The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

Originally, Lin Chuan didn't like to think about those things beneath the surface. Only during certain times did physiological changes make him feel a heart-wrenching torment.

Lin Chuan's inner struggle was somewhat alleviated by the breeze around him.

Soon, with the Thousand-Mile Horse carrying the two people, they arrived at the village. As the speed of the horse slowed, the people around quickly straightened their bodies.

By the hazy moonlight, the desolation of this place suddenly appeared before them.

The once old houses were now filled with gloom. Along with the faint sound of wind around them, the leaves on the trees not far away shook urgently, making a crisp sound, as if telling these people that they shouldn't be here.

Seeing the desolation around, Zheng Xiuzhi and Jin Leilei grew somewhat nervous. When Lin Chuan and Zheng Xiuzhi began to walk down, the two of their bodies drew close together, as if it was the only way to find comfort.

The village streets were actually still in their original state, and even after the two left, there wasn't much change.

Suddenly, a faint sound came from not far away.

At first, Zheng Xiuzhi didn't pay attention. But as the sound became more prominent, she began to feel nervous. Grabbing onto Lin Chuan, her heart soon found a bit of steadiness.

After a brief exchange of looks, the two stepped forward again.

Although after getting off the Thousand-Mile Horse, they clearly felt a bit warmer, as they walked, the cold air around them continued to invade their skin.

At this moment, Lin Chuan's strong hand had already firmly grasped Zheng Xiuzhi's hand. He could feel her body trembling slightly, as if the air around had deprived her of warmth.

"Do we really need to keep going? I'm starting to feel uneasy..."

Usually quick to speak, Zheng Xiuzhi now spoke in a noticeably softer voice, as if unwilling to disturb the unusualness ahead.

With a simple movement from Lin Chuan, Zheng Xiuzhi's body snuggled into his embrace.

In the past, Zheng Xiuzhi would never have accepted this, especially given that their relationship wasn't a true family bond.

But now, this situation had changed. Zheng Xiuzhi was more than willing to lean into Lin Chuan's arms, for she longed for the warmth within, which seemed to hold a certain tenderness.

"Don't be afraid, we're just here to have a good look. Don't worry, nothing will happen to us." As Lin Chuan spoke, they had already stopped. They simply looked around.

Often, Zheng Xiuzhi yearned for the tenderness she found with Lin Chuan. At this moment, she truly lost her sanity.

Even as Lin Chuan's voice had not completely faded, she leaned directly into his arms.

Their footsteps moved forward again.

The sound from not far away had now quieted significantly. In fact, when the sound of their footsteps began, the sound ahead had stopped.

Living in such an environment for many years, Lin Chuan suddenly thought of the source of the sound. He couldn't help but laugh. "Don't be afraid, it's probably just something like a weasel..."

Lin Chuan's voice caused the sounds not far away to completely cease.

However, upon hearing this, Zheng Xiuzhi felt a sense of confusion.

There hadn't been a trace of human presence here for a long time. What could a weasel possibly find to eat here?

With this simple thought emerging in Zheng Xiuzhi's mind, her body displayed a sense of ease.

"When you say that, did you see something? Or are you just guessing?"

Despite Lin Chuan's explanation, Zheng Xiuzhi felt somewhat skeptical. In fact, she hoped that what he said was true. At least this way, her fear wouldn't be overwhelming.

"I'm considering this: since so many corpses have appeared here, there are bound to be small animals lingering. After all, finding food is what they have to face. So many corpses are like a feast prepared for them. If these small creatures have appeared, there must be larger ones, too."

Lin Chuan's voice was not loud. In the meantime, the sounds from afar had disappeared.

Judging by the previous route, the source of the sound was right around here. In their memory, this area was where the bodies were buried.

After Lin Chuan's simple analysis, Zheng Xiuzhi gradually understood. At this moment, even her previously awkward movements seemed much more cheerful.

However, in Lin Chuan's mind, he still enjoyed watching Zheng Xiuzhi, looking bright and relaxed in front of him.

Suddenly, on the roadside not far away, Jin Leilei saw a small creature running continuously forward.

The nimble creature also noticed something massive blocking its path not far ahead, so it had already slowed its pace.

"Look quickly, what is that thing up ahead..."

Zheng Xiuzhi's words immediately made Jin Leilei beside her a bit nervous.

In a position not far from the ground, a blue shock of electricity emerged. Fortunately, Lin Chuan's lightning was not far ahead, otherwise, the two women would have been scared to death, especially since the atmosphere around them was so strange.

"Damn, who cares what it is. I just don't believe it. How much trouble could such a tiny creature cause? Charge ahead!"

Jin Leilei, who usually remained cautious, suddenly spoke up. Following her words, she deliberately smacked Qianli Ju.

Faced with the mystery, Qianli Ju was also somewhat worried. Just as Jin Leilei took action, Qianli Ju suddenly increased its forward speed, charging directly toward the glowing point ahead.

With Qianli Ju's movement, the seated Zheng Xiuzhi and Jin Leilei already gripped their swords, seemingly prepared for anything.

The glowing blue point was actually a small animal, though it had been training for a long time, which earned it a feature many of its kind envied. But when it encountered the massive figure ahead while trying to escape, it was instantly terrified.

Often the balance among beasts is judged by such feelings. With Qianli Ju being on a completely different level compared to it, after a brief shock, the little creature seemed to want to rely on a corner to wait for whoever it was to pass before moving.

However, Qianli Ju gave it no such chance, charging directly towards it.

At this critical moment, the creature suddenly realized that there were two people on Qianli Ju, armed and gazing at it threateningly, seemingly ready to fight at any moment.

The agile creature made a swift turn and shot off in a different direction. But after running for some distance, it stopped completely, blinking repeatedly to watch the changes behind it.

Seeing the fleeing figure brought some joy to Qianli Ju. Seated at the back, Zheng Xiuzhi and company kept craning their necks to look at the charming little figure.

"Although that thing on its head seems eerie, it's rather cute," Zheng Xiuzhi casually remarked after observing the creature for a while.

"Sister, forget it. You said it was cute before, and in the end, Lin Chuan ended up capturing it, making it his pet. If we're capable this time, we should capture it ourselves, make it ours, or just kill it. At any rate, we mustn't let it become someone else's pet,"

Jin Leilei was not satisfied with Zheng Xiuzhi's words. As she spoke, the resentment on her face seemed to knot into a tangled ball.

"Haha. You're funny, sister. If you think so, go ahead. Whether you catch it is entirely up to your skill. I don't want to get mixed up with you and end up upsetting you."

Zheng Xiuzhi displayed a different expression entirely in response to Jin Leilei's words. As she spoke, even her arm drooped down.

Zheng Xiuzhi's reaction was completely unexpected to Jin Leilei. The sensitive young girl subsequently cast several sulky glances at Zheng Xiuzhi. Nevertheless, she soon focused her gaze back on the small creature ahead, since that was the only thing she cared about.

With Qianli Ju drawing ever closer to the little creature, the latter clearly sensed the looming danger. Qianli Ju's size and formidable aura were overwhelming.

"Little beast, if you've got the guts, don't run. Today I'm going to catch you for sure,"

Jin Leilei yelled angrily, quickly dismounting Qianli Ju and chasing after the small creature.

At this moment, Lin Chuan was dragging the Sky-reaching Halberd, having piled the mound to a height surpassing the original house. Even at such a point, there wasn't a hint of satisfaction on his face. It seemed he wouldn't be content until he'd buried the mounds under the soil layer here.

"Lin Chuan, let's go. There's already so much soil on top. No animals could possibly disturb it now,"

Zheng Xiuzhi suggested soothingly from beside him.

At this time, Zheng Xiuzhi's emotions were also somewhat low. After all, every plant and tree here were reasons for her reminiscence. Unbeknownst to her, her family had suffered this calamity. Although the person responsible had been killed, the issue continued to weigh heavily on her mind.

In his state of excitement, Lin Chuan's face and neck were sweating profusely. Following a series of releases, he gradually came to his senses.
