Chapter 20: Luoluo Surrenders

Luoluo was right; worrying about her injuries was just an excuse.

In truth, Wang Haoran wanted her too, but unfortunately, his strength didn’t allow it.

The Immaculate Cold Body, one of the rare physiques, not only enhances cultivation progress but also converts one’s Qi into cold energy.

And now, Luoluo was severely injured, so her control over her cold energy wouldn’t be as precise as usual.

The area with the most accumulated cold energy was…

Unthinkable…!

Any crime is bound to be punished!

Thinking about the scene, Wang Haoran couldn’t help but get a little excited, his body trembling.

He didn’t like the ice…!

Either wait for Luoluo to recover fully, or wait until his own strength improved.

Seeing Wang Haoran hesitate, Ning Xueluo grew even more distressed.

“Husband… Luoluo has been training recently… I can control it well now, I won’t hurt you…”

With a resolute look, Ning Xueluo leaned closer to Wang Haoran.

“Just trust me this once…”

Feeling his earlobe being attacked, Wang Haoran couldn’t hold back anymore.

“Alright, bring it on!”

“Activate Impregnable Fort, who’s afraid of whom!”

(tln : bro challenge it)

“Drip-drop, drip-drop…”

After the clock’s hand turned over a hundred times.

The battle ended.

“Husband…”

One party admitted defeat.

(tln : bro lose)

***

While Wang Haoran was holding Luoluo and sleeping peacefully.

In a village far from S City.

In a stilt house, an elderly woman sat by a bed, worriedly watching the unconscious girl lying there.

“Sigh, child, you’ve suffered so much…”

She had no choice.

She was the grand priestess of the village, and Yun Ling’er was the most talented person in the entire village.

To cultivate the strongest Gu King—Love Gu, and revive the ancient Gu art, she had to make Yun Ling’er endure hardship.

Just as the old woman was about to leave, she heard a faint groan.

The girl on the bed slowly opened her eyes.

“Grandmother…”

The old woman quickly sat back down.

“Ling’er, how do you feel?”

“Grandmother, I’m fine!”

“That’s good, that’s good!” the old woman said with relief, but then hesitated.

Yun Ling’er saw the old woman’s concern and smiled, “Grandmother, the Love Gu was successful!”

“Really?!”

The old woman was overjoyed and quickly grabbed Yun Ling’er’s hand to check.

“Really!… But the Love Gu is acting a bit strange… What’s going on… Let me think…”

The old woman thought for a moment but couldn’t figure it out, so she got up to go back and consult the ancient texts.

Yun Ling’er knew that once her grandmother started researching, it would take at least half a month, so she grabbed her hand and whispered in her ear.

“That’s how it is…”

After speaking, Yun Ling’er’s cheeks were flushed, while the old woman looked on in amazement.

But thinking it over, it made sense. For a Love Gu, it had to be related to such things.

“Ling’er, what do you plan to do?”

“Grandmother has helped me so much, I must do my best to complete the Love Spell…”

“Ah, Ling’er, you’re so sensible!” The old woman was very moved, “Ling’er, if you fancy any man in the village, just say the word. Even if he’s unwilling, I’ll bring him to you!”

“Grandmother, what are you saying…”

Yun Ling’er’s face grew even redder, “Actually, I already have someone I like…”

“Who is it?” The old woman’s face lit up with curiosity.

“Someone from outside…”

“From another village?”

“No, from even further outside…”

“Even further?”

“Yes!”

The old woman was puzzled. Further outside would mean the neighboring town of Baicui.

Could it be that Yun Ling’er saw someone she liked while visiting Baicui Town?

Before the old woman could ask, Yun Ling’er continued, “Grandmother, I want to find him… to complete the Love Gu, can I?”

Seeing Yun Ling’er’s pleading look, the old woman’s heart immediately softened, “Of course, you can! If he doesn’t appreciate you, I’ll make him understand!”

After a few more words, the old woman stood up to leave, telling Yun Ling’er to rest well.

After the old woman left, Yun Ling’er heaved a sigh of relief.

To not disappoint her grandmother, she had to complete the Love Gu. But compared to before she fell unconscious, she no longer revered the “Gu King.”

She couldn’t help but recall the memories of the first time loop.

After waking up, the Love Gu in her body seemed strange. Her grandmother’s research revealed that the only way to complete the Love Gu was to make up with a man and cultivate it together.

After much internal struggle, she agreed.

But she still hoped to find someone worthy of entrusting her life to.

So, she foolishly came up with a bad idea—going to Baicui Town, pretending to be a woman forced into prostitution to earn money for her father’s treatment.

Crying her heart out before each client, saying she was coerced and didn’t want to do it.

If the client was indifferent, only wanting her body, she would use Gu art to make them suffer.

If the client was kind and resisted her charms, she would willingly cultivate with him.

Unfortunately, she didn’t know who reported her, and she was caught in a police raid and taken to jail, where she mysteriously died.

Then came the second, third, and fourth times…

By the fifth time loop, she knew the man who had fooled her four times was the same scoundrel who had reported her the first time!

In the fifth loop, she thought the Love Gu would make them happy, even if there were other women, she didn’t mind.

But unexpectedly, the man suddenly revealed his ruthless nature.

Thinking of his words still made her grit her teeth.
