Ji Dong soaked in the river for 10 minutes in one breath. He managed to avoid suffocation by relying on his strong inner breath and magical powers.
Amidst the splashing sounds, he popped his head out of the water and panted heavily. With the help of the suffocating feeling, he gradually calmed down.
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Ji Dong was actually glad that only he and Chen Sixuan came out this time. If there were other companions, the scene before him would have been so embarrassing. However, if he did not leave immediately, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and push Chen Sixuan down.
Self-control was something that varied from person to person. In front of ordinary girls, men would more or less have a certain amount of self-control. However, in front of a top-notch beauty like Chen Sixuan, who was as perfect as an exquisite porcelain, how many people could resist her!
Among men, Ji Dong's self-control was definitely extremely strong. However, don't forget that Chen Sixuan had not only appeared in front of him, but had also started to chase after him. Facing such a beautiful girl who was willing in front of him, if it wasn't for his stubborn love for the flames in his heart, he probably wouldn't have been able to endure it a long time ago. After all, he was still a human, and everyone had seven emotions and six desires.
Jumping out of the river and landing on the shore, Ji Dong was speechless when he saw his wet clothes. He was too impatient just now and jumped into the river without even taking off his clothes. He deserved to be in such a sorry state.
He took off his wet clothes and changed into a new one. He sorted out his emotions and tried his best to calm himself down. He even used all his thoughts on the four years of Flaming Bar to return to normal. Ji Dong's biggest mistake was to underestimate the seductive power of Chen Sixuan's body. He could barely control himself when facing Chen Sixuan, but when their bodies touched, Ji Dong's self-control almost collapsed instantly.
He slowly walked back reluctantly. Ji Dong smiled bitterly in his heart. In order to escape, he had even agreed to something that he should not have agreed to. The following period would be even more difficult. After entering Dongmu Empire, he would have to fulfill his promise with Chen Sixuan.
When Ji Dong returned to Chen Sixuan's side, he was surprised to find that she seemed to have recovered her composure. There was a tranquil smile on her delicate and fair face. She was squatting there, fiddling with some dried branches that she had picked up from the surroundings. She took out some dry food and fruits and placed them beside her. She looked at the firewood in front of her and waited quietly.
Looking at her tranquil expression, Ji Dong's heart trembled again. He hurriedly suppressed his thoughts and lowered his head, not daring to look at her any longer. He bit the tip of his tongue lightly, using the pain to calm his heart. Why was his self-control so weak now?
Ji Dong did not understand. It was not that his self-control had weakened, but it was because Chen Sixuan's position in his heart had become more and more important. She had subtly seeped into his heart like a moisturizer. However, his love for the Flaming Bar was even stronger, so he would never admit that he had any feelings for Chen Sixuan.
Humans were emotional creatures. Time was the foundation of relationships. This saying was not wrong at all. After being together for so long, how could Ji Dong not feel a little moved by Chen Sixuan?
"Teacher Ji Dong, you're back. Light the fire, let's heat up the dry food." Chen Sixuan's pleasant voice rang out. She did not go over to him. From her perspective, she did not want to force Ji Dong too much. She did not want to force him to retaliate. If he refused to return to the Eastern Wood Empire with her, wouldn't that be self-defeating? However, this was in line with the essence of relaxation. Her calmness and indifference had a greater impact on Ji Dong's heart.
Ji Dong sat down opposite Chen Sixuan. With a flick of his fingers, the firewood in front of him was already set ablaze.
This was a rather difficult night for Ji Dong. Fortunately, he could still focus on his cultivation. He did not even say a word to Chen Sixuan for the entire night. In other words, he did not dare to speak to Chen Sixuan for the entire night.
This was the first time in half a year that his cultivation was not effective. It was not only because he had left the Dragon Valley, but more importantly, because he had spent most of his energy on calming his heart.
The Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon returned early the next morning. The two of them set off again. Not long after, they finally entered the territory of the Eastern Wood Empire. They headed straight for the capital, Eastern Wood City.
By evening, Eastern Wood City was already in sight. Only then did Ji Dong let the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon land 20 kilometers away from Eastern Wood City. They could not just fly in like this. The capital of the Eastern Wood Empire was definitely not lacking in powerful cultivators. Of course, with Chen Sixuan's status in the Eastern Wood Empire, it would not be too much trouble even if they flew in.
Maotai and Wuliangye reluctantly returned to the Core of Life. Ji Dong looked into the distance and saw nothing but greenery. The Eastern Wood Empire was indeed famous for its wood character. In terms of environmental protection, it was definitely the best of the five empires.
"Teacher Ji Dong," Chen Sixuan called out softly.
Ji Dong turned his head to look at her and asked, "What is it?"
Chen Sixuan smiled and said, "From now on, I can't call you teacher anymore. I'll just call you by your name. Also, this is how we should be." As she spoke, she took the initiative to hold Ji Dong's hand. Her smooth little hand melted into Ji Dong's broad and slender palm. A feeling of fullness and comfort immediately spread through Chen Sixuan's body. Ji Dong's soul, in particular, could not resist Chen Sixuan's soul at all. It was as if his soul had merged with hers.
Holding Ji Dong's large hand, Chen Sixuan's pretty face revealed a hint of sweetness. She looked up at Ji Dong's seemingly calm and cold face and laughed softly. "Ji Dong, aren't you tired of wearing such a stern face all the time? Why don't you smile a little? We're about to enter Eastern Wood City. From now on, you're my lover. We should at least be a little happier. "
Ji Dong forced a smile. After a day of adjustment, his heart had calmed down a lot. At this moment, they were only holding hands without any further contact, so he could barely calm down his emotions.
"Let's go." Chen Sixuan said with a little excitement. At this moment, she was like a happy elf. She held onto Ji Dong's hand and walked towards Eastern Wood City. She was not anxious at all, nor did she urge her mana to speed up. She just walked leisurely for the distance of 20 kilometers.
Ji Dong did not object. He also needed to adjust his mentality. Since he had already promised Chen Sixuan, he had to help her settle this matter. He told himself in his heart that from now on, he was temporarily Chen Sixuan's boyfriend, and that would be the case until they left Eastern Wood City.
However, this was only to help Chen Sixuan get through this difficult period, so as not to affect the group of Heavenly Stem Saints. Also, it was to get the seventh bottle of wine for the Flaming Bar. He had no other intentions.
Chen Sixuan was enjoying the warmth of the sunset while Ji Dong kept repeating to himself in his heart, "I'm pretending, I'm pretending …"
Time waits for no man. When Ji Dong and the rest arrived at Eastern Wood City, the sky was completely dark, and the city gate was already closed.
"We can only climb over the wall." Chen Sixuan said helplessly. However, she was really happy. Ever since she was reincarnated into this identity, she had never been this happy. She held onto Ji Dong's hand and strolled under the sunset. This feeling was too wonderful. It was as moving as drinking wine.
Ji Dong nodded and tightened his grip on her hand. He spread his wings on his back. To him, climbing over the city wall was a piece of cake.
In just a few breaths, they were already walking on the streets of Eastern Wood City.
At this time, it was early evening and the nightlife had just begun. As the capital of Eastern Wood Empire, Eastern Wood City had no lack of entertainment at night. The streets were even livelier than during the day. Many people who had worked hard for a day were looking for entertainment that could make them happy and relax.
"Sixuan, where are we going now? Are we going back to the palace? "Ji Dong asked.
Chen Sixuan shook her head and said, "It's already so late. I'll bring you back tomorrow morning. Let's find a hotel to stay in tonight."
Ji Dong nodded and said, "That's fine. We'll stay for the night. Where are we going to stay? Lead the way."
Chen Sixuan burst into laughter and said, "Anyway, it's fine as long as we don't stay in the Stupid Rich Hotel."
Hearing this, Ji Dong could not help but smile. Every time he went to the Stupid Rich Hotel, he would run into trouble. He really could not stay there!
What surprised him was that Chen Sixuan did not bring him to a luxurious hotel. Instead, she brought him to a relatively small, single-story hotel to stay.
This hotel did not look big from the outside, but after entering, it was a completely different world. The rows of single-story rooms were a bit like the houses they stayed in at the headquarters of the Stupid Rich Chamber of Commerce. It was just not as luxurious. Vaguely, Ji Dong seemed to smell a faint smell of sulfur. He could not help but frown. Why would there be a smell of sulfur in this hotel?
Chen Sixuan took the key to the room and led Ji Dong to the room that belonged to them. As soon as they entered the room, Ji Dong was stunned because there was only one room. He originally thought that Chen Sixuan would ask for a suite with two rooms like they did in other places. However, there were no two rooms here. There was not even a living room and a bedroom. There was only a room about 30 square meters. On one side of the room was a mattress, and the rest of the room was simply furnished. The only redeeming feature was that it was clean.
While Ji Dong was surprised, his eyes fell on a door inside the room. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that there was another world behind it. There should be another room. He let go of Chen Sixuan's hand, walked over, and opened the door inside.
Chen Sixuan did not stop him because at this time, her pretty face was also flushed, and her heartbeat was constantly speeding up. It was obvious that she had planned to stay in this hotel. It was also one of the steps that she had discussed with Miaomiao. It would also be her first attempt. She did not know whether she could succeed or not. She was just trying her best.
Ji Dong pushed the door inside, and his face suddenly became ugly again. Behind the door was not a room, but a small courtyard. The courtyard was not big, only about 20 square meters. In this 20 square meters, there was a pool of about 10 square meters on one side. He did not know what it was used for. Looking up, he could see the night sky. Obviously, it was not a place to sleep.
"Sixuan, why did you only get one room? This is simply nonsense." Ji Dong walked back to the room and said with slight anger.
Chen Sixuan said, "Ji Dong, we are a couple now. We can't live separately. Otherwise, it will prove to my father that we are already together. It is not difficult for my father and the people over there to find out my whereabouts after I return to Dongmu City. Therefore, we must live in the same room. Teacher Ji Dong, I am a girl, but I am not afraid. What are you afraid of?"
Ji Dong was really afraid. Just the thought of living in the same room made his heart beat faster. His eyes flickered, and Ji Dong said resolutely, "No, absolutely not. I am only pretending to be your boyfriend. I am not real. If you live in the same room with me, how will you marry in the future? I can't ruin your reputation."
Chen Sixuan lowered her head and said lightly, "Ji Dong, do you think that what I said to you before was a joke? Well, I will solemnly repeat it to you now. Other than you, I will not marry anyone else in this life. What does my reputation have to do with me?"
Ji Dong listened to Chen Sixuan's words, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned. For a moment, he couldn't say anything.
Chen Sixuan sighed softly and said, "Ji Dong, I will never make things difficult for you. You can live in the room, and I will live in the small courtyard. That should be fine, right? It's not like we have never slept in the open." As she spoke, she had already walked out.
Ji Dong hurriedly followed her out and said, "Sixuan, it should be me who lives in the courtyard. You can go to the room."
Chen Sixuan thought in her heart, "If I live in the room, how can I carry out the plan?" She looked at Ji Dong and said lightly, "Ji Dong, now there are only two choices for you. I will live outside, and you will live inside, or I will live with you. I only have this small request, you won't agree to it? I am not that weak."
In the face of Chen Sixuan's sudden unyielding attitude, Ji Dong couldn't help but be a little stunned. His brain was spinning quickly, and after carefully weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to retreat to the room. Letting her live outside was much better than the two of them living together. However, letting a girl live in the courtyard, Ji Dong really couldn't bear it.
Opening the curtains, Ji Dong wanted to see how Chen Sixuan lived in the courtyard. In his imagination, Chen Sixuan would at most sit cross-legged and cultivate in the courtyard for a night.
