Chapter 1235: The Tsundere Young Lady Zi Yan_1

"Ah!"

"Xu Ran, what did you do to me?"

Zi Yan, with a red face, jumped off Xu Ran's body, then seeing her dress had slipped down to her waist, she screamed even louder.

She hurriedly turned around, pulled her dress back up, and squatted on the ground, glaring fiercely at Xu Ran. At this moment, she was utterly ashamed.

She had no recollection of what had just happened; her mind was completely muddled. So naturally, she assumed Xu Ran had done something to her. However, if Xu Ran had really done anything to her, she wouldn't blame him—who could resist when she was so beautiful it was criminal?

"Hey, hey, hey. Don't slander me. I didn't do anything to you. It was you who had the hots for me just now and almost devoured me," Xu Ran teased. If he hadn't woken Zi Yan up, that dress that had slid down to her slim waist would have completely fallen to the ground.

Cough, cough...

Half-concealed, half-exposed.

It might have been accidental, but that demure pose, like someone hiding their beauty behind a lute, was indeed something most men found irresistible.

Many girls think men like it when they wear nothing, but in reality, being completely bare is just so-so. Otherwise, why would there be so many designs for revealing clothes?

"Impossible!" Zi Yan panicked instantly.

With that said by Xu Ran, she suddenly remembered.

Just now she seemed... for some reason unknown to herself... she wanted to get closer to Xu Ran, and then...

But she would never admit it, even if it killed her. After all, only she and Xu Ran knew about it; as long as she didn't confess, it could be as if it never happened. Besides, she could just say she forgot; she hadn't remembered anything anyway.

Zi Yan pouted, her eyes brimming with innocent radiance, but the occasional panic and shame were hard to conceal.

"I knew you would deny it, but I was prepared."

Xu Ran waved his hand, and the air in front of them turned into a series of light screens, displaying what had just happened.

Zi Yan, having lost her reason, clung tightly to Xu Ran, even going as far as to kiss him forcefully, and what came next was too indescribably to put into words.

Zi Yan's face turned red; she wished she could crawl into a hole and hide.

This was too embarrassing.

Xu Ran actually had this video, what did he intend to do with it? Could it be he wanted to watch it whenever he pleased? With Xu Ran's power, all past events left a memory imprint in his mind, like the things that had happened between him and Xun Er amounted to tens of thousands of gigabytes.

"You, you, you! You aren't allowed to remember any of this..." Zi Yan stamped her foot fiercely, yet her flushed, embarrassed look didn't seem at all intimidating, instead, it had a cutely feisty charm.

"Don't worry, I won't watch it. What's there to see? The videos with Xun Er and the others are much better," Xu Ran said with a smile. Xu Ran thought of the various scandals exposed on certain websites in his previous life and couldn't understand—why were there so many scumbags who liked showing off their girlfriends to others? Could it be some special fetish, or was it out of spite after a breakup? Unfathomable.

But it wasn't that Xu Ran wanted to record these events; it's just that with his power, everything he saw and heard would be deeply etched into his own mind. His memory was too frightening; it wasn't like he could just purposely erase it.

Xu Ran was no scumbag; he would only secretly admire his own wife.

"You, you!"

Zi Yan was immensely frustrated, nearly crying. She had almost been completely seen by Xu Ran, taken advantage of greatly, and yet, wuwuwu... Didn't she have the right to look as well? If she had appeared grown-up just now, she would have definitely been very attractive, and Xu Ran would surely have been unable to restrain himself.

But her mindset had been completely muddled just now, how could she have thought of all that. All she knew was...

"Hmph. I don't care; that incident is definitely related to you. Otherwise, how could I have suddenly turned into... that appearance? You must have done something behind my back," Zi Yan stuck out her tongue and, after putting on her dress, her mood gradually stabilized. She wasn't angry about what had happened between herself and Xu Ran, but about Xu Ran's attitude.

After all that had happened, Xu Ran had remained as indifferent to her as a block of wood.

If Xun Er and the others had been there, Xu Ran's reaction would surely have been different; he would have devoured them completely. Even with Hu Jia and the rest, it would have been the same.

But why not with her...

Did Xu Ran not like her?

"Actually, it was the effect of the Fallen Heart Flame. The Fallen Heart Flame can stir up one's inner fire, which is why you suddenly became that way," Xu Ran explained grumpily.

"Hmph. The Fallen Heart Flame is now your Strange Fire. Since you can control the Fallen Heart Flame, how could I have... Moreover, you are so strong, you obviously could have helped me regain consciousness quickly after I got lost," Zi Yan said loudly.

New sparks flashed in her beautiful eyes... So, by that logic, she did have a strong appeal to Xu Ran, and that's why he didn't help her immediately.

Hmpf, this damn guy, he truly lacks any grace. He took such advantage of her, and yet he still made her, a young girl, bear so much...

Zi Yan silently complained in her heart, yet she was secretly pleased.

As long as Xu Ran didn't dislike her, she was very happy.

"Ah, this..."

Xu Ran was also stunned. According to Zi Yan's reasoning, it indeed made sense. But any normal man, even a gentleman, would hesitate in such a situation, wouldn't they? He was not Liuxia Hui, who could remain unruffled even in the arms of beauty, was he?

"Forget it, I won't argue with you. How are we going to go down now, just jump in?" Zi Yan linked her arm with Xu Ran's and put on an indifferent demeanor.

If they jumped straight down, wouldn't it feel like a couple committing double suicide?

Zi Yan's mind wandered with random thoughts.

Although Zi Yan's mentality was no longer affected by the Fallen Heart Flame, the episode had made her feelings for Xu Ran utterly unguarded and significantly narrowed the emotional distance between them.

After all, having done something so awkward and embarrassing, other things shouldn't feel so awkward now, should they?

"Let's jump; I'll protect you, so nothing will go wrong. Plus, this layer of magma only looks terrifying. Even with your strength, passing through to the bottom won't be too dangerous, especially since you are the Taixu Ancient Dragon with an amazingly strong physique," Xu Ran held Zi Yan and jumped directly toward the depths below.

In the vast expanse of magma, a world of crimson red, the greenish flame shadow of Xu Ran and Zi Yan, rapidly diving down, was particularly eye-catching.
