"The Shang Dynasty's Lost Continent?"
After listening to Su Yaoyue's account, Qin Luo raised an eyebrow, and various information about this continent immediately surfaced in his mind. No wonder Senior Yuanyu suggested that he come and ask Su Yaoyue.
As one of the thirty-six supercontinents, the Shangyi Continent is renowned throughout the world. With its auction industry as its mainstay, it is a gathering place and trading paradise for merchants from all over the world.
There, as long as you have enough primordial elixir or rare treasures, you can find all the rare treasures and cultivation manuals that ordinary people want, and you can even auction off guards and servants at the saint level.
Moreover, Qin Luo clearly did not expect that Su Yaoyue would be a member of the Su family, one of the three major families of the Shangyi Continent.
To be a dominant force on a supercontinent, one must possess the foundation to awe all sides.
The fact that they can firmly hold their position as one of the three top families in the Shangyi Continent is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.
At least one powerful supreme expert is needed to keep the family from falling and resist the covetous eyes of all sides.
Thinking of this, he unconsciously tightened his arms around Su Yaoyue, and sighed inwardly that if he really went to the Shangyi Continent, he would be in danger at every step.
Feeling Qin Luo's arm tighten suddenly, Su Yaoyue looked up and saw deep thoughts churning in his eyes. She reached out to smooth his furrowed brows and asked softly:
"Is it because of my background that I've become a burden to you?"
"Don't worry, at worst I'll secretly contact my old subordinates when we get back to the Shangyi Continent. We just need to spread the word that we'll buy up what you need, and once we've gathered it, we'll return immediately."
At this point, she suddenly sat up and snuggled closer to Qin Luo, a hint of resentment mixed with relief in her eyes as she comforted him:
"After Mother passed away, you became my only refuge in this world. If these old stories trouble you, I... um? Please let me finish."
Before she could finish speaking, Su Yaoyue's face suddenly flushed red as she felt Qin Luo's hand, which should have been on her waist, suddenly rise.
She nestled softly into his arms, about to scold him, but was pulled forward by the waist, her nose bumping against his firm chest. Qin Luo chuckled and rubbed his chin against the top of her head, teasingly saying:
"What nonsense are you thinking? How could I possibly dislike your past?"
"The Shangyi Continent? Since that's where you came from, we should go and have a look. The sooner I gather what I need, the sooner I'll feel at ease. The sooner I gather what I need, the better. Starting today, we'll pack our bags and set off. But before that, I must tell Liyue: 'Don't worry, I'll take care of everything.'"
After saying that, Qin Luo reluctantly moved his mischievous hand away and reached out to stroke her burning cheek:
"Don't worry, I will avenge you for all those past troubles. With me here, even if the sky falls and the earth collapses, it won't shatter your peace."
Upon hearing this, Su Yaoyue's already rippling eyes turned into a pool of spring water, like honey-covered vines that wrapped around her layer by layer.
She collapsed completely into Qin Luo's arms, her eyelashes trembling and drooping, her cheek pressed against his heart, listening to his strong heartbeat, which seemed like the most reassuring drumbeat in the world.
At this moment, she didn't want to think about the undercurrents of the Shangyi Continent, nor did she want to recall the painful past of the Su family. Qin Luo's aura enveloped her, and the strength of his arm made her truly feel the weight of being cherished.
This was the first time she had felt so at ease since her mother's passing. There was no need for defense or calculation, no need to force herself to be strong; she could simply entrust herself to him without reservation.
Unconsciously, her fingertips clutched his collar. Su Yaoyue closed her eyes, letting a lingering weariness and a heart full of tenderness wash over her. In this small world, she willingly indulged in this long-lost peace.
"Okay, Yaoyue will do whatever you say~"
Her voice was soft and melodious, with a hint of sweetness.
The two stayed close together for a long time until Qin Luo noticed it was almost noon and coughed awkwardly. Su Yaoyue slowly lifted her head from his embrace, her increasingly moist eyes still filled with lingering tenderness.
"If we continue to linger like this, our journey will be delayed even more."
Qin Luo's fingertips brushed against her burning nose, his tone filled with helpless indulgence. Su Yaoyue pursed her lips and responded, but still lingered in his arms, refusing to move, until he gently pinched her waist again, at which point she blushed and got up with a reproachful expression.
Su Yaoyue stepped barefoot onto the cold ground, lifted the gauze curtain, and walked out. Her thin nightgown outlined her breathtaking curves.
After fetching Qin Luo's clothes, Su Yaoyue lowered her eyes and focused intently on tidying his collar, her heart trembling as her fingertips brushed against the buttons. From childhood to adulthood, she had never done anything like serving someone, yet at this moment it felt incredibly natural, and she was willing to do it for him.
Qin Luo gazed at her lowered eyes and suddenly reached out to touch her beautiful profile, causing Su Yaoyue to tremble and almost slip the ribbon in her hand.
"I've never seen you so gentle, Yaoyue. It makes me reluctant to step out of this door."
"You're making it sound like I wasn't gentle before!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yaoyue scolded her again. Looking at Qin Luo's ill-intentioned gaze, although the two had already consummated their relationship, her feminine reserve still made her unable to maintain her composure. She quickly used her hands to gather the plain clothes in front of her.
After finally getting Qin Luo dressed, Su Yaoyue quickly saw him to the door. The morning light gilded his figure, making him appear even more upright.
She stood on the threshold, her fingertips unconsciously twisting the hem of her skirt. Her full breasts rose and fell slightly with her breath, stretching the fabric into a breathtaking arc. The slanting sunlight accentuated her curves, making them appear even more undulating, like spring water overflowing its banks.
"Why are you staring at it like that? It's not like you haven't seen it before..."
Su Yaoyue gently scolded, a blush spreading from the tips of her ears to her neck, but she couldn't help but tiptoe forward, the scenery in front of her trembling slightly with the movement.
The last syllable of her voice was sweet and soft, and when her eyelashes drooped, she hid the lingering affection in her eyes in the shadows.
Qin Luo shrugged helplessly, his gaze quickly sweeping over her alluring curves. He thought to himself, "How can I blame myself? Your advantages are just too great..."
He could only give a fawning laugh before transforming into a streak of light and leaving the place.
Even after his figure disappeared from sight, Su Yaoyue remained standing there, staring blankly at the empty courtyard. The wind ruffled her hair, and the silver bells in her hair jingled softly, as if telling of endless longing.
She raised her hand to her cheek, where, though flushed, the warmth of Qin Luo still lingered. At this moment, she suddenly felt an overwhelming anticipation for the day he would return, and the day they would walk hand in hand onto the Shang Relic Continent...
