God of Pets

Chapter 450 Living in the Sun

It is indeed beautiful and pretty, but Chen Guan didn't find it particularly stunning; he simply thought it was very beautiful and attractive.

Perhaps it was because Mingfei naturally exuded a seductive charm. Chen Guan, who used Mingfei for dual cultivation, had long been accustomed to it, and no matter how beautiful a woman was, it was difficult for him to feel amazed.

Fujimi's expression shifted, a mixture of joy and worry. She reached out to touch her face, but seemed afraid of breaking something, and her fingers never actually touched her face.

Chen Guan handed a mirror to Teng Mingli. Teng Mingli took the mirror, clenched her fingers, but did not immediately look at her face.

"Take a look," Chen Guan said with a smile, encouragingly.

Fujimi Rei seemed to be greatly encouraged and picked up a mirror to look at her face.

When she saw her fair and rosy face in the mirror, beautiful yet dignified, she almost burst into tears.

She finally rediscovered her former self, even if only briefly, and it was enough to bring her to tears of joy.

"Thank you." Regardless of whether this effect could last or whether the bone-corroding poison would recur, at least for this moment, Fujimi Rei had finally escaped the nightmare of the past few years.

"What have you thought about what I said?" Chen Guan pressed his advantage, hoping to win Teng Mingli over first.

Upon hearing this, Teng Mingli glanced at herself in the mirror, wiped away the scorch marks still clinging to her face, straightened her clothes, and then put down the mirror to look at Chen Guan, saying, "I don't know how long this appearance will last. If you want to do something, then do it now."

With that, Fujina Rei closed her eyes.

Chen Guan stared blankly at Teng Mingli. He knew that Teng Mingli had misunderstood, but that was really not what he meant.

Looking at Teng Mingli, who had a stubborn expression and closed her eyes, Chen Guan thought for a moment and then walked up to her.

Teng Mingli heard Chen Guan's footsteps and sensed that he had come to her. She could almost feel the burning heat and masculinity emanating from him, and her heart began to pound like a drum.

Although she wasn't opposed to him, she had only just met Chen Guan and didn't know anything about his background or what kind of person he was.

This unfamiliar yet exciting situation made Fujimi feel a little flustered, but also seemed to bring a sense of excitement and anticipation.

Feeling her body being embraced by those strong arms, Fujimi Rei's entire body stiffened for a moment, then went limp. Smelling the masculine scent, she felt as if she had lost all her strength, and she could barely stand, relying entirely on those strong arms to hold her up.

"Being able to embrace the most beautiful flower of heaven is enough; my life is complete." Chen Guan said, and then released Teng Mingli.

Teng Mingli opened her eyes and stared blankly at Chen Guan, not knowing what he meant, and felt a little angry.

For a man to say such things to a woman at this time without taking any actual action is undoubtedly an insult.

"Do you like growing flowers?" Chen Guan asked with a smile.

"I don't like it," Fujina Rei said indifferently.

Chen Guan didn't mind and said with a smile, "I like growing flowers. There are many joys in growing flowers. Being able to keep a beautiful and precious flower alive is a great joy."

"I once had a very precious flower that I really, really loved. But that flower was too delicate and difficult to grow. Not long after I planted it, it became sickly and listless, and its leaves were almost withered. I was very upset at the time."

"Later, I kept searching for all sorts of information and tried every possible way to gradually bring that flower back to life. It grew better and better, and even bloomed. The flowers were more and more vibrant, and it really became the flower I had imagined. That was the happiest time of my life." Chen Guan said, his gaze softening as if it could melt hearts: "I also like beautiful women, especially those who are both beautiful and unique, just like you."

Fujimi Rei's gaze softened as she looked at Chen Guan.

"A person who loves flowers will not pick their favorite blossoms, because picked flowers will soon wither. Let them grow on the branch, watch them bloom in profusion, watch them splendidly in summer, watch them bloom in full glory, watch them amaze the world..."

Chen looked at Teng Mingli and said in an extremely gentle tone, "Your beauty is only half of it; the other half has yet to bloom. The Teng Mingli I want to see is one who is both beautiful and fierce, possessing both stunning beauty and extraordinary strength—the most beautiful celestial flower that has amazed the world. I want to see you bloom again with dazzling brilliance, once more in full bloom. Your beauty should blossom in the sunlight, not wither silently in the depths of darkness..."

Fujimi Rei's beautiful eyes grew brighter and brighter, and her gaze toward Chen Guan became increasingly dreamy.

She initially thought Chen Guan was just a man who coveted her beauty and fame, but even so, she didn't reject a man like Chen Guan.

But unexpectedly, Chen Guan turned out to be someone who not only appreciated her appearance but also understood her heart.

Yes, she is Fujimi Rei. She never cared about her appearance before, only wanting to make a name for herself through her own abilities.

Having gone through these years of hardship, she has almost forgotten her pride, and her edges have been worn smooth.

But today, a man told her that she was more than just pretty.

Fujina Ries had no doubt that this was just sweet talk, because to Chen Guan, she was like a flower that could be picked within reach.

When such a person said such words to her at such a time, Teng Mingli felt that Chen Guan was sincere and truly understood her.

At this moment, Fujimi Rei felt that having a true friend in life meant that even if she lost her current appearance, she would have no regrets.

Chen Guan knew that if he wanted to rely on the power of Teng Mingli and Lian Sanshan, he couldn't touch Teng Mingli. Otherwise, he would get entangled in the mess and it might become troublesome instead.

Moreover, Chen Guan truly had no other intentions towards Teng Mingli, especially not in such a godforsaken place.

“If you’re willing, I can take you back into the sunlight, so you can be the best version of yourself,” Chen Guan said to Teng Mingli with a sincere expression.

“Okay.” Fujimi Rei nodded emphatically.

Chen Guan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The next step was to figure out how to get Teng Mingli back from the Eighth Prince.

The death pact is in someone else's hands; getting past the Eighth King won't be easy.

Rekindled with pride, Fujimei Rei became noticeably more proactive, practicing her techniques in preparation for her upcoming battle against Shang Qingtian.

While the Red Dust Palm is indeed powerful, the Peak of Love is also a technique known as the Three Awakenings Invincible. Teng Mingli previously thought that if the Eighth King said she could win, then she could win.

It's not that she was blind, but rather that Fujimi Rei at that time had lost all purpose in life, living a muddled and aimless existence like a walking corpse, not wanting to think about anything and feeling that it was all meaningless.

Now things are different. Fujimi Rei has seen hope for life again. Even if she loses her looks, she doesn't want to live like this anymore. She wants to find herself again and live in the sunlight.
