Adhering to the philosophy that "I am not embarrassed, but the other person is embarrassed," Qu Jian'er calmly withdrew her hand.

Zuo Chen, full of youthful vigor, could hardly withstand the teasing of a certain hooligan. He barely managed to suppress his reaction.

Then I heard it.

Qu Jian'er's earlobes turned red, and she cleared her throat, saying, "I'm sorry, uh, they're quite big, huh?"

To avoid embarrassment.

He even added a timely compliment.

Zuo Chen's voice was hoarse as he said helplessly, "Thank you?"

The topic was clearly going astray.

Qu Jian'er, to prove her image, said, "You're welcome. If this were in the real world, we'd all be flagged and warned. Actually, I just wanted to check your pulse."

Zuo Chen was puzzled upon hearing this and subconsciously asked, "Otherwise, what else do you want to see?"

Because of Qu Jian'er's carelessness, he almost lost his composure. He barely managed to distract himself and his thoughts became muddled. Only after he finished speaking did he realize what he had said.

But what's said has already been said.

Afterwards, all that could be done was remain silent.

Qu Jian'er turned her face away, hiding her true expression. Of course, there was still a lot she wanted to see!

For example, xx, xxx...

but.

How could you say such lewd things?

What if we scare people away?

Qu Jian'er asked seriously, "How are you feeling?"

Zuo Chen was still confused: "Which aspect are you referring to?"

Qu Jian'er really wanted to distance herself from people.

But having the rare opportunity to get close, she didn't want to miss the chance to indulge in his beauty.

Qu Jian'er took a deep breath: "It's luck! After the luck returned, did you feel anything?"

Zuo Chen blinked and said, "It feels very comfortable."

Qu Jian'er shamefully fell silent: "..."

It was a perfectly normal conversation.

Why is she always able to understand things differently?

Looking at Zuo Chen's bewildered face.

Qu Jian'er was heartbroken.

It was all her fault that Zuo Chen was harmed.

They transformed a majestic, lion-like figure into a neurotic, rambling, and adorable young man.

It wasn't until Zuo Chen's umbrella was under Qu Jian'er's parasol that he slowly realized what was happening.

Zuo Chen closed the black umbrella and tried to hold it for Qu Jian'er, but found that he couldn't take it from her.

Qu Jian'er patted Zuo Chen's shoulder earnestly: "You've already suffered enough. How could I, who am so understanding and considerate, let you suffer any more?"

She quickly covered her mouth to stop herself from saying the words that had slipped out.

I didn't want these words to offend Zuo Chen's ears.

Suffering Zuo Chen: "..."

There was no other choice.

Zuo Chen accepted Qu Jian'er's umbrella-holding service.

When the two had walked halfway down the road, each with their own thoughts, Zuo Chen suddenly realized that this familiar road was endless.

Zuo Chen frowned: "Did you notice?"

Qu Jian'er was on high alert: "Huh? What did you find out?! I'm not a pervert!"

She was completely unaware of her own "hiding something obvious," let alone the strangeness of the surroundings.

Zuo Chen looked helplessly at the person who wanted to cover their ears but couldn't because they were holding up an umbrella.

He reached out and helped Qu Jian'er cover her left ear.

While feeling grateful, Qu Jian'er exclaimed in a silly manner, "Thank you, your hands are very big too!"

Zuo Chen's lips twitched: "..." Why did you use "also"? Is this topic going to get out of hand?

Qu Jian'er regretted her words as soon as she finished speaking; her ears grew redder and hotter.

She avoided the help of those around her, placed the giant umbrella in the other person's arms, and squatted down to draw circles.

Zuo Chen made sure Qu Jian'er didn't get wet in the rain, then looked around at the surroundings, frowning as he stared into the darkness.

Something seemed to be surging there.

Qu Jian'er finally noticed something was wrong, and she suddenly stood up: "Something is blocking the way."

Zuo Chen said, "The feng shui here is very good; such supernatural events have never happened here before."

Qu Jian'er said solemnly, "Your luck has just returned and is still unstable with your body. It will attract many things that are unaware of death to plunder this luck that is like a gift from heaven."

She drew her crimson whip for the first time in front of Zuo Chen, about to forcefully break the strange phenomenon.

The scene suddenly changed.

The two of them found themselves alone in an unfamiliar environment.

The jagged giant trees blocked the way, turning the surroundings into a maze.

A strange voice came from all directions: "I know you are strong, and you deliberately lured me into the Yu family, causing me to lose one of my clones. But within my domain, I am a god, and you will never be able to escape my Forest Labyrinth!"

Zuo Chen raised an eyebrow: "You know them?"

Qu Jian'er touched her chin and shook her head: "I couldn't possibly know anyone more narcissistic than me."

Zuo Chen smiled helplessly.

The owner of the voice never expected that Qu Jian'er would not remember him at all.

He appeared in a fit of rage.

The mixed-race young man had blond hair and a pale face; he stared intently at Qu Jian'er.

Qu Jian'er nodded.

Rosen bared his fangs, his expression laced with the ferocity of a vampire: "So you finally remembered me?"

Qu Jian'er said to Zuo Chen, "How could I possibly know a stinky bat that likes to suck blood?"

Rosen, having lost his elegant demeanor, angrily corrected, "You wretched human! I am Earl Rosen of the Edward family, whose lineage has lasted for 936 years!"

Qu Jian'er scoffed: "I've seen even a thousand-year-old zombie king, what are you, a little bat, showing off for?"

Rosen was furious. He had finally found You Ran as his prey and was just about to enjoy her.

They learned that the other party was going to attend a metaphysics conference.

Then they went to the You family to see the strongest life weapon of the Xuanmen, which the You family had guarded for many years.

However, they were trapped by an array outside the Life Weapon Tower.

To sacrifice one's life for the benefit of others.
