Chapter 72, Scene 14 - Lao Yongyi (Second Update)...

The system rubbed its eyes and saw that its host had finished bathing, changed clothes, and was sitting on a wooden chair, dressing up in front of a bronze mirror.

If it were in the past, it would definitely transform into a cat ball, fly around a few times, and then rub its little head against his chest affectionately.

If Chaochao allows, it can also stand on his shoulders and rub his face gently.

But now, in the eyes of Nguyen Dynasty, it is a master, a great senior. It has to maintain the airs of a master, and naturally cannot get too close to Nguyen Dynasty.

Thinking of this, the system sighed sadly in its heart.

The more it thought about it, the angrier it got.

Finally, I couldn't help but send another indignant complaint letter to the main system, and asked them to fix the bug as soon as possible and return Chao Chao's memory!

As expected, he's still pretending to be dead.

Just deal with it with an automated reply.

[Dear, we have received your request and are processing it as quickly as possible. Please wait patiently.]

The system sent several angry emoticons to express its dissatisfaction, and then angrily closed the communication interface.

At this time, Ruan Chao was holding two beautiful jade hairpins and comparing them in front of the mirror. He was in a dilemma and didn't know which one to choose, so he could only leave this problem to the system.

[Senior System Master, which of these two hairpins do you think is better looking? ]

The system analyzed from many aspects, including workmanship, color, quality, and sophistication, and finally came to an indisputable conclusion.

【The one on the right looks better. 】

Ruan Chao: [Then I will wear the one on the right.]

He skillfully tied his waist-length hair into a loose bun and then secured it with a jade hairpin.

Two strands of hair fall naturally at the temples to modify the face shape.

Makes his face look more delicate and petite.

Ruan Chao hesitated for a moment, but finally took out a dressing box from his storage ring.

He didn't recognize most of the cosmetics in it.

He curiously picked up a small flat box, which contained some fine and smooth powder.

He smelled it and found it quite fragrant.

Nguyen Chao guessed that this should be applied on the face.

Just as he was about to try it, a gust of wind blew in from the window.

The powder flew in the wind and floated in the air. Ruan Chao was caught off guard and inhaled some of it, which made him cough repeatedly.

He coughed so hard that tears were about to come out, and he threw the rouge far away.

What the hell is this? It’s so annoying.

He no longer dared to touch objects he didn't recognize.

Nguyen Chao scanned the dressing table one by one, and finally saw the only thing he recognized in the corner.

Lip balm.

It is said that applying it on the mouth can make the color of the mouth better looking and more attractive.

He tried the move carefully.

At the beginning, because I was not skilled enough, I accidentally applied it in the wrong direction, leaving bright red marks all around my mouth.

The lip balm had a pleasant scent, like floral and fruity. He stuck out his tongue and licked it.

It’s actually sweet!

He couldn't help but lick it again.

It’s really sweet.

Like honey.

He licked all the lip balm off her lips.

The Nguyen Dynasty had no choice but to repaint it.

After trying hard for several times, he finally learned how to apply lip balm, making his soft lips shiny and moist, as if they were stained with bright flower juice.

He looked in the mirror and found no difference from before.

Except that the color of the mouth became a little redder.

Ruan Chao felt like licking it again.

He tried hard to suppress the impulse.

There is still a quarter of an hour left before the agreed time.

Ruan Chao adjusted her dress to make the hem look more flowing.

He was wearing a moon-white waist-length dress, which showed off his slender waist, which was not even wide enough to be held in one hand...

only……

Um……

Ruan Chao lowered his head and looked at his chest.

There are basically no ups and downs.

If he were younger, he could still find an excuse.

But now... Ruan Chao wondered whether he should stuff two apples in it to pretend it was fake.

Forget it.

If the apple accidentally fell out, the scene would be very embarrassing.

Chu Xinglan didn't care about these things anyway. Even if he noticed something unusual, he would definitely not dare to ask him directly because of this guy's self-disciplined and polite appearance.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly.

The young man's cold voice rang out outside the door on time, not a minute more, not a second less.

"Chao Chao, are you done washing?"

"It's ready." Ruan Chao answered while going over to open the door for him, "You can come in."

There was a strong aroma floating in the room.

Some of them are too sweet.

Chu Xinglan lowered his head and walked into the room without looking around.

He only glanced at Ruan Chao when he entered the room, and happened to catch a glimpse of the wet ends of his hair. The boy looked as if his hair was permed and quickly looked away.

The Nguyen Dynasty was unhappy.

He spent a long time in front of the mirror, dressing up, just to make himself more beautiful.

But Chu Xinglan would rather stare at the dark floor than look at him any more.

This made him feel that all his previous efforts were in vain.

Isn't he as attractive as a broken floor?

Ruan Chao stretched out his tone and asked with some dissatisfaction: "Brother, why don't you raise your head and look at me?"

"Don't I look good?"

Chu Xinglan was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at him, and whispered: "...It looks good."

“Of course it looks good.”

After receiving a satisfactory answer, the Nguyen Dynasty was finally happy.

He curled his eyes and said in a sweet voice: "Brother is also good-looking."

Ruan Chao recalled the cultivation method and planned to try the first move by holding hands with Chu Xinglan.

He approached the boy step by step, grabbed his hand at his side, and inserted his slender white knuckles between his fingers, forming an intimate gesture of interlocking their fingers.

He recited the formula silently.

Sure enough, I felt a surge of extremely refined and pure spiritual energy suddenly surge into my blood.

That strange and inexplicable feeling made his body tremble slightly, and a pleasant moan escaped from his lips and teeth.

"...Chao Chao?" It's not like they haven't held hands before, but it was rarely this intimate with their palms close together and their fingertips intertwined. Chu Xinglan's movements were slightly stiff, but in the end, she still followed her heart and held his hand back.

"you……"

Ruan Chao interrupted him: "Don't talk yet."

Nguyen Chao could feel that his cultivation was improving steadily.

The spiritual energy that can be mobilized between the dantian is also increasing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

They held each other like this for almost an incense stick of time.

The growth rate of spiritual power gradually slowed down.

If we say that he originally only had the cultivation base of the Foundation Establishment Stage, his strength was not even as good as that of a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage.

Now, his strength can finally match his cultivation.

Ruan Chao was very excited, and his light-colored eyes seemed to be filled with shattered stars, sparkling brightly.

He never expected that just shaking hands with Chu Xinglan would bring him such great benefits.

If the two of them were closer...would it shock him even more?

The temperature between his palms kept rising. I don’t know who was sweating, but his fingers were sticky. However, Ruan Chao was reluctant to let go.

He raised his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him.

Her eyes fixed on his lips.

It is a very healthy pink color, and the lip shape is also very beautiful, but it is a little thin, revealing a kind of inhuman coldness.

Ruan Chao put his arms around Chu Xinglan's neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him.

This time the kiss went off track and only touched the jaw.

But the surge of spiritual power suddenly accelerated in an instant.

If the speed of spiritual power surge when holding hands is ten, then the speed of spiritual power surge when kissing is one thousand, which is a hundred times increase.

The soft touch was like a dream that was within reach, but it was gone in an instant.

Chu Xinglan's pupils suddenly shrank, and she was stunned on the spot by Ruan Chao's kiss.

The boy had a very thin skin, and soon his face was covered with a beautiful blush.

He blinked his long eyelashes and looked at Ruan Chao blankly, as if he hadn't figured out what was going on.

Ruan Chao was a little shy at first, but when he saw his innocent expression, he immediately forgot all his shyness.

They just...just kissed, and didn't do anything else weird, so there's nothing to be shy about.

And he didn't just kiss for the sake of kissing, but for very legitimate reasons!

If it wasn't for improving his cultivation, he wouldn't do this.

It’s all for cultivation, it’s all for cultivation… He repeated it silently in his heart twice.

Chu Xinglan was also silently reciting something in his heart.

But what he was reading was the Tao Te Ching.

He tried hard to suppress his restless emotions, lowered his eyes to look at Ruan Chao in his arms, opened his lips, and asked calmly: "Why did you kiss me?"

"I kiss you if I want to. Do I need a reason?" Ruan Chao said arrogantly and boldly. He tried to stand on tiptoe while hooking Chu Xinglan's neck and pressing down hard. He softened his voice and said, "Lower your head. I want to kiss you again."

Chu Xinglan only recited one sentence: "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name..." and he could no longer remember the words that followed.

He stretched out his hand with difficulty, blocking Ruan's red lips that were moving towards him, and said in a hoarse voice.

"You can't do that."

"We are just an engaged couple and have not officially married yet. We must remember the distinction between men and women and must not do anything that is not in line with etiquette."

Why does this sound so familiar...? Ruan Chao frowned slightly. Wasn't this what he said to Chu Xinglan before taking a shower?

He actually used what he said to shut him up.

That’s too much!

Ruan Chao opened his mouth and bit Chu Xinglan's palm hard.

So…hard.

He almost broke his teeth and accidentally bit his tongue.

Tears instantly filled his eyes, and Ruan Chao's eyes suddenly became tearful.

He forgot that the monks' spiritual power would automatically protect their bodies. Even sharp weapons could not damage their skin, let alone their teeth.

Hearing Ruan Chao's cry of pain, Chu Xinglan's expression also became flustered.

"Let me see, is it damaged?"

Ruan Chao carefully extended his soft tongue to let him see the wound on the tip of his tongue, and said aggrievedly.

"Is it bleeding? It hurts."

There was a small tooth mark on the red tip of her tongue, and bright-colored blood was slowly seeping out from it...

Chu Xinglan's eyes darkened a little.

After a long while, he finally hummed.

“…It was bleeding.”

"Is it bleeding a lot?"

"It's not bad."

"It's all your fault." Ruan Chao habitually put all the blame on Chu Xinglan. "If you hadn't let me kiss you, I wouldn't have been hurt."

Chu Xinglan: “…I’m sorry.”

Nguyen Chao made a request at the right time: "Then let me kiss you again, and I will forgive you out of mercy."
