Peach Blossom Dual Cultivation - Chapter 46: I Want to Be Your Woman

The two embraced tightly, and Zhou Lang immediately felt the firm yet soft pressure of Ivanova’s chest against him. His heart started racing. Recently, he had been getting close to many attractive women, and he often found himself in situations that stirred his desires—it was easy for his thoughts to turn toward passion.

Ivanova, on the other hand, was emotional, holding onto Zhou Lang as if afraid he might disappear.

It was the weekend, and despite the early hour, quite a few people were walking along the riverside. Ivanova, being a striking beauty, drew even more attention with her public display of affection—clinging tightly to a man.

Damn, I don’t even have a girlfriend, and this guy gets a mixed-race beauty delivered to him on a silver platter. Life is so unfair!

Many men who witnessed the scene were filled with envy, jealousy, and frustration.

While Zhou Lang and Ivanova remained in their embrace, a few men nearby kept glancing at them. However, their gazes were different from those of ordinary onlookers.

With Zhou Lang’s level of cultivation, he quickly noticed the unusual behavior of these men. However, he didn’t take it to heart and didn’t mention it to Ivanova. He was no longer the same man as before—people without any inner strength posed no threat to him.

“Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?”

Zhou Lang asked, noticing the shadows under Ivanova’s eyes.

“It’s because of you. I haven’t slept well for two nights. I’ve made up my mind—I want to be your woman,” Ivanova said seriously.

“Then why were you so jealous on the phone earlier, worried that I was getting cozy with Li Mengxue? If you’re going to be my woman, you’ll need to accept that I have other women too. No unnecessary jealousy,” Zhou Lang said with a slight smile. He wasn’t the kind of man who let love or beautiful women cloud his judgment. If he decided to be with a woman, he would always think long-term.

Zhou Lang was touched that Ivanova had decided so quickly to be with him. After all, in this mundane world, having multiple women would certainly draw gossip. Any woman willing to make such a sacrifice for him must truly love him.

“I like you, so of course I’ll feel jealous when I see you with other women. But I’ll learn to control my feelings because you’re no ordinary man. I can’t judge you by normal standards,” Ivanova said earnestly.

“Good. From today onward, you’re my woman, and I’ll protect you,” Zhou Lang said, planting a kiss on her cheek.

“Let me take care of those dark circles for you. Otherwise, people will think I’ve been mistreating you.”

“Can dark circles disappear like that?”

Ivanova asked, a bit skeptical.

“Have you forgotten who I am?”

Zhou Lang replied with a grin.

“Then hurry up and fix them. I look like a panda, and that’s not cute at all,” Ivanova said excitedly. Like most women, she cared deeply about her appearance, especially as a stunning beauty.

“Let’s go to that park by the river. We need to keep a low profile—I don’t want anyone seeing my special techniques,” Zhou Lang said, pointing toward the park. He suggested this partly to avoid drawing attention to his extraordinary abilities and partly to see if the men watching them would follow, revealing their intentions.

“Alright, let’s go,” Ivanova said, linking her arm through Zhou Lang’s as they walked toward the park.

“Someone’s been watching us,” Zhou Lang whispered as they walked.

“Really?”

Ivanova asked, surprised. She had been so focused on Zhou Lang that she hadn’t noticed anything unusual.

“Don’t look back. I’m drawing them out,” Zhou Lang said.

“Don’t worry, you’re safe with me.”

Ivanova trusted Zhou Lang’s capabilities, so she wasn’t worried. A few minutes later, they arrived at a small grove in the riverside park. The area was quiet, with no one else around.

“Close your eyes,” Zhou Lang said.

“I’ve got a surprise for you.”

Ivanova obediently closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Zhou Lang’s waist as he gently massaged her eyelids.

His touch was light, and the energy flowing from his hands into Ivanova’s eyes began to nourish the skin around them.

With Zhou Lang’s inherited family medical skills, removing dark circles for his woman was a simple task.

“That feels so good,” Ivanova said, unable to help herself. She hadn’t slept well for two nights, and her eyes had been aching. But under Zhou Lang’s massage, the discomfort gradually disappeared.

“All done. Take a look in the mirror,” Zhou Lang said with a smile a few minutes later.

“Wow, that’s amazing!”

Ivanova exclaimed, pulling a small mirror from her bag and checking her reflection. Her dark circles were completely gone, and she almost jumped for joy.

“This is just a little trick for me,” Zhou Lang said, a bit proud.

“Brother Lang, you’re incredible,” Ivanova said sweetly, wrapping her arms around his neck. She kissed him on the lips and giggled, “That’s your reward.”

“Well, well, look at this! Is she a foreigner or a mixed-race girl? So open! Making out in a park grove… Are they planning to take it further with some wild action?”

At that moment, five rough-looking men walked into the grove. The bald leader sneered as he spoke.

These five men were the same ones who had been watching Zhou Lang and Ivanova by the river. They had followed them here.

“Who are you guys?”

Zhou Lang asked calmly, glancing at the group.

“Why the hell do you care who we are? I just saw your girl being so open, and I figured you couldn’t handle her, so I thought I’d help you out,” the bald man said, his gaze shamelessly lingering on Ivanova’s body.

“Enough pretending. You were watching us by the river. Someone must have sent you. What’s your purpose? Just say it,” Zhou Lang replied coolly.

“Well, well, you’re a sharp one,” the bald man said in surprise, then smirked.

“You must be Zhou Lang, right? Someone hired us to rough you up, take that girl, and warn you to stay away from her. If we see you with her again, we’ll beat you every time.”

He turned to his four lackeys and said, “Alright, boys, let’s get to work. Beat him until he looks like a pig, but don’t hurt the mixed-race beauty. You know I’ve got a soft spot for pretty ladies.”

The four men responded eagerly, moving toward Zhou Lang.

“Brother Lang, let me handle these guys,” Ivanova said. She was a black belt in judo, so dealing with a few thugs wouldn’t be a problem.

“You’re my woman. How could I let you fight?”

Zhou Lang said.

“I’ll take care of them.”

“You’re so good to me, Brother Lang,” Ivanova said softly.

“Still flirting at a time like this? You’re asking for it now.”

The four thugs were furious that Zhou Lang and Ivanova were ignoring them. They charged forward, ready to tear them apart and give Zhou Lang a serious beating.
