Her smile was more captivating than the moon, making it hard for the man to hold himself back.
Gu Beicheng took a deep breath where Xia Yinian couldn't see, and also shifted his gaze.
"Is there anything else besides alchemy?"
His voice was strained, but Xia Yinian didn't know.
"Besides alchemy?" Xia Yinian turned her head to glance at Gu Beicheng again.
Even though the light was not sufficient, she still noticed a slight vein popping on his temple.
"Master, are you okay?" The girl half sat up, reached out her small hand, and touched the man's forehead.
"I'm fine." When Gu Beicheng met her gaze, he appeared unaffected again.
"Oh." Xia Yinian nodded and lay down once more.
His body temperature was normal, maybe she was mistaken.
"You still haven't answered my question." Gu Beicheng cleared his throat lightly and spoke calmly.
He was trying to divert his willpower, unsure if it would work.
