The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity-Chapter 453 - 451: Just Wanted a Kiss, But Then...

The phoenix eyes tinted a darker hue, their coldness betraying a trace of hidden depth. He could smell the ethereal fragrance emanating from her, and her lips were so close—temptingly close—like delicate petals begging to be tasted.

Zhaozhao met Chu Yan’s gaze and couldn’t help but falter for a moment.

The danger in his eyes resembled that of a wild beast fixating on its prey, inexplicably sending shivers down her spine, instinctively wanting to distance herself from him.

Zhaozhao let go of her arms, preparing to rise.

But Chu Yan promptly reached out and gripped her slender waist, his voice low and deep, "What are you doing?"

"I..." Zhaozhao bit her lip, "Why do you insist on sleeping on the couch? I’m not used to it anymore."

"Oh? And what are you used to?"

"..."

Her radiant cheeks flushed with a thin spread of red.

He chuckled lightly, then pressed her down onto the couch.

A warm breath caressed the side of her ear, "Zhaozhao, so you like this sort of thing."

"I don’t, stop mess—" she tried to protest.

But her words were cut short as he kissed her.

Dingling ling.

The abrupt ring of her cell phone.

Chu Yan reached for the phone, and Zhaozhao seized the chance to try and escape.

He stretched out a hand to hold her neck and firmly pushed her back onto the couch, giving her a warning glare.

"Don’t move."

Chu Yan wasn’t using much strength; Zhaozhao could easily push him away.

As for the consequences of pushing him away, she didn’t know.

"What is it?"

Xu Biqing’s voice came from the other end, "Come over to my place tonight."

She wanted to test whether the mother-child Gu was effective.

"No time."

He dropped these two icy words and hung up the phone.

Turning his eyes back to Zhaozhao, he saw her removing his hand and sneakily attempting to roll off the couch.

Chu Yan directly scooped her back, trapping her in the narrow corner of the couch, his eyes dark and brooding, "You took the initiative, and now you dare to run?"

"I, I just wanted to kiss you," Zhaozhao said, though somewhat lacking confidence.

She did want to find out if anything was wrong with Chu Yan’s body, but she didn’t dare to provoke him.

If there was no issue, she would be the one to suffer in the end.

Thus, as the moment approached, she began to recoil.

"Kissing me comes with a price."

It wasn’t that Chu Yan didn’t want to touch her; he was desperately restraining himself, not wanting to annoy her as he had in his previous life, causing her to despise him.

But he didn’t expect Zhaozhao to take the initiative to kiss him.

And to complain that he wasn’t sleeping with her.

Since she had presented herself to him, why would he let her go?

Throughout the lengthy afternoon, Chu Yan made sure Zhaozhao understood that not only was there nothing wrong with his body, but it was also in very good shape.

-

At the Lu Family.

After being rejected by Chu Yan, Xu Biqing’s face turned sour.

"Why isn’t it working?"

She stared at her phone for a while, then retrieved the porcelain bottle that had contained the mother-child Gu.

"Could I have been deceived?"

The thought of having swallowed a venom bug made Xu Biqing shudder with disgust.

Frustrated, she hurled the porcelain bottle onto the ground.

After the bottle shattered, Xu Biqing discovered a black venom bug inside.

It was the Child Gu from the mother-child Gu.

Why was the Child Gu that Chu Yan was supposed to consume still in the bottle?

Xu Biqing had personally dropped the venom bug into the soup that day.

She was sure the bug had dissolved into the soup.

Today’s call to Chu Yan was to test the effect of the mother-child Gu.

But Chu Yan had rejected her request, and the Child Gu reappeared in the broken bottle.

A whirlwind of confusion swept through Xu Biqing’s heart.

After the porcelain vase broke, because Xu Biqing’s body had the female venom bug, the Child Gu lay on the floor and did not run around.

After Chu Yan regained his memory, the cultivation in his body was gradually recovering as well, so the Child Gu sensed the danger and actively fled his body.

Once the Child Gu had left its host, it could naturally only return to the side of the female venom bug.

Xu Biqing hesitated for a bit, then took a piece of tissue and picked up the Child Gu.

"Bi Qing."

Lu Tingming’s voice came from the door.

Xu Biqing saw the cup on the study desk and directly threw the Child Gu into it.

She hadn’t expected the Mother-child Gu to be useless, wasn’t Lu Tingming just tricking her into eating bugs?

So she put the Child Gu into Lu Tingming’s teacup, letting him experience what it felt like to eat bugs too.

Before long, Lu Tingming walked in.

"What broke?"

Seeing the porcelain vase fragments on the ground, he asked.

"That vase holding the venom bug broke; the bug is completely useless."

Xu Biqing told Lu Tingming about the phone call she had just made.

"It’s possible that the venom bug hasn’t taken effect yet, why don’t you wait a few more days and try again?"

Although he said this, Lu Tingming felt somewhat relieved in his heart that he hadn’t rashly eaten this venom bug.

Who knows if this venom bug is really as the Black Robed Man said?

Perhaps both the Child Gu and the female venom bug are harmful?

Lu Tingming sat down at the study desk, narrowing his eyes, with calculations flashing through them.

He unwittingly picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea inside.

Xu Biqing watched his action, a cold smile on her lips.

"If it’s useless, then it’s useless. I will find another way to avenge Zhiheng."

"Don’t be reckless."

Lu Tingming frowned slightly, obviously not wanting her to do that.

"If anything happens to Chu Yan suddenly, it would have a huge impact on the hospital and the company."

"Haven’t you made enough money already! Our son is gone, what do we need all that money for?"

Lu Tingming sighed, "Although the one who is dead is gone, the living still have to go on with their lives. We still have Zhixing; we need to plan well for the future."

Xu Biqing remained silent but felt in her heart that Lu Tingming was protecting Chu Yan.

She really wished the Mother-child Gu was effective; she wouldn’t need to control Chu Yan, that little bastard—if she could control Lu Tingming, that ingrate, it would be enough.

Hadn’t Lu Tingming achieved what he had today with her and the Xu Family’s help?

As a result, now that he had power and influence, he was becoming increasingly alienated from her!

Their own son was dead, yet he could remain indifferent!

Xu Biqing turned and left the study.

Lu Tingming couldn’t help but say to her again, "Listen to me, don’t act rashly. Once the hospital and company don’t need Chu Yan, I will give you and Zhiheng an explanation."

Xu Biqing didn’t heed him.

Lu Tingming sighed again, feeling that recently there had been more and more troubles.

He took the teacup and drank all the tea inside it.

-

In the home of Qin Zhao and Chu Yan, both the living room and bedroom were in disarray.

Clothes from both of them littered the floor.

Qin Zhao’s silk nightgown was torn to shreds.

In the dim bedroom, he called her name over and over.

"Zhaozhao."

"Zhaozhao."

His voice was laden with deep affection and obsession.

"You said you liked me."

Chu Yan’s nose was pressed against hers, his eyes staring intently at her, seeming a little moist.

She said softly, "Mhm, I like you."

Chu Yan suddenly felt an urge to cry, as if he were dreaming.

If it was a dream, he wanted to never wake up.

"Say it again."

He clung to her, making her repeat over and over again that she liked him.

"Chu Yan, will you ever be satisfied?"

After a while, Qin Zhao became impatient.

She suddenly thought it was quite good that he slept in the living room every day!
