She hadn't expected Jun Xiaoyao to suddenly wake up.
And it was such a coincidence.
Luo Xiangling tried to pull her hand back, but Jun Xiaoyao held it tightly.
"You...you're awake," Luo Xiangling said.
Her long eyelashes drooped slightly.
She didn't quite dare to look into Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
"What happened to me?"
Luo Xiangling herself could hardly believe her own demeanor.
She was the high and mighty Quasi-Immortal, King Luo of the War God Academy.
And Jun Xiaoyao was merely a Supreme.
The difference between them was like heaven and earth.
But her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
If any other Quasi-Immortal were here, they would certainly be astonished.
That King Luo, who was usually as cool as water, actually showed such a girlish demeanor.
It would completely refresh their understanding.
"These past few days, have you, Xiangling, been taking care of me?"
Jun Xiaoyao looked at Luo Xiangling.
Her jade-like hand was soft and boneless, incredibly smooth.
Only Jun Xiaoyao had touched it.
As for the pitiful Fufeng King, he hadn't even gotten within three feet of Luo Xiangling's body.
"It's good that you're fine; I can finally rest assured."
Luo Xiangling calmed her emotions; after all, she was a Quasi-Immortal, and she still had that much self-control.
She didn't want to show a shy, bashful, little-girl demeanor in front of Jun Xiaoyao; that would be a bit too embarrassing.
"Thank you."
Jun Xiaoyao stood up, his tone sincere.
It wasn't entirely an act.
There was still a hint or two of genuine feeling in it.
Luo Xiangling had indeed been exceptionally good to him.
Although Jun Xiaoyao's original intention was to find a backer and cling to Luo Xiangling's thigh.
But as things had developed, it seemed Luo Xiangling was genuinely getting a little caught up.
He couldn't help but continue the act.
"Can you...let go first?" Luo Xiangling's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
Although there was no one else here, Luo Xiangling still felt a bit shy.
"Oh, sorry." Jun Xiaoyao released his hand.
A silence fell between the two.
"By the way, my injuries..." Jun Xiaoyao asked deliberately.
"The Dragon Vein of the War God Academy has integrated into your body," Luo Xiangling said.
"So that's how it is." Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
He could feel that the Other Realm Dragon Vein had been suppressed into his body, nourishing his physique.
Jun Xiaoyao would later absorb the Other Realm Dragon Vein into his Inner Universe.
In his Inner Universe, there was also the Immortal Source Ancestral Vein obtained from the God Ruins World.
This way, both the Immortal Source Ancestral Vein and the Other Realm Dragon Vein would be incorporated into Jun Xiaoyao's Inner Universe.
His Inner Universe would then have abundant Spiritual Qi and could develop even more vigorously.
It would also be very beneficial for his own cultivation.
"You are truly remarkable; you achieved astonishing military merits in the Borderland, and the Academy will even hold a conferment banquet for you later," Luo Xiangling said.
"It's just some Minor Achievement; compared to achieving merits in the Borderland and becoming famous throughout the world, I'd rather stay in your bamboo dwelling, Xiangling, discussing Dao and drinking tea every day. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Jun Xiaoyao said casually.
Luo Xiangling smiled, and a hint of joy, which she herself hadn't noticed, appeared in her eyes.
She liked Jun Xiaoyao being by her side.
Then, Luo Xiangling seemed to remember something, her expression becoming a bit more serious, and she said.
"Xiaoyao, tell me, is Fufeng King behind Prince of the Other Shore and the others?"
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered slightly.
It seemed Luo Xiangling had also noticed.
He hesitated for a moment, not speaking.
"Tell me, is it? If it really is, I should warn him, or have Divine Turtle King discipline him a bit."
Luo Xiangling's tone was uncharacteristically solemn.
Clearly, she was very concerned about this matter.
Jun Xiaoyao also knew that Divine Turtle King was the Immortal King who had taken action.
But he shook his head slightly and said, "I know it might be Fufeng King, but there's no need to go find him."
"Why?" Luo Xiangling was puzzled.
"Because I don't want to implicate you for my own sake."
"No matter what, Fufeng King is a Quasi-Immortal, on par with your status. Offending him would only cause trouble."
"You like peace and quiet, not commotion. I don't want you to be disturbed because of me."
Jun Xiaoyao's tone was calm and sincere.
Luo Xiangling was slightly stunned when she heard this.
Jun Xiaoyao was truly thinking too much for her, wasn't he?
To avoid disturbing her peace, he didn't mind even if he faced hostility and targeting.
What woman could resist such devotion and tenderness?
One could only say that Jun Xiaoyao's acting and flirting skills had reached a pinnacle.
Let alone deceiving a woman like Luo Xiangling, who was outwardly strong but inwardly simple.
Even mature women with extensive experience and extraordinary vision would be completely charmed.
Seeing Luo Xiangling's blushing appearance.
Jun Xiaoyao was slightly taken aback.
King Luo, this beautiful older woman, was also a bit cute when she blushed.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes darkened, and he suddenly stepped forward and gently embraced Luo Xiangling.
Luo Xiangling was completely stunned!
Her originally soft and boneless delicate body also became extremely stiff and rigid.
Heaven knew, this was the first time she had such intimate contact with someone, embracing each other, since she had consciousness.
She was completely unable to think.
She just let Jun Xiaoyao gently embrace her, dumbfounded.
All her power as a Quasi-Immortal seemed to have vanished without a trace; she couldn't muster any strength at all.
At this moment, she was like a truly small woman.
"I know, Xiangling, you must have put in a lot of effort to treat my injuries during this time."
"Also, I know that you have your own past and secrets."
"I won't force you to tell me."
"But if one day you need to confide or share, I will be a listener."
These gentle and considerate words made Luo Xiangling's ears flush.
She indeed had her own past and secrets, which she had never told anyone.
Jun Xiaoyao was very smart; he knew this but didn't mind her keeping it secret, nor did he force her to speak.
This kind of tenderness.
This kind of understanding.
What man could do this?
"Mm."
Luo Xiangling just responded softly, still letting Jun Xiaoyao hold her.
The atmosphere at the moment was somewhat ambiguous.
Jun Xiaoyao released his arms.
Luo Xiangling, losing her support, suddenly felt an emptiness in her heart, but she didn't show it.
"By the way, has anything happened recently in the Other Realm?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"Another World-Destroying King has awakened," Luo Xiangling said.
"Oh?" Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow slightly.
Could it be that little stable boy?
If that were truly the case, it would be interesting.
"Also, the Tu Shan Imperial Clan seems to be holding some kind of marriage recruitment assembly," Luo Xiangling said.
"Marriage recruitment assembly." Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
Tu Shan Wanwan and Tu Shan Chunchun had also told him before that they wanted him to go.
At this moment, the long-unheard System's mechanical voice sounded in Jun Xiaoyao's mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the Host, a new sign-in location has been refreshed!"
"Please sign in at the Tu Shan marriage recruitment assembly!"
Jun Xiaoyao was a bit surprised.
What kind of treasure could he sign in for at a marriage recruitment assembly?
