Chapter 42

A bit of a red glow also rose on her face because of this.

At this time, Zhong Ling suddenly saw a figure stumbling onto the shore in the distant pool.

"Brother Wutian, is that Brother Duan? How could he be here?"

Hearing Zhong Ling's voice, Gu Hanyuan frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

After dispelling the strange feeling in his heart, he looked toward Duan Yu.

The disheveled Duan Yu hadn't discovered the two of them yet.

Gu Hanyuan pulled Zhong Ling into his arms, hid behind a tree, and observed silently.

Zhong Ling was suddenly held in Gu Hanyuan's arms, and she felt that the surroundings were full of a pleasant masculine scent, making her feel as if she were about to faint.

Not daring to struggle, she had to lie quietly on his chest.

Gu Hanyuan hadn't felt anything at first, but looking at Zhong Ling's blushing face and obedient appearance, he glanced at Duan Yu in the distance again.

He suddenly opened the lower half of the mask and lowered his head to kiss Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling was stunned; she didn't know how, but she closed her eyes, and her arms wrapped around Gu Hanyuan's neck.

She didn't know how much time had passed.

It wasn't until Gu Hanyuan was startled by the system's notification sound.

Obtained an A-rank villain rating, 1,000 villain points.

It should be the gain from Duan Yu being trapped into kowtowing and discovering that the prayer mat had long been broken.

However, since he had already been interrupted, Gu Hanyuan no longer had the mood to continue.

Zhong Ling, with her blushing face, was looking at him blankly, as if asking, "Why did you stop?"

Gu Hanyuan amusedly wiped the stain from the corner of her lips with his thumb.

This action finally woke Zhong Ling up, and she subconsciously raised her sleeve to wipe left and right.

"You... how could you suddenly kiss me?"

She protested weakly.

Gu Hanyuan reached out to pinch Zhong Ling's chin and lifted it lightly.

"Isn't it fine if it's sudden?"

"No... no, it's not."

Zhong Ling felt as if her tongue were tied in a knot, and she couldn't speak clearly.

Gu Hanyuan gave a wicked smile.

"Then... was it comfortable?"

"Comf... Pah! Brother Wutian is truly annoying."

Zhong Ling realized she was being teased, slapped away the hand pinching her chin, and hammered him a few times in shame and anger.

Gu Hanyuan didn't resist, and after she finished venting her shame and anger, he pulled her out.

It turned out Duan Yu had already left, so he could go to the Langhuan Blessed Land to recover the jade statue.

By the way, he received another villain rating from the system on the way.

Zhong Ling's admiration, S-rank rating, 3,000 villain points.

The current series rating is SS-rank, totaling 9,700 villain points, temporarily unavailable for collection.

Tsk, sure enough, do I still have to go all the way?

However, Zhong Ling's series rating was clearly much faster than he had imagined, and there were still quite a few events she could complete later.

He took Zhong Ling through the waterfall curtain and walked into the Langhuan Blessed Land amidst her exclamations.

However, after entering the cave, he still reminded her to close her eyes.

After all, the jade statue had a hypnotic effect.

Gu Hanyuan didn't want to see Zhong Ling running off to cuddle with "Fairy Sister" later.

Suddenly, he hesitated again, feeling as if it might not be impossible.

However, in the end, he didn't create any extra trouble and stored the jade statue in his storage space.

Gu Hanyuan didn't explain to Zhong Ling why she had to close her eyes.

She didn't ask either, as if she trusted him completely.

The two strolled around the Langhuan Blessed Land.

However, after the jade statue was gone, the entire Langhuan Blessed Land seemed to have fallen from a fairyland into the mortal world, with nothing outstanding about it.

Ordinary stone beds, stone tables, and stone stools.

Gu Hanyuan did tell Zhong Ling the story between Wu Yazi and Li Qiu.

Even someone as simple as Zhong Ling was speechless about these two.

A simple summary could conclude: The husband fell in love with his wife's underage younger sister and became aroused by the jade statue. The wife retaliated against her husband by finding a group of handsome men and colluding with her husband's disciple to knock him off a cliff.

How could it be so melodramatic?

A perfectly good immortal cultivation sect was played into a messy multi-cornered love affair.

Of course, in modern times, that would be a youth idol drama.

At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and the two decided to spend the night in the Langhuan Blessed Land.

As for Duan Yu, let him run for a while.

Gu Hanyuan wasn't a nanny and didn't need to follow behind him.

Gu Hanyuan went to catch a few pieces of game for dinner.

Zhong Ling also took the opportunity to catch a few poisonous snakes for the Lightning Mink's food.

After lighting a campfire, Zhong Ling leaned in Gu Hanyuan's arms and fed the poisonous snakes to the Lightning Mink.

From time to time, she would look up and take a bite of the roasted meat Gu Hanyuan handed over.

Looking at her smiling face, one knew she was in an extremely good mood.

After the two finished dinner, they tidied up the inside of the Langhuan Blessed Land.

There happened to be two stone beds here, so they didn't need to squeeze together.

Gu Hanyuan didn't mind sleeping with Zhong Ling.

But the shy young girl probably couldn't accept it, so he simply didn't bring it up.

And while Zhong Ling felt relieved, she also felt a tiny bit of disappointment.

The deep night was lonely.

Gu Hanyuan suddenly heard some movement and got up to leave the Langhuan Blessed Land.

Because it was her first time sharing a room with a member of the opposite sex, Zhong Ling didn't sleep soundly.

Seeing Gu Hanyuan leave, she hesitated for a moment and also got up to follow him out.

She didn't call out to Gu Hanyuan but instead followed quietly behind him.

However, Gu Hanyuan had long known that Zhong Ling was following behind him; he just didn't expose her.

By the way, he could also use this to test her.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes were profound.
