I Dreamed a Girl Kissed Me, and the Sunset Forest Has Bright Green Lion Clans?!

At such a close distance, Qian Renxue could easily feel Lin Du's breath.

Though Lin Du, pretending to sleep, could not see how close Qian Renxue was to him, he could still sense her increasingly distinct breaths.

Qian Renxue's long, golden hair brushed against Lin Du's face, bringing an itchy sensation

that went straight to his heart.

If this continued, even Lin Du himself did not know

how much longer he could keep pretending to sleep.

"From this close up,"

"Lin Du is actually quite handsome."

Qian Renxue gazed at Lin Du's face

and murmured softly.

For some reason, an inexplicable impulse suddenly flashed through her heart.

The next second, Lin Du suddenly felt a warm softness on his cheek.

But before he could properly savor it, that warmth parted the instant it touched him.

Only the coolness that spread when the breeze brushed over it kept reminding Lin Du that it had not been an illusion.

By the time Qian Renxue came back to her senses, she had already put the thought that had surfaced in her mind into action.

Her cheeks burning hot, she could no longer bear the surging embarrassment in her heart.

She hurriedly got up and ran out of the wooden cabin.

In her panicked haste, she did not even notice that when she stood up barefoot, she had stepped on Lin Du's palm.

When the sound of the door closing rang out, Lin Du finally opened his eyes.

He sat up and looked at the tightly shut door, then unconsciously reached out to brush the spot Qian Renxue had just kissed.

In the end, all the countless words in his heart turned into a soft chuckle.

To make his act more convincing, Lin Du lay there for another ten-odd minutes before getting up and leaving the wooden cabin.

The sunlight was perfect then.

Brilliant, warm golden rays spilled across the valley, outlining a breathtakingly beautiful landscape.

The only flaw was the absence of insect chirps and birdsong.

Aside from the exotic flowers and rare grasses carpeting the ground, their group was the only living thing within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

"You..."

"You're awake, Lin Du?"

"Did you..."

"Did you sleep well?"

Seeing Lin Du emerge from the wooden cabin, a trace of awkwardness flashed across Qian Renxue's face.

Yet she still forced herself to remain calm, as though she wanted to probe him for something.

"I slept quite well,"

"I slept until just now."

Lin Du turned to look at Qian Renxue, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"You slept until just now?"

"That's good."

"That's good."

Qian Renxue slightly averted her gaze, avoiding eye contact with Lin Du, yet Lin Du still caught the relief on her face.

That immediately gave him the urge to tease Qian Renxue, and he deliberately drew out his voice as he spoke again.

"Except..."

"Except what?!"

Qian Renxue had taken the bait, just as expected, and a trace of inexplicable nervousness appeared on her face.

"Except I had a dream just before waking up this morning."

Lin Du fought back a smile, doing his best to keep a straight face.

"What dream?"

Qian Renxue's fingers had unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes.

From Lin Du's angle, he could clearly see her fingertips turning white.

"I dreamed that a girl kissed me."

"Unfortunately..."

"I couldn't make out her face."

Lin Du rubbed the cheek Qian Renxue had kissed, his expression carrying a hint of reminiscence.

Qian Renxue's heart stopped for an instant, but after hearing the latter half of Lin Du's words, it slowly began beating again.

"What's wrong, Xue'er?"

"You look rather nervous."

"What exactly are you nervous about?"

Lin Du stepped closer, seemingly trying to get a clearer look at Qian Renxue's expression.

"No!"

"I'm not nervous!"

"You got it wrong!"

"You..."

"Don't come any closer."

"Stay..."

"Stay away from me!"

Qian Renxue waved her arms about, her fair, lotus-root-like arms tracing graceful arcs through the air.

But paired with her expression, she looked somewhat fierce on the outside and weak within.

"No, no, no."

"Xue'er,"

"Something is very wrong with you."

"Could it be that you..."

Lin Du grabbed Qian Renxue's continually flailing arm.

He stepped closer, Though he was younger than Qian Renxue at the moment, and shorter than her as well, facing Lin Du's expression, as though he had already seen through everything, Qian Renxue inexplicably felt guilty.

Her face had already turned bright red, and her gaze darted everywhere, yet she simply did not dare meet Lin Du's eyes.

"I actually..."

"Could it be that you caught a cold and have a fever?"

Just as Qian Renxue's psychological defenses were about to collapse and she was preparing to confess, Lin Du suddenly reached out and placed a hand on her burning forehead, interrupting the words she had wanted to confess.

"Yes!"

"I'm just feeling a little unwell!"

"That's right,"

"Yes!"

Qian Renxue nodded rapidly, almost leaving afterimages.

"So Spirit Masters can get sick too."

"By the way,"

"Where are Grandpa and Poison Douluo?"

"Why haven't I seen either of them?"

Seeing Qian Renxue looking as though she was about to be teased to pieces, Lin Du lost the desire to keep teasing her, and promptly changed the subject, asking where Qian Daoliu and Dugu Bo had gone.

"Grandpa and that old poison were discussing your First Soul Ring,"

"That old poison said there's a Bright Green Lion clan in Sunset Forest,"

"So half an hour ago,"

"he took Grandpa there."

Hearing Lin Du's question, Qian Renxue immediately told him where the two had gone.

"There's a Bright Green Lion clan in Sunset Forest?"

"That certainly saves us some trouble."

A hint of delight appeared on Lin Du's face, and his anticipation grew stronger.

But waiting was always boring.

After sitting around for more than ten minutes, Lin Du decisively stood up, then turned to look at Qian Renxue beside him.

"Who knows when Grandpa and Poison Douluo will be back?"

"How about we go down and look for some treasures?"

"Last time, I accepted gifts from several Enshrined,"

"So we can take this opportunity to pick out some gifts for them too."

"Alright."

Qian Renxue nodded softly in agreement.

To her, what they did was not important.

Being with Lin Du was what mattered.

Before long, Lin Du brought Qian Renxue near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, The Mustard Seed Sumeru Ring on his finger lit up, Several streaks of flowing light flew out from the simple ring, Before finally landing in front of Lin Du, Transforming into boxes made from various materials, Including wooden boxes, silver boxes, jade boxes, and more.

"Lin Du,"

"Why did you bring so many boxes?"

"Why are there even wooden ones?"

Looking at the assortment of boxes before Lin Du, Qian Renxue could not help but reveal a hint of curiosity.

"Immortal Herbs are spiritual things,"

"It is not just harvesting them,"

"Storing them also requires great care,"

"Once the wrong method is used,"

"It may very well affect an Immortal Herb's medicinal efficacy."

Lin Du spoke with ease, Looking every bit the learned scholar.

"So that's how it is."

Qian Renxue sat down beside him with her legs together, After nodding lightly as though she understood, She simply propped her cheek up with her slender, snow-white arm, Quietly watching Lin Du bustle about, For some reason, it gave her a sense of peaceful, tranquil days.
