feel left out?

It must be the pressure.

Probably because she didn’t have a cultivation technique yet.

Soon, Chen Fan had it all figured out.

“Young Master, since I’m already here…”

“Let me help you wash your face, okay…?”

Cui Beixi smiled gently.

“I haven’t even brushed my teeth yet…”

Chen Fan, a grown man, found the idea embarrassing. In two lifetimes, no one had ever washed his face for him.

“We can wash your face first, and brush later…”

The more embarrassed Chen Fan got, the more amused Cui Beixi became.

She directly pulled Chen Fan out of bed.

The blanket covering him slipped to the ground.

Cui Beixi froze.

So full of youthful vitality?

“I can do it myself.”

Chen Fan collected himself, remaining calm and composed.

Who hadn’t been young once?

Brimming with life, eyes on the sun—that’s the spirit of youth.

“Let me do it…”

Cui Beixi also composed herself, smiled, and wrung out the towel in the basin.

“All right then…”

Unable to argue further, Chen Fan let her wipe his face.

He figured he’d just treat it as experiencing the pampered life of a young master.

“That’s more like it…”

“Young Master, you’re the head of our household. Not only do you toil for us, but you also prepare our cultivation resources.”

“What we can do in return are these tiny, insignificant things.”

Cui Beixi smiled as she came closer, carefully wiping Chen Fan’s brow with the towel…

Chen Fan was left speechless.

The scent around his nose lingered with a soft fragrance. He couldn’t help but take a deep breath and close his eyes.

By late morning, Medusa was preparing lunch.

After being guided twice, she was now getting the hang of this era’s kitchen tools.

As a former Empress, she had always lived a life of ease, where everything was done for her.

But now, stranded in this world, she had to rely on herself for food and comfort.

She even prepared meals for everyone while at it.

Naturally, Chen Fan’s cooking skills were the best.

But asking him to cook again for them… that would be too much.

Especially since Chen Fan still hadn’t come out of his room.

Clack

Cui Beixi finally came out slowly, carrying the water basin.

Since she had a snake tail and slithered as she moved, she didn’t make a sound.

After setting down the basin, she gently wiped the corners of her mouth and tidied her hairline, face blushing.

“Cui Beixi, where did you go this morning?”

“I was thinking of giving you some cultivation guidance.”

Ba Xia had returned from outside and asked softly.

“Oh…”

“I was cultivating with Young Master this morning…”

Cui Beixi suddenly grew nervous, as if she was feeling guilty.

“Cultivating?”

Ba Xia raised an eyebrow in surprise—she hadn’t expected that Chen Fan was now able to guide others in cultivation.

But soon, her eyes landed on the basin.

“Oh, I helped Young Master wash up this morning.”

“Young Master also passed me a cultivation technique.”

“He said when you’re free, I should learn from you too.”

Cui Beixi calmed herself.

“I see…”

“That’s fine.”

“Guiding your cultivation was my plan anyway.”

Ba Xia nodded and walked away with a smile.

Before leaving, though, she glanced at the corner of Medusa’s mouth.

Cui Beixi hurriedly looked in a mirror…

At that moment, Chen Fan was sitting at his computer, tapping on the keyboard while browsing websites.

However, he was somewhat aimless.

The conversation from the living room naturally reached his ears without missing a word.

A faint smile tugged at the corners of Chen Fan’s lips.

“Why does it feel like… Cui Beixi did that on purpose?”

Chen Fan chuckled. Though he thought that way, he didn’t mind.

After all, the bond they shared had already been established.

At most, she was just trying to win his favor.

“Today, I’d better pass the Haoyue Tiangong to Cui Beixi…”

“Without anything to cultivate, she keeps letting her imagination run wild.”

Having made that decision, Chen Fan finally calmed down.

“Ji Yaoyao has already started promoting the dragon corpse?”

Snapping out of his thoughts, Chen Fan noticed the news of the giant dragon auction already topping the homepage.

“All major websites are pushing it to the top…”

“They’re going all in with the promotion.”

Seeing the dragon corpse auction plastered everywhere, Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh in satisfaction.
