Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 585 You need to stick your tongue out when kissing!

Energy began to rapidly gather at the muzzle of the soul-guided gun, with faint light flashing inside like shimmering stars, as if it were about to unleash a deadly ray at any moment.

In her desperate situation, the face of her mission target, Nan Fusheng, flashed through Bai Xiuxiu's mind in an instant. Without hesitation, she shouted, "Wait! I'm here to find Nan Fusheng! The governor of Tianhai City: Nan Fusheng! I'm here to find him!"

Her target: Nan Fusheng. He's the city's governor; surely mentioning his name should make this woman wary? At the very least, it should temporarily deter her from committing murder.

At this moment, she had no other choice but to place all her hopes on this name in an attempt to save her life.

"Buzz—" The soul-guided penetrating ray emitted a sharp sound, followed by a loud "Bang!" The ray flashed across Bai Xiuxiu's cheek like lightning and slammed hard into the ground.

Bai Xiuxiu was still in shock, her eyes trembling as she looked behind her at the crater created by the blast—a mark of a brush with death. By a mere millimeter's margin, her head would have been pulverized by that terrifying ray, just like the crater itself.

"You said you're here to see Nan Fusheng, the governor of Tianhai City?" Aquia's voice drifted over.

Bai Xiuxiu, like a startled fawn, instantly came to her senses and nodded hurriedly, her voice tinged with urgency and fear: "Yes, yes. I came here to find him."

A look of confusion appeared on Aquia's face. She looked Bai Xiuxiu up and down and continued to ask, "What do you want with him? And who are you to him?"

Faced with these persistent questions, Bai Xiuxiu's mind raced, and her original idea of ​​claiming to be Nan Fusheng's sister was instantly rejected.

She recalled the image of Nan Fusheng that Augustus had shown her: black hair and black eyes, while she herself had blue hair and blue eyes. Their physical characteristics made it difficult to associate them with blood relations.

In a split second, to save her life, Bai Xiuxiu blushed and stammered, "I...I am...I am his girlfriend." The answer came out of her mouth, and she felt both nervous and a little uneasy.

Aquarius's expression instantly turned strange, and she repeated, "Girlfriend?"

Seeing this, Bai Xiuxiu thought the other party was softening, so she hurriedly nodded frantically and emphasized, "Yes, yes. I am his girlfriend. I came to Tianhai City this time to see him about something."

Aquarius looked at Bai Xiuxiu with a half-smile, her eyes seemingly able to see through everything. Then, she pulled out a soul-guided communicator and said coldly, "Since you've put it that way, I'll make a call and confirm with him."

"Huh?" Bai Xiuxiu's eyes widened, and she cursed her bad luck in her heart. She never expected that she would be so unlucky as to run into an acquaintance of the mission target.

Aquarius then added, "Fusheng and I are very close friends, and I've never heard him mention having a girlfriend like you before. Little girl, if I find out you're lying, then your identity as a spy will be confirmed."

As she spoke, Aquarius dialed the soul communication device. To Bai Xiuxiu, the beeping sound of the communication was like the death knell tolling by the Grim Reaper, striking her heart again and again.

Finished!

Bai Xiuxiu panicked completely. She knew that once the call connected, her lie would be exposed.

"What should I do? What should I do?" she kept screaming in her mind, frantically racking her brains, trying to find a way to escape.

However, at this moment, she had become a prisoner, her soul power was sealed, and facing Aquaria, whose strength far surpassed her own, escaping was simply a pipe dream.

"Beep!" The call was answered. A look of despair appeared on Bai Xiuxiu's face, her heart filled with regret. She should have known better than to be so reckless.

"Aquarius, what's up?" A magnetic male voice came from the other end of the phone.

Aquarius replied, "Yes. I have a young woman here who claims to be your girlfriend. Do you know her?"

Bai Xiuxiu's heart was in her throat, but the answer that followed shocked her greatly.

"Oh, she's my girlfriend. Please let her go." Upon hearing this, Bai Xiuxiu looked up in surprise, her mind filled with doubt.

Nan Fusheng should have never met her, so why would he say that? Moreover, the voice was so clear that it seemed to be ringing right next to her ear.

"Commander Aquaria, just like I said on the phone, could you please release her?" At the same time, a clear voice rang out from behind Bai Xiuxiu.

Bai Xiuxiu turned her head in surprise and saw a man and a woman walking towards her. The man was handsome and dashing, and the woman was beautiful. The man was none other than her target—Nan Fusheng.

"Why would he help me?" Bai Xiuxiu was filled with doubt, and this question kept swirling in her mind.

"Fusheng, although we do know each other, there are laws in a country and regulations in an army. Don't try to be a hero just because you think a girl is pretty." Aquia frowned, a rare sight, as she spoke to Nan Fusheng.

Nan Fusheng walked up to Bai Xiuxiu, reached out and slowly pulled her up from the ground, then shielded her behind him. He smiled slightly at Aquia and said, "I really know her, that's why I want to help her."

Aquarius was clearly not going to believe her easily and continued to press, "Fine, if that's the case, then tell me, what's her name? Don't try to fool me with some random name."

"I heard that when this little girl tried to force her way through the checkpoint, she introduced herself. If we go to the checkpoint to verify her identity, we'll find out her real name."

Nan Fusheng paused slightly, a subtle reaction that Aquia noticed. She immediately sneered, "What? Can't say anything?"

"No." Nan Fusheng shook his head and said firmly, "Her name is Bai Xiuxiu, and she is my girlfriend."

Upon hearing this, Aquarius immediately dialed the soul communication device to verify the situation with the checkpoint inspectors.

Seeing this, Nan Fusheng smiled confidently. At that moment, in the large hand that was holding Bai Xiuxiu's hand, Bai Xiuxiu's slender fingers were gently sliding across his palm, writing the three characters "Bai Xiuxiu" stroke by stroke.

Soon, Aquarius finished verifying the information. She hung up the call with a somewhat grim expression and said, "You're right, her name is indeed Bai Xiuxiu."

Nan Fusheng smiled and said, "In that case, I should be able to take her away now, right?"

"No." Aquarius seemed unwilling to give up so easily, her gaze fixed on Bai Xiuxiu, and said, "You said before that you were Nan Fusheng's girlfriend, right?"

Bai Xiuxiu felt uneasy under her gaze, but in order not to expose herself, she could only bite the bullet and say, "That's right, I'm his girlfriend."

Aquarius crossed her arms and made a request that Bai Xiuxiu hadn't expected: "Fine, in that case, you two kiss for me to see."

"Huh?!" This request came too suddenly, and Bai Xiuxiu's mind couldn't process it for a moment. She could only stare blankly at Aquia.

Aquarius looked at the two people in front of her and continued, "What, if you two are really a couple, then kissing is normal, right? Or were you both lying to me before?"

"This, this..." Bai Xiuxiu hesitated. She was still a baby who was only 90,000 years old. She had never experienced kissing before.

Nan Fusheng, standing to the side, looked at her somewhat awkwardly, seemingly stumped by Aquia's question as well.

Seeing Aquarius's increasingly suspicious gaze, Bai Xiuxiu gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "So be it." She hadn't avenged her great grudge; she absolutely couldn't fall here.

Bai Xiuxiu looked at Nan Fusheng, who was holding her small hand tightly, and pulled him towards her with her own hand. Then, she gently put her other hand around the back of Nan Fusheng's head and pressed down slightly.

The next moment, their lips quickly met, a soft touch came from their lips, and a fragrance like orchids and musk entered Nan Fusheng's nose. He stared wide-eyed, seemingly in disbelief.

Bai Xiuxiu gave Nan Fusheng a light peck on the lips, then quickly pulled away. Seeing Nan Fusheng's somewhat dazed expression, she felt incredibly shy, but strangely, she didn't feel any obvious aversion.

"Is this what humans call kissing? It doesn't feel so bad."

Bai Xiuxiu pondered to herself, then turned her gaze to Aquia and said, "Now, can we prove that we are a couple?"

Aquarius gave her a strange look and said, "What are you talking about? What kind of couple kisses like that? You didn't even stick your tongues out."

"Tongue, tongue, tongue!" Bai Xiuxiu stammered, instantly recalling some knowledge about human intimacy, her pretty face turning bright red. Are human lovers really this passionate?

Although she is the princess of the Great White Shark Demon Soul Clan, there are still some books about the human world in the clan, and her mother has also taught her some knowledge about the human world.

But kissing involves sticking out your tongue? That's way too much!

At this moment, Nan Fusheng also came to his senses and said to Aquia, "Captain Aquia, please don't make things difficult for us. Xiuxiu really is my girlfriend."

"The reason she chose to force her way through the city gate checkpoint this time is because she needs to speak with me about something important, and in that moment of desperation, she did what she did. I hope you can give me some face and let her off this time."

Aquia pondered for a moment, her gaze shifting back and forth between Nan Fusheng and Bai Xiuxiu, before turning to Nan Fusheng and saying, "Alright, Fusheng, I'll give you this face, but if this little girl causes any trouble in Tianhai City later..."

"Then I'm willing to take responsibility for it," Nan Fusheng replied.

"Okay, you said it." Aquila gave Nan Fusheng a deep look, then waved her hand. "Let's go."

"Yes, I said so." Nan Fusheng nodded heavily, then took Qingque and Bai Xiuxiu's hands and led them away from there.

Bai Xiuxiu stared blankly at Nan Fusheng, her gaze falling on the large hand holding hers. A strange sense of security welled up inside her, and she thought to herself, "Is this a man's hand? It feels so warm."

"Captain, is it alright to just let them leave like this?" At this moment, Bingmeng hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to ask Aquarius.

"It's alright. Since the governor of Tianhai City is willing to vouch for her, there shouldn't be any major problems." Aquarius waved her hand, looking at Bingmeng who seemed to want to say something more. "You don't need to worry about this matter; I have my own arrangements."

"Yes." Bingmeng nodded and said no more.

……

Inside a dessert shop in Tianhai City.

"Sir, here is your order: macarons, tiramisu, cheesecake, strawberry cream cake, mango pudding, matcha mille-feuille cake, Black Forest cake, and three cups of white chocolate milk pudding milk tea."

After placing a large pile of desserts on the table, the waiter bowed respectfully and then slowly withdrew.

Nan Fusheng glanced at Bai Xiuxiu across from him, who was secretly swallowing her saliva, chuckled, and said, "Eat up, these are all for you and Qingque."

"Gulp~" Bai Xiuxiu swallowed hard, looking at the dazzling array of desserts on the table. Although she really wanted to eat them, she was more curious about why Nan Fusheng had chosen to help her.

"that……"

Bai Xiuxiu was about to say something when Nan Fusheng interrupted her, saying, "Eat first, and we'll talk after you've finished eating."

"That's right, let's finish eating first. Don't worry, this guy is rich, we can get more if it's not enough." Qingque next to Nan Fusheng was not polite at all. She immediately picked up her milk tea, took a big sip, and then started to invite Bai Xiuxiu to eat together.

Seeing Qingque wolfing down her food, Bai Xiuxiu seemed to be infected by it as well. She started to sip her milk tea, and then her eyes lit up. The food in the human world was really good. She had lived for tens of thousands of years and had never eaten anything so delicious.

Gradually, Bai Xiuxiu began to imitate Qingque, eating various desserts and then drinking milk tea with them.

"Ugh, I'm so full."

After a burst of flamboyant revelry, Qingque, having eaten and drunk her fill, patted her belly rather ungracefully.

Bai Xiuxiu, who was opposite her, also subconsciously followed Qingque's movements, but after seeing Nan Fusheng opposite her, she realized that the posture was a bit indecent, her pretty face turned red, and she took her hands off her stomach again.

"call……"

Bai Xiuxiu touched her slightly flushed face, composed herself, and then asked Nan Fusheng across from her, "Um, why did you help me just now? We've never met before."

Nan Fusheng smiled slightly and said, "There are two reasons. First, I help you because I don't think you're a bad person."

"Secondly, it was Qingque who asked me to help you that led me to take action."
