"You little sneak, Dug Gu Dong Yao, you scorned me first, then when you saw I was powerful, you shamelessly begged to sleep with me. Now you claim I've played with your feelings when I don't even glance at you," Zhou Hong cursed inwardly.
"Zhou Hong, why don't you come with me for a few days? Visit my family. Since you're here, I'm your host," Du Gu Shuang invited.
"Forget it, I'll leave first. See you back at the Primordial Academy."
"Oh, okay." Du Gu Shuang looked a bit disappointed.
Zhou Hong had originally planned to wait for her for a few days and return to the Primordial Academy together, but then he thought it was pointless. The journey back to the Primordial Academy from here only took two days.
"Then goodbye." Zhou Hong waved and prepared to leave.
"Zhou Hong." Du Gu Shuang wanted to say something, but didn't.
"Du Gu Shuang, if you want to sleep with me, just say so," Zhou Hong turned back, exasperated.
Du Gu Shuang rolled her eyes at Zhou Hong. "That's not what I meant. I have a secret I want to tell you, but you look impatient, so forget it. You go back to the Primordial Academy first."
Du Gu Shuang sighed inwardly. She had wanted Zhou Hong to visit her family and perhaps deepen their relationship. But since Zhou Hong insisted on leaving, she decided to tell him a major secret of their empire, hoping to make him stay.
Du Gu Shuang was really going all out for a man. If her family found out, they would surely disown her. This was a secret of the Glazed Empire, and revealing it would mean extermination of her entire clan.
"What secret?" Zhou Hong asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Nothing, nothing." Du Gu Shuang regained her composure. She had almost blurted it out. But then she thought, if it led to the extermination of her clan, it wouldn't be worth it. This was the supreme secret of their imperial family.
However, Du Gu Shuang's sudden reticence only piqued Zhou Hong's curiosity.
"It's nothing, just tell me," Zhou Hong's intuition told him that the secret Du Gu Shuang was suddenly unwilling to share was no small matter.
"No, no, I was just teasing you." Du Gu Shuang quickly shook her head and changed her tune. If she caused her family to be wiped out for a man, she would be a sinner. Moreover, this man wouldn't possibly take her as his girlfriend.
"If you tell me, I'll give you a chance to be my girlfriend," Zhou Hong stated directly.
"This...!" Du Gu Shuang was clearly tempted.
To be the girlfriend of a genius like Zhou Hong was every girl's dream.
"You're not joking, are you?"
"Of course not. If you don't believe me, let's find an inn right now, and I'll give you my body." Zhou Hong said.
Du Gu Shuang blushed and rolled her eyes. "Who wants your body, you pervert."
"Then tell me. Judging by your reaction, the secret you were about to tell me isn't a small one. You've piqued my curiosity, so hurry up and tell me."
"Then let's find a secluded place. This is no small matter; it could lead to the extermination of our nine generations," Du Gu Shuang whispered.
"Alright, there's an inn ahead. Let's go to the inn now, and we can talk while we... play," Zhou Hong pointed forward.
"Play what?" Du Gu Shuang was a little confused.
"Play with me, of course."
"Who wants to play with you? It's like I'm the one taking advantage."
"Hahaha." Zhou Hong burst into laughter.
Yet, Du Gu Shuang thought to herself that she was indeed the one taking advantage. A genius like Zhou Hong, to be able to "play" with him, how many women would envy her.
Soon, Zhou Hong and Du Gu Shuang arrived at the inn ahead, booked a room, and entered.
As soon as they entered the room, Zhou Hong eagerly rushed forward.
"Ah! What are you doing?" Du Gu Shuang cried out in surprise.
"Let's take care of this first, so you don't have to worry that after you tell me the secret, I'll go back on my word and not give you my body."
Amidst their hurried breaths, an hour passed.
Although Zhou Hong had shown off in front of hundreds of women over the past eight years, he hadn't slept with any of them. So, at this moment, Zhou Hong was indeed a little anxious.
An hour later.
"Whoosh!" Du Gu Shuang took a deep breath, as if returning from a dream.
"Du Gu Shuang, I didn't expect you to still have your first time after eight years," Zhou Hong chuckled.
"Nonsense, what kind of person do you think I am?"
"In these eight years at the Primordial Academy, didn't you find a boyfriend?"
"How could I? Apart from you, there's no man at the Primordial Academy whom I find worthy. The night you left the Primordial Academy eight years ago, I decided to give my first time to you as a gift. Today, it has finally come true."
"Why me specifically?" Zhou Hong asked with a wry smile.
"A genius like you will definitely become an extraordinary powerhouse in the future. I can guarantee that countless girls on the entire Tian Yang Continent have the greatest wish of giving themselves to you, because it is an honor." Su Dan Novel Network.
"Alright, I didn't realize I was that popular."
"So, am I your girlfriend now?" Du Gu Shuang looked at Zhou Hong, finding it hard to believe.
"Yes, you are my girlfriend now." Zhou Hong nodded. It wasn't like Zhou Hong had lost anything.
"Mhm, mhm. Don't worry, although I'm not as talented as you, I will definitely work hard and not disgrace you," Du Gu Shuang said, tears streaming down her face in excitement.
"Silly woman, it's just being my girlfriend, what's there to be so excited about?" Zhou Hong smiled and shook his head, somewhat confused about what Tian Yang Continent women were thinking.
"What's there not to understand? It's like Long Xuan from the Primordial Academy. If she agreed to be your girlfriend, wouldn't you also be very excited?"
"Uh!" Zhou Hong's body trembled slightly. He seemed to understand. However, that was in the past. Now, even if Long Xuan agreed to be Zhou Hong's girlfriend, Zhou Hong wouldn't be excited anymore.
"Alright, it's time to reveal your secret. Don't disappoint me, this secret was exchanged for my body."
Du Gu Shuang gave Zhou Hong a playful glare and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's definitely a big secret, but you must keep it confidential."
"Speak."
"Our Glazed Empire's royal family discovered an immortal mansion that dates back billions of years. However, no one has been able to enter it yet. At most, we can only reach the periphery, and even the periphery is extremely dangerous."
Zhou Hong's expression indeed became serious. Discovering an immortal mansion in the mortal world was an extraordinary event.
As everyone knows, an immortal mansion is a dwelling built by an immortal. If one could enter an immortal mansion, even a random stick could turn out to be a powerful artifact.
"Are you sure you're not lying to me?" Zhou Hong looked at Du Gu Shuang with some disbelief.
