Snap!
? ? ?
Mu Yingying snatched the two storage rings from Luo Chen's hand and stuffed them into her cleavage without hesitation. She didn't believe Luo Chen would dare to reach in and take them back.
"..."
Luo Chen was stunned by her swift and decisive action.
My fiancée, what are you playing at?!
Where else can a storage ring be worn?
Mu Yingying's face was flushed, but that didn't stop her from proudly tilting her head back and looking away.
"Ahem, now that the elixir has been retrieved, I should be going. Take care of yourself."
Luo Chen cleared his throat and began to speak.
"You...you're leaving?"
Mu Yingying's eyes showed some reluctance.
"That's right, I still need to cultivate, I don't have time to stay here!"
Luo Chen's sleeves fluttered in the wind as he looked into the distance.
A warm feeling washed over Mu Yingying. She hadn't expected Luo Chen to wake up from his cultivation just to stand up for her. A slight smile appeared on her lips.
[Affection level 0]
!!
Luo Chen had his back to her, but the corners of his mouth curled up at the same time.
"Hey Luo Chen, could you do me a favor?"
Mu Yingying asked cautiously.
"Tell me first, and I'll listen."
Luo Chen asked, feigning aloofness.
"I am about to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm. In recent years, due to Yan Hao's issues, no one is willing to be my friend. I am afraid of being disturbed during my breakthrough. I would like to ask you to protect me. Is that alright?"
Mu Yingying said in a pleading tone.
"It's not impossible, but you have to promise me one thing."
Luo Chen raised his head and held up one finger.
"What's up?"
Mu Yingying asked curiously, not believing that her cultivation level could help Luo Chen in any way.
"After you advance to Immortal Emperor, you should give me a face-to-face hug. I can't possibly help you this much, let you take all the benefits, and I won't get anything in return, right?"
Luo Chen spread his hands, as if to say, "If you don't agree, then there's no point in talking about protecting the Dao."
"Oh dear, I have no emotional foundation with her at all. It's impossible for us to start kissing and being all lovey-dovey right away. Let's take it one step at a time, starting with simple hugs. Being too aggressive all at once will only make her feel uncomfortable. I can't force her just because I'm more skilled. It's still necessary to give her the respect she deserves."
!!
Hearing Luo Chen's thoughts, Mu Yingying was quite surprised. Luo Chen seemed different from the men she had met before. He actually considered the issue of respect. Suddenly, Luo Chen's status in her heart rose a little more.
[Affection +5]
? ? ?
Luo Chen frowned.
What's going on? I haven't even said yes to her yet!
"I……"
I promise you!
Mu Yingying spoke first, then lowered her head shyly, not daring to look him in the eye.
"..."
For a moment, Luo Chen was at a loss. He awkwardly scratched his head and continued, "Alright then, let's find a quiet place."
Afterwards, the two left the Bluestone Square one after the other, and Mu Yingying led the way to a courtyard.
Squeak!
Mu Yingying pushed open the door, and Luo Chen followed her in. She made hand seals, and a barrier enveloped the entire room. Meanwhile, Luo Chen secretly activated the Myriad Dao Technique to conceal his own secrets. Otherwise, a divine king-level heavenly lightning bolt would have reduced Mu Yingying to ashes.
Mu Yingying glanced at Luo Chen. For some reason, after so long, the boy who used to scheme against her, tease her, and play around with her suddenly gave her a sense of security because of his presence...
