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

Chapter 570 Reunion with Liu Erlong

As he thought about it, Dai Chengfeng became increasingly uneasy.

Fortunately, the lights were off, and in the darkness, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't clearly see the subtle changes in his facial expressions.

"Um... the details of the mission need to be kept confidential; the teacher personally instructed me on this."

Dai Chengfeng could only speak vaguely again, then tightened his arms, pulling the girl closer into his embrace, gently stroking Zhu Zhuqing's smooth back, feeling her body gradually relax, trying to change the subject.

"Don't worry, I'm back safe and sound, aren't I? It's not even dawn yet, go back to sleep..."

Dai Chengfeng's voice carried a deliberately crafted weariness and a sense of reassurance.

really……

Zhu Zhuqing sensed the 'weariness' in Dai Chengfeng's words and assumed it was due to exhaustion from carrying out the so-called secret mission. The slight annoyance she felt for waiting was instantly replaced by heartache.

She obediently found a more comfortable position in his arms, pressed her cheek against his warm chest, softly hummed in agreement, and closed her eyes again.

However, the arms wrapped around his waist tightened slightly.

Dai Chengfeng held the docile girl in his arms, the unique, cool fragrance emanating from her lingering around his nose, and rested his chin on the top of Zhu Zhuqing's soft hair...

She slowly closed her eyes, but wasn't sleepy at all.

The room returned to silence, but this time, the even breathing sounds became two intertwined breaths.

The sky outside the window was gradually turning from deep blue to pale white, and the faint light filtering through the gaps in the curtains quietly outlined the silhouettes of the two people embracing on the bed.

As dawn broke, Dai Chengfeng noticed that Zhu Zhuqing in his arms stirred, as if she was about to wake up.

He had barely slept all night, but now he immediately adjusted his breathing and pretended to still be fast asleep.

Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes, blinked in confusion, and felt a strong and warm embrace behind her. Memories returned, and a subtle tenderness flashed across her cool face.

She moved carefully, trying to get up without waking Dai Chengfeng.

But Dai Chengfeng's arms tightened around her, and his hoarse voice, still trembling from just waking up, rang in her ear:

"Lie down a little longer..."

Zhu Zhuqing's body stiffened slightly, then relaxed, and she whispered:

"It's dawn, time to get up."

Dai Chengfeng reluctantly released his arm and sat up as well.

The two exchanged a glance. Zhu Zhuqing blushed slightly, quickly looked away, and got out of bed to straighten her somewhat disheveled clothes.

Dai Chengfeng gazed at her slender figure, his heart filled with longing...

Just as the two finished getting ready, there was a gentle knock on the door.

Zhu Zhuqing went to open the door, and standing outside was Zhu Hongxiu, who had a worried look on her face.

Zhu Hongxiu didn't seem surprised to see Zhu Zhuqing open the door, but her gaze quickly passed over her and landed on Dai Chengfeng inside the house. Seeing that he was safe and sound, she clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chengfeng, you're finally back."

Zhu Hongxiu walked into the room, took his hand, and looked him up and down. "Where have you been these past two days and two nights?"

"Not even a word. Do you know how worried your mother is?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Chengfeng quickly used the same words he had used to deal with Zhu Zhuqing, speaking in a comforting tone: "I'm sorry to have worried Mother."

"My teacher assigned me to a confidential mission at the last minute. There was no time to notify him."

"Look, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

Zhu Hongxiu frowned slightly upon hearing this, but since it involved Pope Bibi Dong, she didn't press further, only offering a slightly reproachful remark:

"Even if it's a mission assigned by His Holiness the Pope, he should at least try to send a message back."

"Don't do that again next time."

"Yes, yes, son knows he was wrong." Dai Chengfeng readily agreed, affectionately taking his mother's arm. "Next time, I'll definitely let you know in advance."

After comforting his mother, Dai Chengfeng and Zhu Zhuqing went to have breakfast together.

They happened to run into Hu Liena and Ning Rongrong on the way.

When Hu Liena saw Dai Chengfeng, a hint of surprise flashed in her charming fox-like eyes, followed by scrutiny: "Oh, our busy man has finally appeared?"

"He's been elusive these past few days, where has he been enjoying himself?"

Ning Rongrong chimed in from the side, her temper flaring, and she scolded playfully:

"Exactly! We thought you'd been captured and locked up in a dark room by some Title Douluo!"

Dai Chengfeng smiled bitterly to himself, but maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, and reiterated his excuse for the third time:
"My two little ladies, please don't make fun of me. I just finished a confidential mission assigned by my teacher and haven't even had a good night's sleep."

He yawned at just the right moment, a hint of weariness appearing on his face.

"You're right. Next time you disappear, remember to say goodbye so people don't worry."

Ning Rongrong didn't think too much about it. When she heard that Dai Chengfeng was going on a mission, her displeasure dissipated. Instead, she became curious about the mission details, but Dai Chengfeng vaguely brushed her off with the word "classified."

Breakfast ended in a slightly awkward atmosphere.

…………

…………

After the meal, Dai Chengfeng left his residence, citing the need for quiet meditation.

He then arrived at the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan's stronghold in Wuhun City, a rather quiet and elegant courtyard.

"I wonder if Liu Erlong has left yet?"

Logically speaking, Liu Erlong should have left long ago by now; Dai Chengfeng came over just to confirm.

After all, we've only completed half of the campaign, and now we've been separated for so long, it's almost like we have to start all over again.

Dai Chengfeng was almost mentally prepared to start all over again.

But soon, to Dai Chengfeng's slight surprise, although the courtyard was quiet, there was no dust at the entrance, and the flowers and plants inside looked as if someone had taken care of them, not as if no one had lived there for a long time.

"Has she not left yet?"

Dai Chengfeng's heart stirred, and he pushed open the door and entered.

The courtyard was quiet.

He walked straight to the main house, the door of which was ajar.

Gently push it open, and a strong smell of alcohol mixed with the woman's faint body fragrance wafts out.

The scene inside the room stunned Dai Chengfeng.

Liu Erlong was wearing an extremely daring black lace lingerie, exposing large areas of her snow-white skin and alluring curves to the air. She only casually draped an open black silk nightgown over it, adding to her decadent and seductive charm.

She slumped limply in a large armchair, her eyes glazed over, her cheeks flushed and her gaze unfocused.

Seven or eight empty wine bottles were scattered on the table and the floor nearby, and the air was filled with the smell of someone still hungover.

She really didn't leave?
And... is it in this state?
Dai Chengfeng was even more surprised, "Why didn't they leave?"

As Dai Chengfeng pondered this, he gently closed the door, walked to Liu Erlong's side, bent down, and whispered:

"Teacher Erlong?"

Sensing someone approaching, Liu Erlong's hazy eyes snapped open instantly. Despite being deeply drunk, her instinctive reaction as a Soul Saint was still present. A sharp aura suddenly erupted from her body, and she unconsciously gathered her soul power in her hand, ready to strike the person who had approached.

"It's me! Dai Chengfeng!"

Dai Chengfeng quickly spoke up and gently blocked the attack.
