Let me sleep for a bit—wake me in about twenty-five minutes. If Leikain sees me like this, he’ll nag again...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Elain can fall asleep mid-sentence—how many insomniacs would envy this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng moved with utmost care, one arm holding Elain’s waist, the other cradling her thigh, ensuring she wouldn’t slip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elain’s figure was similar to Zhu Yuan’s—tall, balanced, with graceful curves; her black slime resembled pudding, soft and gently rising and falling with each breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding her felt like embracing a solid mass of wool, still warm—but not light at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Ye Qingfeng’s body, strengthened by countless potions, felt the weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elain! You need to lose weight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind... better not. Her proportions are nearly perfect—can’t even imagine what she’d look like after losing weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng stared at her peaceful face, his gaze blank, his thoughts drifting far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peaceful moments... judging by the time, Ye Qingfeng gazed at Elain’s tranquil sleep and found himself reluctant to wake her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reluctant as he was, he still had to—this position, if seen by Leikain, would be disastrous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng smoothed Elain’s hair and whispered gently, “Elain~ dear Elain~ it’s time to wake up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm~ no...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elain kept her eyes shut, clutching Ye Qingfeng’s collar with her fingertips, nuzzling her cheek against his chest as she mumbled sleepily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those three simple words brimmed with resistance to waking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nope~ Leikain and the others will be back soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng was patient with Elain, poking her soft cheek with his finger, clearly feeling its bounce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elain opened her hazy eyes, propping herself up on Ye Qingfeng’s chest, slowly sitting upright, blinking around in confusion, her voice hoarse as she asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How long has it been?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About twenty-five minutes—if you were right about that, they should be returning soon,” Ye Qingfeng replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So annoying... I want to sleep!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elain reluctantly stood, but as soon as she took a step, her legs suddenly went weak; she quickly grabbed Ye Qingfeng’s shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong? Are you unwell?” Ye Qingfeng immediately steadied her, concerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m hungry...” Elain murmured softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m hungry—Qingfeng, do you have anything to eat?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elain sat on the armrest beside her, and as soon as she asked, she turned her head away, hopeless, staring straight at the ceiling, clutching her stomach and sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course... we’re still inside the Hollow—how could there be food? So hungry, so hungry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Elain wasn’t looking, Ye Qingfeng pulled out a loaf of bread and a few of her favorite candies from his spatial backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here!” He held them out to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bread? Candies?” Elain heard his voice, looked down, glanced at the food in his hand, then returned her gaze to the ceiling, “Guess I’m hallucinating from hunger—am I dying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng’s mouth twitched, his gaze toward Elain now tinged with exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t hunger-induced hallucination—this was being starved into stupidity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng tore open the bread and shoved it into Elain’s mouth, “What are you thinking? This is real food!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm! Real bread!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elain pressed both hands to her mouth, swallowing the bread in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here—candies too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng raised his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elain, tearfully grateful, snatched the candy, swiftly unwrapped it, popped it into her mouth, and quietly slipped the rest into her backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elain clutched the lollipop, tears welling, and hugged Ye Qingfeng’s neck tightly, “Qingfeng~ Wuwu ! I feel alive again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good girl.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng smoothed Elain’s hair again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this perfect moment, the door opening sounded jarringly out of place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng and Elain turned their heads in unison—the door stood wide open, Leikain and the others standing at the threshold, their gazes locking with the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Looks like we came at a bad time~” Lina teased with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kel... Kel didn’t see anything...” Kelin covered her eyes, fingers slightly parted, her eyes blinking through the gaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elain, I told you before—maintain decorum during work. Get off Young Master Ye immediately.” Leikain stood firm, voice calm yet leaving no room for refusal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elain flipped down to the floor, stood at attention with hands flat against her abdomen, her tongue nudging the candy inside her mouth, its bulge clearly visible on her cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leikain took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over Elain, noting her indifferent attitude, growing momentarily pained, then settling on Ye Qingfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Ye, we’ve completed our inspection—the cause of the power outage is now clear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no signal inside the Hollow—I couldn’t reach Ling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng answered honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood. I’ll find a way to contact the Rope Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Leikain turned, glancing at Lina with a meaningful look, then left without delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(In the plot, Leikain just called someone—yet logically, there should be no signal inside the Hollow...)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching Leikain depart, Lina walked into the room with a smile, elegantly settling onto the large sofa, gesturing to Kelin, who stood helplessly by the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelin scurried over on her short legs, sat beside Lina, hiding behind her, timidly stealing glances at Ye Qingfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Qingfeng, please sit beside me,” Lina patted the empty space beside her, “Would you mind letting Elain have the sofa to rest?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Ye Qingfeng’s reply, she looked at Elain and said, “Elain, you worked hard today—rest properly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not a child anymore—don’t trouble Young Master Qingfeng, alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: Tap to request more updates!
