Chapter 24 Arrival (2/2)

But they gained nothing.

Although she couldn't be sure if the other party was from the cultivation world, she was certain that this man's strength was not to be underestimated, a discovery that made her even more suspicious.

Who exactly is this man? If he's from the cultivation world, he must have arrived earlier than me.

Otherwise, why couldn't she detect this guy's cultivation level at all? The only explanation is that his strength is far above hers, so high that she can't even begin to fathom it.

Based on everything that had happened before, Ruan Tang could almost conclude that this guy was very likely her "fellow villager".

What alarmed her even more was another discovery.

As long as she has any physical contact with Yan Yu, even just the slightest touch of her fingertips, her spiritual root will frantically and actively absorb the spiritual energy from the remaining spiritual spring water in her body, as if it were raining after a long drought.

The spiritual root was able to absorb spiritual energy after contact, but Ruomu next to it was wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, and no one knew why.

While Ruan Tang was secretly observing and probing, the man she was silently watching was already experiencing a surge of emotions, like flowers in full bloom and oil being boiled in a blazing fire.

It's so beautiful I'm almost disoriented!

The little girl has finally started paying attention to herself!

From feigning sleep to avoid eye contact when boarding the bus, to cautiously sharing dumplings later, and now... her gaze, both shy and unabashedly focused on her...

Hehe, the little girl likes herself!

This discovery instantly sent an indescribable surge of joy through Yan Yu's heart, almost causing him to lose his icy composure.

She must have been moved by his love and "ability"!

Look at the way that little girl is looking at me, she's definitely mesmerized!

Yan Yu had already started planning how to get their marriage certificate as soon as possible after getting off the car, to settle their status, where the house would be built, and which ring in his spatial storage would be more suitable for his little girl...

Yan Yu's imagination ran wild, and he almost came up with a dozen or so names for their child.

His eyes shone even brighter as he stared at the little girl, as if he wanted to transform into a wolf on the spot.

Ruan Tang, who had been observing the man, was bewildered by the astonishingly bright look in his eyes.

Time slipped away quietly, second by second, in this harmonious yet eerie atmosphere of silent observation and frantic self-conquest.

The sky outside the window changed from a beautiful evening to a deep, dark black, and then quietly began to lighten with the first light of dawn in the latter half of the night.

Finally, a red sun rose above the horizon.

"Attention passengers, the next stop is Jilin Provincial Railway Station..."

The monotonous announcements inside the carriage broke the silence.

With a hiss, the train slowly came to a stop, propelled by its immense inertia.

Yan Yu stood up almost the instant the train came to a complete stop.

With a swift movement, he reached out his long arm and took Ruan Tang's leather suitcase off the luggage rack, placing it steadily on the ground.

Then, he casually picked up Ruan Tang's backpack and slung it in front of him, while tossing his own large backpack behind him.

Then, he bent down and picked up Ruan Tang and his own suitcase, one in each hand.

After doing all this, Yan Yu turned to the side, gesturing for Ruan Tang to help him take his military satchel.

At the same time, he tilted his head slightly, tapped the backpack behind him with his chin, and spoke in a deep voice that left no room for argument.

"Take my bag and hold on tight to my backpack strap."

He paused, then added, "Stay close to me, we're getting off." (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
