Evening Interlude: The Two Arrive in Jiangcheng

The Su Family Villa.

"Munch, munch, munch."

Su Muwan happily devoured the skewers Qin Luo had brought back, her curiosity piqued as she glanced at him. "Qin Luo, you said you went out to look up some information. How did it go?"

"Is it about that bronze cauldron?"

As she spoke, Su Muwan found it particularly strange.

Since when did Qin Luo take such an interest in something?

Qin Luo nodded casually, "Yeah, to put it simply..."

He paused for a moment, under Su Muwan's curious gaze, and then smiled. "We're definitely going to cross paths with the Alliance sooner or later."

Su Muwan nodded, "Oh... Huh?!"

Her expression froze, and she stared at Qin Luo in disbelief. "What?"

Wait a minute!

You just went out to look up some information, and now it involves the Alliance?

Su Muwan took a deep breath, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "Qin Luo, are you saying the Alliance will come after us because of that bronze cauldron?"

She shook her head almost immediately. "No, no, no, that can't be. It's just a small, broken cauldron..."

"Exactly, that's what I mean."

"..."

One second, two seconds, three seconds passed.

Su Muwan's eyes widened, her skewer held mid-air, her mind reeling with shock.

What?!

Why does this keep happening?!

Seeing Su Muwan's stunned expression, Qin Luo couldn't help but tease her. "What's wrong, Miss? You're not scared the Alliance will come after us, are you?"

At this, Su Muwan snapped out of her daze. She glared at Qin Luo and snorted, "Scared?!"

"Don't be ridiculous!"

"Who has this young lady ever been afraid of?"

"If the Alliance dares to come, I'll make sure they regret it!"

Clap, clap, clap!

Qin Luo applauded, impressed. "As expected of the young lady."

"Hmph!"

Su Muwan let out a proud little huff, though inwardly she was on the verge of tears.

Wuwuwu...

I'm so stupid, really. I should have known better than to mess with T0-level items.

Look at this, look at this! Trouble always finds its way to me.

Even though nothing has happened yet, Qin Luo's words are probably 90% accurate.

After all...

I have full confidence in my ability to attract trouble.

Sigh!

Life is hard, and Muwan sighs.

Anyway!

Let's eat first and deal with the rest later!

.....

......

That night.

Qin Luo held a towel, grinning as he watched Su Muwan brush her teeth. "Miss, after you finish brushing, wipe your little face."

Su Muwan, now dressed in her shark pajamas, glanced at the eager Qin Luo.

She rolled her eyes inwardly.

Hmph!

Last night you were all conflicted, and now you're acting like this?

"Gurgle~!"

"Pah!"

After brushing her teeth, Su Muwan tilted her little face up toward Qin Luo, her eyes closed.

She was signaling for him to wipe her face.

Seeing this, Qin Luo smiled and obliged.

He really wanted to slap his past self. Qin Luo, you were being too pretentious.

Isn't it nice to be with the sweet and soft young lady?

Swish, swish.

"Mmm..."

Su Muwan's face was covered by the towel, and she let out muffled sounds, like a kitten purring.

Her adorable demeanor made Qin Luo unable to resist reaching under the towel to gently pinch her cheek.

"Ying..."

Su Muwan's body slightly resisted, letting out a soft murmur.

Sss!

Qin Luo already found Su Muwan brushing her teeth incredibly cute, but now she was even more so.

He took a deep breath, a smile tugging at his lips.

Plop!

The towel slipped from his hand and fell to the floor.

His heartbeat quickened along with the sound of the towel hitting the ground.

Su Muwan felt Qin Luo pinching her cheek, and her heart skipped a beat.

On the surface, she pouted slightly, opened her eyes, and pretended to complain, "Qin Luo, what are you... Mmm!"

Before she could finish, her pupils dilated.

Qin Luo cupped her face, leaned down, and gently kissed her lips.

Thump! Thump!

A sweet, honey-like taste filled the air.

"Mmm..."

Su Muwan's heart raced, her cheeks burning hot.

The warm touch left her mind blank, unable to speak.

How long had passed?

Their lips parted.

Su Muwan's body went limp, collapsing into Qin Luo's arms.

She leaned against his chest, breathing lightly, and whispered a complaint, "You jerk... sneaking up on me like that..."

Qin Luo held her tightly, inhaling the fragrance of her hair, and chuckled, "Because Muwan is just too adorable."

Hearing this, Su Muwan's face turned as red as a peach blossom, though she still refused to admit it. "N-no, I'm not! Stop talking nonsense!"

"Really."

"Then tell me, how adorable am I?!"

Su Muwan puffed out her cheeks, trying to hide her shyness, but a faint smile betrayed her. Her heart was overflowing with sweetness.

Qin Luo smirked and hugged her tighter. "Super, super, super, super adorable!"

"Really super, super, super, super adorable?"

"Not just super adorable, but also especially, especially, especially, especially adorable!"

Hehe...

"Hmph!"

Su Muwan wriggled out of Qin Luo's embrace. She let out a light huff and pointed at the towel on the floor. "Forget about how adorable I am. Pick up the towel first."

"Alright."

Qin Luo bent down to pick up the towel.

But as he straightened up, a soft sensation brushed against him.

"!!"

He froze for a moment.

The touch was fleeting.

He looked up in surprise.

Su Muwan was cupping his face, her gaze as gentle as starlight.

"Qin Luo..."

Her voice was soft, a playful smile on her lips.

Her fingertips lightly traced his cheek as she stared at him, a hint of mischief in her eyes. "I'm just returning the favor."

"Now we're even, okay?"

Before Qin Luo could react, Su Muwan leaned in and kissed him again.

"Mmm..."

This time, Qin Luo responded softly, closing his eyes as he embraced her kiss.

He leaned forward, his arms wrapping gently around her. In that moment, it felt as if the world had faded away, leaving only the sound of their heartbeats.

Su Muwan's movements were tender yet assertive, like a spring breeze carrying a hint of shyness and dominance.

When they finally parted, both were slightly breathless.

Su Muwan's cheeks were flushed. She smiled softly and pinched Qin Luo's cheek. "What are you staring at?"

"The first kiss was to even the score. This time, I just wanted to kiss you. Is that not allowed?"

Qin Luo laughed heartily. "Of course it is!"

Yeah.

The domineering young lady is just utterly adorable!

.....

.....

Jiang City, Airport.

Two figures arrived.

"So this is Jiang City?"

Yiyi clasped her hands behind her back, curiously observing her surroundings.

She turned to Wang Yun, who was lugging a mountain of luggage, and cheerfully waved. "Wang Yun, you can do it!"

Wang Yun, struggling with the suitcases, blushed at Yiyi's encouragement. "Hehe, thanks, Yiyi."

Yiyi smiled at me.

Does she like me?

As Yiyi waved, her thoughts drifted to Qin Luo.

Hehe, it's been a while since I've seen such a perfect servant.

So...

A faint smile played on her lips, and a pink glint flickered in her eyes.

I must make him my servant puppet.

As for Su Muwan, the Transcendent...

She's just a newcomer who's about to arrive. Let this senior teach her some manners!
