Ding Hao hesitated for a moment before he stretched out his arm and held Li Lan’s shoulders.
In her drunken words, many mysteries that had puzzled Ding Hao for a long time were finally resolved.
It was no wonder that Ding Hao always felt that Li Lan was a girl.
Especially when he took off Li Lan’s coat trying to heal her in the Sage Battlefield, he noticed that Li Lan’s figure was as delicate as a woman’s. But her flat chest and Adam’s apple were men’s features. It explained everything.
Head Li Jianyi, who was a kind and wise leader, had done such a silly thing, using an arcane trick to hide Li Lan’s female features and making her seem boy-like.
Unfortunately, no matter how magical this trick was, it could not change a person’s biological sex.
For Li Lan, what Li Jianyi had done was selfish and cruel.
But as the head of a sect, he was selfless and noble.
It was at that moment when Ding Hao remembered what Evil Moon, the Fat Cat, had once said. Li Lan had a strong obsession and might not survive the 11th section of the ancient westbound road.
It seemed that Evil Moon was right. She must have been tortured by what she had experienced day and night. It was impossible to defeat her inner demons. If it hadn’t been for the collapse of the Sage Battlefield, Li Lan would never have been able to get out of that ancient road.
But he didn’t know why Li Lan had decided to turn back into a girl after returning to the sect.
Li Lan leaned her head on Ding Hao’s shoulder and continued, “Maybe it is God’s plan. I couldn’t find the exit in that part of the ancient westbound road. In the end, the ancient road collapsed and I returned to the real world only to find everything was different. My father and mother have left this world. When I felt abandoned by the whole world, Instructor Wang Juefeng gave me a letter that changed my life…”
When Li Lan said this, she couldn’t help but burst into tears, choking with sobs.
She would always remember what her father had said in the letter.
He sincerely repented and apologized to her for being an unqualified father.
It was also the first time that Li Lan knew that her father stood crying silently outside her window, when she struggled at night. The pain she had suffered was thousands of times more severe on her parents. Her father had also regretted his decision many times…
In the last period of his life, her father possibly reached a better understanding, all thanks to the precarious situation lived by the sect.
He left the letter, the spell to break the arcane trick, the confession, and his last wish. Her father hoped that she could become a real girl, as he begged to be forgiven for his selfishness.
Li Lan blushed in surprise when she read Li Jianyi’s proposal at the end of the letter.
That day, Li Lan held the letter and burst into tears.
Then, on the second day, Li Lan read the spell from the letter and restored her female body.
That was the moment when Li Lan managed to clearly see the beautiful white figure who had been following her like a ghost since the 11th section of the ancient westbound road. The blurry face turned into one that looked exactly like her own. A faint smile appeared on it.
Just when she gently leaned on Ding Hao’s shoulder, the white figure beamed with the brightest smile it had ever worn. Little by little, she turned into white light in the void and finally merged with Li Lan’s body.
At this moment, the indescribable pressure that had been pressing down on her for so many years finally disappeared.
Before he knew it, Ding Hao tightly held the girl who was sobbing softly beside him.
It was hard to imagine how Li Lan had survived thousands of days and nights under such pressure.
By comparison, he seemed to be much luckier.
Ding Hao gently touched the wine gourd in his hand and gulped down the hot spirits one mouthful at a time.
Gradually, a strange feeling rose from Ding Hao’s abdomen. The liquor went through his body and burned like a flame. He felt like he was losing control of himself: his limbs were floating and his vision became blurred…
“Uh, this liquor is… so strong…”
Ding Hao suddenly felt strange. He fainted and fell into Li Lan’s arms.
A gentle smile appeared on Li Lan’s face.
“Brother Hao, you’re leaving tomorrow. I know I can’t keep you here, so don’t blame me. I’m not Instructor Ximen Qianxue nor the siren Xie Jieyu. I’m not as persistent as Yiruo. I can’t wait for such a long time…”
Li Lan seemed to have sobered up a lot.
She slowly picked Ding Hao up and held him in her arms, turned into a stream of flowing light, and disappeared among the undulating peaks behind the gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.
After an unknown time, Li Lan landed on a green rock mountain.
The peak was steep, rising high into the clouds. Standing at the top, one could see the brightly lit sect gate in the distance. The experts who had come from all over the Snow Province for the mourning service had yet to leave. The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had become the uncrowned king of the Snow Province!
Li Lan took out a thick white fur from her Storage Ring, laid it on the ground, and laid Ding Hao on it.
Li Lan’s exquisite face began to flush when she looked at the handsome man in silence. She bit her red lips with crystal white teeth. Looking determined, she gently untied her dress…
In the past, Li Lan had never thought that she could appear in front of her beloved man as a woman. She had never thought that she would fall in love with a man and worry about him like an ordinary girl. It felt like a dream, a beautiful dream.
It wasn’t difficult for her to make this decision.
It was in her character that she would be as passionate as a ball of fire once she liked a man. She would not hesitate at all to show her affection and determination.
Perhaps it was because of the arcane trick, Li Lan’s body remained unusually delicate. It was so petite and exquisite as if the creator had crafted it with precision. Except for the slightly flat bosom, the rest of her body was soul-stirringly beautiful.
She was bathed in the sliver moonlight as if she had attracted it with her perfect fair-skinned body.
“Brother Hao, you’re leaving soon. You have to leave me something if you don’t even know when you can come back. I don’t have much patience. I really can’t wait for that long, so I have to do something…”
There was a firm and holy look on Li Lan’s face.
She slowly knelt beside Ding Hao and gently took off his clothes with her delicate hands.
Meanwhile, Ding Hao was semi-conscious. He felt light-headed like a drunk person lying in the clouds. There seemed to be a ball of fire burning in his heart and he was eager to push heat out of his body.
He had no idea what was happening to him.
He only felt a delicate fragrance that he had never known before which smelled like something from a legendary fairyland.
Ding Hao instinctively hugged the sweet-scented girl beside him.
“Oh…” Li Lan let out a faint but intoxicating moan. She raised her head, showing a beautiful swanlike neck.
The moon quietly receded into the clouds.
The scattered stars in the sky blinked their eyes with shyness.
The howls of wild beasts could be heard around the mountain.
Everything in the world was utterly beautiful.
Ding Hao had a strange dream. He dreamed that he was floating in the clouds. The warm and moist lake water wrapped him. It was an unprecedented comfortable feeling which was so relaxing that he couldn’t help but let out a long cry…
He didn’t know how much time had passed.
Everything in front of him grew clear.
Ding Hao tried hard to open his eyes and saw a bright starry sky. He could hear beasts roaring. There was something soft underneath him. The wind was blowing. He felt a little cold. He pushed himself up in surprise only to find himself naked…
He intuitively turned his head and saw a delicate jade-like body lying quietly beside him.
The owner of the perfect body pretended to be calm as she said with a smile, “You’re awake.” There was a tinge of panic behind the commanding eyes adorned by curved eyebrows.
Ding Hao gradually calmed down. He thought for a while and slowly came to understand what had happened.
Although he couldn’t drink much, he was above the Primordial realm after all, so it wasn’t that easy for him to get drunk. Why did he lose control of himself immediately after drinking a few mouthfuls from that wine gourd? Was there something in it…?
“Good heavens!”
Ding Hao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He had been bedded by a girl.
He had been bedded.
Bedded by a girl.
He had been seduced and bedded…
The kind of romantic encounter countless men dreamed of, had actually happened to him?
“Are you angry?” Li Lan held her head with one hand while sprawled on the wide fur blanket. She looked at Ding Hao, like a meek Persian cat, and said softly, “Come on, don’t be so serious. I won’t blame you.”
Ding Hao was speechless.
The girl had gone too far. She had seduced him, yet acted as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, Ding Hao was also in a trance. He… could it be that… he was finally no longer a virgin after his time-travel? In this way… Well, he didn’t know whether he should cry or laugh.
