The sky was deep blue, the clouds as white as snow.
In those ten minutes, Lin Qianqian felt as if a lifetime had passed.
After ten minutes, the system displayed the successful completion of the task, and Lu Zhe obtained potential points.
Lu Zhe let out a long breath:
Good heavens, it's finally over!
Do you know how I got through those ten minutes?
He helplessly wiped his mouth and stood up:
"I've sucked up all the venom!"
"Um... Lu Zhe..." Lin Qianqian blushed and lowered her head, "Wasn't it too disgusting?!"
That shy little look, as if afraid of causing Lu Zhe some psychological trauma.
So...
Was it that hard to accept?
Male classmates with similar experiences would understand!
Actually it wasn't!
Lu Zhe casually smiled: "It's not a big deal compared to staying alive!"
"Oh, it's all my fault for being so careless!"
"The danger coefficient is very high in the jungle, it's inevitable to encounter danger, and it's only natural for companions to help each other. How do you feel now?"
"Still a little uncomfortable, but it doesn't get in the way." She said so with her mouth, but looking at her frowning brows, she obviously hadn't fully recovered yet.
"It will still hurt for a while, let's eat something and head back to camp!"
"OK!"
Lu Zhe took out some grilled fish slices, python jerky, coconut water, and the two simply ate something there.
Lu Zhe stood on a rock and took a look: "Going back the same way is neither easy to walk nor meaningful. Let's go to the beach first this time, then walk back from the beach, we can also pick up some treasures!"
Lin Qianqian nodded: "Well, do whatever you say."
However, her legs were still somewhat swollen, and it was very uncomfortable to walk on the beach.
"Still not feeling well, right?"
"Yeah, it hurts a bit when rubbed..."
"Then... let me carry you."
Lin Qianqian was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.
Lu Zhe tied the stone knife behind him, and gallantly picked up Lin Qianqian in a princess carry.
Lin Qianqian curled up in Lu Zhe's arms like a little bird relying on a person: "Sorry for the trouble again."
Lu Zhe casually smiled: "It would be troublesome if you were a guy, but it's fine with a girl!"
Now Lu Zhe's strength and physique had improved significantly compared to before, and he felt Lin Qianqian's weight was no different from a small cat.
Is it troublesome to carry a cat?
Still manageable!
"Lu Zhe..."
"Hmm?"
"Can you not tell the others about me getting bitten by bugs? I don't want everyone to worry."
"No problem."
"Then when we get close to the camp, let me walk by myself, okay?"
Lu Zhe knew that Lin Qianqian was the kind of girl who didn't like to bother others.
If she really couldn't walk, she definitely wouldn't let him carry her.
This request was not excessive.
"Sure!"
Carrying Lin Qianqian, he naturally couldn't pick anything up along the way.
He just walked along the border of the beach and grass, and didn't feel strenuous at all.
Two hours later, the two were close to the camp.
After all, carrying a girl of eighty to ninety pounds continuously for two hours, ordinary people would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago. Lu Zhe was also a little out of breath with flushed cheeks.
Lu Zhe put Lin Qianqian down: "Can you walk back?"
"Yeah, thanks for the hard work!"
At this time, in the camp, Shen Bing was learning how to weave hemp ropes with Ning Shu, while Tang Xiaoguo and Jiang Yao were cooking food.
In less than two days, Shen Bing had become close with several girls and became their confidante big sister.
At this time, seeing that it was getting late and Lu Zhe and Lin Qianqian still hadn't returned, Ning Shu worriedly said:
"Didn't Lu Zhe say he'd be back before 2pm? How come it's so late and they still haven't returned?"
Jiang Yao said, "Maybe the road was hard to walk!"
"I know Lu Zhe well, he's very good at time management."
Ning Shu thought for a moment:
"What do you think, could something have happened between the two of them?"
Tang Xiaoguo worriedly said, "Could they be in danger?"
Ning Shu shook her head: "I believe in Lu Zhe's ability to handle crises. I'm talking about another situation."
Jiang Yao understood immediately. She shrugged: "What could happen! Lin Qianqian doesn't even like boys."
"That's not true!" Tang Xiaoguo thought for a moment:
"Remember how many boys chased Lin Qianqian in school, even more than chased me. But she always politely rejected them and kept them at a distance. But after coming to the island, I haven't seen her behave that way towards Lu Zhe."
Ning Shu nodded: "Yes, she seems to become a normal girl when with Lu Zhe."
After hearing what the girls said, Shen Bing smiled and said, "Let me explain:
From a psychological perspective, this is called dual orientation! Most people exhibit a dominant orientation towards the opposite sex and a latent orientation towards the same sex. They are no different from normal people in daily life, only exhibiting it under specific circumstances.
But Lin Qianqian is different. She exhibits a dominant orientation towards the same sex and a latent orientation towards the opposite sex. Stranded on the deserted island with a lot of interaction with Lu Zhe, she felt this boy was outstanding, so her latent orientation naturally manifested."
Ning Shu was surprised: "My god, Sister Bing you know so much!"
"As a people's defender, I've studied psychology, so I know a thing or two."
Tang Xiaoguo frowned: "So Lin Qianqian is the most dangerous one!"
Jiang Yao thought for a moment: "Remember she said she wanted Lu Zhe to help her get rid of some weird hobbies!"
Ning Shu worriedly said: "Then... could they have really done something inappropriate?"
"What are you thinking!"
Shen Bing smiled and said, "I think Little Zhe and Lin Qianqian are not casual people. You are their friends, you should know them better!"
Hearing Shen Bing say this, Ning Shu nodded: "You're right!"
Tang Xiaoguo thought for a moment, and asked again: "If... I mean if!
They really did something, could we tell from some details?"
"Of course!" Shen Bing confidently pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm professional at this!"
Ning Shu asked: "Then Sister Bing could you tell us!"
"Hmm... anyway you're not kids anymore, so telling you won't hurt.
You can try to observe from several aspects:
First: The boy gets more tired from this kind of thing than the girl. Look for signs like sweat, slight panting, etc. What happens within twenty minutes will usually show, and is hard to completely conceal.
Like his tank top sticking to his skin, messy hair, etc.
Second: Do they seem shy or blushing. Even after it's over, pay close attention and see if they blush looking at each other, or blush alone, and seem preoccupied.
A straightforward girl like Lin Qianqian is easier to discern.
Third: Look at how they walk! For girls who haven't experienced this before, they'll definitely feel uncomfortable afterwards... As she said this, Shen Bing unconsciously adjusted her sitting position: "See if she walks differently from usual, like keeping her legs together, walking very slowly, then you know what happened!"
After hearing this, the three girls were all surprised!
"Sister Bing, you're so amazing to know all this!"
Shen Bing casually smiled: "Don't forget, sis deals with criminals all day, I'm professional at reading people!"
Just as she finished saying this, Lu Zhe and Lin Qianqian walked back from afar!

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
