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

Chapter 567 Hu Liena's Interruption
In the end, Dai Chengfeng simply held her quietly, enjoying this intimate tranquility.

Bibi Dong did not resist; she leaned back, bringing herself closer to his warm embrace.

Neither of them spoke again, and only the sound of their even breathing filled the bedroom.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

"Boom boom boom——"

A soft yet clear knock broke the silence of the night.

Bibi Dong's body stiffened instantly, and almost reflexively, she reached out and grabbed Dai Chengfeng's unruly hand.

At the same time, she quickly turned her head, put a slender finger to her lips, and mouthed "shush" to Dai Chengfeng...

A barely perceptible hint of panic flashed in her purple eyes.

Dai Chengfeng immediately understood, stopped all his movements, and even softened his breathing.

Who would knock on the door of the Pope's bedroom in the dead of night?
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, forcing her voice to sound calm and even slightly annoyed at being disturbed from her sleep, and asked in a raised voice:

"Who?"

A soft, respectful female voice came from outside the door: "Teacher, it's me."

The voice outside the door was charming and alluring; Dai Chengfeng instantly recognized it as Hu Liena.

Bibi Dong felt a slight sense of relief, but then her heart tightened again.

Why did Hu Liena come to see her so late?
She glanced instinctively at Dai Chengfeng, who was standing right in front of her. Dai Chengfeng was also looking at her, and in the exchange of their eyes, they both understood each other's concerns...

We must not let Hu Liena discover that Dai Chengfeng is still in the Pope's bedroom late at night, and in such a state as to be lying in bed.

"Lena, what's wrong so late?"

Bibi Dong maintained a steady tone, even deliberately adding a touch of languor, as if she had just been awakened from a dream.

"I've already rested. Unless it's urgent, let's discuss it again tomorrow."

Hu Liena, standing outside the door, seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still said, "Teacher, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

"However... I do have something I'd like to ask you. May I... come inside and talk to you?"

Go in?!
Bibi Dong and Dai Chengfeng both felt a sudden tightness in their chests.

If she were to come in and see this scene, what would become of her? The Spirit Hall would likely erupt in a massive uproar.

Bibi Dong immediately refused, her tone carrying an unquestionable authority: "No need, let's talk outside. It's inconvenient for me to get up and put on my robe."

Hu Liena, standing outside the door, seemed somewhat disappointed, but dared not disobey her teacher's orders, and could only reply, "Yes, teacher."

She paused, as if organizing her thoughts, before asking, "Teacher, have you... seen Chengfeng since this evening?"

In the bedroom.

Dai Chengfeng, lying behind Bibi Dong, raised an eyebrow slightly when he heard his name asked by Hu Liena.

"Dai Chengfeng?"

Bibi Dong was also somewhat surprised.

“Yes,” Hu Liena continued, “He came back from the Star Dou Great Forest and said he wanted to come and pay his respects to you, Teacher, immediately.”

"But...ever since he entered the Papal Palace, no one has seen him again."

“I’ve been looking for him for a long time, and I’ve searched all the places he usually goes, but I can’t find him anywhere.”

"This guy, I wonder where he's gone. It's really worrying." Her tone was filled with obvious concern and a hint of barely perceptible complaint, clearly indicating that she had put a lot of effort into finding Dai Chengfeng.

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's heart tightened slightly at first, but then an indescribable warm current, tinged with sweetness, quietly swept through her heart.

Dai Chengfeng did not lie to her.

After he returned, he didn't even go back to his own place; he came straight to her place.

This prioritization and urgency eased her tension caused by Hu Liena's late-night search, and even stirred a secret joy within her.

She turned her head slightly and glanced at Dai Chengfeng out of the corner of her eye, only to meet his smiling, somewhat smug gaze, as if to say:
"See, teacher, I was right, wasn't I? I only think about you."

Bibi Dong couldn't help but secretly glare at him, signaling him to behave, before clearing her throat and speaking towards the door:

“Chengfeng…I’ve met him before.”

"Oh? You've seen him, teacher? Where is he now?"

Hu Liena's voice immediately became somewhat urgent.

Bibi Dong remained calm and composed, responding with a pre-prepared excuse: "He did indeed come to pay his respects to me."

"However, I noticed that his cultivation seemed to have improved, so I sent him to handle a confidential matter."

"This matter concerns the secrets of the Spirit Hall. You don't need to ask about the specific details."

Her words were perfectly worded, explaining Dai Chengfeng's whereabouts while using the "confidential matter" to block Hu Liena from further questioning, and even implying that Dai Chengfeng might have already left the Papal Palace area.

"Top secret?"

Hu Liena's tone was skeptical, "So rushed? You didn't even have time to say hello?"

Just then, Dai Chengfeng, who was lying behind Bibi Dong, saw that the crisis seemed to have been temporarily averted, and his teacher was so close, with a warm and soft body in his arms. His previously suppressed thoughts resurfaced.

While Bibi Dong was focused on dealing with Hu Liena outside the door, his hand, which had been obediently resting on her body, began to wander.

His fingertips, burning hot, moved very slowly and intimately down her smooth skin...

"Um……"

Bibi Dong was focused on dealing with Hu Liena when she was caught off guard by the sudden attack and trembled all over.

She bit her lower lip hard, her cheeks instantly flushing red. She turned around and glared at Dai Chengfeng, her eyes full of warning, both angry and ashamed.

That little bastard!

They're getting bolder and bolder! Don't they even know what time it is?!
Dai Chengfeng ignored the warning look and instead went further, leaning in to gently peck her earlobe, which was slightly red from nervousness.

With a smug grin on his face, he mouthed the following silently:
"Teacher, please continue making this up."

Bibi Dong was so angry she wanted to hit him, but she didn't dare to make too much noise. She could only grab his wicked wrist and try to pull it away.

But Dai Chengfeng's arm was like an iron band, and she couldn't break free for a while. The two engaged in a silent "struggle" under the covers.

Hu Liena, standing outside the door, seemed to have heard a very faint groan and asked in confusion:
"Teacher? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Bibi Dong was startled and quickly suppressed the strange feeling in her body, trying her best to make her voice sound calm and normal, even with a hint of impatience at being interrupted from her sleep:
"It's nothing... I'm just a little thirsty."

"Nana, you don't need to worry about Chengfeng. He will come back when he finishes his business."

"If there is nothing else urgent, you may leave. I need to rest."

She had to end this conversation as soon as possible, otherwise who knew what other outrageous things this lawless little rascal might do?
