When Shen Changlin looked down at her like that, Gao Yue'er felt a little shy. She looked up at her chosen future husband, the future supreme powerhouse, and said, "I'm done."

"Of course, I also hope to talk to you a bit more. Do you have time, Shen Changlin? I think I would be a good match for you."

But Shen Changlin said with his eyes half-closed, "Now that you've finished talking, you can leave. I'm not interested in you, and I don't want to know anything about you."

Gao Yue'er was stunned. Before she could speak, Shen Changlin had already turned around and walked upstairs, seemingly without any mercy. The Wan Dao Sect elders standing to the side couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

He wasn't surprised that Shen Changlin refused.

But since he was so decisive, even the elder of the Myriad Paths Sect couldn't say anything. He turned to Gao Yue'er and said, "Miss Gao, as you can see, Shen Changlin has no interest in finding a Daoist partner. He is still young and is at a crucial stage of his cultivation. You should go back first."

Gao Yue'er was somewhat unwilling, but seeing the empty staircase, she gritted her teeth and finally left with the maid behind her.

Only after they were far from the inn did the maid whisper, "Miss, would you like some for Shen Changlin—"

She paused, then spoke suggestively.

Gao Yue'er never tolerates being contradicted, and she always retaliates against anyone who makes her lose face. Her maids are used to it.

But this time, Gao Yue'er shook her head. She turned around, looked at the inn behind her, and said in a deep voice, "No need. Go back and tell my father to prepare some things and send them over again. Don't I have a ten-thousand-year-old divine medicine? Pack it up and send it over as well."

Upon hearing this, the maid was taken aback: "Miss, didn't Shen Changlin refuse you? Why are you still sending gifts?"

What good would it do to refuse?

Gao Yue'er raised her chin slightly and said haughtily, "He is a chosen one of heaven, so it's normal for him to be a little arrogant. He's much better than those who shamelessly ask for marriage. Otherwise, why would I choose him?"

A strong person should have pride, and she deserves a man like that, which is why Gao Yue'er doesn't mind condescending herself.

The maid bowed and trotted back to the city lord's mansion.

Gao Yue'er stood still, staring at the inn that had been booked by the Wandao Sect. Her eyes darted around, and she suddenly took out a jade pendant from her storage ring. Its lustrous green color was exceptionally beautiful.

This was given to Gao Yue'er by her father.

With this jade pendant, her aura can be shielded to the greatest extent. It is said that even a master at the Void Refinement Realm would have difficulty detecting her. It is a life-saving weapon used in combination with another spiritual treasure.

At that moment, Gao Yue'er put the jade pendant on her waist, concealed her figure, and lightly leaped up to the upper floor of the inn.

Is she someone who gives up so easily?

When a woman pursues a man, it's as easy as piercing a thin veil; she'll always have a chance!

...

Meanwhile, in the top-floor room of the inn...

The woman lay flat on the bed, still unconscious. Her eyes and brows were as cold and aloof as the moon, making even a glance seem like a desecration, as if they carried frost. But her bright red lips brought out boundless beauty, as eye-catching as a burning peach blossom.

Shen Changlin placed the long sword on the table, brought in a basin of water from outside, placed it on the bedside table, and then sat down on the edge of the bed.

He wet a towel in the basin of water, wrung it out, and then held Ruan Qing'an's wrist with one hand, wiping it with the wet towel. He carefully wiped along Ruan Qing'an's slender fingers, his expression gentler than spring water as he lowered his eyes.

"Master, I participated in the Hidden Dragon Competition today and even won first place! Isn't your Chang Lin amazing?"

“I captured a bunch of people and made them hand over the Hidden Dragon Token before they could leave. That secret realm is quite large, and it would be too troublesome for me to capture them one by one. So I tried to lure them all out and then eliminate them.”

The boy spoke softly about the day's events, his eyes warm: "I'm afraid if the competition goes on too long and I don't see my master today, I'll die..."

He murmured softly, the wet towel falling to the ground.

Shen Changlin lowered his head and pressed it against Ruan Qing'an's palm, like a large dog seeking comfort, gently kissing her fingertips.

"Master..."

"Master..."

He called her name softly, kissing her fingertips gently.

In fact, all it would take is to use the Cleansing Incantation to cleanse it, but Shen Changlin didn't want to, and was even less willing to entrust it to others. For the past period of time, he has been taking care of the unconscious Ruan Qing'an in this way.

The tip of my nose was filled with the woman's delicate, cool fragrance, which was incredibly alluring.

Shen Changlin's Adam's apple bobbed up and down. When he looked up, he saw Ruan Qing'an with her eyes closed, and his eyes were filled with lust.

His moon lay there before him.

"Master, Changlin just misses you so much..."

Just then, on the windowsill outside the room, Gao Yue'er lightly rose, one hand gripping the window frame. She chuckled softly, preparing to sneak in through the window.

Isn't Shen Changlin refusing to give them a chance?

Hmph, she came in by herself. A beautiful woman delivered herself right to his door. Shen Changlin wouldn't throw her out, would he?

Just as she was thinking this, Gao Yue'er suddenly heard voices inside the room. They were low, hoarse murmurs filled with desire, calling out "Master" as if they were holding it to the very tip of their heart.

She instinctively looked into the room, and her pupils suddenly contracted!

On the bed, the young man lay prone, his back arched like a longbow, his tall and slender figure almost completely enveloping the woman on the bed.

He lowered his head, buried his face in the crook of her neck, and kissed her tenderly, his large hands clasping her slender, white fingers.

Like a wild dog, he secretly and silently vented his vile desires. The young man's body seemed to tremble slightly because of the suppressed passion, but his courage was limited to that. He only dared to ravage her neck, leaving no trace.

He dared not be too presumptuous any longer, not even daring to touch those crimson lips, because—

He is blaspheming his moon.

"Master..."

"Master... I love you..."

Shen Changlin spoke in a low voice, his throat suppressing a slight panting, filled with the intense desire and longing of a young man in love.

Outside the window, Gao Yue'er stared wide-eyed in terror.

She staggered for a moment, then fell straight out of the window with a loud thud, startling Shen Changlin inside the room. He abruptly looked up at the window, rolled off the bed, and used the blankets to cover the unconscious Ruan Qing'an.

His deep black eyes were filled with a sinister and murderous aura, like a wild beast that had been awakened, sending chills down one's spine.

"Who is it?!"
