Screams erupted throughout the villa as countless people were jolted awake and scrambled to their feet. But lightning was everywhere, and staying put might actually save them from being struck.
Abbot Jinghai wasn't originally tainted by the Thunderstorm Talisman, but in his haste to save people, he was accidentally struck by lightning and charred to a crisp. He was extremely annoyed, thinking, "Even an old man gets struck! Amitabha!"
Amidst the chaos, they heard Linghu Lan's voice coming from the sky, a voice that seemed both distant and intimate.
Linghu Lan said, "This is a small punishment to serve as a warning. If I hear you speaking ill of me again in the future, I will not hesitate to send you to your deaths sooner."
Linghu Lan continued, "The world is vast and the journey is long. If you wish to find me, please send a message by carrier pigeon. However, it will be of no use once you find me. I am used to a life of leisure. You should seek other wiser options. I will not keep you company."
After saying this, Linghu Lan left with Fu Xin.
She didn't care about the position of leader of the martial arts alliance.
It was already dark by then, so she took Fuxin to Yuncheng and found an inn to stay in.
Once inside the room, Fu Xin obediently fetched water for Linghu Lan to wash her feet.
Linghu Lan looked at him and couldn't help but chuckle.
"You pinched me twice, did you think washing my feet once would be enough?"
"How about washing feet for the rest of your life?" Fu Xin raised his head, his face as handsome as jade, his eyes clear and bright as he looked at Linghu Lan.
Linghu Lan chuckled. "Do you think this heroine is so easily conquered by beauty?"
"I am captivated by your beauty, heroine. Are we returning to the Lingshan Sect tomorrow?"
"Um!"
"Ahem, since we're going to see our parents anyway, why don't we just make it a fait accompli..."
"Hehe!" Linghu Lan flicked out the candle. "Go to sleep!"
Bound Heart: "..."
He lay on the ground, unable to sleep. Thinking about returning to Lingshan to see his parents the next day, he felt quite nervous. He was even more worried that when he arrived at Lingshan, the sect leader would ask him for his parents' names. After he honestly told him, he wondered if the marriage would still be possible.
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel a little restless.
His dark eyes fell on Linghu Lan's sleeping face. Regardless of whether others agreed or not, he was determined to marry her.
As if in a fit of pique, he tiptoed onto Linghu Lan's bed and gently kissed her lips.
Linghu Lan suddenly opened her eyes.
"Heroine... have mercy!" Fu Xin forced out a cute smile.
Linghu Lan flipped over and pinned Fu Xin beneath her. "Hehe, coward, this Alliance Leader will teach you the correct way to kiss..."
A gentle breeze and a bright moon—a moment of blissful indulgence.
...
Linghu Lan had a long dream in which someone stood by her bedside, staring at her with cold eyes.
The man held a sword, its blade flashing and exuding an astonishing chill.
She was startled awake, sat up abruptly, but immediately fell back onto the bed.
She felt weak and limp all over, and her body ached all over, even her bones ached terribly, as if she had been run over by a heavy truck.
She took a deep breath, but her internal energy was completely depleted, making it difficult even to lift a single finger.
Turning to look at her side, Fu Xin was still there, but her face was bright red, her whole body as red as a shrimp, her smooth face faintly glowing red, and her condition was obviously not good.
Linghu Lan's heart sank. She carefully went through the whole process in her mind, but she really couldn't figure out when she and Fu Xin had been ambushed. The poison in Fu Xin's heart seemed to be different from the poison she had been given.
At this moment, she was also somewhat unsure of the reason why she had lost her internal energy, but danger was definitely present.
Door.
"Whoosh!" It was pushed aside.
A dozen or so slender women dressed in white walked over with graceful movements.
