401: Lei Wujie: I feel like I've finally grown a brain.

Her heart felt like it was about to leap out of her chest. Huang Rong felt extremely nervous, yet she did not stop Duan Zhengchun's actions.

Huang Rong mustered her courage, lifted her head, and closed her eyes.

Faced with this scene, how could Duan Zhengchun possibly restrain himself? He directly sealed her soft, red lips.

Such a place was not suitable for this sort of thing, so Duan Zhengchun immediately led Huang Rong away from there.

Huang Rong also knew what was about to happen next, but she had absolutely no experience in this area.

She could only allow Duan Zhengchun to take her to a luxurious restaurant, where he booked a premium room and led her straight inside.

To the Shopkeeper, this kind of thing was already a common sight.

After Duan Zhengchun brought Huang Rong into the room, he didn't act immediately, but instead looked at her with a smile on his face.

“Have you decided? Once tonight passes, there will be no chance for regrets.”

Hearing Duan Zhengchun's words, Huang Rong trembled all over. She took a deep breath and looked up at him.

“Can you really not see my heart? If I didn't like you, why would I have chased you to Snow Moon City? And then from Snow Moon City to the Kingdom? Do you know how I've lived during this time?”

“If you weren't willing to accept me, why did you bring me here?”

“I have already thought it through, and I am mentally prepared.”

“If you are willing to accept me, then let us do what we should do. If you don't, I won't force you.”

“I just want to grasp the happiness that belongs to me.” Huang Rong looked at Duan Zhengchun with a serious expression, her tone carrying an unprecedented firmness.

Duan Zhengchun naturally understood Huang Rong's feelings. The reason he asked was to ensure she had considered it clearly and wasn't acting on a momentary impulse.

After all, he had many women around him; it was impossible for him to be devoted to her alone.

“Since that's the case, I understand. After today, you are my, Duan Zhengchun's, woman.”

“From now on, no one in the Nine Provinces Continent will dare to bully you,” Duan Zhengchun nodded.

A smile appeared at the corners of Huang Rong's mouth as she moved closer to Duan Zhengchun's side.

This night was destined to be restless; the red curtains swayed all night before finally settling down.

In the morning at the small town, Lei Wujie, Tang Lian, and Xiao Se had all gotten up, only to find that the door to Duan Zhengchun and Huang Rong's room was still closed.

The three of them glanced at each other, each seeing the doubt in the others' eyes.

They didn't think the two would be together; otherwise, it would be impossible for them not to hear any movement.

“Old Tang, tell me, what are Brother-in-law and that Miss Huang doing in the room? Why can't we hear any movement at all?” Lei Wujie whispered.

“What exactly do you want to hear?” Tang Lian looked at Lei Wujie with a strange expression.

Had this guy's entire brain gone into his martial arts practice? What had he just said about him yesterday?

How could he still ask such an idiotic question today?

The girl came all this way for your brother-in-law, and the sun is already high in the sky, yet their room door is still closed. Anyone with half a brain would know something happened.

You actually have the nerve to ask such a question; you really are a guy who never learns his lesson.

“No, I mean, it's almost noon. They haven't woken up yet? We still have to get on the road,” Lei Wujie said.

Tang Lian was completely speechless. He shook his head helplessly and stopped looking at Lei Wujie.

Xiao Se also shook his head with a look of helplessness.

This guy was beyond saving. This kind of thing simply couldn't be taught.

However, it was understandable when he thought about it. After all, this guy was still a green youth who didn't understand the affairs between men and women at all.

“Alright, just shut up. If you're hungry, order something to eat.”

“If you're bored, go out for a stroll. Don't worry about things you shouldn't worry about,” Xiao Se spoke up helplessly.

“Wait, what do you mean by that? We eat by ourselves? That wouldn't be right, would it?” Lei Wujie frowned.

Xiao Se was utterly speechless. He stood up and left the inn.

Tang Lian quickly followed. He really didn't want to stay with this guy who had zero emotional intelligence anymore.

Lei Wujie watched the two of them leave and was completely dazed. What was the situation? Why did they just leave in the middle of talking?

“Wait for me! Where are you going?” Lei Wujie stood up to give chase.

“Don't follow us. Go play by yourself; we're going out for a walk,” Tang Lian waved his hand and left without looking back.

“Don't be like that! Wait for me, let's go together.” There was no way Lei Wujie would stay behind alone, so he quickly caught up.

Tang Lian and Xiao Se glanced at each other, both showing looks of helplessness in their eyes.

This guy was truly beyond saving.

In the blink of an eye, Lei Wujie caught up with the two and draped his arms over their shoulders.

“No, what's the meaning of this, you two? Going out to have fun without bringing me?” Lei Wujie said with a look of displeasure.

“Sorry, my parents don't let me play with idiots,” Tang Lian said with an innocent face.

“Pfft...”

Hearing Tang Lian's words, Xiao Se couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

Lei Wujie's face turned completely dark. What was the meaning of this?

“Old Tang, what's your deal? Are you calling me an idiot?” Lei Wujie roared, grabbing Tang Lian by the neck.

“Look at you, look at you, getting anxious again. I didn't say I wouldn't play with you; I just said I don't play with idiots. Are you an idiot?” Tang Lian looked at Lei Wujie solemnly.

This time, not only was Lei Wujie stunned, even Xiao Se was stunned.

Lei Wujie looked at Tang Lian with a face full of confusion.

“Isn't that nonsense? How could I be an idiot? You're the idiot.”

“Have you ever seen an idiot reach the Great Grandmaster level at my age?”

The moment the Grandmaster Realm was mentioned, Lei Wujie's face was full of pride.

“Yes, yes, yes, you're the most formidable, you're the smartest.”

“You're smarter than both of us. See, I'm only at the Grandmaster Realm while you're already a Great Grandmaster.”

“Xiao Se doesn't have any martial arts at all. Compared to you, the two of us are the idiots,” Tang Lian nodded solemnly.

“Hmph... as long as you realize it. Let's go, where are you guys headed? Let's go together!” Lei Wujie looked at Tang Lian triumphantly.

“Well, I just remembered I left something in my room. You guys chat, I'll be right back!” Before Lei Wujie could answer, Tang Lian's figure had already vanished.

Xiao Se opened his mouth, but it was already too late to stop him.

There was nothing he could do. Back then, his martial arts were crippled and his Meridians were damaged. Now he was just an ordinary person; in fact, his constitution was even worse than a normal person's.

It was too late for him to try and keep up.

Lei Wujie's expression was a bit strange. He didn't know why, but ever since they encountered the assassination attempt on their journey, both Tang Lian and Xiao Se had become a bit odd.

Lei Wujie and the others didn't know that Duan Zhengchun and Huang Rong weren't even in the room; they were still in the city, dozens of kilometers away from there.

It would be a miracle if they could hear any movement... In the Beiliang Princes Estate, Xu Xiao held the message that had been sent back, his face turning cloudy and uncertain.

The strategist beside him, Li Yishan, remained as calm as ever, though a hint of worry lingered in the depths of his eyes.

“Dammit! This Prince sent two such important people, yet this guy only promised to act once. He looks down on This Prince too much!” Xu Xiao slapped the table, his face dark.

“It was to be expected. It's already good enough that he didn't just take everything and refuse to acknowledge the debt.”

“After all, we didn't follow his requirements either. However, a single opportunity for him to act is not bad.”
