Chapter 375 I Was Forcibly Kissed!? (Please vote with monthly tickets!!~)

Fang Qingyu looked at her like this.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

She sat up, her body slumped over the edge of the bed.

He reached out and gently ruffled her long, crimson hair, which was spread out on the pillow.

"Just wake up."

His voice was deep and gentle, with a hint of relief.

"What's going on this time? Why the sudden change?"

His gaze fell on her fully grown, mature figure.

The words were left unsaid.

The doubt was clearly written in his eyes.

Jiang Wei's smile faded slightly, replaced by a hint of uncertainty.

She tilted her head slightly, as if sorting through the jumbled fragments of memories in her mind.

"She must have come to see me."

"she?"

Fang Qingyu's starry eyes froze instantly.

The "she" she refers to is naturally the drought demon.

"Ah."

Jiang Wei nodded, keenly catching the fleeting emotion in Fang Qingyu's eyes.

She immediately reached out her hand.

She gently placed her hand on the back of his hand, which was resting by the bedside.

The soft, warm touch had a soothing quality.

"However, she doesn't seem to be trying to harm me."

Jiang Wei's voice was soft, yet firm.

Her clear red eyes stared directly at Fang Qingyu.

"My memories have returned to a great extent. She came to help me catalyze the reincarnation power accumulated within my body."

“This power has been slowly releasing from deep within my body, and she accelerated this process in some way, which is why I was able to grow up so quickly.”

She paused, looking at Fang Qingyu's still slightly furrowed brows, and added, "After digesting this part of the power of reincarnation, my strength is also rapidly recovering and growing. This is really not a bad thing for me."

Fang Qingyu listened in silence.

Unconsciously, his fingertips caressed Jiang Wei's smooth hand.

What Jiang Wei said.

This basically matches what the mysterious old man Hong Qitian brought last time said.

The drought demon's actions seem to be helping Jiang Wei regain her strength more quickly.

But two questions kept welling up in Fang Qingyu's mind.

First, it all began when they set foot on the Arctic soil.

Jiang Wei stayed by his side almost every step of the way.

Moreover, they have always stayed within the Great Wall of the Arctic, with Hong Qitian personally overseeing the situation.

How did the drought demon sneak in without anyone noticing?

How did you find and get in touch with Jiang Wei?

Hong Qitian couldn't possibly be completely unaware.

Unless he acquiesced or even participated in it.

Moreover, the one who sent me the note yesterday outside the Great Wall was probably also a drought demon.
What is this woman up to?!

According to Da Lei, Hanba is Jiang Wei's most loyal protector, so Hanba won't do anything to Jiang Wei, a fact that Fang Qingyu understands.

Choosing to stand on the side of the Fate Demon is also to use the Fate Demon's power to resist the gods.

Fang Qingyu could barely understand this.

But at this moment, Old Man Hong let the drought demon in, and the drought demon even reminded him to show him kindness.
This is rather intriguing.

"Qingzi?"

Jiang Wei's voice pulled him back from his turbulent thoughts.

She clearly sensed his emotional fluctuations.

She tightened her grip on Fang Qingyu's hand: "I can feel that she is very peaceful and has no ill intentions, really."

Fang Qingyu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the doubts in his heart.

There's no point in worrying about these things now.

Most importantly, the person in front of me is safe and sound.

He turned his hand and completely enveloped Jiang Wei's slightly cool fingers in his warm palm.

The corners of her mouth curved into a gentle smile again.

"Well, it's good that it's not meant to harm you." Fang Qingyu's voice returned to calm. "Get up and eat. You haven't eaten for a day and a night. Aren't you hungry?"

"Hungry!"

Jiang Wei nodded immediately, her eyes crinkling with joy.

She threw off the covers and nimbly jumped out of bed.

Fang Qingyu then noticed that she had changed into a clean combat uniform, which fit her perfectly, obviously prepared by Su Wanqing and the others.

Her long, bright red hair was casually gathered up.

Tie it into a neat ponytail.

Her smooth forehead and graceful neckline were on full display.

The next second, Jiang Wei reached out and hugged Fang Qingyu's arm tightly, as if it were a natural gesture.

The touch on my arm was warm and soft.

Fang Qingyu's body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

Although Jiang Wei used to cling to him, she rarely acted so intimately.

Jiang Wei, who has grown up again, is now as tall as Fang Qingyu's shoulder.

She is a full 1.7 meters tall and has a slender figure.

"what happened?"

Seeing Fang Qingyu stop and look at her with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, Jiang Wei asked in a natural and generous manner.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, but her eyes did not flinch.

Instead, she hugged his arm even tighter.

Looking at her frank yet slightly stubborn demeanor, Fang Qingyu felt a subtle unease in his heart instantly transform into a soft sense of helplessness.

He shook his head with a chuckle: "It's nothing, let's go downstairs for dinner."

He let her hold his arm.

The two walked side by side toward the door.

We had only gone halfway down the stairs.

Su Wanqing, who was setting out the dishes in the living room, and Lu Jiuyuan, who was sitting at the table, both looked up at the same time.

When I saw the two people walking down the stairs hand in hand.

Especially when she saw Jiang Wei clinging tightly to Fang Qingyu's arm, her half-body almost completely nestled against him in an intimate pose.
pat!

Lu Jiuyuan dropped the electronic pen from his hand onto the drawing.

Makes a crisp sound.

His mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were wide open.

His usual composure and calmness had vanished, leaving only a blank stare.

The small dish that Su Wanqing was holding was also suspended in mid-air.

She was taken aback at first, then a look of understanding flashed across her gentle almond-shaped eyes.

Then it was replaced by an intensely mischievous smile.

Her gaze swept back and forth between Fang Qingyu's slightly helpless yet indulgent face and Jiang Wei's frank and intimate demeanor.

The corners of his mouth curved higher and higher.

An eerie silence fell over the entire living room.

Only the porridge simmering in the pot made a soft bubbling sound.

Jiang Wei seemed completely oblivious to the frozen air and the two probing gazes that were almost tangible.

She remained composed, even flashing a bright, natural smile at the two stunned men, her clear voice breaking the silence:
"What are you standing there for? Eat! I'm starving!"

This sound broke the silence.

"Oh, oh, oh! Time to eat! Time to eat!"

Lu Jiuyuan snapped back to reality and hurriedly bent down to pick up the dropped electronic pen.

His eyes darted around, and he dared not look towards the stairs again.

Su Wanqing chuckled and placed the side dishes on the table.

He strolled over slowly, wiping his hands as he did so.

His gaze lingered meaningfully for a moment on Jiang Wei's hand, which was tightly wrapped around Fang Qingyu's arm.

She smiled and said, "It's good that you're awake. It seems that you've changed a lot in some ways since you grew up."

She emphasized the word "grown up".

The teasing tone was palpable.

Two blushes rose on Jiang Wei's face, but she showed no intention of letting go.

Instead, she hugged Fang Qingyu's arm even tighter.

Fang Qingyu rubbed his temples helplessly, feeling the soft pressure from his arm, and could only cough dryly: "Alright, stop fooling around, hurry up and eat, we have important business to attend to after you finish eating."

He led Jiang Wei to the dining table and sat her down.

A breakfast with a subtle yet exceptionally warm atmosphere.

The meal ended amidst Su Wanqing's teasing gaze and Lu Jiuyuan's silent, head-down eating.

Put down your bowl and chopsticks.

Fang Qingyu stood up: "Let's go, let's go to the military camp to pick up the people first, and then leave the city."

He looked at Lu Jiuyuan, "What about Old Chu's side?"

"Location sent, at One Thought Cafe."

Lu Jiuyuan quickly pulled up the map on his phone. "He said it would be ready soon."

"Yeah, I'll pick him up on the way."

The group went out and got into an off-road vehicle.

Jiang Wei and Su Wanqing sat together in the back row.

Lu Jiuyuan, sitting in the front passenger seat, frowned.

My fingers flew across the tablet on my lap.

Retrieve today's construction progress map and personnel and material list from Shen Zhou.

They were studying it with complete concentration.

The car starts.

We drove into the streets inside the Great Wall, which were rather quiet in the early morning.

In the back row, Su Wanqing leaned closer to Jiang Wei, and the two women began to talk in hushed tones.

The sound was faint and indistinct.

Occasionally, Jiang Wei's shy, soft reproach and Su Wanqing's low chuckle could be heard.

Lu Jiuyuan, sitting in the front row, seemed oblivious to the outside world. His brow was furrowed, and he tapped the screen with his fingers, muttering to himself: "Abnormal ice surface stress data in Zone B-7. Three more heavy-duty vibratory compaction devices are needed. Anchorage node welding precision requirements..."

The car soon stopped in front of a small shop with a wooden sign that read "Yinian Cafe".

Through the clean glass window, one could clearly see Chu Kuanglan sitting side by side with a pretty girl wearing a plain sweater and a ponytail by the window.

Chu Kuanglan turned slightly to the side.

His usually rough and rugged face was now softened as he spoke in a low voice.

This made the girl cover her mouth and chuckle softly, her eyebrows curving and her expression serene.

The people inside the car tacitly agreed not to get out immediately.

Lu Jiuyuan looked away from the screen.

Looking through the window, he lowered his voice and introduced, "That girl's name is Hua Jing. Her parents are both veterans from the Arctic front. They didn't make it back from a mission three years ago. Afterwards, she was taken care of by several of her father's old comrades-in-arms, and has been living here within the Great Wall ever since. She has a clean background and a good personality. Old Chu has a good eye this time."

Old Lu can say so much.

The intention was simply to let the group know a little about Lao Chu's girlfriend.

Fang Qingyu nodded silently.

As long as the person is okay, there's nothing more to say.

Just offer your blessings.

I waited in the car for about ten minutes.

It wasn't until Chu Kuanglan and Hua Jing got up to leave the coffee shop that I saw them.

Fang Qingyu and the others then pushed open the door and got out of the car.

"Aoko."

Chu Kuanglan spotted them immediately, a smile spreading across his face as he pulled Hua Jing along and quickly came out to greet them.

He was tall and stood next to the petite Hua Jing.

It creates a strong contrast, yet it is strangely harmonious.

"Boss, Sister Jiang, Sister Wanqing, this is my girlfriend, Hua Jing!"

Chu Kuanglan’s voice was loud and clear. He then turned to Hua Jing and introduced them one by one: “Hua Jing, this is our Captain Fang! This is Jiang Wei, Sister Jiang. This is Su Wanqing, Sister Wanqing. This is my younger brother, Lu Jiuyuan.”

Hua Jing's cheeks flushed, and she bowed slightly, somewhat nervously.

Her voice was clear and crisp, with a slight tremor, as she greeted everyone.

Fang Qingyu and the others greeted each other normally.

Only when it was Lu Jiuyuan's turn did he solemnly extend his hand and say, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Chu Kuanglan immediately rolled his eyes dramatically.

A large, fan-like hand slapped Lu Jiuyuan's outstretched hand without any politeness: "Go away, go away, you have no manners. What do you mean by 'sister-in-law'? Call her 'sister-in-law'."

A burst of lighthearted laughter eased the atmosphere of parting.

Chu Kuanglan hugged Hua Jing tightly, whispered a few words of advice, then turned around, opened the car door, and got into the driver's seat: "Let's go, let's get to work!"

After saying goodbye to Hua Jing, the off-road vehicle started up again.

They merged into the traffic heading towards the military camp.

The alloy gate of the military camp slowly opened.

The bustling yet orderly scene behind them was revealed.

The dark blue engineering vehicles were lined up like steel behemoths.

Members of the Green Dragon Gang, dressed in uniform combat gear, mingled with engineers from Deep Blue Heavy Industry.

They are busy with the final checks and inventory of supplies before boarding.

The air was filled with the mixed scents of engine oil, metal, and ice.

Shen Zhou, wrapped in his signature thick winter coat, squeezed out of the crowd like a rolling ball, his forehead covered in sweat. Upon seeing Fang Qingyu and his group, he immediately jogged over to greet them.

"Captain Fang, everything is normal on Captain Wei's end! Last night, the Ghost couldn't even touch a hair on his head."

Shen Zhou's voice was filled with excitement and a hint of hoarseness from staying up all night. He waved the tablet in his hand, which was constantly flashing data and charts. "The data feedback from the eighteen anchors yesterday was perfect. Today, our task is to build the support truss of the first phase core platform and pour the ice-resistant impact base. This is the most crucial part! As long as this framework can be erected today, the speed of modular assembly will be able to fly."

He spoke extremely fast, his spittle forming tiny white mists in the cold air.

"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Shen."

Fang Qingyu nodded. "Is everyone here?"

"Everyone's here! We've been waiting for you all!"

Shen Zhou nodded repeatedly.

Without any unnecessary pleasantries, the order to assemble was swiftly issued. Under the command of their superiors, the massive force of tens of thousands boarded various transport vehicles in an orderly fashion.

The roar of engines blended together, and the steel torrent started up again.

Leaving the Great Wall in the Arctic.

Roll over the frozen soil.

Braving the increasingly biting wind, they set off towards the ice field.

After several hours of trekking.

The dark blue sea, dotted with grayish-white ice floes, reappeared on the horizon.

It's different from when I left yesterday.

The periglacial zone has now been transformed into a massive construction site.

The dozen or so temporary high-powered searchlights illuminated the surrounding area for several kilometers as bright as day.

It dispelled the deep darkness of the long polar night.

Wei Banmeng and several core team members were standing on a makeshift command platform.

His cold gaze swept across the entire construction site and the surrounding security area.

Upon seeing Fang Qingyu and his entourage arrive in a convoy.

Wei Banmeng immediately hurried down to meet him.

Her gaze swept over the crowd, finally landing on Jiang Wei, who was clinging tightly to Fang Qingyu's arm.

His steps paused almost imperceptibly.

A sincere and warm smile instantly bloomed on his cool face.

Wei Banmeng stepped forward and gave Jiang Wei a hug, saying, "You're finally awake."

She released her embrace and placed her hands on Jiang Wei's shoulders.

He looked her up and down carefully, his eyes filled with undisguised concern.

Jiang Wei hugged her back, a bright and relaxed smile on her face: "Yes, I'm sorry to have worried you."

She let go of his hand and looked back at the huge construction site, brightly lit and filled with the roar of machinery.

A hint of amazement flashed in her clear red eyes, "This is our future city?"

"Correct."

Wei Banmeng nodded, "But this is just the beginning."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the atmosphere immediately settled into a more relaxed mood.

Wei Banmeng quickly reported on the security situation last night.

Indeed, as Shen Zhou said, Wei Banmeng and his group did a good job of intercepting them.

Not a single ghost was spared.

This allowed Shen Zhou to race against time to complete the initial stress balance monitoring of the anchoring system.

"Thank you for your hard work. Take everyone to rest. Leave this to us."

Fang Qingyu said in a deep voice.

Wei Banmeng did not refuse; a night of heightened vigilance had taken a heavy toll on her mental well-being.

She nodded and led the people who had been on duty with her the night before toward the temporary housing area at the back.

Others also started getting busy.

Fang Qingyu then led Jiang Wei to the area they had defended the day before.

Then he turned to look at Jiang Wei beside him and said softly, "Little Jiang."

"Ok?"

Jiang Wei immediately looked up, her clear eyes fixed intently on him.

"Unless something unexpected happens recently, I'll need you to keep an eye on things for me. I have some things to take care of here."

Fang Qingyu looked at the distant snow and said softly.

Jiang Wei held Fang Qingyu's hand, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

However, she nodded in agreement immediately.

"it is good."

A hint of warmth flashed in Fang Qingyu's eyes.

He took something out of his inner pocket.

Place it in Jiang Wei's outstretched palm.

It was a bone flute, about three inches long, with a smooth, jade-like texture.

"Keep this."

Fang Qingyu lowered his voice, "If you encounter a situation that even you find difficult to handle, or if an unexpectedly powerful ghost attacks the construction site and endangers everyone's safety, then blow the whistle."

"There will be a level 4 and three level 3 personnel to help. We will try our best to avoid any casualties during this construction project."

Jiang Wei's slender fingers gently caressed the cool, strange bone flute.

Curiosity deepened in her clear red eyes: "What is this...? And who will help me when I'm not around?"

Fang Qingyu hesitated for a moment, seemingly choosing his words carefully: "Uh, those people's identities are a bit too distant. Just treat them as my subordinates."

He paused, then added, "However, they are not human. If they accidentally reveal their true forms, remember to reassure the others and prevent panic."

Listening to this mysterious and somewhat absurd explanation.

Jiang Wei seemed to be deep in thought.

She gripped the bone flute in her hand and nodded her little head obediently again: "I understand. Don't worry, leave this to me."

Looking at her earnest and reliable appearance.

Fang Qingyu's heart softened. He habitually raised his hand and gently ruffled her soft, rosy hair, his smile warm and trusting: "Okay, I'll be going now."

After saying that, he turned around.

Ready to blend into the wind and snow of this icy plain.

However, just as he was about to take the first step...
Suddenly, my wrist was gripped tightly by a cool but unusually strong hand.

A force suddenly came, catching Fang Qingyu off guard.

Pulled back by this force, he stumbled and was forced to turn around.

He looked up in astonishment.

What came into view was Jiang Wei's stunningly beautiful face so close to mine.

In her clear, ruby-like eyes.

At this moment, a complex and intense emotion, one that Fang Qingyu had never seen before, surged within him.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Snowflakes whipped up by the cold wind danced around them.

Before Fang Qingyu could fully react...

Jiang Wei stood on tiptoe.

A soft touch landed on Fang Qingyu's slightly parted lips.

boom!
Fang Qingyu's starry eyes suddenly widened.

Jiang Wei's tightly closed eyes and slightly trembling long eyelashes were clearly reflected in the glass.

The touch was cool and soft, carrying the unique fragrance of a young girl, yet it was also as hot as a brand.

It instantly ignited all his sensory nerves.

He was forcibly kissed?!
The thought exploded, both absurd and real.

However, just as his shocked nerve endings began to send out the signal to "fight back".
The figure in front of me.

The soft touch that lingered on her lips vanished without a trace.

Fang Qingyu was left standing there, frozen in place.

The lingering coolness still lingered on my lips.

The biting wind whipped up snowflakes and lashed against his face.

It brings a touch of cool clarity.

Fang Qingyu subconsciously raised his hand, his fingertips gently brushing against his lower lip.

His eyes held a complex and unspoken expression, which eventually turned into a helpless, bitter smile.

He murmured to himself, a hint of disbelief and doting affection in his voice: "This girl..."

The next second, Fang Qingyu didn't linger any longer.

Suddenly, starlight shone all around him, dazzling and brilliant.

It instantly engulfed his entire body.

The light flashed and disappeared in an instant, leaving the spot empty except for the continued howling of the wind and snow.

This girl must be too shy to come out.

So staying here will only create awkwardness.

Tens of meters away.

In the shadow of a huge icicle, the air rippled like water.

Jiang Wei's figure slowly emerged.

She leaned against the icy wall, one hand pressed tightly against her violently heaving chest, as if her heart was about to leap out at any moment.

His other hand instinctively rose up.

Her slender, fair fingertips gently touched her burning, numb lips.

That's it.

It seemed as if Fang Qingyu's presence still lingered.

Her cheeks were as red as ripe berries.

It extends all the way down to her small earlobes and slender neck.

Her clear eyes shimmered with moisture, carrying the shyness of someone tasting forbidden fruit for the first time, lingering fear, and a hint of sly and sweet satisfaction after succeeding.

She stuck out her pink tongue, like a kitten that had successfully stolen some fish.

She quickly licked her equally hot lips.

Feel that unfamiliar taste quietly spreading between your lips and teeth.

The wind and snow howled.

But it couldn't dispel the burning excitement in the girl's heart.

And the other side.

Fang Qingyu is currently flying at high speed in the sky.

The cool, soft touch on my lips still seems to linger.

My thoughts drifted back to a few minutes ago.

Jiang Wei as an adult
Their behavior has become far more audacious than anything else.

Just like two different people.

It's not just about physical and mental maturation and transformation.

Along with that, the intense and direct emotions that had been suppressed beneath the child's body also erupted.

It completely broke through all barriers.

This is naturally a good thing for Fang Qingyu.

This was when Jiang Wei was a child.

Fang Qingyu didn't actually have such thoughts; he felt more about responsibility.

But after growing up once, that inexplicable feeling began to take root and sprout in my heart.

However, Fang Qingyu still did not intend to say it.

After all, Jiang Wei at that time had lived for many years.

But it still hasn't fully grown in.

But this time, as they grew up, Fang Qingyu never expected that Jiang Wei would take the initiative herself.
This directly broke through that barrier.

There was no probing, no roundabout approach.

Only the purest and most fervent declaration.

This actually left Fang Qingyu somewhat at a loss.

However, as a man, it's impossible to run away from such feelings.

From the moment Jiang Wei woke up this morning, her undisguised affection and closeness began.

Fang Qingyu readily accepted.

And tacitly approved of this change in the relationship.

However, in this way...

Fang Qingyu felt an even stronger sense of crisis.

Now that Jiang Wei has grown up again, who knows, maybe a god will descend from the sky tomorrow.

However, his current combat strength is unprecedented in history among those of the same level.

But it is still not enough.

The enemy won't wait for you to grow stronger.

They don't care if you are young or talented.

They only care about results, only about removing obstacles.

They will seize everything they want.

Just like what Old Man Hong said before.

There aren't that many stages in this world for you to perform on.

Only life or death!

Now, if Fang Qingyu wants to maintain this relationship...

Then you need to become stronger, so strong that even all the gods and Buddhas in the sky cannot stop you.

And that's exactly what Fang Qingyu is going to do now.

Go farm skill points to meet the prerequisites for mastering the Invincible Technique.

Currently, both prerequisites for the "Invincible" skill can be obtained by adding attribute points.

Attribute points can only be obtained by doing part-time jobs every night.

Skill points, on the other hand, are the hard currency for quickly raising the level of the Formless Heart Sutra and Body Refining Technique.

The improvement of these two can also indirectly promote the breakthrough of Starfall and Rock Thought.

A two-pronged approach.

That's the fastest.

Staying at the construction site in Dawn City to handle security can also allow you to kill some harassing ghosts and gain skill points.

But that kind of efficiency is just a drop in the ocean.

By the time the city is built, you won't be able to get many skill points.

After all, the ghosts that come to attack are random.

That's why Fang Qingyu asked Jiang Wei and Xu Fu to guard for him.

He was a killer who came to the depths of the Arctic!

In any case, the rule that higher-level beings cannot take the initiative to attack lower-level beings has been broken.

The Arctic today is practically unrestricted.

This also means...

Fang Qingyu can do whatever he wants in this deep Arctic region!

A burst of dazzling starlight erupted around him, and his speed surged once again.

It fiercely tore through the thick winds and snow curtains, shooting towards that ultimate hunting ground deep in the Arctic.

The wind and snow howled.

It was as if they were preparing for the impending bloodshed.

The overture begins.
