Chapter 704 - 11: So Strange_3
What did you want me to find out?
Chen Lusi really wanted to ask again.
But they were already on the ground.
Both landed steadily.
"...Alright."
Chen Lusi let go of her slender waist and reminded her.
But Xia Panqiu did not let go, she still held onto him, her small head buried into his neck, took several deep breaths, as if trying to adjust her mindset.
Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment and didn’t urge her.
Finally.
About a minute later.
Xia Panqiu stopped the deep breaths, seeming to have adjusted herself.
But just as Chen Lusi breathed a sigh of relief, Xia Panqiu, perhaps intentionally or unintentionally, suddenly leaned her head forward, her warm, moist, red lips rubbing against Chen Lusi’s neck before taking a step back and letting go of him.
Chen Lusi: "..."
His breathing became more rapid.
Of course, he felt that it was probably not because of Xia Panqiu... but rather due to the side effects of occupying the Kunlun Pantheon.
"Thank you."
After Xia Panqiu distanced herself from Chen Lusi, she slightly lowered her head, brushed her beautiful short hair aside to disguise her expression, and thanked him softly.
"..."
Chen Lusi looked at Xia Panqiu, who was wearing a white T-shirt on top and blue jeans on the bottom. Although her stature was not tall, the tight-fitting jeans perfectly outlined her thigh curves, giving her a girl-next-door vibe.
His expression was somewhat peculiar.
For some reason... he suddenly recalled the girl who awkwardly apologized while wearing white stockings in the past.
If before, he didn’t understand at all.
Now he... faintly sensed something.
But quickly.
Chen Lusi dismissed the thought.
...It just didn’t seem possible.
Thinking this, he turned and walked toward the distant black palace complex: "...It’s nothing, let’s go."
"Okay."
Seeing Chen Lusi turn, Xia Panqiu finally gave up tidying her beautiful short hair, revealing her flushed, oval face, and followed him.
The two advanced in silence.
Xia Panqiu had her hands clasped behind her back, watching the silhouette of Chen Lusi ahead, pursed her red lips, and couldn’t help but silently chide herself.
She truly was the epitome of foolishness.
But she liked him, what could be done.
Even knowing he had a girlfriend, having made much mental preparation, she still liked him.
...Really liked him.
...
The two began walking toward the austere and solemn, entirely black palace complex.
During this time.
Xia Panqiu followed behind Chen Lusi the entire way.
And as she walked alongside Chen Lusi.
Perhaps it was an illusion.
Chen Lusi always felt... her figure had undergone a change, even showing some graceful curves.
...Truly strange.
Chen Lusi couldn’t help but silently marvel.
But soon, he stopped focusing on Xia Panqiu’s changes.
As they approached the palace complex.
Chen Lusi suddenly halted.
Seeing Chen Lusi stop suddenly and frown, Xia Panqiu was puzzled: "What’s wrong?"
"Sarcophagi."
Chen Lusi’s golden eyes reflected the distant palace complex as he said softly, "That’s not a palace... but sarcophagi."
"..."
Hearing this, Xia Panqiu abruptly turned her head to look at the austere and solemn palace complex.
In an instant, a chill ran through her.
Because without Chen Lusi, she might not have realized this even after walking in.
But soon, her attention was drawn to another matter—Chen Lusi’s breathing.
His breathing was already clearly audible.
"Sarcophagi... wait, Chen Lusi, are you sure you’re okay?"
Xia Panqiu looked at Chen Lusi, who hadn’t done anything yet was breathing heavily, with concern written all over her face.
