Chapter 71 -71 K.A China Region Members’ Group Chat
Finally embracing the girl he had longed for, Li Muchen felt completely relaxed.
It’s as if his heart, empty and hollow all day, was now finally set at peace, filled with a sense of belonging.
He let go of his tight embrace around the girl, kissed her on the lips, and said in a deep voice, “…By sending Chen An back, do you want me to sleep here tonight?”
“Yes,” the girl replied candidly, not hiding her thoughts, and pointed to her bed, “But the bed is only one and a half meters wide, so you’ll have to hold me tight to fit.”
“Alright.” Li Muchen glanced at the bed, which was indeed not very wide, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted.
He bent down again to kiss the girl’s ear and said in a deep and steady voice, “Even if the bed was two meters wide, I’d still hold you tight.”
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
“Meow~”
Just then, Black Bean suddenly bolted out from under the blankets and, quite unexpectedly, jumped into Lu Sheng’s arms, wedging between her and Li Muchen.
“Your cat?” Li Muchen asked, slightly surprised.
“Yes,” Lu Sheng nodded.
“…It seems to be sizing me up,” Li Muchen observed Black Bean’s round eyes, “Does it dislike me?”
“No,” Lu Sheng smiled and rubbed Black Bean’s head, “If it disliked you, it would have already charged at someone and scratched them for holding me like this.”
The room Lu Sheng was staying in was originally a guest room of the Lu Family.
The bathroom cabinet just happened to have brand new disposable toothbrushes, cups, towels, bath towels, bathrobes, slippers, and even underwear prepared.
Lu Sheng knew about these items, which is why she let Chen An leave directly earlier.
After taking turns bathing, by the time Lu Sheng and Li Muchen finished their preparations, it was almost midnight.
Lu Sheng went to turn off the lights in the room.
Only a floor lamp emitting a soft, warm yellow light by the bed was left on, and then she climbed into the covers where Li Muchen was.
The man moved over her as if on cue, his strong and firm arms wrapping the girl in his embrace, careful not to touch her bandaged right hand.
Lu Sheng’s body was slightly cool, but Li Muchen’s broad arm enveloped her with warmth. The similar scents of their shower gel collided and intertwined in the secluded air.
Even though they had been intimate before, sharing a bed like this was still a first, yet both of their movements matched and felt natural.
Lu Sheng, held in Li Muchen’s arms, felt the Evil Qi emanating from the man enriching her soul, repairing the Soul Power she had damaged from forcibly stopping the truck yesterday.
It was a sense of security she had never felt before, making her unconsciously want to press closer, wanting the man to hold her tighter.
The room was very quiet when Lu Sheng suddenly raised her head and asked, “Before I gave you the acupuncture yesterday, had you not slept well for a long time?”
Li Muchen paused, “Yes.”
Lu Sheng pressed, “For how long?”
Li Muchen seemed to fall into his memories for a moment before he looked down and slowly replied, “About… ten years.”
Ten years.
It turned out it wasn’t only the recent effects of St. John’s wort, but ever since he had witnessed his parents die in front of him ten years ago, the man before her might have never had a good night’s sleep since.
Lu Sheng felt a touch of heartache.
Although such emotions should originally only be present in humans, having lived as a human for a long time, she too had begun to experience human emotions and desires.
She sensed the man’s longstanding loneliness.
And this loneliness, resembled hers all along.
Lu Sheng asked Li Muchen again, “Have you found out the source of the St. John’s wort?”
“It was my uncle,” Li Muchen’s tone turned slightly cold as he mentioned his uncle, “He bribed the Li Family’s old butler to place that problematic pillow on my bed.”
This was consistent with Chen An’s speculation from yesterday.
Lu Sheng frowned slightly.
Over this period, Red ginseng, Lychee Flower, St. John’s wort… these items were originally very rare plants.
Not grown in crevices on sheer cliffs, they’re found in dense forests on high mountains or deep valleys. Very rare and difficult to circulate on the market.
Why have so many appeared recently?
Where did they all come from?
Perhaps out of some intuition, Lu Sheng suddenly thought of someone.
Or rather, not a person, but her mortal enemy back when she was a Flower Demon, a Pearl Clam spirit from Wangchuan River—Ning Yu.
Back then, he professed his fondness for her, cozying up to her every day, yet he stole her Essence Stabilizing Pill during the last stage of her cultivation, causing her arrival in the Human Realm to be forcibly delayed by several years.
And Ning Yu, who had gotten her Essence Stabilizing Pill, vanished in the blink of an eye.
Her Essence Stabilizing Pill had the power to transform any ordinary plant into a rare one.
So, could it be Ning Yu selling these things?
Ever since she was Bai Qiang, Lu Sheng had been wanting to find Ning Yu to retrieve her Essence Stabilizing Pill. Only she hadn’t caught any trace of him over these years.
“What are you thinking about?” Noticing the girl was lost in thought, Li Muchen couldn’t help but ask.
“Nothing.” Lu Sheng shook her head, “We need to wake up early tomorrow, let’s go to sleep.”
The girl moved closer to the man, seeking to kiss him. Li Muchen’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he suddenly turned his head away.
Seeing the girl’s puzzled look, Li Muchen took a deep breath, holding Lu Sheng tightly in his arms, his chin resting on her head.
His voice slightly hoarse.
“Good girl, let’s just sleep like this.”
“My self-control… isn’t that good yet.”
Holding the person he liked close in bed, it’s hard for anyone to restrain themselves.
But Li Muchen just held Lu Sheng, patting her back like coaxing a child, lulling her to sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Muchen also fell asleep.
Lu Sheng opened her eyes in the dim light.
She first kissed the lips of the man, who was deeply asleep, fulfilling the goodnight kiss he had avoided earlier, then she quietly got out of bed barefoot and walked to the desk.
The laptop that Lu Youye had bought for her from the market was on the desk, Lu Sheng flipped it open and pressed the power button.
Once online, her fingers tapped swiftly on the keyboard, and soon a group chat-like interface appeared on the screen.
The K.A China chapter members’ group chat.
There were a total of thirty-five members.
All members of the K.A club are super-intelligent youths with an IQ over 150, who have exceptional abilities in various fields; asking for information here might be the fastest way to get results.
In another country across the ocean.
In the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.
A youth with a striking red hairdo was idly browsing on his laptop, suddenly spraying milk onto the screen.
Pfft—
The boy exclaimed dramatically: “No way, am I seeing this right??”
“This person with the codename Qiangwei who has never been online, their star level is actually 6-star??!”
And the black-haired boy beside him, seeing the screen smeared with milk, frowned.
The boy’s figure was on the slender side, his skin had an unhealthy pallor as if seldom exposed to sunlight. Locks of hair slightly obscured his delicate features, which were near perfect.
Those deep black eyes were beautiful to extremity, with a teardrop mole at the corner. But beneath the dark eyelashes was a layer of indifference, the coldness not reaching the bottom of his eyes, even carrying a hint of danger.
“Instead of worrying about how many stars someone else is, you might as well think whether there will be any oversights in tomorrow’s mission.”
The boy stood up emotionlessly and threw a gun onto the sofa, said “Don’t hold me back,” and turned to walk inside the room.
