88: Chapter 88 The incompetent Xia Ling Shuang, trying to run away after eating?!

The night passed in silence, save for the violent storm battering the stone cave, sketching out a magnificent symphony.

The next day.

Lin Ran was the first to wake. Looking down, he could spot a smear of crimson as vivid as a rose on the smooth ground.

Meng Qing was curled up in his arms, her breathing steady and long, with undried, crystal-clear teardrops still hanging on her long eyelashes.

"Meng Qing..."

"If I recall correctly, the hegemon of Qingzhou—Qingyu Pavilion, its Pavilion Master is Meng Qing."

"Did I just... sleep with the Empress Pavilion Master?!"

Lin Ran pondered incessantly, his gaze flickering.

It was fortunate that he had made Meng Qing swear a Heavenly Dao oath yesterday, promising she would not attack him afterward; otherwise, he would only want to take Xia Lingshuang and leave this place of trouble right now.

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing the Heavenly Mandate Mission!】

【Reward: 13000 destiny points, Innate Pure Yang Breakthrough to the fourth rank!】

Lin Ran accepted the reward and turned to look at the beauty in his arms.

Meng Qing had an exquisite oval face. Beneath her glowing, jade-white forehead was a pair of peach-blossom eyes filled with autumn ripples, with a faint pink blush around them.

She had a petite, exquisite nose, and pink, pouting cherry lips, with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.

Beneath her slender, snowy neck were surging waves like a raging sea, rising and falling with each breath, trembling and swaying.

Lin Ran gasped softly. For someone like Meng Qing, who couldn't see her own toes when looking down, wasn't it tiring to carry such huge burdens?!

In front of Meng Qing, not to mention Li Huayin or Su Xiyue, even Yan Ruyu paled in comparison!

Moving further down was that soft, slender waist that could be encircled by a mere grip.

Her slim figure was exquisite and curvaceous, making her buttocks appear even firmer and rounder, captivating the heart.

Those beautiful legs, like ivory white jade, were gently intertwined, adding a touch of charm to her.

"She is truly worthy of being called the number one beauty of Qingzhou, the Pavilion Master of Qingyu Pavilion!"

Even Lin Ran couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hmm..."

"The poison in this Empress's body doesn't seem to have been fully expelled yet. Let us... continue."

Suddenly, Meng Qing let out a soft moan, slightly opened her dazed sleepy eyes, and wobbled as she got up and pounced over.

Thud!

Meng Qing crashed into him; Lin Ran was instantly knocked to the ground.

Just as he was about to get up, two massive, milky-white snow-globes pressed down onto his chest, pinning him so firmly he could barely move, making it hard to breathe.

At this moment, Lin Ran just wanted to turn the tables and become the master.

After all, being suppressed by Meng Qing like this was simply damaging to his dignity as the Holy Son of the Flying Immortal Sect; he had to suppress Meng Qing in return!

"Husband, don't tease~"

Meng Qing's left hand ran through Lin Ran's hair, supporting the back of his head, and she kissed him with a dazed expression.

Her right hand slid down along Lin Ran's chest...

Lin Ran couldn't break free, nor could he turn the passive into the active. For a moment, he felt life was meaningless and had to let Meng Qing do as she pleased.

Outside the cave, hearing the symphony start up again, Xia Lingshuang stamped her feet in anger and paced back and forth incessantly.

She felt like an incompetent wife at this moment, able only to eavesdrop on Lin Ran and Meng Qing's pleasure from the outside, unable to do anything.

"Damned lecher! Men in this world are all the same!!!"

"I'm so furious! This damned unfaithful radish!!!"

Xia Lingshuang gritted her teeth, wishing she could slice Lin Ran into pieces with a single sword strike.

He spoke sweet nothings to her, yet turned around and threw himself into the arms of other women. In her eyes, Lin Ran was simply not human right now!!!

...

The sun was high in the sky.

Inside the cave, Lin Ran and Meng Qing each put on their clothes, remaining silent.

"Ahem! You were calling me 'husband' every other breath just now, why are you not speaking now?"

Lin Ran coughed lightly and asked tentatively.

"You! Shut up!"

Meng Qing's face flushed red as blood, and she gritted her teeth, glaring at Lin Ran.

Remembering that she had been the one to actively push Lin Ran down just now, she felt a wave of shame.

Although Lin Ran was indeed a bit handsome and his aura was a bit alluring, as the Pavilion Master of Qingyu Pavilion, how could she have been so proactive just now?!

She couldn't quite understand it.

"Meng Qing, what exactly happened in Qingzhou? As the Pavilion Master of Qingyu Pavilion, how did you end up in such a state?"

Lin Ran asked.

"This has nothing to do with you. In short, the current situation in Qingzhou is very bad. Go back to wherever you came from."

"You had better forget about today's events; otherwise, it will do you no good."

Meng Qing sighed and waved her hand.

Lin Ran's eyes narrowed slightly.

【Ding! Detected that the Host has triggered a new Heavenly Mandate Mission. Please read the following content yourself!】

【You want to pull up your pants and deny everything after eating This Son of Heavenly Mandate? You want to have all the good things for yourself?!】

【Mission: Conquer Meng Qing!】

【Reward: A mysterious gift pack (a very, very big gift package, with absolutely no filler at all~)】

As the System's voice faded, Lin Ran gradually closed in on Meng Qing.

"You... what do you want?!"

"This Empress warns you, although this Empress has sworn a Heavenly Dao oath not to attack you, that is not a reason for you to act recklessly toward this Empress!"

Meng Qing radiated the pressure of an Empress, but her delicate body subconsciously took a step back.

"Slap!"

Lin Ran grabbed Meng Qing's wrist and pinned her against the rock wall. As his body gradually leaned forward, it was intercepted by two unknown objects:

"Meng Qing, want to run after eating This Holy Son? What do you take This Holy Son for?!"

Looking at the domineering Lin Ran, Meng Qing felt her mind go blank, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Lin Ran didn't give her a chance to speak, bowing his head to kiss those cherry lips.

"Hmm..."

Meng Qing clearly hadn't expected Lin Ran to be so bold. Knowing full well that she was the Pavilion Master of Qingyu Pavilion and a contemporary Empress, he still dared to kiss her like this.

Could it be that relying on the Heavenly Dao oath, Lin Ran really dared to do whatever he wanted with her?!

However, as Lin Ran's kiss gradually deepened and became rougher and more violent, her heart began to overflow, and the pink blush around her eyes deepened.

She seemed to recall last night, her cheeks suddenly turning crimson, flushed as if intoxicated, her eyes rippling with emotion.

"Meng Qing, Pavilion Master Meng!"

"This Holy Son tells you, you are This Holy Son's woman for the rest of your life, and no one can change that!"

"You, don't even think about escaping for the rest of your life!"

Lin Ran leaned into Meng Qing's ear, breathing out hot breaths, kissing her beautiful cheeks, and slowly kissing downward.

Meng Qing's delicate body trembled, with white steam even rising from her head, her heart beating like a war drum.

She gently pushed Lin Ran away, fleeing the place in a mix of shame, shyness, and anger.

"I have already warned you, whether you leave or not is up to you!"

"When something happens, don't expect this Empress to help you!"

By the time Lin Ran walked out of the cave, Meng Qing was nowhere to be seen.

【Ding! Detected that Meng Qing's favorability has increased by 15 points!】

【Reward: 8000 destiny points!】

【Current favorability of Meng Qing: 35!】
