If they only gave Xu Jinchen a few glances, Zi Beiying wouldn’t be really mad, but some girls even came to ask for his WeChat account.

Xu Jinchen rejected them, but Zi Beiying was still displeased.

“Gu Ning, do you have another face mask? I think someone here also needs one,” said Zi Beiying in annoyance.

Hearing that, Gu Ning and the others were amused.

“Sorry, I don’t have any more face masks,” said Gu Ning. Although she had another one, she had used it before, so she couldn’t give it to Xu Jinchen.

Zi Beiying could only give Xu Jinchen a glare.

“It’s not my fault that I’m handsome,” said Xu Jinchen, feeling aggrieved. Then he tried to please Zi Beiying. “If I were ugly, I wouldn’t have won your heart. I wouldn’t have had the courage to pursue you!”

Zi Beiying laughed and felt much better, but she still snorted a little.

“I’ll carry a face mask with me next time, alright?” Xu Jinchen continued.

“I didn’t say that. You can make the decision on your own.” Zi Beiying was pleased by Xu Jinchen’s words, so she became happy again.

She wouldn’t force Xu Jinchen to put on a face mask, but she was very happy that Xu Jinchen was willing to please her.

That was how a loving couple got along with each other.

Women were sensitive. However, even if they were mad after arguing with their men, as long as their men were willing to please them, they would soon be fine. Some women might be different, but it was that way in most cases.

“Sure, sure, I decided to do it on my own,” said Xu Jinchen at once. He didn’t want Zi Beiying to think that he was forced to do that, so he tried to look sincere.

Zi Beiying said nothing further, and just held Gu Ning’s arm while walking. They began to chat and laugh.

After Zi Beiying and Gu Ning walked away, Chen Meng joked with Xu Jinchen. “How do you feel now?”

How did he feel now?

Xu Jinchen understood what Chen Meng was implying. Chen Meng asked him how he felt when Zi Beiying put pressure on him.

Chen Meng didn’t think that Zi Beiying was bullying Xu Jinchen. He just wanted to know how Xu Jinchen felt when he spoiled his girlfriend. Whether it was his fault or not, he was always wrong.

Xu Jinchen didn’t feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he enjoyed it, so he said blankly, “I feel very good about it. I’m more than happy to make my girl happy.”

Chen Meng put on a resigned smile and said nothing. In fact, he enjoyed it too.

…

At 11:30 am, they began to climb down the mountain.

It took much less time climbing down the mountain, so they reached the foot in half an hour.

It was soon 12 pm, and was time for lunch, so they went to dine at a restaurant in the commercial district.

After they finished the meal, they left.

Because Gu Ning and Shaoting needed to visit the Leng family that afternoon, they didn’t go with Xu Jinchen and the others, and instead went straight to the siheyuan.

Before that, Gu Ning called Jing Yunyao and asked where she was at the moment.

Jing Yunyao was at the Flowers and Plants Trading Center, so Gu Ning told her to go back to the siheyuan, so that they could go visit the Leng family a bit later.

Gu Ning didn’t tell Jing Yunyao that she broke through to the next level. She decided to tell Jing Yunyao and Shangguan Yang when they met.

Because Jing Yunyao was close to siheyuan, she arrived there earlier than Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting.

…

Gu Ning had the Blood of the Phoenix, so her level couldn’t be seen. So Shangguan Yang and Jing Yunyao didn’t see any differences.

Gu Ning didn’t bother to say anything, and instead directly showed her abilities.

When Shangguan Yang and Jing Yunyao witnessed her new skills, they were both shocked and excited.

“Ningning, when did you break through to the next level?” Shangguan Yang asked in a hurry. It wasn’t strange, but it was a shock, so Shangguan Yang was curious.

“Xu Jinchen called us and invited us to climb up Xianyun Mountain together this morning. He heard from his older brother that there is a strange cave filled with strong wind. It can easily blow people away. It sounded abnormal, so we went there in case there were monsters or ghosts. And when we reached the point of the strong wind in the cave, we found welded steel bars, which were used to stop visitors from going forward. Shaoting and I were afraid there were monsters and ghosts, and the steel bars could only stop mortals, so we went in. The wind was indeed very strong. It was even difficult for us to move forward. At the end of the cave, there was a barrier. I threw something at it, but it bounced back once it touched the barrier. It looked very dangerous, so Shaoting and I decided to leave. However, once we turned around, we were absorbed into the barrier, and…” Gu Ning told them the whole story.

After knowing that they had gone into illusions, Shangguan Yang and Jing Yunyao were scared. Although they were already out and safe now, they were still frightened by the danger they had run into in the illusions.

Even if it was an illusion, they could really be injured. If they couldn’t escape from it, they could die inside, because if they couldn’t find the exit, they would be trapped in it.

Luckily, it was dangerous, but they survived, and Gu Ning even broke through to the next level. She was at the peak of the Heartbeat Stage now, which was significant progress.

“I’m glad you’re both fine. I guess it was a blessing in disguise,” said Shangguan Yang. Because it was an accident, he didn’t criticize them. He only reminded them to be careful in the future.

“How’s the cave right now? Although people can’t get in it, it might be dangerous. What if other innocent visitors are absorbed?” said Jing Yunyao.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already blocked the road. Nobody should be hurt. I’ll go to check on it again if I have free time in the future,” said Leng Shaoting.

It was blocked now, but that place was very strange, so he decided to visit the cave as long as he had time in the future to prevent any accidents from happening.

“Great!” Jing Yunyao was relieved.

…

After staying in the siheyuan for a while, Leng Shaoting and the others left for the Leng family’s house.

Every time they visited the Leng family, the atmosphere was always the same. Master Leng and Leng Yuanzhen’s family were happy to see them and they chatted with laughter..
