Tang Wulin and Xie Xie fell silent at the same time.

Gu Yue walked to the door and came to a stop.

Her gaze swept across both of their faces.

"Move."

The two words were as cold as ice picks, piercing into the air.

Tang Wulin instinctively took a step back.

Xie Xie didn't move, though the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Gu Yue said nothing more.

She took a deep breath and raised her hand.

The moment her fingertips were about to touch the door panel—

The door opened from the inside.

Lin An stood in the doorway.

Morning light slanted in from the window, falling upon him.

His face still held the languor of someone who had just woken up.

His skin was very fair, and his eyelashes cast faint shadows beneath his eyelids.

He wore a simple white shirt, the collar slightly open, revealing a sliver of slender collarbone.

Tang Wulin's face turned red instantly.

He hurriedly averted his gaze, staring at the tips of his shoes.

Xie Xie's hand trembled, causing the soy milk in his plastic cup to slosh and nearly spill.

Gu Yue opened her mouth.

All her anger, all her resentment, and all the interrogations she had rehearsed repeatedly in her heart vanished into thin air the moment she saw that face.

She only managed to say one sentence.

"You're awake?"

Her voice was so soft it didn't sound like her own, carrying a hint of hoarseness.

Lin An looked at the three people blocking his doorway, then glanced at the group of students craning their necks in the hallway, feeling somewhat helpless.

He had been cultivating last night, and this crowd had been leeching off his energy all night long.

Now that it was daylight, why were there even more people?

The moment he appeared, the gazes in the hallway turned scorching hot.

"It really is him!"

"That seven-colored light from last night... standing next to him really does make cultivation speed faster!"

"He looks even better up close..."

The initial hostility and dissatisfaction melted away silently in the face of tangible benefits.

Gu Yue had no mind to pay attention to the people behind her.

She stared blankly at Lin An.

The youth had just woken up; a strand of his hair was slightly sticking up, and his face held a dazed, sleepy expression.

Paired with that face, it made one unable to resist—

No, it made a dragon unable to resist.

She wanted to pounce into his arms, wanted to lick his face, wanted to see him wear an expression of shock.

Gu Yue's throat bobbed.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

An unnatural flush of red rose to her face.

Lin An sensed something.

He lowered his head, glanced at his slightly open collar, and calmly covered that patch of overly pale skin.

This group of people...

Their eyes were all wrong.

As expected, humans who hadn't been neutered were all flawed.

"I already know about the matter."

He spoke, his tone very indifferent. "I paid the fine for you. Don't send me any more messages in the future."

Gu Yue froze in place.

It was as if a basin of ice water had been poured over her head, the chill instantly soaking through her entire body.

The unrealistic fantasies of last night shattered completely at this moment.

She did not care.

What fines, what disciplinary notices—how could she possibly care about such things?

But he had said, "Don't send any more messages in the future."

Gu Yue's eyes turned red in an instant.

Moisture gathered rapidly.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were currently feeling awkward.

Having been caught peeking just moments ago, they didn't know where to look.

They hadn't noticed Gu Yue's unusual state at all.

"So... sorry, I didn't mean to."

Tang Wulin's face flushed red as he mumbled, handing over the bag he had been clutching for a long time.

"Bre... breakfast... steamed buns and soy milk, they're still hot."

"Me too!"

Xie Xie hurriedly raised the soy milk, fried dough sticks, and sliced fruit in his hands, chiming in repeatedly.

Lin An looked at the two bags of breakfast, a faint curve appearing on his face.

"Thank you."

Then, he shifted the topic.

"However, I still advise you to get neutered early to completely eliminate your weaknesses."

Tang Wulin's hand, still holding the steamed buns, froze in mid-air.

His face slowly turned from bright red to deathly pale.

"No... no need, I want to challenge my own soft spot."

He shook his head repeatedly, his ears turning beet red.

At an age when one's heart was just beginning to stir, being told by the person he admired to get neutered was something he couldn't accept no matter what.

He even subconsciously squeezed his legs together.

Gu Yue watched Lin An's aloofness and indifference toward her, then watched him smile at Tang Wulin.

Her heart felt as if it had been gripped tightly and twisted by someone.

It ached with bitterness.

She stepped forward, her voice extremely low, carrying a hint of stubbornness and irrepressible grievance.

"I'm telling the truth. You really were my wife in a past life. I'm not lying to you."

With red eyes, she stared stubbornly at Lin An.

"Are you still unwilling to acknowledge me?"

Tang Wulin was completely stunned.

He stood rooted to the spot, his mind buzzing.

Previously, he had always felt that Gu Yue had some indescribable feelings for him.

But at this moment, watching Gu Yue with red eyes telling Lin An, "You were my wife in a past life"—

He suddenly felt that he was nothing but a joke.

A clown.

It turned out that from beginning to end, he had been the only one indulging in wishful thinking.

An indescribable sense of loss welled up, pressing heavily against his chest.

At the same time, a more subtle hostility quietly sprouted in the depths of his heart.

The lingering affection he had held for Gu Yue vanished completely at this moment.

Replacing it was a sense of vigilance and rejection born from instinct.

He still maintained his honest expression.

But the way he looked at Gu Yue had already turned cold.

"Damn, Gu Yue, what are you doing!"

Xie Xie couldn't take it anymore and complained with a look of annoyance.

"Didn't you like Wulin just a few days ago? You've changed your affections today? You only added him as a friend yesterday—"

Before he could finish, Gu Yue kicked out at him.

"Shut up!"

Gu Yue's purple eyes suddenly narrowed, transforming into cold, vertical slits.

An aura of extreme danger began to radiate from her body.

"I'm warning you. From now on, you are not allowed to speak to Lin An."

"Don't think I don't know what kind of wicked schemes you're plotting."

There was no mistake.

This face.

This aura.

This mark that had haunted her dreams for hundreds of thousands of years.

This was her Dragon Queen.

It was the reincarnation she had waited endless ages to be reunited with.

It was her wife from a past life.

Even though she was currently only half of the Dragon God, she would never allow anyone to lay a finger on her.

Early this morning, seeing those two bastards lurking sneakily at the Dragon Queen's door, the string in her heart had snapped to its limit.

She was afraid.

Afraid that one day she would wake up to find herself wearing a green hat.

"Enough... Gu Yue."

Lin An rubbed his temples, his voice laced with exhaustion.

"That's not what I meant."

He sighed.

"My communicator, and even my every move, is under constant surveillance. That's why I told you not to send me messages so casually. Listen, getting close to me is dangerous."

This was the truth.

The Lin Family's security system monitored all of his communications at all times.

If Gu Yue continued to contact him frequently, it would sooner or later attract unnecessary attention.

He said this half for Gu Yue's sake, and half to save himself the trouble.

More importantly—

Gu Yue should have known when to retreat.

Wasn't she trying to revive the soul beast clan and take revenge on the human world?

Getting tangled up with a human like him, who was under such tight surveillance, would do her grand plan no good.

Lin An felt that any normal person would have backed off after hearing such words.

But he had underestimated Gu Yue.
