Chapter 312: One Sleep For Many Benefits

Li Xiaofei had just walked out of the light core mainframe room when he was blocked. This time, it was Hu Yuer.

"We need to discuss some school matters." Hu Yuer had changed her outfit. Now she was wearing a tight leather suit, swapped her glasses for gold-rimmed ones, and her lips were painted a striking red, making her even more irresistibly seductive.

A bead of sweat appeared on Li Xiaofei's forehead.

You're not Yingning, and I'm certainly not Wang Sheng.

"Just say it. Are you trying to seduce me?" Li Xiaofei asked directly.

Hu Yuer froze for a moment, but then chuckled softly. "I didn’t expect you to catch on so quickly. So, what do you think? Want to taste a little heaven on earth?"

Li Xiaofei snorted and said, "You? What would you use—your tail or your mouth?"

Hu Yuer licked her lips alluringly and replied, "Both. However you like it. And just so you know, I’m still a virgin fox."

Li Xiaofei thought for a moment and then said, "If you weren’t one of Old Tan’s people, I might’ve considered it. But now... it’s not happening."

"Because of the young lady?" Hu Yuer blinked her eyes.

"You already know, so why ask?" Li Xiaofei responded.

Hu Yuer smiled slyly. "I’ll tell you a secret."

Li Xiaofei raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"

Hu Yuer leaned in closer and said, "Actually, I also know the Yin-Yang Resonance of Great Sorrow technique."

Li Xiaofei’s eyes widened in confusion.

Hu Yuer giggled and said, "One of my purposes is to train the future husband of the young lady."

Li Xiaofei's expression turned into one of utter shock. Hu Yuer leaned in closer, her breath fragrant like an orchid's bloom.

She said softly, "The young lady’s bloodline is unique. The power of her bloodline cannot be fully awakened without the art of dual cultivation. The Yin-Yang Resonance of Great Sorrow is the most profound dual cultivation technique of the Tan family. It requires an exceptional level of mastery to help the young lady fully unlock her bloodline... So, if you want to become the son-in-law of the Tan family, your dual cultivation skills must be impeccable."

Li Xiaofei took a step back and said, "Then come in."

He turned and walked back into the mainframe room. Hu Yuer hesitated for a moment before following him inside. Once inside, she closed the door.

"So, this is the kind of realm you enjoy?" Hu Yuer giggled. "Hehe... Huh? What are you—"

Li Xiaofei had grabbed her by the throat and lifted her off the ground. His hand was like an iron claw of death.

He cocked his head to the side as he said, "I thought you had learned your lesson after lying low for a month. But you still dare provoke me? Do you really think I won’t kill you right here, right now?"

Hu Yuer’s breathing grew heavier. She chuckled softly, despite the pressure on her throat, and said, "You promised the master you'd look after me... I don’t believe you’ll kill me."

Li Xiaofei released his grip and Hu Yuer fell to the ground.

Li Xiaofei sneered, "I did promise Old Tan, but that didn’t include you bringing trouble upon yourself by provoking me. Wouldn't it be better if we all just minded our own business?"

Hu Yuer puffed out her chest and moved closer. "I came to comfort you because I saw you were lonely. Is that really considered provocation? You're too cold-hearted, little man."

Li Xiaofei scoffed, "What would a sly fox like you know about loneliness? My life is quite full, thank you."

Hu Yuer stepped closer with a sly smile, slipping right into Li Xiaofei’s arms. Twisting her body, she pressed her chest tightly against his and said, "Then how about you help fill me up a little?"

Li Xiaofei's expression gradually turned icy. A sudden surge of killing intent filled the air.

Sensing the danger, Hu Yuer quickly twisted away and slipped out of his grasp, saying, "Alright, alright. I'll be honest... I need your help."

Li Xiaofei remained indifferent.

Hu Yuer continued, "When I had to deal with two from the Five Spirits Realm that day, I was injured... badly injured."

Li Xiaofei crossed his arms, showing no sign of sympathy.

Hu Yuer continued, "I haven't come to see you this past month because I've been recovering from my injuries. It was only today that I started to feel better. But then I noticed that someone has been investigating me in secret, and they almost found me a few times."

Li Xiaofei sneered, "With your abilities, unless Goddess Ye herself makes a move, what do you have to fear inside the base city?"

Hu Yuer replied, "Little Ye wouldn’t act against me, but what if it’s the Star Council?"

Li Xiaofei's expression grew serious. "What’s going on?"

Hu Yuer explained, "I just have a feeling someone is investigating, though I haven’t been approached yet. But my intuition is usually spot on."

Li Xiaofei cursed inwardly.

Great, whatever you fear most tends to come true.

"So, how do you want me to help you?" he asked.

He had been exploring the wilderness outside the city over the past few days. He still had a Spatial Point Theft in his possession, which could allow him to discreetly send someone away without a trace.

Hu Yuer chuckled seductively and said, "It’s simple. Just accompany me in dual cultivation."

"I'm not in the mood for jokes," Li Xiaofei replied.

Hu Yuer's tone became serious. "I'm not joking. Although I’ve suppressed my injuries, to fully recover and break through my current level, I need to find a man with pure Yang blood for dual cultivation. I need a balance of Yin and Yang. You’re the only one who fits the requirements in Liuhe Base City."

Li Xiaofei remained silent.

Hu Yuer added, "It would be entirely beneficial for you as well. I have the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, and my pure Yin energy would make your cultivation twice as effective with half the effort."

Li Xiaofei sneered, "Do you really think I’m the kind of person who would sell my body and chastity just for cultivation?"

Hu Yuer's voice turned sultry again, "Beyond accelerated cultivation, you might also gain the secret technique within my bloodline, the Nine Lives Nine Souls. Just like a cat has nine lives, so does a fox. If you master it, you'll have nine lives."

Li Xiaofei replied coolly, "A warrior only needs one life."

Hu Yuer giggled and said, "There’s one more thing. I’m starting to lose control over the star beasts outside the city."

"What do you mean?" Li Xiaofei asked.

Hu Yuer spread her hands helplessly and said, "I used to be able to control the beast horde thanks to the master’s Heaven's Mandate Silkworms ability, in addition to my own strength. But when the master passed away, he handed me the Heaven's Mandate Silkworms. The problem is, they are grade six, and I’m only grade five. If I don’t reach grade six soon, I won’t be able to control them, and by extension, the beast horde outside the city."

"What happens if they get out of control?" Li Xiaofei asked.

Hu Yuer explained, "The star beasts don’t naturally belong to this wilderness. The master forcefully summoned them to assist in the plan. If they break free now, they’ll become agitated and start attacking the city. If that happens, Liuhe Base City will be in great danger once again."

"So you're saying that whether or not I engage in dual cultivation with you affects the safety of millions of citizens in the city?" Li Xiaofei said.

Hu Yuer gave an innocent look, "If you don’t believe me, you can ask Little Ye. You trust her, don’t you?"

"I’ll definitely ask her," Li Xiaofei replied.

"Then I’ll be waiting for you to... mate with me," Hu Yuer giggled, adding, "You might not understand what the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline truly represents. I’m not actually a beast. I was born in human form. Even the Five Supreme Legends of Great Xia respected my grandfather. There are countless men in this world who would dream of mating with me, including top-tier experts from the Dao Union Realm and Divine Realm. Do you think the master kept me around for nothing? He was preparing me for you."

She turned and floated away. Li Xiaofei immediately called Ye Liuying via LightChat. A moment later, Li Xiaofei hung up the phone.

"Dammit, that sly fox was telling the truth." He muttered, completely taken aback.

Ye Liuying’s personality made it impossible for her to lie. She had actually suggested he go along with Hu Yuer’s plan.

What in the world is going on? Why can’t handsome men like me catch a break? Why do all these women want to sleep with me? When will us good-looking men finally get to rise up?

With a sigh of frustration, Li Xiaofei felt a chill run down his spine.

For the second time, he walked out of the light core mainframe room. Just as he did, he received an urgent call from Chen Fei, the principal with charming peach blossom eyes.

"Someone’s arrived from the top," Principal Chen said gravely.
