Chapter 185 Embers of Affection

As time swiftly passed, the dark night gradually surrendered to the morning sun, its brilliance still veiled on the horizon.

On the bed, Long Tian opened his eyes, greeted by the lingering warmth of Li Yue'er's embrace.

"Good morning, Long Tian," Li Yue'er greeted, a warm smile gracing her face.

Still in the grasp of drowsiness, Long Tian smiled, "You seem quite enthusiastic today," he remarked.

"Well, today marks the selection for participation in the annual survival competition of the Han Empire. I'm genuinely excited about it," Li Yue'er responded.

"Is that so? Well, for me, I never really pondered it since passing is a certainty," Long Tian said with a confident grin.

"Yeah, for a genius like you, it's hardly a competition anymore. But for me, there are individuals who are on par or even surpass me, like Liu Qian," Li Yue'er expressed.

Long Tian remained silent, the name Liu Qian triggering a reminder to meet Liu Hai regarding the recently acquired purple flame.

"And about her... Did you two share a romantic history?" Li Yue'er suddenly inquired.

"Well, she's been a childhood friend, and we did share some intimate moments," Long Tian responded, a grin gracing his face.

Li Yue'er's expression soured. "So, who would perform better in bed?" she asked, a competitive edge in her tone.

"I can't say. Perhaps, if the three of us were to engage, I could better judge the prowess," Long Tian replied, his grin widening.

In response, Li Yue'er shot him a cynical look, "You're quite the pervert."

"I prefer the term 'experienced,'" Long Tian grinned.

Li Yue'er merely snorted at his response.

"But honestly, Yue'er, aren't you bothered by this conversation?" Long Tian suddenly questioned.

After a few moments, his breath ceased, and Long Tian descended to the ground. He breathed heavily, beads of sweat streaming down from his face to his body.

Yet, a satisfied grin adorned his face.

"Not bad, not bad at all!" he said with a grin.

What he had just attempted was a training method involving thousands of stars, with the sun as the primary medium. Given the sun's status as a star and its proximity, it provided a substantial power boost, even granting him the ability to float for a brief period.

After a few minutes of catching his breath, Long Tian stood up once again. His focus shifted to the aftermath of his experiment, revealing that much of the backyard grass had succumbed to the flames.

"Sigh, looks like I need to buy new grass," he murmured.

Having stood there for a few moments, he then returned inside the villa for another shower.

--------

As time relentlessly advanced, the sun began to cast its comforting warmth through the gentle embrace of its rays.

In this particular moment, Long Tian leisurely ambled toward his sleek, black car. His attire featured a stylish black shirt paired seamlessly with long, matching black pants.

Upon entering, he promptly ignited the engine and set off from the villa premises.

Today, he aimed to verify something. And his destination: Liu Qian's residence.

----------

Over 20 minutes had elapsed. In this moment, an opulent black car came to a halt right in front of a grand, expansive residence.

Long Tian was at the wheel. Observing that the gate was open, he smoothly maneuvered his car inside, parking it near the front garden—a space generous enough to hold at least six cars.

He powered down the engine and stepped out of the car.

Just as he was about to proceed, a soft voice resonated, "Long Tian, what brings you here?"

Long Tian swiftly turned toward the source, only to discover a stunning blonde-haired girl, none other than Liu Qian, tending to the plants, her voice echoing in the air.
