"It's obviously your own fault, and you blame me?" The Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox said speechlessly.
Bibi Dong raised her head.
"Why? Why are you doing this?"
The Nine-Tailed Fox gently landed on Bibi Dong's knees, looking at the falling snow outside the window with a faint gaze, "Because we are the same kind of people."
"…"
Bibi Dong was silent for a moment.
"Then why do you want me to destroy those two dragon souls?"
"If those two guys don't die, he will be the one to die in the future." The nine-tailed fox said quietly.
Bibi Dong was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"Will the arrogant dragon clan fall for weak humans?" asked the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox.
"The pride of the dragon race is ingrained in their bones. How could they willingly reside in a human's body? You must know that in the past, humans in this world were merely the weakest and most humble slaves under the rule of the dragon race."
"Perhaps they are still lying dormant, waiting for the right opportunity to completely devour Xuan Ming and seize his body."
"Besides, even if they really don't have any other intentions, their existence is still fatal to Xuan Ming!"
…
After Xuan Ming left the Spirit Temple, he arrived at the Prince's Mansion not long after.
Under the cover of moonlight and falling snow, this place seems particularly quiet.
Xuan Ming still relied on his spatial ability to come directly to the backyard of the Prince's Mansion. However, unlike Yue Xuan and the Spirit Temple, this time, he was targeted by Snake Spear Douluo as soon as he landed.
At the same time, in the darkness of the courtyard, there was another figure hiding, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"What are you doing here?" Snake Spear Douluo looked at Xuan Ming warily, his martial spirit already summoned.
"I'm looking for Qian Renxue." Xuan Ming said.
"Is there something wrong?" Snake Spear Douluo asked.
"I still have some feelings for her, but I have nothing to say to you." Xuan Ming said lightly.
Snake Spear Douluo frowned, but before he could do anything, a cold voice came from the depths of the courtyard, "Let him in."
Upon hearing this, Snake Spear Douluo slightly turned sideways to make way, but his eyes were still full of vigilance.
Xuan Ming didn't care and walked straight towards the direction where the sound came from.
Arriving at Qian Renxue's door, Xuan Ming knocked gently.
"Come in."
Xuan Ming pushed open the door and walked in.
Qian Renxue was wearing a white nightgown and sitting on the edge of the bed with her back to Xuan Ming.
"It's so late, is there something wrong?"
"I'm going out for a while and may not be back until before the game starts. I came to tell you." Xuan Ming said.
Qian Renxue was slightly startled, a complicated look flashed in her eyes. She clenched her fists and said in a low voice, "What does this have to do with me?"
Xuan Ming paused, "It's okay, just saying."
After saying this, Xuan Ming turned around and left.
Just as Xuan Ming was about to step out of the room, Qian Renxue suddenly stood up, quickly caught up with him, and grabbed Xuan Ming's sleeve.
Xuan Ming stopped and turned around slowly, "What's the matter?"
Qian Renxue bit her lower lip and looked into Xuan Ming's eyes, her eyes full of resentment and grievance.
Xuan Ming was slightly startled, "What's wrong with you?"
Qian Renxue's eyes were slightly red, and she was a little emotional. She took a step forward, almost touching Xuan Ming, "I haven't seen you for half a year, and you don't even want to say a word to me properly."
Xuan Ming was stunned. "Then what was I saying just now?"
"During the day!" Qian Renxue gritted her teeth.
"I clearly went there to show my concern for you, but you blocked my way as soon as you opened your mouth! And you even teamed up with that woman to confront me!"
"During the day?" Xuan Ming looked puzzled.
"During the day, you are Xue Qinghe, and we are talking about official business. I emphasized this several times at the time."
Qian Renxue's tears welled up in her eyes, her voice choked with sobs: "Then why didn't you treat her like that?"
"Why don't you confront her? Why do you confront me?"
"Why do you have to embarrass me in front of her?"
"You can choose not to help me, but why do you help her bully me? Don't you know that I don't get along with her?"
"…"
"Brother, do you want to coax her?" the Ice Dragon King asked strangely.
Xuan Ming looked at Qian Renxue's tearful eyes and extremely aggrieved look, and was at a loss for words.
"How can I comfort her?"
"I'll teach you, just do as I say." said the Ice Dragon King.
"You teach? Could it be some perverted moves?" Xuan Ming was a little skeptical.
"Seriously!" the Ice Dragon King said indignantly.
"Is it difficult?" Xuan Ming asked.
"It's very simple, no need to say anything, even a fool can learn it easily!" said the Ice Dragon King.
"I say one step, you do one step."
"First, pick her up and get her into bed."
"???"
"Are you sure?" Xuan Ming asked doubtfully.
"Hurry up, you don't want her to attack Dugu Yan and the others when you are not around, right?" said the Ice Dragon King.
"Don't count on Bibi Dong. She's probably hoping Qian Renxue kills all those girls."
Love is selfish. Bibi Dong gave in purely because of Hu Liena, but no one else has the right to make her take a step back!
Xuan Ming hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out his hand and gently picked up Qian Renxue with slightly stiff movements.
Qian Renxue was stunned by this sudden action. Her eyes, which were originally filled with tears, suddenly widened and a shy blush appeared on her face. She subconsciously hugged Xuan Ming's neck and said in a voice with a bit of coquettishness and panic: "What...what are you going to do?"
"Don't talk, go to the bed, and walk slowly." said the Ice Dragon King.
Xuan Ming felt something was wrong, but now he could only do as he was told. With every step he took, he could feel Qian Renxue's heartbeat violently in his arms, and her warm breath spraying on his neck.
"wrong!"
In the courtyard, the Thorny Porpoise Douluo's face changed drastically when he saw Xuan Ming's actions, and he subconsciously rushed in to stop Xuan Ming.
Snake Spear Douluo quickly stopped Thorny Porpoise Douluo, "Do you want to die?"
After being stopped by Snake Spear Douluo, Thorny Porpoise Douluo finally came to his senses and said in a low voice, "This brat is so bold, he actually dared to do this to the young master. What if the young master gets into trouble..."
Snake Spear Douluo shook his head helplessly, his eyes fixed on the door. He whispered, "Didn't you see the Young Master's reaction? She didn't resist. Let's not meddle in her affairs, lest we draw more trouble."
Thorny Porpoise Douluo frowned, and although he was still worried, he had to give up and continued to guard the dark corner of the courtyard with Snake Spear Douluo, but he would glance towards the door from time to time.
In the room, Xuan Ming followed the Ice Dragon King's instructions and slowly walked towards the bed while holding Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue's face had already turned as red as a ripe apple, and her heart was beating like a drum. She hugged Xuan Ming's neck tightly, buried her head in Xuan Ming's shoulder, and did not dare to look up at him.
"Lie on the bed and let her lie on top of you." The voice of the Ice Dragon King sounded in Xuan Ming's mind.
Xuan Ming paused slightly, then slowly placed Qian Renxue on the bed, trying to be as gentle as possible. Then, as the Ice Dragon King had instructed, he slowly lay down and let Qian Renxue lie on top of him.
Qian Renxue's body stiffened instantly, the blush on her cheeks spread to her ears, and her breathing became rapid.
"Okay, now you have two choices." said the Ice Dragon King.
"Either lie there and let her do whatever she wants, or hold her and don't give her any chance to get any further."
"!!!!" Xuan Ming was speechless.
"Then hug her!" said the Ice Dragon King.
"…"
Xuan Ming took a deep breath, and finally slowly reached out his hand and gently hugged Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue's body trembled slightly, then she relaxed and buried her head deeper into Xuan Ming's arms.
"Then what?" Xuan Ming asked.
"It's gone." said the Ice Dragon King.
"Don't always think too much of her. She's a woman too. She has her moments of vulnerability and desire to be loved. It's fine the way it is now."
Xuan Ming listened to the Ice Dragon King's words. Although he still had many doubts and awkwardness in his heart, he didn't say anything more.
At this moment, the room was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard. Qian Renxue lay quietly in his arms, and her stubbornness seemed to dissipate with this moment of tranquility. Her warm body temperature was transmitted to Xuan Ming through her clothes, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
Time passed minute by minute. Qian Renxue raised her head slightly, looked at Xuan Ming with wet eyes, and asked doubtfully, "Are you okay?"
"What's wrong?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Why is your heartbeat... so slow?" Qian Renxue put her ear to Xuan Ming's heart.
"Field." Xuan Ming said.
"I don't feel safe. The domain is always active, but I keep it contained within my body to prevent sneak attacks. Sometimes I also use it to regulate my body, slowing down blood flow and heartbeat."
Qian Renxue was slightly stunned and looked down, "Then here..."
"I'm a normal man." Xuan Ming was speechless.
If it weren't for his innate ability to control his blood flow, Dugu Yan's undisguised desire to attack would have caused trouble long ago.
Qian Renxue's cheeks instantly turned a deeper shade of crimson, like the blazing sunset glow on the horizon. She hurriedly looked away, but couldn't help but secretly glance at Xuan Ming from the corner of her eyes. Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's: "Then... then are you feeling very uncomfortable now?"
Xuan Ming grabbed Qian Renxue's dishonest right hand and said, "I'm already giving you face by letting you hug me for a while. Don't push me any further."
"…"Qian Renxue.
"…"Ice Dragon King.
The atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze for a moment. The Ice Dragon King had nothing to say. Qian Renxue felt her heartbeat stop.
She's pushing it further?!
