Ye Qiu had just entered the room when he heard a knock on the door, thinking it might be soone else. To his surprise, it was Miranda.
Maybe because of Miranda’s confession last night, there was an indescribable feeling between the two.
"Is sothing up?"
Ye Qiu sat down directly and asked.
"Didn’t you just go to et the coffee bean boss? How co you’re back so soon?"
"It’s settled, bought a hundred tons, and it’ll be sent back to Huaxia via the Panama Canal." Ye Qiu spoke casually, as if those hundred tons of coffee beans cost nothing.
This left Miranda speechless.
While sitting next to Ye Qiu, Miranda realized Ye Qiu had many things to consider. After returning to the country, he needed Luo Yang and the others to quickly find a suitable place to open a coffee shop, and a redesign would surely be in order.
As for hiring staff, that would be up to them.
Miranda couldn’t tell what Ye Qiu was thinking, only that he wasn’t looking at her.
"Nothing much, I’m planning to take a nap."
It was afternoon, and since they weren’t going out, the only option was to rest at the hotel.
Miranda looked at Ye Qiu, wanting to say sothing but ultimately remained silent.
By dinnerti, Ye Qiu got up, washed, and headed to Zhou’s restaurant in Chinatown.
After dinner at the restaurant, Miranda wanted to take a stroll with Ye Qiu along the nearby seaside.
Since that was the plan, Ye Qiu drove with Miranda to the seaside. The weather was still quite pleasant, and the Kingston coast under the night sky had an excellent ambiance. Ye Qiu and Miranda led the way, while Luo Yang and the others followed behind.
The scenery was good, but it was never like ho. Ye Qiu knew that tomorrow, regardless of how negotiations went, it was pretty certain he’d be heading back.
Ye Qiu leaned on the railing, his gaze fixed on Miranda, sensing she wanted to say sothing.
"Miranda, after returning to Cuba tomorrow, you need to go back to your classes. You’ve taken quite a bit of leave."
"I might lose a lot of credits," Miranda said.
"Well, you can make them up later."
To Ye Qiu, attending university was just a part of enjoying life, and as for grades, he’d surely aim for the top of the entire academy.
Miranda still said nothing, and when they returned to the hotel, Martinez took Ning Yun and the others out to a bar while Ye Qiu showered and continued his cultivation.
Last night, Ye Qiu felt he was close to a breakthrough in his cultivation.
Therefore, Ye Qiu planned to strive for a breakthrough tonight.
Sitting cross-legged by the window, the moonlight stread in, and the spiritual energy flowed into his ridians, quickly transforming into true qi stored in the dantian.
As more spiritual energy gathered and transford into that true qi, when the dantian could sustain a certain amount of true qi in its space, the process of quantitative change to qualitative change would occur, known as breakthrough.
Ye Qiu felt a ’rumbling’ explosion, vaguely seeing a lotus-like object appear in the dantian. When he opened his eyes, he knew he had made another breakthrough.
He had progressed from the peak of the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining to the Early Stage of the Ninth Layer.
Ye Qiu felt sweat all over his body, perhaps due to the recent breakthrough, prompting him to plan to shower again. Once more, a knock sounded at the door.
Ye Qiu opened the door, already guessing it was Miranda.
Miranda, in a nightgown, darted in like a little sprite, and imdiately hugged Ye Qiu, feeling the masculine scent he carried.
"Midnight, why did you co over here and hug ? I’m all sweaty, need to shower."
So that was it.
Miranda looked a bit embarrassed, displaying more shyness.
As she stood there, Ye Qiu turned on the air conditioning and grabbed a pair of shorts, heading to the bathroom for a comfortable shower.
Although every cultivation helps gradually expel impurities from the body, during the Qi Refinent Realm, it’s not much. Upon reaching the Foundation Establishnt Stage, even external impurities would be expelled.
In fact, reaching the Fasting Stage ans surviving on morning dew, without needing grains and cereals.
By then, one is truly disconnected from ordinary life, fully becoming a cultivator.
However, Ye Qiu was uncertain when he’d be able to sense and reopen the invincible Storage Ring he brought in this life.
The treasures inside were plentiful, making it easier for Ye Qiu to do as he pleased with their aid.
After showering, Ye Qiu erged in just shorts, thinking Miranda had returned to her room, only to find her asleep in his bed.
This girl was too fond of sleeping in his bed. Now that Ye Qiu had just achieved a breakthrough in cultivation, he couldn’t continue and needed to rest.
"You should head back to your room to sleep; I’m not sleeping on the couch!"
There was a luxury suite, but unless he needed to cultivate, why should Ye Qiu sleep on the couch?
Miranda timidly used the bed sheet to cover her face, saying, "I never said you should sleep on the couch."
"Miranda, you’re asking for trouble, don’t bla ."
Ye Qiu jumped on and tightly embraced her.
Miranda felt nervous, as she initially thought Ye Qiu might "consu" her, fearing it might hurt. But unexpectedly, Ye Qiu just hugged her without taking any action.
Actually, Ye Qiu found that hugging the soft Miranda was indeed more comfortable than sleeping alone.
When Miranda realized Ye Qiu hadn’t done anything, she unknowingly let out a sigh of relief.
Ye Qiu woke up in the morning, already after eight o’clock.
"Miranda, are you awake?"
"Why didn’t you do anything to last night?"
"I’m not enticed by beauty right now." With Miranda, it was impossible to explain; until breakthrough into the Foundation Establishnt Stage, one shouldn’t touch beauty. Otherwise, further cultivation might beco more complicated.
As Ye Qiu got up and prepared to dress for washing, he said to Miranda, "Anyway, you’re my woman now, you’re only mine, understand?"
Miranda looked at Ye Qiu, sowhat incredulous.
Though Ye Qiu hadn’t taken her, he had claid a spot, marking Miranda as solely his.
After washing up, Miranda shyly returned to her room.
Recalling Ye Qiu’s words, she still couldn’t quite comprehend them.
Upon awakening Luo Yang and the others, he found they were not in high spirits. If not for today’s important tasks, he would have let them rest here.
