Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 41 The curator asked me to stay and keep you company.

Five minutes later.

"Jiang Lan, welcome to the War God Palace. You will receive a consciousness-sensing helmet free of charge. With the helmet, you can directly enter the War God Palace's virtual space no matter where you are on Earth."

A mind-sensing helmet? Can you enter a virtual world after wearing it?

Jiang Lan was somewhat curious.

Although he knew such things existed in the world, he had never experienced them.

Seeing Jiang Lan's emotions, Zhuge Shan continued:

"Once you receive the helmet and enter the virtual space, someone will guide you through the process."

"I understand." Jiang Lan suppressed her curiosity and nodded slightly.

"By the way, should I have the helmet delivered here, or to your... Mingyue residential area?"

Jiang Lan pondered for a moment before replying, "Mingyue Residential Area, I guess."

While virtual spaces are intriguing, they hold far less allure for Jiang Lan than the wilderness.

In Jiang Lan's mind, the most urgent task was still to quickly go to the wilderness area to improve her strength.

"Alright, I'm all done here. I'll have the guard tell you what's going on."

As he spoke, Zhuge Shan slightly turned to make way for the alluring woman standing behind him.

"I'll come."

Her alluring voice carried a hint of indifference beneath its calm tone, as if she were completely unfamiliar with Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan's eyes flashed, and he saw that Yao Rao had already walked away into the distance.

He quickly followed.

Led by the alluring woman, Jiang Lan returned to the quiet room where she had just spoken with Hong.

Jiang Lan had just pushed the door open when she turned around and paused slightly in surprise.

The alluring woman had already removed her mask, crossed her legs, and had a faint smile on her face.

Are you surprised?

"No," Jiang Lan replied, swallowing almost imperceptibly.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Yao Rao took out her phone from her pocket and tapped it a few times with her slender, white fingers.

The next moment, Jiang Lan's phone vibrated in her pocket.

I took out my phone and saw an unread message on the screen, which was just sent by Yaorao.

The above is a string of numbers.

"This is the museum owner's private contact number. Save it so you can contact him if needed."

Private number...

Jiang Lan's eyes flickered for a moment.

At Hong's level, private communications are generally known to very few people.

Even if those below wanted to contact him, they had to report up the chain of command, just like Zhuge Tao.

As the head of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy headquarters in a base city, Zhuge Tao had to go through Zhuge Shan to contact Hong, and then Zhuge Shan would have to report through Inspector Liu, going up the chain of command.

Therefore, the fact that Hong was willing to give Jiang Lan his private contact number shows that he values ​​Jiang Lan very much.

Silently saving the number, Jiang Lan looked up at Yao Rao and said:

"I see."

Although it wasn't the first time he had seen Yao Rao, he still thought she was breathtakingly beautiful.

She is not entirely of Chinese descent, but rather of mixed race.

Her long, wavy blonde hair accentuated her already deep-set features, making them appear even more defined. Her captivating, narrow eyes were mesmerizing, drawing people in at first glance.

Yao Rao tilted her head and looked at Jiang Lan. After a few seconds, she finally spoke, "Your progress is very fast."

Jiang Lan smirked. "Did you initially think that two months was just a joke, and that it was impossible to complete?"

"Yes."

Yao Rao didn't shy away from speaking, and opened her mouth softly.

"You were just a mid-level warrior before, and in just two months you became someone who surpasses the God of War. No matter how you look at it, it's just too unbelievable. I really didn't believe it before."

As she spoke, Yao Rao looked at Jiang Lan again, a slight smile playing on her lips, "But now, I'm starting to believe it."

Jiang Lan leaned back slightly on the sofa.

He was actually a little surprised.

From any perspective, Yao Rao can be considered a favored daughter of heaven.

Even if Yao Rao didn't dislike this fiancé who appeared out of nowhere, she wouldn't be in this state now.

just like……

Far from being unwilling, she was actually somewhat looking forward to it?

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lan didn't say anything, but stood up from the sofa.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"What's the rush?"

Jiang Lan paused.

He was in a hurry, wasn't he?

Now, although he no longer feels that Yao Rao is out of reach like before, the difference in their strength is still there.

The fact that he was less capable than his fiancée... Although Jiang Lan wasn't particularly chauvinistic, he would definitely feel a little uncomfortable when he was with Yao Rao.

Of course, all the fear stems from insufficient firepower.

Things will be fine once our strength improves.

Go to the wilderness and kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!

Thoughts raced through his mind, but Jiang Lan remained composed and said:

"I had already agreed with Tao... Zhuge Tao that we were going to the wilderness area."

Yao Rao immediately stood up, took the mask lying flat on the sofa next to her with her jade-like hand, and said, "I'll go with you."

Jiang Lan: "?"

Where are you going?

Before he could ask, Yao Rao explained, "The Master has already left. He asked me to stay with you during this time."

Jiang Lan was completely bewildered.

No?

Do I need you to accompany me?

Having a beautiful woman by your side is certainly pleasing, but Jiang Lan has to sacrifice a monster.

When the two of them go to the wilderness together, he kills one and then disappears. What, are you playing a game? Do dead monsters automatically respawn?

As I said before, not only can I not reveal the existence of the system to my fiancée, but I can't even tell my own wife.

For a moment, Jiang Lan's brain was practically spinning like a little electric motor, trying to figure out how to stop Yao Rao from following him.

"No."

"What's wrong?"

"Sigh..." Jiang Lan sighed, then looked up. "Actually, I'd like you to come with me, but not now. Before I fulfill my promise, I think it's best for us to keep our distance."

Why?

Jiang Lan was speechless when Yao Rao asked the question again.

Why else would I not take you?

After a moment of silence, Jiang Lan decided to use her ultimate move.

He looked up, ran his fingers through his hair a couple of times, and said flippantly, "I'm afraid you'll fall in love with me."

After saying this, Jiang Lan herself felt a little nauseous.

That's so damn greasy.

However, given the urgency of the situation, after much thought, Jiang Lan could only come up with this one solution.

Even if Yao Rao finds him cloying, it doesn't matter; impressions can be changed later.

But if Yao Rao were to go to the wilderness with him, he would be left with nothing but frustration.

"Pfft..." Yao Rao held it in for a long time, but finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Alright, you don't need to pretend with me. We've been together before. Although you're pretty shameless, you're not this shameless."

Jiang Lan: "?"

What does it mean to be shameless? Let me explain!

Yao Rao continued:

"I don't know why, but since you don't want me to come along, then see you in two months... no, fifty-four days."
