Time passes quietly in the bustling and strolling, and before you know it, it's almost midnight.
The hustle and bustle of Heaven Dou City has not completely subsided, but it is much quieter than the previous bustle.
There were only a few pedestrians on the street, and most of the shops were closed, leaving only a few wine shops and night market stalls with lights on.
Ye Qing and Ah Yin were also tired of shopping.
Ye Qing bought several exquisite Soul Tool models and snacks.
Ah Yin picked two elegant silk scarves and several accessories with a marine flavor.
"Go back, sister Ah Yin." Ye Qing yawned a little.
"Yeah." Ah Yin responded softly, with a hint of weariness in his voice.
The two of them changed directions and walked towards the hotel.
In the room, candlelight is bright.
However, the expected deserted scene did not appear.
I saw Sea Dragon Douluo, sitting at the round table in the center of the room, playing with an empty teacup in his hand, his face so gloomy that it could drip water, and his whole body exuded a low pressure of "Keep strangers away, I am very unhappy".
He has obviously been back for a while, and his mood is... extremely unpleasant.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Sea Dragon Douluo slowly raised his head, his eyes like two cold searchlights scanning Ye Qing and Ah Yin who walked in.
When he saw the two men carrying large and small bags that were obviously shopping trophies.
Especially when he saw Ah Yin, although he was covered with a veil, he could still see a trace of relaxation and comfort in his eyebrows, the gloomy look on his face instantly became a little darker.
He put down the empty cup in his hand and made a gentle "dong" sound, breaking the awkward silence in the room.
Then, he used an extremely weird tone that was mixed with displeasure, sarcasm, and a hint of unspeakable resentment, and he joked in a sinister manner:
"Hey~ You are finally willing to come back? You two."
His eyes glanced back and forth between Ye Qing and Ah Yin, and finally settled on Ah Yin. His eyes seemed to be looking at some disaster:
"Is this Heaven Dou City night view so beautiful? After walking around for so long? Why..."
Sea Dragon Douluo paused, and the sarcasm in his tone became stronger, almost thorny:
"If you don't go outside, just get a room and continue talking by candlelight and admiring the night scenery? Why are you coming back?"
These words are almost naked ridicule and humiliation.
Especially for a woman like Ah Yin.
Ah Yin Hearing this, her delicate body trembled almost unnoticeably.
She lowered her head, her long eyelashes drooping, covering the emotions in her blue eyes.
The red lips under the veil were pursed tightly, and her hands subconsciously clenched the small cloth bag containing the silk scarf in her hands, her knuckles turning slightly white.
She didn't seem to expect that Sea Dragon Douluo would say such mean words. For a moment, she was shocked, ashamed, and even a little offended, but she didn't know how to respond.
He could only stand there silently, like a child who had done something wrong.
However, just when Ah Yin felt embarrassed and at a loss because of Sea Dragon Douluo's words--
Ye Qing, who had been standing in front of her, changed his face in an instant.
If we look at Ye Qing when we were shopping before, he was relaxed, curious and cunning as a child.
So at this moment, all the relaxation, leisurely, and even fatigue on his face disappeared completely like the tide the moment Sea Dragon Douluo finished speaking!
Instead, there was a heart-stopping coldness!
There was no expression on his still childish little face.
There is only a pair of dark and clear eyes, which seem to be condensed with thousands of years of ice at this moment, shooting straight at Sea Dragon Douluo who is sitting at the table with a sarcastic look!
The air in the room seemed to be drained out instantly at this moment!
Temperature drops!
"Sea, dragon."
Ye Qing spoke.
The sound is not loud, and is even crisper than usual.
But every word seems to be squeezed out from between the teeth, with a kind of scalp-numbing coldness and unquestionable majesty!
"You, take what you just said..."
He repeated slowly and word by word:
"Say it again."
"!!!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Ah Yin, but also Sea Dragon Douluo himself, who was originally a bit of an inquisitor and venting his dissatisfaction, was shaken all over, as if he had been struck by an invisible lightning bolt.
Did he... did he hear correctly?
Young Master...
To use such a tone...
Talk to him?
This...
Is this still the young master Ye Qing he knows, who is sometimes eccentric, but always respects him, "Uncle Sea Dragon", and even acts coquettishly?
Sea Dragon Douluo was completely confused.
He originally thought that the young master would at best fool him with his reminding and dissatisfying teasing.
Or explain it a little bit, maybe even feel a little embarrassed because of being caught.
After all, in his opinion, the young master was young and playful, so it was understandable that he would be "bewitched" by this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast transformed, really good-looking woman, and Shi Xing accompany him to go shopping together.
After a little "clicking" on his own, the young master should be able to understand what is wrong, and he will naturally be careful to keep his distance in the future.
After all, one is the designated successor of Sea God. The future Sea God has an extremely noble status and represents the glory and majesty of Sea God!
The other one is the incarnation of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, who is not of my race, and is a resource coveted by countless Soul Master!
How can these two be mixed together?
If word spreads, what will other forces think of Sea God Island?
What should we think of Lord Sea God?
Do you think that the heir of Sea God has fallen in love with the beast?
In Sea Dragon Douluo's relatively traditional and even somewhat old-fashioned understanding, this is an absolutely unacceptable stain and risk!
That's why after seeing Ye Qing and Ah Yin returning from "intimate" shopping, he couldn't help but remind and express his dissatisfaction in that way.
But he never expected that the young master's reaction would be so... intense!
So... no mercy!
That cold look, that angry tone, that unabashed protective gesture...
Everything shows that Ye Qing cares more about this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast than he imagined!
Even...
It may have touched some kind of evil in the young master!
Sea Dragon Douluo froze on the spot and opened his mouth, but something seemed to be blocked in his throat and he couldn't say a word.
Facing Ye Qing's cold and piercing gaze, he felt an unprecedented palpitation and pressure!
It's not just oppression from identity, it seems to be a kind of...
A higher level of majesty that made his soul tremble was revealed from those clear but cold eyes!
Ye Qing looked at Sea Dragon Douluo who was so shocked that he was speechless and even slightly frightened. The coldness in his eyes did not dissipate.
"Sea Dragon, remember it for me."
Ye Qing's voice is still cold, but it carries a firm and unquestionable decision:
"Your identity is that of Sea God Island. You are a guard, an executor, and... a subordinate."
"You are not sister Bo Saixi, let alone Lord Sea God herself!"
"You are not qualified... to ask, to interfere, or even to criticize... my affairs! My choice! Who I... want to be with and what I want to do!"
Every word he spoke was extremely clear, like a heavy hammer hitting Sea Dragon Douluo's heart:
"Also, watch your mouth. Don't talk nonsense here!"
Ye Qing's gaze was like a cold blade, scraping across Sea Dragon Douluo's face:
"Especially... this kind of boring topic that involves other people's reputation, is baseless, and only makes you appear narrow-minded and stupid!"
