Chapter 710: Chapter 710: Target, the Sky Cave

At dawn, when Xu Zhi Rou opened her eyes.

What met her gaze was the handsome face of Lin Fan.

Perhaps it was because they had been apart for so long, but she now found him even more attractive.

Especially that charming quality, which was truly captivating.

Although Xu Zhi Rou also knew that the word "charming" wasn’t usually used to describe a man.

But there was indeed a unique aura between Lin Fan’s brows, an allure that made it impossible to look away.

She couldn’t find the right words to describe him at the moment.

"You’re awake."

Lin Fan opened his eyes and looked at Xu Zhi Rou, who was close at hand.

She, who was usually so vigorous, was now bathed in tenderness, and her beautiful face had a touch of softness to it.

And because of the nourishment from the previous night, her face was no longer gaunt, and her skin had become much more delicate.

The softness in his palm was utterly captivating.

"Hmm!"

As a new bride, Xu Zhi Rou shyly lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Lin Fan’s eyes.

But her body honestly snuggled into his arms, enjoying the rhythmic beat of his heart.

Lin Fan caressed her tight jade back. Without a word, it was the greatest pleasure.

"What are you planning to do next?"

After a while, Xu Zhi Rou raised her head to look at Lin Fan.

"I’m planning to make another trip to Evil Island to search for the Drought demon."

Lin Fan’s words startled Xu Zhi Rou.

The experiences on Evil Island were still a thorn in her side, even now.

"I want to go too!"

Despite that, Xu Zhi Rou said without hesitation.

Even now, she could recall those terrifying things in her midnight dreams.

But wherever Lin Fan went, she had to follow.

"Don’t you need to return to the Rong Department?"

"No need. I already said that once this military exercise was over, I would take off my uniform and come back to be with you. Now that you’ve recovered, I don’t want to leave anymore. But I haven’t been discharged yet; because of my performance in the military exercise, I was commended. My father has given me a long holiday and told me to think over this matter."

Xu Zhi Rou shook her head quickly.

No matter what, she didn’t want to be separated from Lin Fan again like before.

Besides, now that she had given herself to him, it was even more reason for them to stay together.

"Alright then. But we’ll have to wait a little longer. You should take this time to procure some equipment to bring back, just in case. I need to go somewhere else first."

Lin Fan squinted his eyes. The undercurrents of Evil Island were too strong, and access to the island was only possible at specific times.

Therefore, he had another place to visit before then.

"Where are you going?"

Xu Zhi Rou asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.

"To the Heavenly Cave. I need to find out exactly what this blood orb in Nangong Haoqin’s hands is. After all, even if I don’t go looking for him in the future, he’ll come looking for trouble with me. Being prepared is the only way to deal with it."

After this battle, the five blood orbs had become Lin Fan’s greatest obstacle. This frustrating situation had to be resolved, so the records in the Heavenly Cave would definitely help him.

"Okay, when do you plan to depart?"

Xu Zhi Rou nodded. Although she also wanted to go to the Heavenly Cave, she had to stay behind to prepare the equipment needed for Evil Island. Finding many outdoor survival items was not easy, and with the experience from the last time, she was determined to be fully prepared this time.

"No rush. Last night might not have been successful, so I think we need to make sure your butt is a bit redder."

With a beauty in his arms, Lin Fan naturally didn’t feel like leaving. Given the rejuvenation of the night, he certainly had to indulge once more before departing.

Anyway, there were still three days until the full moon, which should be enough time for him to make a trip to the Heavenly Caverns.

"Annoying..."

Xu Zhi Rou’s face flushed with shyness as she extended her fist and lightly pounded on Lin Fan’s chest.

However, this feeling seemed more like flirting.

"What, just after a few hours of sleep with me, you’re already tired of the old, longing for the new?"

Lin Fan smirked and grabbed Xu Zhi Rou’s wrist.

This tender skin of hers was truly parching to the throat and tongue.

"I... I certainly wouldn’t... but you, I wonder if you’ll still remember me after you get more sisters,"

Xu Zhi Rou pouted with a look of grievance as she gazed at Lin Fan.

"How could that be? As long as I live, you will always be my woman."

Lin Fan grinned, flipped on top of Xu Zhi Rou, and his hands began roaming over her.

The morning’s aerobic exercise filled the room with murmurs.

Xu Zhi Rou clung tightly to Lin Fan’s neck, indulging in the unique love they shared.

Reflecting on everything that had happened, their current reality seemed like a dream.

Especially this sudden close contact, it was beyond her expectations.

Until she lay exhausted in Lin Fan’s arms, the dream was wonderfully surreal.

......

Inside the president’s office of the Ning Group.

Seeing Xu Zhi Rou walk in through the door, Ning Mengyao revealed a mischievous smile.

"These past few months of exercises were supposed to be tough under the sun and wind, yet I feel like you’ve just come back from a beauty treatment. Your skin is so porcelain."

"Stop it, you’re doing it on purpose... We’re in an alliance... how could you betray me like this?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhi Rou’s face immediately flushed with embarrassment.

"Isn’t it just keeping the best within the family? Besides, with a long-awaited reunion, of course, you need to replenish thoroughly. How is it, is Lin Fan’s ’electricity’ still strong? Lu Feifei looked so reluctant to leave when she went away."

Ning Mengyao walked up to Xu Zhi Rou, looked at her delicate face, and said: "Letting you borrow my ’husband’ and yet here you are, acting all coy after getting a good deal, that’s not right, is it? Shouldn’t you now be calling me ’big sister’?"

"Alright, alright, big sister, I thank you. I’ll return him after I’ve used him; his ’electricity’ is too much to handle."

Xu Zhi Rou pouted with her cheeks flushed.

Though it’s nice to be together, one shouldn’t overindulge.

From their encounter yesterday until their parting today, she thought several times that she might have died.

Lin Fan’s methods were not something a novice like her could withstand.

"You’ll get used to it with more use. I thought you might have worn out the power station, coming here alone,"

Ning Mengyao hadn’t seen Lin Fan, so she curiously looked at Xu Zhi Rou.

"How could that be possible? His ’energy’ needs to be nuclear. It’s not just me; even if he brings all his ladies back, they’d likely be overwhelmed. Clearly, there’s a method to his philandering."

Since it was just the two of them and they shared the same man, Xu Zhi Rou spoke more freely.

Not to mention, she was used to hearing raunchy jokes when hanging out with the guys.

It was just that experiencing it firsthand was still somewhat overwhelming.

"He’s gone to deal with something in the Heavenly Caverns, so he asked me to come back and prepare with you for the trip to Evil Island."

"Oh... It looks like you’re going too. Then, I need to buy a tent for us."

Ning Mengyao pulled on Xu Zhi Rou’s hand with a wicked smile.

It has to be said, Xu Zhi Rou’s relationship with Ning Mengyao had grown a lot closer after she got together with Lin Fan.

Especially at this moment, they were like best friends who had transcended through a thousand years.
