Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1375 - 1375 1334 Heading to the Island Country

1375: Chapter 1334: Heading to the Island Country 1375: Chapter 1334: Heading to the Island Country Back in Cloud City, Lu Chuan’s life gradually became stable.

He stuck to a routine, moving between Nanqing’s room, Vivi’s room, and occasionally sitting in at the clinic.

His life was exceedingly regular, and his health was irritatingly perfect.

If he could, Lu Chuan would love to bring everyone here and just stay in Cloud City, which was quite nice.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t, as he had important matters waiting for him to handle.

“It’s about time to set out…”

Lu Chuan smacked his lips, contemplating his plans after heading to the Island Country, when he caught a glimpse of Nanqing walking over slowly.

“Nanqing, aren’t you resting?

It’s fine, I can take care of the clinic.”

“I really couldn’t sleep, so I came over to check.

How’s the patient count at the clinic these days?”

“Decreasing, which is a good thing.

As the saying goes, it’s better to let medicine gather dust on the shelves than see the world suffer more.

We probably don’t have the energy to take care of everyone, but within the confines of Cloud City, at least we’ve made it.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Nanqing smiled knowingly and sat in Lu Chuan’s lap, softly saying, “While the shop is not too busy, let Xiao Xiao help for a bit.”

Lu Chuan smiled wryly and said, “In broad daylight, how inappropriate…”

“Eh, what’s wrong with that?

You’re about to leave, and I’ll miss you.”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan was taken aback.

“How did you know I was about to leave?”

Mu Nanqing was obviously flustered, averting her eyes guiltily and stammering, “I-I heard from Xiu Niang.

She said you should be leaving for the Island Country soon.

Lu Chuan~ come on~”

Mu Nanqing twisted her body, gently kissing Lu Chuan on the corner of his lips, indicating something unsaid.

But Lu Chuan felt increasingly uneasy.

“Nanqing, do you remember when we first met?”

“Of course it’s…

eh, it’s been so long, how could I possibly remember?”

“…

Xiu Niang, do you find this amusing?”

Lu Chuan sighed lightly and gently pushed Xiu Niang away, helplessly saying, “It’s no fun when you tease me like this.”

“Tch, you’re quite perceptive to catch on so quickly?”

“Nanqing’s mostly been resting in her room these days.

How could she talk to you about me?

If you’re going to make things up, at least come up with a more plausible excuse.

Now spill, what are you really up to?”

“Just testing you.

Once you reach the Island Country, such situations will become more frequent.

What if your desires override your focus on the task at hand?”

“You underestimate me.”

Lu Chuan sneered disdainfully.

Joking aside, if he could maintain self-control around a peerless beauty like Nalan Xuan, unless Yun Ji showed up, Lu Chuan had absolute confidence in his resolve!

“Don’t talk too big.

So when do you plan to depart?”

Now that she was exposed, Xiu Niang stopped pretending, undid the Facial Transformation Technique, sat down in front of Lu Chuan, and crossed her legs, revealing her smooth, fair legs.

“I haven’t decided yet, but it won’t be long.

The day after tomorrow latest.”

“Leave soon.

At least consider my feelings.

You guys have all the fun, singing and dancing every night, while I’m really bored!”

“You could too.”

“Who said I want to do that with you?

Shameless!”

Hearing this, Xiu Niang acted as if she had heard the most absurd thing, her face flushed red, and she left in embarrassment.

Lu Chuan was puzzled.

When did he ever say he wanted her to join him?

Cloud City has so many eligible young men.

If she feels lonely, can’t she just find someone herself?

“Utterly baffling.”

But all jokes aside, Lu Chuan couldn’t ignore Xiu Niang’s suggestion.

He couldn’t keep indulging in fun forever.

He needed to head to the Island Country as soon as possible to acquire the Jade Pendant.

Otherwise, the question that had been troubling Lu Chuan would remain unanswered.

“Counting the days, the Tower Spirit should be waking up soon, right?

I hope by then it will surprise me.”

…

That night, Lu Chuan unprecedentedly called both women into the same room.

Initially, both Mu Nanqing and Ji Weiwei were extremely reluctant.

Though they had accepted each other’s existence, it was inevitably awkward to be in the same room.

To avoid any misunderstandings, Lu Chuan took the opportunity to reveal his impending departure.

Upon hearing the news, both Mu Nanqing and Ji Weiwei knit their brows simultaneously.

“Leaving so soon…”

He had just returned not too long ago…

“Yes, no more delay.

Even Xiu Niang is urging me to leave soon.”

“Is Xiu Niang going with you to the Island Country?

Then I want to go too!”

“Nanqing, she’s only going to investigate that Ancient Ruins, which has nothing to do with me.

Besides, your powers are still unstable now.

I can’t let you take that risk.”

“I can take care of myself!

I won’t be a burden!

Lu Chuan, please let me go with you, okay?”

Faced with Mu Nanqing’s plea, though Lu Chuan was tempted, he still didn’t change his stance.

“I know you’re adorable, but still no.

Neither of you can go; just stay in Cloud City and wait for my return.

I know you don’t want to be apart, and I don’t want to either, but this is important to me and cannot afford any mistakes.

I’m concerned I won’t be able to spare the attention to protect you.”

If Lu Chuan really got into a conflict with the Yin Ghost Sect or Grand Elder Huang Quan, with Xiu Niang’s strength, she wouldn’t need his care; Lu Chuan might even rely on her for help.

If Nanqing and Vivi tagged along, the situation could worsen.

Upon hearing this, although the two women were reluctant, they couldn’t convince Lu Chuan otherwise and had to consent to stay behind.

“When are you leaving?” Ji Weiwei asked solemnly.

“Tomorrow morning.

The ticket is already booked.

Once I reach the Island Country, I’ll let you know as soon as possible.”

“I’ll miss you.

You should remember to miss us too.”

“Mm.”

…

On the following morning, Lu Chuan finally set off.

After bidding farewell to Mu Nanqing and Ji Weiwei, Lu Chuan left for the airport with Xiu Niang.

Upon reflection, he seemed to always find himself caught in a cycle of farewells and reunions.

Each farewell was hard to part with, yet it was for this very reason that future reunions would be all the more cherished.

“Alright, they’re long out of sight.

Stop staring.”

Xiu Niang cast a glance at the reluctant Lu Chuan, sneering with disdain.

“If you’re really reluctant, I can disguise myself as them and help you deal with your longing.”

As she spoke, Xiu Niang reached over, lightly touching Lu Chuan’s stomach, and then hooked the waistband of his pants.

Lu Chuan’s face flushed red, and he said sternly, “I’m driving, don’t mess around.”

“You’re embarrassed?”

“I’m worried you can’t handle it, so please behave.”

“Tch, such a boring man.”
