Chapter 278: Blood of the Strange Beasts

Afterwards, Lu Xingzhou actually fell asleep.

Ye Tinglan was still studying the sticky substance on her hand with interest; when she turned her head and saw the man had fallen asleep, she was quite surprised, so she reached out to take his pulse.

Soon her expression grew strange.

Lu Xingzhou was experiencing mental relaxation after completing a certain "grand vow" and reaching a conclusion; in a sense, this too belonged to a form of cultivation.

For example, if an alchemist sets an extremely difficult pill goal for himself, trekking for ten years for that goal, the moment the pill finally comes out of the furnace, the progress in cultivation is more complete than the pill itself.

Lu Xingzhou was in this state right now; when he woke up, he would truly be at the threshold of third grade.

But his "small goal" was not the "going out for trial" or "break through to third grade" he originally thought.

It was "obtain Mr."

Damn it.

The Holy Lord exploded a curse in his belly that hadn't been heard in a hundred years, gripping his fist and almost wanting to strike down.

But just as the fist was about to touch his cheek, Ye Tinglan laughed on her own, and the fist turned into a caress.

"You haven't obtained him yet, does this count?" Ye Tinglan's eyes shifted, and she murmured to herself: "Such little ambition."

Whether physically or in terms of public identity, he truly hadn't obtained him.

But the old woman knew the dividing line in a man's heart.

If you are willing in your heart, it seems in a man's heart that it is already obtained; as for whether it is truly done, it seems not so important.

This is a man who walks with his heart; as for those who only come for your body, they naturally have another set of judgments.

Unintentionally, it seemed he had declared his true heart again; Ye Tinglan was truly at a loss between laughter and tears.

But then she remembered again that this set of judgment standards he used seemed to target not just herself.

Shen Tang probably hadn't given him either, but they seemed to already acknowledge themselves as a pair.

Ye Tinglan's expression suddenly turned ugly; she stood up and went to the cabin side, watching the long sky in the dark night change.

Now the route the phoenix carriage was taking was to Xiazhou; Ye Tinglan knew that once Lu Xingzhou finished his business, he would definitely go pick up A'nuo. She had forgotten that going to Xiazhou for Lu Xingzhou was even more about seeing Shen Tang... she was sending a man to meet a rival.

What to do after meeting him...

Judging solely by who came first, there is still room to fight; you, Shen Tang, have no parental order or matchmaker's words, while this seat does not need such things; I win!

But there was one biggest problem: Shen Tang was probably truly heading towards marrying Lu Xingzhou, but Ye Tinglan repeatedly asked her own heart, and truly there was no option for marriage, not even thought of.

It's over; from this angle, it's all over; with what confidence to face Shen Tang? Truly becoming a mistress, sitting at the same table as Pei Chuyun.

How did it turn out like this...

Ye Tinglan angrily grabbed her hair, and the neatly arranged hair scattered into a mess.

Good, good; she didn't truly give it all to him because of a moment of emotion, there was still room... looking back now, her disciple's serious "be reserved" at that time was very timely; if she hadn't been reserved for a moment, this time it would have collapsed even more.

Miss Qingli's face-serious look was quite suitable for being an inspection and supervision officer... let the disciple remind her more in the future not to get too heated-headed.

Turning her head, she saw Lu Xingzhou seemed almost awake; Ye Tinglan thought for a moment, took off the disheveled magical robe that had been torn, and changed back into the clothes belonging to Lady Ye.

Just as she finished changing, Lu Xingzhou opened his eyes; he was a bit confused himself, not knowing how he fell asleep. Seeing Ye Tinglan had changed back into Lady Ye's attire, he felt as if he had had a dream.

Ye Tinglan sat by the bed, reached out to take his pulse again, and said with a stern face: "This trial brought basically no improvement to your alchemy art; instead, cultivation was raised to the third grade threshold. Do you have a plan for how to break through?"

Lu Xingzhou said: "Does Mr. have any suggestions?"

Ye Tinglan glanced at him sideways: "Not Lady anymore?"

"Ah?" Lu Xingzhou had no obsession with this Mr. or Lady; he just called out casually because in a scene of seeking instruction, it was more natural to call out Mr.; he didn't expect she would actually have an opinion...

Ye Tinglan said with a stern face: "Is it because we are almost at Xiazhou, and you want to put on a show in front of Shen Tang?"

What is this and what... Lu Xingzhou, at a loss between laughter and tears, hugged her.

Dealing with women sometimes doesn't require arguing nonsense with them; a kiss can solve all problems.

Ye Tinglan struggled a few times but couldn't break free, so she obediently let herself be kissed; when they separated again, she was soft all over.

Lu Xingzhou repeated at this moment: "Does Mr. have any suggestions?"

"Is this how you treat Mr...."
