I'll Tell Auntie!

That's roughly the situation...

Jiyan nodded. "So, He can use the Tacet Discord to form a formation to create Resonance Circuit, and then create a giant avatar?"

"It also possesses some rule-based skills... and doesn't require the user's physical presence to activate them?"

"In the end, you fought Him to a standstill all by yourself?"

"It's not exactly a draw..." Lu Guan shrugged. "I could still kill him outright, but the cost would be too high. Anyway, this trip was just about gathering intelligence, so as long as we achieve our goal, that's enough."

"If I keep going like this, my stamina won't be enough, and I'll have to use my trump card. And even if I do, it'll be hard to force its true form to engage, plus it might not even continue fighting me..."

"The situation is dire... This level of battle is beyond the capabilities of ordinary Calamity Class experts." Jiyan sighed. "I estimate we might need Sentinel -level fighter to participate..."

"General Jiyan, you are a local. How is the Sentinel doing now? Can he be considered a major fighting force on our side?" Lu Guan asked knowingly. "If we include the Sentinel, we might have a chance to overcome this crisis with minimal losses."

"... To be honest, I don't know anything about the Sentinel's situation either." Jiyan shook his head. "Since that battle three years ago, after receiving His guidance, I have rarely... no... never seen Him..."

Jiyan remained silent for a while, seemingly trying to make amends for his slip of the tongue, but after much hesitation, he swallowed back what he was about to say and instead spoke to Lu Guan.

"If Young Master Lu wishes to know more, he can return to Jinzhou. As Resonator of the Sentinel, the Magistrate Jin should know His current situation better than I do..."

"Jinzhou..." Lu Guan pondered for a moment, then looked up and agreed, "It's time to go back and see Jinhsi..."

"In that case... General, Yangyang's health is not good right now. If she continues to stay at the front line, she will only be a burden to you. How about I take her back to the city to rest for a while?"

Jiyan nodded. "That's only right."

On the way back to Jinzhou.

Lu Guan suddenly sighed for no apparent reason, "Sigh... it's really painful."

"What's wrong? Were you injured in the battle with Threnodian?" Yangyang worriedly, holding Lu Guan's arm.

"Damn it! Can't you speak normally for once?" Lu Guan quickly pulled his arm back, looking at her warily. "Cousin, you're really scaring me!"

Seeing that her good intentions had been misunderstood by Lu Guan, Yangyang's expression froze, then her face darkened, and veins bulged on her forehead.

Having been exposed as uneducated, Yangyang hesitated for a long time before finally uttering a harmless remark to the guy in front of her. "You... you've gone too far! I was just concerned about you!"

"No, no..." Lu Guan waved his hands repeatedly in refusal, "Can you please go back to your previous attitude? The way you're acting makes me feel like you're going to shave my head while I'm sleeping..."

Feeling guilty for having her thoughts exposed, Yangyang turned her head away. "If you don't appreciate it, fine... just consider it a mistake on my part."

"Ahem... That's exactly what you think, isn't it?"

"No, that's not true! Don't slander me! Or I'll tell my aunt!"

"Are you a child? Always tattling..."

"Mind your own business! As long as it works for you!"

"You've got it wrong. I have a separate family tree now... my parents can't scold me!"

"A separate genealogy?" Yangyang asked in astonishment. "What did you do? Why did you leave the Lu Family? Was it because of those old fogies...?"

"It's not a big deal..." Lu Guan shook his head. "Although the Ming Court passed the relevant bill, due to some public opinion issues, I had no choice but to use this method to resolve Dania's troubles."

"Public opinion... you're afraid of that?"

"Idiots are contagious... you moron!" Lu Guan lightly flicked the girl's forehead. "Do you think I'd kill everyone?"

"Then what's the difference Fractsidus?"

"You're bullying me again... I'm going to tell Auntie!"

"Idiot... I told you that trick won't work."

"You... you little devil!" Yangyang was so angry she gritted her teeth. Why did this guy always say things that made her angry just when she was starting to like him...?

What did I do to offend him? Why is he treating me like this?

Let's put ourselves in their shoes. If you were a child and someone chased you for two blocks, then caught, hung up, and beat you in front of all your peers, wouldn't you remember that for the rest of your life?

"Hmph~ What can you do to me?" Lu Guan smiled wickedly. He loved seeing the mysterious letter-writing woman break down and go crazy.

"I... you... you're driving me crazy!" Yangyang gritted her teeth, pulled out her phone, and turned on the camera. "I refuse to believe this won't work on you!"

"Hmph, what else can you do?" Lu Guan scoffed mockingly. "You're not thinking of secretly taking some unflattering photos of me, are you?"

"Hmph... Don't worry, I wouldn't do such a thing!" Yangyang's face suddenly flushed for no reason. "You... come here!"

Lu Guan asked warily, "What do you want to do?"

"Weren't you very confident just now? What? Are you scared now?"

"Since you're here... then let's get a little closer..." Lu Guan smiled confidently and walked towards Yangyang.

Following the principle of "a slap followed by a sweet treat," if we keep bullying Yangyang without giving her anything in return...

So the next time I bully her, the feeling of disappointment will make it hard to feel truly satisfied...

Yangyang blushed and pushed Lu Guan away from her body as he pressed against her. "Why... why are you so close..."

"Oh... you're blushing? Come on, let me see!"

"No!" Yangyang turned her head away in protest, while secretly calculating the distance between them in her mind.

"Tsk tsk tsk... You can't even handle this much pressure... If you ask me, Xiao Chu Nu is Xiao Chu Nu, not a bit... Ugh!... Ugh!"

Just as Lu Guan approached Yangyang, she suddenly sprang up, wrapped one arm around his neck, and tiptoed to give him a light peck on the lips, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

At the same time, she pressed the shutter button on her device to capture the moment.

"No... are you crazy?" Lu Guan exclaimed in shock and anger, "Yangyang! Do you know what you're doing?"

"I know, I know all too well." Yangyang snorted and showed Lu Guan the photo taken by the terminal. "Have you ever thought about what would happen if I sent this photo to your aunt and uncle...?"

"No!" Lu Guan swallowed hard.

The Huanglong's form is somewhat similar to that of feudal China in Lu Guan's previous life, where intermarriage between aristocratic families was still common, even between cousins...

If Yangyang sends this photo to her parents, they will most likely encourage her to marry him under the guise of strengthening family ties, so that Yangyang can use her status to suppress her for life...

How could I possibly accept something like this!

Seeing that she had Lu Guan's Achilles' heel, Yangyang finally revealed a happy smile. Although the method was rather shameful, she had finally found a way to control this demonic orb...

"What did you just call me... mysterious letter-writing woman? I won't hold it against you." Yangyang operated the terminal, placing the image on the pre-input screen for her FliChat to Lu Guan's mother, her words brimming with the satisfaction of revenge. "Now... what should you call me?"

"Oh, my beautiful, dignified, and elegant cousin Yangyang!" Lu Guan chose to follow his heart, "Could you please forgive my earlier offense with your noble and kind heart?"

"That's more like it... I didn't realize you were so good at compliments. Call me that from now on! Otherwise, I might..."

"Give it to me!"

While Yangyang was speaking, Lu Guan snatched the terminal from her hand.

Yangyang immediately became anxious.

"Give it back to me! You wicked bastard!"

"All's fair in war... you silly cousin!" Lu Guan smugly, holding the terminal above his head. Because of the height difference Yangyang could only awkwardly jump up to try and snatch it.

"Hehehe~ Can't get it~ Can't get it~" Lu Guan chuckled, shaking the terminal in his hand. "By the way, that kiss you gave me just now... was really moist~"

Upon hearing this, Yangyang blushed completely and, in a moment of desperation, bit Lu Guan's shoulder.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Lu Guan winced in pain, and his grip tightened suddenly. He accidentally pressed the send button, sending the picture to his mother.

Lu Guan and Yangyang stared blankly at the "shocked. jpg" emoji that Yu Lan had replied to on the FliChat. They looked at each other, and then, like bickering lovers, they both turned their heads and snorted coldly.

"Hmph (╯^╰)!"
