Chapter 238: Xiao Xiao's Celestial Herb – Phoenix Song Purifying Heart Grass
"You're happy with them? That's all that matters~"
Ye Chen turned his head slightly, gazing at Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong nestled against his arms, his voice carrying a playful warmth.
"Hmph, fine! I'll let you off this time for not visiting us sooner—only because you brought gifts~"
Wang Dong pouted, then suddenly swung one leg over and straddled Ye Chen's waist in one smooth motion.
"Hmm?"
Ye Chen grunted softly, caught off guard.
Wang Dong's soft hips pressed lightly against his abdomen, the thin fabric between them unable to hide her warmth or firmness.
The hem of her sky-blue dress rippled from the sudden motion, folding up around her waist.
Moonlight traced down her long legs, covered completely in delicate white stockings, outlining smooth, perfect curves that gleamed faintly in the soft glow. The faintest hint of bare skin peeked through at the top, radiating irresistible youth and allure.
Wang Dong gazed down at him from above, a few strands of her pastel-blue hair falling over her face. Her cheeks flushed pink, yet her eyes shone bright and fierce.
Before Ye Chen could speak, she leaned down, finding his lips.
"Mmm…"
Ye Chen felt the soft warmth of her lips press against his own, carrying a faint sweetness unique to her.
Her kiss this time was filled with heat and possession—no longer the shy brush from earlier, but hungry and fervent. Her soft lips parted his, tongue clumsy and bold, seeking to leave her breath and taste imprinted within him.
Her rapid breaths brushed hotly across his face.
Feeling her intensity, Ye Chen's breathing quickened as well.
The hand he still had on Xiao Xiao's waist shifted upward, sliding behind Wang Dong's head, pulling her down as he answered the kiss with equal fervor.
His other hand found her thigh, fingers gliding over the smooth silk of her stockings, feeling the supple warmth beneath.
"Mmm…"
Wang Dong's body trembled at his touch, a muffled whimper escaping between their lips.
Ye Chen: …
Beside them, Xiao Xiao watched with wide eyes, frozen for a second.
She wanted to join in but didn't quite know how.
So, without thinking, she moved forward, sitting astride his leg, locking it gently between hers—and then joined them shyly.
Wang Dong sensed her movement and easily adjusted, their coordination natural and unspoken.
…
…
From a distance, Ye Yunxi had unknowingly caught sight of the scene. She instinctively covered her eyes—but the space between her fingers was wide open, her lovely eyes round in shock.
"These young people these days…"
Her face turned red, torn between speechlessness and wistful envy.
So open, so fearless—yes, this was truly what youth was.
If not for her position… she might have been tempted to join.
…
Half an hour later.
Ye Chen lay back, entirely satisfied.
Back in his room, he collapsed onto the bed as the sound of gentle water came from the bathroom—Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao bathing together, their laughter and whispered giggles spilling faintly into the quiet.
Ye Chen deliberately restrained his spiritual sense—he didn't need to listen to know what they were chatting about.
He had tried to join them in the bath earlier but had been promptly pushed out.
So, resigned, he'd finished a quick rinse himself using conjured ice water.
Click.
After a while, the bathroom door opened, and the two girls stepped out barefoot in soft robes, their cheeks glowing pink and mist clinging to their hair.
Seeing Ye Chen waiting patiently on the bed, both of them felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation.
"What are you two standing there for? Come here, I've got another gift for you." Ye Chen smiled, beckoning them closer.
"Another gift? Really?"
Their eyes lit up instantly, and they hurried over, tumbling together onto the bed with excitement.
"What is it? Is it prettier than the bracelets?"
Wang Dong wrapped an arm around him from behind, playfully undoing the tie of her robe as she pressed closer against his back.
Xiao Xiao slid in on the other side, holding his arm gently, her cheek brushing his shoulder.
"Ahem… behave. This time it's something serious."
Ye Chen cleared his throat, feeling every bit of their closeness, then held out two smooth jade boxes.
The boxes weren't elaborately decorated but had a milky sheen, their surfaces cool to the touch—ideal containers for valuable treasures.
"Here, these are for both of you," Ye Chen said with a grin, handing the first box to Xiao Xiao. "This one's for you."
Xiao Xiao blinked, surprise flooding her expression before it melted into delighted curiosity.
She momentarily forgot her shyness, carefully taking the box in both hands.
"For… for me? What is it, Ye Chen?" she asked softly, her voice tender with excitement.
Even Wang Dong's attention turned fully to the box, her curiosity sparking as she nudged Xiao Xiao. "Yes! Open it, quick!"
Xiao Xiao carefully lifted the lid.
Pop.
A gentle snap, and at once a fresh, soothing fragrance spread through the air—clean as a bamboo grove after rain, delicate yet permeated with tranquil energy that eased the heart.
Unlike many celestial herbs known for their potent, overwhelming scent, this one carried a quiet serenity, like a breeze that touched the soul.
Inside lay a small, emerald-green plant.
Its leaves were long and slender, pure and radiant with the vitality of life. At its center clustered several tiny golden buds shaped like miniature bells, glowing faintly under the light.
"Wow… it's beautiful…" Xiao Xiao whispered, afraid to touch it, her eyes filled with wonder.
She could tell at a glance how precious it was—and didn't dare harm it even slightly.
"This is the Phoenix Song Purifying Heart Grass," Ye Chen explained with a proud smile. "It's an extremely rare top-grade celestial herb. Its medicinal properties are balanced and gentle—it purifies soul power, enhances recovery speed, and extends endurance. It's especially suited for control and support-type soul masters who need to sustain their abilities over time."
"Really? That amazing?"
Xiao Xiao's face lit up with joy.
As a control and support-type soul master, her battles always required her to maintain her cauldron's vibrations while simultaneously playing her flute—straining both her focus and soul power.
The ability to restore energy faster and remain in combat longer was exactly what she needed most!
