The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

"I never said I would definitely keep the bet," Gu Ran said with a deliberately cold face. "You agreed to it, are you going to go back on your word? If you go back on your word, I can go back on my word too."

Cheng Caimeng smiled, took out a black metal box, and placed it on the table.

She opened the metal box, revealing steaming...chicken soup inside?

Gu Ran looked at the chicken soup with surprise.

He had sensed the metal box with his telekinesis, but he couldn't see through it to know what was inside.

However, to his surprise, Cheng Caimeng brought a box of chicken soup and waited for him in his research room.

Cheng Caimeng took out a bowl and chopsticks and ladled out the chicken soup, which was crystal clear but covered with a thin layer of yellow oil. There were also two pieces of chicken in the soup, which gave off an enticing aroma.

"Here you go, don't get the wrong idea. I just accidentally cooked a little too much chicken soup, it wasn't made especially for you."

Although her words sounded arrogant, Cheng Caimeng said them with a slightly mischievous expression on her face.

She showed absolutely no trace of arrogance.

Why aren't you eating? Do you want me to feed you?

Without waiting for Gu Ran's reply, Cheng Caimeng picked up a soup spoon, scooped up a spoonful of soup, and gently blew on it.

Her glossy red lips were just a hair's breadth away from the chicken soup.

Then, as she parted her lips slightly and blew on the chicken soup to cool it down, the corner of her lips touched the soup spoon.

Cheng Caimeng licked the soup stains off her lips with her tongue while smiling as she scooped the soup spoon to Gu Ran's lips.

"Here, drink."

Cheng Caimeng's actions left Gu Ran momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Suddenly, a voice came from over.

"What are you two doing?!"

Xue Xiling watched in shock as Cheng Caimeng moved closer to Gu Ran, and Cheng Caimeng even licked her lips.

234. Cheng Caimeng: Me or Xue Xiling, which one would you choose? (4k)

Xue Xiling was so shocked that she didn't even notice the soup spoon and bowl in Cheng Caimeng's hand.

"You...you...could it be..." Xue Xiling stammered, she had a guess in her heart, but she couldn't say it out loud.

"Do you want to stay like this forever?" Cheng Caimeng winked at Gu Ran. "If not, then hurry up and drink the chicken soup."

At this moment, Cheng Caimeng was close to Gu Ran. Although she was not wearing martial arts attire, but just ordinary clothes, her curvaceous figure was still very obvious.

When she got close to Gu Ran, Gu Ran could not only feel the softness and elasticity of her body, but also smell a faint fragrance.

This fragrance is not the strong scent that comes from cosmetics, but rather a light herbal aroma.

Gu Ran instantly recalled some information about martial arts training methods.

Because martial artists place great emphasis on physical training, some sects incorporate precious herbal decoctions as an auxiliary part of their cultivation.

Such martial artists generally have more resilient and stronger bodies than those of martial artists from other sects.

In the illustrations Gu Ran had seen, martial artists from this sect possessed an extremely high degree of control over their bodies and could perform various difficult movements.

Many of the poses were even more difficult than those performed by yoga masters he had seen in another world.

Therefore, in the more feudal and sectarian era, many large families would specifically train such low-ranking female warriors as maids for their own enjoyment.

Of course, this is not a very proper way to use it.

The predecessor of the Ni Yuan Martial Arts Hall was the Ni Yuan Sect. A prestigious sect like the Ni Yuan Sect would certainly not do something so low-class and tasteless.

They have their own special techniques that allow them to cultivate to the level of a martial arts grandmaster, and train top-tier assassin-type experts at the grandmaster level.

It's no wonder that Cheng Caimeng's sword dance was so graceful when she performed it for him last time, like a colorful butterfly fluttering in the air.

However, how could a sect that emphasizes physical cultivation have a technique that can "foresee the future"?

Who left it?

In an instant, Gu Ran's thoughts raced through his mind, jumping from Cheng Caimeng to the predecessor of the Ni Yuan Martial Arts Hall, the Ni Yuan Sect.

It wasn't that Cheng Caimeng's body lacked appeal, but rather the enigmatic fate surrounding him that had been troubling him, making him even more concerned about this aspect.

So much so that Cheng Cai dreamt that he didn't respond to her and directly shoved a soup spoon into his mouth before he realized what was happening.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as you agreeing to let me feed you."

Cheng Caimeng put the spoon back into the bowl, then scooped a sip for herself.

"How is it? My chicken soup is delicious, isn't it? I put a lot of herbs in it to enhance the flavor and improve your constitution. Although your stiff body probably doesn't need improvement... Look, I drank it myself. You don't need to worry about me putting poison in it, and you don't need to keep that long face."

Setting the bowl down, Cheng Caimeng turned to Xue Xiling and smiled:

"Oh, it's Researcher Xue. I've come to deliver chicken soup to Professor Gu to thank him for his guidance of my sister. Would you like a bowl, Researcher Xue? However, I've only prepared one bowl for Professor Gu. If you wish to drink some, you'll have to bring your own bowl and spoon."

After finishing, Cai Meng looked very apologetic.

"You...you two are already in that kind of relationship?" Xue Xiling asked in shock.

Immediately, her face fell uncontrollably.

"Not really."

"Although I like her, she doesn't reciprocate my feelings, so I'm here to try and get closer to her, right?" Cheng Caimeng asked with a smile. "What, does Researcher Xue also like Professor Gu?"

Xue Xiling did not expect Cheng Caimeng to say such a thing, and even to ask her such a question in front of Gu Ran.

For a moment, she had no idea how to answer.

She couldn't bring herself to answer "yes," feeling extremely embarrassed.

But she didn't want to go against her true feelings and say "no."

So she hesitated, her lips trembling as she spoke, completely unsure how to begin.

"Alright, stop teasing her. She's not as bold as you," Gu Ran said. "Tell me, how did you know I just got back, and how did you prepare chicken soup in advance? I just got back not long ago, and probably not many people saw me come back."

“It’s very simple… because of my ability, have you forgotten?” Cheng Caimeng smiled. “Actually, I’m a little confused. Before, my ability was completely useless to you, so I bumped into you several times.”

"But recently, it seems like it's because my abilities have improved, I can now foresee you, and I involuntarily foresee things about you quite frequently. If you have any doubts about your future, you can come to the Reverse Origin Martial Arts Hall to ask me. It's not really appropriate for me, a girl, to always come to you, is it?"

“You don’t have to come looking for me.” Gu Ran listened to Cheng Caimeng’s answer thoughtfully, and then subconsciously retorted.

Xue Xiling watched Gu Ran and Cheng Caimeng flirting and felt a pang of sadness for some reason.

"I......"

However, before she could say "I have something to do, I'll go first" in her mind, she heard Gu Ran call her.

"Xi Ling, don't just stand at the door, come in. You came to see me, so you must have something to say, right?"

Gu Ran had been watching Xue Xiling closely, and when he saw the troubled look on her face, he knew she had misunderstood something.

He hadn't expected Cheng Caimeng's actions and was shocked by her, so although he noticed Xue Xiling coming this way through his telekinesis, he hadn't had time to adjust.

Although he did not agree to get engaged to Xue Xiling, and only regarded her as a younger sister, he did not want his "innocence" to be damaged and cause Xue Xiling unnecessary sadness.

It's best to explain it clearly.

"Master Cheng... is a friend of mine. She likes to joke around, so don't overthink it." Gu Ran subtly moved away from Cheng Caimeng's delicate body.

Cheng Caimeng looked at the cautious Gu Ran with amusement, but didn't say anything more. Instead, she cooperated with his explanation.

"It's rare for Researcher Gu, who is renowned throughout the entire Human Alliance, to consider me a friend. This is something that many people would do anything to achieve."

“I’ve heard that Researcher Gu’s name is not only known in the four cities of Canglong, Zhuque, Xinyue, and Jidong, but even in the most remote Jibei city. You are now the most famous top expert in our Canglong City.”

"I'm just an ordinary martial artist who has mastered the Qi Condensation stage. Naturally, I admire such a powerful figure. So, it's perfectly normal for me to use motivational quotes to win him over. If a big shot like Researcher Gu were to speak up, no one would dare to mess with my sister and me."

Although Cheng Caimeng was explaining, her explanation felt rather strange.

Xue Xiling accepted.

"So Master Cheng is an admirer of Gu Ran."

Xue Xiling breathed a sigh of relief, but then her body suddenly tensed up again as she realized something.

Gu Ran's admirers?

Such a beautiful woman with such a great figure is an admirer?

Gu Ran... he wouldn't be tempted, would he?

No, no, no, such an admirer is very likely to fall in love.

Xue Xiling looked at Cheng Caimeng's bulging breasts, then at her own, and couldn't help but feel inferior.

Although you can also see undulating curves there, it's still far inferior to Cheng Caimeng's.

Although she usually buries herself in her research, she is also able to appreciate the beauty of women and knows what kind of women men generally like.

Cheng Caimeng's older sister demeanor deeply frustrated her.

Moreover, Cheng Caimeng's appearance is no less than hers.

If it were her, she would probably choose someone like Cheng Caimeng too.

Although Gu Ran didn't know exactly what Xue Xiling was thinking, he noticed that her gaze was constantly shifting between Xue Xiling and herself.
