Chapter 258: The Millennial Snow Ginseng King

”Whatʼs up?” Liu Yiru asked, puzzled as to what Ye Fei was up to.

Ye Fei chuckled a little sheepishly. ”I need to take a leak.”

Liu Yiru couldnʼt help but laugh. She had seen ”it” more than once; why was he acting shy now?

Seeing her amusement, Ye Fei feigned annoyance.

”Who told you not to show me yesterday? So now I wonʼt show you either, unless you show me first.”

Liu Yiru felt a wave of embarrassment. His words made it seem like she was eager to see, and even wanted him to show her.

Although she didnʼt mind him touching her most intimate places or even expressing herself in front of him, the idea of him watching her pee was a different story.

She blushed and said, ”Pfft, who said I wanted to see? Just go already!”

Ye Fei grinned and turned back around the corner. He glanced back to see that Liu Yiru hadnʼt followed, then sprinted swiftly backward.

In an instant, he reached the spot below the aura of energy he had sensed.

With a sudden leap, he soared upward, landing precisely at the source of the aura without needing to push off from anything in mid-air.

With a gentle punch, he chipped into the icy surface to anchor himself. Looking up, he saw a white ginseng that had taken on a somewhat humanoid shape, deeply rooted in the thick layer of ice. Judging by its appearance, this snow ginseng was likely at least eight hundred years old, if not a full millennium.

Ye Fei was thrilled to find such a rare treasure in this day and age.

Although it held no particular use for him, it would be immensely beneficial for Liu Yiru and the others.

If consumed, it could significantly enhance their internal power.

He knew that cultivating with him could rapidly increase their strength, but he had observed that the stronger they were before cultivation, the greater the benefits for both parties.

This was evident from Liu Junyi and Ye Yunqi, whose powers had tripled after cultivating with him.

Thus, their initial strength was a crucial foundation.

Even without these observations, Ye Fei wouldnʼt have passed up such a valuable find.

Carefully breaking through the ice, Ye Fei retrieved the snow ginseng. However, instead of returning to Liu Yiru immediately, he swiftly moved and buried the ginseng along their path.

Only then did he retrace his steps to where Liu Yiru was waiting.

Upon seeing Ye Fei return, Liu Yiru didnʼt say a word. She simply offered her hand, which he took, and they continued walking side by side.

For the moment, she had set aside her earlier disappointment and was savoring every happy moment spent with him.

After walking quietly for a while, Liu Yiru suddenly exclaimed in surprise, ”Huh?”

Her face lit up with pure joy, unlike the last time when she had felt a mix of excitement and disappointment.

This time, she sensed an even stronger aura of energy, and best of all, it was located on the ground, easily within reach.

Seeing Liu Yiruʼs delight, Ye Fei felt his efforts had paid off and was genuinely happy. However, he still feigned ignorance and asked, ”Whatʼs going on now?”

Without answering, Liu Yiru pulled him quickly to the spot where she had sensed the energy. She squatted down carefully, brushed away a layer of snow, and revealed the snow ginseng that Ye Fei had just buried.

In his haste, Ye Fei hadnʼt buried it very well, and the ginseng didnʼt look like it had grown there naturally. But Liu Yiru paid no attention to that. She quickly dug it up and presented it to Ye Fei with a sense of pride, saying, ”Eat it quickly.”

”Me?” Ye Fei pointed to his nose in surprise, but inside, he was deeply touched. Liu Yiru was still the same as ever, always thinking of him first when it came to anything good.

Even though she was now his ”girlfriend,” she remained as caring and considerate as before.

”Yes,” Liu Yiru nodded quickly.

”Although this might be too nourishing for ordinary people, itʼs different for us who have cultivated internal strength. After refining it, it can significantly boost our power.”

Ye Fei smiled wryly. ”If I eat it, Iʼm afraid Iʼll burst from the excess energy.”

”Ah?” Liu Yiru was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Ye Feiʼs current condition was due to an excess of yang energy, which had already blocked his meridians.

Adding more would indeed be problematic. She laughed a little sheepishly and said, ”I forgot.”

”So,” Ye Fei said with a smile, ”you should eat it.”

”No,” Liu Yiru shook her head, carefully placing the snow ginseng into her small bag. ”Iʼll take it back for Yunqi and the others.” She was that kind of person—always prioritizing Ye Fei first, then her sisters and daughters, and lastly herself.

”Yiru, youʼre too good to us!” Ye Fei, moved by her selflessness, hugged Liu Yiru tightly and kissed her lips passionately.

Caught off guard by Ye Feiʼs kiss, Liu Yiru felt a pang of panic.

Although they had kissed in the morning and she had been fully engaged, at that time she had been thinking of herself as his girlfriend. But now, having just thought of her daughters, she was jolted back to reality, acutely aware of her role as his mother.

This clarity made it impossible for her to let go completely.

However, Liu Yiru realized that she didnʼt actually dislike being kissed by him in this state. She was just a bit shy.

In fact, because she had returned to her original relationship with him, she felt even more excited than in the morning.

For the first time, she felt a sense of frustration over her identity as his mother, something she had always been proud of.

Sensing her internal conflict from her reaction, Ye Fei released her lips and whispered into her ear, ”Yiru, my girlfriend, I love you so much!”

His words sent a shiver down Liu Yiruʼs spine, and she immediately embraced the role of his ”girlfriend,” or rather, used his words as an excuse to indulge herself. She replied with deep emotion, ”I love you too!”

Then, cupping his face with both hands, she initiated another kiss, passionately exploring his mouth with her tongue, allowing him to savor the moment fully.

After more than ten minutes, the two finally broke apart, contentedly continuing their journey.

But now, it was more than just holding hands—Liu Yiru nestled her entire body against him.

She realized that both emotionally and physically, she was becoming increasingly dependent on him.

Ye Fei didnʼt attempt to persuade Liu Yiru to take the snow ginseng, knowing it would be futile. He understood her well.

Although she was now his ”girlfriend” and seemingly compliant, she was unyielding on matters of principle. It seemed he would have to make further efforts.

The canyon seemed endless. To Ye Feiʼs surprise, they hadnʼt found their way out even as dusk approached.
