Chapter 36: The Charming Tang Yue

"See that? That's the sports car I've always dreamed of. How can a Lamborghini compare to the elegance of a white celestial steed?"

"Honey, I want to go shopping on a celestial steed like those couples. Can you buy one for me too?"

"Who are these couples flaunting their love on the streets? I've finally become single, only to be fed dog food unexpectedly."

"Wow, young people these days are so adventurous. They can even come up with such thrilling dates. I must try it with my wife next time."

…

Ding Yumian, sitting on the celestial steed with Qin Chen, blushed deeply as she noticed the many people below looking at them and whispering. Embarrassed, she held tightly onto the steed's mane, lowering her head until it touched her chest.

Qin Chen, on the other hand, was different. He held his head high, accepting all the gazes, praise, and scorn without being affected by the gossip. He even subtly placed his hand on Ding Yumian's slender waist. Distracted, Ding Yumian didn't notice Qin Chen's actions. It wasn't until they had passed through the bustling street that she realized he had been taking liberties with her the entire time without her noticing!

"Cough, cough, it was unintentional. I was just afraid you'd fall off," Qin Chen said with a cough when caught, remaining completely unembarrassed.

"Let go of your hand!" Ding Yumian demanded, her face red with anger and embarrassment.

"Celestial steed, speed up!" Qin Chen ignored her and urged the steed to accelerate.

"Ahhh!!!"

The sudden speed increase caused Ding Yumian to fall into Qin Chen's arms again. This time, when she tried to sit up, she found it impossible. The steed's speed was too fast, and the inertia and wind pressure forced her body backward, making it impossible to sit upright.

Moreover, the celestial steed's wings spread out, soaring into the sky, hundreds of meters above the ground. Experiencing such height for the first time, Ding Yumian instinctively sought support. Both mentally and physically, she didn't want to leave the safe and reliable embrace.

After the initial discomfort, Ding Yumian stopped resisting and began to enjoy the beautiful sky and the bustling crowd below. They sat quietly on the celestial steed, appreciating the scenery in a serene and beautiful atmosphere. Qin Chen did nothing inappropriate, and Ding Yumian rarely had the chance to enjoy such beauty quietly, forgetting all her worries and flying freely in the sky.

Both remained silent. At that moment, silence was their best form of communication. Even without words, Qin Chen could feel Ding Yumian's joy and abandon; without conversation, Ding Yumian could sense Qin Chen's caring and passionate feelings. They both understood without speaking, maintaining the tranquil atmosphere, which might be their best way of communicating.

Time passed unnoticed, and they soon reached Canglan High School's gate with the steed's swift speed. Qin Chen dismounted first and then extended his hand to help Ding Yumian down, saying:

"We've arrived at Canglan High School."

"Thank you for bringing me back," Ding Yumian said, no longer shy, as she gracefully accepted his help.

"This is my contact information. You can reach me if needed," Qin Chen said, handing her a card with his phone number, WeChat ID, and QQ number.

"Celestial steed, see you next time. I'll bring you snacks!" Ding Yumian said, stroking the steed's smooth mane before giving Qin Chen a final glance and turning to leave.

"Neigh!!!" The steed neighed happily at the mention of snacks, expressing its anticipation.

"Well done, celestial steed. Here's your reward," Qin Chen said, finding a note with his WeChat ID in the steed's mane and rewarding it with a summoning magic energy orb.

"Neigh!!!" The steed joyfully wagged its tail and pranced around excitedly.

"Look at you, forgetting everything at the mention of food. Come on, let's head to the Azure Sky Hunter Agency," Qin Chen said, mounting the steed and heading towards the agency.

Since acquiring the top-grade celestial steed, Qin Chen had saved all the money he would have spent on cars and taxis. Every time he rode the white steed through the streets, he garnered envious glances from many girls, greatly satisfying his vanity.

"Neigh!!!" Both Qin Chen and the steed enjoyed the feeling of speed, loving the thrill of flying through the sky and galloping through busy streets.

The old street where the Azure Sky Hunter Agency was located still retained its rustic charm, evoking a sense of returning to a bygone era.

"Lingling, any bounties recently?" Qin Chen called out loudly as he entered, not bothering to see if anyone was inside, knowing it was the weekend and Lingling wouldn't be in school.

However, instead of the little girl Lingling, he saw a mature, seductive, and enchanting woman. Her presence was stunning, different from Leng Qing's cold beauty, leaving Qin Chen momentarily mesmerized.

"Little brother, you must be Lingling's partner, Qin Chen. I'm Tang Yue, a friend of Lingling's sister, Leng Qing. Nice to meet you!" Tang Yue said with a seductive voice that sent shivers down Qin Chen's spine.

"Hello, Sister Tang Yue. I'm Qin Chen. Nice to meet you too," Qin Chen replied, regaining his composure.

He observed Tang Yue closely. At her prime, she was incredibly beautiful, with a charm that emanated from within. Her allure was so natural and overwhelming that every inch of her skin and every strand of her hair radiated irresistible charm, captivating anyone who looked at her.

"Lingling is upstairs. She'll come down soon after hearing your voice," Tang Yue said, noticing Qin Chen staring at her. She shifted to a more seductive pose, her eyes playfully twinkling, making her appear even more enchanting without seeming out of place.
