Chapter 1014: Chapter 52 Golden Core True Man Xie Ruoxi_2

    Now finally achieving success and advancement, thinking back to the encouragement and comfort from the captain, Xie Ruoxi felt a warm current flowing through her body. She very much wanted to tell the captain this good news immediately… and then get encouraged by him again. That would make the day perfectly flawless.

    “The captain went on a business trip,” Lin Ning said briskly. “He’s probably in Nanchuan now, with Ling Yun accompanying him to handle official matters.”

    Xie Ruoxi was eating a piece of lemon cake, and upon hearing this, she froze in place, the cake falling out of her mouth. Fortunately, the enchantress was beside her and, with lightning speed, caught it before it hit the ground, thus avoiding wasting food.

    Did the captain leave before watching me cross the tribulation?

    Haha, hahaha, he probably thought that my crossing tribulation was a sure thing, no need to wait for the result… This is proof that the captain absolutely trusts me.

    But why does my heart still hurt…

    Xie Ruoxi felt like a wife who got promoted and excitedly returned home to share the good news, only to find out that her husband went on a trip with his mistress. Thinking of this made her feel overwhelmingly sad, and the tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

    The girls were shocked, not knowing why little Ruoxi was suddenly sad but could guess it had something to do with the captain’s absence. They immediately offered words of comfort:

    “Oh dear, it’s not that the captain doesn’t value you. Lord Master urgently called him to Pingjing for something very important.”

    “The Privy Council directly ordered it, so the captain had no choice. Ruoxi, you know his character, he can’t refuse such things.”

    “Don’t worry, Ruoxi. When he comes back, we’ll give him a good beating together. We’ll make him surrender and beg for mercy!”

    Ningning and Yun Jin were speechless. Zhao Jie, are you rewarding him or punishing him? And doing such things recklessly makes us seem indifferent…

    “Hmm!” Xie Ruoxi nodded vigorously, pulling Ningning with her left hand and Yun Jin with her right, solemnly telling everyone, “Then it’s settled. When the captain returns, we do it together!”

    Everyone: ………

    So you’re crying because you can’t do such things without the captain around?!

    ————————

    At the Pingxi Army base, inside a room, Chen Lingyun was leisurely doing some stretching exercises.

    Her hair lazily draped over her shoulders, with her fair and smooth skin and dewy sweat drops below, looking like exquisite dew on rose petals, but tasting salty.

    The sweat of a beautiful girl is fragrant—this is a complete fantasy of some men.

    “Ouch.” Chen Lingyun suddenly stopped her movements and then bit down hard on Yan Yu’s shoulder, leaving two clear rows of teeth marks.

    “What’s up, your rabies finally acted up?” Yan Yu asked with a cold laugh.

    “Hmph, dare to have your mind wander while being with me.” Chen Lingyun showed a scornful, cunning smile, “This time I’ll give you a small lesson. Next time, if you dare think about another woman, it won’t be just your shoulder getting bitten.”

    “How do you know I was thinking about Ruoxi?” Yan Yu said in surprise, “She’s crossing tribulation, I just couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.”

    “What’s there to be uneasy about? Just ask her.” Chen Lingyun casually picked up the phone beside her, tapped a few times, “She succeeded in crossing the tribulation, reportedly very smoothly, without any danger.”

    “That’s good.” Yan Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    The heavy stone in his heart suddenly dropped, and all his muscles naturally relaxed.

    Chen Lingyun paused slightly, then showed a playful, beautiful smile and got up, “Today’s exercise ends here, I’m going to take a shower.”

    “Go ahead, you don’t need to report to me.” Yan Yu yawned.

    “Can I use your bathroom?”

    “No problem, feel free.”

    “By the way,” Chen Lingyun said as she walked into the bathroom and looked back with a smile, “the door isn’t locked.”

    “You want me to attack you while you shower?” Yan Yu coldly sneered, “You’re not worth it!”

    “Hmph.” Chen Lingyun slammed the door shut. Moments later, the sound of running water could be heard.

    Yan Yu lay sideways on the sofa, his mind completely blank, random thoughts began to emerge.

    He thought about being with this tricky woman in his past life, except for not forming a marital bond, they had experienced everything a couple would. But they could never cross that final step of official recognition.

    Yan Yu once believed it was because this tricky woman looked down on him for not being a cultivator.

    But now it seemed not entirely the case.

    Chen Lingyun’s views on love and marriage were completely different from societal norms. To be precise, she had no formed concept of them and just followed her heart with Yan Yu, doing whatever she felt like, without external influences.

    What romance inevitably leads to marriage? She didn’t have that concept! A woman who could allow her man to have a harem and enjoy it, you couldn’t expect her to walk into marriage and play the wife’s role—it wasn’t reasonable.

    In other words, in the past life, his suffering stemmed from having too high moral standards. Encountering someone like Chen Lingyun with no boundaries, it was easy for expectations to be unmet, leading to a broken Dao Heart.

    So in this life, I won’t be a gentleman anymore!

    Yan Yu slowly extended his hands, then clenched all ten fingers one by one.

    I want it all!

    The bathroom door suddenly opened, and Chen Lingyun, wearing a bathrobe, emerged. Her hair was tied back, revealing an elegant neck like a swan’s.

    “Why are you still lying on the sofa?” She saw Yan Yu’s lounging posture and showed a mischievous smile, teasing, “Don’t tell me you’re totally exhausted? Wow, you’re a weakling~”

    “Nonsense.” Yan Yu lazily said, “You were in the bathroom, how could I go in?”

    “Didn’t I say? The door wasn’t locked.” Chen Lingyun pouted cutely.

    From a sly little witch, she suddenly showed an adorable, innocent look, making Yan Yu’s heart stir.

    “You’re tempted again.” Chen Lingyun noticed sharply, sitting beside him with a sweet yet mischievous smile, “I guess I was wrong; you still have energy.”

    “It’s not your business.” Yan Yu, used to sparring with her, propped himself up, “I’m going to shower now.”

    “Wait.” Chen Lingyun pressed him back, “Since you still have strength, join me for another round of exercises. It’s good for your flexibility and stamina.”

    “Didn’t you say the exercise was over for today?” Yan Yu asked, baffled.

    “Yes, but look at the time.”

    Following Chen Lingyun’s gaze, Yan Yu saw the clock on the wall; the hour hand had quietly passed midnight.

    “Wait, since it’s already tomorrow, we should deal with Zibai Mountain Mysterious Realm…”

    He didn’t finish his sentence before Chen Lingyun enthusiastically silenced him.
