32: Chapter 32 A Joke? Yan Ruyu's Genuine Feelings Revealed

Lin Ran slowly opened his eyes, a wicked smile curling the corners of his lips as he blurted out:

"What a truly excellent Physical Body. In this life, I will surely ascend to the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens!"

He did not notice the tear stains on Yan Ruyu's face, nor did he see the heartbreak in her eyes; otherwise, he certainly would not have played this joke on her.

Wasn't this just asking for death!?

Sure enough, upon hearing these few words, the color drained instantly from Yan Ruyu's face. Her heart felt as if it had stopped beating, and the pain made it difficult for her to breathe.

But quickly, she gritted her teeth, her eyes turning scarlet, and a monstrous, surging Killing Intent rose from her entire body:

"I don't care who you are, but this Physical Body does not belong to you, and I will not allow you to run amok in the Zhangming Emperor Realm using it!"

As she spoke, she summoned her long whip, the terrifying Killing Intent causing even Lin Ran's Divine Soul to tremble at that moment.

Lin Ran's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the extremely serious expression on Yan Ruyu's face and that palpable, solidified Killing Intent, he admitted that he was a little scared.

This... had he gone too far?!

"Martial Aunt, wait! It's me, Lin Ran! I was just joking with you!"

Seeing the long whip in Yan Ruyu's hand about to strike him, Lin Ran became truly terrified and hurriedly waved his hands to beg for mercy.

"You... you... are you really Lin Ran?!"

Yan Ruyu looked at Lin Ran with disbelief.

"Martial Aunt, of course it's me. What kind of decent person would deliberately say those things to expose themselves after a successful Possession?"

Lin Ran gave a sheepish smile.

Yan Ruyu tremblingly reached out her hands and pulled the exiled immortal before her into her embrace, feeling as if it were all a dream.

"You... are you really Lin Ran?!"

Her voice was still trembling; she still couldn't believe it.

That remnant soul of a great emperor really hadn't succeeded in the Possession of Lin Ran?

"Martial Aunt, have you forgotten? I awakened the first Origin Divine Ability of the Destiny Immortal Body. The Destiny Calculation can not only kill enemies but also protect my Divine Soul. How could a mere remnant soul of a great emperor manage to perform a Possession on me?"

"Besides, it was my plan from the very beginning."

"I deliberately exposed the Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation Sword Bone in front of him with the goal of inciting the greed in his heart, intentionally letting him attempt the Possession so that I could better destroy him!"

"Otherwise, if he had escaped, it would have been quite troublesome."

Lin Ran gently held Yan Ruyu, his movements tender and delicate as he wiped the undried tear stains from her face.

He naturally could not let Huang Jiuxuan go, not just because of the Heavenly Mandate Mission, but also because the opponent was a remnant soul of a great emperor!

Given Huang Jiuxuan's greed, he certainly wouldn't have handed over the dark devouring sword for nothing.

If he were allowed to escape, it would be troublesome if he were to return to kill later.

Lin Ran would absolutely not allow any existence that threatened him to appear!

Hearing this, Yan Ruyu was finally certain that the exiled immortal in her arms was undoubtedly Lin Ran!

The Destiny Calculation was indeed capable of protecting the Divine Soul; for Huang Jiuxuan's remnant soul to attempt to perform a Possession on Lin Ran was simply wishful thinking!

It was just that she had been anxious earlier, her mind had gone blank, and she had forgotten this point.

"Thump!"

Suddenly, Lin Ran's head was struck heavily, causing him to grimace in pain and gasp for air.

"You little scoundrel, Little Ranran! Inducing that remnant soul of a great emperor to attempt a Possession was one thing, but after destroying that remnant soul, you actually dared to tease your Martial Aunt on purpose. Tell me, are you just bored?!"

After saying this, Yan Ruyu still wasn't satisfied; she placed her hands on Lin Ran's waist and pinched hard.

"Hiss—"

"Martial Aunt, I was wrong, please spare me this one time!"

Lin Ran begged for mercy repeatedly in pain.

Seeing this, Yan Ruyu finally let go, then turned to pull him tightly into her embrace again.

Crystal-clear teardrops welled up in her eyes, shimmering with a dazzling light.

Yan Ruyu said in a choked voice:

"Little Ranran, do you know? When I saw that remnant soul of a great emperor enter your Sea of Consciousness to perform a Possession on you, my heart was about to break, and I was on the verge of a breakdown."

"I didn't know how I would face Sister Su and the others if you had been subjected to a Possession."

"Just now, your Martial Aunt was really, really worried about you, do you understand?"

Looking at Yan Ruyu, who was revealing her true feelings and shedding tears, Lin Ran pursed his lips, a wave of guilt washing over him.

He reached out his right hand, gently wiping away the teardrops from the corners of Yan Ruyu's eyes, and said in a gentle tone:

"I'm sorry, Martial Aunt. It's my fault for making you so worried."

Yan Ruyu gently grabbed his right hand, wiped away her own tears, and then pouted:

"Since you know you've wronged me, how are you going to compensate me?"

"Compensation, huh?"

Lin Ran smiled slightly and pulled his right hand, drawing Yan Ruyu closer to him until their Physical Bodies were pressed against each other, almost seamless.

He leaned down slightly and kissed Yan Ruyu's red lips.

Yan Ruyu did not speak, did not refuse, and was even too shy to look at Lin Ran.

But she took the initiative to pry open Lin Ran's teeth, lingering in a bone-deep intimacy, her hands hugging him tightly, tighter and tighter.

After kissing for a long while, Lin Ran finally parted his lips from Yan Ruyu's, smiling as if bathed in a spring breeze: "Martial Aunt, are you satisfied with this compensation?"

Yan Ruyu lay entirely in his arms, burying her whole face in his chest.

She lowered her head shyly, her lips slightly pouting, and hummed softly:

"It's barely acceptable, but I haven't forgiven you just yet!"

"Little Ranran, promise your Martial Aunt you won't take such risks again in the future, okay?"

Lin Ran rubbed the top of Yan Ruyu's hair, his voice so gentle it was cloying:

"Don't worry, Martial Aunt. I definitely won't do anything without being certain of success."

"Hmph, that's more like it!"

Yan Ruyu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a heartfelt smile.

【Ding! Detected an increase of 10 points in Yan Ruyu's favorability!】

【Reward: 13,000 destiny points, ultimate meridian enlightenment pill!】

【Current favorability of Yan Ruyu: 95!】

Looking at the fact that Yan Ruyu's favorability had already reached a full 95 points, Lin Ran couldn't help but gasp in his heart.

Only a few days had passed, and Yan Ruyu's favorability had already reached such a high level.

With 95 favorability, I fear that if I were to force myself upon Yan Ruyu right now, pinning her to the ground and rubbing against her fiercely amidst all sorts of moans, she would likely only respond while trembling all over.

"ultimate meridian enlightenment pill?"

Lin Ran looked at the ultimate meridian enlightenment pill he had just obtained in the System space, lost in thought.

The ultimate meridian enlightenment pill was also an extraordinary Medicinal Pill; it could help living beings break the shackles within their Bloodline and improve their Bloodline Rank.

Lin Ran guessed that the ultimate meridian enlightenment pill should be suitable for Yan Ruyu to use.

After all, she possessed a succubus Bloodline and could rely on the ultimate meridian enlightenment pill to improve her Bloodline Rank.

However, Lin Ran would not give the ultimate meridian enlightenment pill to Yan Ruyu right now; he had to find a good opportunity...

"Hum!"

Just at this moment, a dazzling golden ball of light shot out rapidly from the fissure left behind when the dark devouring sword had flown up from the ground.

"It's the dragon phoenix spirit!"
