184: Qin Zihan's tears

"Pfft—" Qin Zihan couldn't help but laugh, then quickly covered her mouth. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you, but this is too abstract. I know you're sensitive and don't know how to face me, but you can't make up such a clumsy excuse. No matter what you are, I can accept it. You misunderstand me; I'm not that kind of materialistic woman."

Lu Chen said indifferently, "Do you remember Jin Yu's wedding last time? I was the one who helped him clear the obstacles."

Qin Zihan remembered, "So when you went to the restroom that time, it was to transform into a superman and fly over to clear the stones? Lu Chen, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. I misjudged you. I can accept you being poor, and I can accept you being a failure, but I cannot accept your insincerity."

Lu Chen waved his hand, "Forget it, too lazy to explain. Let's just do it!"

Lu Chen stretched out his arm and pulled Qin Zihan into his embrace.

The girl's soft body crashed into his firm chest, and the faint jasmine scent from her hair instantly filled his nostrils.

"Lu Chen!" Qin Zihan was both startled and shy. She pushed against his chest with both hands, struggling. "What are you doing! Let go of me! Can you not be so rough!" Her ear tips were so red they almost seemed to bleed.

Lu Chen ignored her protests and simply leaped lightly—

"Swoosh!"

The night wind suddenly whistled past, and Qin Zihan's startled cry pierced the night sky.

She clung tightly to Lu Chen's neck, her wide eyes reflecting the ground growing farther away and the brilliant starry sky close at hand.

"Ah ah ah!" Her voice changed pitch due to shock. "What...what's going on?! Lu Chen! Are we...are we really flying?!" Her fingers unconsciously tightened on Lu Chen's collar, and her entire body pressed against him. "Oh my God! We're really in the sky!"

"Not only can I fly, but I can also teleport," Lu Chen's lips curved into a mysterious smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zihan felt a blur before her eyes, and the surrounding air seemed to solidify instantly.

Before she could react, dazzling golden light rushed towards them—they were standing in the center of a huge gold vault!

Neatly stacked gold bars glinted under the lights, casting a dazzling glow, and the entire space was plated with a layer of extravagant gold.

"This...this..." Qin Zihan's legs turned soft, and she had to tightly grasp Lu Chen's arm to stand steady.

She blinked hard, "Lu Chen, I must miss you too much; I'm actually having such an absurd dream."

Her voice grew softer and softer, and her gaze gradually became hazy.

Since it was a dream... a bold thought suddenly popped into Qin Zihan's mind: since it's a dream, why not... Before Lu Chen could react, the girl had already stood on tiptoe, and her soft lips pressed against his without warning.

Lu Chen instantly froze in place. He could clearly feel Qin Zihan's warm breath and smell the faint jasmine scent in her hair.

Even more shocking to him was that this kiss was far more than a mere taste—Qin Zihan actually took the initiative to pry open his (fill in the blank), and her nimble (fill in the blank), with its awkward yet passionate probing, completely broke down the distance between them.

"Mmm..." Lu Chen's mind went blank, and all his rationality crumbled at this moment.

He had never experienced such a sweet sensation; the girl's lips were like an electric current, making him tremble with every touch.

The cold metallic scent of the vault contrasted sharply with the warm body fragrance of the person in his arms, and this sensory impact made his heart pound so fast it almost burst out of his chest.

Qin Zihan's hands had, at some point, wrapped around his neck, her slender fingers threading through his hair, pulling him closer.

Her movements, though clumsy, were exceptionally passionate, as if she wanted to pour all her month-long yearning into this kiss.

Lu Chen could feel her body trembling slightly, yet she stubbornly deepened the kiss, as if afraid that he would disappear if she let go.

"Ding-dong-dong—" A piercing alarm suddenly blared throughout the entire gold vault, and red warning lights flashed frantically.

Lu Chen sharply opened his eyes and cursed under his breath, "Damn it! My first kiss was interrupted like this!"

He held Qin Zihan with one arm, and with a casual wave of his other hand, all the surveillance equipment instantly turned to dust, and the stored data vanished without a trace.

The next second, a biting mountain wind whistled past, and Qin Zihan shivered, finding herself standing on the highest peak of Tianmen Mountain.

Below was a bottomless abyss, above was a brilliant starry sky, and the cold mountain wind instantly sobered her up.

"This...this really isn't a dream?" Her voice trembled, and the blush on her cheeks spread all the way to her earlobes.

Lu Chen stood beside her, feigning composure, the moonlight casting a silver glow on him. "Of course not. I didn't lie to you; I am indeed a god. You saw the news about the Tokyo Shrine being destroyed, right? I did that."

Qin Zihan's pupils contracted.

Of course, she remembered the shocking global news—images of a mysterious Dragon destroying the Tokyo Shrine had gone viral online.

Her lips trembled slightly, "But...your parents are ordinary people...how could you..."

"It's hard to explain in a short time," Lu Chen interrupted her, and a cluster of crystal-clear water blossoms suddenly condensed in his palm, shimmering with a dreamy glow under the moonlight.

Qin Zihan took half a step back in surprise, "You, what are you going to do?"

Lu Chen's voice suddenly became gentle, "I remember, you made a wish on your high school birthday, wanting me to take you to see the sea."

Qin Zihan's face turned even redder; she hadn't expected him to remember such a small thing.

Lu Chen smiled slightly, "Now, I will fulfill your wish."

With that, he gently tossed the water blossoms in his hand.

In an instant, a vast ocean appeared above the entire Tianmen Mountain! The shimmering seawater rippled in the night sky, reflecting the myriad stars, breathtakingly beautiful.

Qin Zihan looked up, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.

She suddenly turned around, hugged Lu Chen with all her might, and shouted, "I don't care if you're human or a god, I only know you are Lu Chen, and the Lu Chen I love is you! It's you!!!"

Tears flowed from Qin Zihan's eyes.

In this moment, even though Lu Chen constantly warned himself that the Heavenly Dao was ruthless, and not to be affected by these Mortal World emotions, as it would impact his destiny.

But at this moment, the girl in his arms, who was crying for him, was the bright moon of his high school days, the softest memory in his heart.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, tiny teardrops clinging to them, glistening like morning dew in the moonlight.

Lu Chen could clearly see himself reflected in her eyes, filled with undisguised love and affection.

"The Heavenly Dao is ruthless..." Lu Chen silently recited the precepts in his heart, but when Qin Zihan stood on tiptoe and actively offered her trembling lips, all rationality collapsed in an instant. He could no longer restrain himself, bending down to deeply kiss the girl who had haunted his dreams.

This kiss was even more passionate than before, carrying long-suppressed emotions.

Lu Chen held her firmly in his arms.

The two of them had the ocean as their bed and the heavens and earth as their blanket.

"Lu Chen..." Qin Zihan softly called his name, her voice filled with shyness and anticipation.

Skin touched skin, and the temperature was astonishingly high.

It was about to be censored!!

Suddenly! Lu Chen pushed Qin Zihan away.

He knew that if he really took the next step,

Both his and Qin Zihan's Heavenly Dao destiny would be completely altered.

His Heavenly Dao Foundation was still unstable; if he became entangled in the Mortal World, something would definitely go wrong!!

"Qin Zihan, I'm sorry, I, I have an unspeakable difficulty."

Qin Zihan clenched her fists in anger, "What kind of excuse! You're just impotent!!"
