Chapter 419

Ghost King's heartfelt words caused the girls beside him to roll their eyes at him.

Gu Chen felt a headache coming on. He only wanted to focus on the crusade against Huangfu Wuji and didn't want to talk about anything else, especially his love affairs.

He had only just met Nalan Xueling today, so it would be absurd for him to get engaged with her.

However, Lu Yichen's guess did make some sense. Gu Chen pondered, if Nalan Su really brought up this matter, how he should deal with it to avoid harming their friendship.

For the next few days, Gu Chen's group stayed at Nalan Clan.

After Nalan Su received Gu Chen on the first day, he found an excuse to not see him for many days and had his granddaughter come often to accompany Gu Chen.

He delayed Gu Chen from talking about business, so Gu Chen could only accompany Nalan Xueling on sightseeing tours every day.

Frostless City was a strange place in Northern Plains. There were spirit veins and hot springs everywhere, so even if it was a world of ice and snow outside, it was like spring in the city all year round.

Spirit veins and hot springs were one of the wonders of Northern Plains. People could not only wash away their fatigue by soaking in them, they could also reap all kinds of benefits.

Gu Chen's group had been traveling to various regions for the past few months and were already exhausted. Seeing this spirit vein hot spring, they all fell in love with it.

Especially the eight girls, they heard that this spirit vein hot spring could maintain youth and improve their skin, so they were even more enthusiastic about it.

As a distinguished guest, Gu Chen enjoyed the spring with the best effect in Frostless City alone.

This spirit vein hot spring indeed had magical effects. After soaking in it a few times, Gu Chen felt that the origin energy in his body that was close to the peak had improved, and his soul also showed faint signs of transformation.

He was only one step away from Heaven Tier. Considering this, he was no longer in a hurry to negotiate with Nalan Su. If he broke through to Saint Tier, he believed that he would have more confidence in the negotiation.

Gu Chen would almost enter the spirit vein hot spring every day. Besides thinking about breaking through, the other reason was that he could justifiably avoid Nalan Xueling.

These days, Nalan Xueling always pestered him with ambiguous words and charming actions, making him somewhat unable to resist.

As soon as he entered the hot spring, Nalan Xueling couldn't follow him, so he finally had some peace and quiet.

At first, because the Nalan Family was too enthusiastic, Gu Chen was still a little wary of them, but there were no abnormalities for many days. He gradually put down his guard, and his attention was attracted by another matter.

It was about White Ape. The little guy had obtained a huge pile of mysterious eggshells in the Ancient Land of the Fey God and ate a few every day.

After eating for such a long time, the eggshell was finally finished, and the egg began to experience an abnormality that had never occurred before.

It started to become drowsy and was not as lively as usual. From time to time, colorful lights would overflow uncontrollably from its body.

In the past few days, it had simply fallen asleep while soaking in the hot spring. No matter how many people called it, it wouldn't wake up.

Gu Chen's attention had been drawn to the white ape's unusual behavior. He had been worried about it for several days.

The energy contained in the eggshell was extremely majestic. He was worried that the little guy had eaten too much and its body couldn't take it. After all, it had eaten far more than Gu Chen.

Fortunately, after a careful inspection, it didn't have any major problems. The blood and qi in its body were vigorous, but it had fallen into a deep sleep and couldn't be woken up.

In the end, a thin layer of colorful crystals even began to form on its body, which was somewhat similar to the eggshell. It was very strange.

Gu Chen guessed that the little guy might be evolving.

So he put it in the Beast Raising Pouch to prevent it from being disturbed.

After that, he also devoted himself to cultivation, looking forward to breaking through to the Heaven Tier as soon as possible. At that time, he would directly go to Nalan Su, that old fox, and have a face-to-face conversation with him.

On this day, Gu Chen came to the spirit vein hot spring as usual, preparing to continue cultivating inside.

His whole body's essence, qi, and spirit had reached a peak. He estimated that he might be able to successfully break through within these few days.

He took off his robe and walked into the hot spring with his naked body. Just as he sat down and enjoyed the warm and comfortable spring water, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He was just about to start cultivating when he heard some slight movements outside.

"Who is it?"

Gu Chen became vigilant.

"It's me."

A soft female voice sounded. Gu Chen recognized that it was Nalan Xueling's voice and frowned.

This was a hot spring. Normally, as long as he came here, Nalan Xueling would be tactful and not follow him. Why did she come today?

Then, he saw Nalan Xueling only wearing a dudou, revealing large patches of snow-white skin on her body. She blushed as she carefully entered the hot spring.

Gu Chen's eyelids twitched. This girl was too bold, wasn't she?

Nalan Xueling entered the hot spring without Gu Chen's permission. That thin dudou was wet by the hot spring water, and the scenery on her body was faintly discernible.

Gu Chen's breathing quickened, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Miss Nalan, this is not a place you should be," he said coldly.

"Young Master Gu is so cruel."

Nalan Xueling's pretty face revealed a bit of sadness. It was truly pitiful.

"These days, Young Master Gu has been avoiding me. Is Xueling really that annoying?"

Nalan Xueling waded into the water towards Gu Chen. Her figure was extremely graceful.

"Of course not. Miss Nalan is a rare beauty. Who would hate such a beautiful thing?"

Gu Chen shook his head, but he kept his eyes closed.

"Then, Young Master Gu, why are you ignoring me?"

Her voice came close to Gu Chen, and Gu Chen finally had no choice but to open his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, the front was filled with turbulent waves, and his vision and senses were all affected.

"Young Master Gu should be able to see that my grandfather and the entire Nalan family have the intention to facilitate our marriage."

Nalan Xueling lightly pursed her red lips and snuggled up to Gu Chen's side.

"As a woman of the Nalan family, I have never had the right to decide my own marriage. Xueling is very lucky. At least the person that my family wants to arrange for me is someone that I truly like. "

Nalan Xueling's eyes wandered. In this hot spring, her jade-like skin was rosy, and it had an even more charming charm.

"I am not suitable for Miss Nalan." Gu Chen sighed.

"Without trying to be together, how can Young Master Gu be so sure that I am not suitable?"

Nalan Xueling lightly gritted her teeth, and suddenly made a bold move.

Her delicate little hand groped towards Gu Chen's crotch, and there, she felt a spear that was as hard as divine iron.

"It seems that Young Master is not uninterested in me. Why do you always have such a cold face?"

She pretended to be sad.

"Miss Nalan, please behave yourself."

Gu Chen frowned and removed Nalan Xueling's hand, but she took advantage of the situation and threw herself into his arms.

She had very few clothes on her body, and Gu Chen was even more naked. Now that he had bumped into her arms, she felt her whole body go crazy.

Swish!
