Of course she was jealous, after all, this was the first time Ling Yun had ever given a betrothal gift, and they weren't even one of their own people, so she was naturally unhappy.
"It's just a betrothal gift; the wedding is a long way off."
Ling Yun's hand moved up her calf and soon lifted the hem of her skirt.
Fang Muqing slid down slowly, and Ling Yun seized the opportunity to strike directly at the heart of the matter.
"Ouch!" she cried, supporting the young man's shoulder. "You heartless bastard, you used so much force, you almost killed me!"
Ling Yun pinched her buttocks, inhaled the fragrance of her hair, and kissed her cheek: "Of course, my favorites are still you guys."
"You might be able to fool that silly girl Bai Xin with that, but I don't believe it."
"Xiao Wu and I didn't do anything last night, do you believe me?"
"Believe it or not, what can I say?" Fang Muqing hugged his head and gently bit his lip. "Anyway, even if she comes, she'll have to be at the back of the line. I'm the third in command!"
The two kissed, and the woman did her best to satisfy him, eventually filling him completely.
She lay languidly on Ling Yun, too lazy to even move a finger, her voice carrying a seductive tone: "Darling, can you bring the ninja girl back for us to see?"
"Should we give her a hard time?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not Xiang Yao..."
"Mu Qing, what bad things have you said about me to Ling Yun this time?"
Xiang Yao pushed open the door and entered, looking at the two of them stuck together. She crossed her arms and said, "I heard that someone had a very enjoyable time last night and didn't come back until almost noon! How was it? Isn't the taste of a woman from Chongying different from others?"
Good heavens, another jealous person has arrived!
Ling Yun put down the giggling Fang Muqing and went forward to hug Xiang Yao.
"That's definitely not as good as our boss's wife."
Xiang Yao's tense face relaxed, but she wasn't particularly willing to "forgive" Ling Yun. She deliberately turned her face away and said, "At least you should have told us in advance. I even got up early today to make some pastries, but you didn't come back."
No wonder Xiang Yao was a little unhappy; it turns out it was because of this.
"where is it?"
"It's all gone, I ate it all!"
"Then I'll just eat you."
Ling Yun sealed her red lips with his. Xiang Yao could no longer maintain her previous demeanor. After being pushed down by Ling Yun, she immediately began to investigate.
Fang Muqing watched the battle for a while and recovered some strength. She got up to busy herself with the medicinal herbs and betrothal gifts.
"husband!"
A short while later, Bai Xin barged in again with Wu Qianyi and Zhou Qiao.
They looked at the young man thrusting on top of the tycoon's wife and exchanged bewildered glances.
"If you guys won't go, I will!"
Bai Xin ran over decisively. Today she was wearing a very youthful school uniform, and her two fair legs were wrapped in white stockings, which would definitely increase Ling Yun's attack speed.
More than an hour later, Ling Yun released all the anger she had accumulated the night before and walked out of the house feeling refreshed.
Ling Shuang was sitting in the living room drinking tea. When she saw him come over, she didn't say much and took out a packet of medicinal herbs.
“These are Chinese medicines that I asked a friend to get. He said they are very helpful for the body. You are also a doctor, so you can adjust the prescription yourself.”
"You care about me that much?"
Ling Yun put his arm around her waist, and the icy CEO leaned into his arms: "I'm your official fiancée, how can I not do this?"
"Do me a favor."
"Go ahead."
"Go and ask around for me, see if you can find a better alchemy furnace."
"You want to refine pills?" Ling Shuang looked at him in surprise.
"Correct."
"Okay, I'll try to find out for you."
"Thank you for your hard work, Second Boss."
A barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of Ling Shuang's lips, quietly spreading across her icy face and softening her overly cold features.
Chapter 210 Abandoned Hospital
"Jiang Chen, save me!"
"Old Liu, quick, grab my hand!"
In an abandoned hospital on the outskirts of the city, a short-haired man tries to grab the hand of another burly man.
The two hands were only 20 centimeters apart, but at this moment, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky!
The burly man's ankle was gripped tightly by a dark, withered hand, and blood was even seeping out.
"Old Liu, let me help you!"
Another man ran over and threw the rope to the burly man.
The burly man grabbed the rope, a look of joy on his face, like a drowning person who had been saved!
The next second, the burly man cried out in pain, then released his grip and was dragged into the endless darkness by the black hand.
"Damn it!"
Jiang Chen slammed his fist into the dusty wall, feeling extremely annoyed.
"Let's go first. Old Liu... he's probably beyond saving."
Hearing his companion's words, Jiang Chen stood up with a gloomy expression.
"Now we only need one more item before we can leave this place." Jiang Chen tried to calm himself down.
A tall woman behind him whispered, "According to the apartment's guide, the dean's notebook should be on the fourth floor, around the corner."
"Although the mission and location will not change, the mission items will vary randomly each time, so we cannot completely rely on the guide."
Jiang Chen calmly analyzed the situation, glancing with lingering fear at the sign on the door of the "**room." The burly man from before had entered it to search for the props, only to be captured by the strange creature inside. By the time he found the real props and returned, it was too late.
The burly man, trusting the guide too much, failed to notice the danger and recklessly rushed in, ultimately losing his life.
As a newcomer who had only passed the Blood Letter Trial once, Jiang Chen's outstanding performance impressed the other residents, and even the building manager had high hopes for him, hoping that Jiang Chen would take over his position in the future.
"Let's go first, no matter what."
The woman looked up at the stairwell, her unease growing stronger.
Her name is Situ Jing. She comes from a low-profile, reclusive family. Although she has no martial arts skills, she has known since childhood that there are many little-known strange things in this world.
She possesses a spiritual sense far beyond that of ordinary people, and can always sense when something strange is approaching in advance, thus avoiding falling into danger.
That's why she was able to stand out in the notoriously difficult beginner level, "The Silent Voice," and become the first newcomer to survive.
The higher the difficulty, the better the reward after completion, but the lower the survival rate; risk and opportunity coexist.
Fortunately, someone had already cleared this level and written a detailed walkthrough, which allowed them to avoid many dangers.
The three survivors headed towards the stairwell. There was still an hour until midnight, and in theory, they should be able to pass this test.
Their footsteps sounded extremely muffled in the empty and quiet corridor, and Jiang Chen quickly realized something was wrong.
There were only three of them left, but the footsteps they were hearing now were far beyond what three people could make!
The corridor was pitch black, and the moonlight outside the window was also shrouded in shadow, making it impossible for Jiang Chen to see who the people around him were.
"Miss Situ."
"What is it?" Situ Jing stopped in his tracks, somewhat puzzled.
"A talented person?"
"Huh?" Wang Juncai was also taken aback.
Jiang Chen identified the figures based on their voices, but his heart was in his throat.
Because behind them stood another dark figure!
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, but he still managed to control his voice and asked as calmly as possible, "Old Liu?"
"I'm here."
When that voice came out, the hairs on the heads of the three living people stood on end!
"Run!" Jiang Chen shouted angrily and took the lead in running towards the fourth floor.
Wang Juncai and Situ Jing immediately followed.
Unfortunately, women are generally slower than men, and Situ Jing was quickly left behind.
"Waaaah, why are you running away? Weren't we companions who came together?"
Situ Jing felt a chill run down her spine because she sensed that "Old Liu" was about to grab her!
Just then, the ancestral jade pendant emitted a faint light.
"what!"
Screams came from behind him. Situ Jing didn't dare to turn around. He rushed up to the fourth floor and slammed the door shut behind him.
One of the rules of the abandoned hospital is the eerie existence of each floor, where one cannot exceed the limits of the current floor.
The room was on the third floor. Although the hospital was very tall, Lao Liu's eerie transformation ultimately failed to harm the survivors on the fourth floor.
After closing the door, Situ Jing glared at the two smirking men.
Just now, in such a dangerous situation, those two grown men ran away without saying a word, without even glancing at me.
Although they were just companions going through the trials together and not really close friends, having more people meant having more strength when facing the dangerous Blood Letter Trial, not to mention that Jiang Chen had promised before coming that he would never abandon his companions.
"The situation was urgent just now..."
"Alright, let's hurry up and find the last item to leave, we don't have much time left."
Jiang Chen felt somewhat apologetic towards her. It had been too dangerous just now, and his survival instinct had overcome everything, preventing him from thinking too much about it.
Sigh, it seems the trust we've worked so hard to build is about to crumble again.
He walked ahead in frustration, and after only a few steps, he arrived at the dean's office.
The guide states that the dean's notebook is in his drawer, which is locked, and the key is hidden under a vase.
Although some survivors have verified this through their own experiences, Jiang Chen still did not let his guard down, learning from Lao Liu's example.
He slowly pushed open the door. The furnishings inside were completely different from the dilapidated hospital. It looked as if someone had carefully cleaned it, and it was spotless.
He pressed the light behind the door, and the soft light came on, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
But it was precisely this heartwarming scene that chilled the hearts of the three.
Situ Jing frowned. She didn't feel any discomfort here, which meant it should be safe inside.
Jiang Chen turned to look at him, as if asking something.
"Go inside, it should be fine."
If Situ Jing said it's nothing, then it should be fine.
Jiang Chen mustered his courage and went inside. Sure enough, he found the key under the vase and used it to open the drawer.
The dean's notebook lay there quietly.
Jiang Chen picked it up, turned to the title page, and a few lines of text came into view:
[There's not much I can do. But with this notebook, I can guarantee you'll leave the hospital safely within ten minutes.]
"Do you still have the props on you?" Jiang Chen suddenly looked up.
"exist!"
Wang Juncai pulled a dirty rag doll from his pocket, and Jiang Chen simultaneously showed off his yellowed medical record.
"Walk."
Jiang Chen gripped his notebook tightly and turned around first.
