Female Protagonist Assistance System

Chapter 112 : . A Sweet Reunion

Upon hearing Xiao Han's words, Gu Yuan's face showed an expression of shock and wild joy. With Gu Xun'er's emergence from seclusion and his own physical condition, Gu Yuan had already guessed what had transpired.

"Xun'er has truly broken through..." He eagerly turned his head towards Xiao Han's direction, impatient to confirm his suspicions, only to find that there was no one behind him.

He paused for a moment, then suddenly chuckled and shook his head, sighing, "Young people these days..."

Xiao Han was unaware of Gu Yuan's musings, but even if she had known, she wouldn't have paid them any mind. Her thoughts were entirely focused on Gu Xun'er, who had just emerged from seclusion.

The moment that terrifyingly vast aura appeared, countless presences locked onto the direction of the Ancient Clan's forbidden area. Xiao Han could sense numerous not-so-weak auras rapidly converging towards the Ancient Clan's forbidden area.

Her brows furrowed slightly, a blood-colored glint flickering in her silver eyes as the terrifying aura of Tribulation Lightning suddenly erupted. This aura differed from that emanating from the Ancient Clan's forbidden area. While the latter was purely vast and magnificent, the aura Xiao Han released carried a ruthless killing intent, serving as a clear warning.

Whether recognizing this as the aura of the current Alliance Leader or intimidated by the terrifying killing intent, the pursuing presences halted one after another. Although they didn't leave, at least they stopped advancing.

Having completed her warning, Xiao Han simply tore open space and used spatial transference to arrive instantly at the entrance of the Ancient Clan's forbidden area.

In the air above the Ancient Clan's forbidden area, golden flames suddenly surged forth without warning, slowly blossoming like a lotus. Xiao Han halted her steps, her eyes widening slightly. With her power, she could naturally sense that these golden flames before her were not the Golden Emperor Skyscorching Flame, nor were they real flames at all, but rather an extremely dense concentration of spiritual energy.

The golden flames began to surge, transforming into a massive golden light dome that enveloped the entire Ancient Clan.

Every ancient clan that had once produced a Dou God possessed a clan barrier. This barrier was formed from the energy released when a clan member broke through to Dou God, with the purpose of protecting the clan. As the golden flames enveloped the entire clan, Xiao Han clearly sensed that the Ancient Clan's original barrier had strengthened several times over in an instant.

After the new barrier had solidified, the golden flames gradually receded, and a woman dressed in luxurious golden robes with closed eyes slowly walked out. A powerful aura swept forth, intertwined with an extremely familiar scent, causing Xiao Han to lose focus momentarily and involuntarily take two steps forward.

On the woman's originally fair and smooth forehead, a pale golden symbol had appeared. Though composed of just a few strokes, it seemed to contain unfathomable mysteries.

"Xun'er..." Unable to conceal the joy in her heart, Xiao Han extended her hand towards her lover, who had emerged from the flames like a celestial maiden.

The tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and Xiao Han saw a pair of pure golden eyes that seemed to burn with golden flames.

Gu Xun'er moved with graceful steps towards Xiao Han. With each step, the golden color in her eyes faded slightly. By the time she reached Xiao Han, her eyes had returned to their usual jet-black hue.

Gu Xun'er raised one hand, gently placing it on Xiao Han's outstretched hand. Her other hand softly climbed up Xiao Han's sleeve, lightly grasping the sleeve of her silver robe. Then, she leaned forward and gently kissed Xiao Han's lips.

The kiss was light, like a feather, yet it exploded with intense emotion the moment it landed. Xiao Han lowered her head slightly to allow Gu Xun'er better access.

Xiao Han's emotional fluctuations were typically very shallow, with few things able to resonate with her or move her. Only when facing Gu Xun'er would she slightly reveal her emotions. But as this kiss fell, for some unknown reason, she suddenly felt the urge to cry. This kiss felt like it had traversed thousands of years of time and space, containing an indescribable longing and impulse.

A thousand words were ultimately condensed into this gentle kiss. While not the most passionate they had experienced, it was the most moving.

Xiao Han was slightly dazed. She looked at Gu Xun'er's raven-black eyelashes and finally slowly closed her eyes, raising her hand to gently press against the back of Gu Xun'er's head, deepening the kiss.

Xun'er... Xun'er...

This intense feeling came too suddenly and was too unfamiliar, making Xiao Han very uncomfortable. She even, quite rarely, felt a hint of unease. With the intense emotions contained in her chest having nowhere to vent, she was like a child, seeking Gu Xun'er's gentle kisses, seemingly trying to draw some reassuring strength from them.

When Gu Yuan and a group of Ancient Clan powerhouses arrived, this was the exquisitely beautiful scene they witnessed. The old father lightly coughed, awkwardly averting his gaze. The many powerhouses behind him were no exception, hurriedly looking away, gazing at the sky, the ground, the air—anywhere but at the young couple reuniting after a long separation.

Normally, Gu Xun'er would have shyly pushed Xiao Han away when Gu Yuan and the others arrived. But this time, she seemed oblivious to their presence, maintaining her position and remaining immersed in this prolonged, gentle kiss.

Seeing that the young couple showed no signs of stopping, Gu Yuan could only shake his head, once again inwardly marveling at the energy of youth. He gestured to the powerhouses behind him, and they all silently departed together.

After a long while, the two finally separated. Gu Xun'er's cheeks were slightly flushed, her eyes moist and alluring.

Xiao Han's breath caught slightly, and for a moment, she had an absurd thought.

—She's seducing me.

Gu Xun'er clung tightly to Xiao Han's embrace. She raised her head and, in a voice that sounded like both a command and a plea, softly expressed her need: "Senior Sister, hold me."

How could Xiao Han possibly refuse such a request? She raised her arms and gently embraced Gu Xun'er.

Enveloped in the familiar scent, Gu Xun'er finally calmed down a little. She wrapped her arms around Xiao Han's back, holding her tightly.

This was her Senior Sister, her lover, no longer just a Senior Sister burdened with the responsibilities of a sect, or a pitiful person consumed by hatred.

Her Senior Sister was still alive, living in her world, right in front of her.

All of this was real, not some illusion or fiction.

Keenly detecting Gu Xun'er's unusual emotional fluctuations, Xiao Han tightened her embrace and voiced her concern: "Xun'er?"

"I'm fine, just a bit tired," Gu Xun'er said softly. "Senior Sister, can we go back to our room?"

How could Xiao Han not comply? She immediately agreed, completely forgetting about Gu Yuan and the others.

Raising her hand to tear open space, Xiao Han brought Gu Xun'er back to their room. Once in the room, Gu Xun'er said she wanted to take a bath. Xiao Han watched her enter the bathroom, not quite understanding Gu Xun'er's current state.

[It's possible she gained some insights while breaking through to Dou God,] the system suddenly chimed in with an analysis.

Xiao Han had never broken through to Dou God herself, so she didn't know what the process entailed. She could only accept the system's explanation.

[Speaking of which, Host, how much have you remembered?] The system changed the subject, asking curiously.

Rubbing her brow, Xiao Han's gaze deepened: "Still missing some important parts... but it seems like something is missing, preventing me from breaking through that barrier."

The system made a sound of understanding and asked: [Host, do you remember the thing in the earth's core?]

"Earth's core?" Xiao Han didn't immediately understand what the system was referring to and reflexively asked.

[Has the Host forgotten? In the earth's core cave where we obtained the Green Lotus Core Flame, wasn't there a silver lightning cluster?]

Reminded by the system, Xiao Han then recalled that there indeed had been such an occurrence. Thinking carefully about the lightning cluster deep in the earth's core, Xiao Han felt that it must be the key to remembering everything. After all, the system had mentioned at the time that this lightning cluster possessed her origin aura.

It seems I'll need to find time to visit the earth's core, Xiao Han thought. Just then, she heard the bathroom door open.

Xiao Han instinctively looked up towards the bathroom, but froze in place instantly.

Gu Xun'er, emerging from the bathroom, was wrapped only in a white bath towel. Her fair skin, slightly flushed from the steam, stood out even more starkly against the snow-white towel. Gu Xun'er must have used her Dou Qi to dry her hair, as her smooth, jet-black tresses cascaded over her shoulders. The contrast between her black hair and snow-white skin was so striking that Xiao Han found herself unable to look away.

"Xun'er?" Xiao Han struggled to maintain her composure and indifference, but her words carried a slight tremor, betraying her inner turmoil.

Gu Xun'er held the upper edge of the towel with one hand to prevent it from falling. Barefoot, she walked towards Xiao Han step by step.

For some reason, faced with this version of Gu Xun'er, Xiao Han's first reaction was actually to feel guilty. As Gu Xun'er approached step by step, she instinctively took a step back.

Arriving in front of Xiao Han, Gu Xun'er used her free hand to caress Xiao Han's chest. The movement was very gentle, yet it caused Xiao Han to tremble inexplicably.

Gu Xun'er took another step forward, forcing Xiao Han to retreat a step. This continued, with Gu Xun'er advancing and Xiao Han retreating, until the back of Xiao Han's legs hit the edge of the bed.

With a slight push from the hand on her chest, Xiao Han fell back onto the bed, now more or less aware of what Gu Xun'er intended to do.

Straddling Xiao Han, Gu Xun'er looked down at her from above. Seeing Xiao Han's rare display of vulnerability, Gu Xun'er felt an indescribable sense of pleasure and satisfaction well up in her heart.

With a slight movement of her fingers, the bath towel that barely covered her alluring figure silently slipped away with her motion.

As Gu Xun'er removed the towel, she heard Xiao Han's breathing distinctly grow heavier.

"Xun'er..." Xiao Han, unable to restrain herself, raised her hand to touch the unclothed Gu Xun'er, but was stopped by the person on top of her at the moment of action.

Gu Xun'er caught Xiao Han's hands and pinned them above her head. Gu Xun'er's grip wasn't strong; Xiao Han could have easily broken free, but she didn't. Instead, she allowed Gu Xun'er to restrain her.

Gu Xun'er leaned down and kissed Xiao Han. Compared to their kiss in the forbidden area earlier, this one clearly carried a hint of desire.

While kissing Xiao Han, Gu Xun'er undid Xiao Han's clothes, casually tossing them to the far side of the bed.

Her fingers roamed over Xiao Han's delicate skin, igniting the most primal desires. Xiao Han's silver eyes grew hazy. She wasn't frigid; how could she not feel anything when the person she loved was kindling fires all over her body?

"Senior Sister..." Gu Xun'er licked Xiao Han's lips, her kisses gradually moving downward. The delicate kisses traveled from her lips, down her chin, neck, collarbone, chest, and finally landed on Xiao Han's supple and powerful abdomen.

As the kiss fell on her abdomen, Xiao Han's entire body trembled, and she couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. She instinctively bit her lower lip hard, swallowing back the moan that was about to escape.

Gu Xun'er propped herself up, her smile more bewitching than Xiao Han had ever seen before, instantly captivating her entire being.

"Senior Sister, don't hold back, okay?" Gu Xun'er released Xiao Han's hands and instead gently placed them on Xiao Han's face, using her fingers to delicately trace her features, finally resting on Xiao Han's lips.

Following her movements, Xiao Han suddenly felt her mouth go dry.

Chuckling softly, Gu Xun'er leaned down again. The hand that had been tracing Xiao Han's features began to move downward, following her exquisite curves to reach an unexplored territory.

Xiao Han took a low, deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.

Moments later, sounds that would make one blush and their heart race filled the room.

The night passed without further words.
