"You, what are you doing?" She said as she struggled to get up.

Ye Xinghe held her tightly, and coaxed her in a low voice, "Don't move. Take a rest if you are tired."

Rest in his arms? Jiang Lingyue was stunned for a moment.

His arms were warm, with a refreshing scent that belonged to him, and it seemed to be quite good. Forget it, they had already slept together, and it wouldn't hurt to lean on him. Thinking of this, she gave up resisting.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, Fang Chengyu asked in surprise from behind.

Hearing the voice, Jiang Lingyue was startled and reflexively pushed Ye Xinghe away.

Suddenly being pushed away, Ye Xinghe frowned and glanced at the uninvited guest with an unfriendly look.

Fang Chengyu walked a few steps closer, sat on the other side of her angrily, and stared at Ye Xinghe viciously.

Both men saw naked disgust in each other's eyes.

Then, Fang Chengyu turned around and looked at Jiang Lingyue with resentment.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Lingyue was confused. If someone didn't know her, they might think she had abandoned him and hooked up with another man.

Fang Chengyu became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He had never hugged his sister, and this guy, who was not his sister's husband, had gotten there first. He was just a little more handsome, what was so great about that?

Sitting between the two of them, Jiang Lingyue felt like there was something stuck in her throat and a thorn in her back. She was most afraid that the air would suddenly become quiet and no one would talk anymore. She would really sweat profusely.

So, she had no choice but to make small talk, "Elder Fang, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"Can't I come to you if nothing happens?"

Fang Chengyu pouted, and with his delicate and handsome baby face, he looked like a rebellious teenager with his hair standing on end.

"Of course." Jiang Lingyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why was he acting like a little child?

After hearing her answer, Fang Chengyu's expression softened.

"But I do have something to talk to you about." Fang Chengyu said, taking out a wooden box from his storage ring and handing it to her, "Open it and take a look."

Jiang Lingyue took the wooden box doubtfully, opened it and saw a palm-sized blood-red Ganoderma lucidum lying inside.

"This is blood ganoderma!" she cried out, "Where did you get it?"

Blood Ganoderma is an extremely precious medicinal herb that has the ability to bring the dead back to life, and it is in short supply even at auctions.

"I picked it up accidentally when I was traveling before." Fang Chengyu said proudly, "It's useless for me to keep it. You are good at refining pills, so this blood ganoderma is just right for you."

"This is too valuable. I can't accept it." Jiang Lingyue quickly pushed the wooden box back to him. "No merit, no reward. I appreciate Elder Fang's kindness."

"Consider it as an apology for accidentally hurting you last time. You are not allowed to refuse." Fang Chengyu pushed the wooden box over again.

Jiang Lingyue wanted to refuse, but Ye Xinghe suddenly said, "If you don't like it, I can burn it for you."

"Looking for death!" Fang Chengyu glared at Ye Xinghe and stood up suddenly.

Fearing that the two would start fighting, Jiang Lingyue glared at Ye Xinghe and at the same time reached out to grab Fang Chengyu.

He quickly tried to smooth things over, "Thank...thank you, Elder Fang. I'll accept the blood ganoderma."

Fang Chengyu was satisfied and sat down again, "That's good enough."

Then a system prompt sounded.

[Fang Chengyu's favorability towards the host +5, current favorability 15. ]

Jiang Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the gentleman was no longer angry.

Fang Chengyu is a master in the late Nascent Soul stage. It would be absolutely harmful to Ye Xinghe if he offended him.

She had to watch out and not let them fight. Even now, Fang Chengyu suppressed his realm, and Ye Xinghe would suffer a loss if they fought.

Sitting together by the campfire, the three of them had their own thoughts.

After a moment, Jiang Lingyue felt really embarrassed and stood up to leave.

"It's getting late. I'm going to go back and rest."

"I'll take you there." Fang Chengyu immediately stood up and left with Jiang Lingyue.

Ye Xinghe slowed down a step and looked at the backs of the two people, feeling a little uncomfortable.

……

Jiang Lingyue and Fang Chengyu walked side by side, and no one spoke along the way. It was not until they were almost at her tent that Fang Chengyu finally couldn't help but speak.

"Sister, do you like the guy named Ye?"

Jiang Lingyue was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly, "What does it matter whether I like him or not? It's impossible for him and I to be together."

"Then why did you let him hug you?" Fang Chengyu asked relentlessly.

"Well, it was just an accident." Jiang Lingyue sighed helplessly, "The situation between us is a little complicated."

Fang Chengyu curled his lips, obviously not believing it.

"An accident... like this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly.

Jiang Lingyue had never expected him to do such a thing. Her eyes widened in shock and her mind went blank in an instant, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Her body was extremely stiff, and she was at a loss as he held her in his arms, feeling his hot breath.

Coming back to her senses, she quickly broke away from the other person's embrace, "What are you doing?"

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it." Fang Chengyu looked at her, his eyes serious and crazy, "Sister, I like you. I can do what he can do, and I can only do it better than him."

Jiang Lingyue was stunned. She had never thought that Fang Chengyu would say such a thing.

"Don't be ridiculous, Elder Fang." Jiang Lingyue forced a smile and tried to change the subject. "Thank you for the blood ganoderma. I appreciate it."

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious."

Fang Chengyu grabbed her hand and prevented her from escaping. "Sister, my heart was moved from the first moment I saw you."

"You are just attracted by her beauty." Jiang Lingyue retorted by shaking her head.

"No matter if he was attracted by your beauty or fell in love at first sight, I just like you, only you." Fang Chengyu insisted stubbornly, "My way has always been to follow my heart."

Jiang Lingyue was flustered, she didn't know how to respond to Fang Chengyu's confession. She just felt that everything had become a mess.

"But, I..."

"It's okay, you don't have to answer right away." Fearing that she would refuse, Fang Chengyu interrupted her and looked down at her with burning eyes, "I can wait, no matter how long it takes."

After saying that, Fang Chengyu turned around and left quickly without waiting for her to answer.

[Fang Chengyu's favorability towards the host +5, current favorability 20. ]

After hearing the system prompt, she stood there alone, watching Fang Chengyu's departing back, her heart in a mess.

Fang Chengyu's confession caused ripples in her originally calm heart, and she had to re-examine her feelings for him. She admired and feared Fang Chengyu, but she didn't seem to hate him.

Back in the tent, she was upset, tossing and turning, and her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

After much thought, Jiang Lingyue decided to put aside these worries for the time being, have a good rest, and focus on cultivation.

She believes that time will give the answer.
