However, one thing Cheng Xiaofan was very clear about was that his parents building such a large villa here had definitely received the tacit approval of his "White Goddess."
If not, and if she found it inconvenient to show up, she could have persuaded his parents to change the villa's design through Fu Yueli and Gu Jingyue.
Regardless, as long as his White Goddess was happy, nothing else mattered.
Besides, with such a group of beautiful women living in this villa, their delicate faces a feast for his eyes, wasn't that incredibly pleasing?
With these thoughts cleared, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but break into a smile.
"Cheng Xiaofan, what were you chuckling about just now?" Lu Yinshuang happened to turn her head and caught his sly smile, asking curiously.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately shook his head and said, "I wasn't chuckling about anything!"
"I saw you smiling!" Lu Yinshuang pressed on.
Cheng Xiaofan then stated righteously, "Today is a joyous occasion for me and the White Goddess. Should I be crying instead of smiling?"
"..." Lu Yinshuang was instantly rendered speechless.
What he said was perfectly valid.
Seeing Lu Yinshuang's crestfallen expression, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but smile triumphantly and deliberately said, "Sister-in-law, am I wrong?"
"No, not wrong at all!" What else could Lu Yinshuang say!
In a blink, they went up to the second floor, arriving at Cheng Xiaofan's room. Everyone was immediately captivated by the bloodwood furniture filling the entire space.
The moment they stepped into this room, it felt as if they had entered another world.
Even the air within felt exceptionally fresh, with a faint sweet scent.
Being in this environment, one felt invigorated.
And all of this... seemed to emanate from the furniture.
"Wow, what a beautiful bed!"
Shen Ruobing suddenly lunged towards the bed, which resembled a chaise lounge, her hands carefully caressing it. "It's so beautiful, especially the flowing cloud patterns on it. I feel like I can hear the rhythm emanating from within!"
"Ah, it's not just a feeling, you can actually hear it!"
She became more and more excited, a thin layer of mist forming in her eyes.
Lu Yinshuang, startled, walked over and felt Shen Ruobing's forehead, asking, "Ruobing, are you alright?"
"I'm fine... I'm really fine. It's just that when I touched this bed, I felt my soul tremble!"
Shen Ruobing choked back, "This is an extraordinary bed, a bed that makes my soul explode!"
"..." If her soul was about to explode, was that still considered being fine?
Lu Yinshuang and the others were dumbfounded.
What made it even more awkward was that this bed would eventually be shared by Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling, and here Shen Ruobing was, on their engagement day, hugging the bed and crying and laughing like she was mad. How could this make the couple feel?
"Brother-in-law Xiaofan, what's wrong with Ruobing?" Lu Yinshuang asked urgently.
The address "Brother-in-law Xiaofan" made Cheng Xiaofan feel very pleased.
He shook his head and said, "Shen Ruobing is fine. You saw something similar from her that night at Bai Mang Lake."
Hearing this, Lu Yinshuang and the others remembered that Shen Ruobing was a craftsman.
They naturally hadn't forgotten how Shen Ruobing had experienced a breakthrough that night after witnessing Cheng Xiaofan's performance on the lake.
Everyone knew that all the furniture in this room was made by Cheng Xiaofan.
Could it be that Shen Ruobing was about to achieve another breakthrough just by touching this bed?
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan noticed a surge of energy around Shen Ruobing, which transformed into five-colored arcs of light, rotating around her.
At that moment, Cheng Xiaofan finally understood what was happening.
The bed he had crafted from bloodwood was indeed extraordinary, not only elegant and beautiful in appearance but also imbued with spring qi and exuding spiritual energy. These two energies merged, making it incredibly nourishing.
What was spring qi?
It was the breath of spring from nature.
As for spiritual energy, it was the sentience contained within this bed.
Such a bed actually had a name: a Spring Bed.
A Spring Bed was no ordinary bed; it was alive. With the changing seasons, the Spring Bed could present different forms, all based on the principles of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.
Heaven represented Yang, Earth represented Yin. The five elements and the Yin-Yang changes between Heaven and Earth were all manifested in this Spring Bed, generating a spring qi from nature to nourish people.
Spring was the beginning of the four seasons.
Spring qi could allow one to maintain vigorous vitality at all times.
Legend had it that the master craftsman Lu Ban once accidentally obtained a fragment of the Shennong Jing from a dream, from which he gained the secret art of bed making.
Later, through a fortunate encounter, this secret art was acquired by Shen Ruobing's ancestor, Shen Yanwang, who then created the "Thirty-Six Forms of Shen Family Wedding Beds Secret Manual."
In fact, when Cheng Xiaofan first saw Shen Ruobing's secret manual, he had a vague sense of familiarity.
It could be said that in the world today, only Cheng Xiaofan could transform a piece of wood into a bed, summon the breath of spring from its texture, and imbue it with powerful sentience.
What Cheng Xiaofan hadn't expected was that Shen Ruobing, this craftsman girl, would experience a soul resonance simply by touching this bed.
This was a breakthrough from soul resonance!
It seemed that the hopes Shen Ruobing's ancestor, Shen Yanwang, had placed on her were about to be realized!
"Shen Ruobing, calm down!" Cheng Xiaofan walked over, placed his right hand on her crown, and channeled a stream of spiritual energy into her mind.
Soon, Shen Ruobing calmed down.
She wiped away the tears from her face, knelt before Cheng Xiaofan, and said, "From today onwards, like Long Xingyun and Li Mingxi, I will call you Master!"
"Whether you agree or not, you are my Master!"
*Thud!*
With that, she kowtowed to the ground.
"Alright, I agree. Get up quickly!"
Cheng Xiaofan quickly pulled Shen Ruobing up from the ground, not forgetting to tease her publicly, "You were originally my sister-in-law, yet you insist on becoming my disciple, Brother-in-law!"
"How can your brother-in-law possibly handle this?"
*Plop!*
At this moment, Ling Qingcheng, holding Gu Shishi's hand, walked over and knelt before Cheng Xiaofan, saying, "Brother-in-law, why don't you take us two little sisters-in-law as your disciples too!"
"No, absolutely not for the two of you!"
Cheng Xiaofan shook his hands vigorously and started singing, "Clouds obscure the clear moon, rain has not ceased, swords hide their gleam, sabers conceal halberds, in the darkness, the general's order is urgent..."
"..." The two beauties heard the song title and realized it was the song "Night Attack."
Clearly, Cheng Xiaofan had not been asleep on that small boat in Bai Mang Lake, he had simply not wanted to get into any unexpected situations with them.
At the same time, to preserve their dignity, he had deliberately pretended to be asleep.
This time, Cheng Xiaofan used singing "Night Attack" as a way to remind them not to pester him about becoming his disciple.
You're ruthless!
You're truly ruthless!
You are indeed ruthless!
