Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts-Chapter 398 - I might get hurt, you know~
Ao Yiner happily ran off, looking completely satisfied.
To Xu Ming, she was just a playful little girl.
What she called “eloping” was really just her wanting to go to the mainland.
For those on land who were obsessed with the sea, Ao Yiner was simply the opposite—going to the mainland had become an obsession for her.
So the moment Xu Ming agreed to her request, she joyfully ran off without a second thought.
Of course, Xu Ming could have refused her. Saying no wouldn’t have cost him anything, and helping her wouldn’t bring him much benefit either.
As for making the Eastern Sea’s little princess owe him a favor, he honestly didn’t care—he hadn’t even thought about it.
To be frank, her favor wasn’t worth much. Sure, her father and brothers spoiled her, but in reality, she had no real power. A girl who couldn’t even go where she wanted—what could she possibly do to help him?
But then again, not everything in this world has to be about profit.
Sometimes, doing things without expecting anything in return was nice too.
Besides, helping her was only a minor hassle. When he went to the Southern Demon Kingdom, he could just make a detour to the Eastern Sea. Even if it wasn’t exactly on the way, it wasn’t too far off.
After sending Ao Yiner off, Xu Ming took a bath, changed into fresh clothes, and returned to his bedroom.
However, the moment he stepped inside, a faint fragrance drifted into his nose.
To Xu Ming, this scent was all too familiar.
Back when he was at the Xu Manor in Wudu, he had spent three whole days and nights in deep “conversation” with its owner—his waist still hadn’t fully recovered from that experience.
“It’s been a while, Senior Zhou,” Xu Ming said, looking at Zhou Wanfeng, who was lying on his bed.
Zhou Wanfeng was dressed in a sheer, gauzy dress—one that closely resembled the Step-Mommy dress from Blue Star. It had a corset-style fit, slipping down from above and hugging her curves perfectly. The skirt was slit open, revealing her fair, delicate thighs.
A dress like this was only truly lethal when worn by someone with the right figure.
And Zhou Wanfeng, despite being a woman thousands of years old, had the kind of mature beauty that only came with age.
This kind of charm was something young girls could never compare to.
Not to mention, the dress was really just a thin layer of gauze—her smooth skin and certain educational focal points were all clearly visible.
Lounging on the bed, Zhou Wanfeng’s alluring curves were on full display, instantly bringing back memories of those intense nights.
There was no denying it—her “study lesions” were exceptional.
When it came to Zhou Wanfeng, Xu Ming’s mindset was crystal clear.
Sure, he had “paid the fare” and gotten on her bus, but he was nothing more than a passenger.
He had no intention of locking this particular “bus” down for himself.
To put it simply, theirs was just a S-friend relationship.
“Oh, come on~ I’ve been in the Northern Sea for days, and you never even thought about me? If something had happened to me, wouldn’t that have made you sad, my dear?” Zhou Wanfeng’s voice carried a hint of playful grievance.
“Since Senior Zhou left, it must have been for something important. I naturally wouldn’t be so tactless as to ask,” Xu Ming replied calmly. “As for something happening to you—well, that’s just impossible. With your cultivation level, unless you deliberately tried to assassinate a minister of the Northern Sea Dragon Palace, no one could possibly pose a threat to you.”
Ever since they arrived in the Dragon Capital, Zhou Wanfeng had vanished.
Xu Ming hadn’t given it much thought.
She could go wherever she pleased—it was her freedom. At best, they were just friends, with an added layer of physical interaction.
“Hmph, little brother Xu, if you keep being like this, you’re going to break my heart~”
Zhou Wanfeng pouted, then shifted her gaze downward—straight to Xu Ming’s lower body.
“No, wait, I shouldn’t call you little brother...”
A playful smirk curled on her lips.
“I should be calling you big brother instead.”
Xu Ming: “...”
Zhou Wanfeng stepped off the bed, swaying her hips as she slowly walked toward Xu Ming.
“I was indeed busy these past few days, meeting an old friend. Now that everything’s settled... I must say, I’ve missed having Big Brother Xu by my side. Yet not only did you not miss me, you even found yourself a new sweetheart in such a short time.”
She pressed herself against Xu Ming, her ample chest squeezing into the shape of a persimmon against him.
“That little Eastern Sea dragon girl was quite pretty. I didn’t expect that after just a few days, Big Brother Xu, you’d already charmed her. Truly impressive.”
Looking at Zhou Wanfeng clinging to him, Xu Ming said calmly, “Miss Ao has a pure heart. We are merely friends, Senior. Please don’t make it sound like I’m some kind of womanizer, leaving romantic entanglements wherever I go.”
“Yes, yes, just friends,” Zhou Wanfeng murmured teasingly, taking Xu Ming’s hand and placing it on her chest.
“Then what about us? What’s our relationship?”
Xu Ming thought for a moment before answering, “We don’t have a relationship.”
Zhou Wanfeng was briefly stunned, then let out a laugh that sounded like a clucking hen.
“Hehehe... Well said—no relationship at all. But isn’t that exactly what we both want?”
With that, she turned around, bent forward, resting one hand on the table while the other lifted the thin, nearly transparent fabric of her dress.
She arched her back, her full, round curves on display.
“If we have no relationship, then on a quiet, lonely night, why not do something that requires no responsibility?”
Xu Ming had already taken this bus before, so he saw no need to refuse—especially when a passenger didn’t need to be responsible for the bus, only for paying the fare.
“Mmmph!”
Zhou Wanfeng lifted her head.

The Next Morning
Xu Ming got out of bed early. By then, Zhou Wanfeng had already left.
Riding the bus came at the cost of some of his yang energy, but she didn’t take much—nothing that would harm his foundation or affect his cultivation.
By noon, he would have fully recovered.
Just as Xu Ming stepped out of his room and finished washing up, a knock sounded at the courtyard gate.
“Young Master Xu, are you present?”
Xu Ming walked over and bowed slightly in greeting.
“Good morning, Miss Xiao Lan. May I ask why you’re here?”
Xiao Lan returned the bow.
“Good morning, Young Master Xu. Her Majesty has summoned you. Please come with me at once—do not keep Her Majesty waiting.”
Xu Ming was speechless.

It’s only been one night, and she’s calling me again?
