The way Xie Yao was looking at him was as if he was an alien or some sort of unidentified extinct animal to her, leaving Xie Feng dumbfounded.
Even Gu Qianxue stopped what she was doing as if she realized that something strange was happening.
“Yaoyao, is something wrong?” After a few seconds of awkward silence and unable to bear the curiosity any longer, Xie Feng asked.
Han Xue Nai picked up a sweet cookie from the counter and ate it with delight while her two dark eyes watched the situation in detail with an amused expression.
“You…” Xie Yao could only utter one word before she stopped. She wiped her hands on the apron she was wearing and approached Xie Feng. She began to caress his face with such a confused expression that it couldn’t get any worse.
Finally, after nearly ten seconds of silence, Xie Yao took a step back and looked Xie Feng straight in the eyes as she asked, “Big brother Xie Feng, what kind of lotions are you using?”
“Jah? “All Xie Feng could do was let out a strange sound, stupefied.
“Handsome big brother, you got another pearl, right?” Han Xue Nai interrupted, looking Xie Feng from head to toe and nodding again and again.
Xie Feng’s face changed slightly after hearing Han Xue Nai’s question. He did not answer her and instead hurried to the bathroom downstairs in a rush.
Due to everything that had happened recently, Xie Feng had forgotten about it but hadn’t something very important happened when he acquired the Pearl of Light back then? His appearance had improved dramatically! Now, Xie Feng had just obtained the Pearl of Frozen Water and after he logged off the game for the first time since then, he hadn’t seen his own face yet!
However, Xie Feng, who thought he was prepared for anything, stared at his reflection in the mirror with his eyes wide open. His mouth continuously opened and closed like a fish, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say about what he was seeing.
“What the hell…” Xie Feng muttered as he touched the skin on his face and looked at his hands.
Xie Feng’s skin was naturally white, but because he didn’t care too much about taking care of his own body, it had some imperfections like any human being’s. But now… His skin had become so white and smooth that even Xie Yao and the rest of the most beautiful women Xie Feng knew couldn’t necessarily compare! Soft to the touch like the finest silk, pure white with no imperfections or blemishes, so smooth that even Xie Feng himself couldn’t stop caressing himself!
“This… What’s this all about!?” He roared unconsciously as he realized that his skin was even more beautiful than a woman’s.
His overall appearance had not changed, anyone looking at him from a certain distance would not notice anything different; compared to the change brought to him by the Pearl of Light, the change from the Pearl of Frozen Water was much less noticeable in comparison. However, if a person got close enough and saw the current him, they would undoubtedly say that today’s Xie Feng was more handsome than yesterday’s Xie Feng.
The only thing that made Xie Feng could let out a sigh of relief was that although his skin had become even more beautiful than a woman’s, his overall appearance had not become feminine in any way. Otherwise, Xie Feng might cough up several liters of old blood and die right there and then.
Xie Feng shook his head helplessly and walked out of the bathroom. No matter how much he wanted to know what exactly was going on, there was no way for the current him to know. Even if he asked Han Xue Nai his instincts told him that she would not tell him anything specific.
With a slight worry for his future appearance, Xie Feng became even more determined to find the other remaining pearls to get answers!
After eating dinner and tidying up everything together, Xie Feng, the two big beauties, and the little beauty went to bed. However, Xie Feng was not sleeping alone.
“So, will you really stay here every day?” He asked not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
“Yep. Here I am staying.” Han Xue Nai replied with conviction.
Actually, yesterday, when Han Xue Nai practically chased Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue out of Xie Feng’s room, she took over the left side of the bed and slept there.
At first, Xie Feng had not said anything believing that the mischievous girl would leave after one night. However, it was currently the second night but Han Xue Nai was already wearing pajamas from when Xie Yao was little, lying very comfortably on his bed.
“There are more rooms here, you know that right?”
“I know. But this room seems more comfortable to me.”
“More comfortable? In what way?”
“Xue Nai doesn’t know.”
…
“Hey, are you asleep?”
“Nope.”
“You’re not afraid?”
“What do you mean?”
“What do I mean…? …. Xue Nai, for better or worse, I’m a man. Aren’t you afraid I’ll do something to you in the middle of the night?”
“I know you won’t~ Handsome big brother, you are very kind, Xue Nai knows that! Besides…”
“… Besides?”
“If you do anything to me in the night, I’ll punch you. And the big sister will get mad at you.”
“…Who is your big sister?”
“Who knows. I’m not telling you!”
“You…¯_(ツ)_/¯”
Xie Feng and Han Xue Nai chatted with each other for quite some time. Without the two of them realizing it, that little conversation had closed the distance between the two of them a bit. Before they knew it, both of their breathing had become smooth and both, he and she, had sunk deep into the dream world.

The next day.
The university students were extremely agitated. The main street as well as the high schools affiliated with the prestigious Shanghai University was full of students moving energetically everywhere. Some were new freshmen, others were former students who were in their final year before entering the harsh world of work and the real world of adulthood where a myriad of responsibilities awaited them. However, there was one common topic they were all talking about.
Shen Xinya’s concert!
Not only the students of Shanghai University; practically the whole city was buzzing with excitement!
Shen Xinya was a woman with too many titles; the most beautiful woman in the entire Asian continent, the hottest superstar of the century, the woman with an angel’s voice whose beauty could charm the devil, etc. As if that wasn’t enough, she was also the daughter of the most wealthy family in Asia!
Talent? Shen Xinya had it. Beauty? If Shen Xinya claimed to be second, no woman would dare say she was first. Capital power? What a laugh, if she wanted to, she could swim in gold coins.
To say that Shen Xinya was some kind of goddess who had descended to the mortal world by mistake was not an exaggeration in the least from the point of view of countless men.
And today, in just a few hours, she would be singing on the stage of the Shanghai New World Center, just minutes away from Shanghai University and Shanghai International Airport!
