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

Chapter 488 Ning Rongrong's Mischief, Brother~
"?"

Dai Chengfeng was startled when he saw Ning Rongrong suddenly approaching: "No, don't mess around!"

"what happened?"

Ning Rongrong looked at Dai Chengfeng's strong reaction with some curiosity.

You're asking me what's wrong?
I have another question for you.

Do you even know what time it is? What are you doing here?
Dai Chengfeng felt the two pairs of 'burning' gazes behind him and inwardly groaned.

"No, it's just that I was thinking about some things just now, and I got a little absorbed in them."

He barely managed to maintain his composure, wanting only to get rid of Ning Rongrong as soon as possible; every second he stayed, his risk increased exponentially!

After all, no one knows what unexpected things this little devil from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might suddenly do.

If he really had something going on with her, Dai Chengfeng would accept it.

But if he hadn't found anything there and was misunderstood, Dai Chengfeng would have been truly devastated.

Just as Dai Chengfeng was thinking about how to get rid of Ning Rongrong...

At this moment, inside the narrow, dark wardrobe, a completely different scene unfolds.

The space was already limited. Hu Liena had to curl up to hide when she was alone, and now two people were crammed in, so you can imagine how crowded it was.

Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena were pressed almost against each other, their arms touching, forced to squeeze into this small space.

In the dark, with limited vision, other senses become exceptionally sharp.

Both of them could clearly feel the lines and temperature of each other's bodies, and could even hear each other's suppressed, faint breathing sounds due to embarrassment.

For a moment, an extremely strange, awkward, and almost suffocating atmosphere filled the air.

Both of them tried their best to lean back, attempting to create even a millimeter of distance between themselves and the other, but the wardrobe space was only so big, where could they hide?
Zhu Zhuqing's whole body stiffened, her lips were tightly pressed together, and her face was as cold as frost.

Hu Liena was also suffering.

She shrank to the other side, trying to minimize her presence, but she still felt very uncomfortable.

All she could do was silently pray that Ning Rongrong would leave soon...

Outside the wardrobe, Dai Chengfeng was struggling to deal with Ning Rongrong.

"Is it really okay?"

Ning Rongrong still seemed a little doubtful. She tilted her head like a curious kitten, "But just now in the corridor, I seemed to vaguely hear girls' voices? It seemed... there was more than one?"

As she spoke, her gaze swept across the room again, this time lingering a moment longer on the closed wardrobe door.

It was that extra moment of pause that caused the hearts of the two people inside the wardrobe to stop simultaneously!
Dai Chengfeng quickly added, "Rongrong, your ears are too sharp! Are you sure you didn't mishear?"

"Where did that girl's voice come from so late at night? It might be coming from another room."

Ning Rongrong gave a skeptical "Oh," but the gossip fire in her bright eyes was clearly not completely extinguished.

She didn't leave immediately; instead, she paced around the room a few steps.

He appeared casual, but his gaze was actually subtly observing.

Dai Chengfeng looked at Ning Rongrong, who had no intention of leaving...

If we let this little devil stay any longer, something terrible is bound to happen!
Thinking.

"Ahem, Rongrong, look how late it is. It's probably not appropriate for a girl like you to stay in my room for too long..."

Dai Chengfeng tried to politely ask the guests to leave.

"What's inappropriate about it?" Ning Rongrong pouted. "Aren't we friends?"

"Besides, doesn't Zhu Qing often come to you to discuss things? I haven't seen you find it inappropriate."

She said it casually...

But inside the wardrobe, Zhu Zhuqing's body stiffened even more, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.

Hu Liena subconsciously shrank her neck. Just as Dai Chengfeng was almost 'desperate' and considering whether to pretend to have a sudden illness to scare Ning Rongrong away, Ning Rongrong suddenly changed the subject herself.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

She waved her hand, seemingly finally remembering the 'real reason' for her visit.

"Actually, I came to find you to ask about our journey tomorrow. What time are we leaving? Will your adventure today affect our travel time tomorrow?"

As she spoke, a sly smile, like that of a little fox, appeared on her face.

At this moment, Dai Chengfeng had no mind to discuss when to set off; he only wanted this little rascal to leave as soon as possible.

He nodded quickly: "Thank you for your concern, Miss Rongrong. It won't affect anything."

"It's really too late now. You should go back and rest first. You need to be well-rested so you can travel properly tomorrow, right?"

“Alright, alright,” Ning Rongrong nodded. “Since you’re in such a hurry to get rid of me, I won’t disturb your ‘rest’.”

She deliberately emphasized the word "rest," with a mischievous smile on her face.

She glanced at the wardrobe again before turning around and walking briskly toward the door.

"I'm leaving now. Goodnight, Dai Chengfeng~ brother!"

Ning Rongrong drew out her words and finally walked out of the room, thoughtfully adding fuel to the fire before leaving.

"Click."

The soft click of the door lock closing was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

???

Seeing Ning Rongrong trying to trick him before leaving, Dai Chengfeng finally understood why she was called the Little Witch.

Before, I had always thought too highly of her, this Ning Rongrong...

She truly is a complete little witch!

Dai Chengfeng sighed helplessly. He knew that the crisis had been temporarily averted...

Because of the little witch's last words, the real storm has probably only just begun.

As Dai Chengfeng pondered this, he turned around with difficulty to face the wardrobe that now seemed to him a thousand times more terrifying than a dragon's den or a tiger's lair.

He took a deep breath and, with trembling hands, slowly, very slowly, opened the wardrobe door.

Light streamed into the wardrobe.

Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena stood stiffly on either side of the narrow space.

Both of them looked extremely grim.

As the cabinet door opened, the long-suppressed, suffocating awkwardness and chilling 'killing intent' surged forth like a flood bursting its banks, instantly engulfing Dai Chengfeng completely.

Zhu Zhuqing stepped out of the wardrobe first, her movements as swift and decisive as ever.

But the low pressure emanating from the surroundings made the room temperature seem to drop several degrees.

"Dai Chengfeng, what just happened to my brother?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Chengfeng with a half-smile.

Hu Liena nodded, "Yes, didn't you say you were absolutely innocent with that little witch from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

"Brother~"

"Are you really that innocent?"

Dai Chengfeng was somewhat bewildered as he looked at the two women who had just been at odds but had suddenly joined forces with their swords.

But soon, he shook his head, laughing and crying at the same time, "Ning Rongrong and I are really innocent. That's just her personality. I guess she found out about you two!"

You have to believe me!
