The woman in her sleep sensed something and her eyes snapped open, looking at the jade bracelet with a hint of urgency.
The jade bracelet's glow had dimmed, its surface ordinary. The dark red bracelet seemed to merge with the night.
Subconsciously, the woman reached out and gently touched the jade bracelet. Her eyes lowered, a trace of hatred flashing in her pupils, and she muttered softly, "She's already dead, why is this thing so stubborn and unrefined?"
The jade bracelet seemed to protest, emitting a faint glow.
The woman's face turned fierce, and she glared at the jade bracelet, "Even if I can't refine it, I will wear this jade bracelet on my wrist forever!"
The next day.
Sunlight streamed into the room from outside.
Si Xin Xin blinked her large eyes, quietly watching Feng Ning He lying on the bed. She propped her chin with a hint of confusion, "Why hasn't my beautiful sister woken up yet?"
Feng Ning He's eyes were closed, sleeping soundly. Her skin had lost its redness and returned to its fair complexion. Her nose was small and delicate beneath her long, curled eyelashes. She looked like a sleeping beauty.
Si Jian Ye sat beside her, his narrow eyes casually sweeping over Feng Ning He, his gaze calm, "She'll wake up soon."
He suddenly felt that Feng Ning He looked much more obedient when she was asleep.
It wouldn't be bad if this woman slept forever and became a mere decoration.
"Cough... cough..."
Feng Ning He, still in her sleep, suddenly let out a low cough, her beautiful brows furrowed tightly.
She suddenly opened her eyes, and a handsome face immediately came into view.
Si Jian Ye's deep eyes were quietly gazing at her.
Their eyes met, startling Feng Ning He, who quickly sat up and moved backward, stammering, "Si... Si Jian Ye? What are you doing here!"
Si Xin Xin quickly poked her head out and said crisply, "Beautiful mother, we are all here!"
Feng Ning He seemed to remember something and quickly looked around.
Everyone was in the room.
Xiao Zhao rushed to her side impatiently, wiping away a tear that was about to fall, "Master, it's so good that you're alright. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do."
He had been with Feng Ning He for a long time. Without Feng Ning He, he truly didn't know where he would go.
Seeing Xiao Zhao in this state, Feng Ning He smiled and casually reached out to gently rub his head, "Don't worry, I'm lucky and have a long life. How could I die so easily?"
"Oh?"
Si Jian Ye, sitting beside her, opened his mouth and sneered, dismissively, "If I hadn't intervened, you would have died long ago. You wouldn't be alive now."
What he said was the truth.
Feng Ning He couldn't absorb the medicinal power. If no one had helped her, she would have been burned dry.
The man's voice was grating, and it instantly changed her mood.
Feng Ning He raised an eyebrow and met his cold gaze unhappily, "Then I should thank you for saving me."
It was true that Si Jian Ye had saved her, and she should be grateful. However, the man's sarcastic demeanor made her uncomfortable.
Si Jian Ye said indifferently, "You don't need to thank me properly. After all, you are mine now. Naturally, I won't let you die."
His voice was calm, but Feng Ning He's expression darkened. She deliberately corrected him, "King of the Underworld, our relationship is just a transaction. We can at most be called friends. Please be mindful of your words in the future."
She didn't want any more misunderstandings.
Si Jian Ye's thin lips curved slightly, and he glanced at her, raising his eyebrows, "But you lay in my bed all night. Do you know that I grudgingly gave up my bed to you and stayed up all night?"
"Yes."
Axi deliberately added, "Miss Feng, you are the first woman to sleep in the King of the Underworld's bed. Let alone women, even men haven't had this opportunity."
Feng Ning He froze and looked down at the bed.
This place was completely unfamiliar. It wasn't her room.
She had actually slept in Si Jian Ye's bed all night!
Feng Ning He quickly sat up and jumped off the bed, momentarily speechless.
Seeing her silence, Si Jian Ye's mood improved greatly, and his eyes were filled with joy, "You slept in my bed, and you think you can just leave after patting your backside?"
Feng Ning He's delicate face flushed slightly, "It's just a bed. At worst, I'll buy you a better one!"
Si Jian Ye glanced at the bed and casually touched the quilt, "This quilt is woven from spirit silkworms, and this bed is a divine artifact, the Dream Weaver Divine Bed, which aids in cultivation. Lying on it for a night is better than ordinary cultivation. Are you sure you can buy me a better one?"
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to the bed.
This bed looked ordinary, who would have thought it was a divine artifact!
The value of divine artifacts was far greater than spiritual artifacts.
Feng Ning He's spatial jade bracelet was a divine artifact. She could afford to produce a divine artifact, but she genuinely couldn't produce a bed better than the Dream Weaver Divine Bed.
This cunning man...
Si Jian Ye's lips curved upwards, and he looked at her with interest, "Have you decided how you will compensate me for my loss?"
The atmosphere in the room became inexplicably awkward.
Old Man Xu calmly walked towards the door, not forgetting to call out to Xiao Zhao, "Xiao Zhao, let's go roast a chicken for Xin Xin to try."
Xiao Zhao could sense the subtle shift in the atmosphere and nodded repeatedly, "Okay! I haven't had roast chicken in a long time either!"
The man and the beast quickly left.
Si Xin Xin's eyeballs rolled around in her sockets, and she quickly handed over a bowl of hot porridge, "Daddy, remember to let beautiful mother drink the porridge. I'm going to find Xiao Zhao to play."
Before leaving, she didn't forget to look at Axi, "Uncle Xi, let's go too."
Axi had no intention of leaving. He remained motionless and said busily, "If I leave too, and the King of the Underworld gives an order, there will be no one to carry it out promptly."
His righteous demeanor made it impossible to find fault with him.
Si Jian Ye shot him a cold glance, his icy eyes like sharp blades, his gaze menacing.
Axi shivered instantly and quickly hurried away, "Miss, I'll go help. Maybe I can even help with the roasting."
In just a moment, only Feng Ning He and Si Jian Ye were left in the large room.
Feng Ning He looked at the man in front of her awkwardly, "Then what do you want?"
She was just a disciple of a small family. Si Jian Ye was the King of the Underworld, he wouldn't make her bankrupt, would he?
Si Jian Ye's eyes flickered with interest, and he opened his mouth, his deep male voice slowly falling, "Since you slept in my bed for a night, as a reward, you will let me sleep in your bed for a night."
This condition was not difficult for Feng Ning He.
Her bed was just an ordinary bed, far inferior to Si Jian Ye's divine artifact bed.
Since Si Jian Ye had made this request, she naturally wouldn't refuse. She wasn't at a disadvantage anyway.
Immediately, Feng Ning He nodded, "What's so difficult about that? If you want to lie on it, I can even transport my bed to you and give it to you. Even ten beds would be fine."
She didn't notice Si Jian Ye's gaze subtly deepen, and the corners of his lips curved upwards imperceptibly.
