Han Yue's Choice

A faint smile touched Nalan Chenfeng's lips as he looked directly into Han Yue's cold, beautiful eyes.

Han Yue hurriedly looked away, not daring to meet Nalan Chenfeng's gaze.

The man before her possessed extraordinary talent and potential, as well as striking looks. She had quite a favorable impression of him, but for him to ask a girl such a blunt question was truly rather hateful.

"I still have something to do. I'll head back first."

Han Yue said no more and turned to leave.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Nalan Chenfeng reached out and caught Han Yue's slender wrist.

Han Yue's body stiffened. She turned back to look at Nalan Chenfeng, a trace of embarrassed anger rising in her crystal-like eyes.

"What are you doing?"

Nalan Chenfeng said nothing, merely giving a gentle tug with his hand.

Han Yue lost her footing and pitched forward, only to be swept into a warm embrace the next moment.

Her silver-white hair fluttered in the wind, brushing across Nalan Chenfeng's face and carrying a faint fragrance.

Han Yue's delicate body trembled. Her palm pressed against Nalan Chenfeng's chest, yet she did not forcefully push him away.

"Let go."

Han Yue's voice was cold, while a blush spread across her fair, pretty face.

"I won't."

Nalan Chenfeng lowered his head to look at the icy yet captivating face in his arms, a curve forming at the corners of his lips.

If Han Yue had truly been unwilling, she would have already erupted with the Dou Qi within her, struggled desperately free, and fought him.

Han Yue possessed the strength of a Two-Star Da Dou Shi. It was true that he could defeat her, but without using that special ability, he still could not easily restrain her.

Moreover, he knew that Han Yue, the eldest daughter of Tian Bei City's Han Family, was a clean freak who disliked contact with anyone. She even wore a pair of transparent silk gloves every day.

In short, a woman's body was often far more honest than her mouth.

If she did not like him, there was no need for her to wait for him where he lived. He was not that dense.

Han Yue raised her eyes and met Nalan Chenfeng's dark pupils. Her heartbeat could not help quickening.

"Let go first. It wouldn't be good if someone saw us..."

Han Yue bit her lip, and her voice dropped considerably.

Her mind was in turmoil. She did not understand why Nalan Chenfeng had suddenly become like a different person. She had not prepared herself for this.

"So what if they see? What could anyone possibly say?"

Nalan Chenfeng directly scooped Han Yue up in his arms and carried her into his courtyard.

This scene happened to be seen by several students living nearby, leaving them all dumbfounded.

"Isn't that Han Yue?"

"The one holding her is... Nalan Chenfeng?"

"Ah, when did those two get together?"

"..."

As explosive news spread throughout the Jia Nan Outer Academy, Nalan Chenfeng was already beginning to experience Han Yue's softness inside the room.

"This really feels quite nice..."

After releasing those cool, sweet lips, Nalan Chenfeng felt thoroughly refreshed. He smacked his lips, his face full of enjoyment.

"You... you've gone too far..."

Han Yue turned her head aside. Her silver hair fell down, covering half her pretty face. Her fully developed chest rose and fell, but in the end, she did not say anything overly reproachful.

Han Yue raised a hand and wiped the corner of her lips, her heart filled with complicated emotions.

She had not resisted just now. Otherwise, Nalan Chenfeng would not have succeeded so easily. But if that were the case, would she seem too frivolous?

And if she rejected him, she and the man before her might no longer have a chance to be together. This was a choice she had to make.

Nalan Chenfeng's talent and potential were beyond anything she could compare to. In fact, she was somewhat unworthy of him.

Thus, being with him meant they would have a future, and he could even benefit her family in the future. Even her father and the family would not oppose it.

On the Dou Qi Continent, strength was revered. Among the students of Jia Nan Academy, Nalan Chenfeng was the most outstanding one. She had always admired him.

"Well, I don't see it that way. You're a few years older than me. If we really count it carefully, you're the one taking advantage."

Nalan Chenfeng chuckled and raised a hand to smooth back the loose silver strands on Han Yue's face.

Matters between men and women were not so complicated. Between him and Han Yue, it was merely a matter of a thin layer of paper.

He liked beautiful women, and with Han Yue, he did not need to hold back too much. He could do as he pleased.

"Shameless..."

Seeing Nalan Chenfeng act smug after taking advantage of her, Han Yue gave a soft snort. For some reason, her heart gradually settled.

Though the relationship between her and Nalan Chenfeng had developed a little too quickly, having someone like him to rely on truly felt good.

A girl would have to marry someday. Rather than wait for her family to arrange it for the sake of profit in the future, it was better for her to make her own choice.

"Say that again?"

Nalan Chenfeng's gaze swept over Han Yue's exquisitely curved body, his lips moving slightly.

Young men should guard against lust. Though he was still young and it was not suitable for him to take that final step, he could still take his relationship with Han Yue a little further.

Seeing Nalan Chenfeng's gaze linger over her body, Han Yue's heart tightened. She gritted her teeth and did not make another sound.

The man before her looked as though he had her completely figured out. She did not dare guarantee what might happen next if she said something like that again.

She was not prepared for that, and Nalan Chenfeng was still young. If word got out, she truly might not be able to remain at Jia Nan Academy.

"Life at Jia Nan Academy won't be too dull from now on..."

Seeing Han Yue yield, Nalan Chenfeng smiled faintly and held her a little tighter.

With a beauty by his side, he would have even more motivation to cultivate.

"Chenfeng, what level has your strength reached now?"

After a quiet moment, Han Yue looked up at Nalan Chenfeng and asked curiously.

As their relationship changed, the way Han Yue addressed Nalan Chenfeng naturally became more intimate.

"Three-Star Dou Ling."

Nalan Chenfeng smiled slightly and did not hide it.

His strength would sooner or later be revealed at Jia Nan Academy, so there was nothing wrong with telling Han Yue.

The relationship between him and Han Yue was no longer that of ordinary friends or classmates.

Moreover, telling Han Yue could deepen their feelings for each other.

On the Dou Qi Continent, strength was revered. Strength was a major advantage in a relationship.

"Th-Three-Star Dou Ling!"

Han Yue's icy, beautiful face was filled with shock. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and her crystal-like eyes stared fixedly at Nalan Chenfeng.

A Three-Star Dou Ling at not even fourteen years old—such talent and potential would be an exceptionally dazzling existence even on the Central Plains Continent.

And at Jia Nan Academy, no one had ever possessed the strength of a Dou Ling before entering the Inner Academy.

What kind of monster was he?

With this kind of strength, she had actually worried that Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing might cause Nalan Chenfeng trouble. It was rather laughable.

"What? Not satisfied?"

Nalan Chenfeng took Han Yue's soft jade-like hand and knowingly asked.

"That's far too monstrous. Even in the Inner Academy, this level of strength wouldn't be weak."

Han Yue murmured, her admiration for Nalan Chenfeng growing even deeper.

Being able to meet Nalan Chenfeng, she truly was fortunate.

"Without strength, how would I dare provoke the Han Family's eldest daughter?"

Nalan Chenfeng lightly kissed Han Yue's icy, fair cheek, the smile on his face unchanged.

In terms of background and status, Han Yue was far stronger than him. The Han Family of Tian Bei City was a Dou Zong family, and Han Yue's great-grandfather, Han Fei, was an expert above the level of a Four-Star Dou Zong.

If such strength were placed in the Jia Ma Empire, it would absolutely be a colossal presence. Even the Misty Cloud Sect could hardly compare.

"If you come back to the Han Family with me, Father and the others will definitely be happy."

Han Yue smiled beautifully. As her crystal-like eyes flickered, she could not help envisioning a wonderful future.

But the next moment, as though she had remembered something, Han Yue's pretty face tightened, and a trace of gravity flashed through her eyes.
