Let Me Test Whether Your Sword Is Sharp! / The Fish in "The Old Man and the Sea" and a New Golden Glow

"After all, no matter how well you take care of yourself, nobody will look at you..."

Chapter 722 I'll test the sharpness of your sword!

"..."

Hearing these words full of resentment, Gwen's eyebrows twitched involuntarily. He looked at Changguang and saw that her bright and beautiful eyes were staring at him without blinking, as if she was silently expressing her feelings.

Then, under Changguang's feigned resentment, Gwen hesitated and said—

"Changguang, have you been watching Journey to the West lately?"

"?"

Still waiting to see whether this little lecher would take the opportunity or back down, Changguang, who had been presumptuous, tilted his head. A strand of dark red hair swept across his towering peaks, tracing a subtle arc, as if raising a question mark of doubt.

She had indeed read Journey to the West, but why was she suddenly asking about this?

Etc...

Changguang suddenly realized...

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes..."

Gwen chuckled and stepped forward, taking Changguang's hand in his.

The next moment, the two long shadows in the surveillance footage disappeared.

"It's already night, why wait until midnight?"

He casually took off his trench coat and tossed it far away on the sofa. Gwen gazed at the pair of eyes that shone slightly in the dim room and asked with a light laugh.

As is well known, in Journey to the West, Sun Wukong was tapped on the head three times because it was the Patriarch's instruction to preach the Dao at midnight.

Changguang's inexplicably resentful tone and the way he tossed his hair three times... it's hard not to make some connections.

As the dim light streaming in through the window helped him realize he was in his own home, Changguang's tense body slowly relaxed. His tone was feignedly resentful, but tinged with a rather obvious mockery—

"Sure enough, I'm already old and faded, to the point that you can't even bear to look at me twice..."

"?"

Gwen blinked, then casually waved his hand, sending a burst of energy into the switch, instantly illuminating the bedroom.

"So our Elizabeth enjoys daytime debauchery..."

Gwen slowly unbuttoned his shirt, a mocking expression on his face.

What nonsense are you talking about?

"Watch out, or I'll sue you for defamation!"

Changguang's face was flushed, as if he had suffered a great insult. The silver watch chain in his breast pocket swayed on the mountaintop, making people dizzy.

"Then I'll have to shut you up properly..."

Gwen, true to his word, forcefully sealed Chang Guang's rosy lips with his, causing Changguang's breathing to quicken and all the playful words in his mind to vanish into thin air.

While ruthlessly suppressing the little mouth that dared to "accuse this official," Gwen's fingers also flew nimbly like butterflies, gently peeling away the layers of restraints on Changguang's body.

Changguang felt his body getting hotter and hotter, and even the increasingly cool clothes he wore could not suppress this unprecedented burning sensation.

Only when those fingertips, hotter than his own, gently glided across his smooth skin did Changguang's eyes regain some clarity. His nimble fingers then pinched Gwen's skin firmly—

"Go take a shower first..."

"Would you like to take a bath together?"

Gwen, knowing he inevitably carried the scent of the Valkyrie Quicksilver, asked with a grin.

"No, you go to the big bathroom in the living room, I'll go to the small bathroom in the bedroom."

The red-haired beauty rolled her eyes with a charming expression and glared at Gwen with annoyance.

"Alright, alright, but the longer you wait, the angrier you'll get. Be careful not to get burned..."

Gwen gave that smooth face another hard kiss and teased.

"Oh...

I'll give it a try...

Changguang feigned disdain, but he could already see that her pretty face was flushed red, even though there was only a thin layer of fabric separating her skin from his...

A moment later, Changguang, sitting in the bathtub, splashed the warm water over himself, his eyes still somewhat dazed—

When was that?

I can't seem to remember.

I was initially quite annoyed by Otto's reckless orders and wanted to set up this kid with Anna, but...

Gradually, I became familiar with the existence of such a person in my life, as if he had become a part of my life as well.

Then... seeing him with those young girls all together, I gradually felt uncomfortable...

Changguang had a vague feeling about it, but he was reluctant to admit that he had actually fallen in love.

Tonight, upon seeing the photos of the dinner party that Vita had sent out in a group chat, Changguang suddenly felt a surge of displeasure—

I was here first, so why is everyone trying to overtake me?

This sudden surge of emotion made Changguang realize that he was probably truly in love.

But...

I'm not one of those naive young girls who can just go for it whenever they want and never lose out. I can go to him whenever I need something and even ask for extra money. This is a win-win-win situation for me!

With this mindset, Changguang did this after running into Gwen.

And things unfolded exactly as Changguang had predicted.

However, although he had been very brave during the teasing, now that his passion had subsided slightly, Changguang couldn't help but become somewhat absent-minded—

"Am I being too forward, making him think of me as one of those British aristocratic ladies?"

His usually sharp and clever mind was now a complete mess, and he listlessly splashed water.

Suddenly, a laughing voice reached his ears, causing Changguang's unfocused gaze to sharpen abruptly—

"If I soak any longer, I'll completely swell up..."

"Huh?"

Before Changguang could react, a splash of water erupted from the bathtub, hitting the floor tiles and creating ripples that reflected the slender legs that were dangling outside the tub.

"Of course, if you still want to play in the water like a child, I can reluctantly be your mat."

He was already sitting where Changguang had just been sitting, and he picked up that curvaceous body, letting the warm breath of Gwen, who was sitting on his stomach, hit Changguang's ear.

As his body suddenly flew into the air, Changguang, who was flailing his arms wildly trying to find something to Changguang, braced himself with one hand on Gwen's chest and the other...

Instantly, the blood in Changguang's body, which had just calmed down a little, surged again, and her pretty face, which had been slightly flushed by the water temperature, turned so red that it almost bled.

"It's already past midnight, please teach me, Teacher Changguang..."

It was rare to see Changguang so panicked. Gwen gently bit his soft earlobe and teased him in a low voice.

"Teach what?"

Upon hearing these familiar words, Changguang suddenly recalled that Gwen had spoken to him in the same way a few years ago—

Back then, I genuinely sought advice, but now...

"Stop talking nonsense and get up here to do it yourself!"

Changguang slapped Gwen on the chest with a "smack," looking arrogant—

"Today I'm going to test the sharpness of your sword!"

It would have been more convincing if his entire face hadn't turned completely red.

Sensing that the weapon lock he had just added had been released from its seal, Gwen picked up the Changguang from his arms, instantly stirring up another wave of water...

Chapter 723 The Old Man and the Fish in the Sea and the New Golden Light

When Dong Zhuo asked, "Do you want to test the sharpness of my sword?", Yuan Shao responded, "My sword is not without its flaws."

Unfortunately, Gwen wasn't Dong Zhuo, and Changguang wasn't Yuan Shao facing adversity.

Elizabeth Changguang McSmith felt like the old man and the fish in the sea, being brutally killed from the front one moment and being bitten hard by sharks from behind the next. She had lost all her strength and could only drift with the current, letting the raging waves crash against her and create wave after wave...

After an unknown amount of time, Changguang's consciousness slowly drifted back from the raging waves. With the slightest movement, a sharp pain came from the place in front where the fishhook had broken his defenses, and a burning pain suddenly came from the place behind him where the shark had bitten him, as if the most succulent and delicious fish meat had really been eaten clean by a non-existent shark.

What made Changguang even more embarrassed was that the fishhook that had broken his defenses was still deeply embedded in the fish's mouth, and the pain he had just felt came from it.

"Woke up?"

A teasing laugh reached his ears, and the warmth so close to him made Changguang instantly imagine their current position.

A sudden surge of shyness made Changguang not dare to lift his head. He just kept his eyes closed as if he were about to fall asleep, only managing a soft response—

"Um..."

Are you tired?

Changguang's appearance, Gwen gently stroked the smooth skin on the beauty's back and chuckled softly—

"If you're tired, just take a nap..."

"Um...

Take it out first, otherwise you won't feel comfortable sleeping..."

Changguang also wished he could just fall asleep and die, and wake up to find that hateful smiling face gone.

However, the intense sensation of that foreign object caused Changguang's blood to rush, his heart to pound faster, and he became increasingly excited, making it impossible for him to fall asleep.

"Heh, didn't you want to test your sword?"

Isn't this so you can have a proper check?

"..."

Upon hearing this, Changguang had no choice but to raise his head and look at Gwen with resentment, remaining silent and simply staring at Gwen quietly.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you..."

Seeing Changguang's gesture, which was tantamount to a disguised surrender, Gwen couldn't help but laugh and withdrew the fishing hook as he wished.

"Snort!"

Huffing and puffing, Changguang bit Gwen's lip, then grabbed one of Gwen's arms to use as a pillow and closed his eyes to sleep, as if to take revenge.

"This is the first time for me, let's see who can't take it next time!"

Huffing and puffing in his heart, the exhausted Changguang quickly drifted off to sleep.

Before becoming the arena for fishermen to fight sharks, marlins also fought fiercely with old men for a long time before dying from exhaustion.

"Oh..."

Gwen let out a barely audible chuckle, quietly watching the serene expression on that once playful, lively, and slightly exuberant face.

While direct physical intimacy is the most direct form of emotional communication, the aftercare is also an indispensable part.

This time, Changguang played too wildly and fell asleep from exhaustion, so he could only communicate with Changguang one-way.

"Oh right, today is the day the shop refreshes, let's see if there's anything good..."

After looking around for a long time, Gwen, still feeling no sleepiness, decided to open the system shop to check today's refreshes.

After the usual filtering, a golden light suddenly leaped into Gwen's field of vision.

"?"

"They actually shipped it?"

Gwen blinked in surprise, then gently kissed Changguang's forehead, thanking Goddess Luck for her favor, before finally examining him.

"The Method of Engraving Blessings - The great god Uranus walked the earth and, unable to bear seeing the monsters slaughtering the human world, gathered the wisdom of several great gods to research and develop a method to bestow grace through Divine Blood, which manifests the abilities and growth of children in the mortal world, possessing an extremely high growth rate."

Price: 200,000 points.

"?"

After reading the description, Gwen knew the origin of this thing—

Grace, from the work/world of Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, as described, is something used by the gods in the world to enable more warriors and even heroes to fight against monsters among the children of the lower realm.
