Tang San has just been reunited with his family and is currently in a stage where he is extremely lacking in love and longs for familial recognition.
If his aunt Tang Yuehua were to give him some guidance, he would definitely listen!
Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong immediately took off running like a cheerful lark to pester Tang Yuehua.
Following her principle of helping her brother clean up his mess, Na'er also went over to help.
Seeing that there was something to do, Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu naturally wouldn't miss out, and the girls quickly chattered and walked away from Tang Yuehua.
For a moment, only Xuan Hao, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling, who were always quiet, remained at the back of the group.
Xuan Hao slowed his pace, turned his head to look at Zhu Zhuqing beside him, and casually asked:
"It's been a while since I came to Tiandou City. How have you been adjusting lately? Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've had a chance to ask about you."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded coolly: "It's fine."
"What about cultivation?"
"That's good too, my soul power is increasing very steadily."
Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow, stopped and looked at her: "Really, there's absolutely no problem? Not a single problem that requires my attention?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, and she shook her head: "No."
"you sure?"
Xuan Hao's smile faded slightly. "You can fool others, but you can't fool me. Ever since you came to Tian Dou City, or even back when you were still in Soto City, the Star Luo Empire's spies here have already sent news of you and Dai Mubai back, haven't they?"
Upon hearing the words "Star Luo Empire" and "Dai Mubai," Zhu Zhuqing's expression immediately became somewhat unnatural.
Xuan Hao stared into her eyes and asked, "What exactly does Xingluo mean? Or rather, has your Zhu family been putting pressure on you behind your back lately?"
Zhu Zhuqing was silent for a moment, gently biting her lower lip, and finally nodded: "Yes."
"They don't know that Dai Mubai has been deposed by you and has completely lost his right to compete for the throne. These past few days, I've received secret messages from home, telling me to either immediately return to the Star Luo Empire or go back to Dai Mubai's side to assist him."
"They warned me not to associate with men from other factions anymore. Otherwise... the Star Luo Royal Family will send an assassination squad to deal with me."
She was the fiancée chosen by the Star Luo Emperor for Dai Mubai. Her existence represented the face of the Star Luo royal family and also involved the life and death of the Netherworld Cat Clan.
To the high and mighty Xingluo royal family and the ruthless Zhu family, Zhu Zhuqing could die in the power struggle, but she absolutely could not do anything that would dishonor the family's reputation or affect its interests! Otherwise, she would be a traitor! A stain that must be erased!
Especially now that she's getting so close to Xuan Hao.
Xuan Hao is not only a guest of honor of the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, but also the president of the Heaven Dou Self-Improvement Association. He will inevitably become a major enemy of the Star Luo Empire in the future.
Her association with Xuan Hao was seen as a dangerous sign of betrayal by the Xingluo royal family.
After listening to Zhu Zhuqing's account, Xuan Hao frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice: "Why didn't you tell me about something so important?"
"Back in Soto City, I gave you immortal herbs and soul bones. Didn't I already promise you that I would hold up the sky if it fell in the future, and that you could rely on me completely? Now that you've encountered such a deadly trouble, why are you keeping it all bottled up inside and not saying a word?"
Zhu Zhuqing felt a little guilty after being scolded by him, and lowered her head, her voice barely audible:
"I...I didn't find an opportunity."
Xuan Hao was taken aback.
He carefully reviewed his recent itinerary:
Every day he's either in seclusion cultivating to break through to a higher realm, or he's out causing trouble at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's place. After returning, he's busy dealing with Blue Tyrant Academy and all sorts of other miscellaneous matters...
It seems that I have indeed been constantly on the move, and have not given this aloof ghost cat a chance to be alone with it or ask for help.
"Okay, this is my fault for being too busy lately."
Xuan Hao nodded readily. "You don't need to worry about those lousy rules of the Star Luo Empire. Since things have come to this point, let's have a proper talk tonight and set a solution."
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly raised her head, her expression instantly becoming somewhat unnatural. "Tonight?"
Ye Lingling, who had been walking quietly to the side like a ghost, suddenly reached out and nudged Xuan Hao with her elbow upon hearing this, and solemnly instructed him:
"be careful."
After saying that, Ye Lingling quickened her pace and jogged to catch up with the main group ahead, leaving the two of them alone.
Upon hearing Ye Lingling's ambiguous "Be careful," Zhu Zhuqing's icy face instantly flushed crimson, even her delicate earlobes burning hot.
She glared at Xuan Hao, embarrassed and annoyed, and stamped her feet in frustration:
"Lingling, you've misunderstood! That's not what I meant!"
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's embarrassed and annoyed expression as she stomped her feet in frustration, Xuan Hao couldn't help but take a half-step closer:
"Oh? What do you mean by 'not that'? Then what do you mean? And what do you think... what did I mean just now?"
Zhu Zhuqing was immediately speechless.
She was never good with words to begin with, and now, being teased made her speechless. Her already flushed face turned even redder, almost as if it were about to bleed.
Ning Rongrong, who was walking ahead, heard the commotion behind her and turned around to see Ye Lingling jogging after her.
She peeked over to look at Zhu Zhuqing, who was blushing and unable to lift her head because Xuan Hao had teased her so much, and couldn't help but gossip over to her.
"Lingling, what were you two whispering about in the back? Why is Zhuqing blushing so much?"
Ye Lingling remained calm and replied seriously, "Xuan Hao said he would help her solve the Star Luo Empire's troubles tonight. Judging from this, they might be playing some games together tonight."
"Play mini-games?!"
Upon hearing these four words, Tang Yuehua, who was walking beside her, felt her heart skip a beat. Her originally dignified and fair cheeks instinctively flushed hot, and she felt so guilty that her breathing became erratic.
A mini-game? Could it be... one of those "massage" mini-games that Xuan Hao forced her to play in Yuexuan's room before, the kind that could even tear clothes?!
Chapter 319 You're jealous now because you haven't been tormented enough.
……
Thinking of that kind of transgression that made her weak all over, Tang Yuehua's eyes darted around, and she didn't dare to look at the group of girls around her.
However, compared to Tang Yuehua's guilty conscience, Na'er, Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, and Ning Rongrong remained calm upon hearing the news, showing not even the slightest surprise.
After all, which of these girls who regularly booked the VIP suites hadn't been dragged into those so-called "intimate little games" by that energetic guy?
Xiao Wu covered her mouth and chuckled, "I thought Zhu Qing would have to be reserved for another ten days or half a month. I didn't expect that with the pressure from her family, she would be won over by you so quickly, brother."
Seeing these beautiful young women getting along so well, even joking with each other about such private matters, Tang Yuehua was truly stunned. She even felt that her worldview had been severely impacted.
She glanced at Na'er and the others who seemed completely unconcerned, and finally couldn't suppress her own curiosity as an elder, tentatively asking:
"You...aren't you even a little bit angry when you hear about something like this?"
"angry?"
Ning Rongrong turned around and looked at Tang Yuehua with a puzzled expression. "Why are you angry? Aunt Yuehua, you underestimate our tolerance. We're used to his behavior."
Ning Rongrong shrugged and complained, "Besides, if he were really the kind of upright gentleman who would only choose one woman out of a thousand, and who would remain loyal to the end... how could we possibly have a chance now?"
"The way of Heaven is that with gain comes loss."
"Since we chose him, we were naturally prepared mentally."
……
Surrounded by Ning Rongrong and others, Tang Yuehua returned to Yuexuan.
Since it was already late at night, and they needed to discuss Tang San's future plans the next day, the girls decided to stay at Yuexuan.
Xuan Hao didn't stand on ceremony and directly asked Tang Yuehua to help arrange a quiet guest room, where he and Zhu Zhuqing moved in openly.
It was late at night.
In the master bedroom on the top floor of Yuexuan, Tang Yuehua tossed and turned on the large velvet bed, unable to fall asleep.
Whenever she closes her eyes, images of Xuan Hao and Zhu Zhuqing in the guest room uncontrollably appear in her mind.
In this dignified and elegant Moon Pavilion, right under her nose, that little rascal actually brought other girls and acted recklessly!
She felt as if her mind was in turmoil, and she couldn't calm down.
What's wrong? Is she jealous? Or angry?
"This is an elder's concern for the younger generation! What if they are young and impetuous and cause trouble because they don't know how to control themselves?"
Without knowing how she mentally prepared herself, Tang Yuehua inexplicably got out of bed.
She put on a thin bathrobe and, like a thief, tiptoed to the door of Xuan Hao's guest room.
The moment it was pasted onto the door panel, Tang Yuehua's heart pounded.
She never dreamed that one day she would come and peek over the wall in the middle of the night!
However, she held her breath and pressed her finger against the door for a long time, but it was completely quiet inside, without even the slightest sound.
Is she asleep?
Tang Yuehua frowned slightly.
That's impossible. She's personally experienced that guy's stamina to torment people. How could it end so quickly?
Just as she was racking her brains trying to figure it out, suddenly, a hand gently patted her shoulder from behind.
"Who?!"
Tang Yuehua was so frightened that she almost fainted on the spot.
She turned around abruptly and covered her mouth tightly.
Na'er, dressed in a nightgown, was tilting her head and looking at her strangely: "Sister Yuehua, what's wrong?"
"I...I was just passing by! I couldn't sleep, so I just took a walk." Tang Yuehua stammered, feeling so guilty that she wished she could disappear into the ground.
Na'er looked at her like this and lowered her voice, amused, "You wouldn't be... jealous, would you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Tang Yuehua tried to remain calm, but her cheeks were burning hot.
Seeing that she was stubborn and refused to admit it, Na'er shook her head helplessly and simply reached out and pushed open Xuan Hao's door!
"crunch-"
Tang Yuehua's expression froze, terrified out of her wits.
If she stumbles upon something disgusting, how will she ever be able to face anyone again?!
However, when she looked through the crack in the door, she was stunned.
