Wuhan’s feet staggered backward as if Xin Yan’s cold eyes were staring directly at him, though she was actually looking at Shisan, who froze in fear. Even though this was Shisan’s first ti eting Xin Yan in her new body, she found her oddly familiar.
Shisan narrowed her eyes and looked at the woman warily. She did not dare to look down on Xin Yan just because she couldn’t sense her cultivation; after all, Xin Yan had just taken her full-powered punch head-on without a single scratch on her body.
’Did she just take that punch without even using her qi? Who could…’ Just then, Xin Yan’s previous image overlapped in her mind. But before she could even think about it, Noah opened his eyes and shot a ray of light at the back of her head.
"Take a good rest." Xin Yan reappeared behind Shisan and knocked her out with a chop. Shisan’s eyes rolled backward as a set of mories started appearing in her mind. Xin Yan caught her before she could fall to the ground and turned around to look back.
Outside the room, a woman covered in a qi shield stood there unhard, hugging the sleeping body of a small child tightly. Her eyes were closed shut while her body trembled, fearing for their safety.
Xin Yan sighed, seeing her unhard. Clearing the broken door fragnts around the woman, she walked towards her.
Noah smiled, removed the qi shield he had made to protect the woman, and looked at them curiously.
"It’s fine now, open your eyes." Wu Ping slowly opened her eyes, hearing the familiar soothing voice of her madam. She cald down, seeing the warm, caring smile on Xin Yan’s face.
Taking a deep breath, the first thing she checked was the health of her son. After that, she looked at the woman in Xin Yan’s arms with a curious look in her eyes.
"Xin Yan, you are back… This young lady is?" Ming Ye sighed, seeing everything was over, and ca over to her with a slight smile on his old face. Wu Ping moved her eyes to the old man and the beautiful young woman following behind him.
She had never seen soone as beautiful as her in her life besides Xin Yan. Ruo’er walked forward took Shisan from her hands carefully and placed her back on the bed she had been sleeping on before.
Had it not been for Ming Ye protecting them, they would have been destroyed along with the two boys lying there.
"Old man Ming, this is Wu Ping, a new maid I hired while taking care of soone else’s ss." Xin Yan replied with a slight nod of her head, as a form of greeting.

*Woosh!*
*Bang!*
As soon as she said that, she waved her hand and threw sothing in a certain direction.
Ming Ye and Ruo’er looked back surprised by her sudden actions, they saw Wuhan, trying to silently sneak away, was startled to see a 4-ter-long hairy spider leg stopping his way.
"You are not thinking of sneaking away, are you?" Her cold, amused voice echoed in the room, sending shivers down Wuhan’s spine. Wuhan slowly turned around only to see Xin Yan smiling at him. Despite how fragile it looked, the leg had stabbed itself into the strong wall effortlessly.
’Demon!!! She is a demon’ Wuhan did not dare to say out loud that he saw a demonic smile on her face, but he was sure that smile was not a smile at all. She was looking at him sharply through the small gaps of her curved eyes.
"Why are you trembling…?" Xin Yan appeared worried about Wuhan’s state, seeing him trembling on his feet. Ming Ye shook his head as Ruo’er silently chuckled at Wuhan’s pitiful appearance.
"Were you planning to go sowhere?" She asked again with a smile on her face.
"I have so work left to do in… the capital city." He was going to stay in the castle but changed his words, seeing the unknown woman behind Xin Yan.
Wu Ping was startled, seeing Xin Yan’s sudden change in attitude. ’Does master like this weird-looking man?’
"Sect master isn’t going to stay ho for dinner? I was thinking of cooking sothing special for you." Xin Yan insisted with the sa smile on her face.
"I… Ekkk!" Just as Wuhan was about to reject the offer, he felt another sharp predatory gaze on his body. Sensing the intense dark emotions coming from his ’good friend,’ Wuhan cursed in his heart. ’Damn you fucking psychotic couples! Can’t you tell that she is planning sothing here? What are you jealous about?!’
While Wuhan was making a life-or-death decision, Xin Yan took a step in his direction, scaring him a lot.
"Wait! Wait! Wait! I will stay for dinner!" Seeing her coming closer to him, Wuhan panicked and imdiately agreed to it. There was no way he would risk getting beaten when he could get away by eating sothing.
He ignored the increasingly dark aura coming from behind, his back drenched in sweat that increased even further when he saw Xin Yan was still coming towards him.
"Hey… Hey! I agreed, what more do you—" Wuhan blushed in embarrassnt when he saw Xin Yan moving past him, ignoring him blatantly. He could feel his cheeks and ears burning from sha when he saw the look Ming Ye and his granddaughter were giving him.
"Are you okay?" Xin Yan walked past Wuhan and stopped in front of Noah. She raised her hands to touch Noah’s cheeks but stopped in between, the mory of his kiss with Elysia flashing through her mind, followed by a sharp pain in her heart.
Seeing Xin Yan standing before him, all the dark aura from Noah vanished without a trace, replaced by a sunny aura.
Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Noah used his hands to place her hand on his cheek and warmly caressed it. Looking deep into her eyes, he replied, "I am fine now."
Xin Yan’s eyes widened before her lips curved into a warm smile. "It’s good."
