Near the sacred pool, there is a crabapple tree, its pink petals fluttering down, and the bright sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the pool.
What a beautiful scene.
Unfortunately, the man's temperament was as indifferent as ice; beneath his handsome exterior lay a cold melancholy that even the sun could not warm.
He showed no reaction on his face, but his deep eyes beneath his long lashes stared at her silently, their dark depths churning as if he had remembered something.
"Yunzhi".
"It is indeed a coincidence."
She clearly doesn't look like Yunzhi, so how did he recognize her?
Seeing his look of wanting to settle scores later, Nanzhi felt a chill run down her spine and turned to run away.
Suddenly, her wrist was grabbed by a large hand, and she was pulled back unexpectedly, slamming into that hard body.
Her whole body ached. She looked at the angry man in front of her and tried to push him away, but found that he wouldn't budge.
His divine power was many times greater than hers.
She thought the mission was over, so her points had long been redeemed and were almost all gone.
Nanzhi can't escape now.
"What does the Divine Lord want to do? Is it revenge?"
"So what if he had a few children? You've lived for so many years, surely you don't still think that men giving birth is an unforgivable sin?"
"Alright, I've helped you through this ordeal. I won't hold it against you for stepping on that worm. Let's just call it even."
"Can it be wiped clean?"
Lin Yuan's voice was low and hoarse, his emotions unreadable, and his aura terrifying.
"Yes, it's great to wipe the slate clean. No one will ever complain about seeking revenge against you again."
She raised her other hand to assure him, "Don't worry, I'll move out of the shrine right away and find a quiet place to go. I'll never come back to bother you again."
Lin Yuan is different from the four divine beings.
Someone who has lived for tens of thousands of years and has a high status would not be preoccupied with romantic love.
But he'll definitely settle accounts with her.
After all, someone as old-fashioned as him certainly wouldn't like men giving birth, and this memory must be a disgrace to him.
Nanzhi is a smart person. Since she can't beat him or win him over, she decides to run away.
She'll try to win him over again once she's changed her identity.
But she never expected that Lin Yuan would lift her chin and stare at her with eyes like hooks: "It can't be erased."
His eyes were dangerous, revealing a sharp aggression.
Yet his skin was extremely fair and his lips were a vibrant crimson, creating a captivating contrast.
"Then what do you want to do..."
Nan Zhi was mentally scanning the mall, looking for any cheap escape potions.
But soon, she couldn't concentrate on checking.
The other person's large hand cupped her cheek, and their cool, snow-white lips landed on hers, gently pressing against hers, their scent like that of a snow lotus spreading out.
"If you also have thirteen children for me, I'll consider whether we can cancel the marriage."
Nanzhi's eyes widened.
Before she could even express her surprise, her clothes were gone.
Then, her slender waist was firmly grasped by a large hand.
Caught off guard, he was pinned down on the steps by the pool.
Seeing the person approaching, Nan Zhi felt unusually nervous.
"Um, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"What's wrong?" The man's hoarse voice rang in my ears.
"Too fast." Nan Zhi blushed deeply, her voice trembling slightly. "And...and you hate me so much."
Lin Yuan looked at her, paused for a moment, and slowly narrowed his eyes: "How do you know I hate you?"
"I...I knew it."
Lin Yuan chuckled softly, his expression softening, and the tenderness in his eyes held a sense of déjà vu.
"I know."
The large hand slid down the collarbone like a snake, pausing and lingering in a certain place.
Nanzhi's breathing was audible, and her whole body was tense.
As his hand slid down her waist and landed there, her body went limp, and she heard his very low voice.
"You're not from this world, are you?"
Nanzhi was truly stunned this time.
Her pupils contracted as she saw the man's all-knowing gaze.
"Yunzhi".
Her waist was pulled forward and pressed against the other person's body.
She quietly sensed the changes in him, listening to him say, word by word, "If I'm not mistaken, you definitely carry something that doesn't exist in this world. It can help you do many things."
Upon being noticed, 003 trembled and hugged himself tightly.
The NPCs this time are so powerful.
[Zhizhi, be careful, it seems he can control the affection level.]
003's reminder startled Nanzhi.
Lin Yuan stroked her hand and continued, "Your target is me, isn't it?"
You guessed them all correctly.
He's ridiculously smart.
Nan Zhi's attitude of neither admitting nor denying has already proven that Lin Yuan's guess was correct.
Recalling the memories of the four deities, there were already clues to be found.
Even he couldn't easily escape from those dragon tendons, yet she could sever them so easily.
He didn't know what she had, but he knew he couldn't let her go, otherwise he would have a hard time finding her again.
He gently stroked her, watching her snow-white skin gradually turn pink.
"I can help you complete the task."
The other person's hands teased her back and forth. Despite having an icy face, he looked incredibly amorous at that moment.
"As long as you're always with me."
Since that's what they've said, Nanzhi already knows that refusing is useless.
She held his hand, her voice soft and hoarse.
"Okay, I promise." She turned her face away, her ears burning red. "But could you... hurry up?"
