章 140: Chapter 135: Tea Art Master Comes Online, Gradually Winning Over the Goddess' Heart!_1
Sunset Forest.
"Rustling!"
The sound of people's pant legs brushing against the underbrush echoed.
A man and a woman walked ahead.
The man was handsome and majestic, looking relaxed as he enjoyed the scenery of the jungle.
The woman was a sexy and mature figure, with a curvy body, wearing an oversized robe that revealed her fair and delicate legs.
Though she seemed to be looking straight ahead, her lips were slightly bitten as she sneakily glanced at the man beside her with the corner of her eye.
Her gaze was extremely complex, as if it contained many special emotions.
Both were silently hurrying forward without saying a word.
Huang Yuan and the three Blue Tyrant Academy students were following behind, whispering and gossiping with a peculiar and curious expression.
One of them lowered his voice, "What do you think is going on between Principal Erlong and our benefactor?"
Another student rolled his eyes, looking disdainful, "Are you blind? Can't you see? What else could it be? Principal Erlong has lost her clothes. Can't you deduce it yourself?"
"No way, they've only known each other for a short time, it can't have developed that fast."
"What else do you think could happen between a man and a woman who enter the underbrush alone, especially after staying there that long? Didn't you notice Principal Erlong's face was red when she came out?"
"Which of you has ever seen the Principal blush for another man?"
Huang Yuan frowned and interjected, "Although your analysis makes sense, I still believe that our Principal Erlong is not that kind of casual woman."
"Please, focus on the details, understand?!" the young man gathered his companions closer and whispered into their ears, "Look carefully, isn't Erlong's walking a bit limp right now?"
Huang Yuan and another student immediately looked forward and indeed found that Liu Erlong was walking somewhat abnormally.
"Erlong was walking fine before she entered the forest, but once she came out with that man, she started limping. Do I need to spell out the rest...?"
Huang Yuan and the other student were at a loss for words for a moment.
The young man folded his arms, looking smug, "There's only one truth."
"Hiss!"
Huang Yuan gasped, eyes wide with shock.
The other student was also full of astonishment.
They watched the Soul Sage level Principal Erlong walking with difficulty and were greatly impressed by Luo Yu.
It was frightening.
Huang Yuan and the others were gossiping in the back.
Liu Erlong kept scanning the surroundings and then asked with confusion, "Are we not heading in the direction away from Sunset Forest?"
Luo Yu's gaze shifted back from the surrounding landscape, shaking his head at the mature beauty.
"Of course not."
Liu Erlong's Beautiful Eyes narrowed as she asked warily, "Then where are you taking us?"
Luo Yu waved his hand, "Don't be so nervous. If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't need to find a special place. Executing you on the spot would not be a problem."
Liu Erlong was rendered speechless by the retort and pressed, "Then what do you intend to do?"
Luo Yu chuckled lightly, "I see you've come to Sunset Forest this time, probably to help those three get a Soul Ring. If we just leave like this, wouldn't it be a fruitless return?"
Liu Erlong's expression froze, not expecting Luo Yu to be so observant.
Her lips displayed a bitter smile as she said helplessly, "What can I do? The journey has not been smooth, and with my current physical condition, I can only go back to recuperate. I'll have to come back another time."
"Then what do you think I am about to do now?" Luo Yu smiled.
Liu Erlong stared at him with surprise, "You're not going to take the initiative to help us kill a soul beast, are you?"
Luo Yu shrugged, indicating affirmation.
Liu Erlong's expression was complicated as she hesitated, "Why are you being so good to us?"
Luo Yu spread his hands, "Who made me bully you just now? A small favor can be considered compensation for what I did to you."
Did what? What kind of thing did the benefactor do to the Principal??
Huang Yuan and his companions had been all ears, eavesdropping on the conversation.
At the words 'bully' and 'compensation,' their mouths dropped open in shock.
This incriminating language, an inappropriate relationship confirmed, confirmed!!
Liu Erlong blushed, her gaze flitting away, too embarrassed to look at Luo Yu.
She involuntarily remembered the scene where the man sucked out the snake poison for her; it was too shameful.
In the end, she sighed, "You didn't bully me, in fact, I can understand all that happened just now. I shouldn't blame you, I ought to thank you."
"I know women value their chastity," Luo Yu winked, "Don't worry, I'm a man of honor, and I will take responsibility for you."
Liu Erlong shivered at the man's sudden declaration.
She waved her hands frantically.
"What are you talking about, responsibility, and all that."
"And... stop saying things like that."
"Actually, I've liked someone for many years now."
Luo Yu replied with a smile, "What are you nervous about? I was just joking earlier."
Upon hearing Luo Yu's explanation, Liu Erlong's already taut mood did not relax but instead, a strange discontent surged from within.
So...
It was all just a joke to him—
Luo Yu continued, "You said you have someone you like?"
"I guess, given your beautiful and sensible mature character, the man you like must be very strong."
"That's not enough. I think just having those qualities doesn't nearly make him worthy of you. I bet he's got to be very good-looking and caring towards you, right?"
As she listened to Luo Yu speak, Liu Erlong's mind filled with memories of Yu Xiaogang.
Handsome?
Strong?
Caring for her?
Do any of these attributes relate to Yu Xiaogang? It doesn't seem like he has any of them.
A tremor suddenly went through Liu Erlong's heart.
What, exactly, had she been fixating on all these years?
She began to ponder a question she had never considered before.
Is waiting in vain for all these years worth it...?
"Sigh..." Luo Yu suddenly let out a long sigh.
Liu Erlong asked, "Why did you sigh?"
Luo Yu looked straight into Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes with a magnetic voice.
"To be honest, I had started to feel affection for you, but I didn't expect you to already have someone you liked."
"That's so unfortunate."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Liu Erlong turned her head away and spat lightly, "We've only met for so short a time, who would believe what you say? You are clearly just teasing me."
"Fair ladies provoke men's interest. A good man is a lady's match."
"You are so beautiful, with such a great figure, and most importantly, when you faced the attack of three soul beasts.
You would rather fight to the death than abandon your students to escape alone. Which man wouldn't be moved by that?"
Liu Erlong's gaze flickered as she listened to the man pour out his heart.
What woman doesn't like to be praised?
What woman can resist a man so fine confessing to her?
Liu Erlong forced herself to suppress the palpitations in her heart and shook her head, "You... you can't like me, I really do have someone I've liked for a long time."
Luo Yu asked, "Can you tell me, what kind of man is so admirable that you've been unable to forget him all these years?"
At that moment, Liu Erlong was somewhat shy and hesitated to speak.
In terms of looks, how could Yu Xiaogang compare to the man before her?
As for strength, this man could probably explode Yu Xiaogang with a single punch.
And when it came to being thoughtful, he might also fall short. Where was Yu Xiaogang when she faced danger? It was this man before her who saved her time and time again.
"I understand, I wish you happiness then. I hope that lucky man cherishes you well," Luo Yu said before turning to leave.
Watching his lonely figure moving ahead, Liu Erlong's heart clenched.
Was it worth rejecting such a fine man for the sake of Yu Xiaogang, who had been gone for years and didn't care about her wellbeing?
Her lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with unspoken grievances as she looked at Luo Yu.
I haven't said anything yet.
What do you understand?!
Leaving so quickly.
The corners of Luo Yu's mouth curved up slightly as he faced away.
He had just performed quite a drama of a tea connoisseur.
The essence of the tea.
But there was no other way, how else could he change Liu Erlong's mind without making a bold move?
Actually, he wasn't lying.
Which man wouldn't take to a beautiful, intelligent, and passionately devoted woman like Liu Erlong?
"Roar!!"
A sudden roar of a beast came from nearby…
