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

Chapter 564 A Date with Bibi Dong (3)

After an unknown amount of time, Dai Chengfeng reluctantly released Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong's cheeks were flushed, her breathing slightly disordered, and she buried her head deeply in his chest, even her ears turning crimson.

Dai Chengfeng held her contentedly, feeling the slight trembling of her delicate body in his arms, his chin gently rubbing against the top of her soft, fragrant hair...

"Teacher, shall we go?"

"Hmm~"

Bibi Dong nodded gently, letting Dai Chengfeng put his arm around her slender waist, and they continued their date.

time flies.

As the two walked hand in hand out of the quiet alley, the sun was already setting, and the sky was covered with a magnificent sunset.

The interplay of orange-red and purple-gold hues casts a hazy glow over the magnificent Martial Soul City.

The daytime hustle and bustle gradually subsided, replaced by a warm sense of tranquility.

For the rest of the time, they were just like any other ordinary couple.

Dai Chengfeng, familiar with the area, led Bibi Dong through the crisscrossing streets and alleys of Wuhun City, searching for the unique snack stalls hidden behind the bustling city.

The shop was small and even a bit noisy, with the greasy smell of cooking mixed with the aroma of food and a cacophony of voices. But this was exactly the kind of reality that Bibi Dong, as the Pope, had almost never experienced.

She was used to grand banquets where every dish was as exquisite as a work of art, yet also cold and distant.

Here, Dai Chengfeng smiled as he wiped the oil off the bamboo skewers for her, then held the steaming, fragrant snack to her lips, his eyes full of encouragement and expectation.

Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment, but ultimately abandoned all the reserve and nobility of being a pope.

I tried it like Dai Chengfeng, taking small bites first, then gradually increasing the amount, even getting some sauce on my lips by accident.

On any other day, this would be an absolutely unimaginable breach of etiquette.

But at this moment, looking at the mischievous yet gentle smile in Dai Chengfeng's eyes, she felt not embarrassed at all, but rather a secret pleasure of breaking free from constraints.

The food may not be the most delicious, but it has a warmth and authenticity that blends into the everyday life of the people...

But it left an unforgettable impression on Bibi Dong.

As night quietly fell, the city of Wuhun was illuminated by lanterns, and countless lights began to twinkle, reflecting the sparse, newly appearing stars in the sky.

Dai Chengfeng led Bibi Dong to a shimmering river that flowed through the city.

A large crowd had gathered here sometime earlier, mostly young couples, or parents with young children, enjoying family time together.

Everyone's face was beaming with a relaxed and happy smile...

Upstream, following Dai Chengfeng's instructions, several people took out various exquisitely crafted water lanterns and carefully placed them into the river—lotus-shaped, boat-shaped, animal-shaped…

They drifted gently away with the flowing water, their shimmering lights merging into one.

"This is?"

Bibi Dong found it rather novel, after all, Spirit City didn't seem to have anything like it...

But soon, she saw that Dai Chengfeng was not surprised at all, and she couldn't help but realize something. A smile flashed in her eyes again.

fraud……

They even said they weren't prepared and would just go with the flow...

Just as Bibi Dong was lost in thought, Dai Chengfeng's voice pulled her back from her reverie.

"Teacher, shall we light one too?"

As Dai Chengfeng spoke, he took out two extremely exquisite water lanterns, one in the shape of an elegant bird with outstretched wings, and the other in the shape of a budding violet.

He gently handed the violet lamp to Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong accepted the small, warm water lamp. Her cool fingertips touched the slightly warm lamp wall, and the candlelight cast dancing shadows on her fair palm... She once thought that all her wishes in this life were already closely tied to the grand ambitions of the Spirit Hall and the obsession with revenge born from that unbearable past, leaving no room for anything else.

Power, strength, conquest...

These cold, heavy words constituted her entire world.

But at this moment, holding this faint yet resilient lantern in his palm, a simple, almost mundane thought, unrelated to ambition or revenge, quietly surfaced in his mind...

May there be peace in this moment...

long.

For a moment, Bibi Dong involuntarily raised her eyes and looked at Dai Chengfeng beside her.

Dai Chengfeng was focused on the spirit bird water lantern in his hand, his profile appearing exceptionally gentle in the candlelight.

Bibi Dong quickly lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, concealing the turbulent emotions in her eyes.

Following Dai Chengfeng's example, she squatted down and carefully placed the water lantern into the water.

After the two water lanterns entered the water, they did not drift far away immediately. Instead, they gently swirled on the surface of the water, nestled together, and then slowly drifted into the river of lanterns with the current.

Their light may not be noticeable among the many water lanterns, but in Bibi Dong's eyes, it was brighter than any star.

She watched the two lights nestled together, a rare sense of peace and tenderness washing over her.

Just then, a crisp and sharp explosion suddenly rang out in the night sky!

"Boom-boom!"

Bibi Dong subconsciously looked up and saw the pitch-black night sky as if it had been pierced by an invisible giant brush, and a huge, extremely dazzling golden firework burst into bloom!

Its shape resembles the most magnificent golden chrysanthemum in full bloom, radiant with light and color, with golden rain of light scattering and splashing, instantly illuminating half the sky.

The river below, the buildings, and the faces looking up all seem to be gilded with a dreamlike golden edge.

The first wave of gasps and cheers erupted from the crowd.

However, this is just the beginning.

Then, the second one, the third one...

Red as flames, blue as the deep sea, green as jade...

Countless fireworks streaked across the night sky, climbed to their highest point, and then burst into bloom in their most dazzling form.

Bibi Dong looked up, staring blankly at the dazzling display of colors, and for a moment forgot to breathe.

She had seen more elaborate and grander celebratory fireworks than this, but those belonged to the Spirit Hall and the Pope's majesty, and had nothing to do with her, Bibi Dong, personally.

At this moment, the splendor of the sky, though perhaps only a festive embellishment in the eyes of others, she knew that it must be another masterpiece prepared for her by Dai Chengfeng.

This brilliance blossoms only because she stands here at this moment, solely to bring her a fleeting moment of joy.

An indescribable feeling of emotion and excitement welled up in my heart.

Just then, Dai Chengfeng quietly tightened his grip on her hand, the warmth of his body seeping through their pressed palms. He
He leaned slightly closer to her ear, his deep voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible expectation, drowning out the booming fireworks and the clamor of the crowd, reaching her ears clearly:

"Like it?"

Bibi Dong did not answer, nor could she answer with words.

As yet another enormous, colorful firework exploded overhead, illuminating the entire world as bright as day, and as everyone's gaze was drawn to the fireworks...

Bibi Dong did something that even she herself found hard to believe.

She suddenly turned her head slightly, stood on tiptoe, against the backdrop of dazzling lights.

Amidst the subtle gasps and glances around them, she took the initiative to kiss Dai Chengfeng's lips!
