CHAPTER 328: CHAPTER 328: YOUR INTENTIONS BACK THEN WERE FAR FROM INNOCENT

Moreover, his foot didn’t even touch the Cloud Ladder. Underneath him, there was a small sword formed by Spiritual Energy.

Xiao Jinsheng realized: "You’re not climbing at all; you’re Sword Flying!"

"Isn’t Sword Flight very common among Cultivators?" Lou Yan Zhi replied with a smile.

He also sped up and quickly charged onto the first Cloud Platform.

Caicai angrily cursed: "Shameless Lou Yan Zhi, actually cheating."

"It’s not really cheating." Xiao Jinsheng shook her head.

After all, in her competition with Lou Yan Zhi, there was no rule prohibiting the use of Lou Yan Zhi’s unique Spiritual Energy.

"Since he’s using Spiritual Energy, then don’t blame me." Xiao Jinsheng narrowed her eyes.

Soon, Que Zelian caught up and went to the Cloud Platform with Xiao Jinsheng.

Lou Yan Zhi, who took an unconventional route, had already reached the Cloud Platform ahead.

The first Cloud Platform wasn’t as dangerous as he had imagined.

At the edge of the platform, targets of different sizes were flowing.

Shooting different targets could earn different points.

The smaller the target, the higher the points.

Similarly, points can be exchanged on the first Cloud Platform for items to assist in climbing the Cloud Ladder. Each item costs a fixed 10 points and there is no limit to exchanges.

The number of targets is limited; once a target is hit by a person, there’s one less target for the next person to earn points from.

The exchanged item will be bound to the exchanger and can only be used by them.

Lou Yan Zhi chose a longbow from a pile of ranged weapons.

Looking at the Cloud World system prompt, there were currently 100 targets left, with a total of 490 points available to be obtained altogether.

Lou Yan Zhi glanced down at the clouds.

Even though he couldn’t see the situation of the people below.

But looking at these points, he couldn’t help but smile.

Combining the rules with what he saw Xiang Cunli go through not long ago.

He roughly understood what data the Cloud World used to calculate the value of each person.

Thinking of this, Lou Yan Zhi drew the bow and arrow.

The arrow shot out like lightning.

Right in the center of a target with a diameter of half a centimeter.

Earned ten points, Lou Yan Zhi put down the bow and arrow, and started selecting items he could exchange for.

In a dilemma between choosing a flying cloak and a Cloud Platform transmission item, Xiao Jinsheng and Que Zelian arrived at the Cloud Platform.

He held the cloak and the Cloud Platform transmission and showed them to Xiao Jinsheng: "Only one of each item left."

"There are still 480 points worth of targets to shoot." Xiao Jinsheng quickly reviewed the rules, choosing a gun and pondering.

Lou Yan Zhi watched her silently, smiling, without offering any reminder.

Just then from beside Xiao Jinsheng, a gunshot was heard, Que Zelian precisely hit a 10-point target and put down the gun.

"The Cloud World tests above-ground and undercover differently." Xiao Jinsheng muttered.

She fired a shot herself but only earned 10 points.

"Which one do you want?" Lou Yan Zhi asked Xiao Jinsheng, one hand holding the cloak and the other the Cloud Platform transmission.

Before Xiao Jinsheng could choose, he passed the cloak to her first: "You bind the cloak."

"I arrived first, I’m using the Cloud Platform transmission." He finished saying, showing a smug smile: "This way, I’ll be the first to reach the next level again."

"Huh?" Xiao Jinsheng speechlessly accepted the cloak.

Lou Yan Zhi briskly activated the Cloud Platform transmission, disappearing from her and Que Zelian’s sight.

"Why do I feel he’s been acting strange lately?" Xiao Jinsheng held the cloak puzzledly, raising her eyes to Que Zelian.

"Hmm, he is a bit off." Que Zelian took the cloak from her hand, smilingly asked: "It’s a good item; it can protect against the wind."

"I can feel the wind getting stronger on the Cloud Ladder leading to the second Cloud Platform."

"Xiao Jin, shall I tie it for you?"

Xiao Jinsheng smiled and moved closer to Que Zelian.

As the distance shortened, it became easier for Que Zelian to help her fasten the cloak.

Thinking of the cloak in her hand and who had made the choice for Xiao Jinsheng first.

Que Zelian’s radiant eyes darkened.

Once he looked up at Xiao Jinsheng, his gentle smile returned to its usual.

Wearing the cloak, Xiao Jinsheng immediately felt her body become much lighter under its effect.

She spun around in front of Que Zelian, extending her arms to him: "Well-tied, Que Zelian!"

"Hmm?" Que Zelian laughed and asked: "Xiao Jin, what should you call me?"

"Que Liyi." Xiao Jinsheng giggled, intentionally teasing him.

"I prefer you calling me something else." Que Zelian bent down closer, lifting his hands to rest on her lower back, pulling her tightly into his arms.

He leaned over, his gaze intense.

His finger lightly brushed over Xiao Jinsheng’s moist lips: "If you can’t remember what you called me before, I’d be happy to help Xiao Jin recall."

Then he forcefully lowered his head, and with the person in his thoughts, he directly kissed her.

"Mm... Que..." Xiao Jinsheng’s fragmented words were swallowed by the kiss.

Only after the lingering kiss ended did she get a chance to speak.

Lifting her head, she met Que Zelian’s resentful gaze.

Even a rare hint of aggression on his person.

Knowing Que Zelian has always been generous on the surface.

But Xiao Jinsheng also understood, as the first Beast Husband intimately close to her.

He too would feel wronged and expect her to turn back... to pay more attention to him.

"Little Que is angry too." Xiao Jinsheng laughed, reaching out her hand, palm pressed against Que Zelian’s cheek.

"Can I never get angry?" Que Zelian raised his hand, firmly gripping her wrist, pulling her hand, sliding it from his cheek to his throat, finally to his collarbone.

Here, the Cloud Bird Totem belonging to both of them was beating brightly.

"We’ve reconciled after our cold war." Que Zelian said aggrievedly: "But the people around you keep increasing."

Chen Yunji and Xuan Jiu were chosen by him and Huaiqing themselves for Xiao Jinsheng.

Ying, being a Dark Soul, truly counting, was also one of the five original Beast Husbands, Que Zelian had nothing to say.

But now...

The electrifying Lou Yan Zhi!

Who appeared just as unreliable as Caicai.

Yet he lingered on Mist Continent, circling around Xiao Jinsheng.

Though many times, it was due to unexpected circumstances.

But everyone was an adult.

How could Que Zelian miss Lou Yan Zhi’s little thoughts?

At this moment, he hoped his judgment was wrong, that he misunderstood Lou Yan Zhi.

Then there’s Xiao Jinsheng.

Really treating him as Long Aotian, preparing for a showdown between Feng Aotian and Long Aotian.

But Xiao Jinsheng found joy in the competition, Que Zelian couldn’t bear to stop her.

All he could do now was learn from others.

Actively take Xiao Jinsheng’s hand, lead it up under his shirt.

Feeling the hot, smooth and supple abdominal muscles in her palm.

Though she often touched these abs, now Que Zelian was the one leading her to touch them.

Xiao Jinsheng’s eyes suddenly sparkled brightly.

"Do you remember..." Que Zelian chuckled, drawing closer: "When you first entered Mist Continent, Mo Jiao scared you with a limping Zombie."

"You were hugging me, your mind definitely not pure."

"Cough, cough!" Xiao Jinsheng’s blush instantly turned pale.

Just hearing Mo Jiao’s cold voice lingering from behind, his violet gaze warned Que Zelian: "Why involve me in your nostalgic moments with her?"

"Birds have the trickiest hearts." Li quickly approached and cast a cold glance at Huaiqing: "Sheep hearts are dirty too."

Finally looking at Shi Xie, hurriedly adding: "Fish hearts are even dirtier."

Looking towards Xuan Jiu, Li found himself unable to finish: "Fox hearts are the dirtiest."
