In the secret room…
Lin Langyue hid in a corner and covered her collar with her face flushed red.
Recalling the morning… She couldn't tell if it was morning or not. She was in Li Ran's arms the moment she opened her eyes.
“Too embarrassing!” She bit her lips lightly.
Warm and cozy…
These two words suddenly appeared in her mind. She had to admit that she felt very safe in Li Ran’s embrace.
"Bah, what am I thinking?"
Lin Langyue rubbed her hair in pain.
Ever since she had been trapped in this secret room with Li Ran, she had broken through her bottom line step by step.
From massaging him to wearing his clothes, and now, she had already fallen asleep in his arms!
Then wouldn't the next step be…
"This won't do; I have to stop!"
Looking at Li Ran, who was cooking something, Lin Langyue decided not to sleep on the bed today.
Otherwise, her Dao-heart would have dissipated!
"Dinner is ready," at this time, Li Ran shouted.
Lin Langyue couldn't help but gulp as she smelled the strong fragrance in the air.
"I'm not hungry…"
"It's free today."
"Coming." She ran over without any dignity.
Looking at the steaming copper pot on the table, Lin Langyue asked curiously,
"These dishes are raw. How do we eat them?"
Li Ran smiled and said, "This is called hotpot. Once the dishes are cooked, you can eat them."
"Oh." Lin Langyue nodded in understanding.
She pointed at the dish that was as black as a rag and said, "What kind of dish is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
"This is the belly," Li Ran said.
"Belly?"
"It's the Silver Horned Ox's stomach."
“……”
Lin Langyue shuddered.
This was the first time she had heard of someone eating a cow's stomach…
"What is this pink strip?"
"Oh, that's the Fireplume Duck's intestines."
“……” Lin Langyue asked, "Are you sure you can eat these things?"
Li Ran nodded. "Of course, I've already had them cleaned up."
"Not only can it be eaten, but it's also very delicious."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of scalded belly and put it to her mouth. "Try it if you don’t believe me."
Lin Langyue wanted to refuse, but when she saw Li Ran's expectant gaze, she opened her mouth.
"Oh!" She chewed, and her eyes lit up.
"It’s brittle; chew well."
"Of course."
Li Ran himself also ate a piece, revealing a satisfied expression.
Lin Langyue looked at the pair of chopsticks, and her cheeks burned slightly.
"What are you standing there for? Let’s eat together, come sit down."
"Oh, okay."
As Lin Langyue sat next to him, the steam in front of her warmed her body.
An unprecedented feeling suddenly rose in her heart.
Being trapped here with him… seems to have its perks?
Mount Xuanling…
Qin Ruyan landed from the sky tiredly.
The Youluo Temple was located in the north, whereas the Grand Myriad Mountain Range was located in the southern territory, and the distance between them practically stretched across the Vast Land.
Along the way, she had used the imperial government's teleportation array and had flown day and night. It had taken her a full four days to reach Mount Xuanling.
She did not dare to delay in the slightest and quickly walked towards the Youluo Temple.
“Stop!"
The two guards stopped her and asked with a frown, "Who's here?"
"I am the Holy Maiden of the Joyous Unity Sect, Qin Ruyan. I have something urgent to report to Sect Master Leng!"
Qin Ruyan revealed her identity token.
The guard confirmed. "Holy Maiden Qin, do you have a letter from your sect?"
Qin Ruyan shook her head and said, "It happened suddenly, and I'm not here on behalf of the Joyous Unity Sect."
One of the guards said, "Without a sect order, no one is allowed to enter Youluo Temple. Saint Qin, please return."
"This is an urgent matter," she said. "Sheng Zi Li has been missing for many days. We must let Sect Leader Leng know about this!" Qin Ruyan said anxiously.
“Sheng Zi is missing?!”
The two guards looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.
Li Ran had indeed not been in the sect recently.
"Holy Maiden Qin, wait a moment. I'll report to the Sect Master."
The guard did not dare to delay and turned to enter the mountain gate.
Qin Ruyan was waiting anxiously at the foot of the mountain.
After about ten minutes, an enormous suction force came.
She felt her vision blur. When she opened her eyes again, she was already in the Youluo Temple.
Leng Wuyan was sitting on the phoenix chair.
Qin Ruyan hurriedly bowed. "Disciple Qin Ruyan greets Sect Master Leng."
Leng Wuyan frowned, "I heard the guard say that Ran'er is missing. What exactly is going on?"
Qin Ruyan did not dare hide anything and told the truth about what had happened since the beast tide began.
Of course, other than the relationship between Li Ran and Yue Jianli…
As soon as she finished speaking, the air in the hall became freezing.
She felt like a mountain was pressing down on her body, and even her breathing was about to stop.
Leng Wuyan's cold and oppressive voice rang out, "You're saying that the Deity Transformation Realm of the Yin Corpse Dao has attacked Ran'er, and he's already gone?"
Qin Ruyan nodded. "I've been searching the Grand Myriad Mountain Range for three days, but I haven't found him at all!“
Rumble!
A thunderclap exploded outside the hall!
Demon Peak was instantly covered in black clouds!
All the living beings in the entire Mount Xuanlingwere had fallen down to the ground!
At the same time.
Bai Yunfeng, within the Imperial Center Administration.
A series of hurried bells rang out as the Immortal Crane flapped its wings.
Yi Qinglan had left seclusion!
There was no time in the mountains.
It was unknown how long Lin Langyue and Li Ran had spent in the dark room.
In any case, if he was hungry, he would eat. If he was sleepy, he would sleep. He would be carefree and happy.
Lin Langyue gradually accepted the truth.
They were trapped in this secret room. They didn't know if they could go out again.
All the previous pursuits seemed to be so illusory.
On the contrary, this dark and cramped stone room brought her an indescribable warmth that she had never felt before.
After spending the past few days with Li Ran, Lin Langyue no longer recognized him.
She was shy, flustered, and inexplicably worried about her gains and losses. This was the first time she knew that she had such rich emotions.
Here, she was finally able to take down all of her titles and forget the expectations of her master and sect.
The real Lin Langyue.
This was the fourth time she had woken up in Li Ran's arms.
As she listened to the powerful sound of his heart beating, her cheeks flushed red, but she didn't get up and run away.
At this moment, Li Ran also woke up. His deep voice rang in her ears. "What do you want to eat today?"
Lin Langyue thought for a moment. "I want to have roast meat."
"Okay, remember the old rule. A bunch of roast meat and massage for half an incense stick," Li Ran said.
"Tch, I know!" Lin Langyue blushed and smiled brightly.
If they could continue like this, it would be pretty good…
