357: Chapter 441 Only Couples Allowed to Participate_1 357: Chapter 441 Only Couples Allowed to Participate_1 Gu Xiaosang’s expression changed when she saw the message, she quickly said, “Sister, you don’t have to hurry to make a decision.

Maybe Lu Chuan is willing to lend us the Divine Fire, after all, we helped him.

He won’t be stingy.

You don’t need to sacrifice yourself.”

“You just focus on healing.

My wounds are recovering quickly, during this time I will track down Lu Chuan’s whereabouts and then get him to lend us the Divine Fire.”

Gu Xiaorou replied, “Xiaosang, why do I feel like you really don’t want me to marry Lu Chuan?

Why is that?”

Gu Xiaosang said, “Because in my eyes, Sister is the most perfect woman.

The man you marry has to be an exceptional talent among men.

Clearly, this Lu Chuan doesn’t qualify.”

“Besides, I love Sister.

If Sister gets married, she’ll drift away from Xiaosang.”

That was her true thought.

She and Gu Xiaorou had been inseparable since they were children, and she had always been the favored one.

This made her affection for Gu Xiaorou deepen to the core of her bones.

If she had to choose between her sister and a future husband, she would definitely choose her sister, naturally hoping that Gu Xiaosang wouldn’t marry.

Moreover, Lu Chuan had kissed her and seen her body thoroughly.

How could she allow this guy to become her brother-in-law?

If it really happened, wouldn’t it be exceedingly awkward in their future interactions?

So, she had to figure out a way to sabotage this marriage arrangement.

“Xiaosang, you’re still too childish,” Gu Xiaorou replied, then added, “All right, let’s talk about this later.

I need to heal now.

It might take some time.

I’ll come to find you after my injury is healed.

Please be extra careful during this time.”

Gu Xiaosang agreed, then sneakily glanced at Lu Chuan before tucking away the communication device.

Lu Chuan looked at her suspiciously and asked, “What are you doing?

You seem to be sneaking around.”

Gu Xiaosang hastily said, “Nothing… just letting my sister know I’m safe.”

Lu Chuan was unconcerned and said, “It seems like your sister has run into some trouble too.

Given that, are you sisters willing to help me deal with Tu Youming?

Although he’s injured now and won’t bother us, he must come after me when his injuries heal, since he’s after the Divine Fire.

If you could help me deal with him then, I promise to lend the Divine Fire to you.

How about it?”

Gu Xiaosang’s eyes brightened, thinking this fool still doesn’t know about the marriage arrangement with Sister and is so easily willing to lend us the Divine Fire.

This really saves me a lot of trouble.

She immediately agreed, “It’s a deal, no going back on your word!”

Lu Chuan smiled, “Then stay with me for the time being to prevent any surprise attack from Tu Youming.

That way we can back each other up when the time comes.”

Gu Xiaosang nodded.

It was the perfect opportunity for her to figure out how to stop this guy’s marriage arrangement with her sister.

She had to get to know him first to tailor her strategy, then said, “Then remove the seal on me.”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “No rush.

If Tu Youming shows up, I’ll remove the seal immediately.

As for now… once I unseal you, who knows how you might bully me.

So, for now, just be a quiet and delicate lady.”

Gu Xiaosang glared, “You!”

Lu Chuan put on an innocent face, “You have a record, I have to consider my own safety.”

Gu Xiaosang crossed her arms in anger, “Fine, don’t unseal it.

But if Tu Youming comes and ambushed us, I won’t be able to protect you, don’t regret it later!”

Lu Chuan’s face showed indifference; the seal he set on Gu Xiaosang could be undone in an instant, so he didn’t need to worry.

“By the way, what realm are you and your sister?

I sense that your powers are definitely above Profound Realm,” Lu Chuan asked.

Gu Xiaosang looked at Lu Chuan with disdain and said, “You don’t even know what realm is above Profound Realm?”

Lu Chuan waved his hand, “I don’t.”

Gu Xiaosang with pride on her face, said, “Above the Profound Realm is the Saint Realm.

My sister and I are both strong within the Saint Realm.”

“Currently, you are in Profound Realm.

In the secular society, you may be regarded as a top strong figure, but where we come from, only those who reach Saint Realm at this age can be called a genius.”

So you should realize the gap between you and Sister.

Even if you find out about the marriage arrangement later, you ought to give it up voluntarily!

she muttered in her heart.

Lu Chuan thoughtfully nodded, then asked, “Where is your place?”

Gu Xiaosang snorted, “You don’t have the right to know.

Our cooperation is only for dealing with Tu Youming.

Don’t ask too much about other matters.”

“Fine,” Lu Chuan didn’t mind, then threw some newly bought clothes on the bed.

“Change your clothes and come out with me to take care of something.

You can’t wear your previous clothes anymore.

I bought you a new one, see if it fits,” he said.

For the past few days, apart from healing Gu Xiaosang, he had been inquiring about where to find a four-hundred-year spirit medicine.

Fortuitously, he came upon a lead.

Tiannan Province’s richest man Shen Wansan was about to host a cruise ship ball.

During it, he would show the four-hundred-year spirit medicine he had recently acquired to all the attendees.

Although Shen Wansan was only planning to showcase the Spiritual Medicine without intending to sell it, as a businessman, there was nothing he couldn’t sell; not wanting to sell just meant not having encountered the right offer yet.

So, Lu Chuan planned to blend into the cruise ship ball and then look for an opportunity to get the four-hundred-year spirit medicine from Shen Wansan’s hands.

Gu Xiaosang took the clothes Lu Chuan bought her, after a careful look she realized it was actually a Lolita dress, complete with white stockings and black leather shoes—a perfectly cute style.

Although she thought the dress was pretty, she had only seen such clothes on the internet.

Moreover, she was a mighty expert of the Saint Realm.

Going out dressed in such cute clothes would surely be the death of her dignity!

She glared at Lu Chuan and said, “Can’t you buy something more appropriate?

I’m not wearing this, go find me something else.”

Lu Chuan retorted, “When I went shopping, that was the only set left.

It was a rushed purchase.

Did you expect me to consider your preferences?

If you don’t wear it, then go out naked for all I care, it wouldn’t embarrass me.”

“You!” Gu Xiaosang was so angry she gritted her teeth, but since her powers were sealed, she had to begrudgingly comply for now.

Wait until my power is restored, and I’ll see how I deal with you!

“Turn around, don’t you dare peep!” Gu Xiaosang grumbled as she began dressing.

By the time she got dressed and stepped down from the bed, her legs sheathed in white stockings and her feet slipped into black leather shoes, her hair neatly primped, she looked like a delicate and cute anime girl.

Lu Chuan looked at her, nodded with satisfaction, and said, “That looks pretty good, and it suits you well.”

Gu Xiaosang’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she glared at Lu Chuan before retorting, “I’m naturally beautiful, I look good in everything, I don’t need you to tell me that!”

Then she took a glance in the mirror, feeling stunned by her completely different style.

It really…

looks good.

Ugh…

I’m so embarrassed.

I can’t believe I actually like the clothes this guy bought.

My brain must be flooded.

Gu Xiaosang calmed herself down, turned her head to look at Lu Chuan, and said, “Let’s go.”

Without further hesitation, Lu Chuan led the cute lolita out of the hotel.

“Where are we going?” Walking on the street, feeling the stares from passersby, Gu Xiaosang still felt a bit uncomfortable.

Lu Chuan said, “We’re going to sign up for a cruise party.”

Gu Xiaosang’s eyes widened, “Why are you taking me to that sort of thing?”

Lu Chuan replied with a smile, “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to date you.

I need a four-hundred-year spirit medicine, and there will be one on display at the party.

I’m going to see if I can buy it, so just follow my lead for now.”

“Psh, as if I’d want to go on a date with you,” Gu Xiaosang rolled her eyes and didn’t ask any further.

Before long, the two arrived at the signing-up location for the cruise party, where many people were already gathered, making the place very lively.

This cruise party, organized by Shen Wansan, was open to the entire Tiannan Province, not just to the upper social echelons.

However, participation in this party required meeting certain criteria and passing a special selection process by the organizers.

Lu Chuan, unclear about the requirements, approached a staff member with Gu Xiaorou and asked, “Hello, what are the requirements to attend this cruise party?”

The staff member gave Lu Chuan a look and said politely, “Hello sir, our cruise party requires that participants be couples.

If you’re single, you won’t be able to participate.”

Lu Chuan was taken aback and asked, “Must be couples?

Why?”

The staff member replied, “We’re not sure either, it’s just a requirement from above, and we’re following instructions.”

“Sir, are you single?”

Lu Chuan pondered for a moment, then turned to glance at Gu Xiaosang.

Gu Xiaosang had a bad feeling and quickly said, “Why are you looking at me?”

Lu Chuan’s face broke into a mischievous smile, and he wrapped his arm around Gu Xiaosang, telling the staff member, “I’m not single.

Isn’t my girlfriend right here?

We’re quite affectionate.

We should be able to attend the cruise party, right?”

Gu Xiaosang’s eyes bulged, thinking, Who’s your girlfriend?

You just spout nonsense so easily!

She tried to speak up to deny it, only to realize that she was unable to open her mouth.

A spell from Lu Chuan had sealed her lips.

“Mmmph…

Mmmph…”

Lu Chuan laughed while waiting for the staff member to respond, ignoring Gu Xiaosang’s reaction.

The staff member smiled and said, “If you are indeed a couple, then you meet the criteria to attend the cruise party.

However, you’ll need to head over to that room and get in line for a test.

If you both meet our requirements after the test, you’ll be able to get tickets for the cruise party.”

“A test?” Lu Chuan turned his head to glance at a house not far away, noticing many couples already lined up for testing.

He nodded at the staff member and said, “Thank you, we’re going to get in line now.”

Then, he wrapped his arm around Gu Xiaosang and headed for the queue.

It wasn’t until they reached the end of the line that he lifted the spell that kept Gu Xiaosang from speaking.

Gu Xiaosang, fuming, exclaimed, “Who’s your girlfriend!

Have you no shame!”

Lu Chuan quickly covered her mouth, “My lady, please, it’s just a ploy, we’re not really dating.

We need to blend in at the party to have a chance to talk to Shen Wansan about buying the Spiritual Medicine.”

Gu Xiaosang’s face still showed displeasure, but she said no more.

Even though it’s just pretending to be a couple, she felt odd considering Lu Chuan’s engagement to her sister.

“Now I have even more reason to keep him from learning about the engagement between him and my sister.

Once I borrow the Divine Fire to resolve my sister’s troubles, I’ll cut off all ties with this guy right away.

As long as my sister doesn’t find out about this, there’s nothing for me to be embarrassed about.” Gu Xiaosang thought to herself.

Lu Chuan, looking at the couples in the queue before him, felt a strong sense of curiosity.

This was the first time he had heard of a cruise party that only couples could attend.

Could it be that Shen Wansan is an idealist about love, hence the requirement?

But I heard his wife passed away not too long ago.

Wouldn’t it be distressing for him to see so many lovers attending his party?

While Lu Chuan was lost in thought, a mocking voice sounded from behind him.

“Lu Chuan?

You’ve got the nerve to show up at a party hosted by our city’s richest man?”
