Chapter 37

"Okay."

Zhong Ling saw Gu Hanyuan reach out to take a few melon seeds, and she didn't know where he pressed, but the lower half of the Asura mask retracted, allowing him to crack the seeds and eat them in a relaxed and contented manner.

"You're lying."

Zhong Ling pouted, revealing an expression of dissatisfaction.

Because just by looking at the face shape, lips, and half of the nose bridge that Gu Hanyuan revealed, she subconsciously felt that Gu Hanyuan must be very handsome.

And the exposed parts showed no signs of being ruined at all.

Gu Hanyuan didn't care; he was just teasing Zhong Ling.

"My name is Zhong Ling. Who are you? What's your name?"

"Wutian. Hmm... I'm a bad guy."

Gu Hanyuan smiled meaningfully; this time he really wasn't lying to Zhong Ling.

"Who calls themselves a bad guy?"

Zhong Ling felt that Gu Hanyuan was bluffing her, and she had evidence.

"How about now? Do you still think I'm not a bad guy?"

Zhong Ling suddenly felt her waist being pinched lightly, and only then did she realize that Gu Hanyuan hadn't withdrawn the arm that was holding her waist.

She was so shy that her face turned bright red, and she felt as if her whole body had been stimulated by electricity.

This was her first intimate contact with a member of the opposite sex.

A young girl whose heart had just begun to stir was always curious about the opposite sex.

Although she reached out to grab Gu Hanyuan's hand to stop him from pinching, she didn't push away the arm that was holding her.

"Hmph, you really are a bad guy. And a big pervert!"

Zhong Ling expressed her dissatisfaction with a huff; of course, if one didn't look at her face, one could believe her a bit more.

"Then now, the bad guy wants to feed you melon seeds; will you eat them or not?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled and handed the melon seeds to Zhong Ling's lips.

Zhong Ling had originally been troubled that it was inconvenient to eat melon seeds after using one hand to grab Gu Hanyuan's hand, but she didn't expect Gu Hanyuan to feed her.

"Of course I'll eat them."

After the blush on her face deepened a bit, she opened her mouth to crack and eat the melon seeds.

After eating a few melon seeds, Zhong Ling placed the bag of melon seeds on her lap.

The hand she freed also began feeding melon seeds to Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan didn't refuse; while playing with Zhong Ling's delicate and small soft hands, occasionally rubbing her slender jade fingers, he ate the melon seeds she handed to his lips, which seemed to have become a bit more fragrant.

Whenever Zhong Ling's fingers touched Gu Hanyuan's lips or were lightly touched by his tongue, she would blush and pout coquettishly.

The peach-colored atmosphere between the two seemed like a different world from the people in the arena.

Zhong Ling no longer paid attention to the sparring in the arena.

It wasn't until the situation changed abruptly because Duan Yu mocked Gan Guanghao that she turned her attention back to the arena.

Duan Yu was forced by Zuo Zimu to spar with Gong Guangjie, but he didn't know any martial arts at all and was trying to use words to persuade the other party to give up the idea of sparring.

Unfortunately, Gong Guangjie didn't care about anything and was about to stab him with his sword.

"Brother Wutian, that bookworm looks so dull, and it seems he doesn't know martial arts either; should we help him?"

Zhong Ling and Duan Yu were indeed more compatible; seeing him in danger, she wanted to save him.

However, the fact that she came to ask for Gu Hanyuan's thoughts made him feel somewhat gratified.

"I'm a bad guy, so of course I can't save people."

Gu Hanyuan's attitude of "it has nothing to do with me" made Zhong Ling pout her little mouth again.

"Hmph, if you won't save him, I will."

Zhong Ling took a few small snakes out of the cloth bag by her leg and threw them down.

Sure enough, the Wuliangjian Sect was a group of useless people; a few small snakes made them act as if they were facing a great enemy, and their formation fell into chaos.

Although Duan Yu was saved, Zhong Ling's position was simultaneously exposed.

Everyone looked up.

Zhong Ling was just a little girl and not worth mentioning.

But Gu Hanyuan's attire was gloomy and eerie; at first glance, he didn't look like someone to be trifled with.

Zuo Zimu killed the snake and was about to question them.

Outside the door, Rong Juju of the Wuliangjian Sect's East Sect suddenly fell into the arena.

Blood was spilling from his mouth, and on his body were carved a few bloody words: "The Shennong Gang exterminates the Wuliang Sword."

Gu Hanyuan only found it amusing; two sects that were barely second-rate were still putting on such a show.

He suddenly felt bored.

Anyway, the manual from the Langhuan Jade Cave was already in hand, and he had already met Zhong Ling; next, he could just hide in the shadows and observe the development of the situation.

"Sister Ling'er, it's very boring here. I'm leaving. Are you coming?"

How could Zhong Ling object?

Gu Hanyuan jumped down from the rafters while holding Zhong Ling.

At this moment, Gong Guangjie had already been poisoned to death by the Shennong Gang's declaration of war letter.

Xin Shuangqing saw the two of them come down and questioned them:

"Don't leave! You two have unknown origins; you must be spies for the Shennong Gang."

"If you don't confess honestly, be careful of losing your lives."

Zuo Zimu also helped from the side.
