What’s the situation?

What’s going on?

If she tries to force herself on me, should I make a case of struggling? Should I try to at least fight back a little…

What should I do? 
Wang Baole slowly walked into the secret chamber as countless thoughts flooded his mind. His heart raced. He was torn.
With those thoughts in mind, Wang Baole walked into the secret chamber and coughed awkwardly. He pretended that he couldn’t see that clearly. Then, he did what he had done in the past and helped Li Wan’er with her treatment.


However, even though the lights of the secret chamber had been turned off, he could still see clearly. He could see Li Wan’er’s face and the reddening of her cheeks.
The treatment session started out normally. However, gradually, Li Wan’er’s breathing grew heavier, as did Wang Baole’s. He could barely control himself. After all, the treatment process meant he had to continuously touch her…
Time crawled. An hour passed. Based on the past few treatments, the current treatment should be coming to an end. Li Wan’er would get up and leave.
Li Wan’er seemed to have forgotten about that today. Wang Baole blinked. He seemed to have forgotten to end the treatment as well. Their breathing grew heavier. As Wang Baole’s hands continued to wander, Li Wan’er continued to wait. She seemed to have waited for a long time. She suddenly frowned, seeming displeased. She spoke for the first time since she stepped into the secret chamber.

Wang Baole, do you still call yourself a man?

Wang Baole became instantly unhappy when he heard that. He felt insulted. He slapped Li Wan’er hard on her butt. He was about to say something, but that slap seemed to have made Li Wan’er’s breathing grow heavier still. Her entire body was like an oven, giving off waves of heat.
Under the influence of the waves of heat, Li Wan’er wasn’t the only one who made a move. Wang Baole lit the spark… a session of intertwining unfolded naturally…
The Spirit Inception Era had commenced with the arrival of the ancient green-bronze sword. Within the sword hid large quantities of ancient texts and inscriptions. That had caused the resurgence of the traditions of old. However, the mindset of the people had undergone the passage of time and history. They weren’t as conservative as the people in the past with regard to romantic relationships between men and women. Wang Baole had secretly viewed many videos of this material in the past when he was younger, for educational purposes…
That was why he didn’t seem too awkward and unfamiliar despite this being his first time. Li Wan’er, on the other hand, clearly showed her inexperience. But she had her strengths as well, and that was… forcefulness!
Wang Baole almost couldn’t shoulder the entirety of her forcefulness and passion. But he didn’t wish to lose. He unleashed the full extent of his cultivation and physical stamina and managed to keep up.


The night passed…
The next morning, a slightly weakened Wang Baole watched a frowning Li Wan’er get to her feet and dress herself. She seemed slightly uncomfortable. He was extremely pleased with himself.

Li Wan’er, so, have I shown myself to be a man?
Pleased, Wang Baole couldn’t help but ask that question.
Li Wan’er paused in the midst of dressing herself and tilted her head towards Wang Baole. Her face had once again resumed its cold, expressionless look. She glared at him and didn’t say a single word. After dressing herself, she snorted, turned, and left.
Just gonna leave, just like that? 
Wang Baole patted his tummy, sighing inwardly. He felt that he had grown up overnight. He turned on his voice transmission ring and sent his father a voice transmission.

Old Wang, I’ve grown up!
Wang Baole shouted loudly in his voice transmission.

You little rascal, did you wreak havoc on someone’s precious daughter?
Wang Baole’s father immediately understood what Wang Baole was saying and asked hastily.
Wang Baole snickered at how well his father could read him. He didn’t explain himself, merely ended the conversation happily. He tidied up the place, left his residence, and headed for the office.
He hummed a cheery tune on the way to his office. His spirits were high, and everyone looked especially pleasing to the eye. After he reached the office, Li Wan’er appeared soon after. Before he could receive her warmly, she began to discuss the matter of the statues in Wen Huai’s zone with an expressionless look on her face. She emphasized the need to punish Liu Daobin harshly once again.
What’s going on? 
Wang Baole’s head throbbed. He tried to communicate properly with Li Wan’er, but her stance remained firm. She wasn’t backing down. Her words were forceful and angered Wang Baole.



Li Wan’er, do you have nothing else to do? This matter’s settled. You can leave now!

Li Wan’er seemed oblivious to Wang Baole’s rage. Before she left, she reiterated the fact that she was holding firm to her views. If Wang Baole didn’t handle the matter, she would report her views to the Governor and get the Governor to make a decision.
She’s crazy. She’s a completely different person from last night. Does this Li Wan’er have a sister or something? 
Wang Baole, in his anger, began to grow suspicious. The attitudes of Li Wan’er in the day and during the night were simply too drastically different.
After a moment of hesitation, Wang Baole sent a voice transmission to Li Xiu. He found out that besides Li Wan’er, Li Xiu had no other sisters. Wang Baole simply couldn’t figure out what Li Wan’er was thinking.
He carried his bewilderment and doubt with him. That night, as Wang Baole was about to meditate, he heard a knock at his door. He saw through the array formation Li Wan’er standing at his doorstep. He was stunned.
What’s the meaning of this? She fights with me with that cold attitude of hers in the day, then at night… 
Wang Baole was on the verge of anger. He snorted and unlocked the gates. He was about to say something, but Li Wan’er was already strolling in and heading for the secret chamber. She turned the lights off…
Wang Baole was dazed once again. He stood, bewildered and lost, outside the door. After a long while, he shut the door and turned towards the secret chamber. There was a strange expression on his face. He thought about how aggravating the other had been in the day. Then, he snorted and stomped into the secret chamber…
The night passed.
The days passed in this manner. The relationship between Wang Baole and Li Wan’er grew ever stranger. They continued to bicker in the day due to their differences in opinion over administrative matters, but when night arrived… Li Wan’er would turn up punctually—every time. She would head for the secret chamber without a word and turn the lights off.
Wang Baole finally resigned himself to Li Wan’er’s behavior. He vented his frustrations with Li Wan’er in the day on her at night. Li Wan’er didn’t seem to mind Wang Baole’s behavior…


Finally, one night, inside Wang Baole’s secret chamber, in the dark, his voice, filled with anger, rang out.

Just follow my orders to handle the matter of Liu Daobin!

Li Wan’er was silent. She seemed to be controlling herself.

You’re not saying a thing? I’m going to make you say something!
Wang Baole snorted. He did something, and soon, Li Wan’er’s breathing quickened rapidly. It could be heard loudly and clearly even outside the secret chamber. Finally, she was reduced to a trembling mess. She seemed to have fallen into a daze.

I’m going to say it again. Just follow my orders to handle the matter of Liu Daobin. Are you going to do as I said?
Wang Baole roared in a low voice. Li Wan’er’s voice trembled. Her consciousness seemed to be slipping away, and her voice shook as she spoke.

I’ll… I’ll do as you said…

Wang Baole was immediately filled with satisfaction and snorted. Li Wan’er kept her word. When they met again the next day, despite her cold and expressionless face, she didn’t bring up the topic of Liu Daobin again. She followed Wang Baole’s instructions and didn’t blow the matter up. She didn’t pursue it further.
This finally allowed Wang Baole to piece together the way to interact with and engage with Li Wan’er. The two of them continued this strange dance. It was during this time that Chen Mu acquired his access rights to the array formation. He paid Li Wan’er another visit at her office.
This time, he wasn’t here for resources and support, but to soothe the tensions between the both of them. He had even prepared a gift for Li Wan’er and invited her to have dinner with him.
Li Wan’er turned down Chen Mu’s invitation directly, with no expression on her face.



Wan’er, let bygones be bygones. We’re engaged, after all. This is a fact that can’t be changed.
Chen Mu smiled. He ignored Li Wan’er’s refusal. He never cared for her anyway. He only intended to soothe the tensions between them after obtaining his access to the array formation. He had been residing in the new city for quite some time and had been steadily growing hot and bothered watching Li Wan’er’s beautiful face and her curvaceous figure.
As he spoke, Chen Mu got to his feet and came to Li Wan’er’s side. He reached for her hand.
Just as he was about to touch her, Li Wan’er’s face darkened. Her cultivation erupted and immediately drove Chen Mu back. For the first time, her eyes flashed with a harsh light. She said coolly.

Mayor Chen, please control yourself!


Me? Control myself? Li Wan’er, I’m just trying to hold your hand, but you won’t even allow that. Wang Baole touched you all over in that cave!
Chen Mu erupted in rage, his facial features contorting into a gruesome expression. He was about to step forward. However, this time, Li Wan’er didn’t continue to hold herself back and slapped Chen Mu!

Scram!
