Noticing the rapid heartbeat beside him.
Qian Renjue didn't lift the pillow to face Dugu Yan.
To avoid embarrassing her.
To avoid embarrassing himself.
Ye Lingling, fully dressed, glanced at Dugu Yan, who was engrossed in drinking tea.
Then she strolled towards the bedside.
Slightly bowing, she gently nudged the quilt covering Qian Renjue.
"Jue~ It's time to get up."
"I'm getting up."
Qian Renjue swiftly removed the pillow, raised his hand, and wiped the corner of his mouth.
"Mmm."
Ye Lingling nodded slightly and said softly:
"Let me help you put on your shoes."
"I can do it myself."
Before Qian Renjue could refuse, Ye Lingling squatted down and grasped his ankle.
"Uh…"
Qian Renjue had no choice but to let her serve him.
Seeing this, Dugu Yan looked at the clothes rack beside her, feeling a little restless.
But when she met Qian Renjue's purple eyes, Dugu Yan immediately lowered her head again.
She felt too embarrassed to offer to help him change clothes.
She could only watch Ye Lingling out of the corner of her eye as she dressed and fastened Qian Renjue's belt.
Once fully dressed.
Qian Renjue put his arm around Ye Lingling's waist and gently kissed her ear.
"Alright Lingling, you and Yan Yan wait for me for a while."
"Mmm."
Dugu Yan watched Qian Renjue's back as the anxiety in her heart finally subsided.
She understood very well.
That the Holy Son must know who had kissed him just now.
He just didn't want to add to the awkwardness.
In the bathroom.
Qian Renjue cupped a handful of water and kept splashing it on his face.
Looking in the mirror.
He couldn't understand why they always wanted to secretly take advantage of him?
Could it be that it was more enjoyable that way?!
Ye Lingling had already put her veil back on and was sitting next to Dugu Yan.
Looking at her delicate face, which still hadn't lost its shyness, she asked puzzledly:
"Yanzi, what's wrong with you?"
"N-nothing."
Dugu Yan shook her head gently.
She absolutely dared not tell Ye Lingling that she had secretly tasted her fiancé just now.
Ye Lingling didn't think much of it.
Perhaps she was just embarrassed by accidentally seeing Jue in his prime.
Before long.
Qian Renjue finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom.
"Lingling, Yan Yan, let's go."
"Mmm."
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan nodded at the same time.
…
————————
Qian Renjue didn't take them to the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena to watch the Spirit Master Competition.
Instead, he took them for a stroll in the commercial streets of Heaven Dou City.
Ling Yuan lurked in the shadows, silently following.
It wasn't until the two women were tired of shopping that Qian Renjue sent them home.
Dugu Manor.
Dugu Yan took Qian Renjue's arm and stood at the door, saying softly:
"Your Highness, won't you come in and sit for a while with Yan Yan?"
"No need."
Qian Renjue shook his head.
Looking at Dugu Yan beside him, he teased:
"What if I come in and you drug me?"
"Ah? I-I wouldn't."
Dugu Yan's face immediately flushed red, and she waved her hands repeatedly, stammering.
She quickly realized.
That the Holy Son must be talking about what happened at the hotel today.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry~"
Dugu Yan pouted her red lips, lowered her eyes…
"Heh."
Qian Renjue chuckled.
He raised his hand and pinched Dugu Yan's cheek, smiling and saying:
"It's okay, just don't be so secretive next time."
"…"
Dugu Yan was stunned.
Next time?!
Did the Holy Son mean that…
This could be done, but not secretly?
After understanding, Dugu Yan immediately raised her head and looked at Qian Renjue.
Nodding happily.
"Mmm, Yan Yan understands. Thank you, Holy Son."
"Okay, then go back Yan Yan wait!"
Qian Renjue hadn't finished speaking.
When he discovered that the beautiful snake in front of him suddenly pounced, opening her arms towards him.
Qian Renjue immediately turned his face away.
He raised his hand and pushed against her lithe waist.
But that lithe waist twisted, making it slippery and difficult to hold.
In an instant.
Qian Renjue's shoulders were embraced by slender, soft arms.
His chest was pressed against round, soft mounds, and his cheek was against plump, delicate lips.
Making his heart race and his mind wander.
*Smack!*
Dugu Yan only left a heavy mark before standing on tiptoes, her face flushed.
She breathed her snake-like breath into Qian Renjue's ear.
Extremely shy, she said:
"Your Highness, Yan Yan will do a good job as your personal maid from now on."
"Uh…"
Qian Renjue belatedly realized.
That his waist was already entwined with a cool, slippery, jade-green snake tail.
Just reaching out to grasp that snake tail.
The Dugu Yan in his arms couldn't help but tremble slightly, clenching her teeth gently.
The snake tail was also contracting gently.
Dugu Yan gritted her teeth.
"Please don't show mercy to this servant, Your Highness~ This servant will learn well."
"Yan Yan… I didn't…"
Qian Renjue faced Dugu Yan, speaking as his body slowly faded.
Seeming to become ethereal, breaking free from the entanglement of the snake tail.
But before Qian Renjue could finish speaking.
Dugu Yan's pair of jade-green vertical pupils shone slightly.
The snake tail around Qian Renjue's waist retracted.
That beautiful snake darted into the Dugu mansion.
Disappearing without a trace.
Only some soft aftersounds remained.
"Even if Your Highness wants to try Spirit Avatar, Yan Yan is willing."
"Uh?"
Qian Renjue was stunned, his expression strange, and the flowing spirit power slowly stopped.
He rubbed his waist, which had been coiled by the snake.
The words left by Dugu Yan inevitably aroused his curiosity.
After Yan Yan uses Spirit Avatar… what else can she do?!
"Your Highness~ What are you thinking about?"
Ling Yuan's soft voice suddenly sounded in Qian Renjue's ear.
"N-nothing."
Qian Renjue shook his head.
Throwing those miscellaneous thoughts out of his mind.
Qian Renjue looked around, finally lowering his eyes, his face slightly darkened.
He twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Sister Ling Yuan, why are you squatting on the ground?"
Ling Yuan raised her head and smiled shyly.
"This subordinate has been standing for too long and is a little tired~"
As she spoke.
Ling Yuan revealed a soul-devouring appearance towards Qian Renjue.
Qian Renjue rolled his eyes.
Annoyed, he reached out and gently patted her.
"Ah ooh… cough cough…"
Ling Yuan immediately leaned back and coughed dryly.
"Your Highness~".
Ling Yuan's face was flushed, and her eyes showed resentment.
She hurriedly looked around, fortunately, no one saw her embarrassment.
"Sister Ling Yuan, you also know that we are outside."
Qian Renjue frowned, shaking the fingers that had been沾上some saliva.
"I-I'm just joking."
Ling Yuan was apprehensive.
She walked forward gracefully, took Qian Renjue's hand in hers, and gently cleaned it.
Gentle as water, all-encompassing.
Qian Renjue frowned.
He was a little unaccustomed to the warmth on his fingertips.
The black Evil God Hook appeared behind him, drawing circles in the void.
The pitch-black space wormhole.
Slowly swallowed the figures of Qian Renjue and Douluo Ling Yuan.
Calm returned in front of the Dugu mansion.
Inside the mansion, at the corner of the gate.
Dugu Yan leaned against the wall, gently stroking her smiling red lips, her heart pounding.
She wondered if the words she had said just now.
Had aroused the Holy Son's interest?!
Wishing everyone a happy life!
