Chapter 239: Hidden Beauty and the Rebellious Beauty

Chapter 239: Hidden Beauty and the Rebellious Beauty

The sun shone brightly, illuminating the mountains and forests.

After Chu Feng and Yellow Bull left, Shaohua also led the three women out of Taihang Mountain, returning to the secluded courtyard in Qingyang Town.

"Ah, I feel alive again!" Jiang Luoshen stretched, her slender waist revealing a beautiful, smooth line of skin, like white jade.

It should have been quite eye-catching, but unfortunately, no one in the room had a figure that was any less impressive than hers, so no one gave her any special attention.

"Can I call my family? I'm not planning to escape, I just don't want them to worry." Lu Shiyun raised her hand, though she seemed to have developed a new habit of talking without fully realizing it.

"Sure, go ahead." Shaohua placed no restrictions on their freedom.

Hmm, can they really run? As long as they're mine, it's fine!

Jiang Luoshen was also eager to call her family and ran off with Lu Shiyun to a corner of the courtyard to use the communicator.

"Are you sure this won't make them worry more?" Lin Nuoyi said with a smile, her red lips and white teeth shining brightly, revealing a side of her that was rarely seen.

She didn't rush to contact her family but instead carefully examined the house.

Before the Great Catastrophe, she had passed by this place, but at that time, Chu Feng had already gone on a solo journey, so she hadn't come inside to see it.

Now, returning, she felt a subtle sense of nostalgia.

"That's right, you should smile more, you look even more beautiful when you do." Shaohua said with a gentle laugh.

"Being from a large family, being a bit cold is good for everyone, but sometimes, wearing a mask for too long makes you forget who you really are." Lin Nuoyi looked at Shaohua and said calmly.

"Here, by your side, there are no worldly constraints, it's relaxing, and I really like it."

"Of course you do, but don't fall in love with me!" Shaohua winked, a smile on her face.

Lin Nuoyi's expression changed, and she stared at her. "If I didn't know better, I'd suspect you and Chu Feng are siblings. No wonder you two get along so well."

"I say I've just been infected by him, do you believe me?" Shaohua asked.

"I do." To her surprise, Lin Nuoyi answered confidently.

"You and I are alike, both wearing masks. Chu Feng is naturally like that, but you are different, you are deliberately imitating, hiding something?"

Shaohua lifted her gaze, looking at the woman before her, her smile fading, her eyes turning cold, but then softening again, like autumn water.

There was no doubt that Lin Nuoyi was right, hitting the nail on the head.

She liked to smile, sometimes acting a bit playful, but she rarely went too far. How could she keep teasing good women?

"You are really clever, no wonder. Now, I'm really starting to like you." Shaohua sighed, feeling a bit more relaxed after being seen through.

She extended a hand, her fingers as white as jade, gently caressing Lin Nuoyi's moon-like cheek. It was an intimate gesture, yet there was no hint of anything inappropriate.

Lin Nuoyi didn't retreat, allowing her face to be touched, meeting Shaohua's eyes, which were beautiful, like a starry sky.

"You are sad, very sad?"

"A bit." Shaohua didn't deny it.

How could she not be sad?

Forgetting the past, not knowing where to go.

The emperor fell, the devil was destroyed, the heavens and earth were once buried, the world vast and empty, leaving only her. What was she supposed to do?

"Do you need a shoulder? I can hug you to comfort you." Lin Nuoyi's flawless, cold face broke into a mysterious smile, as if she was eager to try.

Shaohua didn't respond, just moved closer, wrapping her arms around Lin Nuoyi's slender waist. The room was quiet and peaceful, filled with a sense of beauty.

"Whoa~ Did I just see something incredible?" Jiang Luoshen, having finished her call, was stunned by the scene as she entered the room.

You said you weren't involved, but you're hugging now!

Lu Shiyun also saw the two tall, slender figures tightly embracing and rubbed her eyes, quickly pulling Jiang Luoshen away.

"No wonder she's so biased towards Lin Nuoyi, it makes sense now!" Jiang Luoshen exclaimed, as if she had just solved a mystery.

"We might just be here to cover up the truth and be held captive." Lu Shiyun also had many thoughts.

They exchanged glances, both feeling they had uncovered the truth.

But then a problem arose.

"Having discovered the truth, will we be killed to silence us?"

The two felt a chill, as if a terrifying presence was about to pounce on them and swallow them whole.

"What truth? What killing to silence us?"

Shaohua walked out, hearing the two beauties whispering in the corner, her face darkening as she flicked their heads, making them crouch down, tears in their eyes.

Lin Nuoyi looked at them and couldn't help but smile.

Clearly, these two had misunderstood something, but she didn't feel the need to explain.

"I'll make a call too", she said to Shaohua, to let her parents know she was safe.

She also explained the events to the people at Heavenly God Biotech. The deaths of the Xu sisters and the Mu family in Taihang Mountain were their own fault, and they shouldn't take any inappropriate actions.

Additionally, she made some other requests.

"This is Chu Feng's home, and he will bring his parents back. It will be inconvenient, so I'll have the house behind us bought. We can move there." Lin Nuoyi said.

Behind Chu Feng's home was an empty courtyard, the family long gone. They could move in immediately if needed.

However, she didn't want to do that, so she had someone find the owners. If they couldn't be found, she would buy another nearby property.

To be at peace with herself, it was all about having money and being free to do as she pleased!

Shaohua was very satisfied.

The next day, the house behind them was officially registered under Lin Nuoyi's name. The large corporate clans were efficient. By the third day, the house had been completely renovated with the best materials, ready to move into.

She brought Jiang Luoshen and Lu Shiyun to clean the house.

These young ladies, who usually didn't lift a finger, were surprisingly enthusiastic about the task, finding it a novel experience.

As evolved mutants, they were quick and efficient, and there wasn't much to do, just a bit of dusting and arranging the new furniture.

The house was similar to Chu Feng's, from the same era. Shaohua still stayed in her favorite study on the second floor.

The study was filled with books, some of which were ancient texts, clearly a gift from Heavenly God Biotech to please her. They wanted to resolve their previous conflict and, if possible, win her over.

A single bed was placed in the back of the study. Shaohua didn't want to move to another room and pulled Lin Nuoyi to stay on the second floor as well.

"I'll stay in the study", Lin Nuoyi said, surprised by Shaohua's fondness for the study.

"Do as I say", Shaohua said firmly. Since that day, her smile had become rarer, but their relationship had grown closer.

As for Jiang Luoshen and Lu Shiyun, they had to stay downstairs. In fact, the first floor had more space and wasn't any less comfortable.

Meanwhile, as Chu Feng traveled north to Shuntian and Yellow Bull went west to Kunlun, another piece of news shook the world.

Mount Song was occupied by a group of apes.

Mount Song was a place of great significance, with several bodhi trees, especially a thousand-year-old adamantine bodhi tree, which was likely a sacred tree, driving various factions into a frenzy.

Who would have thought that a old ape would defeat all the factions and take over the mountain? Bodhi Genetics had fought them but suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat.

If that was all, it wouldn't have been so shocking.

One day, the old ape emerged from an ancient temple and announced the establishment of a new sect, the Great Forest Temple.

This was what caused the massive upheaval. A mutant beast occupying Mount Song and founding a sect was truly unbelievable!

In a single day, the name "Great Forest Temple" became known throughout the world.

Soon, Bodhi Genetics announced their withdrawal from the competition, and other major factions followed suit, unwilling to make futile sacrifices.

"All beings have souls, all are equal."

The old ape spoke calmly, expressing a desire to coexist peacefully with humans and avoid harming the innocent. This was a gesture of goodwill.

He also announced that he would take on disciples, regardless of race, inviting anyone with the right connection to join, causing another wave of excitement.

No matter how the outside world changed, it didn't affect the small town at the foot of Taihang Mountain.

On Taihang Mountain, the White Serpent had recovered and grown even stronger.

Shaohua plucked a leaf from the willow tree and rewarded it to the White Serpent, awakening some ancient bloodline within it. A slight bump appeared on its head, hinting at the emergence of horns.

However, its size decreased, shrinking to less than a hundred meters.

Returning from the mountain, Shaohua looked at the beautiful women in the courtyard and mused, "Hmm, what am I doing, keeping beauties in a golden house?"

She didn't set any restrictions; the three women could leave if they wanted to.

Lin Nuoyi didn't want to leave, finding it comfortable here. Jiang Luoshen and Lu Shiyun didn't dare to leave, as the former had already betrayed them, revealing all their secrets.

How could they run away now?

If they tried to escape in the morning, people would be at their door by noon.

"Is there a possibility that I'm the one keeping beauties in a golden house?" Lin Nuoyi said seriously, pointing out that the property was in her name.

She wasn't as cold as she seemed, but only when she truly trusted someone did she show a different side.

What Chu Feng couldn't do, Shaohua did effortlessly, melting the ice and bringing warmth to her heart.

Lin Nuoyi stepped out, catching Shaohua's eye.

She was dressed casually, with a few holes in her jeans revealing smooth, white skin, paired with a loose T-shirt.

This outfit didn't match her identity or personality, but she wore it with a rebellious, down-to-earth charm.

The two walked side by side, strolling down the town's streets, becoming a beautiful sight.
