Lin Ru felt inexplicably embarrassed looking at them like that.

Actually, I just had a sudden urge to buy each of them a gift.

It just so happens that the money used wasn't my own, but that old bastard's.

But I never expected that my whim would bring tears to the eyes of these burly men.

I couldn't help but start to reflect on myself.

Were we really too stingy before...?

I wonder if Wu Ling will also tear up when he sees the gift I've carefully prepared for him?

Thinking of this, she said a few words of comfort to the brothers below who had received gifts, and then took the things in her hand to find Wu Ling.

I had only taken two steps when I felt a dull pain in my stomach.

The pain only lasted a short while before disappearing completely, as if it were an illusion.

Lin Ru suspected that she had eaten too much today and had an upset stomach.

But she had already taken the antidote, so how could she still get an upset stomach?

The places where Lai Qianduo took them to eat might not have been particularly clean...

She needed to deliver the items to Wu Ling as soon as possible, and then go back and sort things out.

Actually, it wasn't that she absolutely had to go in person, but everyone else delivered it personally. Wu Ling had been with her for so long, and treated her even better than her mother.

It would be a bit unreasonable not to come in person.

So she quickened her pace.

Hearing the cheerful noise outside, Wu Ling felt somewhat agitated.

He knew he shouldn't have such filthy thoughts, but he just couldn't help himself.

He never believed he could be so upset about relationships.

But now, his mind is filled with thoughts of that person in his heart.

Even at night, I dream about that person.

Sometimes I dream that the person has fallen in love with another man, and I can only watch from afar, keeping all my feelings hidden in my heart. Although I wish I could keep that person by my side forever, I am afraid of seeing the person's disgusted eyes.

Sometimes she would dream that she died in front of that person, and she would be very sad. When she woke up, she would even think that it would be better if she just died, so that she would only leave a mark in her heart. But then she would think that she had practiced martial arts for many years and so many masters had taught her so much. No one had ever taught her anything. If she couldn't get what she wanted, she would die.

Sometimes he would dream of the time in the Cave of Ten Thousand Insects, where she saved him, and her thin clothes were eaten to shreds by the insects. The two of them would embrace in the bathtub, and every time this happened, he would feel something indescribable down there.

This made him even hate himself for being like this.

He didn't understand why things had turned out this way.

But all I could do was keep my thoughts to myself and silently stay by her side, afraid that I wouldn't even have the chance to be there for her again.

Upon arriving there, he picked up his sword and began practicing in the open courtyard. After practicing for a while, he felt his whole body getting warm. He took off his shirt, then chose another sword and began to refine his swordsmanship.

Only when you are strong enough can you protect the people you love.

Only then can one be qualified to stay by the side of one's beloved. If he neglects his martial arts because of these romantic relationships, then he has no face to stay by the side of such an outstanding person.

While he was diligently practicing his swordplay, Lin Ru appeared at the courtyard gate without his noticing.

I just watched quietly as a handsome and masculine young man practiced his sword.

In fact, Lin Ru has always admired the Wu clan, and among them, she admires Wu Ling the most!

Although he wasn't the oldest among them, his martial arts skills were the highest. He had cultivated his skills step by step through hard work, unlike her, who had the help of a system to cheat in both internal energy and martial arts, which allowed her to reach her current level.

Even if she had the system's help to cheat, she believed that she would definitely not be able to beat Wu Ling in a one-on-one fight.

Moreover, Wu Ling is also very intelligent.

Although he has not yet been officially appointed as an official, many soldiers privately refer to him as General Wu.

If he hadn't followed me, Wu Ling's achievements would definitely have far surpassed those of the male protagonist.

Moreover, Wu Ling's face is indeed very handsome, with distinct features and a handsome and resolute appearance.

He usually has a cold face, and his whole person is like ice on a high mountain, making people keep their distance.

But in front of her, he is not like a shy puppy; his face is always red, and his eyes are always sparkling.

When he smiles, his eyes crinkle, making him seem easy to bully.

This contrasts sharply with his tall and upright figure.

What's most amazing is her figure; she looks slim in clothes but has a muscular physique when undressed.

Looking at Wu Ling's bare upper body, Lin Ru suddenly felt that all the young male celebrities she had seen in her previous life were utterly pathetic.

Those broad shoulders and narrow waist, those eight-pack abs, those long legs!

It's simply the best thing ever.

It's a pity that such a perfect woman isn't hers.

Suddenly, I felt a pain in my lower abdomen.

Her thoughts of admiring handsome men were pulled back, and she was stunned by her own thought. She didn't know what was wrong with her today.

What's wrong with me these past couple of days? I've been feeling rather sentimental.

I've never seen Wu Ling like this before, so why am I sighing about it today?

She felt like she was going to drool if she kept looking!

But why does my stomach hurt so much?

I'm also inexplicably feeling a bit annoyed.

She regretted coming today; she should have just let Wu Fei deliver the things.

However, since we're already here...

I should hurry up and send the things out so I can go back and take care of my physiological needs.

So she coughed softly twice.

Wu Ling, who had been lost in his own world, finally snapped out of it.

When they looked toward the source of the sound, they were completely stunned.

He wondered if he was dreaming.

He had been thinking about this person all along, and now this person had actually come to his side?

Moreover, he believed that he and she had reached a consensus to minimize contact, otherwise he would not be able to control his overwhelming love.

Could it be that this idea is just wishful thinking on my part?

Lin Ru looked at Wu Ling with a complicated expression, like a stray puppy looking for its owner.

This made Lin Ru feel a little embarrassed.

"that……"

"It's so cold outside, why don't you put on some clothes?"

Wu Ling then realized that it really wasn't a dream; His Majesty had actually come to find him in person.

And he was actually shirtless.

To appear before His Majesty in such disheveled state is utterly shameful!
