Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Problem with White-haired Girl’s Template! (Please follow)
Xiao Ye’s gaze dropped, landing on those crystal-clear insteps and the small, delicate, pink soles.
Jade feet!
Xiao Ye wasn’t even into feet, but those jade feet still caught all his attention. Staring at those soft, fair-with-a-hint-of-rosy toes, he just reached right out and touched them.
Ziran sensed something was off, felt a bit awkward, looked up, and blurted out, "Xiao Ye, I told you to put sunscreen on me, but you’re touching my feet? Where’s the sunscreen?"
Xiao Ye chuckled awkwardly, "Sorry, I forgot to pour out the sunscreen."
He gave them a couple gentle squeezes, then quickly poured some sunscreen and went at it again.
His hands slid smoothly, and he could feel just how delicate and soft her skin was.
*Shit, killing intent!*
Just then, Xiao Ye felt an icy chill shoot up his back. When he turned around, Yun Bing’s beautiful but very pissed-off face was right there, staring daggers at him.
"Well, it’s one thing to put sunscreen on her legs, but now you’re touching her feet too? You really are something." Yun Bing hoisted Xiao Ye up with one hand and snorted, "Let Ziran put on her own damn sunscreen; why does my husband have to do her stinky feet?"
"Next, you’re putting sunscreen on me!" she huffed.
Xiao Ye looked a little embarrassed, caught red-handed messing with feet. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Uh, didn’t you say, with your realm, you don’t even need sunscreen?"
Yun Bing’s beautiful eyes went wide as she snapped, "I changed my mind, so what? Are you saying my feet stink, and you don’t want to do it?"
"Hmph, you don’t have to do anything else, just my feet."
Xiao Ye grinned, "Of course they don’t stink, Sister Yun Bing’s feet could never stink."
Yun Bing hauled Xiao Ye over to her lounge chair, then flopped down herself. She shoved both her feet right into Xiao Ye’s lap, squinting and saying, "Didn’t you want to grope some feet? Go for it, put the sunscreen on me."
Xiao Ye nodded right away, acting totally natural, and had zero hesitation giving Yun Bing the sunscreen treatment.
Because Yun Bing was his own wife, he didn’t hold back at all—rubbing, kneading, even poking here and there, he did it all with real flair.
With her Venerable Realm body, there wasn’t a speck of impurity left in Yun Bing. Her skin even had a natural fragrance; her feet didn’t pick up bacteria, and athlete’s foot didn’t even exist here. Xiao Ye had no problem (even enjoyed) handling them at all.
All of a sudden, he received Ziran’s voice transmission, "Xiao Ye, you not only stared at my legs, you got to touch them. Remember you owe me now."
"Since everyone’s together right now, find a way to show off your masculinity around Huangfu Xiangling a few more times. Let her get a taste of a real man’s style—maybe that’ll help."
Xiao Ye’s eyes went wide, *Masculinity? Seriously?*
"That’s not the sort of thing you can force. It has to happen gradually." he mulled over.
"Sister Ziran, you’re the Alliance Hierarch of the Venerable Alliance, super respected. You must know a bunch of Medical Dao experts. Why not ask them to take a look at your disciple?"
Ziran sighed, her beautiful eyes dimmed, "I did. They all said it was beyond their ability. This kind of thing is deeply linked to personal experience—only the person involved can work through it."
"She’s the daughter of Huangfu Tian, City Lord of Imperial Base City, and a maid. Her mother died in childbirth. As an illegitimate daughter, Xiangling was never recognized by the Huangfu Clan, so, growing up, she was constantly looked down on. Her father, Huangfu Tian, treated her coldly too. She never got much fatherly love, had no mother for affection, and the clan was always distant. That led to her orientation issues."
"I’ve invited Huangfu Tian to visit the Venerable Alliance several times, but he always brushes me off with work as an excuse. It’s like he really doesn’t want to see Xiangling."
"As for the Huangfu Clan, I have no idea how to even start."
Xiao Ye fell silent.
"??" Yun Bing could tell Xiao Ye wasn’t putting the sunscreen on properly. She looked up, only to see him and Ziran making eyes at each other. She erupted, kicking Xiao Ye in the face and saying,
"Xiao Ye, Ziran, what are you two whispering about over there?"
Xiao Ye sent her a voice transmission, "We’re discussing ways to help with Huangfu Xiangling’s orientation issue."
Yun Bing arched her brow and said, "You can fix template problems and bodily defects, so orientation issues should be nothing for you, right?"
Xiao Ye’s mouth twitched, *So, in Yun Bing’s mind, I’m that badass, huh? Even sexual orientation problems are a piece of cake!*
"Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I’m not all-powerful. I’m only good for fixing template issues and body defects," he joked.
"!"
"Wait! What did you just say?" Xiao Ye thought he’d caught onto something.
Yun Bing grinned, "I said you can handle template problems and bodily defects, so this orientation stuff should be nothing!"
Xiao Ye’s eyes suddenly lit up! He slapped his own thigh and said, "What if Huangfu Xiangling’s orientation issues are all caused by a template problem—a physical defect?"
"Even if she hates men because of her experiences, does that necessarily mean she’d love women?"
Yun Bing glanced at the thigh he’d just slapped—her own, now red—and complained, "Damn, slap your own thigh if you want, why are you hitting mine?"
Xiao Ye shrugged, not caring at all, and said, "What’s the big deal with slapping your thigh? Tonight, I’m going to slap some other places, and not just slap—I’ll kick too! Don’t forget your promise: Yun Bing in a flight attendant uniform."
Yun Bing rolled her eyes, "Didn’t forget. I’ll go buy the outfit in a bit."
Xiao Ye added, "Don’t forget the stockings with the alphabet print on them."
Yun Bing sniffed, "Whatever, as long as you’re happy."
Xiao Ye nodded and laughed, "Don’t make it sound like I’m the only happy one. If I’m satisfied, I’ll have even more fighting power, and you’ll get, you know..."
At this moment, the white-haired maiden, Huangfu Xiangling, was back to her playful old self—dog-paddling in the deep hot spring, flipping backward every now and then, kicking up ten-meter-high waves of water, laughing and splashing around.
She shouted, "Master, Auntie Yun Bing, Xiao Ye, are you here for the hot spring, or just to sunbathe? Get down here already!"
"Coming!" Ziran laughed brightly. She hopped into the hot spring with her jade feet, then lay by the shore, basking in the sun again.
Yun Bing swatted Xiao Ye’s naughty hand away, headed past Ziran, then gave her a fierce kick that sent the pale-skinned Ziran plunging into the deep end of the spring, laughing her ass off,
"Ziran, drank some water, didn’t you? Ha, ha, ha!"
Suddenly, a fair, slender arm reached up from under the water, grabbed Yun Bing’s ankle, and yanked hard.
With a "splash!" Yun Bing tripped right into the water, throwing up a twenty-meter-high fountain. Her swimsuit top even flew off, bobbing along the ripples at the surface.
Ziran popped out of the water, giggling uncontrollably, her chest visibly bouncing, and said, "You get a taste of swallowing water now too!"
Xiao Ye stood on the shore, eyes lingering on the slightly baby-faced but very shapely Huangfu Xiangling, and activated the Template Adjuster’s template probe function.
[Template probe activated, scanning]
[SSS-level Devouring Taotie Template] (Upgradeable)
[Attribute: Devouring Attribute]
[Template Defect: Due to awakening, she absorbed 15 Devouring Attribute Rule Fragments, with zero Creation Rule Fragments; the template is unstable] (SSS-level template can hold a max of 10 Rule Fragments)
[Body Defect: Template issue causes Rule Power out of control, resulting in orientation distortion]
After getting the probe results, Xiao Ye’s mouth twitched—turns out it really was a template defect causing a body issue, not life experience causing the orientation change.
*See? Experience might make Huangfu Xiangling hate men, but those experiences alone wouldn’t necessarily make her love women.*
