This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

He did not find Qingyi's seemingly crude and indecent behavior excessive or offensive.

On the contrary, after spending this time together, he clearly understood what kind of person Qingyi was.

She valued her purity more than most women in the world.

If she makes intimate gestures towards you, it means she approves of you and that you hold a special place in her heart.

So, Qingyi is now giving me the spirit fruit she only has half left to eat... Could it be that she...?

"Do you want it or not? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Hearing Su Yu urging him, Li Cangyao immediately came back to his senses.

He looked at the faint luster on the flesh of the spirit fruit and even smelled a sweet fragrance emanating from it, feeling a slight dryness in his mouth.

So, as if possessed, he reached out and grabbed the last half of the spirit fruit.

However, just as the palm was extended...

Su Yu immediately took out a whole spiritual fruit from the fruit basket and tossed it to Li Cangyao.

"Eat it, it's quite sweet."

Li Cangyao caught the whole spiritual fruit that was thrown at him, and was somewhat dazed by the sight.

???

When Qingyi said she wanted to eat a whole spiritual fruit again, did she mean not the half-eaten one?

Did I misunderstand her meaning?

"......"

"What? Don't you like it?" Su Yu looked at him in confusion.

"No, I like it, I like it very much..."

Meeting her pure and innocent gaze, Li Cangyao felt a burning pain on his face and was extremely ashamed.

It turns out that "Qingyi" didn't mean that at all.

It was my own evil thoughts that led me to this.

I deserve to die! My mind is wicked!

Li Cangyao immediately stood up with the spiritual fruit in his hand. He had originally wanted to stay with Qingyi a little longer, after all, her clothes were so rare and so beautiful. But now he was so ashamed that he just wanted to leave.

"Qingyi, it's getting late, I should go."

"Aren't you staying a little longer?"

"No, no, see you tomorrow."

Li Cangyao slunk away.

Watching the other person's disheveled figure, Su Yu silently ate the spirit fruit without saying a word.

[Host, you didn't do this on purpose, did you?]

"What do you mean by intentional or unintentional? Didn't he want to eat the spirit fruit?" Su Yu pretended to be puzzled.

【….】

"Although this guy is somewhat obedient to me, his arrogance is innate, as if it's etched into his bones."

【so what? 】

"After these few days of disputes, he seems to have fallen for me, but due to his personality, he prefers to treat me as his exclusive possession, not allowing anyone else to touch me."

[Isn't this a thought that both men and women would have? Who wants their significant other to be ambiguous with other people of the opposite sex?]

Su Yu shook her head. "No, Li Cangyao is still somewhat different."

"Take Ye Xuan and Ji Ruqing as an example. If it were Ye Xuan and Ji Ruqing, they would like each other and be willing to focus on each other for life."

"Li Cangyao, on the other hand, would rather include her in his harem. If he meets someone he likes in the future, he will not stop pursuing her."

"Of course, I also know that this is mostly due to his identity."

The system did not refute this, but instead asked:

[So, shall we just turn against him and quit? This system can't bear to see our dear host suffer such injustice!]

[If I'm going to marry, I'll marry a romantic like Ye Xuan and Ji Ruqing!]

Su Yu's face darkened. "You're trying to force me to marry someone, aren't you? So I can't get married?"

[Marry what? Marry the destined male lead or the others?]

[Great idea, host! A novel approach, isn't it? This system fully supports you!]

"......"

"System, I've noticed that your thinking is getting more and more outrageous and increasingly infuriating."

Su Yu said quietly.

He can't marry a man; he has to marry a woman, okay?

He wouldn't restrict Li Cangyao and the others; they could do whatever they wanted.

Their emotions are free.

I only got close because I needed to invest...

The next day.

After quickly tidying up, Su Yu left the manor under Li Cangyao's guidance.

Fengpu Mountain, located at the junction of the Eastern and Northern Xuan Domains, is composed of 100,000 precipitous peaks.

A small portion of it is a dangerous place untouched by any living creature, while most of it is occupied by monsters.

Furthermore, due to its remote and treacherous geographical location, sandwiched between two major domains, it is rarely frequented by ordinary human cultivators.

The site that was discovered this time is located in a secluded valley on the west side of Fengpu Mountain.

Su Yu and her companion did not set off too quickly. Firstly, the ruins had not been fully revealed, and secondly, it was Su Yu's first time leaving the Eastern Xuan Region, so she preferred to travel and enjoy the scenery.

After two days, the two finally arrived at the western part of Fengpu Mountain.

nightfall.

A silver moon hangs high in the sky, its silver light shining on the mountains and forests, casting a silvery glow and driving away the surrounding darkness.

Around the campfire.

Li Cangyao smiled softly at Su Yu, who was grilling a spirit fish:

"The ruins will be fully revealed in about two days. We'll stay outside for two days. Qingyi, come with me into the valley then, and don't wander off."

Su Yu carefully turned the fish meat in her hands.

"This site can be considered a training exercise. If it's suitable, I should make a move. After all, my injuries have almost healed, and I want to test my true strength."

It has been two months since he fell into a coma in the void. During this time, he has been injured most of the time and has not been able to test his true combat strength.

If there is a crisis at this site, it could be a good opportunity.

Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Li Cangyao pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement, "I'll listen to you. If you can, Qingyi, you can take action yourself."

"But it's still best to be cautious."

Su Yu nodded rather perfunctorily. This guy always says these kinds of things with that face, as if they're old friends.

Just as the two were resting, a soft rustling sound came from the bushes not far away.

Several footsteps echoed through the jungle as they approached.

somebody is coming?

Su Yu's divine sense and Li Cangyao's hearing both easily detected the newcomer.

However, they remained unmoved and continued doing what they were doing as if nothing had happened.

Before long, dozens of figures emerged from under the tree canopy in the distance.

Leading the group were two elderly men.

An elderly man in a green robe, nearing seventy, had deep, piercing eyes and an aura that was terrifyingly powerful, indicating he had reached the mid-stage of the Heavenly Venerable realm.

An old woman in a gray robe, her face covered with wrinkles and her temples gray, was also at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

Beside them stood a man and a woman, both dressed in cyan attire, whose bearing and appearance stood out among the disciples.

The young man was nearly twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, handsome and dashing, with a cultivation level that had reached the late stage of the King Realm.

The woman was in her early twenties. She was graceful and beautiful, like a lotus emerging from the water, pure and refined like a blue lotus. Her cultivation was also quite strong, having reached the early stage of the Kinghood.

Behind him were a group of disciples from the same sect.

The crowd was stunned when they saw the man and woman by the campfire.

The old man in the green robe squinted and looked them over, exchanged a glance with the old woman, and finally shook his head at the wary crowd before leading them to Su Yu and the other person.
