Upon hearing Wan Qingluan's words, your eyes flash with intense heat

You release Wan Qingluan's small hand, then move your freed hand directly to her soft, slender waist

With a gentle application of force from your hand, Wan Qingluan lets out a surprised gasp as you flip her entire body to lie on top of you

The faint fragrance from Wan Qingluan's body washes over you simultaneously, making your brows relax considerably, your eyes burning even more intensely

Wan Qingluan supports herself with both pale, delicate palms on your chest, her glossy red lips slightly parted as she lifts her small face to look at you with a slightly surprised expression

Wan Qingluan speaks: "I, we seem to be getting a bit inappropriate!"

"We're perfectly appropriate. These are all things good friends can do."

Wan Qingluan nods blankly: "But..."

"But what?"

"But there's something poking me."

"Don't be afraid, it's my flashlight."

"What's a flashlight?"

"For lighting. I'm afraid of the dark, so I always carry a flashlight with me."

Wan Qingluan's eyes dart around: "Can you show me your treasure now?"

"Not yet."

"Why?"

"We haven't finished all the things good friends should do."

"What else is there to do?"

You smile slightly: "This time we really need to go inside to explain properly."

Wan Qingluan: "I think our friendship is becoming somewhat corrupted."

"Whether it's corrupted or not, we'll only know once we're inside."

You hold Wan Qingluan and fly into the sky, heading toward your separate residence

You land outside your room, and the door opens by itself without any wind

Seeing you carrying her into the room, Wan Qingluan quickly says: "The Leader said we shouldn't go to men's rooms at night..."

"Be good, let Leader Yan keep quiet for now."

You step into the room, and you and Wan Qingluan are swallowed by the darkness inside as the door creaks shut automatically

A weak voice comes from inside the room: "Good friend, why aren't you lighting the lamp? Aren't you afraid of the dark?"

You: "I often actively challenge my weaknesses."

Wan Qingluan: "But what you're touching now is my weakness."

You: "That's how it is between good friends."

Wan Qingluan: "Is that so?"

You: "Yes."

Wan Qingluan: "..."

You: "..."

That night, there was thunder, lightning, wind, and rain

Your good friend relationship was greatly enhanced

In the blink of an eye, it was the pleasant next day

Inside the room, Wan Qingluan's tender little face rests on your arm as she blinks her large eyes looking at you

You lie on your side calmly meeting Wan Qingluan's gaze

Wan Qingluan's elegant brows twitch slightly: "Good friend, I feel like you're a bad person."

You: "Only realizing that now?"

Wan Qingluan: "I only confirmed it last night."

"One-time feelings might not be accurate. You need to confirm several more times."

Wan Qingluan: "That makes sense..."

That day, you unusually skipped your morning training

After you and Wan Qingluan got up, you brought her to the small pavilion in the center of the lake in the rear garden

You snack on the refreshments and tea brought by the servants

You speak slowly: "Little Wan, now that our friendship is unbreakable, it's time to show you my big treasure."

Wan Qingluan's small face tightens: "Let's not look today. I want to rest for a couple more days."

You: "?"

Wan Qingluan: "?"

You didn't expect Wan Qingluan to become so suggestive overnight

You clear your throat twice: "Little Wan, I want to show you a proper big treasure."

"Proper ones are acceptable."

"Little Wan, remember those places I took you to?"

"I remember, every single one of them"

You look at Wan Qingluan, your tone mysterious: "Let me tell you a secret."

Wan Qingluan looks confused: "What secret?"

You stand up and walk in front of Wan Qingluan, bending down to cup her face

After gazing at each other for a long time, you say solemnly: "Actually, I knew you in my previous life!"

Wan Qingluan's eyes tremble

But she suddenly blooms into a bright smile and says: "Good friend, thank you!"

Your heart stirs, voice puzzled: "Thank me for what?"

Starlight seems to scatter in Wan Qingluan's eyes: "Thank you for coming to find me in this life too!"

You feel as if struck by lightning: "Is this the power of pure love?! Really, really damn exciting!!"

Before your emotions can settle, Wan Qingluan strikes again: "Good friend, you have to come find me in the next life too~"

You can no longer withstand it, pulling Wan Qingluan tightly into your embrace, wishing you could crush her

After a long time, you release Wan Qingluan

You stop beating around the bush and directly take out the Book of Years: "Do you know why I took you to all those places?"

"No idea~"

You hand the Book of Years to her: "The Book of Years can store people's memories and be read."

You previously erased the memories of Great Qian's successive emperors to avoid dirtying Little Wan's eyes

Now the Book of Years only contains the memory of your first meeting with her in Changfeng City

Wan Qingluan confusedly accepts the Book of Years, looking up at you with puzzled eyes

She clearly didn't expect that aside from the flashlight big treasure, you actually had a real treasure to show her

"Just use true qi to communicate with it," you say.

Wan Qingluan examines the Book of Years for a moment, then places her hand on it, suddenly releasing true qi to establish a connection

Instantly, Wan Qingluan's expression turns astonished as she freezes in place

As seconds and minutes pass, the surprise in Wan Qingluan's eyes grows stronger and stronger

Finally, after Wan Qingluan finishes watching this memory

She abruptly stands up, her beautiful eyes looking at you with shock

She wants to ask you something, but doesn't know where to begin

"I, who are we?!"

"You are you, and I am me. It's just that I will pass through your world again and again."

Wan Qingluan looks moved and asks: "Only you are special?"

"Yes."

"Can you know my future?"

"You ended up living happily ever after with me."

"Every time?"

"Every time."

"But I just saw 'me' wanting to kill you!"

"In the end, you didn't kill me, right? I don't blame you." You smile casually

Wan Qingluan's eyes sparkle with light: "You're quite nice!"

"Not only did you not kill me, but you also gave me martial techniques."

"I saw that~ I'm so well-behaved!"

You smile

Wan Qingluan asks again: "Is there only this one memory?"

"There are many more, and they're divided into regular content and paid content."

"I want to see the paid content! Fast forward to the paid content!!" Wan Qingluan says without hesitation

"Paid content requires inviting a friend to unlock."

"You! I invite you!!"
