Chapter 919 (2/2)

This was why Tang Wulin had been able to enter the desert with Gu Yuena after making minimal preparations.

They'd be able to travel slightly faster if they were to fly using their suits of battle armor, but without all of the devices on the battle vehicle, it would be very easy for them to lose their way. On top of that, the desert wasn't completely devoid of danger; soul beasts were rare here, but not non-existent.

Due to the lack of valuable resources here, humans had only developed this desert to a very minor extent. As such, the few soul beasts here were able to live leisurely lives free from human influence.

The two of them had a simple meal of dried rations. Ever since he attained his bloodline vortex, Tang Wulin discovered that his appet.i.te had decreased significantly. His bloodline vortex could absorb natural energies from the outside world, so he didn't need to eat an insane amount of food to sustain himself anymore. After the vortex was formed, his bloodline had also been cultivating of its own accord within his body in a subtle manner.

Gu Yue clearly wasn't very interested in the dried rations, but when night completely fell, she suddenly yelled with excitement, ”Father, look! There are so many stars in the sky, and they're so beautiful!”

The desert seemed to be closer to the sky than other places somehow, and it felt as if they could reach out and grab the countless stars hanging in the sky. The bleak and desolate landscape took on a dream-like beauty under the illumination of the starlight.

The two of them sat on the summit of a sand dune, and Gu Yuena rested her head on Tang Wulin's shoulders as her large purple eyes gradually glazed over.

Tang Wulin was also entranced by the sight of the countless stars in the sky while his lover sat by his side. The two of them snuggled up against one another in the completely silent desert.

If only we could sit like this forever.

”Are you cold, Gu Yue?” Tang Wulin spread open his arms and held her in a gentle embrace.

There was a huge disparity between the temperatures in the desert during the night and during the day.

Gu Yuena shook her head in response. ”I'm not cold. This place really is beautiful! Are you cold?”

”Of course not,” Tang Wulin chuckled.

Gu Yuena didn't say anything else, as she continued to lay in his arms, and not long after that, her eyes fell shut as she fell asleep.

Her sleeping face was very beautiful and tranquil. Tang Wulin couldn't help but gently stroke her cheek. He was already beginning to grow accustomed to Gu Yue's new appearance, but he still wanted to know how Gu Yue had become Gu Yuena. Just what kind of connection did Gu Yue and Na'er share?

This question was constantly weighing on his heart, and if he couldn't figure this out, then he couldn't wholeheartedly regard the woman in his arms as his lover.

After sitting for a while longer, Tang Wulin carefully carried Gu Yuena over to the Tang Sect battle vehicle, then opened the car door before pressing a b.u.t.ton to fold down the last two rows of seats. He placed Gu Yuena into the car first before entering the vehicle himself. After closing the door, this became an isolated s.p.a.ce for just the two of them.

He could still see the countless stars in the sky through the car window, and Gu Yuena was sleeping very soundly. Tang Wulin produced a blanket from his storage ring before draping it over the two of them.

He looked at her beautiful sleeping face, and he felt as if his entire heart were melting. He drew her into an embrace again and placed his arm beneath her head as a pillow before closing his eyes with a content look on his face.

In that instant, all of his pressure and pain seemed to be a world away. His entire world consisted only of her, and both of them slept very well that night.

Only after the bright sunlight began to s.h.i.+ne into the car the next morning did they wake up and open their eyes.

Gu Yuena was like a little kitten snuggled up against Tang Wulin's chest, and when he woke up, he discovered that his left arm was still acting as a pillow for her, but his right hand had somehow ended up on her backside.

It was round, smooth, and extremely supple.

His blood essence began to surge downward uncontrollably as a natural morning reaction, and he reflexively drew back a little. However, Gu Yuena immediately gave a displeased whimper as if she'd lost her safe haven. She then pressed herself firmly against him again, and even wound one of her long legs around him in order to lock him in place.
