Tang Wulin, you have already chosen your own death!

She glanced at the jade box Jiang Nannan was clutching tightly, then at the lingering, subtle atmosphere between them, and a knowing smile curved her lips as she deliberately drew out her words:

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"I was wondering why I couldn't find them anywhere; turns out they were here."

She winked at Jiang Nannan, "Still holding a gift?"

"Wu Lin, not bad! I didn't realize you were so capable!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan's cheeks, which were already flushed with excitement, turned even redder, like a ripe apple.

Instinctively, she tried to hide the jade box behind her back, stammering as she tried to explain, "Xiaoya! It's not what you think..."

"What do you mean?" Tang Ya interrupted her with a grin, teasing her on purpose.

But jokes aside, Tang Ya's playful expression quickly faded, replaced by genuine concern.

She stepped forward, gently took Jiang Nannan's hand, and her tone became serious:

"Okay, okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. I've been looking for you for ages! You didn't seem right today, and you're still not back in your dorm so late, how could I not worry?"

She paused, looking at her best friend with gentle eyes.

"Such a big thing happened in your family, and you didn't even tell me. Don't you consider me a friend?"

It turned out that Tang Ya had keenly noticed that Jiang Nannan had been in low spirits lately, and when she saw that Jiang Nannan hadn't returned home late tonight, she was worried and went out to look for her.

She even mobilized Beibei and Xu Sanshi to search separately in the academy, but she was lucky and found the person first at the Sea God Lake.

Seeing his good friend catching up, Tang Wulin didn't want to be a third wheel any longer.

Those who are clean will be clean by themselves.

Yes, that's right, he only likes Gu Yue.

Before long, Xu Sanshi and Beibei also arrived.

Tang Wulin took his leave on the spot, but the three of them showed no intention of letting him go.

He took Tang Wulin to dinner.

Jiang Nannan offered to pay the bill and thanked Tang Wulin.

But soon, she felt like crying but couldn't.

"You really can eat a lot. Whoever marries you in the future will be exhausted from cooking."

That wasn't all. After dinner, the five of them went to a hot spring bathhouse in the outer city of Shrek.

Separate bathing for men and women.

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan, two girls, were together, while Tang Wulin, two boys, were in a bathtub.

Inside the hot spring pool, steam rises, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Tang Ya, like a nimble little fish, darted over to Jiang Nannan, who was leaning against the edge of the pool.

Without saying a word, he put his arm around hers, a smile on his face.

"Hehe, Nan Nan~" she drawled, her big eyes darting around Jiang Nan Nan's blushing face.

"Quickly, tell the truth! When you were holding the box and looking at that kid Wu Lin just now, your eyes were practically brimming with tears!"

Tell me, is it because you've taken a liking to our little Wu Lin?

Confess the truth!

Chapter 39: Huo Gua Makes His Debut! Entering the Main Storyline

The hot spring pool was filled with steam. Tang Ya swam to Jiang Nannan's side like a nimble fish and grabbed her arm.

Jiang Nannan's ears turned red.

She frantically tried to break free: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just... very grateful to him!"

"So grateful your eyes are shining? So grateful you have to arrange a private meeting?" Tang Ya leaned close to her ear, her voice low: "Let me tell you, Wu Lin has the bloodline of a golden dragon, the ancestor of power, that physique..."

She winked mischievously, "Whoever marries him in the future will definitely be very happy after marriage."

Tang Ya's gaze then swept over her friend, her hands wandering restlessly over Jiang Nannan's delicate body.

She added, "But Xiao Wu Lin won't be at a disadvantage either. With his Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul, his body is so flexible, he can do whatever he wants..."

But he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Xiaoya!" Jiang Nannan shrank back into the water in embarrassment, leaving only half of her flushed face exposed. Her two fair and tender thighs, like white pythons, were tightly pressed together underwater, and her body was burning hot.

"If you say that again, I'm ignoring you!"

Jiang Nannan received a rather conservative education from childhood.

When Tang Ya first started dating Bei Bei, it took her a long time to accept it.

How could anyone stand such direct, risqué jokes?

Seeing that her friend was annoyed, Tang Ya quickly smiled apologetically.

She noticed that Jiang Nannan always submerged herself in the water whenever she came to the hot springs, and asked curiously, "Why are you always hiding in the water?"

Jiang Nannan blushed and did not answer immediately.

Under Tang Ya's puzzled gaze, she straightened up slightly, the hot spring water sliding down her smooth skin, creating shimmering waves.

In the misty haze, the full, upright curves shimmered with a dewy sheen, and then the water surface rippled slightly.

She sank back down quickly, her voice barely audible: "My breasts... will float up..."

Tang Ya was taken aback.

My gaze involuntarily drifted downwards, landing on that flat, open area.

Her face immediately fell.

There is no harm without comparison!

Tang Ya pouted, looking depressed, and also submerged herself in the water.

The water was calm, and nothing happened.

"That's not fair!" she angrily slapped the water.

At this moment, Jiang Nannan was feeling uneasy because of what Tang Ya had just said.

Golden Dragon bloodline...that physique...the images of Tang Wulin running with her every day for the past two years involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

They're running buddies too.

Is your body really in good health?

The sudden thought that popped into her mind startled her so much that she shook her head violently, choked on several mouthfuls of water, and coughed until tears streamed down her face.

"What's wrong?" Tang Ya asked, leaning closer.

"N-nothing!" Jiang Nannan hurriedly sank back into the water, only her wet eyes showing.

Oh no, what is she thinking?!

It's all Xiaoya's fault!

Meanwhile, the same thing was happening in the men's bathhouse next door.

Xu Sanshi leaned against the edge of the pool, his gaze secretly peering through the water towards Tang Wulin's lower body.

He could only describe Tang Wulin in one word.

Tyrannosaurus Rex!

Xu Sanshi looked down at his own again.

Although not exactly thin, compared to Tang Wulin's appearance, which clearly possessed explosive power and endurance...

I'm clearly older and developed earlier.

"Sigh, comparing yourself to others is just awful..."

Of course, he was referring to body shape, nothing else.

Beibei leaned against the other side, looking at Xu Sanshi's resentful expression, and couldn't help but chuckle and shake her head.

He remained calm, after all, he already had a girlfriend.

"Sanshi, what are you looking at?"

Beibei asked deliberately.

Xu Sanshi glanced at him resentfully, then looked at Tang Wulin, who was oblivious and resting with his eyes closed, and sighed deeply: "It's nothing... I just feel that this world is really unfair."

Why is it that some people are talented, have great physiques, are handsome, and even have good...things?

It must be the advantage of the Golden Dragon bloodline!

Xu Sanshi thought viciously.

He silently sank into the water, leaving only half his head above water blowing bubbles, his face full of grief and indignation.

Seeing Xu Sanshi's dejected look, Beibei chuckled and shook her head.

He turned his gaze to Tang Wulin, who was resting with his eyes closed, and suddenly remembered something, asking, "Speaking of which, Wulin, I haven't seen Sister Xiaotao for a long time. Where did she go?"

"Weren't you two always together in the Sea God's Pavilion, often helping her suppress her evil fire?"

Tang Wulin opened his eyes upon hearing this.

"She's in seclusion. The day before yesterday, I helped her completely purify the evil fire. She's currently breaking through the level 70 bottleneck and is being looked after by Elder Mu."

Tang Wulin gave a brief explanation.

For the past two years, he has been helping Ma Xiaotao suppress her evil fire, and he can sense that Ma Xiaotao seems to really be like Gu Yue.

Um... to put it simply, she also possesses extraordinary wisdom and prefers younger men.

However, Tang Wulin pretended not to understand Ma Xiaotao's rather blatant hints.

Every time I helped her suppress her inner fire, she would look at me with a resentful gaze.

Nobody wants to talk to him anymore.

Tang Wulin was happy to see this scene, after all, he wasn't a scumbag!

He didn't want to be a womanizer and get stabbed to death by Gu Yue or some other girl.

But what's worth mentioning in the last two years is that strange dream.

At first, he dreamed of his senior sister Zhang Lexuan almost every night.

Tang Wulin was starting to suspect that he had mental problems.

Waking up from a dream in the morning, feeling completely drained is not a pleasant experience.

However, the female protagonist in the dream changed later.

Gu Yue, who accompanied him, and later Gu Yue Na... Senior Sister only appeared occasionally.

This finally dispelled Tang Wulin's doubts.

In my dream, Gu Yue was gentle, clingy, and obedient to me.

Some of the ways of playing that Gu Yue would never agree to, in his opinion, would also happen in his dreams.

This made Tang Wulin somewhat indulge in the gentle embrace of love.

He also considered the deeper reasons.

Perhaps it was due to puberty combined with strong willpower.

But he didn't investigate further.

Tang Wulin was, after all, a hot-blooded young man, and the thing he looked forward to most each day was dreaming at night.

The female protagonist in my dreams is sometimes my senior sister.

So for the past two years, Tang Wulin has been avoiding Zhang Lexuan and rarely meets or talks to her.

After all, fantasizing about others in your dreams is not a good thing.
