Chapter 29: Being Good at Washing Dishes is Impressive

Breakfast was a pleasant affair. After finishing, Corona carried the dishes to the streamside to wash them. The stream gurgled, crystal clear. The female mage hummed softly, not entirely sure why she felt so happy. Was it because of Xu Feng? He had become her junior brother, and now an invisible bond bound them together.

Though shy and unwilling to admit it, Corona knew that the boy's shadow had already been deeply imprinted on her heart.

"Is this the legendary love?" the girl murmured softly.

"Senior sister!"

A voice suddenly calling out startled Corona. Turning around, she saw the rascal with a stalk of grass in his mouth, smiling at her.

Corona felt all the blood in her body rush to her face, her ears burning red with embarrassment... Had he heard what she just said?

The girl felt weak in the knees, almost unable to stand. Xu Feng stepped forward to support her delicate frame... which was practically a half-embrace.

"Senior sister, what's wrong?"

"You... what are you doing here?"

The girl's voice trembled, unsure whether from fear or shyness.

"I came to get my gift!"

"Gift?"

"Yes." A mischievous smile played at the corners of Xu Feng's mouth. "Now that I'm your junior brother, Master gave me the Dragon Soul. As my senior sister, what do you plan to give me?"

As he spoke, the boy's gaze wandered mischievously toward the girl's chest. Corona had a figure to die for, and her current posture accentuated her enticing curves—the perfect proportions that could drive any man wild.

Noticing his gaze, Corona's face flushed even redder. But for some reason, she wasn't angry; instead, a secret thrill stirred within her. Her voice trembled slightly. "You... what do you want?"

"Not much." Xu Feng paused, deliberately stringing her along. A sexy beauty, when shy, was irresistibly alluring. "I just want a kiss from my senior sister as a gift."

Phew—Corona breathed a sigh of relief. At least he hadn't made a more demanding request, though a faint sense of disappointment lingered. She really was a bundle of contradictions.

The girl closed her eyes, but after a long while, nothing happened. Corona grew curious and opened her eyes. Xu Feng smiled slightly. "Senior sister, since it's a gift, of course you should kiss me, just like last night."

"This rascal." Corona's face flushed even deeper. After a moment's hesitation, she obediently pressed her lips to his, giving a light peck. Just as she tried to pull away, Xu Feng, prepared, tightened his arms, pulling her into his embrace for a deep kiss. His tongue skillfully eased past her lips and slipped into her sweet mouth.

As the lingering kiss continued, the girl's body gradually softened. Her arms wrapped around the boy's neck, her eyes growing hazy as she lost herself in the intoxicating kiss. Meanwhile, Xu Feng's hand quietly slid up from her slender waist to caress her enticing peaks—the sensation was exquisite.

Men were always insatiable. Seeing Corona still lost in the kiss, Xu Feng's hand grew bolder, sliding beneath the girl's clothes...

"Ah!"

A soft cry escaped as Corona broke free from the boy's embrace, shooting Xu Feng a look that was half-scolding, half-teasing. This rascal—he clearly said he'd only kiss her.

"Senior sister, you're too beautiful. I couldn't help myself, hehe."

"You're still saying that?"

...

Though it sounded like a reprimand, her soft tone was more like a lover's coquettish complaint!

Corona's blush hadn't faded, and she couldn't bring herself to meet the boy's gaze. She returned to the stream to wash the dishes. Xu Feng squatted beside her. Corona felt a bit nervous, but Xu Feng remained silent. There was an Earth saying: "Haste makes waste." Corona had a very sexy figure, but her personality was that of a rather shy girl. He needed to take things step by step.

Xu Feng picked up the dishes and silently helped her wash them.

To Xu Feng, this was an ordinary task, but Corona was astonished. "You know how to wash dishes?"

The question was strange. Xu Feng gave her a puzzled look. Wasn't washing dishes simple?

For a moment, Xu Feng didn't consider that Hailan Star was still in the Middle Ages, and the social atmosphere... well, it was similar to ancient China, where gender inequality prevailed. Not only was Xu Feng a noble—a viscount personally appointed by the emperor—but even ordinary civilian men never did household chores.

And Xu Feng's proficiency in washing dishes was no slower than hers. What was going on?

"How does a boy know how to do such things?"

"What's wrong with a man doing it?"

Xu Feng smiled gently, taking the girl's hand—though this time, it wasn't to tease her. "Such delicate, jade-like hands should be well protected. If they get rough from household chores, I'd feel heartbroken. Besides, when two people love each other, what's wrong with the man doting on the girl a little more and helping with the chores?"

Truth be told... It was easy for him to say. As a viscount, he had plenty of maids and servants at home, so he never actually did household chores. But his words still deeply moved Corona. On Hailan Star, other men always saw women as possessions, valuing only their beauty and bodies. Who would treat them with such genuine sincerity?

At that moment, Corona knew she had truly accepted this boy. For the rest of her life, she would marry no one but him!

Meanwhile, in the woods a few hundred meters away.

"See that? That's what a master looks like."

"Yeah, that girl Nana's heart is completely tied to Xu Feng. That kid is not only a genius at learning magic but also a super genius at wooing girls!"

Two men stood in the woods. In front of them floated a crystal ball, using a mirroring spell to transmit everything that had just happened. Bater and Kelaibafei—at this moment, they showed none of the demeanor of top-tier experts or dignified mentors. They were secretly watching Xu Feng and Corona's date!

"That kid is really bold and sweet-talking. No wonder girls like him. Back in my day..."

"Master, don't say it. I know you were too timid to confess to the girl you liked when you were young and ended up single your whole life."

Stung by the remark, Kelaibafei glared angrily at the knight beside him. "Bater, you're no better! To this day, you've never been in a relationship!"

The two fell silent, exchanging helpless glances. No wonder the saying went, "Everyone has their weaknesses." These two experts had abysmally low emotional intelligence. In their youth, they were celebrated and accomplished, yet they never managed to win a girl's affection... pitiful.
