"Mm, what is it?"
Gu Sheng had been shaken awake in bed. When he opened his bleary eyes, the sky outside the window was still somewhat dim. It seemed quite early.
"You can leave now!"
Dongfang Xiong's cool voice sounded beside him. The dignified and stunning beauty covered herself with the brocade quilt to prevent herself from being exposed. Her gaze at Gu Sheng was extremely complicated; beneath a trace of resentment lurked a faint, indescribable emotion.
"Chasing me away this early because you're afraid someone will see?"
Gu Sheng sidled over with a grin, pulling away the brocade quilt to feast his eyes and even reaching out to touch her. He did not forget to tease her, either. "Speaking of which, the Martial Alliance Leader's mother really is impressive. You've left the Heavenly Venerable Envoy of the Heaven and Earth Alliance unable to tear himself away!"
Dongfang Xiong was flustered and embarrassed as she pushed Gu Sheng, urging him to leave quickly. Her tone even carried a hint of pleading. "It's already daytime. Don't fool around."
"If you want me to leave, that's fine, Madam. Have you heard of the 'good morning bite'? It's a unique way of waking people up from the Western Regions!"
Gu Sheng looked at Dongfang Xiong with a beaming smile, rubbing her rounded nape and beautiful head. The dignified beauty truly had no way to deal with him. She could only use Golden Phoenix Neck Break, lowering her head in submission.
By the time Gu Sheng left Eight Treasures Villa, he was thoroughly refreshed. Whenever he thought of that noble, aloof beauty taking the initiative to serve him, an extraordinary sense of satisfaction surged through him. His control over this incarnated body of the Flame God rose another level.
"Leader!"
"Leader!"
"Fl—Le, Leader!"
