My CEO Harem Cultivation System

Well, that wasn't entirely true.

Bo Lifen was quick to answer the curiosity in his tone as she started pulling up her panties and shorts up her legs. "The bathroom is even smaller than this place. Would you have preferred that place? I'm a tad afraid we might ruin the tiling if we did it there."

It may have just been because he was now a cultivator and started becoming stronger—but it also reflected and also equated to stronger pounding in a sense.

Li Yang shook his head and found his lips twitching into a small smile. "Although comfort is one important factor, I don't think it would have mattered… as long as we actually did it."

"I can't believe I'm saying this—but you're just like every man." Bo Lifen burst into a small laugh. It was a cute and silly kind of laugh, the type you didn't think would come from a usually stern and uptight woman like her. So it made all the difference. "I mean, I'd hopefully wish my brothers wouldn't grow up into wanting to do it with a woman just about anywhere."

"Is that your way of admitting that you're a sex freak?"

"Me? That's like the second time I've done it—I'm pretty tame as far as standards go." Bo Lifen pulled down her shirt and then awkwardly turned around. "Mind strapping my bra's hook? You were pretty good at removing it, so you can help me since I can't reach my back that well."

"I would have assumed you were more flexible," he said.

It was an oddly strange request… or something that Li Yang didn't think he'd hear from a woman, but he helped fasten the hook without any questions. It was kind of peculiarly calming to fasten it.

"You could just tell me that you don't want to help me." Bo Lifen muttered underneath her breath.

Li Yang raised a brow. "Now I didn't mean that."

The two of them were hopefully aware of that and avoided butting heads like they did when they first met. Bo Lifen eventually just relaxed and let it go to give him a look.

Unlike before, it was time to lay it down immediately.

"But okay… wow. We just did it again." Bo Lifen placed a hand over her chest and then managed a small laugh again. "Welcome back to Shanghai sex? Is that a thing—I hope that's not an actual thing."

He smiled and shook his head. "I don't have any idea either, so I can't help you there."

"Wouldn't most men be tired by now or worn out usually?" Bo Lifen rubbed her chin. "That's how movies depict it. Men just roll off into bed and then they're back into snoozeland—unless you're some sex god."

Li Yang shrugged. "...I don't think I'm a god, but I can go for another round." 

"Oh, I'm good—I'm good." Bo Lifen raised a hand and smiled sheepishly. "This is enough fun for one night. I'm beat and my legs feel like jelly. You've grown stronger."

"As a cultivator?" 

"Yeah and it translated slightly to your um… sex skills—make sure you do it less strenuously when you do it with a regular person or something." Bo Lifen cleared her throat.

Li Yang didn't even need to mention that he was sleeping with other people, somehow, she could just tell it. It was interesting that some people could just tell it—although he wasn't sure how to react to it.

"Of course, thank you for the tip?" he said.

Bo Lifen's lips twitched into a teasing smirk as she motioned to his crotch. "Thanks for giving me more than the tip." 

Li Yang snickered at her joke. "That's terrible."

"But you laughed." 

"I didn't—I only felt slightly amused at how terrible it was," Li Yang said. He finished cleaning everything up and collected the tissues from her. "All in all, shall we get going now?"

"Right…" 

Was it a good time to call it a day and part ways? Both could feel that was the appropriate response. Fuck, fix things up and fly off into different directions… but the two of them left the storage at their own pace.

Li Yang threw the tissues into the trash bin and only looked around idly around the milk tea shop. The least he could do was make sure that Bo Lifen got home safely after tonight and check whatever notifications he got later—then maybe he'd try to see if Taiga and Narissa were still at the bar?

Should he get back to his house?

That was at least two hours via car, perhaps faster now that he could run on foot… but somehow, the two of them lingered in the store far more than they should. Did he want to stay with Bo Lifen more?

Maybe.

"Let's get going," Bo Lifen opened the door and stepped out of the shop.

He followed after her and then helped her close and lock down the shop. This was already nice. Especially when Li Yang actually needed to concentrate on his main mission, so just doing this with Bo Lifen was already quite good enough for him. 

No strings, no commitments.

He didn't need to do anything that required a lot of his time when compared to both Narissa and Taiga. Bo Lifen let out a sigh and threw him a look. "So what happens after this?" 

Li Yang blinked. Was she already asking about commitment? 

"What do you mean?"

"Well… I wasn't actually able to catch some proper dinner since Ning Bi forced me to get to the bar." Bo Lifen scratched her head. "So, I'm thinking about heading to a restaurant for a quick meal before getting home. What about you? What's your next plan? Anybody on your to-do list?"

"My to-do… what?" Li Yang wrinkled his nose. 

Bo Lifen waved a hand lazily at him. "You know what I mean—wasn't I the one who suggested you to loosen up before because I was worried that work was swallowing your life? Now it seems like you're single-mindedly following my advice."

"You think I'm doing all of this because of that conversation?" 

"Not exactly—but just forget that I said that." Bo Lifen reassured him and then pointed in a certain direction. "I'm going to have late night dinner and you're welcome to come if you want. Or you know, do your own thing. It was nice seeing you again though, bye!"

Li Yang watched her jog down the streets and head into another direction. She only slowed down once to look over her shoulder, but once she was further away… she eventually just waved and went over the next curb.

He didn't exactly run after her or did anything at that exact moment.

Li Yang may or may not have ruined his chances at that particular instance—it was an invitation to eat dinner with her. Compared to others like Taiga who he made it a point to include immediately into his life despite the time disparity it proposed to have energy for all of the women in his life. 

He didn't do it.

He kind of hated himself for not doing it, but he also didn't want to have to choose between returning to Taiga and Narissa or chasing after Bo Lifen. Not to mention that he didn't even think about Chunhua and Luo Ju Di… and neither had he found any news or mention of Ying Yue He.

—Maybe that was the next step that he needed to do.

Out of all the people in his life, she should have been one of the first that he started looking for.. Li Yang decided to visit her apartment.
