The feeling of being swallowed didn't seem fake. When Gu Yangyang finally got a breath, her lips were already swollen and red. She felt a stinging pain when she licked her lower lip with the tip of her tongue...

Since coming to this world, the most outrageous thing that Gu Yangyang had encountered was a kiss, but after the man's lips left, he obviously had no intention of stopping.

He continued his actions, kissing Gu Yangyang's forehead, cheeks and neck...

He knew that she had a secret, and ordinary methods could not keep her...

Rather than doing nothing, or being unable to do anything, he would rather let her be briefly imbued with his scent, even if it was only for a moment...!

The delicate kisses fell on the girl's tender skin. The man's cold lips ignited her skin, which became hot inch by inch...

The kiss marks were mixed with slight bite marks, which made people think of the marks made by wild animals on their prey...

"Hmm..." Gu Yangyang's head was hot, and the scent of snow lotus and peach blossom in her nose had completely dissipated, replaced by a very sweet smell.

"Yangyang, do you like Master?"

The man still stopped, pressed his fingertips on her waist, and looked at her with heavy eyes.

Although he looked fierce at this moment, the aggression in his eyes was actually slowly fading away...

Gu Yangyang didn't reply.

He continued talking to himself.

"Why are you crying?" His fingers pressed on the corners of the girl's rosy eyes again, but this time he stroked it gently.

Although he stopped moving, he still hovered over Gu Yangyang.

As long as Gu Yangyang opened her eyes slightly, she could meet his eyes that were calm yet seemed to be burning with fire.

Gu Yangyang kept sobbing, and it was unclear whether it was the grievance or the fear that lingered in her heart for a long time.

Although she was uneasy and scared when she came to this world, she seldom cried. But now, she seemed to want to cry out all her grievances and let her tears run out...

There was a rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other, and it was Yan Wu who propped himself up and sat up.

He lowered his eyes slightly, his vision blocked by his long eyelashes, so it was impossible to tell the emotion in his eyes at the moment.

He straightened Gu Yangyang's slightly messy clothes, and gently brushed his slender fingers over the hem of her skirt, smoothing out the wrinkles...

It was hard to imagine that the man who had just used this finger to pick up the girl's belt was now calmly restoring what he had disrupted...

After tidying up her clothes, Gu Yangyang was pulled up by him.

He pinched a piece of peach blossom cake and brought it to Gu Yangyang's mouth.

This time, Gu Yangyang did not try to refuse. Instead, she obediently opened her mouth and bit the peach blossom pastry while sobbing.

She chewed slowly, her shoulders shaking with sobs and hiccups.

Silence was her last act of stubbornness.

"Are you scared?" the man said as if sighing, placing his hand on top of her head.

She wanted to dodge, but stopped abruptly until she felt the palm above her head was cool, and then she felt relieved...

It’s finally not that hot anymore…

After swallowing the last bite of peach blossom pastry, she felt her mouth dry. Just as she wanted to drink some water, a teacup was brought to her lips.

“…”

Yan Wu's eyes completely calmed down, and became indifferent, but he could always guess what she was thinking.

It's like... I can read your mind.

As soon as I started thinking, a man's voice rang out.

"I learned about the peach blossom pastry from Ji Xiao and Wen Xia. They are quite capable, but they are far from being my opponent. It's very easy to pry something out of them..."

Gu Yangyang was stunned and looked at him with the teacup in hand.

Her eyes were still red, and she didn't know whether this was a threat or a confession...

After a long silence, she tentatively whispered, "Anything else?"

Will he confess to her everything she doesn't know, what confuses her, and what she doubts?

"And I can find you no matter where you go..." He sighed, "Actually, I rely on my spiritual consciousness left on you."

Gu Yangyang opened her mouth and remained silent.

In fact, she already knew this when she was in the inn...

Yan Wu took the empty cup from her hand, filled it with tea, and handed it back to her.

"And the matter of the mermaid."

He watched the girl suddenly look up at him and suppressed the hidden jealousy in his heart.

"In fact, the mermaid you saw was just my clone."

"He is a part of me. In essence, he is me."

So, the one you are thinking about is also me...

Gu Yangyang didn't expect the truth to be like this, but this is the most reasonable explanation.

"Then what about him...?"

Since the mermaid is Yan Wu's clone, then has he been taken back...

"Dead."

"W-what?" Gu Yangyang thought she had heard it wrong.

Yan Wu looked at her, his eyes frank and straightforward.

But the words that came out were somewhat cruel.

"He's dead."

"How did he die..."

"I killed him."

He smiled calmly, looking calm as if killing his own clone was a very common thing.

Gu Yangyang's mind went blank and she suddenly didn't know what to say.

She just felt like her brain seemed to have stopped functioning and she couldn't think.

"Why...? Why kill him? Did he do something wrong...?" she murmured, looking dazed and sad.

Yan Wu didn't like her showing such an expression to a replica, just like he didn't like the mermaid secretly hanging out with her while he was in seclusion...

His eyes darkened a little and he leaned closer to her ear.

"My dear Yangyang, there's no need to be sad. If you like mermaids, I can also transform into one for you...even as his master, my tail is more beautiful than his."

Gu Yangyang didn't respond, but just reached out and pushed him away.

Yan Wu's eyes flickered a few times, and he suppressed the desire that was surging in his eyes.

Generally speaking, anyone who has reached his current level of cultivation would be able to do whatever they want, and who would endure such hardship like he is now...

"He made a mistake," he said coldly.

Gu Yangyang looked at him.

"He touched something he shouldn't have touched. Not only that, he disobeyed my orders in order to steal someone else's treasure..."

Gu Yangyang looked at him and instinctively felt that the "treasure" he was talking about was herself.

She didn't feel happy, she just felt guilty...

"Okay, don't be sad about unimportant things." The man chuckled and touched her cheek.

She didn't know that her sad look over a replica was so enviable and yet innocent and cute in his eyes...

"Don't be sad, let me tell you an interesting secret." Yan Wu suddenly laughed.

The inexplicable smile on the man's face suddenly gave Gu Yangyang a bad feeling.

She frowned slightly.

But Yan Wu's voice was already ringing in her ears:

"Yangyang may not know yet, but her inner voice can be heard by others..."

"Thanks to being able to hear Yangyang's true feelings, we can know that Yangyang is so cute..."
