"Why are you staring at me like that?"
Gu Yuena's face turned red, and she gave Xu Ran a cold glare, as she certainly saw the implications in Xu Ran's gaze. Having been with Xu Ran for so long, she was clear about what he wanted.
Especially when Xu Ran's eyes fell on her neck, it made her feel somewhat ill-intentioned.
"If you're so fond of that, just call Bi Ji over. She's a swan, with a long, and also slim neck," Gu Yuena said.
"No, I don't have the heart to hurt you, I have no other thoughts," Xu Ran shook his head outright, "I'll be more careful in the future. If it comes to it, I'll just not have children for the time being, keeping everything for you. Once my wounds have healed, I'll start 'handing in my homework' for you two."
"What do you mean 'keeping everything for me'? It sounds rather strange," Gu Yuena said with a bit of a squirm, feeling she was at a loss no matter how it was phrased.
This damn setup!
Why does it have to be Xu Ran's blood essence that makes her stronger?
And now that she has provoked the Divine Realm, her identity as Silver Dragon King has been exposed, and the Divine Realm will soon return. If she doesn't try harder, facing the Divine Realm, she'll be utterly defenseless, and they will be in danger then.
It's not just her, but also Xu Ran; both of them are powerless against the strong ones from the Divine Realm.
"I can only accompany you for a day or two at most, as my aura is still not on par with the Dragon God's. If the Divine Realm comes to investigate and my true strength is exposed, all will be in vain."
"The Lake of Life has a special attribute that can shield from the Divine Realm's investigation. Plus, that place is quite hidden, so even if the Divine Kings descend to our world, it would still take them some time to find me," Gu Yuena pondered for a moment before saying.
Even if she wanted to be by Xu Ran's side all the time, it wouldn't be possible.
She's just relying on the skin of a Dragon God right now, making the Five Great Supreme Gods of the Divine Realm hesitate.
If she lost this guise, as one could imagine, then the terrifying existence like the Destruction God would probably personally descend.
"Fine. Then I'll have Xiaowu and the others spit it out and save it for you," Xu Ran pondered for a moment, then lifted his head to say earnestly.
He hadn't thought of any other good methods right now.
If Gu Yuena weren't by his side and still needed him to grow stronger, this was perhaps the only way.
He can't possibly live the life of those single men that resort to manual labor, not with his dozen or so delicate wives, can he?
No, absolutely not.
"You want me to eat the saliva from those women of yours?" Gu Yuena's eyebrows furrowed, her delicate eyes widened, as she stared down Xu Ran, clearly dissatisfied with him.
It was one thing for Xu Ran to bully her, but he even wanted to bring his group of indecent women to join in on the bullying.
She is the Silver Dragon King!
"Uh, then I'll think of another way." The Mother Tyrannosaurus throwing a fit was not something to be trifled with, so Xu Ran shrank his neck to avoid her sharpness. After all, if Gu Yuena left, then everything would still be up to him.
"I don't care. If you dare to do that and let me feel unclean, I will throw away all those women by your side," Gu Yuena warned, her eyes becoming very vigilant. That scoundrel Xu Ran was capable of doing anything.
She is the Silver Dragon King, she could accept Xu Ran, but that didn't mean she could accept anyone else.
Particularly the women by Xu Ran's side, it would be generous enough if she didn't deal with them. If Xu Ran brought that group to bully her, she would definitely return it tenfold.
"Understood."
"Hiss, let's not talk about it anymore; talking about it for too long makes my head dizzy."
Xu Ran felt his head heavy and woozy, having twisted his neck talking to Gu Yuena for so long.
"It's your fault, after all. There's nothing I can do about your injuries, but I've noticed that your body is healing at an incredibly fast pace. It must be the power of the Ancestral Dragon's bloodline. You should be as good as new in about a month."
"I'll give you a massage now to ease your discomfort."
Seeing Xu Ran's haggard face, Gu Yuena felt a pang of pity and didn't bother lecturing him any further.
Gu Yuena was momentarily stunned when she saw the expectant look in Xu Ran's eyes, full of implications. She stood there, tall and graceful, for a while before slowly extending her slender fingers to slip off her silver dress.
As the dress fell, it revealed her skin like white jade underneath, still covered by an undergarment; Xu Ran was slightly disappointed, but the scene before him was already satisfying.
His body couldn't stand temptation at the moment.
He couldn't handle too alluring a scene right now.
Moreover, Xu Ran didn't fancy the overly exposed look. On the contrary, this kind of hazy beauty allowed for boundless imagination. Such beauty was alive, infinite.
"Xu Ran, am I beautiful?" Gu Yuena smiled radiantly at Xu Ran, and no matter how shameless and rascally he was, in this moment, it was just the two of them in the room. This moment of Xu Ran belonged solely to her.
"One thinks of dressing up when beans like clouds lock thoughts of beauty in spring—the breeze at the door brings heavy dew," Xu Ran dreamily said. Gu Yuena's beauty couldn't be matched by ordinary people. The enchantment that blossomed from her aloofness brought a strong contrast that made it irresistible.
"Is this what you dirty men are all thinking inside your heads?"
Gu Yuena's red lips parted slightly, exhaling a fragrance like that of an orchid, pleased with Xu Ran's reaction.
She looked down at her body, every part so exquisitely perfect, her entire body as flawless as white jade, without a single superfluous hair.
Gu Yuena curled up her lustrous and delicate toes, kicking aside the clothes on the ground.
The movement was graceful, yet undeniably seductive.
"Xu Ran, do you like it?" Gu Yuena combed her stunningly beautiful silver hair that flowed like a waterfall. Each strand glistened, faintly releasing a fragrance. The scent was light but quickly filled the whole room.
Taking a deep breath was intoxicating.
Xu Ran remembered in his past life when he sat at the back of the classroom, next to the aisle where a very pretty girl used to sit, always smelling nice, and he would deliberately walk down that aisle before and after class.
But Gu Yuena's beauty was, of course, incomparable to the girl from his past life.
The Silver Dragon King, anything from her would be a treasure. And the natural fragrance of her body was perhaps the world's most perfect spice.
That clean scent could cultivate morality, refine one's temperament, strengthen the body, and slow down aging.
"Humph, even when you're ill, you can't change those bad habits."
Gu Yuena said coquettishly, pretending to be angry as she saw Xu Ran ogling at her without as much as blinking, though inside she was overjoyed.
With a fragrant breeze, Gu Yuena sat down cross-legged, her beautiful legs crossed over one another—the round thighs, slender calves, and lustrous white toes, all seemed to carry strong implications.
"It's all your fault for tempting me, knowing full well I can't do anything right now." Xu Ran snorted in annoyance. Gu Yuena was deliberately messing with his head, and the unresolved tension was truly uncomfortable, especially with his meridians still painfully aching.
Damn, this wretched woman, once he healed, he would give her a good lesson.
