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

Chapter 487 Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena, a battleground!
As for Dai Chengfeng, his eagerness to let me leave just now, and his subsequent intimate gestures that seemed to be meant to comfort and distract me...

At this moment, all of these have been given reasonable explanations.

The air in the room seemed to freeze.

An awkward, subtle, and oppressive atmosphere, like the calm before the storm, enveloped everyone present.

Three people, three completely different states of mind, yet together they created this suffocating silence.

Looking at the chaotic scene before him, which resembled a large-scale "caught in the act of adultery," Dai Chengfeng felt utterly overwhelmed.

He lamented inwardly: Is this the price of gaining power, that the battleground must descend prematurely in such an incredibly awkward way?

Good heavens, this test is far too exciting!

Tonight's hurdle seems destined to be difficult; if not handled properly, the consequences could be dire.

He took a deep breath, preparing to steel himself and rack his brains for something to say to break the suffocating atmosphere, even if it could only ease it a little bit.

However, it seemed as if fate still felt the scene wasn't chaotic or dramatic enough...

"Boom boom boom!"

A crisp knock on the door broke the deathly silence in the room.

Immediately afterwards, a lively and cheerful girl's voice, tinged with excitement and curiosity, came from outside the door:

"Dai Chengfeng? Are you asleep? I need to talk to you. I'm coming in."

It's Ning Rongrong!

Before the words were even finished, a soft thud could be heard from outside the door as it was gently pushed open!
Clearly, Ning Rongrong wasn't really waiting for a response. Rather, in her usual style, with a touch of the capriciousness of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's little princess, she decided to just walk in!
"!!!"

The three people inside the room froze instantly upon hearing Ning Rongrong's voice and hearing the door open!
Dai Chengfeng's brain almost stopped functioning.

Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena had already given him a lot of trouble, and now Ning Rongrong, who was completely out of the loop and had no romantic relationship with him, had appeared.

If she were to see this scene...

Zhu Zhuqing stood in the room with an icy expression, while Hu Liena, her clothes slightly disheveled and her face flushed, "appeared" from beside the wardrobe...

With Ning Rongrong's clever and gossip-loving little brain, what kind of shocking drama would she imagine?

He could almost foresee Ning Rongrong's eyes lighting up with gossip in an instant, and that scream that would blow the roof off the entire hotel!

Ning Rongrong must not see this!
This was the only thought that Dai Chengfeng, Zhu Zhuqing, and Hu Liena shared at this moment!

Hu Liena reacted the most strongly.

The moment she heard Ning Rongrong's voice, she almost instinctively wanted to find a hiding place again!
Her gaze swept across the room in a panic...

Under the bed? Too low, and the space is too cramped; it might not be possible to completely hide there!

Behind the curtains? They're too thin; the outline is easily visible!

The balcony? There might be someone outside!
The wardrobe from earlier? Are you kidding me? That's practically walking into a trap and giving away your own guilt!
Every option seemed unable to escape both Zhu Zhuqing's icy gaze and Ning Rongrong's imminent entrance.

She stood frozen in place, unsure whether to move forward or backward.

Zhu Zhuqing's brows furrowed instantly, and a clear look of surprise and unease flashed across her usually cold face.

She hadn't expected Ning Rongrong to visit at this crucial moment.

Normally, she wouldn't care, but in this situation...

She glanced quickly at Dai Chengfeng, her eyes filled with complex emotions, but she couldn't worry about that now; she had to deal with the immediate crisis first.

She also didn't want Ning Rongrong to witness this chaotic scene.

In a flash, Dai Chengfeng displayed astonishing adaptability, or rather, the potential forced out of him under immense pressure. He had no time to think, and could only signal with his movements and eyes as quickly as possible!
His gaze suddenly fell on Zhu Zhuqing, then quickly swept over the wardrobe that had just vomited out Hu Liena and whose door was still ajar!
The meaning couldn't be clearer: Quick, go back to hiding with Hu Liena!

Zhu Zhuqing received his gaze, and a flash of extreme resistance instantly crossed her beautiful face!

Let Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena hide in the same wardrobe together?
She's the rightful fiancée, not this vixen, okay?
But the sound of the door being pushed open became clearer, as if Ning Rongrong had increased the force because the door hadn't opened immediately!

Finally, seeing that there was nowhere to hide, Zhu Zhuqing could only glare fiercely at Dai Chengfeng, her eyes clearly saying, "This is not over!"
Then, she flashed and darted towards the wardrobe.

Seeing this, Hu Liena hurriedly crawled back into the wardrobe.

"Big fox, we can talk about our business later. Don't speak yet. I want to see if my 'good fiancé' and this little witch from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are like you!"

Inside the wardrobe.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Hu Liena and pursed her lips.

Hu Liena was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then quickly nodded.

She was also very curious about the relationship between Dai Chengfeng and this little witch from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Are they really just ordinary friends?
Thinking about it, the two of them held their breath for a moment.

And just as the two finished speaking...

With a creak, the door to Dai Chengfeng's room was pushed open from the outside.

Ning Rongrong poked her little head in first, a mischievous smile on her face, her big eyes curiously looking around the room:

Dai Chengfeng? What are you doing? It took you so long to open the door? I thought you were fast asleep…”

Her gaze swept around the room before finally settling on Dai Chengfeng, who was trying to appear calm.

Dai Chengfeng's heart was still pounding in his chest, but he forced himself to calm down quickly, forcing a smile that looked as natural as possible, even though it appeared somewhat stiff.

"Oh, it's Rongrong. What's up so late?"

As he spoke, he subconsciously used his body to slightly block the view of the wardrobe.

In his heart, he was praying, "My dear little aunt, we're innocent, right?"

"Don't you dare say anything outrageous or shocking, or I'll be really finished today!"

"Oh, it's nothing serious."

Ning Rongrong walked in with light steps, casually looking around the room. "I think I just heard a noise from your side? A loud thud. I thought you had fallen."

As she spoke, her gaze inadvertently swept across every corner of the room, including the tightly closed wardrobe.

Dai Chengfeng's heart jumped into his throat. He felt as if two gazes were piercing through the wardrobe door and fixed on his back.

He gave a dry laugh, his mind racing, trying to find a plausible excuse:

"Ah... a noise? Maybe... maybe I accidentally knocked over the chair."

"It's alright, they've already helped him up."

"is it?"

Ning Rongrong blinked her big eyes, seemingly not investigating further, her attention quickly drawn to something else. "Huh? Dai Chengfeng, your breathing seems a bit disordered?"

"Have you been secretly practicing some strange soul skill in your room?"

As she spoke, she moved a little closer.

Suddenly, it seemed somewhat ambiguous.
