Chapter 415: Do You Like It?
Looking at the shy Su Zi, Ye Guan could not help but shake his head with a smile.
Naturally, he didn't believe her words at all. He wasn't a child, after all. Although he wasn't completely familiar with the Milky Way, he still had some common sense.
Ye Guan tried to move, but he was utterly exhausted. He sighed to himself. His father was too ruthless to him to the extent that he was starting to wonder if he was actually a biological son.
However, he soon realized that his bloodline and his sword intent had undergone a qualitative change. They had become even stronger, and incredibly, he couldn't grasp the depth of their improvement.
Ye Guan was really looking forward to the day his cultivation was restored. A wave of exhaustion soon swept over Ye Guan, interrupting his many thoughts.
The wave of fatigue made his eyes close ever so slowly.
He bit on his tongue, and the intense pain woke him up.
Su Zi’s heart ached as she said, "If you’re sleepy, just rest. I'll protect you."
Ye Guan shook his head and said, "I can't sleep. What if something happens while I'm asleep? Just talk to me. I’ll do my best to stay awake."
Ye Guan didn't dare to fall asleep. A wild beast was nothing much to fear; he was afraid of meeting that young woman on the plane. After all, there was a high chance that she was a demon.
Su Zi hugged Ye Guan tightly. She felt touched but frustrated at the same time as she said, "You really should stop thinking about me for now! Sleep! You have to sleep."
Ye Guan shook his head again and said, "Just keep talking to me."
Su Zi felt helpless at Ye Guan's insistence on staying awake. She could only agree to his request. To be frank, she was also afraid of letting Ye Guan sleep. What if he succumbed to his injuries while sleeping?
Just then, Ye Guan's eyes fluttered.
Su Zi hurriedly said, "What do you want to talk about?"
Ye Guan thought for a few moments before asking, "Do you still remember the first time we met?"
Su Zi nodded and said with a smile, "Of course. Back then, I thought you were Mu Wanyu’s boyfriend."
Ye Guan smiled back and said, "Does the word boyfriend have the same meaning as the word husband here?"
"No," Su Zi replied, shaking her head.
Ye Guan was confused. "What does it mean, then?"
"I suppose you can call it a phase," Su Zi said and explained, "If two people can continue to get along well with each other, then they may choose to get married and become husband and wife. Otherwise, they break up. Hence, a boyfriend is more than a friend but less than a husband."
"I still remember you asking me why I wasn't sleeping with Miss Mu..."
Su Zi laughed and said, "Well, if people are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, they can sleep with each other."
Ye Guan blinked and asked, "They can... sleep with each other?"
Su Zi nodded, "Yes, if both parties are willing."
Ye Guan nodded slightly. He was once again convinced that the customs in this place were slightly different from that of the customs back in the Guanxuan Universe.
Realizing that, Ye Guan felt slightly embarrassed.
He had been referring to both Su Zi and Mu Wanyu as his girlfriends, after all. It was all Mu Wanyu’s fault, as she had told him that the word girlfriend meant having a girl as a friend!
Regardless, Ye Guan had to admit that Huaxia's common language was profound and expansive.
The two chattered for a while until a wave of fatigue struck Ye Guan once again.
Su Zi asked, "Do you want to sleep?"
Ye Guan wanted to bite on his own tongue again to wake himself up, but Su Zi grabbed his hand and shoved it into her pocket. Ye Guan’s mind went blank upon sensing the warmth of her thighs, and he no longer felt sleepy at all.
Su Zi’s face reddened; she lowered her head shyly as she trembled ever so slightly.
Ye Guan cleared his throat.
"Su Zi, y-y-you... you don't have to do this," Ye Guan stammered.
Su Zi was blushing intensely as she asked, "Do you still feel like sleeping?"
Ye Guan fell silent.
He no longer had any issues staying awake, as his thoughts were too chaotic for him to sleep.
"Do you like it?" asked Su Zi.
Ye Guan shook his head and smiled. It would be a lie if he were to say that he didn't like it, so he replied in a serious tone of voice, "Thank you, Su Zi. You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to do so, though."
Su Zi shook her head and remarked, "It's fine as long as it's you, and... please don't think that I'm the kind of woman who can do this with any random men out there."
"Why would I think that way?" Ye Guan asked softly.
Su Zi cupped Ye Guan's face with both hands and said, "On the plane, I really thought that we were going to die, but you know what? My fear disappeared when I stayed close to you. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Ye Guan asked.
Su Zi smiled. "Because I was with you."
Ye Guan fell silent while Su Zi smiled slightly, no longer saying anything.
Ye Guan was about to retract his hand, but Su Zi grabbed his arm and said, "Keep it in my pocket, as it seems like it’s keeping you awake."
Ye Guan had to admit that tonight was bound to be a long night filled with happiness.
He no longer felt sleepy.
The two managed to stay awake until daybreak. Su Zi was about to stand up when she felt something on her chest. She instantly blushed upon identifying what had collided with her chest.
Ye Guan retracted his hand.
Su Zi tried to stand up, but she instantly keeled over.
Ye Guan caught her just in time and saw that her legs were covered in blood. His heart immediately throbbed with pain upon recalling the great distance she had covered by herself while carrying him on her back.
Ye Guan removed the necklace around his neck and put it around Su Zi's neck.
"N-no, it's better if you—" Su Zi wanted to refuse, but...
Ye Guan narrowed his eyes at her and said sternly, "Behave."
Su Zi instantly went silent. After a while, she nodded and replied, "Okay..."
"Come on, hop on my back," Ye Guan said.
Su Zi obliged, and just like that, the two started walking toward their destination in the distance.
Ye Guan felt much better after wearing the Nuwa Stone overnight. contemporary romance
Su Zi wrapped her arms around Ye Guan’s neck and stared at him with a smile.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan’s hands were holding Su Zi's inner thighs. His intention had always been wholesome, but he still couldn't stop the weird thoughts from coming in, but it made complete sense. He was still a man, after all.
Su Zi stared deeply at Ye Guan and thought, he's great in all aspects; it's just that he seems completely uninterested in women. Is it my fault? Is it because I'm not pretty enough?
Su Zi shook her head and blushed. Why do I sound like I want him to take advantage of me? Gosh, I’m weird.
It took them the entire day, but they eventually reached the peak of their destination. Su Zi whipped out her phone, and her expression quickly turned to that of excitement as she exclaimed, "There's a signal here!"
Ye Guan smiled and asked, "Who are you calling?"
"Miss Ling!"
"Xuanyuan Ling?"
"Yes. We’re not that far from Yanjing. The Xuanyuan Clan can definitely rescue us from here.
"All right, sounds great."
Xuanyuan Ling's voice soon echoed from the speakers of Su Zi's phone.
Xuanyuan Ling asked, "Miss Su, is Mr. Ye doing okay?"
"Yes, he's fine," Su Zi replied.
"Okay, give us some time," Xuanyuan Ling said, "I'll be there soon."
The call soon ended, and Su Zi put away her phone before looking around.
The mountain range before them seemed endless, and Su Zi couldn't help but feel worried upon realizing that she had underestimated the mountain range where they were located.
Ye Guan put her down gently on a rock and examined her legs.
The bandages were soaked in her own blood.
Ye Guan asked softly, "It must be painful, isn’t it?"
Su Zi shook her head, but she didn't say anything.
Su Zi's haggard face made Ye Guan feel a tinge of pain in his chest. He hugged her gently and said softly, "You should rest. Don't worry, I'm here.."
Su Zi seemed hesitant. Eventually, she nodded and agreed. "Okay."
Su Zi was completely exhausted, so she soon fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan closed his eyes and started circulating the Universe Beholdment Skill. His eyes lit up, and he was astonished upon realizing that the spiritual energy here was denser than normal.
What’s going on? Ye Guan's curiosity was piqued. He looked around him and thought, Is it because we’re in the mountains?
In the end, Ye Guan decided not to think too much about it and started absorbing the spiritual energy in the air. He didn't hold back at all, as he had exhausted every single particle of profound energy to resist that mysterious force back on the plane.
Two hours later, a helicopter finally appeared on the distant horizon.
Ye Guan opened his eyes slowly and stared at the approaching helicopter. The helicopter descended and hovered a few meters above them. A young woman jumped out of the helicopter, and she was none other than Xuanyuan Ling.
"Mr. Ye, Miss Su!" Xuanyuan Ling shouted while running over to Ye Guan and Su Zi.
Su Zi frowned and soon woke up.
Ye Guan replied, "Miss Xuanyuan, thank you for rescuing us."
"Don’t worry about it," Xuanyuan Ling said with a smile. "Mr. Ye, I want you to Su Zi tightly!"
Xuanyuan Ling then grabbed Ye Guan's shoulders and bent her knees before jumping into the air. The three of them reached the helicopter in the proverbial blink of an eye, but the brief scene still startled Su Zi.
They were so high up, after all.
However, Ye Guan wasn't in the slightest alarmed. If it weren't for the mysterious force suppressing him, he would be able to fly out of the Milky Way with just a single thought on his end.
Xuanyuan Ling asked, "Mr. Ye, were you guys on the plane that recently crashed around here?"
Ye Guan nodded.
"D-did you save everyone?" Xuanyuan Ling asked after a brief hesitation.
Ye Guan nodded again.
Xuanyuan Ling stared deeply at Ye Guan before saying, "Mr. Ye, pardon me for being so direct, but is your cultivation being suppressed?"
Ye Guan was startled, and he asked, "How did you know?"
Xuanyuan Ling fell silent.
She had seen a glimpse of Ye Guan's terrifying sword intent, and she was convinced that it was strong enough to destroy the entire world. Back then, she thought Ye Guan had suffered a terrifying backlash from his sword intent, but it turned out that he was just being suppressed.
I see, so that's how it is. He really is being suppressed, Xuanyuan Ling thought before replying, "I guessed.
A guess? Ye Guan nodded slightly.
He then turned to Su Zi in his arms and asked, "How are you feeling?"
Su Zi smiled and said weakly, "I feel better."
Ye Guan nodded and then turned to Xuanyuan Ling.
"Miss Ling, are you familiar with the Heavenly Dao of this blue planet?"
Xuanyuan Ling replied, "Yes."
"How can I contact him?"
"If you don't mind, can you tell me why you want to contact him?"
"I want to tell him that he's fired!"
Xuanyuan Ling had no idea what to say.
