Chapter 207 Don't let Nana know
At midnight, the moonlight, as clear as water, bathed the ancient and elegant building of the Moonlight Pavilion in a silvery veil.
Knock knock!
"The window's unlocked, come in."
The window opened gently and closed slowly, without making the slightest unnecessary sound.
As soon as Xuan Ming landed, he saw Tang Yuehua sitting in front of the dressing table, quietly combing her long hair.
She wore a light blue nightgown, and her long, flowing hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, making her look exceptionally beautiful and charming in the moonlight.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Yuehua turned her head slightly to look at the silent Xuan Ming.
"I need to go out for a bit. I came to let you know," Xuan Ming said.
Tang Yuehua paused slightly in her hand as she combed the comb. "Going out again? Didn't you just get back?"
"Something came up," Xuan Ming said.
"How long?" Tang Yuehua asked.
"Uncertain, at least a month," Xuan Ming said.
Tang Yuehua put down the comb and lowered her head slightly. "Is there any danger?"
Xuan Ming thought for a moment, "There shouldn't be any danger for me."
Tang Yuehua frowned slightly. "If it exists, it exists; if it doesn't, it doesn't. What do you mean by 'should'?"
"Yes, but not many," Xuan Ming said.
Tang Yuehua stood up, turned to face Xuan Ming, gently took his hands in hers, and after a moment of silence, hugged him tightly.
" The Seven Great Families are looking for me."
Xuan Ming frowned. "What do you want with me?"
"Let me try to persuade you," Tang Yuehua said.
"Anything else?" Xuan Ming asked.
Tang Yuehua paused, released Xuan Ming, turned around and walked to the bedside, picked up a small box, and handed it to Xuan Ming.
"You should have your own plans, but if you don't have any ideas, go here. Perhaps this place can solve your problem, or at least give you some time to hide."
Where?
Sea God Island.
The Martial Soul Holy Temple.
After coaxing Tang Yuehua to sleep, Xuan Ming came over again.
Now that snow is falling over most of Heaven Dou City, he doesn't need to worry about getting lost anymore.
Knock knock!
Bibi Dong had just fallen asleep, opened her eyes and looked towards the window, her gaze somewhat unnatural. "Come in."
Space distorted, revealing a dark void from which Xuan Ming emerged.
Bibi Dong leaned against the bed, looking at Xuan Ming with a half-smile, "I thought you'd climb in through the window?"
Xuan Ming was a little embarrassed. "It's the middle of the night, I can't exactly go in from the front, can I?"
"That makes sense." Bibi Dong patted the edge of the bed. "Come here, sit down and let's talk."
Xuan Ming didn't think much of it and walked over to sit down.
Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow slightly. "It's fine during the day, but coming over in the middle of the night, remember to get rid of the smell on you."
Xuan Ming was taken aback. "What's that smell?"
"The scent of other women," Bibi Dong said.
" Tang Yuehua?"
Xuan Ming felt inexplicably guilty. "Hmm."
"It seems that rumors aren't always rumors," Bibi Dong said.
"I need to go out for a while, I don't know how long it will take," Xuan Ming said.
Bibi Dong was taken aback. "Where are you going?"
" The Star Dou Great Forest," Xuan Ming said.
"What are you going to do now?" Bibi Dong asked, puzzled.
"Something came up," Xuan Ming said.
Bibi Dong paused, sat up, opened her arms, and looked at Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming was slightly taken aback and hesitated for a moment, but looking into Bibi Dong's eyes, he gently stepped forward and embraced her.
Bibi Dong rested her head on Xuan Ming's shoulder, her eyes closed. "Do you want me to come with you?"
"No need, there's no danger," Xuan Ming said.
"They shouldn't be gone for a year or two, right?" Bibi Dong said.
"I'll be back before the match starts at the latest," Xuan Ming said.
"..."
"Are you done?"
"What's the rush? Let me hold you a little longer."
"..."
Bibi Dong nestled tightly in Xuan Ming's arms, only slowly releasing him after a long while, then looked up at him, "Should we go tell Qian Renxue?"
Xuan Ming was taken aback, "Now, both she and I..."
"Go and tell them." Bibi Dong raised her hand and cupped Xuan Ming's face.
"You two have fallen out over Xue Qinghe's matter, but out of personal feelings, even just considering what happened at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well six months ago, you should still go and talk to her."
Xuan Ming hesitated for a moment, "Alright, I hope she won't fight me..."
"Ugh!"
Suddenly, before Xuan Ming could react, Bibi Dong wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and pressed her lips to his.
Xuan Ming was taken aback by the sudden attack, his whole body stiffened instantly, and his mind went blank.
Bibi Dong's lips were soft and hot, with a faint fragrance, which made his heart beat faster.
After a brief moment of distraction, Xuan Ming subconsciously tried to push her away, but as soon as his hand touched Bibi Dong's shoulder, he slowly lowered it.
After an unknown amount of time, the two finally separated.
Bibi Dong was slightly out of breath, biting her lower lip, a blush rising on her cheeks. She slowly released her arms from Xuan Ming's neck, turned her head away, and whispered, "Don't let Nana know."
Xuan Ming stared at Bibi Dong, his eyes filled with a mixture of astonishment and complex emotions. After a moment, he came to his senses, opened his mouth, but didn't know what he could say.
"Um."
"..."
Xuan Ming quietly left, Bibi Dong sat on the bed, unable to calm down for Jiujiu.
"Am I right? He wants it, but he's too afraid to make the first move."
Black mist slowly emerged from Bibi Dong's body, condensing into a nine-tailed fox with an entirely black body, which hovered in mid-air.
Bibi Dong glanced at the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox but ignored it.
"Do you know why he did this?" The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox slowly landed on Bibi Dong's shoulder.
"You should be able to sense that he's under a lot of pressure. He's extremely nervous and doesn't dare to stop for a moment, afraid that if he stops, he won't want to move anymore."
"Even these things he wants, he doesn't dare touch. He's afraid that if he touches them, he'll want to stop, and the result is that he lives such an awkward life, deliberately avoiding what he clearly wants, and daring not to admit what he clearly likes."
Do you know who's putting pressure on him? Who's making him live such a miserable life?
Bibi Dong kept her head down and ignored it.
The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, ignoring whether Bibi Dong was listening or not, continued, "It's those two dragon souls on his body."
"Once those two dragon souls are destroyed, his pressure will disappear."
"Then you can take advantage of the situation..."
Bibi Dong sneered, "Outside of the illusion, your ability to bewitch people is truly appalling."
Destroy those two dragon souls? And then take advantage of the situation?
Only Qian Renxue would believe such nonsense.
Bibi Dong's expression changed slightly. "You weren't the one who did this back then, were you?"
Qian Renxue did indeed have feelings for Xuan Ming, but in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, knowing that their relationship was beyond repair and that keeping Xuan Ming around would only be a disaster, she still went that far. This was really not right!
Given Qian Renxue's personality, if there is no hope, no matter how reluctant she is, she will definitely harden her heart and destroy it!
Not to mention that Xuan Ming could very well pose a threat to her!
"Oh dear~ You just realized that?" The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox looked at Bibi Dong with a half-smile.
"I thought you already knew."
Back when Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong were on their way from the Martial Soul Holy Temple to Sunset Forest, she did indeed take that opportunity to plant a seed in Qian Renxue's heart.
Once stimulated, that seed will sprout and grow rapidly, greatly arousing her desire and love for Xuan Ming!
In the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Qian Renxue's rationality was completely overwhelmed by her emotions, which is why she made that decision, risking great danger to force her grandfather to give up.
Bibi Dong frowned. "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Didn't I tell you? Help him escape his suffering," the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox said.
"Although I loathe the two dragon souls within him, I still like him quite a bit."
Bibi Dong laughed in anger, "Don't you listen to what you're saying? Don't forget that you were the one who led me to that point in the Pope's Palace! You were the one who tricked me into attacking him!"
"But would you actually harm him?" the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox asked.
"I..." Bibi Dong was speechless for a moment.
"Having shared so many dreams with you, I know you better than you know yourself," the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox said.
"If you absolutely had to choose one, you would definitely choose him."
The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox slowly floated to Bibi Dong's front, looking into her eyes, "I did force you, but I absolutely did not harm him."
"Back then in the Pope's Palace, you were too afraid to face yourself, which is why things turned out that way. If you had just been a little more honest, you would have slept with him long ago!"
Bibi Dong's heart clenched, "I..."
"Isn't that so?" the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox asked.
"You just kissed him, did he resist? You went all the way, did he resist?"
"If you had called out his name instead, would things have escalated like that?"
"..."
Chapter 208 Let her do as she pleases
"It's clearly your own fault for being so useless, yet you're blaming me?" the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox said speechlessly.
Bibi Dong raised her head. "Why? Why are you doing these things?"
