Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103: Getting Benefits

Li Yao exhaled deeply as she finished reviewing the final document. In truth, the Empress had done most of the work. She had first tried to guide her but it got so frustrating that she just did it herself.

Setting the papers aside, she thought to herself that her senior brother should have begun refining the bloodlines by now. It would be good to check on his progress.

With that thought in mind, she rose from her seat, crossed to the window, and flung it open. Without a backward glance, she launched herself into the air, her form streaking across the sky as she flew toward Mountain Heart Pavilion.

"Sect Master?" Elder Huang called out as she entered the chamber moments later, only to find it empty. Her eyes immediately landed on the open window, and understanding dawned. A knowing smile curved her lips as she crossed the room to close it. She thought to herself that despite her new position of authority, Li Yao remained the same impulsive, free-spirited girl she had always been.

Xiang Yu was just returning to his courtyard when Li Yao descended from the sky, landing gracefully before him. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she greeted him.

"Senior Brother, did you finish refining the bloodlines?" she asked enthusiastically. She thought to herself that if he hadn’t finished, she could pretend to help him and then...

"Yeah, it’s really great. Thanks," Xiang Yu replied warmly, genuinely grateful for such a valuable gift from his junior sister.

"As expected, you still haven’t..." Li Yao began automatically, before his words registered. Her eyes widened. "Wait! You did what?" Shock colored her voice. How could he have refined them so quickly? The Empress had said that even for her, it would have taken quite some time, and he was refining two of them simultaneously. How was that possible?

"I’ve refined them," Xiang Yu repeated simply.

"Let me check," she insisted, stepping forward without hesitation. Her hands reached for his robes, parting the fabric to expose his chest. Her fingers traced patterns across his skin as she leaned closer, causing Xiang Yu to blush slightly at her proximity.

[What are you doing? You can’t detect bloodlines like this,] the Empress’s voice echoed within Li Yao’s mind, her tone exasperated. [Even me, in my current state, am unable to detect bloodlines.]

"Hehehe, who said I’m detecting bloodlines? I’m just getting some benefits," Li Yao responded mentally.

When the Empress heard this, she retreated back to the spiritual sea without another word, unwilling to witness more of her host’s brazen behavior.

"Umm, Junior Sister..." Xiang Yu spoke nervously, his cheeks flushed crimson.

"Hmm?" she looked up at his blushing face innocently.

"Is that really necessary?" he asked, pointing at her hand that had wandered dangerously close to the waistband of his pants.

Only then did Li Yao realize she had become so engrossed in feeling his muscles that she had lost herself completely. Her face reddened instantly to match his, and she jumped backward as if scalded.

"Um—well..." she stammered, utterly flustered. Searching for an excuse, she managed, "Your physical strength has grown quite a bit."

"Is that so?" Xiang Yu smiled at the compliment, and Li Yao nodded vigorously, grateful for the change of subject.

"Here," Xiang Yu extended his hand toward Li Yao, offering her something.

Li Yao carefully picked up three paper talismans from his palm. "This is..."

Internally, he thought to himself that he had made it sound simple, but in reality, it had been incredibly difficult. He’d needed to manually devise improvements for the ninth grade explosion talisman to reach the eighth grade without any formulas like he’d received with cooking recipes. _{freeweb\n(o)v.e\l.com}
