After Xu Bayan and Ning Fengyu left, Xu Huxiao looked at the Soul Bone in his hand and smiled, and the piece of Soul Bone Doudou came to his hand.
"Now as long as the solidification energy of Dragon-Scaled Black Tortoise Head Soul Bone in the body is digested, it can be seamlessly connected and the Five-Colored Heavenly Pearl of Yun Ji can be used to decompose and absorb this piece of Arm Soul Bone."
"Moreover, this time the absorption can be switched to Shrek Martial Soul to prevent Twin Arms Martial Soul Skill from being sealed again."
Then, he looked at the letter next to the brocade box, which probably contained the conspiracy of Little Witch Orleans.
But now that Xu Huxiao has received the real benefit from Soul Bone, he is not afraid of these little tricks, and then he opens the envelope.
Letter:
'Xu Huxiao, I want to tell you, I like you!'
'I, Orleans, am a person who dares to love and hate. The reason why I confronted you before, said I hated you, and lost my temper with you was because I fell in love with you, but you ignored me and didn't care about me at all, so I wanted to do this to attract your attention.'
'I don't know when I started to pay attention to you. Maybe it was when we met for a bet at the auction house for the second time, maybe when I was in the college with senior class Soul Fighting, or maybe when I was watching your first exclusive assessment Soul Fighting...'
'Anyway, it wasn't the first time I awakened Martial Soul. At that time, I thought your talent was not as good as mine. I didn't expect you to be so powerful now.'
'Not when we met at Thousand Islands Lake, because I already liked you by then.'
'I don't know what I like about you, but among all the people I come into contact with, you are as obvious as a dazzling sun, which attracts me deeply. Your every word and deed affects my heart, making me want to get closer involuntarily.'
"It may be your maturity, it may be your handsomeness, it may be your concentration, it may be your coldness, it may be that you are always calm and confident in dealing with all problems, and you always have a solution..."
"If I were asked to write down the reasons why I like you, I probably wouldn't be able to finish it for days or nights. And the longer I stay in contact with you, the more and more these reasons will become bit by bit, until I am completely overwhelmed."
'So, I, who have already fallen and the temperature is close to a hundred degrees, will have such a big reaction when I encounter your zero-degree indifference.'
'This is my fault, but you have to forgive me~'
'The bad thing here is not that I shouldn't like you, but that I should tell you straightforwardly and let you know my passionate love, instead of letting you guess and then hate me because of my inexplicable behavior.'
'But, I know now, so I decided to bravely express my love to you.'
'I hope, I hope you like me too.'
'Even if you don't like me now, you will definitely like me in the future. With this engagement, we will have more time to get to know each other in the future. I read in the book that this is called marriage first, love later.'
'I know you really want this Soul Bone, so I brought it. Xu Huxiao, I want to say sorry to you for being inexplicable or losing your temper before.'
'Then let's start over.'
'You also like Orleans.'
After reading the letter, Xu Huxiao subconsciously looked to see if there was anyone around Martial Arena, then coughed dryly, and put the letter and the brocade box containing Soul Bone into Storage Soul Tool Twin Dragon Rings without leaving a trace.
"It seems quite sincere. Regardless of whether this is Little Witch's conspiracy, there is absolutely no problem in getting Soul Bone first. Soul Bone is a rare resource, and it has such a great effect on me. Even if we encounter it again later, it will take time."
"As for the engagement, let's take it one step at a time before deciding."
After figuring it out, Xu Huxiao continued to execute his training plan meticulously. His goal was always to gain greater strength, and a small engagement was not enough to interfere with his desire to become stronger.
······
The next day, the engagement party for the Xu and Ao families organized by Ning Fengyu was held as scheduled. It was just a small family dinner, and the people who came were all from the Xu Family and Ao Family.
The atmosphere of the engagement banquet was quite harmonious. The family banquet started from the engagement ceremony in the morning and ended in the afternoon.
After the banquet, the parents of both families intended to leave the newly engaged couple alone.
So, Xu Huxiao and Orleans were left alone in the lotus pond pavilion in the backyard of Xu Residence.
Today, Orleans still has long burgundy hair tied in a high ponytail. The difference is that her clothes are more like a daughter's, and are no longer as streamlined and neat as before.
And the whole person is not sitting there quietly like he was making noises before, but has a cute and well-behaved look.
In fact, Orleans is right about herself. She can indeed be regarded as a pearl of Spirit City. Even though she is still young, she is still a beauty.
If Hu Liena is a beauty that is eye-catching and full of charm, then Orleans is a beauty with exquisite facial features and straightforward beauty.
The two kinds of beauty are the inside and outside of each other, and each has its own merits.
The pavilion was a little quiet now. Although it was a date between two people, little did they know that in a guest room in the distance, there were two pairs of eyes staring intently at the boy and the girl in the pavilion.
"Brother Yan, look at how shy Huxiao and Little Liang are, do they look like the first time we dated?" Ning Fengyu peeked through the window and whispered.
"This guy is just like a piece of wood. How can he compare with me? I haven't noticed anything after watching him for a long time."
Xu Bayan curled his lips, not very satisfied with his wife's comparison.
Ning Fengyu was unhappy when he heard this, and turned around and rolled his eyes at him, "This is my son's honesty, unlike you, a rough guy, who talks glibly all day long, and already knows how to do things even before the relationship is established."
"Yes, I am a big boss, and everything Madam said is right, but didn't I like you very closely at that time, for fear that my precious Madam would be abducted by others?"
Ning Fengyu was most relieved to hear this, and she was instantly aroused, but she still caught the flaws in it.
"You liked it very much back then, but you don't like it now?"
Xu Bayan felt anxious and said quickly, "I like it, I like it, I liked it then, but I like it even more now."
Saying that, Xu Bayan held his hand, pulled the lady close, and immediately hit her.
Ning Fengyu's pretty face turned red, and she swatted his big hand away and said angrily, "Oh, we're still like this after we're an old couple. I know you like it. Don't move now. There's something going on in the pavilion. I have to listen carefully."
Xu Bayan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, hey, after this guy is over with his date, I have to teach him a few tricks."
Inside the pavilion.
Orleans peeked at Xu Huxiao who was sitting upright from time to time. Seeing that he didn't take the initiative to speak, she knew that the other person must be a little unhappy with her previous behavior.
Remembering what Xu Yanran said about eating soft things and not hard things, Orleans's face turned red and he boldly looked at Xu Huxiao to speak.
"Huxiao brother~"
The girl's voice was as sweet and pleasant as a wind chime, but when it fell on Xu Huxiao's ears, it was as if she had been electrocuted, and her whole body was instantly trembling.
He blinked uncomfortably, avoiding the girl's direct gaze.
"Ahem, you should call me Huxiao, or call me by my name. It feels weird to call me that."
Orleans Seeing his reaction, it seemed to have an effect, and then she softened her voice by a fifth and shouted again.
"Huxiao brother, but I just like to call you that~"
Xu Huxiao's body froze, and two more lightning bolts shot from the top of his head to the tips of his fingers.
"Okay, you can scream if you want. It's up to you."
After the baptism of these two cooing words of 'Brother Huxiao', the scene fell into silence again, but compared to before, the temperature in the air seemed to be a little higher, and there was a little more ambiguity between the two.
But this was still not an option, so Orleans took the initiative to break the deadlock. She took the initiative to come to Xu Huxiao, twisted the robe on the young man's arm a little, pouted her little mouth, and timidly said:
"Brother Huxiao, I was wrong about what happened before. I'm sorry, please don't be angry. If you are still angry, you can punish me however you want. Don't ignore me."
The girl's words contained three parts of apology, three parts of grievance, three parts of coquettishness, and one part of innocent cuteness. After receiving the instruction, Orleans seemed to have an enlightenment all of a sudden. From the face-loving brain before, she has become a skilled hunter now. All the changes in expressions are so easy and natural.
Xu Huxiao didn't know what to say. To deal with Orleans, the arrogant Little Witch, he loved and hated all the things the other party did. What he loved was that Soul Bone finally got his hands, and he didn't pay any real price. What he hated was that these things the other party did made him somewhat passive and helpless.
This Little Witch has to be cured.
"Turn around and lie down."
"Ah?!"
Faced with such a commanding tone, Orleans did not react for a moment, but listening to this undeniable domineering tone, somehow, a novel and exciting feeling filled her heart. No one had ever spoken to her like this before.
Orleans blushed on his face, couldn't say the words of rejection, and his head was dizzy. He just obeyed the other party's instructions, turned around, and leaned his upper body on the low railing, half lying down.
Xu Huxiao didn't expect that Little Witch would listen to him so much. He didn't want to find out the reason in detail, so he raised his hand and slapped the opponent's raised buttocks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three soft sounds made Orleans blush like blood and turn his head to look at him with both innocent and aggrieved eyes.
"You... you spanked me?"
Xu Huxiao Seeing her pitiful appearance, she felt a little embarrassed and coughed twice.
"Ahem, don't look at me like that. This is your punishment. Okay, I'm leaving. You can take care of yourself."
After saying that, Xu Huxiao quickly left the pavilion without looking back, as if he had done something wrong.
Orleans was left alone, holding his buttocks, watching the young man leave, feeling not aggrieved, because the pain was not that painful, but a little numb, and he even felt a little inexplicable and novel.
Because Orleans, who was inspired by Xu Yanran and the novel, has taken on a new look, she has more keenly captured other meanings from this kind of action.
"He... he treated me like this, does he like me? Is this what sister Yanran said about marriage first and love later?"
Orleans was confused and didn't know, but it didn't stop her from being in a silly good mood all day long.
Women are born love hunters, and the enlightened Orleans is even more of a talented player. He just listened to the advice and made some changes, and he was completely different.
The two people peeping in the guest room not far away, the couple Xu Bayan and Ning Fengyu, looked at each other, completely unexpected that this date would develop like this.
It even developed a little too fast.
Punishment? Spanking?
Looking at the ambiguous tone and gesture, this doesn't look like something an innocent and ignorant boy would do!
"Look, madam, you said that this guy is honest. This is our first official date, and he got started right away. He was still restrained and leisurely even the first time. I see, madam, your worries are completely unnecessary."
"However, this is indeed my son, hehe."
Ning Fengyu was speechless. She didn't expect that she would be slapped in the face the next second after telling her son to be honest.
"Hmph, everyone has the same virtues, if you don't learn them well."
Although he said so, it was good news for Ning Fengyu. Anyway, both of them were engaged, so being intimate with each other was nothing. On the contrary, it showed that the two little guys were interesting to each other.
After all, hitting and scolding is love.
