I traveled through time and space as a villain and became her heart-stealer.

As he spoke, Gu Qinghan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sly smile.

"If I said that was it, would you come with me?"

Chapter 96 Plan

Lianna's face turned red, but she finally gritted her teeth and followed Gu Qinghan into the dark alley.

She had no idea what was going to happen next.

But Lianna could accept whatever Mr. Hohenheim did to her.

Slowly closing her eyes, Lianna completely gave her hand to Hohenheim, allowing him to lead her into the darkness.

Faintly, she felt that the distance between the two of them seemed to have become closer.

His large, powerful palm was tightly gripping Lianna's slender wrist, warm and gentle.

Two people walked one in front and one behind in the narrow and dark street.

Take one step, then another.

The cool and pleasant breeze blew by, making people relax unconsciously, as if even if the road ahead was full of thorns, she had the confidence to go on.

After an unknown amount of time, a ray of silver light broke through the dark clouds and illuminated the way ahead.

Lianna vaguely felt that Mr. Hohenheim's pace slowed down.

"Okay, we're here."

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in her ears, confirming her inner thoughts.

Slowly opening her eyes, Lianna saw a ray of silver light pouring down, shining on the water, sparkling with ripples.

She couldn't help but stand there, shocked by the scenery before her.

"This is……?"

Lianna's expression was dull and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

A crescent moon hangs in the sky, and its silvery-white fluorescence pours down, illuminating the clear spring water and reflecting a faint light.

At the spring, weak magical power gushed out, carrying clear liquid into the air, sparkling with bright light.

Under the spring, countless coins were illuminated by silver light. They were traces of wishes made, and like gems, they reflected colorful light.

so beautiful……

But why is there such a place across the alley?

"Sobering Spring."

Gu Qinghan smiled indifferently, still holding Lianna's hand, and walked towards the stone platform outside the spring.

Lianna could not help but stand there in a daze.

It wasn’t because Gu Qinghan suddenly spoke, but because the four words “Spring of Sobriety” had an unusual meaning to the young people in Zhiai City.

——"I am now very sober and not overwhelmed by love. But even so, I still love you deeply."

Slogans like these, after secret manipulation by businesses, have attracted many young people.

Before long, it became a holy place for lovers to confess their love.

Lianna blinked, her face turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Could it be that Mr. Hohenheim came here to confess his love to me... ?

Lianna felt her heartbeat quicken and couldn't help but secretly glance at Gu Qinghan.

At the same time, Gu Qinghan also had a serious expression on his face, staring at her cheek intently.

This made Lianna even more nervous.

It can not be!

She bit her lips lightly and said nothing. It was so quiet around her that she could almost hear her own heartbeat.

In silence, time passes by every second.

Finally, Gu Qinghan spoke first.

"Dear Miss Lianna, I have something I want to convey to you."

"You say!"

Lianna blushed and replied quickly.

With such a solemn opening, no matter how rational Lianna was, she couldn't help but think in that direction.

After a long silence, Gu Qinghan took a deep breath and finally spoke again slowly:

"I am in a very dangerous situation now and I need your help."

"No, this kind of thing is a bit too fast for us... huh?"

Lianna blinked and stood there in a daze.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?"

Lianna's expression visibly calmed down.

"I need your help, Miss Lianna." Gu Qinghan repeated.

This time, it was Lianna's turn to have a serious expression.

It must be a very serious matter for Mr. Hohenheim to make such a request.

This is not the time to be daydreaming.

"Excuse me, what happened?" Lianna bit her lips lightly and asked cautiously.

Gu Qinghan took a deep breath, then nodded with a serious expression.

"Katerina could arrest me at any time in the next few days."

"Not only that, I'm afraid I'll be monitored and controlled by Katarina and won't be able to move freely."

"So I need your help."

"Only Miss Lianna can help me out of this predicament."

Lianna stood there in a daze, looking at Gu Qinghan with a complicated expression, her eyes full of worry.

She soon understood.

"Is it because of the punishment for the love gun?"

"Yes."

Gu Qinghan lowered his voice and spoke word by word.

For Gu Qinghan, the sudden appearance of the Punishment Gun completely disrupted all previous plans.

He had never expected that after battling wits and courage with Catalina for so long, he would eventually be exposed by a small detection gun.

"But didn't Miss Catalina say that it was because of a gun malfunction?" Lianna bit her lower lip, not understanding the reason.

Gu Qinghan sighed lightly, then smiled helplessly:

"That's her lying."

"There are only three such guns in the entire Pure Love Kingdom. They are carefully maintained every day, so how could they be easily destroyed?"

Lianna was stunned when she heard this, her eyes turned red.

She felt instinctively that Herr Hohenheim was right.

"So, does that mean Miss Catalina is also deceiving us when she said she would recruit you into the team?"

Gu Qinghan paused, then replied:

"Not to deceive, but to exploit."

Lianna stood there in a daze after hearing that, her expression flickering as she struggled for a moment.

"Faced with the simultaneous invasion of nine high-ranking officials from the Joyful Empire, the pressure felt by the Supervisory Detachment was enormous."

"However, it would be much easier if you could use me as bait to lure the people of the Pleasure Empire to expose themselves and then capture them one by one."

"Therefore, it is necessary for her to let me join the inspection team because I am valuable enough."

Gu Qinghan paused, then continued:

"But this is definitely not her real purpose."

"When my usefulness is exhausted and everything is over, I will be branded as a criminal again and imprisoned in the dungeon."

"During this period, they will collect all the evidence to convict me."

Hearing this, Lianna's face turned pale and she couldn't help but take a step back.

how so.

Could Miss Katarina, who always has a confident smile on her face, actually do such a thing?

"Why don't we go now? I can accompany you wherever you go!"

"It's too late."

Gu Qinghan paused and let out a breath.

But then, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"But fortunately, we didn't have to run away."

A meaningful smile appeared on Gu Qinghan's face.

Lianna could not help but stand there in a daze.

Speaking of which, Mr. Hohenheim has been like this since today.

He looked very anxious, but he held her hand and walked slowly around.

He looked confident.

"I see."

Lianna was stunned at first, then gradually understood, and then she showed a calm smile.

"You must have your own plans, don't you?"

Gu Qinghan smiled faintly and nodded, then slowly said:

"good."

"As long as Miss Lianna is willing to help me, even if they really find all nine women of the Pleasure Empire, they will not pose any threat to me at all."

"I can get ahead of myself and destroy all the evidence."

Extra: Nameless Tavern 01 (Update!)

Deeter Street, City of Love.

The Nameless Tavern.

Today, the shop's business is still mediocre.

Olivia folded her arms across her chest, leaning against the wall outside the store, her eyes gleaming with resentment.

Next to her, there is a pub called "Pure Love Nightclub", which is doing extremely booming business.

The adventurers who were out were in groups of three or five, holding their glasses high, laughing and talking happily without even glancing over here.

It’s so infuriating!

When will these brainless guys be able to taste real fine wine?

After taking a few deep breaths, Olivia calmed herself down and put on a playful smile again.

Well, she didn't open the pub to make money anyway.

Since the tavern next door is so short of money, just reward them with some business.

With a cold snort, the woman waved her red robe, stepped out with her long legs as smooth as mutton-fat jade, and returned to the tavern.
