Chapter 34: A Couple with Great Coordination!

In the east of the Imperial Capital, Chu Ruoyan was constantly cheering herself on in her heart.

For today's date, she had prepared for an entire night, and had even planned the route.

After all, having been disrupted by two meddlesome guys yesterday, today she specifically chose a place where her acquaintances wouldn't appear, which was the Imperial Capital's famous dating holy land, Marriage Mountain.

The reason Marriage Mountain was famous, besides the hundred-meter-tall Marriage Tree on the mountain, was also because of many touching love stories.

However, these weren't the main points; the point was that there were many activities on the mountain that could enhance the friendship between couples.

Li Chen had been holed up in the palace for a long time and had long heard of this place, but this was his first time coming.

The scenery of Marriage Mountain was beautiful, like a flowing painting; mountain flowers were in full bloom, colorful butterflies were dancing, and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance.

Fallen leaves paved golden paths, and people stepping on them would make a rustling sound.

There were quite a few couples coming and going, but there were also many who went up alone to pray for marriage.

Marriage Mountain was not only rugged, but also at a high altitude; the further up one went, the fewer people there were around.

Li Chen and Chu Ruoyan were both cultivators, so even if the road up the mountain was relatively rugged, it couldn't stump them at all.

When they walked halfway up the mountain road, Chu Ruoyan secretly took out her small notebook and glanced at it; in the upcoming section of the road, she had designed a small segment where she would twist her ankle.

The reason she chose a position further ahead was also because she was afraid Li Chen would feel too tired.

In order to appear realistic, she had even walked through Marriage Mountain once last night.

It could be seen that for this date, Chu Ruoyan was also very dedicated.

The homework she did was even more serious than her cultivation.

Walking step by step to the stairs where the road was relatively difficult, Chu Ruoyan was very nervous, and her brain had already started to run wild.

She was somewhat worried that Li Chen would see that she was acting; what if Li Chen thought she was very scheming?

Why didn't she consider this point yesterday? Should she have chosen a better place?

Thinking and thinking, she didn't pay attention to the stairs under her feet and really twisted her ankle.

That subconscious gasp for air, and that slightly painful expression, really didn't look like she was acting.

At this moment, Chu Ruoyan's small persistence appeared, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but she seemed determined to walk to the predetermined location.

Li Chen was certainly very sensible; he picked her up, placed her on the grass beside them, and massaged the twisted area for her.

As a Sage Realm expert, he could indeed use his own ability to help reduce the swelling in Chu Ruoyan's leg.

But was it necessary? Of course, it wasn't necessary.

This was a rare welfare segment, so naturally, he had to cherish it well.

During the massage, the delicate and smooth feel of the lower leg was truly hard to put down.

Actually, when they first met, Li Chen had noticed that Chu Ruoyan's figure was very tall, and these legs were really long.

If he carried them on his shoulders, how exciting that would be.

However, there were passersby coming and going here; if it were another place, Li Chen wouldn't have let her off.

After rubbing for a while, Li Chen carried Chu Ruoyan on his back, and incidentally, he could also feel the softness coming from behind.

It could be said that in this wave, the two of them had tacit coordination, and both had achieved the goals they wanted.

They roughly understood each other's meaning, so there was no need to be so coy.

It wasn't that Chu Ruoyan wasn't reserved; as a woman, she would certainly have a little bit of shyness in her heart.

But she knew even more clearly what kind of person Li Chen was; if she missed this village, she wouldn't find this shop!

Didn't she see the nature of Liu Hao and Wu Qi, who wished they were women themselves?

Yesterday, it was because she wasn't proactive enough that she knew those two guys had taken advantage of the situation.

Today, it was rare to have a solo opportunity with Li Chen, so she had to grasp it well. Not long after, the two arrived at the top of Marriage Mountain, and in front of them was the legendary Marriage Tree that represented love.

While shaking the fortune-telling tube, Chu Ruoyan kept silently praying for a good fortune, preferably a top-tier fortune.

Li Chen, on the other hand, activated his cultivation technique, directly letting Chu Ruoyan 'shake' out a top-tier fortune.

The two of them—one expecting heaven's blessing, one having the ability to choose for himself—the result was what they both wanted.

Next were some small activities on the mountain, such as carrying someone on your back across a bridge while blindfolded; one person is blindfolded, and one person directs the path forward. If you go the wrong way, you will fall into the pool water, testing each other's tacit understanding.

As long as you pay, the staff here will also say a romantic meaning.

To put it bluntly, it was using some small games to let shy couples increase some physical contact, so as to improve their feelings.

Besides this, there were some relatively simple activities, but the two participating in the activities both had their own plans.

The most outrageous thing was that the two of them inexplicably matched very well; even if Chu Ruoyan sometimes made a mistake, Li Chen acted as if he knew her plan and could always help her complete it, incidentally taking advantage of the situation.

During this period, there were actually quite a few small troubles.

!

For example, a woman wearing a cloak and with a plump figure accidentally fell over.

Even if it was just a glimpse, one could see the stunning face on the other side.

If Li Chen had caught her, he could indeed have grasped this full welfare.

But he just simply activated the energy in his body, letting this woman stabilize her figure.

This approach of his won Chu Ruoyan's appreciation, as well as the cloaked woman's gratitude.

While playing small games, one could also see two big fools fighting over a woman, hindering everyone's normal activities.

Li Chen was too lazy to speak; he just slid his finger and pointed through the air, and the two directly vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Knowing they had angered a powerhouse, the two immediately got up to apologize and left directly.

In front of a true powerhouse, the two didn't dare to lose their heads over a woman.

That just now was just a lesson; if they still didn't know what was good for them, then it wouldn't just be vomiting blood.

But the people nearby didn't think so; they felt it was the God of Marriage manifesting, punishing the troublemakers here.

Consequently, quite a few more people ran under the Marriage Tree to pray for blessings.

And here, there was one more legend.

But Chu Ruoyan beside them saw it clearly; where was the God of Marriage manifesting? Standing in front of them was the true God!

A happy day ended just like that; when the two went down the mountain, it was already dusk.

Chu Ruoyan was very moved; three days! Finally, there was a decent date!

This Marriage Mountain was good everywhere, but the only thing that made Li Chen dissatisfied was that there was no one nearby to open a five-star inn or something; even if there was a room by the hour, they really didn't know how to do business.

However, today's goal could be considered achieved; taking down Chu Ruoyan was just a matter of time.

Dating, after all, the most important thing is feedback.

As long as a woman really likes you, she will naturally show initiative.

In Li Chen's view, the final result is important, but the process is also indispensable.

With his strength and status, if he just wanted beauty, it would be too simple.

Of course, he didn't rule out that he would do so in the future.

But for a woman like Chu Ruoyan, he enjoyed the process of obtaining her more.

After all, he could clearly distinguish between who to spend his life with and who to have a good time with.
