Chapter 17

Hearing Ye Lixiao’s proposal, Xing Luo was very tempted, but.
“Your Highness, didn’t you say before that I’m not allowed to get close to you casually?”
Ye Lixiao’s voice was cold. “I meant that you should stay in your true form. Now that you’ve reached level twenty, your transformations won’t be unstable anymore.”
In other words, since she wouldn’t suddenly change form, she could approach him even in her cat form.
Xing Luo: “Awoo! Got it! Thank you, Your Highness!”
Afterward, Ye Lixiao went to bathe. Xing Luo, knowing he liked cleanliness, also bathed thoroughly before entering his bedchamber.
At this moment, Ye Lixiao was wearing only a white inner shirt, loosely tied at the waist, revealing hints of his firm, sculpted chest and abs.
If he weren’t Ye Lixiao, Xing Luo might have seriously suspected he was deliberately trying to tempt her.
When Xing Luo entered, she was in her cat form and jumped directly onto the bed.
Ye Lixiao glanced at her indifferently, then extinguished the lights and lay down on the bed.
Xing Luo originally just wanted to lie beside him, but he reached out and held her against his chest, pressing her gently onto him.
“Meow?” Xing Luo let out a confused sound. Ye Lixiao, however, closed his eyes and ignored her.
Xing Luo assumed it was because she was a cat that he held her, and without thinking further, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Night fell.
Ye Lixiao didn’t sleep. After confirming that Xing Luo was asleep, he opened his eyes and looked down at the little cat on him. A surge of demonic energy appeared in his palm, and then it flowed into Xing Luo’s body.
The next second, “Bang!” she transformed from a cat into a completely naked human.
Xing Luo was still asleep, and her entire body was pressed against Ye Lixiao.
He quickly covered her with the blanket, making sure both of them were concealed.
With the blanket in place, Ye Lixiao wrapped his hand around her waist.
Her pressing against him like this, truth be told, made it very difficult for him to remain calm. But he couldn’t act, for now he had to pretend to be unaware, he didn’t want to scare her away.
Being able to hold her like this was already a great satisfaction for Ye Lixiao. He had never had the chance to hold her before, and certainly never to hold her when she was without clothes.
All night, Ye Lixiao remained awake.
The next morning.
Sensing that Xing Luo was about to wake up, Ye Lixiao finally closed his eyes, pretending to sleep, of course.
When Xing Luo awoke, she immediately realized something was wrong.
She looked down at her body with wide-eyed innocence. How did she become human? Could it be from absorbing too much spiritual energy last night? Given Ye Lixiao’s cultivation level, the energy he provided might have been too much, causing her to transform uncontrollably.
Xing Luo was about to quietly get up, but noticed a faint glow emanating from below the man’s neck.
Ye Lixiao’s inner shirt was slightly open, revealing his chest. The glowing spot was the location of his reverse scale.
Ye Lixiao’s true form was a dragon, and only Xing Luo knew this.
The reverse scale of a dragon was its weakness.
Xing Luo muttered softly, “He actually exposed his weak spot right in front of me. and doesn’t fear I’ll kill him.”
After that, she transformed back into her cat form.
What she didn’t know was that this single mutter had confirmed her identity to Ye Lixiao completely.
Because only Xing Luo knew that Ye Lixiao’s true form was a dragon, and only she had seen his reverse scale, his weakness.
