Aren’t I incredibly foresighted? Your little brain couldn’t dream of it in a lifetime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t say… it’s… really…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng was left speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth was, he hadn’t thought of it at all—even if he had, he’d never actually do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder she’s Zhe’s little sister! She pulls off things he could never imagine—wait, are they even blood-related?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of Ye Qingfeng’s daze, Ling eagerly reached for his pants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, don’t rush.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you can’t do it, just say so!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pathetic provocation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsk! Let’s be clear—you won’t regret it later, once the arrow’s on the string, it’s already fired.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! I’ve already knocked your brother out—I’ve already burned the boats. Afraid? Not possible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eh? Huh!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling watched the entire transformation—from little thing to big thing—her excited smile froze, her eyes spun in their sockets, her heart trembled with dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No... not...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody told her it’d be this big!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Scared? Then just say you can’t!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng propped his hands behind his head—he wasn’t easily baited, but Ling Bao? Maybe she was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scared? I don’t even know how to write the word!” Ling blustered, though inside she was still uneasy; she took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng never expected Ling to move so fast—he couldn’t stop her in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, her cries turned to pained moans; another half hour passed, and she was utterly lost in it, unable to pull away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep into the night, Ling collapsed, exhausted, her arms tightly wrapped around Ye Qingfeng’s waist, eyes closed in peaceful slumber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng leaned against the bed, feeling a void—not physical, but spiritual. Before, he’d been evenly matched with Catyou on drugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling’s constitution couldn’t compare to Catyou on drugs, not even to Nico’s—she lasted barely an hour; the rest of the time, he carried the burden alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Ling exhausted herself first and collapsed without a second thought—she was satisfied… but Xiao Qingfeng remained erect…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng suppressed the blazing fire in his chest, gazing listlessly at the ceiling and sighing deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, a man who never smoked, now wanted nothing more than a cigarette—this was too frustrating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carefully prying open Ling’s arms, he rushed straight to the bathroom to take a cold shower. Now that she was sound asleep, Zhe was probably sleeping even deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng had no qualms—he turned the faucet to the coldest setting, full blast. The icy water drenched his head, slowly dousing the fire within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling was the classic type: weak but eager. Her animal spirit form gave her no boost; her combat power couldn’t match Catyou’s single finger, and unlike Nico, she had zero self-awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others knew when to retreat when outmatched—Ling only grew more determined, ignoring all exhaustion, which led to this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng was certainly annoyed—could this thing just stop on command?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless Zhe suddenly burst in!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait—did he just jinx himself?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no temptation nearby and the cold water washing over him, Ye Qingfeng gradually calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dried himself quickly, threw on his clothes, and rushed to Zhe’s room—confirmed he was deeply asleep—then turned back to Ling’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he entered, he heard heavy snores—no surprise; when someone is utterly exhausted, they often sleep like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng slipped quickly under the covers. Ling, as if sensing him, immediately wrapped her arms around him, one leg draping over his body like a curled hedgehog, snuggling into his chest, her head naturally resting on his sternum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her soft, warm body was like a furnace, instantly melting away his chill; after prolonged exertion, she radiated a rich, heavy scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her natural scent, mixed with sweat, was sweeter than usual, faintly damp and clinging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowering his head, bathed in moonlight, he caught the faint outline of her face—the upturned corners of her lips, proof she slept peacefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng’s mind was now clear. He lay flat, letting Ling press against him, feeling the soft, yielding warmth, and drifted slowly into sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next noon, the first to wake was still Ye Qingfeng. Logically, he should’ve been drained—but the opposite was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he opened his eyes, he felt brimming with energy—the Tizhijinjieyaoshui  was still active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He struggled to sit up, but the arm draped over him tightened suddenly—like a python coiling, squeezing the breath from him—her serene face paled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng froze, gently stroking the top of her head, an unconscious smile tugging at his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Bao really is adorable—so sweet to look at~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing her prey had gone still, Ling relaxed the muscles around him, her lips pressing together, then softly pouting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It melted Ye Qingfeng’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qingfeng~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling’s cloying voice suddenly sounded. Ye Qingfeng replied gently: “What is it? Hungry?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she… sleep-talking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng called her several times—no response. Confirmed: it was pure dream-speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her still sleeping soundly, he exhaled in relief and decided to get up and prepare lunch. From past experience, she’d be useless all day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange—last time with Catyou, the intensity was over twice this, yet she woke up fine the next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nico suffered all day—Ling, weaker than Nico, should’ve been weak for two or three days, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just his guess—his eyes could see it: Ling’s once-rosy cheeks had lost most of their color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked pitiful—such a little Kelian .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she’s hungry when she wakes, we’ll serve beef or lamb for lunch; if not, just porridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, eating meat is more practical than gulping goji berries and red dates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng gently pried open the thigh resting on his abdomen, then unhooked the arms wrapped around him, lifting her head onto the pillow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should’ve taken ten seconds—he spent nearly a minute, and when he finished, he wiped sweat from his brow. To an outsider, it looked like he’d performed a complex surgery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm—Qingfeng—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ye Qingfeng opened the door to leave, Ling’s voice suddenly called from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He jumped in alarm, then realized she might be unwell—he dashed to the bedside, frantic:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ling, are you sick? Where does it hurt? It’s okay, it’s okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After revising it repeatedly and failing approval, he finally deleted it entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>",1051,"2026-06-20T20:13:18.411Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a7c7a28d311fca7e08e6d95d00adbe39332be23a43c2ff48c7fc0359c207ad3a","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-253","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-251",280,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flove-life-begins-in-new-eliad-cover.jpg"]
