This Doesn't Mean I Enjoy Doing Such Things

*Click~*

The door was pushed open.

"Little Qingqing~~ I'm here~~"

Gu Yan walked in with a cheerful smile.

How could he not be happy?

The protagonist, Xiao Lin, had severed ties with the original female lead, Wang Yulan.

The King of Hell Palace was secured~ The Peach Blossom Society was almost within grasp~ Even the later-stage ruthless antagonist, You Xingxue, had been acquired~

The Three-Life Demon Claw was also in hand~

His high-level combatants in the Night Organization were already in place. All that was left was to wait for Demon Claw and the others to establish the basic framework of the organization before officially launching their operations.

(For those who forgot who Demon Claw and the others are, you can revisit Chapter 109.)

Leng Qingqiu was flipping through a braille book, showing no signs that she had just been discussing major organizational matters with Mei Xue.

When she heard Gu Yan's arrival, she couldn't help but feel a little flutter in her heart.

But no, how could the dignified Night King be so emotional—crying, throwing tantrums, and laughing—in front of a man?

She naturally had her own sense of pride!

As for Gu Yan, since he and Leng Qingqiu had already opened up to each other, his movements became a bit more unrestrained.

He very naturally sat down on the chair next to Leng Qingqiu and then extended his mischievous hand to grab hers.

Ugh, this guy, always so hands-on from the get-go.

Leng Qingqiu deliberately frowned and resisted for a moment, but soon stopped and turned to look at Gu Yan, calmly asking, "You're back?"

"Why did it take so long to drop off Ling'er?"

By now, it was already lunchtime.

Truth be told, ever since she started practicing the forbidden arts, she no longer needed to eat.

She could sustain herself simply by absorbing the spiritual energy of the world.

But, to maintain the appearance of being a normal person, she still ate three meals a day in front of Leng Ling'er.

Especially after Gu Yan started cooking, even though she didn't need to eat, she couldn't resist how delicious it was. She just wanted to eat.

Hearing this, Gu Yan gently wrapped both hands around Leng Qingqiu's small hand, caressing and playing with it as he said, "Qingqiu, the Bai Family has quite the background. Bai Jun, the eldest son of the Bai Family, is the youngest grandmaster in the Martial Arts Department."

"Although a grandmaster isn't exactly rare in our Gu Family, as the eldest son of the Gu Family and its future leader, I naturally had to engage with him."

"So... well, you know."

Leng Qingqiu let out a light hum, "You always have so many excuses."

At this point, Leng Qingqiu hesitated slightly.

There was something she wasn't sure if she should ask Gu Yan.

She knew that the Gu Family had a set of rules for selecting its heir.

While voting for an heir might seem laughable, for a large family like the Gu Family, this voting system was more like a way to filter out loyal candidates.

Although... it seemed Gu Yan had already been rejected twice.

This year was likely his last chance.

If he failed to inherit the Gu Family and his status plummeted, it wouldn't be a big deal.

She could just support him herself. After all, it was just Gu Yan—she could afford to take care of him.

Moreover, if Gu Yan really wanted to become the heir of the Gu Family, she wasn't opposed to helping him.

So she asked, "Gu Yan, do you really want to inherit the Gu Family?"

"If you do, will the Gu Family really let you?"

If Gu Yan truly wanted it, Leng Qingqiu was willing to use even underhanded methods to help him secure the position!

However, Gu Yan seemed indifferent and started getting handsy again.

While playing with Leng Qingqiu's hand, he leaned closer to her and said, "Honestly, I don't really care."

"After all, the current head of the family is my dad. With his abilities, I don't have to worry about my position in the Gu Family changing."

"Also... remember the Yan Xing Group banquet, Qingqiu? There's something I didn't tell you. At the banquet, because of some incidents, I pissed off a lot of people in Jianghai City."

"My reputation has taken a hit."

"Especially one of the key voters... um, I think her name was Xie... Xie something, a young lady from the Xie Family."

"I beat her up so badly she ended up in the hospital."

"Then, on the night she was hospitalized, she was suddenly strangled to death by her own bodyguard."

"The bodyguard, after being caught, cried and said it was because Xie Zhilan had always been arrogant and abusive, constantly humiliating him, which drove him to kill her."

"Now, the Xie Family is in chaos, and they definitely won't support me."

By this point, Gu Yan had already buried his face in Leng Qingqiu's shoulder, inhaling deeply as if intoxicated by her scent.

*Sniff sniff~* Ahhh, Qingqiu's scent~~ It's so sweet and intoxicating~~

Like a refreshing fruit juice, I just want to inhale it all in one go!!

Meanwhile, Leng Qingqiu was still pondering Gu Yan's words. She could tell that Gu Yan didn't really care about becoming the head of the Gu Family.

As for Xie Zhilan...

Leng Qingqiu naturally knew who she was.

Xie Zhilan was the fool who had insulted her sister at the banquet.

That very night, Leng Qingqiu had ordered her subordinates to eliminate her, using the method of controlling her bodyguard to do the deed.

In short, the insult to her sister had been avenged.

Of course, Leng Qingqiu hadn't forgotten one thing.

That was Shen Tian, the younger brother of Shen Wan'er, the young lady of the Shen Family.

That idiot had directly attacked her sister at a KTV, which had truly made her want to skin him alive.

But considering he was the younger brother of a woman Gu Yan had once pursued, she had held back.

However... as long as Shen Tian remained alive, her murderous intent wouldn't subside...

She wasn't sure if Gu Yan had any objections to Shen Tian's death... Hmm?

Leng Qingqiu frowned as she felt a warm breath brushing against her neck.

"Qingqiu~~ My Qingqiu~~"

"You smell so good~~ You're so fragrant~~"

"I love you so much~~ I! Sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff!!"

!!!!

Leng Qingqiu snapped out of her thoughts and pushed Gu Yan away in embarrassment, "You pervert! Stop acting crazy!!"

Ugh, here I am, thinking so seriously, and this guy is just obsessed with that kind of thing!

Gu Yan, having been pushed away, looked aggrieved. He wiped the corner of his mouth and said innocently, "Qingqiu~ It's just the two of us in the house now."

"With Ling'er gone, shouldn't we take this chance to get closer?"

Hearing such nonsense, Leng Qingqiu clenched her fists in frustration, "Who wants to get closer with you!"

"It's because you're always thinking about this kind of thing that I can't focus on my work!"

That's right, the culprit behind the delays in the organization's progress had been found—it was none other than Gu Yan!

Gu Yan waved his hand dismissively, "Qingqiu, a little burst of hormones can actually improve efficiency!"

Leng Qingqiu scoffed, "Yeah, right. I don't believe that."

Gu Yan, hearing this, suddenly stood up, "Don't believe me? Then let's kiss and see if it works!"

?

Leng Qingqiu slowly raised an eyebrow, rubbing her temples in exasperation, "Gu Yan, I know what I said in front of Ling'er might have given you the wrong idea."

"But..."

She spoke firmly, "That doesn't mean I enjoy doing this kind of thing."

[The other me, for the sake of our Night Organization's development and dealing with the forces entering Jianghai City,]

[I think we need to focus on improving our strength.]

Leng Qingqiu: ".........."

Three minutes later.

With Gu Yan's half-hearted resistance and a little push from Xiao Leng, the study was filled with ambiguous sounds.

"Mmm... ah..."

Leng Qingqiu, her face flushed with embarrassment, wrapped her arms around Gu Yan's neck. This was just for the sake of improving her strength...

Everything was for the development of the organization...

After all, I am the Night King!

Only by improving my own strength can I help my subordinates grow stronger!

Yes, I'm doing all this for the sake of the Night Organization!
