Chapter 328: Chapter 254: Stealing Heaven’s Secrets

The female thief tiptoed into the room.

"Asleep? No way. You’re a grandmaster on par with the Sixth Grade. How could you not wake up with me this close?"

Li Zi didn’t bother to lower her voice.

She approached the edge of the bed and braced her hands on the headboard.

It was unclear if he did it on purpose, but Tang Wen was lying closer to the inside of the bed.

In her attempt to get a better look, her upper body naturally leaned in.

As she bent over, her slender waist was on full display, and her ample chest hung down like giant teardrops.

With a click of his tongue, Tang Wen’s eyes snapped open, and his hands immediately seized her waist.

’What a slender waist, a perfect handful.’

"Ah! You were faking it!" Li Zi exclaimed in surprise.

Her long, black hair, fragrant and still slightly damp, cascaded down.

"Just took a bath?" Tang Wen wrinkled his nose, sniffing the air.

With his fiery hands pressed against her waist, the heat spread through her entire body, causing Li Zi’s pretty little face to burn hot as well.

Her pink lips stammered, "I... I just wanted to repay you."

Tang Wen frowned slightly. "Just to repay me?"

He puffed out his chest, causing the blanket to slide away, revealing a toned physique and an eight-pack. Li Zi couldn’t tear her eyes away.

"Like what you see?"

His finger tilted up her pale chin.

"Hmph! It’s not... not like I haven’t seen it before." She couldn’t help but reach out a small hand.

When Tang Wen was in seclusion, Li Zi had been responsible for taking care of him, which included tasks like washing his body.

"Oh?"

His fingers pinched her smooth, soft cheek. "Where exactly have you looked? Tell me."

Li Zi’s eyes darted around, not daring to meet his gaze.

He pressed a hand on the crown of her freshly washed, fragrant hair and ruffled it, his tone displeased.

"Why would you leave your hair down? Did you bring a hair tie?"

She could tell his displeasure wasn’t feigned.

She quickly raised a pale arm, revealing two black hair ties on her slender wrist.

"Excellent." Tang Wen grinned. "Pigtails!"

Li Zi mumbled something and tried to stand, but Tang Wen gave a gentle pull, and her upper body fell onto the bed.

"Wait, let me tie my hair first... Hey? What is this position? Wh-why are you moving behind me... Hiss, pull gently, my hair!"

The Childlike Face Lady was adopted by the Thief Sect at a young age. Her life was either Martial Arts Training or thievery. Later, at a young age, she shouldered the life and death of her entire sect.

She had thought of finding someone to rely on, but after a traitor emerged from within the Thief Sect, she dared not trust anyone.

She could only endure the hardship alone, until she met Tang Wen.

She wasn’t that young anymore, and she had accumulated a fair bit of theoretical knowledge.

But this was her first time putting it into practice.

Tang Wen spurred himself onward, a tireless and eager teacher, diligently working away...

In short, he led by example, gave it his all, and imparted a vast amount of knowledge, helping Li Zi, the "childlike-faced watermelon," complete a key transformation in her life.

The next morning, a thick layer of white frost had condensed on the garden path in the courtyard, which had been dry for a long time.

"I... I want to sleep," the woman said, her voice choked with sobs.

"We’ll sleep after we’re done pushing. Be good~"

"Push? What pushing?"

"Pushing the watermelon, of course!"

He had slept very comfortably. After the sun came up, Tang Wen recalled some new knowledge and couldn’t wait to start his instruction again.

More than half an hour later, everything became dull and tasteless.

Tang Wen patted her head in satisfaction. His eyes were perfectly clear.

His mind was exceptionally sharp. This must be what they call being "Saintly as Buddha."

But he knew his physical constitution was excellent, so this state wouldn’t last long.

Three minutes at most.

He looked at his "status-buffing target"—her eyes were glazed over as she lay sprawled on the damp blankets, looking as if she could pass out at any moment.

He knew he couldn’t "farm" her anymore.

So, he got out of bed briskly, called a Maid to change the blankets for Li Zi, and went outside for breakfast.

The gains from one night were not just pleasure, but also combat experience.

"Young Master, Liu Bing is here to see you." The housekeeper, Shu Mei, approached gracefully, dressed in a pristine white, qipao-style dress.

Her waist swayed like a willow in the wind, the apples of her chest were outlined just right, and behind her, her rear was as full and pert as a round moon.

What left Tang Wen most speechless was that the qipao’s slit went all the way up her thigh.

Every movement she made was tantalizing.

Seeing Tang Wen staring at her, Shu Mei’s eyes lit up, and she began to walk even slower.

"Where did you get that dress?"

"Don’t you like it, Young Master?"

SLAP!

"Don’t wear it outside."

"Mmm-hmm."

Shu Mei called Liu Bing in, then slipped into the room herself.

The room hadn’t been aired out, and it was still filled with an aroma that would make a young girl blush.

Shu Mei was no young girl, so she didn’t blush. Looking at Li Zi sleeping peacefully, she only felt envy.

Her own quarters were right next to Tang Wen’s. The soundproofing was excellent, but that couldn’t stop her from pressing a stethoscope to the wall and listening for half the night.

After a night of unbearable "hunger," she couldn’t help but change into her "battle armor" first thing in the morning to seduce Tang Wen.

"This subordinate greets the Young Master!"

Liu Bing cupped his fists in salute.

He glanced at Tang Wen, then quickly bowed his head.

He was both awed and terrified of the handsome young master before him!

’How long was I even gone from the city?’ he thought. ’When I came back, the Young Master already had a Fifth-Grade Guard by his side.’

He heard that Tang Wen was now a major figure in Ganshan City, someone that even the Huang Family didn’t dare to offend.

How could anyone not be afraid of him?

"Mm, have a seat."

"This subordinate wouldn’t dare. I’m fine standing."

A Female Martial Artist brought over a stool.

Tang Wen gestured with his eyes. After thanking him repeatedly, Liu Bing cautiously sat on the edge of the stool.

Once seated, he began his report. "Young Master, on this trip out of the city, I inspected a total of twenty sites, including large and small camps, mines, and pastures. Among them, we arrested one hundred and thirty-five individuals for bullying the common folk and colluding with powerful figures..."

Liu Bing gave a detailed report, at one point pulling a stack of papers from his sleeve and presenting it with both hands.

On it were the operational details of each camp, their annual income and expenditures, and so on.

"Well done. I will send a Master Alchemist to check on your mother and prescribe some restorative Potions... Also, you can’t neglect your Martial Arts. Someone, bring me ten bottles of Seventh-Grade Elixirs."
