139: Chapter 138 First Kiss Gone_1 139: Chapter 138 First Kiss Gone_1 Lu Chuan watched as Tang Yurou’s thin lips were about to kiss his own; he quickly pushed her away and then rang the Soul-Control Bell in his hand.

“Wake up!”

Tang Yurou’s gaze instantly returned to normal, but there was clearly a hint of confusion.

She saw that Lu Chuan was only a few centimeters away from her, her hands still cupping his face, and she was even on tiptoe, obviously in a posture about to kiss, and immediately her face flushed with panic, asking, “What…

what are you doing?”

Lu Chuan looked helpless and said, “You should be asking yourself that question.”

Tang Yurou quickly let go of Lu Chuan and stepped back a few paces, asking with both shyness and confusion, “What…

what happened to me?”

Lu Chuan walked over, took the Bewitching Fragrance pouch off her clothes, and said, “This pouch contains Bewitching Fragrance, which can make people lose consciousness and be manipulated at will.”

He shook the Soul-Control Bell in his hand and said, “This is called the Soul-Control Bell, a match for the Bewitching Fragrance.

It can control a person under the influence of the Bewitching Fragrance.

Once the bell is rung, no matter what commands are given, the person affected by the Bewitching Fragrance will comply.”

“However, the Soul-Control Bell can only control the person closest to the Bewitching Fragrance pouch.”

“Such things belong to the shady and underhanded category, not fit for respectable circles.”

Having said that, he sealed the pouch to prevent the scent from escaping again.

After listening, Tang Yurou’s face was full of shock as she said, “This…

this thing is too evil!

What did Sun Shao’an have me do?”

Lu Chuan said, “He made you kiss me.”

Tang Yurou’s face turned red at once and she hurriedly asked, “Then did I kiss you?”

Lu Chuan teased with a smile and remarked, “You did kiss me, for quite a long time at that, passionately indeed.

If I hadn’t experienced it myself, I might have thought you didn’t know how to kiss.

Who taught you these skills?”

Tang Yurou was frozen on the spot as if struck by lightning.

She never imagined that her first kiss, preserved for twenty years, would be gone just like that.

Once she regained her senses, she quickly stammered, “I…

I didn’t learn from anyone!

That was my first kiss; it must have been because I was controlled—that wasn’t the real me at all!”

Lu Chuan burst out laughing, not expecting the girl to actually believe him.

He changed the subject and asked, “Who exactly is this Sun Shao’an?”

Eager to shift the embarrassment away, Tang Yurou hurriedly answered, “That bastard is the son of Sun Guoxing, who ranks second in Qingyang City’s real estate industry.

Their Sun family and our Tang family have always been arch-enemies.

I never expected Sun Shao’an to stoop to such dirty tricks to deal with me.”

Lu Chuan nodded thoughtfully and said, “The Bewitching Fragrance and the Soul-Control Bell aren’t items that just anyone can produce; there must be someone instructing him from behind.

The frequent issues with your Cloud Mists Villa project might well be connected to the Sun family.”

Tang Yurou clenched her teeth angrily, “I knew none of the Sun family’s lot were any good!

My father had people investigate before, but they couldn’t find any evidence at all.

Now with Sun Shao’an striking at me, it’s almost certain that it’s their family’s doing.”

Lu Chuan nodded and suggested, “Let’s go to Cloud Mists Villa tomorrow to have a look and see if we can find some clues.”

Tang Yurou nodded, clearly becoming somewhat more demure.

The two arrived at the parking lot, got into the black business car, and told the driver to take them home.

On the road.

Tang Yurou carefully asked, “You said that the person who smells the Bewitching Fragrance loses consciousness, so why weren’t you affected?”

Lu Chuan boasted, “I have Divine Skills; such tricks are naturally ineffective on me.”

Tang Yurou glared wide-eyed and demanded, “Then why didn’t you stop me from kissing you?”

Lu Chuan was both amused and helpless, wondering why she was still dwelling on it.

After thinking for a moment, he quipped, “You were too enthusiastic at the time, I couldn’t even stop you if I tried.”

Tang Yurou immediately covered her face, feeling like she could no longer face anyone again.

She watched Lu Chuan fiddling with the Bewitching Fragrance pouch and the Soul-Control Bell, questioning, “Is that thing really useless against you?

Couldn’t it be that you were also controlled at the time and everything you saw was an illusion?”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “In my waking state, those things certainly couldn’t have any effect on me, but once I fall asleep and my vigilance is at its lowest, it is indeed possible for me to be controlled by this trinket.”

“Oh,” Tang Yurou said, her face filled with disappointment.

In that case, she might have really given her first kiss to Lu Chuan.

The two returned to the Tang Residence.

With a heavy heart, Tang Yurou returned to her room, and Lu Chuan also went back to his guest room.

The next day.

Tang Shouli, who had mostly recovered, came to look for Lu Chuan to go to Cloud Mists Villa together.

Lu Chuan said they would wait until the evening to go.

Not understanding, Tang Shouli asked, “Why do we have to wait until evening to go?”

Lu Chuan replied indifferently, “If you were a ghost, would you roam around in broad daylight?”

After thinking about it, Tang Shouli felt it made sense and nodded, “That’s true, we’ll go in the evening then.”

At eight o’clock in the evening.

Lu Chuan and Tang Shouli arrived together at the front gate of the Tang Residence.

True Being Wu had already been waiting there.

By his side was a young man, his disciple, Liu Bo.

Tang Shouli hurriedly greeted him, “True Being Wu, it’s an honor for the Tang family that you’ve come to help us resolve our troubles.”

Although Lu Chuan had easily saved his life, from his ingrained perspectives, he still trusted the long-established reputation of Wu Daolong a bit more.

Moreover, when it came to matters of ghosts and deities, no one could be certain.

Having a true being to help, he could be somewhat more at ease.

After True Being Wu exchanged greetings with Tang Shouli, he glanced at Lu Chuan and said coldly, “Family Head Tang, I can handle today’s matter by myself.

It’s better not to bring any other burdens along.”

Having heard about last night’s events from Tang Yurou, Tang Shouli knew that True Being Wu and Lu Chuan didn’t see eye to eye, so he hurriedly smoothed things over, “True Being Wu, Lu Chuan is also very powerful.

He cured my illness in no time at all.

If the two of you work together today, wouldn’t we be even safer?”

Not wanting to disrespect Tang Shouli, True Being Wu snorted coldly and said no more.

Lu Chuan watched True Being Wu with a smile, thinking to himself, “Someone who can produce a Soul-Control Bell is not someone a single true being can handle.

I’m keen to see what you’re really capable of today.”

The group took a car and headed toward Cloud Mists Villa.

Upon arriving at the gate of Cloud Mists Villa, there were already quite a few people waiting, all of them from the Tang family’s bodyguard team.

They didn’t want to enter a place like Cloud Mists Villa where dirty things lurked, but when Tang Shouli coerced them with the offer of three months’ salary, they reluctantly complied.

“Make sure you all have your flashlights, and follow us in.

If anyone dares to back out halfway, I’ll fire them tomorrow!” Tang Shouli shouted at the bodyguards.

Then he followed behind Lu Chuan, True Being Wu, and Liu Bo into Cloud Mists Villa.

The bodyguards all pulled out their flashlights, trying to illuminate their surroundings as much as possible.

Cloud Mists Villa was extravagantly constructed with all the necessary amenities and was the only one in Qingyang City with such landscaping.

But due to the recent rumors and the lack of electricity in the neighborhood, the place seemed rather sinister at night.

The group ventured deeper, intent on inspecting the building where someone had jumped to their death.

Passing through a small grove, the wind rustled the leaves, creating an unsettling noise.

At first, everyone moved calmly, and seeing that nothing happened, the bodyguards also relaxed.

However, just then, a bodyguard walking at the back suddenly said, “Did you guys hear someone calling your names?”
