"Why the rush? It's not like we're far," Lin Ran said, feeling a bit speechless.
Luo Qingyan's pretty face flushed, and she pouted, "Hmph! If you don't hurry up, with your habit of nuzzling around in my arms, I'll bite off both your heads!"
"You're so reckless because you have that illusion array, aren't you?"
Lin Ran chuckled, "I'm just lying in your arms with nothing to do! I need to find something to occupy myself..."
"Otherwise, it would be too boring."
"It's still early before midnight. How about we take a walk around after we find a place to stay?"
"We've never seen the cherry blossom scenery of Dongying before, have we?"
Luo Qingyan glanced at Lin Ran in her arms, "Heh, you're actually thinking about going out to see the sakura girls, aren't you?"
"Even though it's winter, there should still be plenty of girls in JK uniforms with thigh-highs on the streets."
"Isn't that your type?"
Lin Ran quickly coughed twice, "Not at all, not at all. If you don't want to go, we can just go back and sleep..."
"Or... you could buy a set and wear it for me to see?"
Luo Qingyan tilted her head and immediately delivered a forceful palm strike to Lin Ran, "Go to hell!"
...
Night.
Kyushu Island.
Lin Bin Hotel.
"These sakura people, aside from other things, their accommodations are arranged quite well."
"Look at these little flowers, little plants, and little wine. It truly has atmosphere!"
Lin Ran picked up the sake in the ceramic bowl on the table and took a big gulp, then said contentedly.
"It's not bad, it's just that the food isn't very tasty..."
Luo Qingyan was quite satisfied with the quiet environment, and after nodding, she asked, "By the way, you took that entire whale away, but are all of them really useful?"
Lin Ran smiled, "Mostly..."
"In the Shenwei space, I've already used Amaterasu to remove most of the impurities."
"Now, I've managed to create a lot of good stuff!"
"And some of it is even quite delicious..."
Hearing Lin Ran say this, Luo Qingyan's interest was piqued, "Oh? What is it? Hurry up and show me!"
Lin Ran didn't reply, and directly flung out chunks of black, hard, block-like objects from his soul ring with a "snap."
Looking at the rough, charred appearance of their skins, Luo Qingyan was dumbfounded, "You call this delicious food?"
Lin Ran shook his head, "Why wouldn't I?"
"This is whale jelly! Whale jelly from the eighth-tier Lord-level fierce beast, the Sea-Flipping Demon Whale! It's incredibly nourishing!"
"Quick, eat some, eat some..."
"This stuff is highly beneficial for someone as frail as you."
Luo Qingyan almost bit off her own tongue, "Frail? I'm frail?"
"In terms of physical quality, even if you include high-tier awakeners, I am definitely among the elite!"
"Ouch!"
Before Luo Qingyan could finish speaking, she was suddenly attacked by Lin Ran, who pressed her down onto the table from the side.
Because Lin Ran's move was both swift and fierce, it completely caught Luo Qingyan off guard, and she fell quite hard.
And the table Lin Ran had just put down was filled with sakura sake.
Luo Qingyan's fall directly spilled all the sake on the table, soaking her not-so-thick upper clothing completely, revealing her skin underneath.
Lin Ran lifted Luo Qingyan's beautiful leg from above her side and slung it over his shoulder.
Then he leaned down and gently licked the sake.
Luo Qingyan was immediately flustered and enraged by Lin Ran's combination of moves, and said angrily, "What are you doing! Can't you... can't you be gentle..."
"Mmph!"
Before Luo Qingyan could finish speaking, her mouth was sealed by a black, hard, unknown object.
"Good girl, try this whale jelly and see if it's tasty."
Lin Ran grinned and stuffed the whale jelly into Luo Qingyan's mouth, then used his free hand to pin her arms behind her back.
This was not the end. Because Luo Qingyan's heels were high, her entire body was supported by one leg.
Lin Ran simply kicked her shoe away with his foot.
This way, apart from the half of her body pressed onto the table, Luo Qingyan was suspended in the air.
"Mmmph!"
Luo Qingyan struggled frantically.
Unfortunately, with much less strength than Lin Ran, she couldn't escape his grasp at all.
She wanted to speak, but her mouth was sealed shut by the whale jelly.
Moreover, this greatly increased her physical exertion, causing her perfectly proportioned slender waist to ache and go numb.
Then Luo Qingyan realized that in this awkward position, if she wanted to rest, she could only curl her legs around Lin Ran to gain a support point.
Otherwise, if she remained suspended in the air and unable to exert force, she would eventually go numb and die on this table.
With no other choice, she had to hook the upper leg around Lin Ran's neck and wrap the lower leg around Lin Ran's lower back.
Lin Ran was clearly very satisfied with Luo Qingyan's performance and continued to smile, "Alright, alright, stop struggling..."
"With me here, you can't escape. This is a difference in physical strength."
"Now, do you still think you're frail?"
"Good girl, eat the whale jelly quickly..."
"Otherwise, I won't let go, okay?"
As he spoke, he playfully patted Luo Qingyan's bottom as a warning.
Maintaining this state was a pleasure for Lin Ran, but a torment for Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan felt that if she continued to ache like this, she would eventually go mad, so she reluctantly complied.
One bite, another bite, and another...
Without the help of her hands, Luo Qingyan ate with great difficulty.
During this process, because she had to exert force to move forward, Luo Qingyan could only use her legs to support herself and inch forward.
This was truly a delight for Lin Ran's friction.
When Luo Qingyan finally finished eating the whale jelly in her mouth and cleared her throat, preparing to scold Lin Ran in embarrassment,
She suddenly felt a heat within her lower abdomen, filled with boundless lust, rapidly stripping her of her consciousness.
"Mmph... This... This..."
Luo Qingyan turned her head with difficulty, her eyes dazed, her gaze burning, and looked at Lin Ran behind her.
Lin Ran, I don't know where he got another piece of whale jelly from, swallowed it with a wide open mouth, and looked back with the same gaze.
Then, Luo Qingyan was grabbed by the legs by Lin Ran, flipped over into a position convenient for sprinting, and pulled back a considerable distance.
This time, if she wanted to maintain her balance, she had no choice but to grip the tabletop tightly with her hands – which only worsened the numb sensation.
Subsequently, the tabletop gripped by Luo Qingyan began to shake violently.
The remaining sake on the table flowed down her graceful, swan-like neck, drenching her entire body...
