With fewer people, resources can be more concentrated, greatly increasing the chances of a breakthrough.

Lu Yunyu was completely taken aback by the hype.

After all, Shen Yuqing really didn't want them to excel. Smart people should have realized this long ago: once their master passed away, they should all go their separate ways and find their own futures.

Instead of believing Lou Yu's empty promise.

"What did I say back then?" Lou Yu retorted.

"You!" Lu Yunyu was so angry she almost cried.

Lou Yu is shameless! If he just goes down the mountain like this, wouldn't he have wasted five years of his life?

Gritting his teeth, he said, "I'm not leaving! We'll definitely pick all the autumn fruits this year! And the front yard too! Don't even think about making us sweep the fallen leaves again!"

His threats had no effect on Lou Yu.

Lu Yunyu was furious. He originally wanted to go into the bamboo house to find his master, but Lou Yu had set up a barrier around the area, and the barrier was electrified. Helpless, he could only leave by flying boat.

That's what they said, but Lou Yu didn't force them to leave.

He just didn't want them to come to the back mountain and disturb him and his master.

Nan Yu lay on the couch, feeling emo for a while, and then fell asleep again shortly after waking up. Lou Yu appeared, staring at his master's adorable sleeping face. His sharp eyes softened considerably, and he gently stroked his fair cheek with the back of his fingers, thinking: He's finally awake.

Lou Yu's body, which wasn't covered by clothing, was too cold.

Even just a tiny patch of skin brushing against her face sent a shiver down Nan Yu's spine, prompting Lou Yu to quickly withdraw his hand.

The little lamp wick smacked its lips, turned over, and went back to sleep.

She murmured sweetly, "Give me a kiss on the head~"

His hand was clenched in the air, as if trying to grasp something. Lou Yu subconsciously extended his hand in front of him, and the lamp wick felt a chill and let go.

He continued talking in his sleep: "Kiss, it feels so good."

Lou Yu is now immune to all poisons and nothing can stir his emotions. But a kiss from Xiao Dengxin in his dream made his ears turn red again after five years, and his calm heart was rippled.

Where are you?

"Kiss, head." The wick began to murmur in its sleep again.

Lou Yu hesitated, but finally leaned forward and gently rubbed his forehead against his master's.

Little Lampwick seemed to thoroughly enjoy the feeling of being gently brushed by a feather. When Lou Yu left, he was still unwilling, insisting on kissing her repeatedly.

Lou Yu could only gently kiss him on the forehead.

He was very gentle when Nan Yu was unconscious.

Nan Yu woke up, her face as cold as an Antarctic iceberg.

After being kissed, Little Lampwick's eyebrows and eyes relaxed in comfort.

He made a satisfied gurgling sound.

Lou Yu stopped what he was doing, and as if sensing it, Deng Xin immediately hugged him, muttering, "Kiss, kiss again."

This time, he wasn't satisfied with just kissing her forehead; instead, he went straight for Xiao Dengxin's lips and kissed her.

I don't want to kiss your forehead anymore, so I'll kiss the little lamp wick's mouth instead.

This action startled Nan Yu, but due to the influence of the Gu worm, she wanted to resist, and her hands would involuntarily wrap around the man's neck.

After they separated.

Lou Yu stared intently at his master's lips.

The pale white, yet the corners of her eyes were an unbelievably beautiful snow-white, possessing both a dewy, translucent quality and a sickly, fragile feel, stimulating the senses and the eyes.

Lou Yu's heart pounded violently, and even her breathing became rapid and heavy.

He held it in his mouth again, his cool lips gently rubbing against it, and Nan Yu shivered from the coldness of his breath.

I wanted to push him away.

But soon his consciousness was led away by Lou Yu.

He was unaware of his physical condition, but Lou Yu had a rough idea.

It must be the Gu worms that are at work.

Moreover, the Mother-Child Gu is also called the Love Gu. The Mother Gu is inside Lou Yu's body, and the Child Gu is inside him.

...

...

One week, or a mini-seven days.

[Affection +15%, Total: 60%]

Just as he regained consciousness, Deng Xin fainted again.

I was terrified.

Why is my affection level increasing so fast?

It's even more intense than his initial act of deliberately causing trouble and turning evil.

Lou Yu removed all the chains from the bed, since his master's dantian had been sealed, preventing him from casting spells.

There is a barrier set up on the back mountain, which prevents outsiders from entering and even the master from leaving.

In this way, Lou Yu no longer needs to worry about his master escaping.

Since the dantian is sealed, the Bigu technique becomes ineffective.

Having not eaten for several days, Nan Yu's stomach was growling loudly, like a small drum being pounded. Lou Yu went out to cook for him, killed a pheasant, and stewed it into soup. By the time Nan Yu drank the soup, more than half an hour had passed.

The energy has passed, and the lamp wick is now emo.

Seeing that bowl of fresh and tender chicken soup.

never mind.

Let's drink our fill before we think about anything else.

Lou Yu fed him a bowl, removing the bones from the chicken and feeding him little by little. After three bowls, Deng Xin let out a burp. Lou Yu put the bowl aside, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and carefully wiped Deng Xin's lips.

Nan Yu stared at him.

Lou Yu caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye and slightly raised her eyes.

A wild beast seemed to lurk deep within his pupils, and the overwhelming sense of aggression made Deng Xin's heart skip a beat, causing him to instinctively lower his head to avoid eye contact.

Lou Yu didn't give him a chance, wrapping his arms around his waist to prevent him from retreating, and then rubbing his lips against those pale ones again.

Her lips moved down to her neck, the cold mask digging into the lamp wick.

Feeling uncomfortable, I turn my head to the left.

Lou Yu, however, thought he was avoiding him, and kissed him even more fiercely, his breathing becoming heavier. Nan Yu could even hear the sound of his bones shifting in anger; his voice was deep and furious.

"Avoiding me? Shen Yuqing! Who forced me in the first place? How come you're the one avoiding me now?"

[Affection +10%, Total: 70%]

Lamp wick: "..."

Can getting angry increase your love?

This thing doesn't need any strategy guide at all. Nan Yu had only been awake for a short time when his health increased so much on his own, it scared him.

Things that are too easily obtained always have some strange element to them.

"Your mask is digging into my skin..."

Lou Yu: "..."

Silence fell for a moment. Nan Yu, beneath him, could clearly feel the other's body relax. After an unknown amount of time, Lou Yu moved first, removing the mask from his face and continuing to kiss the lamp wick.

He then asked, "Do you hate me?"

The lamp wick pouted: "Why do you like me? I bullied you so much back then, are you a masochist? You like the person who abused you?"

Lou Yu buried his face in Xiao Dengxin's neck and let out a low laugh from his chest: "The one I've never liked is Shizun."

One second I didn't understand, and I didn't care.

The next second I heard, "What I've always loved is not my master."

She should have breathed a sigh of relief and been glad that Lou Yu didn't like her, but her heart felt like it was blocked by cotton, and she couldn't breathe properly, feeling suffocated.

Even the other person's laughter sounded like mockery and sarcasm to him.

My nose tingled with emotion.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and didn't want to say a word. He closed his eyes, and tears uncontrollably rolled down his cheeks and into his hair.

"I don't like Shen Yuqing, Master."

Nan Yu didn't want to listen anymore. If she didn't like it, she didn't like it! Why repeat it so many times!

Damn it! I was worried he'd fallen off a cliff and died, and I didn't even bother looking for the God Fragment, all I could think about was coming back to find him!

Lou Yu deliberately leaned close to Xiao Dengxin's ear and continued, "I don't like Master."
