Jiang Yiyi had a dream, where she and Chu Xuan were holding hands, strolling by the willow trees, the two of them looking very close, even exchanging glances that seemed particularly different.

As usual, it should be like this, but somehow, Jiang Yiyi felt the atmosphere was a bit weird, an indescribable kind of weird.

Before she could figure out what was wrong, she turned her sight and found herself holding a slightly swollen belly, her face showing a blissful smile.

"Ah~!" This dream startled Jiang Yiyi awake.

"So scary, so scary." She muttered to herself while wiping the cold sweat off her forehead.

"Had a nightmare?" Chu Xuan’s voice sounded from beside her.

"Ah! What are you doing in my bed??" Jiang Yiyi exclaimed in shock, grabbing the blanket with one hand, intending to kick Chu Xuan off the bed.

Chu Xuan caught her foot, helplessly getting off the bed first.

"Wasn’t it you who insisted on drinking yesterday, then you couldn’t sleep soundly, mumbling in your sleep, and getting up saying you needed to pee? We don’t need that anymore, right?"

"I was afraid you’d wander off, so I stayed beside you to watch over you. Rest assured, I didn’t do anything, and you won’t get pregnant."

"Chu Xuan!!" Jiang Yiyi seemed triggered by the word "pregnant," blushing with both anger and embarrassment:

"Don’t talk nonsense, or I’ll smack you to death."

Chu Xuan raised his hands in surrender, silently muttering: You were the one who woke up last time and yelled about "I won’t get pregnant," otherwise why would I bring it up.

Jiang Yiyi looked at Chu Xuan warily while trying to recall what happened last night.

She didn’t have a headache; how could an Immortal have a hangover? But her memory after drinking was a bit fuzzy...

As Jiang Yiyi recalled, her face suddenly changed!

She extended her right hand, trembling, pointing at Chu Xuan: "You, you, you..."

Chu Xuan never thought of denying it, just nodded and said: "You kissed me first and called me a fool, so I kissed you back not conceding defeat, and finally wanted to kiss you again, but you refused."

"Chu Xuan, you scoundrel!" Jiang Yiyi’s face turned so red it was almost dripping.

"I am the third-generation ancestor of the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace. How can you overstep your boundaries, deceive your elders and ancestors, and commit such traitorous acts?"

Chu Xuan thought: When I leave the Daoist Palace and become a loner in the future, it won’t count as such.

Of course, on the surface, he sincerely apologized, "I was momentarily overwhelmed by alcohol, made a severe mistake, and willingly accept ancestor’s punishment."

"But I still want to ask, why did you suddenly want to kiss me?"

"I was tipsy, joking with you! How could you take advantage of my vulnerability?" Jiang Yiyi was still fuming.

"By the way, when I asked you if you liked me, why did you say yes? Were you planning something sinister for the Immortal, harboring ulterior motives?"

Chu Xuan felt a bit of a headache, "Shouldn’t I be the one asking this? Why did you ask that out of nowhere?"

"I thought it was the usual kind of like, like between brothers and sisters of the sect, or between friends and family, so I answered that way."

"If I had answered that I didn’t like you, wouldn’t you have poured the wine over my head, maybe even given me a beating?"

"Nonsense, how could I do such a thing?"

Of course, Jiang Yiyi said this, but in her heart, she wasn’t confident because she knew that if Chu Xuan had said "I don’t like," she certainly wouldn’t have been happy, and might have actually done such a thing.

Chu Xuan pondered, "In the end, it was just an accident. Ancestor, just punish me a little, and let’s not dwell on it."

Without a doubt, after last night’s incident, Chu Xuan felt a special affection for Jiang Yiyi, perhaps it had been there for a long time, he just hadn’t realized it.

Such a small accident happened, causing that tiny affection to take root and sprout, he even had an impulse to spend the rest of his life with Jiang Yiyi, taking good care of her.

But Chu Xuan remembered his previous pledge to focus solely on cultivation and ultimately shook his head secretly.

Not to mention that Jiang Yiyi was different from other women, maybe she didn’t even have that kind of feeling for him, perhaps just considering him as a caring, interesting, and fun junior.

To view her with the eyes of a lover would only worsen their relationship.

Not to mention, Jiang Yiyi’s reaction after waking up today slightly surprised Chu Xuan; she was obviously still a bit resistant, so he shouldn’t force her.

At this moment, Jiang Yiyi heard Chu Xuan’s words and spoke somewhat earnestly:

"Chu Xuan, I know this Immortal is of extraordinary beauty, breathtakingly beautiful, so charming that even in the heavens, the Immortals secretly in love with me could line up from the South Celestial Sect to the North Celestial Sect."

"Even when I was in the mortal world, many high-ranking and powerful cultivators admired me deeply without even having a chance to get a glimpse back from me."

"But all this is no reason for you to act upon your feelings at the sight of beauty and make mistakes because of alcohol. If you continue like this, what girl would dare drink with you in the future?"

Chu Xuan’s mouth twitched hearing this, "Ancestor, but you were the one who kissed me first, alright?"

Jiang Yiyi was momentarily speechless, then crossed her arms and said, "I already said I was just joking, and your first kiss back I can see as repaying kindness or revenge, but what was the second kiss for?"

On this point, Chu Xuan was indeed at fault; he truly felt an irresistible urge at that time, so he nodded and said:
