She just felt strange and ashamed.
"Miss Anne must be tired."
Su Feng chuckled softly, seemingly unconcerned about what had just happened. "Let me take you back to rest. I'll give you a talisman to ensure you sleep soundly."
Anne did not refuse, nodded, and followed Su Feng out of the mortuary.
……
Su Feng had the most precious incense delivered, and once lit, a faint fragrance would fill the room.
It can help calm the mind and improve sleep quality.
Furthermore, under the influence of the purification mantra, Annie's relaxed state of mind finally eased...
She lay on the edge of the bed, looking shyly at Su Feng sitting at the table.
This was the first time in her life that she had allowed a man other than her father into her room.
There was an inexplicable ambiguity in it... making her heart flutter and her mind go blank.
I'm worried that something might happen... but I'm also worried that nothing will happen.
"what happened?"
Su Feng, who was reading the scriptures, noticed Annie's intense gaze and looked up slightly. "Are you thirsty?"
"No, no... It's really troublesome to keep Young Master Su waiting here for me."
Anne buried half her face in the blanket and said shyly.
"It's alright, Miss Annie, please sleep soundly... I will leave once you are asleep."
Su Feng lowered his head and continued reading the scriptures in his hands.
He was indeed somewhat worried about Annie's mental state, and when he saw her at the mortuary just now, he couldn't help but sigh.
A beautiful young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old appeared to have aged six or seven years in just a few days.
His eyes were glazed over, and his face was pale...
That's why he sat here, continuously casting the Purifying Mantra and channeling a faint spiritual energy so that Annie could sleep peacefully.
"...Did I disturb you here?" Su Feng looked again and asked.
Anne quickly shook her head, "No, no, that's not true! I, I just..."
Annie was too shy to say the second half of the sentence, and could only blink her big eyes, staring at Su Feng with a strange look...
She mustered her courage and spoke softly, "Young Master Su, could you sit next to me? For some reason, I feel at ease and can fall asleep whenever you are next to me."
Hearing this absurd request, Su Feng couldn't help but chuckle, almost bursting out laughing.
He closed the scripture in his hand, got up and went to the bedside, sitting down on the side of the bed. "Are you feeling better now?"
The little head, huddled under the covers, nodded gently. Then, another voice came, "Young Master Su... may I hold your hand?"
Before Su Feng could respond, a slender, delicate hand emerged from under the covers and gently placed on the back of Su Feng's hand.
"...Young Master Su's hands are so warm..."
Annie closed her eyes and held Su Feng's hand tightly.
This feeling of basking in the spring sunshine, enveloped in warmth, is wonderful—

Chapter 198 Parting Gift of Top-Grade Spirit Stones! Farewell to Qinghai!
The moon rises above the branches, and a cool evening breeze blows.
Su Feng quietly left Annie's room and closed the door.
Whether it was psychological or not, Annie actually fell asleep shortly after he sat by the bed.
"She's a silly girl..."
Su Feng shook his head and smiled, then looked down at the palm of his right hand.
The warmth of Annie's palm still lingers within.
Different temperatures...
"Fellow Daoist Su."
Just then, Qinghai's voice suddenly came from the corridor. Turning around, I saw him standing there.
Seeing that Qinghai was carrying a bag, Su Feng raised an eyebrow. "Fellow Daoist Qinghai, are you leaving? Wasn't it supposed to be tomorrow?"
Qinghai stepped forward and chuckled softly, "There's really no other way..."
"Marshal Jiang had been trying to persuade me to stay, and in the afternoon he persuaded me, and I couldn't resist him, so I chose to leave at this time and have some peace and quiet."
He was determined to leave, and no one could stop him.
Even if Jiang Dalong offered the most tempting conditions...
He didn't want to work for anyone; he only wanted to travel the world and live his own way.
Elegance is his consistent style.
“I see,” Su Feng nodded thoughtfully. “Then I’ll escort you for a while.”
"I couldn't possibly accept that. I just came to say hello and then left."
Qinghai was somewhat flattered and quickly waved his hand.
"It's alright, Fellow Daoist Qinghai, there's no need to be so polite."
Since Su Feng insisted, it would be impolite for Qinghai to refuse again, so he could only nod gratefully, "Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Su."
……
Like other places, Luhua Town was unusually quiet at night.
The deserted streets and the star-studded night sky seemed completely disconnected from the world below...
The sky is full of stars, yet they cannot illuminate the path ahead.
Su Feng and Qinghai walked side by side to the entrance of the town. Following the path ahead, they could exit the border...
"Fellow Daoist Su, this is enough."
The two stopped in their tracks. Qinghai turned around and respectfully bowed to Su Feng, saying, "It is truly my great honor to have met Fellow Daoist Su this time..."
"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely go to Renjia Town to pay another proper visit to Fellow Daoist Su..."
Su Feng smiled and said, "That's no problem at all... Oh, by the way, before we part, I have something to give you."
As he spoke, Su Feng took out two top-grade spirit stones from his Qiankun bag and handed them to Qinghai.
"This...this is..."
Qinghai was shocked. After he came to his senses, he stared in disbelief, his face full of disbelief!
"I can't accept such expensive spirit stones!"
He wasn't stupid; having traveled the world, he knew perfectly well how precious these spirit stones were to cultivators.
Even ordinary quality spirit stones are something many cultivators would fight tooth and nail to obtain.
Not to mention the piece I have in my hand, which is top-quality!
The spiritual energy contained within was far beyond his imagination!
“Haha—” Su Feng chuckled softly, “Fellow Daoist Qinghai, there’s no need to be so polite. Just consider this a return gift.”
The golden Buddha statue of Arhat with outstretched hands and the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra that Qinghai presented to him today are simply priceless treasures!
These two top-grade spirit stones are simply incomparable.
In addition, Qinghai has helped him a lot and put in a lot of effort in the past few days, so these spirit stones can be considered a gift.
In his future spiritual practice, he can also provide a lot of help to Qinghai.
Qinghai's eyes were slightly red, and he nodded gratefully.
"Fellow Daoist Su, I truly have no way to repay your kindness!"
Qinghai sniffed, quickly bowed, and said, "Then I'll take my leave. Hope we can meet again someday!"
To hide the tears that were about to spill from his eyes, Qinghai quickly turned his face away and pretended to be nonchalant as he set off.
The two spirit stones in his hand seemed to respond to him, emitting a green glow at his fingertips.
Watching Qinghai's figure disappear into the distance, Su Feng also turned around and returned to the inn.
He did indeed have the idea of keeping Qinghai.
Although Qinghai is not considered a particularly gifted cultivator, his achievements in cultivation are only moderate and not outstanding...
But its strength lies in its adaptability, and personality determines everything.
Su Feng is happy to cultivate people like Qinghai who are responsible and have a strong sense of justice.
Unfortunately, those who walk different paths cannot make plans together...
Qinghai yearns for the vast blue sky and sea, the boundless天地 (heaven and earth)... Since their aspirations are different, there is no need for him to force him to stay.
"It seems it's time to leave."
Passing through the upper district, Su Feng saw that the once-damaged Marshal's Mansion had now been rebuilt, and he muttered to himself.
It is likely that Jiang Dalong's soldiers have repaired and rebuilt all the damage previously suffered in Luhua Town during this period.
There's nothing to do if I stay here any longer...
This trip has lasted for almost ten days.
For some reason, he suddenly missed Chen Yue and Chen Xing.
"I wonder what they're doing now?"
