"It must be an illusion. How could so many things happen in one day?" Zhang Yuan thought to himself.
Composing himself, he said to Qing Yanjing, "I just scouted the area and found a gourd-shaped valley surrounded by cliffs with only one entrance. It's perfect for carrying out my plan. I'll take you there now, and you can choose a place you like to stay temporarily, how about that?"
"I will obey your orders, sir." Qing Yanjing nodded gently.
Zhang Yuan immediately got up and walked out of the tent, signaling Qing Yanjing to follow.
Upon seeing this, Yao Ye and Qin Jingyan immediately stood up, wanting to follow.
But they had only taken two steps when Zhang Yuan turned around and said, "You two can clean up this place; consider it your payment for today."
After saying that, he walked out of the tent without looking back.
Yao Ye and Qin Jingyan exchanged glances, and the former said, "The master is talking to you, so respond quickly if you hear him."
Qin Jingyan: "."
You are the princess, you make the decisions.
Give me your hand, and I'll guide you.
Outside the tent, Zhang Yuan extended his hand to Qing Yanjing.
A flicker of panic crossed Qing Yanjing's eyes as she asked, "Sir, aren't we going to ride horses?"
“That’s too slow. It would take half an hour to go back and forth. It will be much faster if I take you flying.” Zhang Yuan looked into Qing Yanjing’s eyes, his expression clear.
I, Qing Yanjing, am conflicted.
Although Zhang Yuan gave her a strange sense of security, he was still someone she had just met.
She felt that such an ambiguous posture was inappropriate between the two of them.
At this moment, Yaoye ran out of the tent and said, "Sir, where are you going? Take me with you."
Qing Yanjing breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Zhang Yuan had no choice but to agree to ride a horse.
"Sorry, I don't have a spare hand to help you."
Zhang Yuan glanced at Yao Ye, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Qing Yanjing's small hand.
The next moment, battle qi armor appeared around him, and it also spread to Qing Yanjing. Then, the strange fire transformed into wings, and he took off into the air.
Yao Ye gritted her teeth: "."
This jerk could easily carry another person with his other hand.
They deliberately didn't take me!
"Sir, so this is how you get me to fly?"
Qing Yanjing stared at the scenery below, which was getting smaller and smaller, her mouth slightly open and her eyes wide with astonishment.
"Hmm?" Zhang Yuan turned to look at her, feigning confusion, and asked, "Otherwise, what do you think I'm supposed to do?"
A blush appeared on Qingyan Jing's pretty face, a mixture of embarrassment at her own presumption and awkwardness at misunderstanding Zhang Yuan.
"Could it be that you thought I was going to carry you away?" Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment, then feigned sudden realization and said, "Last time was an accident. If I were to hug and cuddle casually, wouldn't I be considered a pervert? Is that the impression you have of me?"
"No, no, I was just overthinking it." Qing Yanjing turned her head away, not daring to look at Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan chuckled inwardly, thinking that this woman was quite easy to fool.
If that wasn't what he meant in the first place, why didn't he say so clearly and not involve Yao Ye?
However, once she calms down and thinks back on it, she'll definitely understand.
“Actually, you didn’t overthink it; that’s exactly what I meant,” Zhang Yuan suddenly said.
He never intended to pretend to be a gentleman to deceive women.
Otherwise, why would he knowingly flirt with Little Fairy Doctor when Ling Ying was around?
"Huh?" Qing Yanjing turned her head with a puzzled look.
Then she felt her body suddenly lose its support and begin to fall downwards.
Zhang Yuan released her hand, and the battle aura that had connected her to Zhang Yuan's battle aura armor instantly disappeared.
"boom."
Before Qing Yanjing could scream, she felt herself fall into a firm embrace.
"You!" Qing Yanjing glared at Zhang Yuan, both ashamed and angry.
"Don't do anything reckless." Zhang Yuan said, looking down. "My battle qi is limited. Carrying you like that would consume too much energy. It's much easier this way. I wasn't lying to Yao Ye just now, really."
Qing Yanjing said with shame and indignation, "Do I look like someone who's easy to fool?"
"I don't know if she's easy to fool, but she's definitely very pretty." Zhang Yuan stared at Qing Yanjing's face.
Qingyan only realized after a moment that his veil had fallen off when he touched his face.
"A dignified Black Armor Guard Captain, and he's actually a lecherous scoundrel," Qing Yanjing said angrily.
“Why can’t the Black Armor Guard Captain be a lecherous scoundrel?” Zhang Yuan retorted.
"You!" Qing Yanjing gritted her teeth, unable to utter a word.
"Hahaha~"
Zhang Yuan let out a hearty laugh, then said, "Yan Jing, I just thought you were too aloof, so I teased you a bit to help you relax."
"Yesterday was an accident, but this is your first time experiencing the feeling of flying. Instead of brooding, why not enjoy it and appreciate the different scenery?"
"Don't worry, I won't do anything inappropriate to you."
Don't do anything out of line?
Could you please remove your hands from my waist and thighs?
Qing Yanjing secretly grumbled to herself, but looking at the surrounding scenery, she felt more relaxed than ever before.
I'm at their mercy, like a fish on a chopping board. Since I can't resist anyway, I might as well enjoy it.
Ling Ying saw all of this and was speechless for a moment.
Should he tell the young lady about this, or not?
Let's not say anything. Saying it will only make Miss Xun'er unhappy.
Anyway, after Miss Xun'er returned to her family, she and Young Master Zhang Yuan were from two different worlds.
Yes, it's all for Miss Xun'er, definitely not because I'm obligated to pay for her food.
"This is the place. Where do you want to live?"
Half an hour later, Zhang Yuan led Qing Yanjing to a spot halfway up a mountain.
Under the starlight, the area is surrounded by cliffs for miles around, with forests, streams, and waterfalls.
"So beautiful," Qing Yanjing exclaimed unconsciously.
“It is indeed beautiful.” Zhang Yuan nodded, then said, “Aren’t you going to jump off me?”
Qing Yanjing jumped to the ground as if by reflex, but lost her balance and fell to one side.
Of course, with her peak Grand Battle Master strength, she definitely won't fall in the end, and even if she does, it won't hurt.
But a hand reached out and pulled her close, a gentle voice saying, "Be careful."
Qing Yanjing's heart was pounding, and she instinctively maintained a safe distance from Zhang Yuan.
This man is "toxic"!
Unfortunately, she couldn't escape this "poison".
Next, after Qing Yanjing chose the place she wanted to live, Zhang Yuan personally built her a wooden house, or rather, a banana hut, which included two bedrooms, a lobby, a kitchen, a study, and a pavilion.
After Zhang Yuan took out furniture and daily necessities from his storage ring and arranged them, the room was quite elegant.
"Are you going to stay here too?" Qing Yanjing asked, looking at the two bedrooms.
"Otherwise, how can I protect you closely?" Zhang Yuan retorted.
Qing Yanjing really wanted to say that she didn't need protection.
But she knew even more that she couldn't refuse Zhang Yuan by saying that.
Forget it, I'll just be careful and keep my distance from this man.
However, Qing Yanjing's wariness did not last long.
Time flies like an arrow, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this month, Zhang Yuan and Qing Yanjing lived in the Banana Cottage, spending every day together.
But Zhang Yuan knew how to keep his distance and didn't do anything excessive, only occasionally trying to gain an advantage verbally.
Qing Yanjing gradually got used to this life and Zhang Yuan's presence, and the safe distance between them decreased infinitely.
During this month, the plan that Zhang Yuan submitted to Qin Zhenming was also successfully implemented.
Qing Yanjing does indeed possess a strange attraction to the surrounding magical beasts, who spontaneously converge towards Calabash Valley. Meanwhile, the Black Armor Guards set traps in the middle section and regularly cleaned them up, earning them remarkable achievements.
Qin Zhenming has laughed more in this month than he has in the previous year, and Zhang Yuan has also made some guesses about Qing Yanjing's situation.
Today, Zhang Yuan was not as calm as usual. He hesitated for a long time at Qing Yanjing's door before asking, "Yanjing, may I come in?"
Chapter 58 On the day of the full moon, a fifth-tier magical beast suddenly appears.
"what?"
Inside the wooden house, Qing Yanjing, who was comfortably soaking in a wooden tub, subconsciously opened her eyes, a look of confusion in them.
For the past month, she has been living here with Zhang Yuan, who has always kept a respectful distance, spending his days playing chess, arranging flowers, reading books, and eating the dishes she cooks.
Every day, she would watch Zhang Yuan practice his fighting skills, including halberd and sword techniques, or slay any magical beasts that wandered into the valley.
The two had gotten along very well, and she now felt relaxed and trusting towards Zhang Yuan, without any reservations.
But now, Zhang Yuan came over while she was taking a shower and immediately said he wanted to come in.
Has he finally given up?
No, Zhang Yuan is not a hypocrite, nor has he concealed his feelings for her; he must have something important to discuss.
