Tang Yue's refusal was clearly feeble, and there was no way Tang Miao would listen to her at a time like this~ Especially when he saw her holding back her voice, occasionally letting out a soft whimper before forcing herself to stop, Tang Miao became even more mischievous.
He held her and turned them around. Tang Yue, whose feet had originally been on the ground, suddenly found herself being held against a tree.
"Whew~ ...Can we go back?"
Tang Yue gazed at Tang Miao with pleading eyes. Although she was usually very assertive, inside this cave domain, she was merely a little white rabbit being watched by a great gray wolf. She had no strength left to resist at all...
"No. I haven't enjoyed enough of West Lake's beautiful scenery yet."
Tang Miao refused without even thinking. Since they had come to such a beautiful West Lake, how could they not explore the cave in the middle of the lake and see how deep it went?
Tang Yue wanted to refuse, but Tang Miao had already entered. It seemed that his hands alone could not provide enough release or let him clearly understand more, so Tang Miao instructed, "Hold me tight."
Although Tang Yue did not want to continue, whenever Tang Miao gave an order, she hugged him tightly. Caves were ultimately rather dangerous, and exploring while carrying her was somewhat cumbersome for Tang Miao. To keep herself from falling, Tang Yue also wrapped her legs around him.
Tang Miao was very satisfied and continued deeper. There was nothing in the cave, and it occasionally contracted. If his hands had not been freed, allowing him to control the little one and distract himself, he might have had to withdraw.
He had to admit, this really was a good opportunity to train himself to multitask~
After exploring inside the cave for a full hour, Tang Miao finally withdrew. After leaving the lake and taking a breath, he plunged back in again... He had no idea what was in there. In any case, he kept exploring tirelessly.
Just as the two of them had been "exhausted" after three hours of exploration and were about to discover something, they suddenly heard footsteps approaching. At the sound, Tang Miao became displeased! This was a crucial moment—he might be able to complete his objective soon—yet someone had to come?
Under Tang Yue's pleading gaze, Tang Miao had no choice but to speed up, ultimately completing his masterpiece one step ahead of them. He then left the warm lake and carried Tang Yue, limp as soft clay, up into the tree in a single leap.
At that moment, a handsome man and a beautiful woman arrived. It seemed they also wanted to explore the secrets of the cave?
Tang Miao grumbled unhappily, "You ruined my good time, and you still want to explore here?"
"Let's go~" After recovering somewhat in the tree, Tang Yue's face flushed. Without looking at the newcomers, she pulled Tang Miao along to leave.
Tang Miao smiled and said, "You go on ahead and wait for me. I'll be right there."
"No!" Tang Yue did not waste words. The moment she cast shadow magic, she took Tang Miao away from the place.
After leaving the woods, Tang Miao was no longer acting like he was second only to the heavens. Instead, he followed behind Tang Yue like an obedient puppy, behaving meekly in every way~
There was nothing he could do. This was not a place where he could use his domain, so he could not act tough even if he wanted to~
Tang Yue's anger lasted only a short while. Before they even left West Lake, Tang Miao had already teased her into giggling nonstop.
After leaving West Lake, Tang Yue complained, "Look what you did. We didn't even finish touring West Lake, and it's already dark!"
"Although we didn't finish touring West Lake, didn't we still leave behind some unforgettable memories there?" Tang Miao said indifferently. But he seemed to feel that something was off, so he added, "Besides, no scenery is as beautiful as you~ Just looking at you has already made me lose interest in the scenery of the entire world."
"Bah!" Tang Yue looked at him with disdain and gave a light snort. "I'll believe you when I'm old and faded, and you still say that."
"Don't worry. Even if you're seventy or eighty, with yellow teeth and bad breath, I still won't dislike you."
Tang Yue instantly became displeased. Imagining herself as Tang Miao had described, she felt it would be better to die... "Bah, aren't you disgusting? You're the one with yellow teeth and bad breath."
Seeing how unable Tang Yue was to accept it, Tang Miao smiled and said, "Everyone grows old. No matter how well you maintain your youthful appearance, it will ultimately last only a few decades."
Tang Yue fell silent for a moment before looking at Tang Miao and asking very seriously, "A few decades from now, when I'm old... will you still love me?"
Tang Miao nodded. "You're the one I raised from childhood. When we're both white-haired, I'll accompany you to find a quiet place and live out the rest of our lives in seclusion."
"Bah~"
The moment she heard Tang Miao say that he had raised her, Tang Yue became unhappy! After all, who had raised whom? Didn't he know that himself?
"Hehe..."
Tang Yue linked her arm with Tang Miao's and rested her head against his arm, looking like a little girl. Tang Miao was naturally more than happy to enjoy the softness~
The two of them strolled along the road. At that moment, Tang Miao also began chatting seriously with Tang Yue.
Regarding the drastic change in Tang Miao from before to after, Tang Yue tidied her dark hair and complained helplessly, "Honestly, do you have to be fed first every time before you can have a proper conversation?"
Tang Miao looked at the beauty beside him with a pained expression. "Sis, I'm already eighteen! Do you know how I've gotten through these years...?"
Tang Yue was no longer a child, and she was older than Tang Miao. How could she not understand what he meant? Thinking back, Tang Miao had indeed been able to endure all this time. That truly took remarkable determination.
Tang Yue stopped and looked at Tang Miao in confusion. "I've always been right beside you. Why did you have to endure it?"
"Although your big brother is a little shameless, my love for you is sincere. So unless you're willing, I won't touch you," Tang Miao said solemnly.
The main point was that when Tang Yue was at her most alluring and mature, she had already begun learning magic! How could he not maintain his resolve?
They had lived together for over ten years, so how could Tang Yue possibly believe that? She continued, "But this time, I was affected too. Why didn't you buy me suppressants?"
"I was afraid they'd have side effects. Besides, didn't you already accept me back in Bo City?"
"That's true... I didn't refuse you before because I didn't love you. I was just afraid you wouldn't cherish me... But that time, even with Demon Beasts everywhere, you still came to save me. That was when I realized I was the one who had been wrong..."
As Tang Yue spoke, she took the initiative to offer her red lips and gave him a light kiss before continuing, "I never expected that only a few years after your Magic Awakening, you'd already be able to protect me."
For once, Tang Miao was not grinning mischievously. He looked at Tang Yue seriously and said, "In my heart, you'll always be the most important."
After a round of mutual confessions and kisses, Tang Yue asked in confusion on their way back, "By the way, Miao, how did you find me so quickly in Bo City?"
She had never had the chance to ask about it—or perhaps she had simply forgotten. Now that they had mentioned Bo City, Tang Yue remembered and asked him.
Tang Miao froze...
After hesitating for a moment, he took out the item he had carefully kept.
When Tang Yue saw the familiar object Tang Miao had taken out, she instantly became both embarrassed and furious. After smacking Tang Miao once, she turned and left angrily. However, she ultimately did not take away the underwear that belonged to her.
Tang Miao rubbed his head and watched that graceful figure, especially her perky, bouncing rear. He muttered to himself, "I'm a normal man too..."
