What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

Seeing that An Chen didn't react at all.

"?" Old Huang's pupils dilated in shock.

Jiuge's partner is definitely not an ordinary person.

Judging from what happened before the meeting and what the knight just said, there are many suspicious points about An Chen.

What's going on? Could it be that the cane has malfunctioned because it hasn't been properly maintained?

An Chen walked towards Old Huang with his cane.

"Here you go. It's very inconvenient to walk without such an important item as a cane." He handed the cane to Old Huang.

"Yes, it was an accident."

Old Huang took back his cane with a serious expression and looked around.

A few seconds later, the cane shattered in his hand.

"It's broken?" Old Huang's heart stopped, and his hands trembled.

“It does happen occasionally that things are left lying around, so it’s always safer to keep your things safe,” An Chen said seriously, glancing at the broken cane in Old Huang’s hand.

"This is...this is a treasure I've finally obtained after all these years..."

Seemingly unable to accept the reality before him, Old Huang began to gasp for breath.

"Are you alright?" Seeing that Elder Huang's condition was not good, Jiu Ge was a little worried.

Although she didn't know exactly what kind of treasure the cane was, she was well aware that Old Huang's cane had many uses.

It's broken, which is a real shame.

Looking at the situation before him, the knight stopped fiddling with the stone and pulled out a beige old cane that looked much worse than it had been, handing it to Old Huang.

Old Huang shakily took the old cane, still panting heavily.

An Chen sighed, "It's just broken, it should still be able to be repaired."

Jiuge didn't say anything, but she nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing An Chen say "that's all," Old Huang's face darkened.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, then tapped the ground with his old cane: "Yu Bei and the other two briefly explained what happened in the illusion and went back. You guys should also tell me what you know."

Upon hearing this, Jiuge tossed her hair and pondered for a moment.

The next moment, she began to describe indifferently: "The people of Gouzi Bay have been reincarnating in a dream world for a hundred years because of a very evil stone that spiritualists cannot touch. In order to find out the situation and solve the problem of the stone, we followed the spirit in the dream world and went through a complete cycle of reincarnation."

"Hmm, and then? How did you manage to resolve the illusion?" Although the question was directed at Jiu Ge, Old Huang was staring intently at An Chen.

"..." Jiuge was a little unsure how to organize her thoughts.

Lying without batting an eye is too difficult for her, and she would feel a deep sense of guilt afterward.

"Then we discovered that the cycle we experienced was the final limit of the illusion. When the cycle ended and the second cycle should have started, we fell unconscious and fell out of the illusion. The illusion failed, and we didn't know where the stone went," An Chen added solemnly.

"Jiuge, is that what he said?" Upon hearing this, Elder Huang looked at Jiuge.

"Hmm," Jiuge said expressionlessly.

"In other words, the illusion itself failed, and everyone who entered the illusion eventually fell out and fell into a short coma because the illusion failed. The culprit stone also failed and fell out, mixing with the ordinary stones?" Old Huang tried to summarize Jiu Ge and An Chen's explanation.

He was genuinely skeptical of An Chen's words, but Jiu Ge rarely lied.

“Yes, at the same time the illusion disappeared, the spirits of Gouzi Bay should have been reincarnated as well,” Jiuge replied.

This is the truth. After Zhang Zhidong's great-grandfather and his group "left" with the villagers of Gouziwan, the entire Zhang family cemetery was bathed in "Buddha's light".

"What did you do in the next few hours?" Old Huang pressed.

"Go back and feed the cat," An Chen answered quickly.

“Mm.” Jiuge nodded in agreement.

There's nothing wrong with it. After visiting the Zhang family cemetery, I asked Zhang Zhidao to go back and feed the cat.

"..." Old Huang was a bit stuck in Bengbu.

"Do you remember what that stone looked like?" He reluctantly accepted reality.

"If we can't find it, it will be difficult for me to report to my superiors," he sighed.

“It’s about the same size as a pebble,” Jiuge said.

“White,” An Chen added.

"..." Old Huang looked back at the large bag of stones at the knight's feet, somewhat speechless.

"Bang, bang, bang." The sound of stones hitting each other echoed again from the knight's armor.

"In short, congratulations on successfully completing the mission. I hope you have a pleasant few days in Jingcheng. I'll personally show you around." Old Huang coughed and looked at An Chen with an air of authority.

Chapter 112 Hug again

The next morning, An Chen was awakened by a knock on the door before six o'clock.

Because of Huang Lao's insistence on the Jingcheng entertainment arrangements that could not be refused, he and Jiu Ge were currently staying in the largest five-star hotel in Jingcheng.

He lived in room 201, and Jiuge lived in room 202.

Upon opening the door, Jiu Ge, wearing a pure white dress she had hastily bought the night before, stood shyly at the entrance.

"Good morning..." She twirled her bangs with her finger and smiled shyly.

Fortunately, her boyfriend has the ability to ward off spirits for four weeks, otherwise Jiuge might have had a sleepless night.

"Good morning. Come in and sit down for a bit... I haven't washed up yet." Yawning, An Chen turned and went into the bathroom.

Jiuge hesitated for a moment, then quickly walked into An Chen's room.

Hearing the sounds coming from the bathroom, and taking advantage of the fact that An Chen wouldn't come out immediately, she lay down on the bed, which still held An Chen's body heat.

"It's An Chen's scent." Jiu Ge sniffed the blanket; it had a pleasant fragrance.

"I want to keep smelling it," she muttered to herself.

According to Elder Huang's arrangement, he will properly receive Jiu Ge and An Chen for four consecutive days.

Jiuge had some uneasy guesses about Huang Lao's motives, but he wasn't sure.

She went to ask An Chen, but An Chen was indifferent and didn't care about Old Huang's matter at all, so in the end, she stopped worrying about it.

Three minutes later, An Chen, having changed his clothes, finally came out of the bathroom.

"The new clothes look great." He was actually a little confused when he saw Jiu Ge lying naturally on his bed.

"Oh? Thank you, yours too."

Jiuge realized that her current behavior was not quite right, so she quickly got out of bed and sat up.

"Phew..." An Chen couldn't help but exhale.

Although it was only for a moment, he couldn't deny that his heart skipped a beat.

"Hold, hold hands." Looking at An Chen, Jiu Ge blushed and reached out her hand to him.

"Ah."

An Chen smiled and took Jiu Ge's soft hand in his.

"Hug...hug me again!" Jiuge blinked and continued to make the request.

“…” An Chen was stunned again.

If I remember correctly, Jiuge was still very shy after confessing her feelings yesterday.

An Chen gently embraced Jiu Ge, holding her waist.

After a long while, he finally let go.

"Phew..." Jiuge also let out a breath.

If you take a closer look, the feeling of being hugged is indeed very exciting.

"Give me another hug!" she made a new request.

"..."

An Chen remained silent.

He smiled gently and hugged her again.

After a long time, this time even longer, An Chen finally let go.

"Um...one more...one more hug!" Jiuge tugged at his sleeve, making her request once again.

"Are you a broken record?" An Chen was both amused and exasperated.

He stood up, took Jiuge's hand, lifted her up, and embraced her tightly.

This hug lasted for several minutes.

"Can we still hug each other in the future?" After letting go, Jiuge still stared longingly at An Chen's chest.

After repeating the lesson several times, she became much bolder.

“Sure, as long as you’re not shy, I’ll hug you anytime, anywhere.” An Chen playfully pinched Jiu Ge’s nose.

"Ah."

Upon hearing the answer, Jiuge nodded happily.

She clenched her fists and then threw herself into An Chen's arms.

This last pounce lasted for a very, very long time.

……

At 7:30, An Chen led Jiu Ge out of the room.

"Cuckoo"

As soon as the elevator button was pressed, Jiuge's stomach rumbled.

"I...this...ah..." Jiuge suddenly pulled her hand out of An Chen's hand, her hands flailing helplessly in the air.
