Zhiruo stopped the treatment once she had healed Lan Xi's injuries to a satisfactory level. That day, she said seriously to Li Ye, "Brother Ye, I have treated her injuries to about sixty percent. There is no longer any danger to her life, and she can move freely now. We have already delayed a lot of time because of her, and she is almost fully recovered. I have prepared the medicine she will need next; as long as she takes it on time, she will surely heal completely. She can leave now."
Li Ye also knew that the two women had a poor impression of Lan Xi, and that incident made him feel awkward every time he saw her. Although he had been exhausted by Zhiruo and Yan Yuchen's antics these days, he was still grateful for their care and concern deep down. Li Ye understood that there was no need to let the woman who loved him deeply be unhappy over a passerby. Moreover, they had done everything they could for Lan Xi in every aspect.
Li Ye nodded and walked towards Lan Xi, saying, "Miss Lan, all good things must come to an end; it's time to say goodbye."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xi felt anxious inside but maintained a weak and innocent appearance. She softly replied, "Brother Li Ye, I know I have caused you all a lot of trouble, and I am truly grateful. However, my injuries are not fully healed yet, and it would be difficult for me to travel alone in the world. How about letting me stay with you for a few more days until I fully recover?"
Zhiruo shot a cold glance at Lan Xi and said nothing more; she simply walked to Li Ye's side and gently tugged at his sleeve. Yan Yuchen stepped forward with a frown and said, "Young Master, while Miss Lan's words make sense, we really cannot afford to delay any longer. We need to act quickly to find Wei Chenghao and avenge the people of Qingyang City."
Li Ye hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded and said, "Miss Lan, I am truly sorry. We have important matters to attend to and cannot delay any further. This medicine is enough for you to regain your health; take care of yourself."
Seeing that there was no way to change his mind, Lan Xi could only nod in agreement while secretly vowing not to give up on this mission easily. She took the medicine pouch and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Li Ye, Zhiruo, Yan Yuchen. I will always remember your kindness. I hope we can meet again."
Li Ye smiled faintly and nodded, saying, "Take care."
After Lan Xi left, Li Ye and the two women continued on their way. Zhiruo and Yan Yuchen were delighted to be rid of a suspicious person who had been fixated on Li Ye; both women felt relieved and even quietly discussed how they would 'reward' Li Ye later that night.
Meanwhile, Li Ye's resolve strengthened; no matter what difficulties he faced, he would seek revenge for the people of Qingyang City and the members of the Bat Gang.
Only the evil spirit in Li Ye's consciousness raised an eyebrow with a smile, thinking that these little ones were too naive; this girl would not leave them so easily! Initially planning to use her against them completely, he did not expect Lan Xi to become impatient and narrow her own path! But it was fine; the evil spirit knew he would definitely see this girl again.
Lan Xi trudged along the way; on the surface she seemed weak but was secretly plotting inside. She knew this mission had failed but would never give up easily. She was determined to find new opportunities; no matter what price she had to pay, she would make Li Ye trust her and submit to Liu Zhang or destroy him completely.
After bidding farewell to Lan Xi, Li Ye finally let out a sigh of relief. Seeing that Lan Xi had truly left, Zhiruo and Yan Yuchen each placed a fragrant kiss on Li Ye's cheeks. Zhiruo gently hugged Li Ye and softly said, "Tonight, Yen Yuchen and I will reward you well~" Li Ye shook his head with emotion, saying, "It is indeed difficult to bear the favor of beautiful women; the ancients did not deceive me!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Yuchen supported Li Ye's shoulder and leaned close to his ear, whispering, "Be content; how many people are there who are not blessed enough to enjoy such favors?"
Li Ye walked forward with one woman on each side. Once they reached the official road, he said to the two women, "Let's walk along the official road and find an inn to stay at. We've been traveling without proper rest for days."
The two women agreed, and the three of them walked along the official road. Soon, they found an inn named Pleasant Inn, which looked quite clean and tidy. A few strings of red lanterns hung at the entrance, giving it a warm atmosphere.
Li Ye pushed open the inn's door and was greeted by a wave of warmth and the aroma of food. The attendant warmly approached them with a smile, saying, "Welcome, esteemed guests! Would you like to stay or dine?"
Li Ye smiled and nodded, "We would like to stay. We need three rooms, and these two ladies will also need some hot water and snacks shortly."
The attendant immediately led them upstairs and arranged for the best rooms. Li Ye and Zhiruo, along with Yan Yuchen, each entered their own rooms, finally enjoying the long-awaited warmth and comfort.
As night fell, the lights in the inn gradually brightened. Li Ye sat cross-legged in his room, practicing his techniques to restore his spirit and energy. After a while, there was a gentle knock at the door. Li Ye got up to open it and saw Zhiruo and Yan Yuchen entering with hot tea and snacks.
Zhiruo smiled and said, "Brother Ye, how is your rest? We brought some snacks and hot tea for us to enjoy together."
Li Ye gratefully accepted the hot tea, feeling warm inside from the care of the two beautiful women. Zhiruo and Yan Yuchen sat beside him as the three enjoyed a rare moment of tranquility and warmth. Although the road ahead was still filled with challenges and dangers, this moment of peace allowed Li Ye to feel a long-lost sense of calmness and happiness.
The two women filled a wooden tub in the room with hot water and sprinkled rose petals on top; steam wafted up beautifully. They lightly loosened their gauzy skirts and both entered the bath together. Warm water splashed around them as they played in it, sending small droplets flying while rose petals floated alongside.
The warm water in the tub brought relaxation throughout their bodies. Zhiruo and Yan Yuchen splashed water at each other playfully, their laughter ringing out endlessly. They teased one another with water fights; droplets flew everywhere as their laughter chimed like silver bells, filled with carefree joy.
Li Ye lay on the bed, listening to the laughter of his beloved women, feeling a sense of peace. After enduring countless dangers and hardships, this tranquility and happiness felt incredibly precious. He closed his eyes, soaking in the warm atmosphere as his thoughts gradually relaxed.
In the bathtub, Zhiruo leaned against the edge, smiling at Yan Yuchen. "Sister Yan Yuchen, days like this are truly rare. We should cherish them."
Yan Yuchen nodded, her smile bright. "Yes, it's wonderful to be able to relax like this. Brother Ye can finally take a break too."
Zhiruo gently played with the rose petals floating in the water, her eyes filled with tenderness. "No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, as long as we are together, everything will be alright."
Yan Yuchen took Zhiruo's hand firmly and said, "Yes, we will always be together, facing all challenges and dangers."
Listening to their conversation, Li Ye felt even more resolute. He knew he bore a heavy responsibility, but with these two lovers by his side, he could overcome any difficulty. He silently vowed that no matter how tough the road ahead might be, he would protect his two beloved ones and lead them toward a brighter future.
As night deepened and the warm steam gradually dissipated, the room was filled with an atmosphere of peace and happiness. Li Ye enjoyed this moment of tranquility, his heart brimming with gratitude and determination. Regardless of what the future held, he would do everything in his power to safeguard this rare happiness.
Zhiruo wrapped in a light veil softly said, "Brother Ye, we can rest well tonight. There are many things to do tomorrow, but at least tonight, we can set everything aside and enjoy this moment of peace."
Yan Yuchen also walked over to Li Ye in her delicate dress, smiling gently. "Young Master, do not waste this beautiful moment and our sisters' intentions."
