Somewhere.

  Yun Zhanyi turned around, her face flushed, not daring to look any longer.

  During this time, Ning Huanhuan had been missing Xiao Lingchen terribly, but wasn't she the same?

  Ever since she was poisoned by the Flood Dragon blood, she couldn't forget anything from that day.

  So, during this period, every time she saw Ning Huanhuan sneaking down the mountain, she would secretly follow.

  Unfortunately, Xiao Lingchen didn't show up the first few times, and she could only return disappointed.

  Now, Xiao Lingchen had returned from the True Martial Space.

  Ning Huanhuan sneaked down the mountain again, and the two finally met.

  Suddenly, Yun Zhanyi felt a bit envious of Ning Huanhuan.

  At least Ning Huanhuan could go to Xiao Lingchen anytime she wanted.

  But she couldn't.

  For a long time, there was no sound from behind.

  Xiao Lingchen seemed to have something to do and bid farewell to Ning Huanhuan.

  Seeing the two had left, Yun Zhanyi sighed and prepared to leave too.

  However, just as she stood up, a voice suddenly came from behind:

  Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original.

  "Senior Sister?"

  Hearing this voice, Yun Zhanyi was stunned.

  Turning around, she saw that the person calling her was none other than Xiao Lingchen.

  For a moment, Yun Zhanyi's face was flustered.

  Xiao Lingchen walked towards her, smiling as he asked, "Senior Sister, what are you doing here?"

  Yun Zhanyi quickly concealed her inner panic and said coldly, "I... I just happened to pass by."

  "Do you have something to say?"

  "If not, I'll be on my way."

  With that, Yun Zhanyi hurried to leave.

  But in the next second, Xiao Lingchen's words came again:

  "Did Senior Sister enjoy the view just now?"

  As soon as he said this, Yun Zhanyi felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her steps stopped abruptly.

  When she turned back, she saw the playful smile on Xiao Lingchen's face.

  In an instant, her cheeks flushed again.

  At this moment, she realized that Xiao Lingchen had known she was there all along.

  He just pretended not to know.

  He let her see everything on purpose, then came to expose her now.

  For a moment, Yun Zhanyi felt as if her cover had been ripped away, leaving her both embarrassed and angry.

  Before she could speak, Xiao Lingchen was already in front of her, his broad and solid shoulders close enough to lean on.

  Xiao Lingchen gently held her shoulder and said with a smile, "Senior Sister, you've missed me too during this time, haven't you?"

  Yun Zhanyi quickly stepped back, keeping a distance from Xiao Lingchen, and said, "Who... who missed you?"

  "I told you, I just happened to pass by, and I didn't see anything just now."

  "Do you have something to say? If not, I'm leaving!"

  "You should go back too!"

  With that, Yun Zhanyi turned to leave.

  She thought Xiao Lingchen would surely follow her.

  But when Yun Zhanyi looked back after walking some distance, there was no sign of Xiao Lingchen.

  For a moment, Yun Zhanyi felt an emptiness in her heart.

  "Brat, I told you to go back, and you really went back?"

  "Don't you know women say one thing and mean another?"

  "Couldn't you chase after me?"

  In the next second, Xiao Lingchen appeared in front of Yun Zhanyi, startling her.

  "And you say you don't miss me?"

  This time, Xiao Lingchen didn't give her a chance to speak and pinned her down.

  ...

  Since he still had to report back to his Master, Xiao Lingchen didn't linger too long.

  Afterward, Yun Zhanyi tossed a Sound Transmission Talisman to Xiao Lingchen and said, "From now on, we can use this Sound Transmission Talisman to keep in touch."

  "If you miss me, come find me."

  Taking the Sound Transmission Talisman Yun Zhanyi threw, Xiao Lingchen sniffed it, catching a faint fragrance.

  Xiao Lingchen smiled and nodded, but suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, do you still remember what happened in the Dark Forest?"

  Yun Zhanyi rolled her eyes, her expression turning alluring as she said, "Oh, you! If I didn't remember, would I still be so hung up on you, my little nemesis?"

  "Ahem..."

  Xiao Lingchen coughed twice, knowing Yun Zhanyi misunderstood.

  He quickly explained, "No, Senior Sister, you misunderstood. I wasn't talking about that."

  "I meant, you promised me back then, if I helped you find Ning Huanhuan, you'd agree to one condition of mine. You haven't forgotten, have you?"
