Chapter 62: Xiao Wu, Are You Poisonous Or What!
Nourished by love, Ye Linglong's skin radiated a fresh, luminous glow, becoming significantly firmer and smoother.
Even more astonishingly, her cultivation realm skyrocketed directly from level twenty-seven to level thirty-seven, and her innate potential underwent a heaven-defying transformation.
This was the incredible benefit bestowed upon her by Gu Chen's Supreme Holy Body.
Naturally, she was unaware of these changes for the moment. Right now, she simply felt as though she were floating on the clouds—so incredibly comfortable, so wonderfully at ease that she never wanted to come down...
Several hours later, the rumbling sounds of hunger echoing from their stomachs forced them to finally halt this superficial and brief exchange of intimacy.
After washing up and dressing properly, they headed downstairs to grab some food.
Just as they stepped out of the Rose Hotel, they bumped into Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others.
"Why are you two together?"
Tang San asked with a puzzled expression.
"We just happened to run into each other. Does Senior Tang San have any advice for us?"
"Advice wouldn't be the word, but I felt like Junior might have forgotten Grandmaster's instructions, so I wanted to offer a reminder."
"Then I thank you very much, Senior. What exactly did Grandmaster instruct?" Gu Chen cast a sidelong glance at Tang San, a flash of undisguised disdain in his eyes!
"Gu Chen, don't be so ungrateful! Third Brother is only reminding you to save you from being punished!" Ma Hongjun voiced his dissatisfaction with Gu Chen's attitude.
"You solitary mutt, what business is it of yours? Why is it that you're always sticking your nose into everything? You should learn a thing or two from Boss Dai over there."
Tang San and Ma Hongjun simultaneously turned their heads to look at Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai looked somewhat bewildered, having no idea what these two meant by looking at him like that!
"Why are you all staring at me?"
Dai Mubai felt rather depressed.
"They're just jealous of you! One of them is a little virgin, and the other is a lonely bachelor—they're both green with envy!"
"What did you say?" Tang San glared with wide eyes, looking ready to attack Gu Chen on the spot.
"Did I say something wrong about you being a little virgin? Aren't you one?"
"You..." Tang San was so enraged he was left speechless, but remembering Grandmaster's strict instructions, he managed to hold himself back.
"What about me? You can't even string a proper sentence together—no wonder you're still a virgin!"
"You're asking for death!"
Unable to control himself any longer, Tang San unleashed a hidden weapon toward Gu Chen.
"Stop!" A sweet, tender voice rang out.
Xiao Wu used teleportation and instantly activated her Invincible Golden Body, blocking the sleeve arrow for Gu Chen.
Looking at him with anxious eyes, she asked, "Gu Chen, are you alright?"
That single sentence—"Gu Chen, are you alright?"—shattered Tang San's heart into a million pieces!
"Senior Xiao Wu, I'm fine. Thank goodness you arrived in time, otherwise I might never have seen you again!"
"Tang San, what on earth do you think you're doing?"
Tang San's attempt to harm a fellow sect member completely infuriated Xiao Wu. She glared fiercely at Tang San, demanding an explanation with blazing anger.
"Xiao Wu, please, let me explain."
"Explain what? I saw everything with my own eyes. What is there for you to explain?"
"I don't want to look at you right now. Please leave this place immediately."
Xiao Wu's fierce yet adorable demeanor inexplicably made Gu Chen feel she was utterly charming.
He quietly admired the smooth, flawless curve of Xiao Wu's jade-white back, completely ignoring the murderous glare shooting from Tang San's eyes.
"Third Brother, Xiao Wu is furious right now. I think we should just leave for now," Ma Hongjun said, stepping forward to advise Tang San as he sensed the situation turning sour.
Tang San shot him a glare so icy it felt as though Ma Hongjun had been plunged into a freezing abyss, instantly forcing him to swallow back whatever else he had wanted to say.
"Xiao Wu, do you have any idea what he just said?"
"I heard every word! Did he say anything wrong?"
"You were the one who came here putting on a high-and-mighty attitude in the first place. Let me ask you, which of Grandmaster's rules did he break?"
"He rented a room with the girl standing right behind you!" Tang San stared at Gu Chen, his eyes splitting with rage.
"What business is that of yours? Which of Grandmaster's rules states that renting a room is forbidden?"
"Xiao Wu, you're being way too partial to him!" Consumed by the fires of jealousy, Tang San once again struggled to keep his composure.
Ma Hongjun tugged at the corner of Tang San's sleeve, suddenly beginning to doubt whether following Tang San was a mistake after all.
Look at him now—acting like this! How could someone incapable of controlling his own emotions ever lead others to the peak of their lives? Ma Hongjun certainly had no desire to hitch his wagon to a mediocre person for the rest of his life; he was a man who aspired to become a phoenix!
This Gu Chen fellow, on the other hand, was quite impressive! At the very least, he wasn't pretentious and suited Ma Hongjun's temperament quite well!
If he could just temper his temper a little bit, he was bound to achieve great things in the future.
In a single instant, Ma Hongjun's mind raced through countless thoughts.
"Xiao Wu, do you really not care that he went and rented a room with another girl?"
The moment Tang San uttered those words, it was equivalent to a formal declaration of war against Gu Chen. He knew that aside from Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu was the one who despised disloyalty and valued emotional purity above all else in a boy.
He felt entirely certain that playing this card would secure his victory, but the words that followed instantly plunged him from the clouds down into the deepest abyss.
"I don't care at all. In fact, if there's someone I like, I'd even introduce them to him myself!"
"Xiao Wu, are you out of your mind?" That was the unanimous thought running through everyone's mind.
Gu Chen coughed awkwardly twice.
"Well... Senior, you really don't need to introduce anyone. I'm still young... I'm just a child!"
Xiao Wu burst into a bright, amused giggle. Her smile was as brilliant and charming as a vibrant red peony blooming under the sunlight.
"There you go running your mouth again. Tell me, what did the two of you actually go do?"
Ye Linglong lowered her head shyly, not daring to meet Xiao Wu's eyes.
Gu Chen smiled brightly. "Fairy Linglong wasn't feeling well, so she asked me to examine her body and help her adjust her physical condition."
"Look how wonderful her complexion looks right now!"
Looking at Ye Linglong's deeply flushed, moist, and lustrous cheeks—a complexion of blushing white and tender pink that possessed a unique, ethereal beauty—she indeed looked far more refined and feminine than before she had seen her. Especially certain parts of her figure... which actually seemed even more prominent than the little bunny she had been carefully nurturing this entire time!
And what on earth were those faint red marks deep within that snow-white cleavage? Was she trying to drive her to jealousy?
"Junior Gu Chen, you've certainly worked hard!"
Xiao Wu forced those words out through gritted teeth, casting a deeply meaningful glance straight down at his crotch.
"Tonight, I'll be waiting for you in my dorm. If you don't show up, bear the consequences!" Xiao Wu transmitted her voice directly to Gu Chen, ensuring only the two of them could hear.
Noticing Xiao Wu's expression shift from clear skies to a gathering storm, Tang San wore a sinister smile. He pressed on, "Xiao Wu, do you finally see Gu Chen's true nature? I saw them go in with my own eyes. Three hours and forty-three minutes—not even three mini-movies take that long... Don't let yourself be blinded by Gu Chen anymore..."
With that, Tang San crossed his arms over his chest, quietly waiting for Xiao Wu to explode in fury. In truth, Tang San had no precise idea how long Gu Chen had been inside; he had simply guessed a duration and deliberately made it specific to add an air of authenticity to his claims. Furthermore, feeling rather pleased with himself, he deliberately exaggerated the length of time.
If Gu Chen dared to dispute it, he would be indirectly admitting to it!—Tang San thought with a sinister smirk.
However, the actual amount of time Gu Chen and Ye Linglong had spent in that room was five hours and twenty-two minutes—far longer than what Tang San had claimed!
"Heh..." Gu Chen didn't bother to refute him. He felt that Tang San was truly missing out by not pursuing a career in acting.
He didn't need to argue. Once night fell and he went to Xiao Wu's dorm, she would understand the truth of his capability. Why bother arguing with a petty, scheming villain?
