The surroundings were completely silent, save for the mingled sounds of their disordered breathing. An ambiguous yet tense atmosphere filled the air, making it difficult to breathe.
Just then, the ring on Qin Luo's finger suddenly emitted a faint blue light. The restriction on the ring was forcibly removed from the inside. Before he could recover from his astonishment, a black mist wrapped in a faint light flashed out from the ring.
You Yueying's graceful figure appeared and disappeared in the black mist. As soon as she appeared, before she could blame Qin Luo for activating the restriction again, she keenly sensed the strange atmosphere around her.
The cold gaze swept instantly over the two people who were tightly embracing. Her beautiful eyes widened instantly, and a look of surprise flashed across her face. Then, as if she had been burned by something, she trembled violently, and the entire cloud of black mist instantly surged back into the ring.
Almost simultaneously, a crisp, coquettish spitting sound clearly exploded in Qin Luo's mind:
"Pooh!"
The voice lingered, revealing an undisguised sense of embarrassment and disgust.
The explosion in his mind made Qin Luo freeze, his body stiffening, and he stood rooted to the spot. Noticing his unusual behavior, Dongfang Jinyao looked up at Qin Luo with shy eyes and asked weakly, "What's wrong? Is it because of me...?"
Qin Luo quickly regained his composure and said gently, "It's nothing, I just feel a little sorry for you."
After a long silence, Dongfang Jinyao's extremely shy voice finally broke through the stillness: "No... I'm not wronged."
Inside the ring, You Yueying was furious, her once beautiful face contorted with rage. She had initially thought Qin Luo had opened the barrier for some important reason, but it turned out to be something truly "important"—albeit something so absurd that it shattered her worldview!
"I wonder which powerful family raised this young lady to be so shameless, doing such indecent things. Judging from her appearance, she must have studied these matters between men and women quite a bit!"
You Yueying became more and more agitated as she spoke, her voice unconsciously rising a few decibels, "Doesn't she even consider her own status, committing such a disgraceful act? Aren't she afraid of tarnishing her family's reputation? I really don't understand how her elders raised her?"
At this point, she hovered angrily over the small area where the ring was, "That boy too, how could he be so infatuated with a woman like that, losing all sense of propriety? A grown man, yet so unrestrained in such matters, he truly disappoints me!"
After a long while, seemingly exhausted from scolding, You Yueying finally calmed down. Unconsciously, she recalled that when she went out earlier, the boy's cultivation seemed a bit off.
After hesitating for a while, she decided to send out a wisp of her senses to investigate. You Yueying closed her eyes slightly, focused her mind, and carefully sent out an extremely subtle wisp of her divine soul perception from the ring, like an invisible thread, silently extending towards Qin Luo's direction.
The moment this sense touched Qin Luo, You Yueying's eyes widened in disbelief.
"This, this is impossible!"
She could clearly sense that Qin Luo's cultivation had reached the peak of the Divine Travel Realm!
That restrained aura was like a deep ocean, calm on the surface but containing boundless pressure. Moreover, his aura fluctuations were stable and natural, clearly not the superficial state of someone who had just broken through, but rather someone who had already gained considerable control over this realm.
"He broke through two minor realms in just one month!"
You Yueying murmured to herself, the shock in her heart difficult to calm down for a while.
......
Inside the ruins, night fell, and the inky black curtain of darkness spread across the sky, plunging the ancient site into complete darkness.
On the edge of the cliff, Dongfang Jinyao leaned on Qin Luo's shoulder, her face still showing the lingering shyness from not long ago, but at this moment her eyes revealed more of a sweetness and happiness.
Looking at the man beside her, her eyes shimmered with deep affection.
"Qin Luo, do you think we'll always be like this?" Dongfang Jinyao's voice suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of expectation.
Qin Luo turned his head to look at Dongfang Jinyao on his shoulder and said gently, "Yes, I will always be by your side."
Upon hearing this, the tenderness in Dongfang Jinyao's eyes grew even more alluring, transforming into a pool of spring water, rippling with endless love.
But the next moment, something suddenly occurred to her, triggering a sensitive thought within her. She poked Qin Luo's waist with her finger, pouted, and asked with a hint of reproach:
"Do you already have a partner? In the stories I've read, those men who are good at sweet talk are often like this. At first, they are very affectionate towards women, but in the end, it is discovered that they have other secrets."
Qin Luo was taken aback, his expression becoming complicated. After a long silence, his gaze fell on Dongfang Jinyao's bright eyes, in which he could clearly see his own reflection.
He then sighed, his voice low and somber: "Yes."
However, to Qin Luo's surprise, after she said it, there was no intense crying or unreasonable tantrum as she had imagined.
Dongfang Jinyao just bit her lower lip, poked his waist again with her finger, and muttered in a low voice, "I knew it..."
Seeing this reaction, Qin Luo looked at her with some unease; it seemed to be different from what he had expected.
Just then, Dongfang Jinyao suddenly burst out laughing, her smile bright and captivating.
She blinked her bright eyes playfully and said with a hint of reproach, "What, do you really think I'd act like a shrew and be unreasonable? I've always known you and Father are cut from the same cloth, both womanizers!"
Hearing Dongfang Jinyao's words, Qin Luo felt increasingly guilty and somewhat confused, so he tentatively asked:
So, you're not jealous?
Dongfang Jinyao frowned slightly and glared at Qin Luo, feigning anger. "Who said I'm not jealous? It's just that being jealous is useless. If I say I want you to only like me, can you actually do it? Instead of crying and making a scene, I'd rather believe that you can handle the past yourself. Besides, if I keep dwelling on it, wouldn't I seem petty?"
At this moment, Qin Luo was in tears. One reason was Dongfang Jinyao's inexplicable magnanimity, and the other was that the system was finally reliable and no longer required him to be bound to those extreme women. If everyone were like this girl, his life would be much better.
Just as Qin Luo reached out to pull her into his arms, Dongfang Jinyao slipped in first, nestling tightly in his embrace like a docile kitten.
She tilted her head back, her bright eyes sparkling with a playful light. "What, are you moved by my understanding and reasonableness?"
