"Sister Hua, could you get me some clothes, please?" A gust of wind blew, and Lin Chen shivered.

However, aside from the rustling of the wind, there was no other sound in the jungle.

"Damn, she did this on purpose," Lin Chen cursed inwardly!

The thought of having to walk back naked over such a distance gave Lin Chen a headache.

"You think you can embarrass me, huh? You're still too green. Luckily, I can turn invisible!" A smile curled at the corner of Lin Chen's mouth as he thought this and he entered his invisible state.

As Lin Chen's figure disappeared in an instant, the flash of a camera lit up the bushes.

A girl with trembling hands held her phone: "So there really are ghosts in this world, and this one's an exhibitionist at that."

That day, on Capital City University's forum, a post instantly became popular.

"Exhibitionist ghost man spotted in the grove behind Capital City University!"

...

Lin Chen returned to the hotel and passed Zhao Xiaohua's room, only to find her door ajar, not properly closed.

"This damn girl, making me streak down the road, I need to find a chance to get back at her," Lin Chen thought.

With that thought, Lin Chen slipped into her room in a flash.

Nobody was in the room, the bed was a mess, and on it lay a Crayon Shin-chan comic book and a pink bra.

"This girl is so careless, going out without locking her door," Lin Chen shook his head, helpless.

Forget it, since Zhao Xiaohua wasn't there, he would let her off for now. Lin Chen was ready to leave when suddenly the door opened, and Zhao Xiaohua came in with a bunch of snacks.

This foodie, Lin Chen smirked inwardly, finding he no longer had a way out through the main entrance and would therefore have to go out the window.

He looked around and then headed for the bathroom.

It was far enough from the bedroom that with Lin Chen's skills, he shouldn't have been noticed.

Tiptoeing into the bathroom, Lin Chen opened the window and froze instantly.

"Damn, there's a security grid on the window," Lin Chen said helplessly and turned to look for another way out.

But then the bathroom door opened and Zhao Xiaohua came in.

Lin Chen felt awkward; the small bathroom space was now blocked by Xiaohua at the doorway, making it impossible for him to leave.

Lin Chen had no choice but to hide in a corner of the bathroom.

And the next instant, a blood-pumping scene unfolded.

Zhao Xiaohua actually started to take off her outerwear...!

"Damn, she's going to take a bath!" Lin Chen was instantly unsettled as he watched Zhao Xiaohua's delicate body, which was smooth as jade.

Suddenly, Zhao Xiaohua's eyes sharpened, her gaze icily fixing on the corner where Lin Chen stood.

"Crap, did she notice me?" Lin Chen's heart sank as he held his breath in a panic.

Zhao Xiaohua's lips curled into a mischievous smile, and she turned the water to its hottest setting.

Lin Chen instantly understood Zhao Xiaohua's intentions and embarrassingly revealed himself, "Stop, it's me!"

Zhao Xiaohua looked at Lin Chen somewhat playfully, smiling faintly, "Seen enough?"

Lin Chen swallowed hard, caught red-handed in his voyeurism, he was definitely doomed this time.

"Xiaohua, I was wrong!" Lin Chen said with a sheepish smile.

Zhao Xiaohua stepped lightly and walked in front of Lin Chen.

"Your vital energy is very strong right now, and it's the best time for cultivation. Sit and circulate the Qi within your body."

"Oh!" Lin Chen had also just felt something odd in his Qi Sea.

He quickly sat down on the spot to circulate the Qi within his body!

The sound of rushing water rang in his ears. This girl clearly knew he was here and yet she was taking a bath.

Lin Chen was speechless and his breathing became erratic in an instant.

"Your breath is very erratic! This won't do," a faint voice came from beside him.

Lin Chen finally couldn't bear it any longer, "Big sister, you're bathing right next to me. Any man's heart would be in turmoil!"

"Oh, is that so? Sorry, we haven't done this in a long time!" Zhao Xiaohua said somewhat embarrassedly.

Lin Chen suddenly opened his eyes, baffled, "Have we done this before?"

Zhao Xiaohua smiled and did not answer, but stood up, wrapped herself in a bath towel, and walked out, "Don't think too much. Focus on your cultivation."

"What was I like before, before?" Lin Chen suddenly felt a jolt in his heart and thought of a question.

He had never seen photographs of himself as a child, and he had only ever heard about his childhood from his parents—he had no memory of that time at all.

Ever since Zhao Xiaohua appeared, she often spoke odd words, but for some reason, he felt an inexplicable closeness and familiarity with this girl.

Lin Chen knew that even if he asked Zhao Xiaohua, she certainly wouldn't tell him anything, so he sank his consciousness deeper, reaching into his soul. He wanted to find the other him and get some answers.

However, as soon as he delved into the depths of his soul, his Divine Sense was blocked by an invisible barrier.

No matter how hard Lin Chen tried, he was blocked by that mysterious barrier.

Inside the prison of the seal, the other Lin Chen suddenly lifted his head. The ferocity and bloodthirst in his eyes vanished, replaced by a trace of sorrow, "For whom does the flower bloom, for whom does it fall... Zhao Xiaohua, you still managed to find me after all. People say love is hard to traverse; it seems neither of us can get past this obstacle."

Damn it!

Lin Chen tried several times, but eventually gave up; he simply couldn't break through the seal.

Opening his eyes, Lin Chen smelled the fragrance of lavender. Zhao Xiaohua was squatting in front of him, staring at him.

"Don't try to delve into the truth. What you need to do now is to become stronger. Otherwise, even if you discover the truth, it will only bring you trouble. When you are strong enough, the truth will naturally surface," Zhao Xiaohua said indifferently.

"Is the seal set by you?" Lin Chen inquired.

Zhao Xiaohua shook her head, "I don't have such great ability. I just unlocked your seal, that's all."

"How strong do I need to be before you'll tell me?" Lin Chen asked somberly.

Zhao Xiaohua pondered for a moment, "Once you reach the Kunlun Mountains and defeat Bai Ling, you will naturally have the chance to know the truth."

"Bai Ling!" Lin Chen was stirred.

The three-year agreement initially began with Lin Chen wanting to bring Zhao Xiaowen back by his side, but he suddenly realized this did not seem like an accident, but more like a long-planned conspiracy.

"By the way, someone from the Dragon Group has come to see you," Zhao Xiaohua mentioned.

"Oh!" Lin Chen stood up, just about to leave, when he suddenly remembered he wasn't dressed.

But Zhao Xiaohua had already thrown casual clothes at Lin Chen, "Put these on. I don't like your body being gawked at by just anyone, especially such enchanting women."

"Women?" Lin Chen was momentarily taken aback.
