Chapter 164

Sheng Bailan looked at Xiao Minghuang with a complicated expression, and a hint of anger rose in her eyes.

"I had no idea you had Dao Companion besides Ye Ruoshui!"

"How can a young girl like you be so fickle?"

"You're only a teenager, and you've already found two Dao Companion. How can you possibly like both of them?"

Sheng Bailan didn't hold back in criticizing her.

She was originally Xiao Minghuang's senior, and had always treated Xiao Minghuang as a junior.

Although physical intimacy brought about a qualitative change in their relationship, their interactions remained largely the same as before.

Therefore, when she found out that Xiao Minghuang had Outer Dao partner behind her back, her first reaction was to scold her, calling her a heartless womanizer!

Looking at Xiao Minghuang being scolded, Lin Wanqiu suddenly felt confused. Wasn't this script wrong?

Why didn't His Highness's new favorite target her and subtly compete for his favor? Instead, she criticized His Highness instead.

Moreover, it was delivered in a lecturing tone.

In a daze, she felt that this Sect Master was like an elder with a sharp tongue but a kind heart.

Could it be that there isn't actually the kind of relationship between His Highness and Sect Master that she believes?

Was she the only one imagining things from beginning to end?

Lin Wanqiu's mind was in turmoil.

She didn't know whether she should believe His Highness; perhaps she really had misunderstood?

Suddenly being lectured, Xiao Minghuang's face was filled with embarrassment. She hadn't thought about how to introduce the two of them before, and now that it was time to do it, she could only improvise.

After all, this is something we'll have to face sooner or later; it's unavoidable.

"... Bai Lan, have you forgotten our promise?"

Sheng Bailan, who was launching into a long and eloquent critique of Xiao Minghuang, suddenly seemed to freeze in place, as if she had a lapse in concentration.

A slight blush appeared on her fair and delicate face. She blinked and finally heard the words coming from the mouth.

"I will certainly not go back on my promise to you regarding the three things I promised, but our relationship..."

That's all.

Xiao Minghuang's expression suddenly changed, and he took a step forward, pulling Sheng Bailan into his arms.

Caught off guard, Sheng Bailan nearly bit her tongue as she crashed straight into Xiao Minghuang's soft bosom.

Then, he forcefully kissed her lips.

This action interrupted Sheng Bailan's words, but shocked another person present.

Lin Wanqiu stared wide-eyed at the scene before her, frozen in place, unable to move.

Your Highness... and Sect Master...

They've stuck them on!?????

She stood there completely stunned.

I can't believe my eyes

It happened right before my eyes.

Is this a dream?

If it's a dream, when will I wake up?

Should she pinch her own cheek?

Should I slap myself?

Will that hurt?

Or should she step in and dispel this nightmare?

What if this isn't a dream?

What should she do?

Why did Your Highness suddenly do this?

Are you tired of her?

But His Highness just said she was his Dao Companion, was he lying to her?

Why say such things in front of Sect Master Sheng? Wouldn't that just create more trouble?

She doesn't understand!

She can't see through it!

Is the prince before me real, or an illusion?

She can't tell the difference!

In an instant, she felt her blood and qi surging, and her spiritual energy becoming somewhat disordered.

She felt she was sick, very sick.

She felt dizzy.

She couldn't see Xiao Minghuang 'Xiao Minghuang face clearly, nor could she hear his voice.

I just felt my body getting lighter and lighter, more and more ethereal.

The next moment.

Lin Wanqiu was completely dizzy; she swayed and fell backward.

As she fell, she felt as if she had fallen into a pair of soft yet strong arms.

The next second.

Her body fell into a warm and soft embrace.

She opened her eyes.

The scene before me gradually became clear.

Xiao Minghuang was looking at her with worried eyes.

She murmured, savoring the familiar scent emanating from Xiao Minghuang.

"Why?"

Xiao Minghuang, her face full of guilt, said:

"Sorry..."

Without needing to say more, Lin Wanqiu understood completely.

What just happened was all staged for her.

She had expected His Highness to bring this up, but she hadn't anticipated it would be so direct, so... shocking!

What she just witnessed was like a sharp knife piercing her heart, viciously stabbing the softest spot within her!

She didn't ask His Highness to remain chaste for her, but she hoped that everything could happen in a gentle way.

Instead of arriving so suddenly.

Completely unprepared.

"I... I..."

Lin Wanqiu opened her mouth, hesitated for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.

She should have said something harsh to make His Highness understand that she was not the kind of woman who could be manipulated.

But the words stuck in my throat.

Because once you speak up, it might mean giving up.

This means elimination.

This means that there is no longer any possibility between her and His Highness.

Perhaps she should have just been patient and waited for the right day.

She is still young, and she has a very long time to plan, to scheme, and to wait for changes to happen.

She can wait.

Waiting for an opportunity.

She once read a sentence in a book.

Fortune changes every thirty years, so never underestimate a young person's potential!

She should be patient, wait for the right opportunity, and wait for things to change.

During this period, I continuously improved myself.

A wise man keeps his talents hidden until the right time to act.

After some time of deliberation, Lin Wanqiu finally calmed down.

"Your Highness, I have other matters to attend to, so I will not disturb you and Sect Master any longer."

He finished speaking.

Lin Wanqiu turned and ran.

But.

How could Xiao Minghuang possibly give her that opportunity?

She knew that if she just let her get away like this...

It seems the rift between the two can never be mended.

So she reached out and suddenly pulled Lin Wanqiu into her arms.

She lowered her head and forcefully kissed Lin Wanqiu's lips.

A delicate citrus scent wafted into Lin Wanqiu's nostrils.

Her body stiffened.

Besides the familiar scent of His Highness, there was another, unfamiliar fragrance.

It's that woman.

Her body was trembling.

My heart aches terribly.

Her heart started racing, and she felt a burning sensation on her face, as if she had been slapped.

She struggled desperately, trying to break free from Xiao Minghuang's grasp.

However, Xiao Minghuang held her firmly in his arms.

Lin Wanqiu tried her best, but she couldn't break free from Xiao Minghuang's grip.

Her lips and teeth were filled with His Highness's scent.

So familiar.

She felt her heart beating faster and faster.

A dull ache throbs in my chest.

More than anything, I like it.

She cannot escape her true feelings.
