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

Chapter 511 Don't leave tonight...

The knocking sounded again.

Dai Chengfeng was slightly taken aback. "Who is it this time?"

He got up, walked to the door, and opened it again.

Standing outside the door was Zhu Zhuqing.

She was still dressed in a form-fitting black dress that accentuated her slender and alluring figure. Her exquisitely beautiful face appeared even more stunning and aloof in the dim light of the corridor lamp.

She seemed to have just taken a bath; her long, ink-black hair was still slightly damp, casually draped over her shoulders, losing some of her usual sharpness and gaining a rare gentleness.

However, those clear eyes seemed even more profound and unfathomable than usual when they looked at Dai Chengfeng.

"Zhu Qing? Come in quickly."

Dai Chengfeng stepped aside to make way, his tone gentle.

Zhu Zhuqing gave a soft "hmm" and stepped in, her movements as light as a nimble cat.

She entered the room but didn't sit down. Instead, she stood in the center, her gaze seemingly casually sweeping across the room before finally settling on Dai Chengfeng's face. She asked in a calm tone:
"Still not resting?"

"I'm about to start practicing for a while."

Dai Chengfeng closed the door, walked to her side, and naturally took her hand. He felt the slight coolness of her fingertips, but she did not pull away as quickly as usual. She just stiffened slightly and then let him hold her hand.

"And you? Did you need something?"

Zhu Zhuqing slightly turned her head, avoiding Dai Chengfeng's overly direct gaze, her voice still cold:
"nothing."

"Just... let's see if you're settled in properly. We'll be entering the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow, so we need to stay vigilant."

This sounded reasonable, but Dai Chengfeng confirmed his guess from her subtle pause and the barely perceptible glance that swept across the door.

His little wildcat probably saw Ning Rongrong leaving his room just now. Although he remained calm on the surface, his heart was in turmoil.

This unspoken concern stirred a sense of tenderness and a smile in Dai Chengfeng's heart.

He gently pulled Zhu Zhuqing closer to him with a slight force, while his other hand naturally wrapped around her slender and supple waist.

The two were instantly close, so close that they could smell the delicate fragrance in her hair and feel the sudden tension in her body.

"Really... just came to check if I've settled in?"

Dai Chengfeng lowered his head, his forehead almost touching hers. His warm breath brushed against her smooth forehead and slightly trembling eyelashes. His voice was low and magnetically seductive.

"My Zhuqing, when did you learn to beat around the bush?"

Zhu Zhuqing was held in his arms, surrounded by his strong masculine aura. She felt her cheeks burning and her heart racing uncontrollably.

She tried to break free, but the arms around her waist were strong and firm, carrying an air of undeniable authority. Deep down, she didn't seem to really want to leave this warm embrace.

She tried her best to remain calm, but the blush creeping up her ears betrayed her:

"I...I didn't. Let me go."

"Don't let it go."

Dai Chengfeng chuckled softly, looking at her rare display of embarrassment, finding her a hundred times more captivating than her usual aloof demeanor.

His hand, which was around her waist, gently caressed her, feeling the slight warmth emanating from her firm skin beneath the fabric, and the flutter in his heart grew even stronger.

"Rongrong came to give me something, it's that ring from the market. She said it feels special and might be useful to me."

He took the initiative to explain, not wanting her to misunderstand anything.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing, though still not looking at him, seemed to relax slightly, though she still said calmly:

"She is... thoughtful."

These words, tinged with a hint of bitterness yet feigned indifference, completely pleased Dai Chengfeng. No longer content with this distance, he gently lifted her slightly cool chin with his fingers, forcing her to look up at him.

Those usually cool and aloof eyes were now shimmering with complex emotions—shyness, nervousness, and a barely perceptible stirring of feelings.

"Nothing can compare to my cat in my arms right now, it makes my heart flutter more."

Dai Chengfeng's voice was deep and tender. Before he finished speaking, he leaned down and captured her slightly parted lips.

"Well……"

Zhu Zhuqing trembled and instinctively tried to back away, but Dai Chengfeng held her firmly in his arms.

Her initial resistance melted away like ice and snow, and her tense body gradually softened under Dai Chengfeng's gentle yet firm kisses.

The hand that had been resting against his chest had somehow transformed into a gentle grip on his collar.

Dai Chengfeng meticulously traced the shape of her lips, patiently guiding her awkward response, until he felt her breathing become disordered and her delicate body tremble slightly...

She reluctantly pulled away slightly, but her lips still lightly touched each other.

Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were glistening with tears. Her usual aloof demeanor was replaced by a languid and powerless air.

He was breathing heavily and could only stand up with the support of Dai Chengfeng.

"Don't leave tonight."

Dai Chengfeng gently brushed her moist, swollen lips with his fingertips, whispering hoarsely in her ear. His warm breath filled her sensitive earlobe, causing her to shudder slightly.

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly snapped out of her daze, a flicker of panic in her eyes, and instinctively shook her head: "No...no! Absolutely not!"

A man and a woman alone in a room, what if someone found out...?

Dai Chengfeng hugged her tighter, gently resting his chin on the top of her head, inhaling the fragrance of her hair. "I'll just hold you while we sleep, I promise I won't do anything else."

"The Starry Sky Forest is fraught with danger. I just want to be by your side so I can feel more at ease."

His tone carried an undeniable forcefulness: "Let me hold you, okay? My little kitty."

Zhu Zhuqing was torn internally.

Reason told her that this was improper, too risky, and if word got out...

How can she face anyone now?

Emotionally, Dai Chengfeng's warm embrace, his strong heartbeat, and his gentle words...

In the end, she remained silent, neither agreeing nor strongly objecting.

She simply buried her burning cheeks deeper into his chest; this silent consent filled Dai Chengfeng with immense joy and satisfaction.

He knew that this was the biggest concession Zhu Zhuqing could make, given her aloof and conservative personality.

"good."

Dai Chengfeng placed a light kiss on her hair, then bent down, slipped one hand under her knees, and easily lifted her up in his arms.

Zhu Zhuqing gasped and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, her cheeks flushed red as if they were about to bleed, but she buried her face in his shoulder and dared not look at him.

Dai Chengfeng carried her to the bedside, gently placed her on the inside of the bed, and then lay down on the outside himself, pulling the thin blanket over both of them.

Throughout the entire process, Zhu Zhuqing remained as stiff as a piece of wood.

Her eyes were tightly closed, and her long eyelashes trembled incessantly with tension.

Dai Chengfeng turned to the side, stretched out his long arm, and pulled her slender, slightly cool body into his embrace, pressing her back against his chest.

His palm naturally rested on her flat stomach, feeling her instant tension.
