Chaotic World Book

Chapter 279 - 274: Xuanwu?

Chapter 279: Chapter 274: Xuanwu?They said they were healing, but this time neither side exchanged True Qi.

Before this, all their intimacies could be ascribed to "fighting side by side without minding the little things," "just healing, no need to overthink," "just a small reward for him," and various other pretexts.

They were comrades, she was like a sister... After all, not lovers.

But at this moment, Yue Hongling did not want to deceive herself, and Zhao Changhe felt the same.

After his first confession, "I like you," and he willingly bowed down to kiss her while she was willing to accept, both felt a solemn and serious commitment akin to a rite.

To like is to like; to commit is to commit; some things shouldn’t be utilitarian.

Zhao Changhe could never quite discern whether his special fondness for Yue Hongling was because she embodied the Worldly Society in his heart, or because he liked her as a person.

I see the mountains charming, I suppose the mountains see me the same.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Yue Hongling gently pushed his chest, whispering, "Okay, let’s focus on the important matters."

Zhao Changhe, somewhat reluctant, yet knowing it was not the time for indulgence, asked, "Have you discovered something while staying in Rocky Mountain?"

Yue Hongling replied, "I indeed felt a very strange aura, extremely faint, almost imperceptible. Despite trying to perceive it, I could not sense it clearly, almost like an illusion. I was a bit stubborn, wanting to look more... Later, when my supplies ran out, I wandered around Yellow Sand Market to see if I could find some opportunities, and then I saw the Qiao Family caravan..."

"Seeing a Central Plains caravan here, suddenly got your fire up, didn’t it?"

Yue Hongling smiled, "Anyway, I bumped into a yellow-faced man, I thought he seemed quite fitting to help

What was that? That was Xuanwu!

Was this place related to Xuanwu?

Four Symbols Sect’s Xuanwu had long been in the Northern Border—was it because of this?
