Chapter 146: Dont Be Afraid, Im Not a Bad Person
Li Ran smiled kindly. "Female Patron, don't be afraid. This Penniless Monk is not a bad person."
"I know!" Lin Langyue blushed.
For some reason, this guy had only spoken a few words, but it always made her blush and her heart race.
"Good, good!" A smile flashed across Li Ran's eyes.
He looked at the Daoist nun who was used to sitting high in the clouds with calmness.
Now, she was flushed and embarrassed.
How exciting!
Seeing that Lin Langyue was about to lose her cool, Li Ran stopped as well.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."
He yawned. "I'm too full. I'm going to sleep first.
“If you're tired, you can come up and lie down. The bed is big enough anyway.”
"No need. Go to sleep by yourself." Lin Langyue shook her head.
Li Ran said casually, "Whatever. But I don't know how much longer we'll be trapped. You don't plan to squat down and sleep, right?"
After saying that, he closed his eyes and did not speak.
The atmosphere quieted down.
Lin Langyue squatted in the corner and sighed.
"He's right. I don't know how much longer I'll be stuck here. I can't do anything by squatting here."
"But there's only one bed. I can't sleep with him, right?"
She thought back to Li Ran's words and blushed for no reason.
Then, she shook her head forcefully and said, "No, no, no, I'm not dead yet. So what’s the point of sleeping on a bed?"
Lin Langyue squatted in the corner for a while, and a sense of sleepiness began to rise.
She had been massaging Li Ran for nearly four hours. She was already fatigued. Coupled with the intense emotional fluctuations, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.
But she was squatting on the ground, and her legs were sore and numb.
She couldn't fall asleep.
"I really want to lie down for a while…"
Lin Langyue looked up and saw that Li Ran was lying on the center of the bed. There was ample space for her to sleep as if it was specially reserved for her.
"Why don't I just take a nap?"
Lin Langyue hesitated for a long time before she got up and tiptoed.
Seeing that Li Ran's breathing was steady, it seemed like he was really asleep.
She slowly lay on the other side and heard Li Ran's even breathing. Her heart almost jumped out.
"Master, it's my fault… But it's uncomfortable to squat!"
Not long after, a sense of sleepiness surged over her like a tide. She fell asleep while her imagination ran wild.

Southern Wind City…
In the City Lord's Mansion, Sheng Zhixia's expression was grave.
"Are you saying that Sheng Zi and Fairy Lin are both missing?"
Yue Jianli nodded. "The changes in the Grand Myriad Mountain Range were caused by Yu Ye. Lin Langyue and I accidentally bumped into each other and started fighting. Li Ran arrived after that."
Qin Ruyan added, "Sheng Zi Li asked me to bring Yue Jianli back first. And that he and Lin Langyue will stay behind to deal with Yu Ye, but by the time I returned, they are gone."
Sheng Zhixia frowned.
The top disciples of two huge sects, the strongest of the younger generation, had actually disappeared so mysteriously?
This was a serious matter!
Sheng Zhixia asked, "How many days has it been?"
Yue Jianli's face turned pale. "It’s been three days…"
She was very confident in Li Ran's strength.
However, she hadn't heard anything for the past two days, and her heart was slowly rising.
Could it be that an expert from the Yin Corpse Dao had made a move?
Sheng Zhixia thought for a moment and said, "How about this? First, General Wang and I will continue to search the mountain. Then, you two can go to explain this matter to Youlou Temple and Tianshu Institute."
The difficulty of winning against a Deity Transformation Realm as a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was low.
If something really happened to the two of them, the anger of the two top sects would be unbearable!
Aside from their status, they were the main contributors during the battle against Beast Tide. They had protected Southern Wind City, and she did not want anything to happen to them.
Qin Ruyan said to Yue Jianli, “I’ll immediately head to Youluo Temple to inform Sect Master Leng of the situation. As for the Tianshu Institute, I'll leave it to you."
"Okay." Yue Jianli nodded.
Just as the two were about to leave, Sheng Zhixia stopped them.
"The journey is too long. I don't know how long it will take to fly alone."
She took out two jade pieces. "These are my tokens. With this, all the cities along the way will cooperate with you. Whether it's the airboat or the teleportation array, you can use them as you like."
"That's great. I don't know how much the travel time can be shortened with this!"
Yue Jianli said gratefully, “Thank you, Third Princess!”
Sheng Zhixia said with a serious expression, “They are the heroes of Southern Wind City. This is what I should do. The two of you should set off immediately. Don't miss out on business."
Yue Jianli and Qin Ruyan nodded and left the City Lord's Mansion.
Sheng Zhixia looked out the window and prayed silently.
"I hope they're okay…"
—
Lin Langyue opened her eyes in confusion.
There was no change in the sun and moon in this secret chamber, and she was so drowsy that she didn’t know how long she had slept.
"It's still comfortable to lie down and sleep!"
She dilly-dallied for a moment, looking very pleased.
"I wonder what kind of material this pillow is made of. It's moderately soft and hard, and it's still warm…"
Lin Langyue suddenly realized something and opened her eyes.
She could only see that she was leaning back in Li Ran's arms. The pillow under her head was her strong arm!
Li Ran's other hand was wrapped around her lower abdomen, and his nose was breathing evenly on her neck.
Lin Langyue's body froze, and her heart trembled.
"H-how could I be in his arms?"
She wanted to break free from his embrace, but she didn't know if it was because she had just woken up, but she couldn't lift her whole body.
“Huh?”
With a soft sound, Li Ran woke up.
Lin Langyue hastily closed her eyes and didn't dare to move.
Li Ran rubbed his eyes in confusion. When he saw the situation clearly, he was stunned.
"Ah, this…"
Why was there someone in his arms when he woke up?
"Lin Langyue, wake up."
Li Ran pushed her, but the other party did not move.
When he looked carefully, he saw that her cheeks were bright red, her eyes were tightly shut, and her breathing was somewhat hurried.
She was obviously pretending to be asleep.
Li Ran cleared his throat and deliberately said, "Female Patron, if you don't wake up, this Penniless Monk will not be polite."
"I'm awake!" Lin Langyue hurriedly sat up.
Looking at Li Ran's smile, she was so embarrassed that she couldn't lift her head.
"You promised to sleep on your own. You weren’t honest!" She blushed.
Li Ran was speechless. "I told you to sleep here. Who told you to crawl into my arms?"
At this point, he checked his clothes and said warily, "You didn't do anything indescribable to me while I was asleep, did you?"
Lin Langyue was ashamed and indignant. "You, you're shameless!"
