Chapter 480 - 316: A Test from the Church Court
"Ah! If you don’t want to, just forget it..."
Audrey closed her eyes and waited for a while.
But she never got a response from Lin Lang.
So she started to panic—
Wondering if her request was a bit too much!
Did she come off as too greedy?
If that’s the case, would Lin Lang not like her anymore?
However!
When she opened her eyes, full of unease.
She saw Lin Lang’s gaze filled with undeniable tenderness and determination!
"Don’t even mention two gold coins a day... Be my woman, and you’ll never lack for gold coins again!"
Lin Lang’s tone was so casual, like he was joking.
But his demeanor was incredibly serious!
Audrey’s heart skipped a beat—
Even though she knew Lin Lang was just kidding.
But somehow, she couldn’t help but choose to trust him!
Men!
Your damn charm!
At this moment!
Lin Lang moved a bit closer, holding Audrey’s small hand, and asked:
"Will you be my woman?"
"What woman..."
Audrey turned her head slightly in shyness, but whispered:
"That’s called a lover..."
Lin Lang smiled and leaned in for a kiss!
But Audrey suddenly turned her head to dodge, then pouted and said:
"Then I’ll take it as you agreed to give me two gold coins every day!"
Lin Lang was speechless for a moment:
"..."
Calling her greedy!
In a city where even a cup of coffee costs ten gold coins, she was willing to be his lover for just two coins!
But saying she wasn’t greedy!
In such a moment, all she could think about was gold coins!
Lin Lang was both amused and exasperated!
He spread his big hand, taking out a few hundred gold coins from his space—
This was all he had saved since arriving in Phantom Star City!
He placed the pile of gold coins on the table.
He said to Audrey:
"I don’t know how many gold coins are here, but they’re all yours!"
Seeing so many gold coins!
Audrey’s eyes lit up instantly!
Then!
She pounced over!
Quickly counting the pile of gold coins!
Speaking rapidly:
"There are two hundred and sixty-three gold coins here in total!"
"So I can be your lover for one hundred and thirty-one and a half days!"
"Remember to pay on time when the time comes!"
After saying that!
She gleefully put all the gold coins into her little vault!
Lin Lang:
"..."
He could only wait patiently.
Audrey hid her little vault right in front of Lin Lang.
She let out a sigh of relief!
Then Lin Lang smiled at her:
"So, can I kiss you now?"
Audrey, in a great mood, replied instinctively:
"Ah! Since you’re my lover now, you can do anything..."
Before she finished speaking!
She regretted it!
But it was too late—
Lin Lang stepped forward, clasping her small hands in his.
"Can I really do anything?"
When Audrey’s fingertips touched Lin Lang’s palm, a jolt shot through her heart.
Her face turned bright red, like a ripe tomato.
"Of course, you can’t do anything too excessive!"
She lowered her eyes in panic, not daring to meet Lin Lang’s intense gaze, her long lashes quivering like butterfly wings.
Lin Lang curiously asked:
"Then what would be considered too excessive?"
Audrey thought for a moment:
"For example, asking me to give the money back is really excessive!"
"..."
Lin Lang sighed in his heart but still said:
"Don’t worry, I’ll give you lots and lots of gold coins in the future. So much you won’t believe it!"
"Hmm... Promise me you’ll follow through!"
Looking up at Lin Lang, Audrey’s eyes were full of shyness and anticipation.
Lin Lang gently took a step forward and held her face tenderly, moving in closer.
Audrey’s breathing grew rapid, and her chest heaved slightly.
She instinctively closed her eyes.
Her lips slightly puckered, her face full of tension and bashfulness...
Until!
Their lips touched gently!
Audrey’s body instantly tensed up!
But then she gradually relaxed.
Her hands unconsciously clutched Lin Lang’s shirt, as if it were her only anchor at this moment.
Her mind couldn’t stop replaying:
How she met Lin Lang;
How she brought him home;
Then found him a job, and how they lived together...
And that first kiss.
The small cabin filled with warmth.
Audrey felt Lin Lang’s heartbeat and body heat.
She whispered softly:
"I... I never thought it would be like this, it feels so unreal."
Her voice was soft, tinged with a slight tremble from nervousness.
Lin Lang gently stroked her hair and whispered in her ear:
"Whether it’s reality or a dream, don’t squander this moment."
"Mm..."
Audrey nodded gently, responding to Lin Lang.
The room was filled with a cozy atmosphere.
Soft light bathed their bodies.
Bearing witness to how they became the most important and closest people in each other’s lives!
...
After a long while!
In the Cultivation Space!
Lin Lang was undergoing the twenty-first physical body enhancement!
His whole body was enveloped in a strange light—
Within the light!
Energy surged and clashed like roaring tides, making crackling sounds!
It was unknown how much time had passed!
That layer of light gradually dissipated.
Lin Lang slowly opened his eyes, in them golden light flickering:
"Law of Cause and Effect!"
In his vision!
Everything around became hazy and illusory!
Only shimmering threads intertwined to form a huge and complex web!
Lin Lang looked carefully!
He found that these threads all originated from himself!
