Azure Dragon Mountain Car God

Hey, I like you!

Ronan had no idea how long those words had been brewing in the girl's heart before she could no longer hold them back, erupting like a volcano.

Wei Wei's face was bright red, yet she still clung tightly to Ronan.

At that moment, she suddenly felt completely relieved, as though all her sadness and grievances had finally been vented.

She had always been a woman who acted on her feelings.

That night during the assassination attempt, Ronan had resolutely walked into the valley, already leaving a deep impression on her. Then, on the night at the martial arts hall, he had repeatedly won back Yi Lin Manor's honor, making her see him in a whole new light.

A girl's heart was always impossible to fathom. For the first time, the little witch who had always looked down on ordinary men had fallen for someone.

She had taken the initiative to invite Ronan to dance, only to be rejected. What followed was the confession that left her feeling even more wronged.

If not for preserving Yi Lin Manor's dignity, she would have turned around and left the moment Ronan told Xiang Feihu that he liked Su Xiao.

In the end, she held herself back. Although her emotions had gotten a little out of control and she had done some foolish things, she stayed. Asking Wang Xiaoman to place a bet on Ronan was not simply to boost Yi Lin Manor's morale. Deep down, she still had a tiny, extravagant hope—that Ronan could win.

And he really did it!

The instant Ronan unleashed One-Hit Armor Break, Wei Wei was beside herself with joy.

But when Ronan stepped out of the elevator and walked first toward Wang Xiaoman rather than her, then went to Su Xiao second, her heart turned ice-cold.

She silently told herself: This man already likes another woman. He isn't worth worrying about so much.

So she deceived herself, turned away, and avoided seeing him.

For an entire week, she did not see Ronan.

After school started, it was still the same.

Yet her busy life did not seem to wash away that shadow. Whenever she had even a moment of free time, she could not help thinking of that face—somewhat delicate, sometimes a little dull, and most of the time seemingly utterly out of place in this world.

She sat alone in her dorm room, staring blankly into space for three days. Her mind was filled with nothing but Ronan.

She hated herself. Yet the most wondrous thing about feelings was that they were like the most terrifying spell cast by an evil wizard: the more desperately you wanted to forget, the more deeply it was etched into your heart.

She had been holding it in for too long. She could not endure it anymore. She decided to lay everything bare.

That was why Wang Xiaoman had put on such a clumsy performance tonight. Wei Wei's only worry was whether Ronan would come at all.

Thankfully, although Wang Xiaoman could not act and could not lie, she was naturally a girl who was poor with words. All she had to do was play herself and memorize the lines Wei Wei had given her, and it was enough to move Ronan.

In Wei Wei's eyes, everything had fallen naturally into place.

No matter what happened next, she felt at ease.

If there was something in your heart, you said it. If the feeling was right, you confessed.

That was Wei Wei. The young lady of Yi Lin Manor, the eccentric little witch in others' eyes, the kind and gentle young mistress in the maids' eyes, and in Ronan's eyes... someone he could never figure out at all.

Wei Wei felt wonderfully refreshed.

The atmosphere at the scene was painfully awkward.

Lin Chenluo looked at Ronan as if he had just eaten shit.

Ronan looked innocently at everyone.

After a long silence, he finally forced out, "I... think I understand. Um, let go first. Come with me first."

He had originally thought that the usually unruly Wei Wei would keep making things difficult for him.

Who would have thought that after confessing, the little witch would suddenly transform into a meek little rabbit?

She softly replied, "Mm," obediently released him, and looked completely compliant.

The surrounding spectators were dumbfounded.

They could not quite wrap their heads around it.

Wasn't today supposed to be the racing competition on Carnival Night?

How had it suddenly turned into a public display of affection between these two?

And what was with Ronan's attitude? Miss Wei Wei had confessed to you like that, and all you said was, "I think I understand"? Hey, anyone could understand that, okay?

You two were leaving just like that?

The first to recover was still Lin Chenluo.

He said unhappily, "Miss Wei Wei! There's still a race tonight! You personally said you wanted to participate... If you don't race, then this Rose Sword is mine!"

Wei Wei gave him a disdainful look. "It's just a Rose Sword. So what if I give it to you?"

The other noble youths fell silent.

Just a Rose Sword.

To them, a Rose Sword was already an extremely expensive supercar. Some of them could not even save up that much in allowance over an entire year. Yet to Wei Wei, it could be casually thrown away, as though she did not care in the slightest.

Since even the owner did not care, naturally no one else could say anything.

Although Lin Chenluo had gotten a supercar for nothing, seeing Ronan's deadpan face somehow made him unhappy. He knew the other four participants tonight very well, and none of them could possibly be his match. A race with no suspense at all was truly boring.

Just as Lin Chenluo was racking his brains to keep Wei Wei from leaving, Ronan suddenly stopped.

"This car is yours?"

He looked at the Rose Sword and asked Wei Wei.

Wei Wei obediently nodded.

"This is what you're betting tonight?"

Ronan frowned.

Wei Wei explained, "If you hadn't come tonight, I would've played with them for a while. It wouldn't have mattered even if I lost. It's only a Rose Sword. How could their cars compare to mine? The five of them are betting five cars against my one Rose Sword."

Ronan's eyes suddenly lit up!

"You mean if you win, those five cars become yours?"

Wei Wei was puzzled, but then she remembered that Ronan had always focused on strange things, so she patiently explained, "That's right, but I'm in a good mood today, so I'm not playing with them anymore! Street racing is too dangerous."

But the next second, Ronan looked at Wei Wei with shining eyes.

"...I have a request."

Wei Wei was stunned. She had known Ronan for so long, yet she had never heard him ask her for anything.

"Just say it." She felt a little excited, but tried her best to keep her tone calm.

"Let me race."

"I'll compete with them. But if I win, can those five cars count as my winnings?"

Ronan awkwardly scratched his head. "Don't worry, I'll definitely win."

Wei Wei frowned.

She had come out racing with Lin Chenluo and the others because she wanted to vent the frustration in her heart. Now that Ronan had come and she had said everything she wanted to say, her pent-up feelings had all been released. How could she still be in the mood to care about racing?

Who would have thought Ronan would say something like that?

Does he like cars? Wei Wei knew that although the Earl treated Ronan very well, Ronan did not seem to have as much private money as she did. If he came across a car he liked, he probably could not afford it.

So she gently said, "Street racing is dangerous. Forget it. If there's a car you like... um, I can lend you money."

She was afraid Ronan would find it hard to accept, so she had originally wanted to say "buy," but forcibly changed it to "lend."

However, Ronan shook his head.

"Let me race."

His attitude was very stubborn.

Because only Ronan himself knew that he did not like cars.

He had seen the Primal Stones inside those supercars!

Five supercars are enough to raise Noah's energy above 50%!

Ronan's eyes practically glowed green!

These past few days, he had been troubled over ways to make money. He had come tonight intending to deal with trouble, only to unexpectedly stumble upon a way to get rich!

Now it depended on whether Wei Wei would agree.

The little witch's eyes darted about before she suddenly smiled mischievously. "No problem... as long as you agree to be my boyfriend, you can do whatever you want!"

Ronan's face darkened. He might have been slow when it came to romance, but he was not that slow.

At most, he felt a desire to look after Wei Wei, much of it stemming from his gratitude toward the Earl. What real love could there be? He admired Wei Wei's courage and appreciated her style—but that did not mean Ronan was ready to agree.

He was actually a rather reserved man.

So he could only regretfully fall silent and prepare to leave.

Lin Chenluo and the other noble descendants nearby nearly had their balls ache all the way to the Western Star Region after hearing the conversation between these two.

Were there really no normal people in Yi Lin Manor?

These two were supposedly cousins. It was one thing for the younger cousin to secretly love her older cousin, but what was with the sudden confession? The developments afterward were even more enough to make people cough blood.

When Lin Chenluo heard Ronan wanted to enter the race, he had nearly jumped for joy!

He had finally found an opportunity to humiliate Ronan. How could he possibly let it slip away?

He still had doubts in other fields, but racing—

Heh... Could the Azure Dragon Mountain Car God possibly be a false reputation?

Who would have thought Wei Wei seemed unwilling to let Ronan race? That was troublesome.

The host and spectators had long since yawned themselves silly.

Jones was just short of raising a loudspeaker and roaring, "Can you two go home and act out this melodramatic eight o'clock soap opera? Move aside already, I've still got racing to do here!"

Unfortunately, Yi Lin Manor's name carried too much weight. Trading a few verbal barbs was one thing, but if they truly offended these two young masters and young ladies, they would be in serious trouble.

Wei Wei had anticipated Ronan's reaction. She had not expected one confession to succeed anyway. As long as Ronan knew how she felt, that was enough.

"Well, since you insist on racing, then go ahead."

"But be careful. To me, this car isn't as important as your life."

Wei Wei handed him the keys and spoke softly.

Ronan took the keys, fell silent for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly,

"Thanks... I owe you one."

Wei Wei smiled brilliantly. Bathed in the car lights, she looked dreamlike and breathtakingly beautiful.

Ronan froze for a moment, then quickly lowered his head and walked toward the starting line.

Are girls' smiles always this lethal?

Feeling his heartbeat accelerate uncontrollably, Ronan found that question popping into his mind.

Seriously, the cars still need to race... There's no time, hurry up and vote!
