Chapter 313: Do You Like Me?

As Su Jingzhen saw the figure approaching, his heart skipped a beat.It was none other than Luo Yuebai.

But he was a bit puzzled as to why Luo Yuebai would come to his courtyard at this time.

However, he didn’t have time to think about it, as the intense pain in his body made him break out in cold sweat.

It was as if millions of ants were biting every inch of his flesh.

In his opinion, Luo Yuebai would at most tease him a bit, but wouldn’t pose any threat to his life.

Luo Yuebai quickly walked up to Su Jingzhen’s side.

At this moment, she had a faint smile on her face, seemingly taking pleasure in his misfortune.

She squatted down beside Su Jingzhen.

Looking at Su Jingzhen’s pained expression, she laughed and said, “Is this the aftereffect of the ‘Bloodthirst’ technique that Third Grandfather gave you? It seems to be quite painful indeed.”

Luo Yuebai, of course, knew that Shen Yifeng had given Su Jingzhen the ‘Bloodthirst’ technique.

If Su Jingzhen were really in danger, Luo Yuebai would naturally be worried.

However, she knew that this aftereffect would only cause Su Jingzhen physical pain, and wouldn’t have any other serious consequences, so she just wanted to tease him.

But earlier, Su Jingzhen had successfully taken the Phantom Step with the ‘Bloodthirst’ technique, which Luo Yuebai had witnessed.

At this moment, Luo Yuebai’s heart was also filled with shock.

So, as she teased Su Jingzhen, a line of golden text appeared before his eyes.

[Emotional Connection +9]

[Emotional Connection +9]

[Remaining usable points: 205]

These emotional connection points came from Luo Yuebai’s earlier shock.

However, Su Jingzhen naturally misinterpreted this.

He thought that Luo Yuebai saw how painful he was and felt sorry for him.

He thought to himself: Woman, why do you have a knife-like mouth but a heart of tofu?

However when he saw the points increase this time, Su Jingzhen’s heart was filled with endless joy.

Because Luo Yuebai’s points, after reaching the third level ‘Mutual Appreciation’, each increase was now worth nine points.

If this happened a few more times in a day, it would already exceed the daily fixed points.

At this moment, when Su Jingzhen looked at Luo Yuebai, his eyes seemed to hold a hint of eagerness.

If being teased by Luo Yuebai could increase their emotional connection points, then he didn’t mind being teased by her all day.

“You didn’t come here just to laugh at me, did you?” Su Jingzhen asked Luo Yuebai once again.

It was already dusk, and the moon was high in the sky. Su Jingzhen didn’t think Luo Yuebai would come to him just to tease him.

There must be something important that brought Luo Yuebai here so late.

Luo Yuebai’s lips curled into a cold smile as she replied, “I really am here just to mock you. Is that not allowed?”

As she spoke, Luo Yuebai glanced around the room before grabbing Su Jingzhen’s waistband and lifting him up.

She then carried Su Jingzhen into the room and closed the door.

Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat.

In that instant, the intense pain from his aftereffects seemed to weaken slightly.

“W-what are you doing?” Su Jingzhen stammered, his voice trembling slightly.

He was a bit tense, like a virgin boy who was about to be violated.

As Luo Yuebai looked around the familiar room, her face flushed slightly at Su Jingzhen’s words, which seemed to carry a different connotation.

With a sudden movement, Luo Yuebai tossed Su Jingzhen onto the floor.

Su Jingzhen was stunned for a moment. He thought Luo Yuebai would at least put him on the bed.

Before Su Jingzhen could react, Luo Yuebai stepped on his chest.

But Su Jingzhen was completely exhausted at this moment and couldn’t resist at all.

Luo Yuebai looked down at him, her eyes gleaming with intensity.

“Do you like me?” she asked bluntly.

Su Jingzhen’s eyes widened in shock. “Ah?”

Luo Yuebai’s question caught him off guard, and for a moment, he forgot about the intense pain in his body.

From the moment Luo Yuebai had carried him into the room, Su Jingzhen had imagined all sorts of possible scenarios.

But he never expected Luo Yuebai to ask him such a direct question.

As a result, Su Jingzhen was left speechless, his mind a blank.

Luo Yuebai’s face grew even redder, and her foot on Su Jingzhen’s chest pressed down harder.

“Hmm?” Su Jingzhen’s slow response seemed to displease Luo Yuebai.

Despite being the feared female demon lord, Luo Yuebai didn’t have the courage to ask again.

“L-like…” Su Jingzhen stuttered.

In the brief moment before he responded, Su Jingzhen’s mind flashed with various thoughts.

He realized that he actually did like Luo Yuebai.

If not, he wouldn’t have been able to form a shared emotional connection with her.

And who wouldn’t like someone like Luo Yuebai, with her exceptional talents, stunning looks, and high status?

From the moment he gained his cheat ability, Su Jingzhen’s ambition had been to drink the finest wine, romance the most beautiful person, and devour the rarest and most powerful beasts.

Luo Yuebai’s face turned even redder as she heard Su Jingzhen’s response.

Her foot pressed down harder on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

The sudden rush of happiness was almost suffocating.

But in the next moment, a line of golden text flashed before Su Jingzhen’s eyes.

【Mutual Affection level with Luo Yuebai reached: Mutual Affection

Reward points: 60

Level bonus: 4x

Cultivation bonus: 3x】

【Emotional Connection+12】

【Emotional Connection+12】

【Emotional Connection+12】

【Remaining usable points: 301】

Previously in Shen Yifeng’s courtyard, the emotional connection had just been elevated to the third level.

Now, it has suddenly jumped to the fourth level.

And Luo Yuebai came up with another three-hit combo S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The rapid increase in points was almost too sudden to believe.

But the real pain still lingering in his body told him that this was indeed real.

When he said the words “I like you”, their emotional connection level had immediately jumped to the fourth level.

He knew that his system’s emotional connection level was mutual.

And when he said those words, Luo Yuebai’s heart had been stirred.

So, in that instant, she had triggered a triple bonus.

Now that Luo Yuebai had gotten the answer she wanted, she removed her foot from Su Jingzhen’s chest.

Her gaze at Su Jingzhen was now tinged with a hint of gentleness.

“I came to tell you that a group of people from the Spiritual Medicine Sect has arrived in Linjiang City,” she said.

“You might need to take care of them tomorrow. Since Zhao Tianming is under your contract, the Spiritual Medicine Sect is essentially your territory. I won’t interfere.”

She paused, then added, “There’s also other trouble brewing, related to you. You’ll have to handle it yourself.”

With that, Luo Yuebai turned and left, leaving Su Jingzhen still lying on the floor, dazed and staring blankly.
