One of Spirit Hall's Three Beauties Has Fallen

Chi Xiu was led to the Papal Hall by several guards. As they looked at the palace before them, they suddenly hesitated.

As guards, coming here was already against the rules. Besides, they had heard that Her Holiness the Pope was temperamental, disliked seeing men, and forbade men from entering the places where she lived.

Though the circumstances were special this time, they were still uneasy.

Just then, the guards saw a young woman approaching from afar. One of them immediately called out, "Holy Maiden!"

Hearing him, Hu Liena noticed the scene here and slowly walked over.

It was the first time the guards had seen the Holy Maiden herself from such close range, and every one of them swallowed foolishly.

Hu Liena was indeed dazzlingly beautiful.

She had a head of short golden hair, fair and delicate skin, enchanting eyes, and moist, glossy red lips. She wore an orange-yellow leather miniskirt and high boots. Beneath the skirt were her round, pale legs, while her swaying waist was like a willow in spring. Though still a young woman, every inch of her exuded a bewitching, seductive charm.

"Why did you call me?"

"We found the person Her Holiness the Pope has been searching for!"

"Oh?"

Chi Xiu turned to look at Hu Liena, his expression somewhat strange.

Damn it, Hu Liena got to me first...

Sure enough, Hu Liena's expression changed instantly. Her beautiful eyes widened, and she was too shocked to speak.

Chi Xiu was much taller than when she had seen him on the bed that day, but his face had barely changed. It was this face!

The face that had haunted Hu Liena's dreams for days.

"Holy Maiden, we found him. About that reward..."

"Get lost."

Hu Liena bit her red lips and stared fixedly at Chi Xiu. Her beautiful eyes flickered as she forced the word "get lost" through clenched teeth at the guards.

Seeing the Holy Maiden like this, the guards instantly lost all desire to ask for a reward. They hurriedly scurried toward the gates.

"You finally appeared!"

Hu Liena rushed at Chi Xiu impatiently, shoved him against the wall, and pinned him there herself.

Chi Xiu had now grown to nearly the same height as Hu Liena. Their faces were extremely close, close enough for them to smell each other's scent.

Hu Liena carried a faint fragrance, one as seductive as her gaze.

For some reason, seeing Chi Xiu again made Hu Liena incredibly happy. Yet when she thought of what had happened on the bed last time, she was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear, her heart pounding wildly.

This damn brat was ridiculously handsome. One move from him had directly stolen the soul of Hu Liena, who excelled at seduction, and kept it captive for days.

"Tell me, you... why did you do that to me last time?"

I knew she'd ask that... Chi Xiu got a headache.

Hu Liena moved closer step by step, her full chest already pressing against Chi Xiu. Flustered and annoyed, she said, "Say something!"

Left with no choice, Chi Xiu came up with an excuse. It was not entirely a lie.

"You're beautiful. I couldn't help using that method..."

"Smooth talker..."

Though Hu Liena complained aloud, her face grew even redder.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuena stood to one side with her arms crossed. She glared displeasedly at the two acting so "intimately," and her gaze toward Hu Liena in particular was full of hostility.

"Master, while I wasn't by your side these past few days, you certainly hooked up with quite a few human girls. Just like you, hmph."

"Go away!"

"What?! You told me to go away?!"

Hu Liena widened her pretty eyes.

"No, no, I wasn't talking about you!"

"Then who were you talking about?!"

Chi Xiu looked at Gu Yuena, only for the white-haired beauty to snort, turn around, and sulkily face away from him.

"I wasn't talking about anyone. You probably misheard."

Chi Xiu did not know whether to laugh or cry. When this woman got jealous, she was truly deadly.

"Hey, what's your name? Why did you appear on my bed that day?"

Hu Liena's eyes flickered. Over the past few days, she had imagined countless possibilities. Every one of them made her blush furiously. A young woman's thoughts were simple, and Chi Xiu was exceptionally handsome, so she could only think in ways she was willing to accept.

"My name is... Gu Yue. As for why I appeared on your bed, that's a secret. I can't tell you."

As Chi Xiu said this, he glanced at Gu Yuena. The white-haired beauty immediately rolled her eyes at him, her jealousy almost tangible.

"Hmph! I'm taking you to see Teacher. You must be full of bad intentions. Let's see how she deals with you then!"

After saying that, Hu Liena directly grabbed Chi Xiu's hand. But after taking only a few steps, she stopped again, her delicate brows knitting together.

"No, what exactly did you do for Teacher to make such a big effort to find you? Will she..."

Hu Liena did not finish. She bit her red lips, looking troubled.

Chi Xiu leaned his head closer. "Are you worried about me?"

"Peh, peh, peh!"

Hu Liena suddenly turned her head away in panic, as if her thoughts had been exposed. "A pervert like you deserves to be chopped in half by Teacher!"

"Come with me! I'd have to be out of my mind to worry about a little pervert like you!"

Hu Liena led Chi Xiu from the front, like an older sister dragging along her younger brother. Chi Xiu found it amusing. If every prisoner were escorted as warmly as this, the execution ground would not seem so terrifying.

...Why did meeting Bibi Dong really feel like walking toward the execution ground? Chi Xiu suddenly grew a little nervous.

"Scared now, aren't you? You're about to meet Teacher."

"A little, actually!"

Hu Liena turned back toward Chi Xiu. After hesitating for a while, she asked uncertainly, "Then... considering you're still young, is this your first offense?"

"No."

"My heavens... it isn't even your first offense?!"

Hu Liena gritted her teeth in anger. "You... you... I really don't know what to say to you!"

"Do you know you were wrong, then?!"

"I don't."

"Pfft!"

Hu Liena nearly coughed up blood. She had offered this brat a way out, yet he refused to take it.

"Leave! Go as far away as you can!"

"Why would you let me go? I want to see Bibi Dong."

Chi Xiu spoke solemnly. Nervous or not, he was already here. He still had to see her.

Besides, Bibi Dong would not do anything to him. Even if she did, with the cards Chi Xiu currently held and Gu Yuena, a peak figure of the continent, by his side, even a Limit Douluo could not harm a single hair on his head.

"You! You're beyond saving! Hurry up and leave. Teacher has a terrible temper. I don't know what you did, but if you make her angry, you'll suffer the consequences."

Hu Liena took both of Chi Xiu's hands and stood before him, earnestly trying to persuade him.

This little fox is quite kindhearted... Chi Xiu stared into those beautiful eyes. Pulling his hands free, he raised his right index finger and lightly scraped the bridge of Hu Liena's nose. "I didn't expect you to be so kind. Don't worry, I'll be fine. At worst, I'll get my butt spanked. My skin is thick—I'm not afraid."

Hu Liena froze for a moment, then immediately turned around. Her face was crimson, and her breathing quickened.

She had been flirted with again by this damn brat who looked far younger than her!

"Since you insist, then go see Teacher!"

Hu Liena did not turn around because her face was still red. She stretched a fair, slender hand behind her, and Chi Xiu smiled as he took it. The two walked hand in hand toward the Papal Hall.
