CHAPTER 140: CHAPTER 137: THAT DOG OF A MAN ISN’T CUTE AT ALL

Yun Ran looked up and saw a beautiful dog sitting majestically in the distance, barking at her with its head held high.

Unexpectedly, Yun Ran felt a bit of delight.

The dog had appeared, so could Nangong Mo be far behind?

Soon, a carriage appeared in her sight, luxurious and elegant, with a familiar scent.

Yun Ran seemed to see Nangong Mo waving at her.

"Woof woof—"

A joyful bark rang out as the dog dashed towards Yun Ran with a speed that seemed almost airborne.

Because of the net’s restriction, Yun Ran couldn’t move her legs freely, and could only take tiny steps or hop forward. When she saw the dog rushing towards her, she instinctively wanted to dodge.

But it was a step too late.

The wind from the oncoming dog blew her hair into disarray, knocking her to the ground.

Yun Ran: "..."

"Woof woof—"

The dog lay on her legs, wagging its tail at her, looking both ingratiating and affectionate.

Looking at its head, Yun Ran’s hands itched with the desire to twist it off...

"Woof woof—"

The dog seemed to understand the unfriendly look in her eyes and barked even more obsequiously.

Then, it wiggled its bottom to get off her legs, moved to her head, and ’patted’ her head with a paw, making her already messy hairstyle even messier.

Yun Ran: "..."

"Do you want an intimate encounter with a big iron pot?"

"Woof—" What did you say? The dog doesn’t understand~

Feeling very exhausted, Yun Ran lay on the ground, not wanting to get up, and stared at the moon above: Quietly absorbing the Essence of the Moon and practicing cultivation seemed like a good idea?

"Lin Wanyue."

Nangong Mo’s voice drifted to her ears, and Yun Ran moved her eyes to look.

The man in white was as pure as snow, his hair like ink, surrounded by Immortal Energy under the moonlight, beautiful as a painting, tempting one to crime!

Yun Ran thought of herself... and instantly felt a faint sadness.

Seeing the girl sitting on the ground, with some dirt on her clothes, and a few blades of grass adorning her slightly messy hair, swaying gently in the breeze...

The girl’s beautiful face showed a look of apathy towards life...

Nangong Mo pursed his thin lips, a hint of regret passing in his eyes, and a deep sense of guilt rising in his heart.

"Lin Wanyue, are you okay?"

He wheeled forward and reached out to her.

Looking at the particularly attractive hand in the moonlight, Yun Ran moved forward a little and poked his palm through the net with her finger.

It tickled a bit, and Nangong Mo’s body stiffened as he pursed his lips, "Lin Wanyue, what is this?"

Yun Ran silently rolled her eyes and sighed, "A net made of Heavenly Silkworm Silk!"

"By the way, do you have any Divine weapon? Let me borrow it; I need to destroy this!"

"Hmm."

The man nodded, pulled a dagger from his sleeve, and called for Ying Yue.

Ying Yue quickly stepped forward, took the dagger, and carefully cut open the net, "Mistress, please bear with it, Ying Yue will rescue you shortly."

Yun Ran promptly stopped Ying Yue from shredding the net, as it was made of Heavenly Silkworm Silk, and was quite valuable!

Besides, she wanted to keep the net to let that bastard have a taste of hanging from a tree ensnared by his own net, surely a thrilling experience~

"Mistress, are you okay?"

As soon as Yun Ran was free, Ying Yue began tidying her hair and slightly disheveled clothes. She couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.

The master certainly didn’t understand how to cherish a woman!

Look at what the mistress had been through!

"Ying Yue, how did you find this place?"

Ying Yue: "..."

Because it’s the master’s private residence!

At the master’s command, we came!

"Well... we owe it to Bai’s cleverness! It recognized the mistress’s scent, and we followed Bai here."

"Woof—"

Yun Ran turned to look, and the dog held its chin high, looking proud, as if to say: Thanks to Mr. Dog! Praise Mr. Dog!

"Mistress, you must be very tired and sleepy now, right? Ying Yue will help you onto the carriage. You should return and rest quickly."

"Okay."

...

In the carriage, Yun Ran curled up on the comfortable cushion, feeling completely relaxed.

Opposite her, Nangong Mo sat quietly, his eyes slightly lowered, long lashes shielding the emotions in his eyes.

However, the tightly pressed thin lips and the slightly furrowed brows revealed his complicated thoughts at this moment.

Yun Ran raised an eyebrow, "Master, how does it feel to be a hero saving the beauty?"

Nangong Mo’s eyes flickered, a flash of guilt passed through his eyes, but his mouth said, "You’re a petty person."

Yun Ran rolled her eyes at him, "Even petty people can be beautiful, you know?"

"Oh..."

The man nodded compliantly and looked at her, "Beautiful petty person?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[I mean, if you remove the ’petty,’ would grass grow on your head?]

[Dog man! Not cute at all!]

"By the way, how did you know I wasn’t in the room?"

"Be honest, did you secretly climb into bed at night again?"

Nangong Mo: "..."

Haven’t I failed every time recently?

"I didn’t, Master."

Yun Ran unceremoniously gave him another eye roll.

If he didn’t climb into bed, how would he have known she wasn’t in bed while sleeping soundly?

"Even a dog wouldn’t believe it."

"I’ll give you a brick when we get back."

Nangong Mo: "..."

The man pursed his lips, furrowed his brow slightly, and asked her, "Lin Wanyue, were you sleepwalking?"

"What?!"

"Otherwise, how could you end up here in the wilderness while sleeping soundly?"

"..."

"It couldn’t possibly be that someone sneaked into the manor and kidnapped you?"

"Why not? Didn’t someone sneak into the manor last time and steal a sack of gold and jewels?"

"I’m much lighter than that sack! Why couldn’t I be kidnapped?"

Yun Ran blatantly lied with her eyes wide open, still so confidently,

Nangong Mo: "..."

"If that were true, how could I, the master, not know?"

"Exactly! You didn’t even know! What kind of husband are you? Not competent at all!"

"I’ll divorce you in a couple of days! Hmph!"

Nangong Mo: "..."

...

By the time they returned to the manor, half an hour had passed.

Yun Ran had fallen asleep in the carriage, and it was Nangong Mo who carried her back to the resting palace.

Hot water had been prepared in advance, and Nangong Mo carried her directly to the bathroom.

He glanced at the sleeping girl in his arms, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn’t bear to wake her.

Yun Ran was sleeping soundly, and in her daze, she felt someone tugging at her clothes.

Without opening her eyes, she slapped out with her hand.

Nangong Mo, who was focused on undressing her, got a slap on his handsome face.

"..."

This little girl wasn’t even obedient in her sleep.

Nangong Mo ignored his face and continued undressing her.

By the time Yun Ran felt a bit chilly and reluctantly opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the man’s handsome face, extremely close, with slightly lowered eyes and a focused expression.

Yun Ran followed his gaze...

After a moment of dazedness, she became fully awake, all sleepiness gone.

"Ah! Beast! Nangong Mo, you’re shameless!"
