Chapter 78

"Your body must be cold, go and warm up under the covers," Sun Ran said. Seeing that Xiao Qian was about to instinctively refuse, he added, "Don't worry, I respect you as my wife, and I have no intention of dishonoring you."

After saying this, he didn't look at Xiao Qian, and turned around again to stand at the entrance of the Lansi Temple, facing outward to show that he wouldn't peek.

Xiao Qian was very shy, but she walked to the bed filled with 'Yang Qi' and glanced at Sun Ran, finally starting to take off her white clothes.

After a while, she said softly, "Sir, since it has come to this, there's no need to be so formal. You can come in."

Sun Ran firmly refused, "No. Since we have a lifelong commitment, I should respect and love you. If we haven't been married, how can I dishonor you?"

In fact, this was just an excuse. The real reason was that Sun Ran was afraid that if the female player left the game and accused him of virtual molestation, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

But to Xiao Qian, his words meant something else. She saw Sun Ran as a gentleman and felt even more moved. She also felt the warmth of the bed and quickly took off her white clothes, revealing a body that was smooth and radiant, beautiful beyond measure, and then quickly slipped into the bed, leaving only her head exposed.

Seeing that Sun Ran was still standing at the temple entrance, his clothes already half-soaked by the rain, she felt extremely guilty and, suppressing her shyness, said, "Sir, I'm ready, you can come in."

Sun Ran turned around, looked at the scattered white clothes on the ground, and felt relieved, knowing that the most difficult part of the task was now over.

In this temporary mission, he was like a police officer, and the disruptor was the kidnapper. The police feared the kidnapper would harm the hostage, but now that the hostage was saved, he had nothing to worry about.

Chang'e smiled, "I didn't expect you to be so good at deceiving women."

Sun Ran chuckled, "If I'm good, shouldn't I get a raise?"

"Go to hell, you money-grubber!" Chang'e naturally scolded, but then realized that her words sounded flirtatious. Her face turned red, and she quickly looked around. Seeing that the other game administrators were busy with their work and no one was paying attention to her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

What just happened? She had forgotten she was at work, which was really unprofessional.

Sun Ran didn't think much about it, only finding the administrator quite approachable. He asked, "Next, do I just need to kick out the disruptor to complete the task?"

"Yes. Kick out the disruptor and ensure Xiao Qian safely exits the game," Chang'e said.

This seemed completely easy. Sun Ran's face showed a relaxed smile.

His conversation with the game administrator was brief, just a few words. After finishing, he turned to the beautiful female ghost in the bed and said, "Since you have already passed away, why do you still linger in the mortal world?"

Sun Ran felt he should reveal part of the truth. His earlier words were just to get her to take off her clothes; he had no intention of really marrying her, even in the game. If he were to marry, it would be Ke'er.

Now that the clothes were off and the Soul-Extinguishing Spell was gone, he had nothing to worry about.

Xiao Qian was confused and asked in shock, "Why are you saying this, sir?"

She found the man before her seemed somewhat unfamiliar, as if he had changed, completely losing his previous gentleness. This was because Sun Ran had canceled the Moonlight Spell.

Sun Ran smiled, "I had to use some deception to save you from your predicament. Please forgive me."

Xiao Qian already felt something was wrong and was about to put her clothes back on and leave immediately.

"Wait." Sun Ran took a quick step forward, lifted his foot, and a clear light appeared under his foot. With a light 'pu' sound, the clear light spread and turned into white flames, burning the white clothes, which were the Soul-Extinguishing Spell, to ashes.

Level 2 Daoist Spell: Purity. Under the clear sky, all evil retreats!

"You, liar!" Xiao Qian screamed.

She realized she had encountered a strange person. She was both afraid and angry. Afraid that Sun Ran would destroy her, making her soul dissipate; angry that he had been a kind and considerate scholar, showing her affection and care, and now she felt deceived, her love turning to hate.

Just a moment ago, they were making vows of eternal love, but now it had turned to enmity. Oh, the world is full of liars, there are no good people!

She lost control of her emotions, and her voice was loud, waking everyone in the temple.

Sun Ran didn't expect Xiao Qian to react so strongly. He quickly walked to the bed, bent down, and gently patted Xiao Qian's head, casting a Soul-Soothing Spell, and said gently, "Calm down. I won't harm you."

Strangely, with just that gentle pat, Xiao Qian felt her mind become extremely calm, all her杂念 gone. Although she knew this strange person was not good and had just deceived her, she couldn't muster any hatred, but she was still extremely disappointed. She looked at Sun Ran with a sad expression and asked, "Were all your words just now lies?"

Hearing this, Sun Ran was startled, feeling as if he had fallen into a big trouble. This female ghost seemed to... really have fallen for him.

No way? He had only said less than ten sentences. Could ten sentences really win the heart of such a beautiful ghost? Was it that easy?

It couldn't be possible, right?

Sun Ran felt he couldn't push things to the extreme; otherwise, if a woman realized she had been deceived in love, she might become hysterical, leading to unexpected situations.

He shook his head and said tactfully, "Miss, I did have intentions, otherwise I wouldn't have said those words. But I am a hermit..."

Before he could finish, a voice came from the temple.

"Brother, why is there a woman in your bed!" Ke'er's accusation followed, her face unfriendly.

"A Taoist who steals women at night, how hypocritical," said Li Yan of the Jinyiwei.

"Brother Changqing, why is this?" asked Yang Tingyong, the gentleman, who believed Sun Ran must have a reason.

"Let me explain later. Ke'er, protect Lord Yang!" Sun Ran had no time to say more. He walked to the temple entrance, began to manipulate data, and prepared to cast a spell.

The disruptor had already discovered that his Soul-Extinguishing Spell was destroyed and was coming to take revenge.

Since the last demon raid in Hebian County, Sun Ran had always had level 4 magic power, making him very powerful.

Outside the temple, several mounds were rapidly rising, like a dragon buried underground. The sky also became darker, and gusts of cold wind kept rushing into the temple.

A sharp voice came with the wind, "Hand over Xiao Qian! Hand over Xiao Qian!"

Li Yan immediately drew his Xiu Chun Dao and rushed to the entrance, blocking in front of Sun Ran, and shouted, "Who is playing tricks, come out!"

The ground tiles immediately exploded, and a black rope-like object shot out, aiming for Li Yan's face. It was so fast that it made a crackling sound, like thunder, extremely terrifying.

Li Yan was shocked. He had never encountered such a powerful attack in his life. Even the best martial artist in the imperial court was like a child compared to this. In a critical moment, he blocked with his sword and felt an overwhelming force surge, immediately shattering his Xiu Chun Dao and splitting his palm, which was now full of blood.

This was completely beyond his ability to resist!

"My life is over!" was the only thought in his mind.
