"Of course I miss you."
Xuan Hao, speaking through the screen, said half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"I haven't been back for almost two years. I've been in seclusion in that wretched place, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, eating grass. If I don't come back to see you soon..."
"I'm afraid that you're such a busy person, you might not even remember what my younger brother looks like. What if you mistake me for an assassin and kill me?"
Stop being so cheeky.
Bibi Dong gave a light, somewhat annoyed rebuke, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl upwards slightly:
"Go sit on the sofa in the front hall and wait for me. I'll come out after I've finished washing up."
"okay!"
Xuan Hao agreed very readily.
However, his body is extremely honest.
Instead of turning back to the hall, he quietly slipped through the side gap of the gauze curtain.
The bath was filled with steam, severely obstructing visibility.
Xuan Hao stared wide-eyed, trying to find that perfect figure in the hazy light, secretly hoping to see something that was "Top Secret of the Pope".
However, he had only leaned halfway out, before he could even see what was in front of him...
"call--"
A very faint whooshing sound suddenly came from behind him!
Holy crap!
Xuan Hao felt a strong sense of alarm and was about to use teleportation to dodge.
But that jade-like foot, which smelled of shower gel and seemed delicate and boneless but actually contained terrifying strength, had already kicked him in the buttocks with perfect accuracy!
"Thump—!!!"
With a loud splash, water sprayed everywhere.
Xuan Hao was kicked into the large white jade bathtub in an extremely disheveled "dog-faced" position.
"Gurgle..."
Xuan Hao choked on a mouthful of bathwater, splashed his head out of the water, wiped the water droplets off his face, and looked back with a somewhat resentful expression.
Bibi Dong was already standing on the edge of the bathtub.
She was only wrapped in a towel that barely covered her private parts, leaving large expanses of her fair and delicate skin exposed to the air. Her exquisite and noble face held a mixture of speechlessness, amusement, and helpless indulgence as she looked down at Xuan Hao, who was thrashing about in the water.
"You brat..."
Bibi Dong crossed her arms and said, "You're such a grown-up, yet you're still acting like a little kid, all clumsy and impulsive!"
"Do you really think I'm made of clay and can't notice your little tricks?"
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at him.
Looking across the entire Spirit Hall, only this brat dares to be so shameless as to barge into her palace without even announcing his presence, and even dares to sneak towards the bathtub where she takes a bath!
Even Hu Liena wouldn't dare to do that!
"Wow..."
Xuan Hao climbed out of the water somewhat awkwardly, wringing out his wet clothes as he shamelessly argued:
"Ahem... I was just joking."
"Besides, I've seen you take baths when you were little, so what are you shy about, sister..."
"Shut up!" Bibi Dong's pretty face flushed slightly as she glared at him, annoyed. This brat has been out having fun for two years, and his skin has really gotten thicker and thicker.
She didn't bother with the outspoken young man, casually waved the gauze curtain, and turned to walk towards the dressing room inside.
Seeing this, Xuan Hao didn't press his advantage any further. He shook the water droplets off his head and turned to walk towards the main hall outside.
As he walked, a strange silver light shimmered around him.
This is the power of his second martial soul, the Silver Dragon. Although the Silver Dragon martial soul has not yet been equipped with any soul rings, Xuan Hao's control over water, fire, and ice elements has long reached a pinnacle after years of seclusion in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, under the personal guidance of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, two remnants of true dragon souls.
With a slight thought, he first manipulated the water element to draw all the moisture out of the clothes, and then gently dried them with an extremely weak fire element.
In just a few breaths, the previously soaked clothes became dry and fit perfectly again, without even a single wrinkle.
Not long after.
A series of light footsteps came from inside the room.
Bibi Dong changed into a purple silk robe and slowly walked out.
The robe was made of an extremely form-fitting material, and the silky fabric perfectly outlined her mature and breathtakingly alluring curves.
Having just finished bathing, her long, smooth hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her fair skin still had a faint pink hue. She had lost some of her usual aloof papal majesty, but gained a fatal languor and allure.
Xuan Hao glanced over subconsciously, and when his gaze fell upon the faintly visible white skin, his heart skipped a beat.
He touched his nose somewhat guiltily, quickly turned his head to the side, and looked around, not daring to look any longer.
"what happened?"
Bibi Dong walked to the table, poured herself a glass of red wine, and raised an eyebrow in surprise at Xuan Hao's evasive manner.
"Ahem..." Xuan Hao coughed dryly, his eyes glazed over as he muttered, "Teacher... could you please change into something a little more formal? I can't stand you dressed like this."
Bibi Dong paused slightly in the hand holding the wine glass.
She paused, her gaze falling on Xuan Hao's shoulders, which were beginning to show signs of becoming tall and straight, before she suddenly realized what was happening.
Yeah, this brat is no longer the little kid who used to collect protection money at the Martial Soul Academy.
At the age of fourteen or fifteen, their bodies have already grown taller, and since Soul Masters are naturally precocious, boys at this age are full of vigor and their minds are full of wild thoughts.
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong not only did not turn back to change her clothes, but a sly glint flashed in her eyes.
She carried her wine glass, walked to the velvet sofa opposite Xuan Hao, and sat down gracefully. She casually crossed her long legs, her fair feet dangling in the air, and looked at him with a half-smile:
"Oh?"
"Wasn't that person pretty shameless when they just walked into the bathhouse without even announcing themselves?"
"Why are you getting shy now that I'm showing it to you?"
"..."
Chapter 160 actually contains more than just these few.
……
Xuan Hao awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth: "That was just a joke... and I knew you would definitely find me beforehand, it was just a little teasing."
"But in this situation... it's inappropriate for a man and a woman to be dressed so scantily, isn't it?"
"Not quite right?"
Bibi Dong gently swirled the red wine in her glass, a playful smile curving her lips.
"Hasn't someone been living a very carefree and romantic life in Tiandou City all these years?"
"Surrounded by beautiful women, always flirting with other girls. What, now you're coming to me pretending to be an innocent little boy?"
Xuan Hao was immediately speechless, feeling even more wronged than Dou E:
"Teacher, who are you listening to gossiping about? Don't portray me as some kind of womanizer!"
"Which of those girls is easy to deal with? They're all incredibly cunning. Besides, with that little housekeeper Na'er keeping a close eye on me every day, and me busy cultivating in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, where do I have the time and energy to get involved in all that messy stuff?"
"I've only seen the beautiful spring scenery, but I haven't actually tasted a single bite!"
"Really?"
Bibi Dong narrowed her beautiful eyes, looked him up and down, and let out a soft snort full of suspicion.
She knows this brat too well.
He has never been a virtuous gentleman who could remain unmoved by temptation!
From childhood to adulthood, this kid has always been shameless, like a clingy cat, always wanting to snuggle up to her, his groping actions are completely natural.
When it's late at night, he's even more audacious, using the excuse of being afraid of the dark and cold to recklessly crawl into her bed.
It can be said that her unique indulgence and almost bottomless patience towards Xuan Hao were mostly due to this brat taking advantage of his young age and thick skin, which he had worn down!
"Teacher, if you really don't believe me, you can always ask your senior sister!"
Seeing Bibi Dong's suspicious expression, Xuan Hao helplessly spread his hands and poured out his grievances:
"She's been cultivating at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well all these years, so we're practically inseparable. She knows better than anyone how I've been living these past years—it's been like an ascetic life!"
Bibi Dong was slightly taken aback, then paused gently in the hand holding the wine glass, a hint of realization flashing in her eyes.
Actually, she did believe Xuan Hao to some extent at this moment.
Just recently, when Hu Liena returned to Wuhun City from Sunset Forest to report on her duties, Bibi Dong took the opportunity of casual conversation to subtly inquire about the current progress of the two's relationship.
After all, the two siblings had been extremely close since childhood. In addition, Hu Liena was a few years older than Xuan Hao. Although Xuan Hao was domineering and lawless in front of outsiders, he still retained some of the obedience and indulgence of a "younger brother" in front of Hu Liena.
Hu Liena, on the other hand, had been secretly eyeing her exceptionally talented junior brother since childhood, and her little schemes were impossible to hide from Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong remembers it clearly: that day, Hu Liena sprawled on the sofa in a completely unladylike manner, complaining angrily to her:
"Teacher! The trick you taught me doesn't work at all!"
"I've tried everything, even resorting to underhanded tactics, several times! Pretending to be drunk, raiding him at night, I practically tied him to the bed! And what happened? I failed every single time!"
"Your strategy of forcing him to make it a fait accompli is a good one, but it can't withstand having a top-notch bodyguard around the clock! Every time it comes to a crucial moment, that brat Na'er seems to have super hearing; she always finds an excuse to pop up and sabotage things!"
Thinking of Hu Liena's gritted teeth and helpless expression at the time, Bibi Dong couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
Of course she knew that Na'er felt the same way about Xuan Hao.
That's a little dragon that's very protective of its food. How could it just stand by and watch someone steal food right under its nose?
Bibi Dong never expected that Xuan Hao's seemingly blissful life, surrounded by flowers and springtime beauty, was actually a battlefield of unrequited love.
To put it bluntly, it's because too many girls around him are interested in him, and each of them is proud and ambitious, and everyone wants to seize the opportunity to be "number one".
