Chapter 30 Confession From the occasional glances from Kuan Wuchen, Qi Wu…

Qi Wu was not unaware of Wu Chen's occasional glances over.

Now that Lu Qing had arrived at Medicine King Valley, she wasn't in a hurry to tell him everything. On the contrary, her words had likely already overturned many of Lu Qing's understanding. Qi Wu was also afraid that Lu Qing might do something rash in a moment of excitement.

So Qi Wu stood up. “There’s plenty of time. You can ask me any questions you have. I’ll arrange accommodations for you and have someone prepare some good food as a welcome feast. From today onwards, this is your home. You are free to wander around and get familiar with it. I’ll have Sen’er accompany you.”

"No, no need, sister." Lu Qing's mind was a little confused. "I'm fine on my own."

Qi Wu smiled and walked away.

Seeing his wife leave, Luo Yuan smiled and asked Wu Chen, "Why don't you two talk? I'll go see if Qi Wu needs any help."

After they left, Wu Chen walked towards Lu Qing, who was sitting alone in the pavilion.

Lu Qing didn't turn around immediately, so Wu Chen quietly sat down to the side.

For a moment, the two of them silently looked at the medicinal field in front of them.

Lu Qing finally couldn't outlast Wu Chen's patience. After a long while, she spoke angrily, "Liar!"

Although Wu Chen was somewhat helpless, he was also straightforward: "I was wrong!"

Compared to his previous excuses and prevarications outside Tanjiazhuang, Wu Chen was quite frank this time, saying, "I'll accept whatever punishment you want."

Lu Qing was filled with resentment and desperately wanted to have a big argument with him. Unexpectedly, he didn't offer a single explanation and immediately lowered his head to admit his mistake. This anger had nowhere to go, but keeping it bottled up wasn't Lu Qing's style, so she grabbed Wu Chen's arm and bit him hard.

Wu Chen gasped as she was bitten, but he didn't break free. Instead, he let her pounce on his arm like a little beast.

The skin, now free of protective force, was quickly bitten open, and blood seeped out, mingling with Lu Qing's tears and dripping onto the ground.

Wu Chen stared at the crimson water droplets on the ground, feeling the strength in his arm slowly loosen. He couldn't help but sigh and pulled Lu Qing into his arms. "I'm sorry, it was my fault."

Lu Qing's lips trembled, "You liar!" Fei Mu was right, no man is any good!

Wu Chen was utterly helpless, yet there were some things he couldn't bring himself to say in his defense. He had indeed lied to Lu Qing, but he had also been deceived by Qi Wu. However, if he said anything now, Lu Qing would likely think he was making excuses, which would only add fuel to the fire.

He silently held Lu Qing in his arms.

The warm embrace reminded Lu Qing of every dawn and dusk these past few days. Was this guy trying to use his beauty to escape this time? Lu Qing huffed, "Don't think I'll let you off so easily this time!"

In other words, she would ultimately let him go, instead of turning her back on him and cutting all ties. This kind of threat, which revealed her true intentions so easily, was not threatening at all. Wu Chen chuckled and looked at her tear-streaked face, and couldn't help but reach out to wipe away her tears. "It's okay, you can punish me however you want."

"Tell me honestly, when I first saw you, were you planning to eat me?" Lu Qing stared at him with wide eyes, not blinking an eye.

Wu Chen thought for a moment and nodded.

Before, when she asked him, he would always beat around the bush. Now, he answers every question, but his answers only make her want to bite him more.

Lu Qing glared at him angrily, "Then why aren't you eating anymore?"

Wu Chen sighed, "Before that, I had no idea that the Fruit of Spiritual Communication could transform into a human."

Qi Wu has really screwed him over.

Lu Qing wouldn't let him off the hook. "Now you know! What, do you still want to eat it?"

Wu Chen paused for a moment, then avoided answering with a half-smile.

Lu Qing was so angry that she wanted to bite his other arm.

This time, Wu Chen wasn't about to let her bite him, and he darted out of the pavilion. Lu Qing practically roared, "You dare run away? Stop right there!"

Wu Chen moved swiftly, and Lu Qing also exerted all her strength. The two of them, one after the other, quickly left the manor and disappeared into the valley.

Lawson peeked around curiously, only to be smacked on the head by his father. "The adults have things to do; children are not allowed to disturb them."

Lawson muttered, clutching his head, "What kind of adult is she? She's probably not even as old as me!"

The two men chased each other into the valley and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Wu Chen suddenly stopped and turned around, opening his arms wide.

Lu Qing couldn't stop in time and crashed into his arms. Wu grunted, then chuckled softly.

Lu Qing reached out and grabbed his neck, "You actually dared to run away, and you even dared to laugh."

Looking at her face, which was full of emotion, Wu Chen's gaze slowly fell from her eyes to her lips, and then he lowered his head and kissed her.

The warm, soft touch, the tenderness that penetrated to the bone. Compared to the gentleness that was masked by the cold water underwater last time, this lingering affection was so real and moving. Lu Qing was stunned, letting Wu Chen kiss her gently, completely forgetting to resist.

Until Wu Chen left her, he gazed at her with a smile.

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment before she reacted. Her stern face showed a strange expression, but after holding it in for a while, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. "What is this? Compensating with beauty?"

Wu Chen reached out and flicked her nose. "No, I couldn't help it."

Lu Qing didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wu Chen didn't push his luck. Instead, he took her hand and walked forward with her. "Actually, I only just found out that Qi Wu is also a Spirit Fruit. You can ask her about some things yourself in the future."

This setback he suffered might be one of the most glorious achievements of Qi Wu's life, and he will probably be extremely proud of it and will not hide it.

There must be some past events here. Lu Qing's eyes darted around. "So, you took me to Tan Family Village and Sword Casting Manor on purpose?"

Wu Chen sighed, "When you took human form, I was just as frightened as you were. Taking you to those two places was indeed to find out more secrets about the Fruit of Spiritual Communication." It was the tragic experiences of those two that made him determined to send Lu Qing to Medicine King Valley.

Lu Qing sniffed, "Hmph, even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you."

Wu Chen said indifferently, "It's alright, you know it yourself."

Before long, the two walked back to the villa side by side.

Qi Wu spotted the two from afar, and saw Lu Qing already speaking calmly with Wu Chen. She couldn't help but sigh, "Lust makes one lose their mind; is this a common ailment of our clan?"

Luo Yuan, who was standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Qi Wu glanced back at him and couldn't help but laugh.
