"Hmm, I quite like it."
"Then tonight you can sleep on the right side of the bed."
Su Xiaoqiang asked, puzzled, "Why?"
"That way my heart can be closer to yours, and you can feel my loving heartbeat on the left!"
It took Su Xiaoqiang a few moments to realize he was using Yang Cheng-lin's reference, and she couldn't help but laugh, "That's so cheesy!"
"Is it really cheesy? Let me touch it and see if it's cheesy..."
"You rascal, wake up! Or Liu Miaomiao will laugh at you!"
Su Xiaoqiang broke free from his embrace, lifted the blanket, and her smooth body appeared before his eyes.
What a nice view!
"Let me help you get dressed..." He got up with a grin and hugged her from behind.
"Stop, stop messing around!"
"Come on, come on, how about wearing black?" he said as he helped Su Xiaoqiang put on her clothes, occasionally taking liberties with her.
Su Xiaoqiang couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she had no choice but to let him do whatever he wanted.
She raised her hand, letting him help her fasten her bra, then pinched his cheek and said, "I'm already yours, and you still keep taking advantage of me like this. I really don't understand you."
"Because I love seeing you helpless yet doting on me!" After saying that, he hugged Su Xiaoqiang again.
"Oh, alright, stop being so clingy!" Su Xiaoqiang said, both amused and exasperated.
When they first started dating, she was quite clingy and always wanted to be intimate with him; she could never get enough of it.
But now it's the other way around; he's like a child who never grows up.
But Su Xiaoqiang also enjoys being intimate with him.
……
Today is the weekend, and neither Su Xiaoqiang nor Liu Miaomiao has classes.
After the three finished breakfast, Gu Ran was to go to the top-floor clubhouse as agreed, because Nuwa said she had a way to open Zhang Qiong's crystal barrier.
After learning about this, Su Xiaoqiang also wanted to go.
Gu Ran figured that she would come into contact with this in the future, so she took her along.
He was carrying a golf bag, inside which was the Dragon Slayer Sword.
"Let me drive!" Su Xiaoqiang happily sat in the driver's seat of the Porsche Panamera; she quite liked the car.
Su Xiaoqiang was also a fast driver, weaving through traffic at top speed on the elevated highway. People around her, seeing how expensive her car was, didn't dare to get too close to her.
Drivers who want to change lanes will politely use their turn signals, and they will only dare to change lanes after the turn signals have been flashing for more than two seconds, for fear of colliding with that luxury car.
A short while later, Su Xiaoqiang drove the car to the ground floor of the top-floor clubhouse.
At this moment, the top-floor clubhouse had not yet opened to the public, so Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang came to the living area of Nuwa.
As soon as Gu Ran entered the room, he saw Lü Xue'er sitting on the sofa, blowing on the wound on her arm.
Five red scratches were visible on her fair arm, the skin of which had been broken. The scratches stretched from her upper arm to her forearm, and the wounds looked quite frightening.
"Hey, Xue'er, who bullied you?" Gu Ran walked in and ruffled Lü Xue'er's hair.
Lu Xue'er said irritably, "I was scratched by a stray cat. If it weren't for Nuwa telling me to be careful and not hurt the cat, I wouldn't be injured like this!"
Last night, Lu Xueer and Du Huimin were sent by Nuwa to capture Zhou Xinqing. In order to train Lu Xueer, she was made the main force.
Lu Xue'er's bloodline is only B-grade, and she's not very good at fighting. Nuwa even told her to hold back, which made things difficult for this young lady of the Lu family.
Zhou Yancheng apologized profusely, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry to trouble you, Grandma. Look at the new products from this year's Paris Fashion Week, which one catches your eye? I'll buy it for you!"
After arriving in Shanghai, Lü Xueer developed a love for fashion. She calmed down a bit after hearing Zhou Yancheng tell her to buy whatever she wanted.
But looking at her gruesome wound, she was still a little worried: "This wound is so long, I wonder if it will leave a scar!"
Zhou Yancheng quickly said, "I'll pay for it! I'll pay for your IPL skin rejuvenation treatment. I'll make sure your skin is as smooth as a baby's. I'm willing to pay any amount of money!"
Upon hearing this, Lü Xue'er finally smiled.
Du Huimin came out with a first-aid kit to treat Lü Xueer's wounds, and Su Xiaoqiang also stepped forward to help.
"Where is Nuwa?" Gu Ran asked.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the sounds of fierce fighting came from Nuwa's room. Then, her door suddenly shattered, and a person burst out and was thrown out!
It was Zhou Xinqing who broke down the door; she was forced out by Nuwa smashing the door against it.
Zhou Xinqing was still flying in mid-air, her back facing Gu Ran.
Gu Ran gently raised his right hand and placed it on Zhou Xinqing's back, relieving her pressure.
He saw that Zhou Xinqing was wearing a thick down jacket, her hair was a bit messy, and she looked dusty and dirty, as if she had been through a big battle.
So he grabbed Zhou Xinqing's down jacket with one hand and lifted her up.
Zhou Xinqing turned to attack the person who had grabbed her, but when she turned back and saw Gu Ran's face clearly, she was stunned for a moment.
She suddenly became like a timid kitten, too afraid to move after being held down, her whole body stiffening.
Lu Xueer and Du Huimin were stunned by what they saw. Zhou Xinqing was the girl they were responsible for capturing, and she was quite wild when they caught her last night.
But right now, she seemed terrified of Gu Ran, like a mouse seeing a cat, truly trembling with fear.
Nuwa came out of the room with her hands behind her back. Her porcelain doll-like face was pretty and cold. She was quite surprised to see that Gu Ran was able to subdue the wild cat. She said, "Since you can control her, take her back and discipline her properly."
"I don't care about this mess, it's too much trouble." With that, Gu Ran tossed Zhou Xinqing onto a single sofa.
Zhou Xinqing's body flew through the air and then slowly landed on the single sofa. She curled up, hugged her knees, and sat on the sofa, watching everyone warily.
She was furious with everyone she saw, but her expression softened slightly when she saw Zhou Yancheng, and she didn't dare to utter a sound when she saw Gu Ran.
"Don't be ungrateful!" Lu Xue'er scolded Zhou Xinqing. "You should be glad you fell into our hands last night. If you had fallen into the hands of the Secret Party, you would be dead by now!"
"It's not that bad," Gu Ran, a member of Kassel College, said. "At most, they'd implant a miniature bomb in the heart and exile the person to some small island in the Pacific, or perform a prefrontal lobe surgery to turn them into an idiot!"
He deliberately dragged out the word "that's all" in an attempt to scare Zhou Xinqing, but to his surprise, Zhou Xinqing remained expressionless and instead stared at Gu Ran with a wary look.
Gu Ran didn't know what was going on at first, but now she suddenly understood.
Previously in northern Myanmar, he used Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall to block the flood, and then used a combination of Word of Power: Azure Thunder Domination and Lightning Release: Kirin to launch himself into the sky and destroy a helicopter.
This awe-inspiring power, like that of a deity, immediately astonished Zhou Yancheng and his sister who were present.
He only erased Zhou Yancheng's memory as a witness, but not Zhou Xinqing's, because he felt it didn't matter if he didn't erase it since she seemed so dazed.
Unexpectedly, she regained her memories of northern Myanmar, which caused her to remember this incident.
Therefore, she was very afraid of Gu Ran because she had witnessed how formidable Gu Ran was.
Su Xiaoqiang was taken aback when she saw Zhou Xinqing's appearance, and asked Gu Ran, "What's she doing here?"
"You know him?" Gu Ran asked curiously.
"You forgot? The first girl to perform at last year's campus singing competition, the one in the sportswear..." Su Xiaoqiang asked Gu Ran to recall.
Gu Ran then remembered that Zhou Xinqing was the professional player who appeared on stage back then.
At that time, she was wearing sportswear, and she was a bit introverted and shy, with a delicate and charming demeanor.
In northern Myanmar, she looked dazed, her eyes lifeless and devoid of spirit.
Now, she's like a cat with its fur standing on end; anyone who tries to touch her will get scratched, a far cry from how she used to be.
Nuwa walked out of the living room, looked at Gu Ran and said calmly, "In short, this little wildcat is in your hands. Keep her in check and don't let her cause any more trouble."
Gu Ran wanted to refuse, but Zhou Yancheng then asked him for help: "My sister is really afraid of you, so I can only ask you for help with this. Otherwise, if something happens again, even Nuwa will lock her up."
There is one consensus among all hybrids in the world: the secrets of hybrids and dragons must never be exposed to the public.
Chapter 360 Only Do Good Deeds
Making such a big commotion as Zhou Xinqing did carries the risk of exposing the secrets of the dragon race, which is something that no hybrid race power can tolerate.
“I’m entrusting my sister to you. You can hit her or scold her if you want, but do whatever you can to manage her. She’s my only sister, and her personality has changed drastically. She doesn’t listen to me at all anymore,” Zhou Yancheng said helplessly. “I really have no other choice but to rely on you.”
"Everyone's counting on me to save the world!" Gu Ran said irritably.
He walked to the armchair, looked at Zhou Xinqing, and asked, "Do you still want to take revenge on Ma Qianyan?"
“Yes.” Zhou Xinqing’s voice was somewhat hoarse and cold. “She deserves to die.”
Most of the people present knew more or less about the feud between Zhou Xinqing and Ma Qianyan, the only one who was unaware was Su Xiaoqiang.
Su Xiaoqiang helped bandage Lü Xueer's wound and asked her curiously what had happened. Lü Xueer then whispered the story to her.
After listening to Zhou Xinqing's words, Gu Ran nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, I also think she deserved to die. But would you be satisfied just killing her like that?"
Zhou Xinqing squinted and asked, "You want me to forgive her?"
“You’re wrong. I’ve always believed in settling scores and avenging wrongs,” Gu Ran said with a smile. “But don’t you think killing her like this would be too easy on her?”
Zhou Xinqing remained silent for a while before speaking, "Yes, before killing her, I should torture her terribly..."
Gu Ran has always opposed violence. He shook his head and said:
"No, this is a society governed by the rule of law. We are law-abiding citizens and cannot do that. Besides, what's the point of torturing someone? In the end, it will only cause her physical pain, but sometimes... mental anguish and despair are what make people feel most helpless and devastated!"
"Then please tell me, what should we do?" Zhou Xinqing asked.
The others also looked at Gu Ran, curious about what he would do.
Gu Ran sat down on the sofa and thought for a moment before saying, "You see, isn't Ma Qianyan most afraid of her family finding her and making her go back to get married? Let's give her parents her address..."
Zhou Xinqing was stunned. She knew that Ma Qianyan had gone through so much trouble to escape from the mountains in order to avoid her parents and get away from her arranged marriage.
Once Ma Qianyan is found by her parents, she will face nothing but returning to the mountains and being forced into marriage!
She mustered up her courage to escape, and having already experienced the prosperity of the big city, could she adapt to returning to the mountains? Would she be willing to do so?
“That’s not enough.” Zhou Xinqing shook her head, because if Ma Qianyan could escape once, she could escape again.
Gu Ran said, "We are good people, so we should do good deeds. Let's see if there are any very poor bachelors in her village, the kind who are both lazy and poor. We'll give them money to help them marry Ma Qianyan... matchmaking! See, isn't that a good deed?"
Gu Ran's move can be described as killing someone by destroying their spirit.
