Chapter 780 The Branch of the Illusionary Moon - Fluttering Shadows
Hotel Del Luna.

Gao Dongxu walked into the magnificent, empty hall with a smile and saw Zhang Manyue sitting on a high chair at the bar with her back to him, drinking.

Wearing a black lace dress, she perfectly showcased her incredibly long legs. Her slender waist, the subtle hint of her shoulder blades under the bright lights, and the shapely buttocks pressed against the chair—she embodied feminine charm to the fullest.

"I thought you'd been bewitched by that devil and wouldn't be back anytime soon." Zhang Manyue, holding a wine glass, turned gracefully, slightly tilting her fair and delicate chin, and looked at Gao Dongxu with a haughty expression, teasing him.

"Hehe, what a strong smell of vinegar—" Gao Dongxu chuckled, stepped forward, took the wine glass from her hand, and drank the red wine from the rim of the glass, which was marked with a red lipstick mark.

He put down his cup, smiled, reached out and pinched her slightly upturned chin, looked at her fair and delicate, youthful face, and lowered his head to kiss her bright red lips.

goo-dong-

Shy and intoxicated, Zhang Manyue swallowed the warm red wine, her pretty face flushed, and playfully punched Gao Dongxu a few times, still wanting more.

It must be said that Jang Man-wol's looks are not outstanding among his women, but no one can compare to the youthful charm she exudes.

Jang Manyue is undoubtedly the epitome of a fair-skinned, slender, and youthful woman. She possesses a petite frame and delicate bone structure, with exquisitely defined head and facial features. Coupled with her fair complexion and pure aura, she can instantly evoke in men the urge to hold her in their arms and cherish her.

Zhang Manyue, her pretty face flushed, reached for the champagne on the bar, poured herself another glass, and then, stretching out her long, slender, white legs, the tips of her black high heels touching the ground, she stepped down from the high chair. She tugged at her discarded skirt, then, with a charmingly alluring smile, sniffed her fingers and playfully scolded Gao Dongxu, "The Moon Spirit Tree wants to see you—"

Gao Dongxu chuckled and reached out to put his arm around her slender waist, raising an eyebrow as they walked toward the backyard. "Has it made up its mind?" he asked with a smile.

As she walked, Zhang Manyue turned her head and glared at Gao Dongxu, then said in a coquettish tone, "Can you keep your hands to yourself?"

"Hehe, no way—" Gao Dongxu laughed shamelessly, continuing to place it on Taotun.

"Putting my hands on you is the most direct way I express that I like you. If I didn't like you, I definitely wouldn't touch you."

Zhang Manyue rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, but did not stop him from continuing his misbehavior.

Well, to be honest, she was quite proud and pleased with her charm.

Although it had only been two short days, Zhang Manyue had already gained a deep understanding of Gao Dongxu. He was a lecherous devil who, relying on his strength, did whatever he pleased and acted recklessly.

"Swish—"

The two walked to the Moon Spirit Tree, its branches swaying.

Gao Dongxu put his arm around Zhang Manyue, looked up at the Moon Spirit Tree, and laughed, "Since you've thought it through and are willing to return to the Celestial Dynasty with me, then hand over your core body to me."

Zhang Manyue's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at the Moon Spirit Tree, which was beginning to emit a soft white light, with a complicated expression.

A section of osmanthus tree branch, over a meter long and with three twigs, slowly emerged from the thick, dry trunk and floated towards Gao Dongxu.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gao Dongxu reached out and grasped the branch, feeling its icy chill and indescribable, boundless vitality.

He released his divine sense, wanting to imprint it on the laurel branch. As soon as his divine sense touched the branch, he felt a buzzing sound, like the Big Bang, and his divine sense was pulled into a distorted world of countless colors.

Gao Dongxu closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them again, he saw a laurel tree with distorted colors, a moon radiating a bewitching yellow light, a large black bird, twisted branches, and a clear, smooth cut on a branch.

The moon shone brightly with a yellow light. Gao Dongxu subconsciously closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had already broken free from the illusion. He endured the stinging pain between his eyebrows and looked at the laurel branch in his hand, which had little weight but was indestructible.

"Swish—"

Gao Dongxu exhaled a long breath. He felt that he had completely taken control of the Moon Hotel and sensed Zhang Manyue's bound soul. Now, with just a thought, he could release Zhang Manyue's soul and allow her to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.

However, he certainly wouldn't do that. If one day in the future he really couldn't maintain his physical immortality, then he would choose to entrust his soul to the laurel branch, coexist with the laurel tree, and achieve another kind of immortal existence.

At that time, Zhang Manyue will undoubtedly be one of his companions, although that is a long way off.

The next second, the laurel branch was put into his space, and sensing the spiritual energy in Gao Dongxu's consciousness space, the laurel branch actually began to absorb the spiritual energy frantically.

Gao Dongxu's expression changed, and with a thought, he threw the laurel branch out of his consciousness space.

However, the laurel branch, like a mangy dog, flew back into Gao Dongxu's arms in a flash, while the enormous Moon Spirit Tree shook its branches wildly. "Shhhhh..."

Sensing the Moon Spirit Tree's excitement and intense longing, Zhang Manyue stared wide-eyed at Gao Dongxu, whose face was grim. With a look of disgust, she threw away the branch that had been clinging to him. The next second, the branch flew back and clung tightly to Gao Dongxu's body.

"Don't even think about the spiritual energy on my body. I've said before that I'll give you some spiritual liquid regularly, but don't covet the spiritual energy on my body. I can put you back into my space to let the spiritual energy nourish you, but let me make this clear: if you dare to steal the spiritual energy from my body again, all the agreements we have made are null and void." Gao Dongxu looked up at the Moon Spirit Tree, whose branches were swaying wildly, and sneered.

"Shh..."

"I hope you truly understand. Don't say I didn't warn you—" Gao Dongxu sensed the Moon Spirit Tree's urgency and warned it again before putting the laurel branch into his spatial storage.

This time, the laurel branch behaved very well, no longer absorbing spiritual energy, but instead peacefully bathing in the spiritual energy of the space.

Regaining his senses, Gao Dongxu looked at the Moon Spirit Tree and said, "When I return to the Celestial Dynasty, I will find you a good place to move to."

"Shh..."

"Okay, I understand." Gao Dongxu felt the request made by Yue Lingshu, his lips twitched, and he agreed. The next moment, he reached out and put his arm around Zhang Manyue's waist, and disappeared.

They reappeared on the third floor of the hotel. But the third floor wasn't a guest room; it was a real illusion that the Moon Spirit Tree could create at any time, perfectly deceiving the five senses.

Feeling the slightly fishy sea breeze, in the distance the sky was covered with a sky full of sunset colors, orange-red, gold powder and crimson purple blended together, like spilled paint, slowly spreading across the entire sky.

The vast waves gently lapped against the beach, as if nature were whispering. As the waves receded, they left damp traces, reflecting the sunset glow and shimmering like broken gold.

The golden sand is fine and soft; stepping on it feels like sinking into a tender dream. On this golden expanse, an open straw parasol stands, its rough surface exuding a rustic charm, casting a cool shadow in the slanting sunlight.

Under the umbrella, two lounge chairs were placed side by side. With a coquettish exclamation from Zhang Manyue, Gao Dongxu scooped her up in his arms, walked quickly across the sand that was as white as gold dust, and placed Zhang Manyue on the lounge chair. Then, looking down at the shy and charming beauty, he bent down and kissed her bright red lips.

"Ugh, so useless—"

Completely unsatisfied, Gao Dongxu looked at the empty recliner where Zhang Manyue had just escaped, still warm from her fall, and somewhat helplessly picked up a bath towel and wrapped it around his waist to cover himself.

He sat down on the recliner, still wanting more, and closed his eyes. The next moment, when he opened his eyes, he was completely different. Lee Ji-young, wearing a white cropped tank top and denim shorts, appeared in front of him with a look of astonishment on her pretty face with exquisite makeup.

"Owner?"

"Hmm, I've been preoccupied with that demon and haven't had time to look after you. Now's the perfect opportunity. Come here, let me give you a thorough check-up..."

Go Dong-wook's eyes shone brightly as he gazed intently at Lee Ji-young, who beamed with joy upon seeing him, revealing her signature smiling eyes and dimples.

Bathed in the setting sun, her tanned skin appeared even more healthy and vibrant. Her tank top and hot pants perfectly accentuated her excellent head-to-body ratio and waist-to-thigh proportions, creating a stunningly sculpted figure—truly sunny and sexy.

Hearing Gao Dongxu's blunt words, Li Zhiying's eyes turned alluring, her face flushed with shyness, she bit her red lips lightly, and lowered her head.

Looking at her tall, shapely, and sexy figure, Gao Dongxu sincerely exclaimed, "She truly is a masterpiece sculpted by God. Every part of her is just right; it's absolute proof of the Creator's favoritism."

"Come here, I love how you greet me with your bright, cheerful smile and your confident attempts to please me—"

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's words, Li Zhiying first took a shy deep breath, then a sweet and shy smile appeared on her pretty face. With a gentle toss of her head, her hair fluttered gracefully, exuding charm, and her eyes brimming with confidence.

As she slowly walked towards Gao Dongxu, every smile, every gesture, and every movement of hers was an ultimate display of her charm.

Gao Dongxu's eyes burned with passion. He reached out and grabbed the wrist of the alluring Li Zhiying who had walked up to him. With a slight pull, he drew her into his arms amidst her trembling, shy gasp.

Lying on the recliner, Lee Ji-young, gazing into the eyes of Go Dong-wook, was like the most beautiful rose in spring. Her eyes seemed to hold the falling stars, and every smile and frown touched the heartstrings.

With such captivating charm, how could one not feel joy?

Without the slightest hesitation, Gao Dongxu kissed her bright red lips, which were as vibrant as flower petals.

With her personal touches added and her memories re-edited, Lee Ji-young, who was completely loyal and obedient to Go Dong-wook, brought him an unimaginable and enormous surprise.
