Feeling Zhao Su's gentle gaze on her, Tang Yuehua said nothing more and simply smiled softly.
Her fingers gently plucked the strings of the guqin, and tender, melodious music filled the room.
At the same time, Tang Yuehua released her innate domain.
Along with the music, the gentle ripples emanating from her domain grew softer still, as though they could soothe every sorrow in the world.
Even Zhao Su gradually relaxed in this soft, soothing atmosphere.
Woven together with the tender, melodious music, it seemed to make Zhao Su set aside all the scheming in his heart and return to the carefree days of his childhood.
Slowly, Zhao Su closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa, savoring this rare moment of ease.
Nearly ten minutes passed, yet Zhao Su remained immersed in it.
"How was that? Do you feel much more relaxed?"
Tang Yuehua's gentle voice roused Zhao Su from that wondrous feeling.
By then, Tang Yuehua had come over and sat beside him, leaning against him.
A smile graced her exquisite face, and every expression, every smile, tugged at Zhao Su's heart.
"Not bad, but there's something even more relaxing. Would you be willing to help me, Yuehua?"
As Zhao Su spoke, his gaze gradually grew heated.
The softness of Tang Yuehua against his arm and the faint fragrance drifting from her body-
Both stirred the beast Zhao Su had kept restrained for so long, slowly awakening it.
Even Zhao Su's tone grew suggestive.
"I'll help you with anything I can!"
Tang Yuehua heard the hint of innuendo in Zhao Su's words and also noticed the change in a certain part of his body.
Her eyes gradually grew hazy, making her all the more alluring.
At that sight, Zhao Su could no longer hold back. The beast within him awakened completely.
If he kept holding back, he would be worse than a beast.
"Really?" Zhao Su asked again.
"As long as you want it."
Perhaps it was because Zhao Su was already bewitched, but her voice sounded irresistibly seductive to him now.
Zhao Su gave a wicked smile and kissed her without any further hesitation.
Tang Yuehua offered a token resistance at first, then began to respond.
Zhao Su grew bolder, and his hands gradually began to wander.
A few minutes later, Zhao Su broke through that final barrier.
Beneath him, Tang Yuehua gave a soft moan. Her brows gradually knitted, revealing a trace of pain.
Zhao Su was shaken as well.
He had never imagined that Tang Yuehua, mistress of the Moonlight Pavilion, who had spent years mingling among the Heaven Dou Empire's nobility and was even rumored to have a special relationship with Xue Ye-
Was still untouched.
Zhao Su lowered his head to look at Tang Yuehua, whose expression grew ever more enchanting and whose face was faintly flushed, and his movements gradually became gentler.
The initial discomfort gradually gave way to pleasure.
Amid that overwhelming pleasure, Tang Yuehua's Soul Power, which had been unable to advance beyond rank nine throughout her life because of a flaw caused by her martial soul mutation, broke through without her even realizing it.
Half an hour later, Tang Yuehua nestled shyly in Zhao Su's arms, her face still flushed.
She savored the peaceful moments after their pleasure.
"Yuehua, you need to study that Nine Serenities Underworld Art carefully. It can not only change your constitution, but also speed up your cultivation!"
Zhao Su kissed Tang Yuehua's cheek and spoke gently.
"Mm!"
Tang Yuehua merely nodded lightly without saying anything.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Su felt his desire stir again. He stood, scooped Tang Yuehua into his arms, and headed toward the bedroom.
The next day, while Zhao Su was still sound asleep, he felt something brushing back and forth across his cheek.
He opened his eyes groggily. Tang Yuehua was already up, gazing at him tenderly as she teased him with her hair.
"Time to get up, you little rascal. The sun's already shining on your backside."
After last night's yin-yang harmony, Tang Yuehua was even more captivating, and her gaze toward Zhao Su was gentler still.
That look alone was almost more than Zhao Su could bear.
"I don't want to get up. How about we sleep a little longer?"
Zhao Su's eyes gleamed as he looked at Tang Yuehua, and he reached out to pull her into his arms.
"Last night wasn't enough? You still want more?"
Tang Yuehua let out a startled cry as Zhao Su pulled her into his embrace.
This time, Zhao Su only held Tang Yuehua in his arms and went no further.
After all, even yin-yang harmony required moderation. Besides, Tang Yuehua had only lost her virginity the night before, and too much would be bad for her body.
Zhao Su might have been a beast, but he was a good beast.
They cuddled for a while longer before Zhao Su finally got up. Tang Yuehua had already prepared a lavish breakfast.
After finishing breakfast, Zhao Su prepared to leave.
Though that tender haven was hard to leave, he had other things to do. He could not stay here forever.
"Can't you wait a few more days before leaving?"
"I'll come back for you once the Soul Master Tournament is over."
He had no choice. If he delayed any longer, Zhao Su would not reach Spirit City in time.
"All right. Remember, you must come back for me!"
Though Tang Yuehua felt somewhat dejected, she still agreed to let Zhao Su leave, offering only that reminder.
"Don't worry. Once I've finished what I need to do, I'll definitely come back!"
As he spoke, Zhao Su took a sphere from the storage space in the jade pendant at his waist and handed it to Tang Yuehua. "Keep this on you wherever you go. If you encounter danger, activate it with Soul Power. Even a Titled Douluo won't be able to harm you."
At the same time, Zhao Su transmitted the precise instructions for using the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus into Tang Yuehua's mind.
He ensured she remembered them firmly and would never forget them.
"Mm. I'll wait for you to come back!"
Tang Yuehua clasped the sphere Zhao Su had given her tightly as she spoke.
"Take care of yourself."
Zhao Su kissed Tang Yuehua's cheek, then turned and left swiftly without any further hesitation.
After leaving the Moonlight Pavilion, Zhao Su glanced back and took a deep breath, suppressing the tangled emotions in his heart.
He strode toward the city gates.
"Master, Yu Xiaogang has parted ways with Flender and the others and gone to Spirit Hall alone to see Bibi Dong. Bibi Dong has also sent the two Titled Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, to intercept and kill Tang San and his companions."
Zhao Su had only taken a few steps when Shadow appeared beside him.
"Go protect Tang San and his companions in secret. They can't die yet!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Ying acknowledged his order. Her figure gradually turned insubstantial, then vanished completely.
Zhao Su wasted no more time either, rushing toward Spirit City at full speed.
Seven days later, Zhao Su finally reached Spirit City, just in time for Yu Xiaogang's visit to Spirit Hall to see Pope Bibi Dong.
Hidden in the shadows of the Papal Hall's main hall, Zhao Su watched Bibi Dong face Yu Xiaogang, agitated and utterly stripped of her usual imposing dignity.
Zhao Su could not help feeling a little disappointed.
He understood that Bibi Dong had never forgotten Yu Xiaogang. As the saying went, without love, there could be no hate.
The hatred Bibi Dong bore Yu Xiaogang alone showed how much weight he still carried in her heart.
