Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 301 Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue in a Drunken Dream

His Holiness the Pope was fair-skinned and slender, yet not frail. He had a considerable weight to him when held in his arms. His warm body, carrying a rich aroma of wine and a faint fragrance of coolness, instantly filled Dai Chengfeng's embrace.

"Um……"

Disturbed, Bibi Dong let out a muffled nasal sound, her long eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes a crack.

A hazy, purple gaze, heavy with moisture, met Dai Chengfeng's face, which was inches away.

"...Chengfeng?"

Bibi Dong's voice was light and airy, filled with a deep sleepiness and trust.

Once she confirmed it was him, her tense body relaxed almost instantly. Her head obediently, even affectionately, rested on his shoulder, and she subconsciously snuggled against his chest, finding a more comfortable position.

"Well, it's me."

Dai Chengfeng nodded and spoke softly, his voice deliberately softened to reassure him, "Teacher, I'll take you to rest."

As he spoke, Dai Chengfeng tightened his arms.

"...Okay... good..."

Bibi Dong responded vaguely, her eyes slowly closing again, as docile as a precious pedigree cat being held in its owner's arms, her breathing becoming long and even once more.

Dai Chengfeng carried Bibi Dong and walked towards the master bedroom in the suite.

Bibi Dong's slender, fair legs dangled in the air, swaying with Dai Chengfeng's steps.

Soon, Dai Chengfeng entered the room and gently placed her on the huge round bed covered with velvet sheets, tucking her in.

But Dai Chengfeng did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he gazed at that stunningly beautiful face, which had let down all its defenses and appeared exceptionally pure in its sleep, for a moment before turning around and leaving the master bedroom, gently closing the door behind him.

Then, Dai Chengfeng returned to the living room.

His gaze fell on the blonde beauty on the carpet, who was also lost in a dream.

Dai Chengfeng walked to Qian Renxue's side and bent down.

"Xiaoxue, wake up?"

He called softly and gently nudged her shoulder.

Qian Renxue's reaction was slower than Bibi Dong's.

Her furrowed brows seemed to tighten even more from being disturbed, and her long, golden eyelashes trembled, as if she was trying hard to open them but was being pulled away by sleepiness.

"Hmm...who...?"

Her voice was languid and hoarse, filled with drowsiness and displeasure at being disturbed.

"It's me, Dai Chengfeng."

Dai Chengfeng leaned close to her ear and said, "You're drunk. I'll carry you back to your room to rest."

Qian Renxue trembled slightly at the warmth of the breath brushing against her ear.

“…Dai…Chengfeng?”

She struggled to open her eyes, her vision still blurry, and she could only barely make out a tall, slender silhouette. But she would never mistake those heterochromatic golden-blue eyes that were so clear in her memory and that made her heart flutter.

Once it was confirmed that it was Dai Chengfeng, Qian Renxue's tense nerves also relaxed.

She didn't even pretend to be reserved and refuse or push away Dai Chengfeng's approach as usual. She just nodded drowsily and very slightly, and mumbled an indistinct "hmm".

She then relaxed her body, letting the dizziness brought on by the alcohol completely overwhelm her again. Her eyelashes closed again, and Dai Chengfeng's arms passed through her knees and back, lifting her up steadily.

Dai Chengfeng walked very lightly, carrying the soft and docile Qian Renxue, through the spacious and luxurious living room, and towards the second bedroom in the suite.

The layout of this secondary bedroom is similar to that of the master bedroom, featuring an equally enormous and soft round bed.

Dai Chengfeng carefully placed Qian Renxue on the other side of the bed—a luxurious bed exactly like the one in the master bedroom, only this time, it was closer to him.

Dai Chengfeng did not rush to leave either, but sat down by the bed.

In the dim light, the girl's graceful neck and a small patch of collarbone were visible below her neckline.

Her delicate skin shimmered like pearls in the moonlight, and a streak of wine smudged across her snow-white skin, leaving a blurred trail that disappeared into her clothes.

"So careless..." Dai Chengfeng said, smiling as he took a clean white silk handkerchief from his soul guidance ring, dipped it in the clean, cool water from the glass on the bedside table, and gently...

Wipe Qian Renxue's collar and neck edges, where the wine had soaked in.

The cool touch and the occasional unintentional touch of fingertips made the sleeping Qian Renxue emit an unconscious, very slight whimper, like the comfortable purring of a small animal being stroked.

Her lips moved slightly, exhaling warm breath.

Dai Chengfeng wiped it very carefully and slowly...

After wiping it completely clean, Dai Chengfeng's gaze fell on the empty half of the bed on the other side next to Qian Renxue.

Then she turned her head to look in the direction of the door—that was the location of the master bedroom, where Bibi Dong was fast asleep on the large bed.

"Two stunning beauties, why must each be left alone in an empty bed? It's just... such a dilemma!"

Finally, Dai Chengfeng took one last deep look at the closed door of the master bedroom and prepared to get up.

After all, she's sharing a bed with Bibi Dong, so even if she finds out tomorrow morning, she'll only be nervous at most, nothing more.

But if it were Qian Renxue... tsk tsk~
However, just as Dai Chengfeng was about to get up and leave...

A cool yet soft hand suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

"Don't go..."

Her voice was soft, heavy with sleepiness and a hint of barely perceptible dependence, as if she were talking in her sleep. These words came from Qian Renxue's slightly dry lips.

Dai Chengfeng paused and looked down.

Qian Renxue kept her eyes closed, her long golden eyelashes covering her eyes like butterfly wings, but the fingers that were gripping his sleeve tightly were very firm.

Seeing this, Dai Chengfeng sat down again on the edge of the bed. He didn't forcefully break free, but rather, with a hint of inquiry and reassurance, he gently stroked the back of her hand that was holding his with his other hand, his fingertips lightly caressing her delicate skin. His voice softened even more, as if he were coaxing a restless child.

"What's wrong, Xiaoxue?"

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Qian Renxue did not answer immediately. Her eyelashes trembled a few times, and her hazy, pale golden eyes reflected Dai Chengfeng's face in the dim light.

“…Dai Chengfeng,” she said indistinctly, her warm breath falling on his face.

"...She's leaving tomorrow..."

Upon hearing this, Dai Chengfeng's pupils suddenly contracted!
Are you leaving tomorrow?

Bibi Dong is leaving?!

Does that mean I'll be taken away by her too? Why so suddenly?

However, Dai Chengfeng soon realized that the conversation in the room just now had helped Bibi Dong resolve her inner conflict.
Thinking it over, Dai Chengfeng spoke, his tone inquiring.

"……you?"

"Um……"

Qian Renxue let out a muffled nasal sound, as if confirming something, or perhaps just an unconscious murmur.

"...She said...she needed to leave for a while...to take care of the final matters..."

No further words are needed.

Dai Chengfeng understood.

So that's really how it is... The knot in my heart has been untied? At least, I've taken a crucial first step.

Although Dai Chengfeng felt he should be happy for Bibi Dong, the thought of not seeing Qian Renxue for several months or even a year and a half made him hesitate...

And this time.

Qian Renxue's hazy golden eyes seemed to see through Dai Chengfeng's thoughts.

"You...can't bear to..."
