Good heavens, the ancestor has gone to confess his love again!

"ah?!"

Meng Yuxuan froze on the spot, her cherry-like mouth suddenly opening into a round "O" shape, her adorable little head buzzing, completely dumbfounded.

A gift for my best friend?

And this kind of operation?

Meng Luoli, who had remained silent all along, nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, a hint of understanding flashing in her clear, cold eyes. Suddenly, she spoke softly, asking earnestly:

"Then... how many should we send?"

Meng Anran's eyebrows curved into crescents, her stunningly beautiful face adorned with a perfectly measured gentle smile, her red lips slightly upturned, as she softly spoke:

"To be on the safe side, two should be enough for now."

two?

Meng Yuxuan was even more confused.

Besides Bai Ruoning, who else is there?

Could it be that flirtatious Hu Jiaojiao?

"It's easy to talk about the others, but would Sister Bai Ruoning be willing?" Meng Luoli asked again.

"Hehe~~ You'll know once you try!"

Meng Anran's luscious red lips curled slightly, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

……

The sun sets in the west.

Night quietly enveloped the entire Yu Mengze, and the gilded lights of the palaces lit up one after another, their soft glow like water.

Tomorrow will be the day when the Xu family and everyone from the Guanghan Immortal Palace return to the Kunxu Realm.

They had previously tested it; the laws of heaven and earth in the Kunxu Realm were unique, with its own restrictive barriers, allowing only native beings to freely enter. Cultivators like Bai Ruoning from the Yunmengze Marsh were temporarily unable to enter the realm with them.

So, taking this opportunity, Meng Anran specially prepared an exquisite dinner and entertained Bai Ruoning alone with Xu Pingsheng.

The group sipped their finest wine and chatted idly about romance and nature. Naturally, the conversation turned to Xiao Meng'er's cultivation.

Meng Anran raised her glass and took a small sip, her gaze gentle, and asked softly:

"Sister Ruoning, you've worked hard these past few days accompanying Meng'er in her cultivation. I wonder how Meng'er's foundation is progressing? Are her temperament and cultivation methods still sound?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoning composed herself, straightened her posture, and replied earnestly:

"Meng'er's talent is unparalleled throughout the ages, and her mind is intelligent and insightful. In just three days, she has already gained a preliminary understanding of the 'Eternal Night Demon Codex,' and her cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds. It is unimaginable that she will become a supreme demonic powerhouse among the top in the heavens in the future."

"Moreover, the Eternal Night Codex truly lives up to its reputation as the supreme demonic technique; it doesn't affect anything at all..."

Just as she was about to elaborate on the details of cultivation, her delicate body suddenly stiffened.

Her jade-like feet tensed subconsciously, her slender shoulders trembled almost imperceptibly, and a delicate, tingling sensation suddenly rose in her heart.

The table was large, and a brocade curtain hung down, obscuring all the light and shadows beneath it.

In the shadows, a warm, slender foot silently crossed the boundary.

Through a thin, cloud-like white dress, on her calves...

Gently...

In an instant, the cool night breeze seemed to turn scorching hot.

Bai Ruoning's breathing became slightly sluggish, and a faint blush crept onto her ears. Her usually aloof and detached state of mind was completely thrown into disarray, and even the words she spoke were slightly halted.

Bai Ruoning suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, forced herself to remain calm, and raised her eyes, her gaze quietly sweeping over Xu Pingsheng and Meng Anran.

Xu Pingsheng, seated at the head of the table, held a jade cup between his fingers, his posture relaxed as he slowly sipped the celestial wine. His expression was calm and serene, revealing no sign of anything amiss, as if the alluring probing beneath the table had nothing to do with him.

Then look at Meng Anran beside him.

She had just taken a sip of celestial dew, her red lips glistening with a faint sheen, and she smiled as she awaited what she would say next, her demeanor dignified, composed, and poised.

Seeing this, Bai Ruoning's tense nerves relaxed a little, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I guess I was being too sensitive and seeing threats everywhere.

It must have been an accident...

It was just a minor accident.

I was truly judging a gentleman by my own petty standards.

Even if Xu Pingsheng was extremely thirsty, he wouldn't openly flirt with himself in front of his Daoist partner Meng Anran, would he?

Seeing that she remained silent for a long time and her expression was slightly stammering, Meng Yuxuan blinked and asked curiously with a slight frown:

"Sister Ruoning, why have you suddenly stopped talking? Is the immortal wine not to your liking?"

"It's nothing."

Bai Ruoning gently shook her head, her voice still clear and cold, but with a subtle, almost imperceptible tremor.

But as soon as he finished speaking, that warm touch came again!

This time, it wasn't just a superficial attempt like before...

But...

With a loud bang.

Bai Ruoning's blood seemed to flow backward instantly, and her whole body stiffened.

Extreme shyness and panic swept over her, shattering her once aloof and detached Dao heart into utter chaos.

Her cheeks burned, her ears turned bright red, her mind was in turmoil, and countless thoughts surged wildly within her.

Here we go again...?

It was an accident just now, but can it really be an accident this time?

There were only three people at the table. Was it Xu Pingsheng or Meng Anran?

Although there was a 99.999999% probability that it was Xu Pingsheng, a slight doubt remained, making her hesitant to be certain.

Perhaps it was just a dream playing a joke?

But now she dared not release her divine sense to investigate even the slightest!

Those who cultivate the Tao have keen spiritual senses. At such close range, releasing their spiritual senses would be a great disrespect to Xu Pingsheng.

Now, all the living beings in the entire Yunmeng Marsh are in the hands of Xu Pingsheng's every thought.

Her personal honor or disgrace is a small matter, but it involves all living beings in the world, so she is guilty even if she dies ten thousand times!

In the midst of the chaos, she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

Beside her, Meng Anran's slender feet, exposed on the side of the table, were wrapped in a layer of translucent and lustrous silk stockings, elegant and dignified, and she remained completely still.

In contrast, the foot under the table that was running rampant was clearly bare!

The truth is now obvious!

Bai Ruoning's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly felt suffocated and blushed, feeling a mixture of embarrassment and anger.

It really was Xu Pingsheng!

Excessive!

That's absolutely outrageous!

Having only been back for a few days, how could he be so unable to restrain himself and act so wantonly and frivolously?

It seems that Hu Jiaojiao's hint from a few days ago was true.

hateful!!

What kind of woman does Xu Pingsheng think she is?

She was once the undisputed number one goddess of the White Tiger Small World, with unparalleled beauty, talent, and figure. Even looking across the vast and boundless starry sky, she was a peerless beauty who would always be ranked among the top five. She was proud and had never been so despised and mocked!

Is Xu Pingsheng really not afraid that she will suffer a devastating defeat and be destroyed along with him, since he is so wantonly degrading her?

But the thought had barely formed when she extinguished it instantly, a deep sadness and helplessness flashing in her eyes.

She knew perfectly well that Xu Pingsheng was not afraid at all!

He can activate forbidden secret techniques to instantly surge to the ninth level of the Great Emperor realm, and he can casually produce the "Eternal Night Demon Codex," a supreme technique among all the heavens. His true origins and foundation are terrifyingly unfathomable.

Even though he is only at the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor cultivation, his daring to act so recklessly means that he has already firmly grasped her fate, and even the fate of the entire Yunmengze, in his hands!

She suppressed all her resentment, shame, and grievances, biting her pink lower lip tightly, clenching her teeth, and forcing herself to remain seated, not daring to reveal the slightest flaw.

The atmosphere at the table remained elegant and peaceful, filled with laughter and conversation, but beneath the table, a turbulent undercurrent of intimacy was brewing.

Xu Pingsheng seemed to finally notice her unusual behavior. He raised an eyebrow, his face full of pure worry and confusion, and spoke softly:

"Fellow Daoist Bai, why is your face so flushed? Could it be that you can't hold your liquor?"

He was very puzzled. Bai Ruoning was a top-level expert of the ninth level of the Great Emperor realm. Her Dao heart was stable and her physique was extraordinary. Ordinary immortal wine was like water to her. How could her face turn red and her body burn after a few cups?

Looking at his expressionless, innocent face, Bai Ruoning had already cursed him a thousand times in her heart.

"Pack!"

"Keep pretending!"

"All that glitters is not gold; rotten inside! He appears dignified and aloof, but is in reality worse than a beast!"

But she dared not show it at all, and could only suppress the slight tremor in her throat, barely maintaining a cold tone:

"It's alright, I'm not good at drinking anyway... Ah—"

Before the words were even finished, those unruly little feet suddenly...
