Looking at the face so close to his eyes, at the woman he once wouldn't even dare to scold, Jiang Yuan was filled with turmoil.
"Stop playing the victim!" Jiang Yuan rudely pushed Ning Yanlan away and said disdainfully, "I'm already tired of your body!"
Ning Yanlan's lips turned pale, and she remained silent, waiting for Jiang Yuan to speak.
"I'm warning you, I can't control my inner demons anymore. You'd better pray you don't become too disliked, otherwise, it's one thing to humiliate you, but if I kill you, you're really in for it!" Jiang Yuan raised the gun in his hand, and the tip of the gun just grazed Ning Yanlan's face, knocking off her hat. The cold touch made Ning Yanlan tremble involuntarily.
"Also, don't keep that long face next time. Even if you cry and beg me, I'll be more aroused. That way, you'll satisfy my needs, and I can satisfy yours too!"
Jiang Yuan patted Ning Yanlan's face with the God-Slaying Spear, then turned and walked towards the city gate.
"Boss, where are you going?" The little dumpling was about to catch up.
"Take good care of Sister Zhaodi, I'll be back in a bit!" Jiang Yuan waved to the two of them with his back to them and left without looking back.
Seeing this, Ning Yanlan put her white robe hat back on and followed closely behind.
"Why did you bring me here?" Ning Yanlan finally stopped at the foot of a mountain. She looked at the small mountain in front of her with a slight change in her expression, which was obviously aroused some memories in her heart.
“Refining the Spirit Recovery Pill requires several medicinal herbs. I have extracted most of the spiritual herb seeds in the core, but I am still missing one: the Golden Winged Bamboo Flower! I sensed a Golden Winged Bamboo Forest here, so I came to take a look!” Jiang Yuan spoke calmly, but his heart was anything but calm.
The Golden Wing Bamboo is located on Nan Gui Mountain, a place where the two of them have many memories! And the Golden Wing Bamboo is the bamboo forest where the little dumpling stayed. Even Jiang Yuan did not expect that the two of them would end up here after wandering around!
“Nan Guishan!” Ning Yanlan slowly uttered three words.
"Don't overthink it. I brought you here just because of the Rejuvenation Pill! The previous Great Rejuvenation Pill wasn't high enough and couldn't keep up with my recovery speed. The Rejuvenation Pill is a spirit-grade pill, which is exactly what I need! Plus, I wasn't sure if this Golden Wing Bamboo Forest had bloomed yet. I'll help you kill people, and you help me force the Golden Wing Bamboo to bloom!" Jiang Yuan explained.
"Come up and sit for a while!"
Ning Yanlan looked up at the Nan Guishan Pagoda. What seemed quite tall to them back then was now just flat ground to them.
"No way, I'd feel disgusted sitting anywhere with a woman like you!" Jiang Yuan didn't want Ning Yanlan to ruin the few memories they had together.
Whoosh! In an instant, ninety-nine golden longswords appeared, and Ning Yanlan activated Yin Yang Judgment, staring coldly at Jiang Yuan.
"What, finally can't take it anymore?" Jiang Yuan sneered, unmoved.
“In the past, I would have killed you without hesitation!”
After angrily finishing her statement, Ning Yanlan flicked her hand, causing all the Judgment Swords to dissipate, and then walked alone towards the Nan Guishan Tower.
Watching Ning Yanlan walk further and further away, Jiang Yuan sneered, "I'd like to see when you'll reveal your true colors!"
Ning Yanlan walked in front, and Jiang Yuan followed behind. The two of them walked up the stairs one step at a time towards the top floor of the Nan Guishan Pagoda.
The Nan Guishan Pagoda, which had been deserted for over a month, was covered in dust, but that did not stop the two from revisiting the place.
Upon reaching the top floor, the fist mark left by Jiang Yuan was still clearly visible, as were the traces left by the two people eating barbecue.
Jiang Yuan glanced around disdainfully, then said casually, "You're such a good actor. You just want me to risk my life for you! There's no need to try and gain my sympathy!"
Ning Yanlan pretended not to hear Jiang Yuan's words, and slowly walked outside to look at the top of the tower. The next second, she held onto the railing and slowly stood up.
"Watch out!" Jiang Yuan instinctively reached out to help her when he saw this, but he immediately realized what was happening when his hand touched Ning Yanlan's waist, and added curtly, "Don't fall and die, I don't want to collect your corpse!"
"Take me up!" Ning Yanlan leaned against the railing and grabbed Jiang Yuan's sleeve.
"I don't have time to play along with your act!" Jiang Yuan indifferently shook off Ning Yanlan's hand. Unexpectedly, this action broke Ning Yanlan's balance. Ning Yanlan, who was trying to climb the railing to the top of the tower, tilted her body and fell outwards!
"Depend on!"
Jiang Yuan cursed under his breath, then effortlessly grabbed Ning Yanlan by the waist. He said impatiently, "Fine, I'll play along. Are you satisfied now?"
As he spoke, Jiang Yuan led the person to the top of the tower, to the same spot as before, but now there was no sunrise, nor the first wisp of purple aura rising from the east.
"Ha!" Ning Yanlan couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Jiang Yuan looking anxious and helpless.
"What exactly do you want? You were the one who told me to go kill spirit beasts, and now you're making me waste my time here. Are you out of your mind?" Jiang Yuan rebuked him mercilessly.
Ning Yanlan didn't explain. She stood on the roof and shakily swept away the dust, then quietly lay down in Jiang Yuan's arms.
This move left Jiang Yuan completely baffled. He said speechlessly, "Stop acting. I'll just pretend that you have deep feelings for me, and I'll accept my fate as the soul of the battlefield."
Ning Yanlan suddenly pulled Jiang Yuan into a deep kiss. This was the only gentle kiss the two had shared since their falling out, because Jiang Yuan either forced kisses on her regardless of time or place, or bit her until her mouth was full of blood, making it almost never a pleasant experience for her.
Jiang Yuan stood there, stunned. In that instant, he seemed to see the Ning Yanlan of the past, the Ning Yanlan who would only silently support him and was gentle and kind.
At this moment, he didn't care whether Ning Yanlan was acting or not. He reached out and hugged Ning Yanlan tightly, enjoying the tenderness they hadn't felt in a long time.
