The Great Green Mountain was boundless and rarely saw human footprints, leaving many of its places beautifully untouched.
This was a mountain valley, not particularly wide, with a spring on the cliff wall that bubbled forth with clear water. The stream trickled down, forming a deep, wide pool. In the water, one could even see fish swimming about. It reflected the blue sky, white clouds, and the silhouettes of giant trees, making it exceptionally beautiful and enchanting.
There were not many trees in the valley, as most of the ground was rock. As such, grass and stones covered the valley floor. One enormous rock, at least thirty square meters, was as smooth as a mirror and resembled white jade. Many more stones of all shapes and sizes were scattered about, colored white, blue, and light red. Perhaps due to the valley's warmth, flowers of various colors competed to bloom, releasing an intense fragrance.
From afar, the scene resembled mist drifting over the hazy Qingshan, like a land of the Immortals.
Following the map Zhang Bin had sent to her phone, Liu Ruomei arrived in this very valley. A look of delight appeared on her face. "This place is truly beautiful," she mused aloud. "It would be so peaceful and comfortable to cultivate here."
She immediately hopped onto the white stone slab and sat down gracefully, gazing at the mist, the deep pool, and the picturesque scenery. She was truly lost in the moment, feeling as though she had walked into a painting.
After a good while, she came back to her senses and spoke into her phone in a coquettish tone, "Chen Junheng, where are you? I've arrived."
"Lift your head, and you'll see me."
Chen Junheng's voice came from the phone. This was, of course, Zhang Bin deliberately using his True Qi to alter the structure of his throat. He had produced a deep, pleasant, and magnetic voice that was completely different from his own.
Liu Ruomei immediately looked up.
She saw a mountain towering into the Yun Tian, free of mist and wreathed only in white clouds. Its steep peak pierced the heavens. And then, the Chen Junheng she had been waiting for descended, flying down from the high mountain. He seemed to ride the white clouds, his long hair flowing, his black suit fluttering, and his red tie dancing in the wind. His eyes were as bright as jewels.
At that moment, he looked like a true Immortal, like a real-life Aotuman. In that instant, he was the most handsome youth in the world.
"Chen Junheng, you're way too cool!" Liu Ruomei was astounded by Zhang Bin's dramatic entrance and exclaimed in shock.
With an imposing aura, Zhang Bin descended from the clouds. He landed as gently as a falling leaf in front of Liu Ruomei. He gazed at the alluring woman before him with an infatuated look, his heart pounding in his chest.
The woman before him was, of course, a rare beauty. Her bust, already ample, had been enhanced by a special breast-enlarging winter melon she had consumed. As a result, she had become even more buxom—truly a world-class bombshell. The temptation she presented to Zhang Bin was simply unparalleled.
"This valley is very beautiful. Do you live here?" Liu Ruomei asked in amazement.
"No, I only come here occasionally to cultivate and enjoy the beautiful spring scenery," Zhang Bin said, pointing upward. "I spend more time on that peak. It's even more beautiful there, but not a place ordinary people can reach. The mountain is too steep."
"I've cultivated to the Rushing Pulse Realm and opened ten meridians. Can't I even make it up there?" Liu Ruomei asked.
"Although you're very powerful now, you still can't climb this mountain. However, I can fly you up," Zhang Bin said. He had been diligently cultivating the Pure Heart Mystique and training his Special Ability, so he had made great progress. He could now easily lift 200 kilograms. He himself weighed only eighty kilograms, and Liu Ruomei was fifty-five at most. He was more than capable of carrying her in flight, though not for a sustained period.
"Forget it, I'm not going up. What do you need my help with? Tell me quickly, I have to get back early. My brother-in-law doesn't let me stay out too long." How could she possibly let Chen Junheng carry her? She refused without a second thought.
"When did I ever say you couldn't stay out too long?" Zhang Bin was so angry he almost spat blood, but he said aloud, "This isn't the place to talk. It's better if we go up top. It'll only take a moment to get you there."
Besides having important matters to entrust to her, he wanted to talk to her as a friend, hoping to break through her reservations and encourage her to boldly become his woman. After all, Liu Ruolan had said that while she didn't support it, she wouldn't oppose it either. He felt she wasn't joking.
However, Liu Ruomei continued to refuse.
Zhang Bin instantly grew furious. He suddenly swept her into his arms, leaped into the air, and flew straight toward the peak.
"Bastard, let go of me! Let go right now!"
Liu Ruomei was frantic, struggling with all her might. But she soon stopped, because she caught a familiar, masculine scent—one that was identical to Zhang Bin's.
My God, could Chen Junheng be my brother-in-law in disguise? A terrifying and unbelievable thought surged through her mind. She was genuinely shocked by her own realization. If Chen Junheng is really my brother-in-law, what is his goal? Oh my God, is he using another identity to pursue me, his own sister-in-law?! Is he really that despicable?
She didn't dare think about it any further.
Immediately, she began to deny her own speculation. How could Chen Junheng possibly be Zhang Bin? Zhang Bin can't fly, or at least he can't fly while carrying someone. He doesn't have those miraculous hacking skills either. And my brother-in-law has never mentioned being skilled in painting or chess. But my brother-in-law is so mysterious and unpredictable. He might have many amazing abilities that he's deliberately kept hidden. I still don't understand him well enough to know what he's truly capable of. It's still possible he could disguise himself as Chen Junheng to pursue me. Besides, he's already a Big Bad Egg, so he's definitely capable of something like this.
She took several more deep breaths, carefully sensing the aroma again, and realized it was truly identical to Zhang Bin's scent.
She fumed, "Brother-in-law, you bastard! You Big Bad Egg! How dare you disguise yourself as Chen Junheng to deceive me?"
Zhang Bin was stunned. Damn it, I've been exposed! The last time, his scent had nearly allowed Ye Feng of the Special Action Team to track him down. Could it be that Liu Ruomei also has a miraculous sense of smell like Ye Feng?
What he didn't know was that while Liu Ruomei's nose wasn't as sensitive as Ye Feng's, she possessed a mind-related Special Ability. After cultivating the Pure Heart Mystique, that ability had grown even stronger. Therefore, her senses were exceptionally sharp, which explained how she could identify him as Zhang Bin just by his scent.
