As soon as this request was made, Gu Chengyin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Theoretically speaking, this request was brought up by the inner demon.
Since it was to satisfy the inner demon's desires, Lin Qingyan probably wouldn't electrocute him, right?
Furthermore, it wasn't him kissing the inner demon, but the inner demon kissing him!
So... it should be fine?
But on second thought.
What if Lin Qingyan felt it was unacceptable?
What if she felt this level of intimacy exceeded the scope of mere satisfaction and crossed the line?
Wouldn't she electrocute him again?
At the thought of the incredibly agonizing power of the thunder from earlier, Gu Chengyin's spine subconsciously stiffened.
The thunder power of a Golden Core cultivator ignored spiritual energy defenses, directly affecting the meridians and the depths of the soul.
Although it wasn't fatal—obviously Lin Qingyan had held back.
But that feeling of full-body paralysis, where even his thoughts briefly stalled, was something Gu Chengyin truly did not want to experience a second time.
But if the inner demon wasn't satisfied, it would continue to grow stronger.
Lin Qingyan had already made it very clear just now: the speed at which the inner demon was weakened was far outpaced by its growth.
And for this trip to the Azure Sword Sect, Lin Qingyan was the only Golden Core cultivator and his greatest safety guarantee.
Gu Chengyin's brows furrowed tightly.
His gaze landed on Lin Qingyan's face.
That breathtakingly beautiful face was also looking at him, her blood-red eyes full of anticipation and longing.
Her lips were slightly parted, gleaming with a luster that made them look like two alluring petals under the light.
In the end, Gu Chengyin still chose to agree.
After all, being electrocuted wouldn't kill him, but if the inner demon wasn't weakened, heaven knew what would happen in the future.
"Alright."
Hearing Gu Chengyin agree, a trace of panic involuntarily flashed through Lin Qingyan's blood-red eyes.
But it was only for a split second, and it was quickly covered up.
Lin Qingyan took the initiative to say, "Then Master, sit properly!"
Gu Chengyin honestly sat upright in place; he absolutely could not take the initiative in this sort of thing.
It would be bad if Lin Qingyan decided he was trying to take advantage of her.
Lin Qingyan crouched in front of him, holding Gu Chengyin's cheeks with both hands, looking at him with burning eyes.
This posture...
It was very subtle.
He was sitting, she was crouching.
He looked up, she looked down.
For some reason, Gu Chengyin felt like he was waiting to be favored by a monarch.
Lin Qingyan leaned in closer, bit by bit.
Gu Chengyin could clearly see.
In her pupils, his own reflection was gradually enlarging.
The distance between the two grew closer and closer.
Only the sound of each other's breathing remained.
And that familiar fragrance, enveloping him more and more intensely.
Three inches.
Two inches.
Gu Chengyin could already feel Lin Qingyan's warm breath brushing across his cheeks, bringing a faint ticklish sensation.
The atmosphere...
Involuntarily turned ambiguous and intimate.
When the distance between the two finally shortened to the extreme.
Only a hair's breadth separated their lips.
So thin it could almost be ignored.
Just a little bit further forward...
Just one millimeter closer...
And they would touch.
But there was not the slightest bit of romantic distraction in Gu Chengyin's heart, let alone any anticipation.
Instead, he tensed his body, while quietly circulating his true qi and spiritual energy through his meridians, fully prepared to be electrocuted at any moment.
As for Lin Qingyan...
Her eyelashes trembled even more violently.
She seemed to be hesitating.
Or perhaps she was nervous.
And right at this critical, hair-trigger moment.
"Zzzzt!!"
A bolt of golden lightning appeared out of thin air once again, without any warning!
Like an angry golden snake, it slammed directly into Gu Chengyin with devastating might!
"Boom!!"
Gu Chengyin didn't even have time to react before his entire body was sent flying!
His body traced a parabola in the air before crashing heavily onto the ground, rolling several times from the momentum before barely coming to a stop.
But he couldn't care less about any of that right now.
Because the power this time was at least twice as strong as before!
Fortunately, Gu Chengyin had made ample preparations in advance.
But the true qi and spiritual energy in his body were still being consumed at a rapid pace—thirty percent, forty percent, fifty percent...
It wasn't until nearly sixty percent of his true qi had been depleted that the power of this golden lightning was finally completely neutralized.
But the lingering agony and numbness still left Gu Chengyin's entire body stiff and unable to move.
After a good while, he struggled to lift his head, looking completely dumbfounded.
No way...
She electrocuted him for this too?!
Is there no justice in this world?!
Gu Chengyin rarely experienced such feelings of indignation.
Propping himself up on his arms, he sat up bit by bit and looked over at Lin Qingyan.
He was ready to tell the inner demon to go back and have Lin Qingyan come out to reason with him.
Only then did he realize that the familiar cold aloofness had already appeared.
Lin Qingyan... was back.
This left Gu Chengyin completely at a loss once again.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.
Could this Lin Qingyan have been sent by the heavens just to torture him?!
Right at that moment, Lin Qingyan spoke up, taking the initiative to apologize:
"I'm sorry, Gu Chengyin."
She lowered her head slightly, avoiding Gu Chengyin's gaze.
"I... have never had such intimate contact with a man before."
"So... I was a little nervous."
With those words, it was hard for Gu Chengyin to reprimand her anymore.
He sighed and said in total resignation:
"But Auntie..."
"If that's the case, then how are we supposed to satisfy the inner demon?"
The tips of Lin Qingyan's ears couldn't help but turn a bit red; fortunately, her black hair covered them, so it didn't show.
She also knew that this matter was indeed her fault.
After all, she was the one who suggested the kiss, yet she ended up blasting Gu Chengyin away with lightning.
It was also fortunate that Gu Chengyin thought it was the inner demon, otherwise it would have been way too embarrassing.
But just as she had said.
Lin Qingyan had never had such intimate contact with a man before.
Not to mention it being under these circumstances of a lone man and woman, and Gu Chengyin was even her nominal nephew-in-law.
It was understandable that she would get nervous, lose control, and trigger an even stronger lightning strike.
Lin Qingyan's brows furrowed slightly.
She was thinking.
Thinking about how to solve this problem.
The weakening of the inner demon wasn't actually urgent, because Lin Qingyan could completely suppress it.
But if she did that, she wouldn't be able to comprehend that complete Immortal Dao.
For a seeker of the Dao, this was truly unbearable.
Yet, the weakening caused by just hugging and cuddling was simply too slow.
And with such intimate contact, she would involuntarily become nervous.
As soon as she got nervous, she couldn't help but electrocute Gu Chengyin...
It seemed like an endless loop.
Unless...
Lin Qingyan's expression shifted as she suddenly began to observe her surroundings.
She was nervous because all of her attention was focused entirely on Gu Chengyin.
Then, if there were people or things around to distract her, wouldn't she stop being nervous?
She then spoke up:
"Gu Chengyin."
Hearing this, Gu Chengyin looked over.
Then he saw Lin Qingyan say thoughtfully:
"Perhaps if we change to a place with people around, I won't be nervous."
Gu Chengyin: "?"
He didn't process it for a moment.
Change to a place with people?
What did that mean?
Could it be that Lin Qingyan wanted to do it under the watchful eyes of the public?
Have him satisfy the inner demon out in the open?!
Would that really work?!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"

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.
