Xiao Wu froze.
She hadn't expected Xue Tianyu to expose her so directly.
"Let me guess, all you think about every day is how to date Tang San, right?"
"You're proficient at eating, drinking, and having fun, but you haven't done a single thing you actually need to do for revenge."
"And you call that wanting revenge?"
Xue Tianyu grabbed Xiao Wu's ponytail.
"If your mother saw you like this, she'd probably climb out of her coffin just to hunt you down."
"A useless waste who can't avenge her mother, weak-minded and only capable of running away."
Xue Tianyu's words were like steel needles stabbing straight into Xiao Wu's lungs.
"No, it's not like that... I..."
Xiao Wu found it hard to breathe. Her mind went blank, and an expression of utter pain appeared on her face.
She wanted to explain herself, but she realized that no matter what she said, it would sound like an excuse.
Because she really did seem to be exactly as Xue Tianyu had said. After meeting Tang San, she had forgotten about revenge.
She clearly bore an irreconcilable hatred toward humans, yet now all she could think about was falling in love with one.
She truly had let her mother down...
At this moment, every word was pale and powerless.
Xiao Wu fell silent.
Knock, knock.
Just then, someone knocked on Xue Tianyu's door.
Xue Tianyu glanced at Xiao Wu, got up and locked the bathroom door from the outside before going to answer it.
"Hm? Ice Aunt, why are you here?"
Seeing Ice Empress standing at the door in her pajamas, Xue Tianyu instinctively tried to block the gap in the doorway with his body.
But Ice Empress was incredibly nimble.
With a flash, she slipped directly into Xue Tianyu's room.
Xue Tianyu had no choice but to close the door.
After entering the room, Ice Empress stretched lazily, then turned and pulled Xue Tianyu into her embrace.
Pressed against Ice Empress's chest, Xue Tianyu felt comfortable as he breathed in the faint, fresh scent he had known for over a decade.
"Sleep with Ice Aunt tonight." Ice Empress smiled and stroked Xue Tianyu's head. "I happen to have a little insomnia tonight."
"Huh?" Xue Tianyu glanced toward the bathroom. "That... wouldn't be appropriate, would it?"
What he really meant was that the timing was bad.
After all, Xiao Wu was still hidden in the bathroom, dressed rather inappropriately.
Unaware of this, Ice Empress instead thought Xue Tianyu had grown up and no longer wanted to be close to her.
Her brows immediately furrowed as she reached out and pinched Xue Tianyu's cheek.
"What? I used to hold you while you slept all the time when you were little. Now that you've grown up, you don't want to sleep with Ice Aunt anymore?"
"Tsk, tsk. You've become distant."
Ice Empress clicked her tongue and shook her head, leaving Xue Tianyu both amused and helpless.
"Then... all right."
He was helpless, but as long as Ice Empress didn't discover anything, it would be fine.
At that moment, a woman's sobs came from the bathroom.
"Hm? There's someone in the bathroom?"
Ice Empress's hearing was incredibly sharp. Even through the thick door, she could hear Xiao Wu quietly sobbing.
"N-No one."
Xue Tianyu did not really want Ice Empress to see Xiao Wu.
But the unnatural expression on his face betrayed his thoughts.
"Impossible. That was clearly a woman's voice from the bathroom." Ice Empress looked at Xue Tianyu with a teasing smile. "Our Tianyu has learned to hide a beauty away in a golden house?"
Seeing the evasiveness in Xue Tianyu's eyes, Ice Empress became even more certain of her guess. She immediately shoved him aside and headed for the bathroom.
Xue Tianyu rubbed his forehead with one hand.
It was over.
He had forgotten to order Xiao Wu not to make any sound...
Bang!
Ice Empress opened the bathroom door.
The first thing she saw was a mass of soft pink waves.
Then, Ice Empress saw Xiao Wu's collar and the suggestive outfit that barely covered her three vital points.
"Uh..."
Xue Tianyu hurriedly stepped forward, intending to explain.
"Ice Aunt, I..."
"Don't interrupt. I'm thinking..." Ice Empress decisively cut him off.
She approached Xiao Wu, and the aura of a ferocious beast emanating from her suppressed Xiao Wu so thoroughly that she did not dare speak.
Of course, even if she wanted to speak, she could not. Her body was bound tightly by nylon rope.
This method of binding was especially revealing.
Paired with the suggestive lingerie Xiao Wu was wearing, it looked extremely risqué...
Ice Empress was somewhat disordered.
"Uh, this..."
She turned and scrutinized Xue Tianyu carefully.
"Good heavens, Tianyu, you, you, you..."
Ice Empress sighed. "I didn't expect you to be this wild in private?"
"Uh, no, that's not it. Listen to my sophistry... no, my explanation!"
"Fine, I'll listen to your sophistry."
Ice Empress closed the bathroom door and walked over to sit on the bed.
"It's not what you think..."
Xue Tianyu was drenched in sweat. He made up several excuses in a row before finally managing to muddle through it.
Ice Empress herself did not care much. She simply had not expected to accidentally discover another side of Xue Tianyu.
"All right, all right, I believe you." Ice Empress yawned and lay down on the bed.
"It's time to sleep."
Xue Tianyu could only obediently cooperate with Ice Empress and climb into bed.
"Hold me while we sleep." Seeing that Xue Tianyu was merely lying close to her, Ice Empress immediately grabbed his hand and wrapped it around her waist.
Xue Tianyu's physique was now much more robust than Ice Empress's.
In his arms, Ice Empress was like a little bird.
Breathing in the faint fragrance from Ice Empress's body, Xue Tianyu felt refreshed and content.
If not for the matter of Xiao Wu being discovered by Ice Empress getting in the way, tonight should have been perfect.
Thinking of this, Xue Tianyu affectionately kissed Ice Empress's fair neck.
Ice Empress and Snow Empress were the most important family he had in this world.
Under the guidance of Ice Empress and Snow Empress, Xue Tianyu's standards of beauty had been raised very high.
Even now, he did not believe any woman could be more beautiful than Ice Empress and Snow Empress.
Feeling Ice Empress's warmth in his arms, Xue Tianyu's eyes gradually closed.
Sleepiness washed over him.
The sound of even breathing arose.
Holding Ice Empress, he fell asleep.
Xue Tianyu and Ice Empress had fallen asleep, but Xiao Wu was destined to remain awake tonight in the bathroom.
She was tied up and locked in a corner against the wall.
Her thoughts were in turmoil, and her heart was filled with terror.
"Third Brother... Third Brother will definitely come save me!"
Thinking of Tang San's heroic appearance when he came to argue with Xue Tianyu, Xiao Wu felt a small measure of tenderness in her heart.
However, she suddenly recalled how she had felt upon seeing Ice Empress.
Her heart instantly went cold.
No, the feeling Ice Empress gave Xiao Wu had long surpassed the oppressive presence of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Even if Da Ming Er Ming joined forces, they would probably be instantly annihilated by that Soul Beast radiating an icy aura, wouldn't they?
With such powerful support by his side, if Third Brother came into conflict with Xue Tianyu, wouldn't he just get beaten senseless?
After all, even without that terrifying Soul Beast, Third Brother apparently could not defeat Xue Tianyu.
No, I can't drag Third Brother down.
I should bear the consequences of my own mistakes!
She knew that the only way now was to make Tang San think she had fallen in love with someone else, so that he would give up on her.
Only then could Third Brother survive.
Xiao Wu was in extreme pain. I'm doing all this for Third Brother!
Meanwhile, Tang San was already frantic with worry.
My Xiao Wu!!!
She's gone!
