BXBX NOVEL Chapter 184: Yan Yuehua's Answer
Feng Yu and Feng Qian had been there as well, and they chimed in with additional details whenever necessary.
By the end of it, Xu Qianghua could only sigh. "So much for wanting a peaceful world," he muttered, shaking his head.
Yan Yuehua and the other ladies looked at him in confusion.
"Master?" Feng Yu asked, tilting her head.
"What do you mean by that, Master?" Feng Qian asked, concern evident in her voice.
"Hmm, how can I explain this..." Xu Qianghua paused, thinking deeply.
"You see, I knew the world would slowly become a place where strength ruled and conflicts would inevitably lead to violence.
But I had hoped that people would simply enjoy the new world in peace, growing alongside it.
From the looks of things, though, people in power are never satisfied, no matter the world," he said, sighing once more.
"Master..." Feng Qian, the eldest of the ladies, could only look at him in dismay.
"I guess we can\'t really blame them," Xu Qianghua added, his tone trying to lift the mood. "Everyone has the right to make their own choices and live according to their desires."
Feng Yu looked thoughtful for a moment before asking, "Master, if that\'s the case, are we going to try to revert the world to how it was before? Like the last world?"
At this, everyone in the room shook their heads, and Feng Qian responded, "Sister, haven\'t you read all those cultivation novels?
There\'s never been a force that could restrain cultivators and make them behave like mortals."
"But the world is different from those stories, right? We have the power to stop the warring, and we could use it to improve the world. Wouldn\'t that be better?" Feng Yu countered, her eyes wide with hope.
Xu Qianghua paused to consider her words before answering. "It would be better in some ways, but think about it this way: we\'re not the heroes of a story.
We don\'t have the obligation to save the world. Instead, it\'s more like we\'re spectators, watching the events unfold.
Even if we wanted to, we couldn\'t control everything. The future is always uncertain, and even if we did everything perfectly, the outcome might still change."
He leaned back slightly, gazing out of the window. "That doesn\'t mean we\'ll become emotionless or indifferent, though.
We care about the overall situation, and everything we do is for the future."
Feng Yu nodded slowly. "I think I understand now, Master."
"Good. Now, go do your own thing. I need to talk to Yan\'er," Xu Qianghua said as he playfully slapped Feng Yu\'s behind.
"Hey!" Feng Yu yelped, her cheeks flushing as she turned to glare at him.
Feng Qian quickly came over, laughing as she pulled her sister away. "Come on, sister. Master said we should focus on our own tasks."
Xu Qianghua watched them leave with a smile, shaking his head before turning his attention to Yan Yuehua. "So, have you decided?" he asked, his tone soft.
Yan Yuehua blushed deeply but nodded. "Y-yes."
"I see," Xu Qianghua responded with a gentle smile.
He stood up and walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her in a warm embrace before leaning down to kiss her.
The sudden action surprised Yan Yuehua, but she quickly melted into the kiss, savoring the feel of his lips against hers. After a few moments, they pulled away, both breathing heavily.
"Follow me," Xu Qianghua whispered.
He led her to the bedroom connected to the office.
As they entered the room, a formation was activated, which included soundproofing and other important formations.
All of the rooms for the Shaodw members are like this, connected to the main office as they are some of the most workaholic people he knows.
So he was not surprised by this arrangement, but instead, it helped him as he did not have to leave the room itself to head to the bedroom.
"Are you ready?" he asked, his eyes locked on hers.
Yan Yuehua took a deep breath before nodding. "Yes."
Xu Qianghua could see the determination in her eyes, making him smile. She was taking this seriously, just like the other ladies had. While he was happy to see that, some of him still felt slightly concerned.
Sensing his hesitation, he sat on the bed and gently pulled her onto his lap, caressing her cheek with his thumb. "Relax. Everything will be fine," he reassured her.
To ease the tension, he kissed her again, letting her grow more accustomed to the intimacy. Her face flushed even deeper, but when he pulled away, her eyes fluttered open, meeting his gaze.
"A-are we are going to...?" her voice trailed off, leaving the question unspoken but understood.
"Do you want to?" Xu Qianghua asked softly, tilting his head slightly.
Yan Yuehua hesitated, her cheeks glowing red. "I-if you don\'t want to, I understand," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
She didn\'t want to force him into anything, especially since she still felt uncertain about her own desires.
Xu Qianghua chuckled gently, shaking his head. "You\'re overthinking this, Yan\'er. We can do it if you want to."
Yan Yuehua bit her lip, but then she nodded with more confidence. "I do want to."
Xu Qianghua\'s smile widened as he slowly stood up, lifting her in his arms as he did. "Alright, then."
He carried her to the bathroom attached to the bedroom, planning to take a bath together before anything else.
Yan Yuehua felt his warmth against her, and she buried her face in his chest, imagining what might happen next.
Her mind raced, but she trusted him completely. Whatever happened next, she was ready.
And while she was thinking about this, Xu Qianghua had already arrived at the bathroom, and with a snap of his fingers, the clothes covering their bodies disappeared.
