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

Chapter 454 Bibi Dong Compromises Again

Dai Chengfeng felt the delicate body beneath his palm seem to tense up slightly.

He continued, his voice deep and magnetic: "Not to mention that my life was spared by you, Master. If you wanted to kill me, Dai Chengfeng would no longer exist."

"I would be content if I could be of any help to you, teacher, and help you achieve your wish more quickly."

"No matter how strong I am, how can I compare to you, teacher?"

Dai Chengfeng's words were deep and fervent: "Let alone this little bit of power, even if you need all of my soul power, cultivation, or even my life, I will not hesitate for a moment, and I will have no regrets."

"It is my greatest wish and honor to be able to serve you, my teacher."

"you……"

Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted, her delicate body trembled violently, and she froze on the spot in disbelief.

In the Douluo Continent, where strength reigns supreme, Soul Masters are willing to fight to the death to increase their Soul Power by one level or obtain a Soul Bone. It is not uncommon for fathers and sons to turn against each other and for masters and disciples to become enemies.

Power is the foundation of everything; it is the guarantee of survival and the ladder to ambition.

How could anyone... how could anyone so easily say something like "I would give my all, even my life, without regret"?

She had been convinced that Dai Chengfeng's current infatuation with her was perhaps due to the blinding influence of youthful, passionate love, or perhaps due to his status and excessive attachment to her.

But deep down, it's impossible for them to be completely without resentment about having their power drained.

She had even prepared her response to his potential resentment and doubts in the future.

I never expected to receive such an answer.

So thorough, so reckless, could it be that he... really...

An indescribable surge of complex emotions overwhelmed Bibi Dong like a tidal wave.

She remained silent, her body trembling slightly, her mind in turmoil like never before.

The past hurts and the firmly held theory of "exploitation" are in fierce conflict with the extreme care I have felt last night and even now.

She suddenly remembered the focused and passionate look in his eyes every time he looked at her, his careful touches, his restraint in prioritizing her feelings even in the most passionate moments, and the doting look in his eyes when he woke up in the morning...

And at this moment, the way he is carefully rubbing his back is so natural, so full of affection.

Can all of this really be simply dismissed with the word "exploitation"?
Perhaps... he really is different?

Bibi Dong remained silent for a very long time.

Dai Chengfeng didn't say anything more, but patiently and gently continued his work, as if his words were just the most ordinary love talk.

Finally, Bibi Dong seemed to have made up her mind.

She slowly, very slowly turned around.

The misty vapor blurred her features, but made her deep purple eyes even more captivating. They churned with complex emotions that Dai Chengfeng had never seen before: waves of emotion, wavering confusion, and a trace of... longing.

She said nothing, but simply stretched out her wet, jade-like arm and gently, with a barely perceptible tremor, wrapped it around Dai Chengfeng's neck.

Then she nestled her body against his warm, strong chest and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

The warm pool water washed over their shoulders, their skin pressed together, and they could hear each other's heartbeats.

Dai Chengfeng was slightly taken aback, and then he subconsciously reached out and hugged the delicate body that had willingly thrown itself into his arms.

However, the next second, a slight stinging pain suddenly shot through his shoulder. "Hiss!"

Dai Chengfeng couldn't help but hiss softly.

It was Bibi Dong. She opened her mouth and, with her neat, white teeth, bit his shoulder lightly.

The feeling wasn't painful; instead, it carried a strange ambiguity and intimacy.

What made him even more aroused was that the spot where he had been bitten was gently licked by her with infinite apology and alluring charm, as if soothing a non-existent wound.

Dai Chengfeng's body tensed instantly, and his breathing became heavy.

Then, he heard the person resting on his shoulder speak softly, in a voice that was barely audible yet still trembling, as faint as a mosquito's buzz:

"If you want to... then... come find me again tonight..."

After saying those words, it seemed as if she had used up all her courage, and the arm around his neck trembled slightly.

Dai Chengfeng was struck dumb, his whole body stiffened, and he almost doubted that he was hallucinating!

He suddenly grabbed Bibi Dong's shoulders, pushed her away slightly, and looked incredulously into her purple eyes, which were glistening with embarrassment and almost dared not meet his gaze. His voice was hoarse with extreme surprise:
"Teacher...you...what did you say? Say it again?!"

Seeing Dai Chengfeng's delighted expression, Bibi Dong's last bit of hesitation and shame suddenly vanished, replaced by an indescribable warmth and... a touch of pride.

She quickly lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes trembling like injured butterfly wings, but her tone deliberately feigned a hint of disgust and anger:
"Fine, if you didn't hear me! You idiot... You're all done washing up, you... you should just leave!"

But this is undoubtedly a confirmation once again.

Dai Chengfeng was overjoyed and almost jumped up.

But he held back, knowing he couldn't push her too hard, lest she change her mind again.

He tried to calm his racing heart, his face beaming with an irrepressible smile, and nodded emphatically:
"Okay! I'm leaving! Teacher, I'll come back tonight! I promise!"

Seeing his ecstatic expression, Bibi Dong couldn't help but let a very shallow and gentle smile appear on her lips. Although she suppressed it instantly, the warm smile in her eyes could not be completely hidden.

She turned around, her back to him, leaned back against the pool wall, closed her eyes, and softly murmured "Mmm" in an almost inaudible voice.

It seemed like just an unconscious hum, but the slightly reddened earlobes betrayed the turmoil in her heart.

Dai Chengfeng knew that this was her biggest concession and tacit approval.

Without further delay, he suppressed his excitement, quickly got up, left the bath, dried himself, and dressed.

"Teacher, well... this disciple will take his leave now."

He stood by the pool, looking at the smooth, white back that was turned away from him, his voice still filled with barely suppressed excitement.

“…Mmm.” Another very soft response.

Dai Chengfeng gazed deeply at her retreating figure, as if trying to etch this moment into his heart, before turning around and striding away.

His steps were light and eager.

Listening to the footsteps gradually fading away until they completely disappeared behind the door of the outer palace, Bibi Dong slowly let out a sigh of relief.

She remained leaning against the pool wall, neither turning around nor moving.
