Chapter 482: Bad with a Level (2)_1
"What’s wrong? Did I say something incorrect, or do you regret what you’ve just said?" Yang Ruxin noticed that he seemed to be in a daze and couldn’t help but poke his nose and stroke his face, even fantasizing about what he would look like with a beard when he got old. He would definitely be a handsome old man.
"I will never regret the words I’ve spoken to you," Gu Qingheng grasped her mischievous hand. "The reason I didn’t say anything just now was because when I heard you say ’this place,’ I didn’t quite know how to respond, making it seem as though you’re not from around here..."

You are not allowed to leave on your own, don’t even think about it..." At that moment, he suddenly felt an inexplicable fear. He didn’t believe she was a monster or a fairy, but that last bit about possession genuinely unsettled him. Although scholars aren’t superstitious, some things are inexplicable, and he couldn’t imagine living his days without her.
"Silly," Yang Ruxin’s heart warmed as she touched his face, "I was just joking; did you take it seriously? If I were a monster or a ghost, I would have already flayed and drained the blood of those who bullied me..."
