Soon, Dongfang Shu suspected that Dongfang Tingyin had told Su Fan.
"Tingyin, how could you reveal matters of the ancient martial arts world to a mere mortal!"
Concealing the ancient martial arts world from mortals was a tacit understanding among all martial artists. No one would proactively tell mortals such details. However, Dongfang Tingyin had broken the rule. If other martial artists found out, they would definitely hunt down Dongfang Tingyin and Su Fan.
"Who says he's a mortal? Did I say that?" Dongfang Tingyin chuckled.
She knew her father would trouble Su Fan over his identity as a martial artist, so she had found Su Fan, a special person.
Dongfang Shu looked at Su Fan with surprise.
He hadn't expected this kid to be a martial artist.
"So what if he's a martial artist? There are still differences between martial artists. Not just anyone can latch onto the Dongfang family's influence!" Dongfang Shu's words were somewhat boastful, but they were the truth. In the capital, the Dongfang family was considered the pinnacle for martial artists, one of the four great families, which carried significant weight.
"This junior is not talented, but I just obtained a spot in the inheritance ground and had a spar with Xu Tianming. I knocked him down a cliff with one punch," Su Fan stated his achievements with no pretense, specifically mentioning Xu Tianming.
His intention was to convey that he knew about Dongfang Tingyin's engagement to Xu Tianming, and that Xu Tianming was no match for him.
"What!" Dongfang Shu was shocked. If Su Fan's words were true, then Su Fan's strength was superior to Xu Tianming's?
How was this possible! Xu Tianming was already considered the most talented of the younger generation in nearly a century. Was this person even stronger than him? Then his talent would be comparable to a true disciple of a top sect!
"Don't boast and get your tongue twisted. Tianming has the strength equivalent to the Yaoguang realm. How could you possibly defeat him!"
Dongfang Shu was skeptical, as Su Fan's claim was unsubstantiated, and no one could prove that Su Fan had defeated Xu Tianming.
Dongfang Tingyin had also never heard Su Fan mention this, and she was somewhat surprised.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask him. I have no reason to lie to you," Su Fan said calmly.
Su Fan's composure made Dongfang Shu unsure whether Su Fan was telling the truth or not.
"Dad, Su Fan is my boyfriend, not your prisoner. Do you need to interrogate him like this?" Dongfang Tingyin felt that she couldn't let her father continue asking questions. Regardless of whether Su Fan was telling the truth or not, the more he spoke, the more mistakes he might make and reveal something.
"Exactly. They just got off the plane, and you're not letting them rest. I'll have Sister Wu prepare a guest room. You two should go rest first," Zhang Yuxin said, displeased with Dongfang Shu.
"No need, Mom. He's staying with me," Dongfang Tingyin directly refused her mother's suggestion and pulled Su Fan away.
This left the surprised elders in the living room.
"What did she just say? Staying together!" Dongfang Shu's voice immediately rose several octaves.
"It seems so," Zhang Yuxin also hadn't fully processed it. Was her daughter moving this fast? Had they already moved in together?
Dongfang Tingyin said this precisely to make her parents realize that she and Su Fan had already crossed the point of no return, and no one could stop her from breaking off the engagement!
Even more bewildered was Su Fan, who had no idea there was a "sleeping over" component.
"Big sister, sleeping is a separate service. You can't get it for free," Su Fan said with feigned shyness.
"Get lost!"
Dongfang Tingyin almost slapped Su Fan.
This pervert, what was he thinking?
"Then how are we going to sleep tonight?"
This was Su Fan's most pressing concern. There was only one bed in the room, and he didn't want to sleep on the floor.
Dongfang Tingyin was silent for a long time.
"We'll sleep on the bed. My bed is quite big anyway. Half for each of us, and neither is allowed to cross the line, or you're a beast!" Dongfang Tingyin said fiercely to Su Fan.
Su Fan suddenly recalled a story about beasts and those worse than beasts.
He then looked at Dongfang Tingyin strangely.
"Don't overthink it!"
Dongfang Tingyin quickly realized her words were problematic and hit Su Fan in annoyance.
"If I don't overthink it, why are you hitting me?" Su Fan rubbed the spot where Dongfang Tingyin had hit him, feeling speechless.
That night, as they were about to sleep.
"I sleep very deeply, don't talk to me."
Su Fan gave Dongfang Tingyin a heads-up to prevent her from worrying if she noticed anything unusual after he entered the game.
"Got it. Don't use that as an excuse to cross the line," Dongfang Tingyin warned Su Fan, using the blanket to create a line between them.
Su Fan nodded and lay down on the bed, falling asleep quickly.
To fall asleep quickly, Su Fan had mastered a rapid sleep induction technique: close his eyes, regulate his breathing, relax his body, and focus his attention on his feet. He could fall asleep very quickly.
"Su Fan, are you asleep?"
It was Dongfang Tingyin's first time sleeping in the same bed as a man, and she felt restless, unable to sleep. She softly asked Su Fan.
However, Su Fan had already entered the game and couldn't hear Dongfang Tingyin.
"Su Fan?"
Dongfang Tingyin turned to face Su Fan's direction and then realized Su Fan was already asleep.
"He fell asleep so fast."
Dongfang Tingyin muttered with dissatisfaction.
With a beautiful woman beside him, Su Fan could fall asleep so quickly, which felt somewhat disrespectful to her.
Dongfang Tingyin had a mischievous idea. She reached out her small hand and touched Su Fan's face, but Su Fan didn't react at all.
She then pinched Su Fan's nose, still no reaction.
"He's sleeping that soundly?"
Dongfang Tingyin, refusing to believe it, sat up and looked down at Su Fan.
She cupped Su Fan's face and shook it.
Su Fan still didn't react.
She even slapped him twice, still no reaction.
Dongfang Tingyin was shocked.
This wasn't just sleeping soundly; he was practically dead to the world!
If not for Su Fan's steady breathing and body temperature, she would have thought Su Fan had died.
"Hmph! Worse than a beast!"
Dongfang Tingyin recalled the story about men and women sharing a bed and muttered a complaint about Su Fan before smiling and lying down beside him to sleep.
The next morning, Su Fan, who had spent a day completing tasks in the game, opened his eyes and suddenly felt a weight on him.
He looked down and saw that Dongfang Tingyin was half-lying on top of him. Her thin sleepwear couldn't conceal the allure of her body, and Su Fan immediately woke up.
"Mmm~"
Dongfang Tingyin moaned and woke up.
Hearing such an alluring sound at such close proximity, Su Fan felt his body tremble.
Who could withstand this?
"Su Fan?"
Dongfang Tingyin groggily opened her eyes and looked at Su Fan, confused at first.
"Ah!!!"
The next moment, she let out a piercing scream.
"Why are you in my bed?"
Dongfang Tingyin said in fright.
"Do you want to recall what happened yesterday?" Su Fan said speechlessly.
Dongfang Tingyin thought back carefully and then remembered the cause and effect.
Dongfang Tingyin's face flushed red, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
