Chapter 219: 215. Tang Hao Didn't Dare
"Jue, why are you covering your face?"
Qian Renxue turned around proudly, her curiosity piqued as she looked at the surprised Qian Renjue.
"It's nothing."
Qian Renjue calmly wiped the slight moisture off his face.
It seemed he needed to be more cautious in the future.
"If there's nothing, let's go. Come sit with your sister on the rooftop for a while."
Qian Renxue smiled without suspicion.
She stepped forward and wrapped her arm around Qian Renjue's, pulling him outside.
The corners of her lips had a faint trace of cream. Her cheeks flushed as she smiled, walking with light, buoyant steps.
"Mm."
Qian Renjue smiled and followed her out.
Once outside, Qian Renxue stretched her arms and complained, "I ate too much earlier. Jue, carry me up."
"Alright."
Qian Renjue nodded.
He gently wiped away the cream at the corner of Qian Renxue's mouth, but just as he was about to retract his hand, she blushed and grabbed it.
"Don't waste it!"
Qian Renjue froze as he watched her suck the cream off his fingertip.
His eyebrows twitched as the wet sensation made his fingers tremble.
Qian Renxue raised her head, licked her lips tasting the sweetness, and glanced at him playfully.
She then wrapped her arm around his shoulder, she said. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up."
"Oh, right."
Qian Renjue steadied himself, wrapped his arms around her waist, lifted her legs, and held her horizontally.
With a leap, they landed on the rooftop.
In the shadows, Ling Yuan Douluo silently watched over them, guarding the two.
The two sat side by side. Qian Renxue leaned against the warmth of his body.
"Jue, tomorrow when you go to Nuoding City, should I lend you Porcupine Douluo and Snake Lance?"
"No need, sister."
"It's just Nuoding City, nothing dangerous."
Qian Renjue shook his head, looking at the bright moon above with a firm tone.
With Tang Hao's nature of putting his sect above all, he certainly wouldn't dare to appear again unless he wanted to drag the entire Clear Sky Clan to their doom.
Of course, Qian Renjue wasn't foolish enough to trust his life to Tang Hao's brawn.
At this point, Tang Hao's ninth ring was merely black, his strength couldn't compare to Ling Yuan's, and he was injured too.
Even if Tang Hao showed up, he wouldn't pose much of a threat.
"Jue, still, it's better to be cautious."
Qian Renxue, not thinking too much about it, simply spoke out of concern.
"If you don't want Porcupine and the others, then take Dugu Bo along."
"Alright, I'll take Senior Dugu."
To reassure Qian Renxue, Qian Renjue nodded in agreement without saying more.
"Now that's better."
Qian Renxue smiled with satisfaction.
She had thought of going with him, but after reconsidering, she decided against it. She feared she wouldn't be able to resist killing someone.
"Heh."
Qian Renjue glanced at Qian Renxue.
The more he looked, the more he felt that her beauty outshone the moon above.
——
As the sun rose, Qian Renjue, still fast asleep, lifted his head from the soft pillow, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and let go of the softness in his arms.
Slowly getting up, he groggily made his way to the bathroom.
As the sound of running water echoed, Qian Renxue opened her beautiful eyes, sat up, yawned, and adjusted her fallen shoulder strap.
Stretching her delicate body, her smooth shoulders were as flawless as porcelain, her face radiantly flushed, with perfect features.
Her figure was well-proportioned, her long legs straight and fair, and she carried an aura of nobility and majesty, like an elegant snow lotus blooming high on the peak of a mountain.
She lazily ruffled her messy, voluminous hair and spoke in a soft, crisp voice like the morning chirping of birds outside. "Jue, why are you up so early today? Why in a rush to head to Nuoding City?"
"No."
Qian Renjue's voice came from behind the glass door, clear and composed. "Before I send Xiao Wu off, I need to meet with Lingling. We made plans."
"Hm?"
Hearing his words, Qian Renxue's spirit perked up, her sleepy purple eyes sparkling.
Even though she had handled the letter, she had almost forgotten.
She poured herself some hot tea and asked, feigning ignorance, "Where are you meeting her, and when?"
Qian Renjue, unsuspecting as always, answered, "The same place as before, in about two hours."
Crack!
Just as he finished speaking, Qian Renjue walked out, towel in hand, drying his wet hair.
"Let me dry that for you."
Qian Renxue looked him over, inspecting his strong, healthy physique.
With a smile, she waved her hand, and golden flames swirled around him, drying the water droplets in no time, though his hair remained unkempt and unruly.
"Haha, that looks much better now."
Qian Renxue smiled, taking a sip of tea, then handed the cup to Qian Renjue.
He reached out and accepted it.
"Alright then, since you've got a date, you should head out soon. I'm going to freshen up."
Qian Renxue gently straightened his clothes before walking past him with a yawn, heading to the bathroom.
"Mm, Sister, wait for me to come back."
Qian Renjue smiled and drank the fragrant tea.
In the bathroom, Qian Renxue smiled as the warm water washed over her, gently cleansing her graceful figure.
It was about time for her to meet her future sister-in-law. She hoped Ye Lingling genuinely liked her brother.
——
Crack!
As Qian Renjue opened the door, he saw a little girl with a crooked high ponytail running towards him, her face painted like a panda.
"Xiao Wu?"
Qian Renjue blinked, puzzled, as he looked at the teary-eyed girl running towards him.
"Your Highness! Xiao Wu's being bullied!"
Xiao Wu hurriedly hugged Qian Renjue's leg, hiding behind him as if seeking refuge.
Behind her, a soft voice called out sternly, "You little bunny! Don't run around! Don't disturb His Highness!"
Qian Renjue glanced up and couldn't help but smile as he covered his face. "Yanyan, what's going on here?"
"Your Highness?!"
Seeing Qian Renjue, Dugu Yan, with her messy hair and a turtle drawn on her face, quickly hid the brush behind her, her eyes full of guilt.
Taking advantage of the moment, Xiao Wu peeked out and complained, "Your Highness, it's her! She bullied me, made me take a bath, and gave me this ugly hairstyle. It's awful!"
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Dugu Yan quickly retorted, "Don't talk nonsense! I was just teasing you because you're cute. Who told you to draw a turtle on my face while I was sleeping?"
Within a few exchanges, Qian Renjue had a rough idea of what had happened.
He rubbed his temples in exasperation.
It seemed Xiao Wu had a competitive streak and a mischievous nature.
Still, that was a good thing—people needed to preserve a bit of themselves.
"Alright, enough, you two. I need to leave soon."
With that, he lifted Xiao Wu by the back of her clothes.
Xiao Wu immediately confessed, "Ah! Your Highness, Xiao Wu is sorry! I won't do it again."
"Haha."
Qian Renjue smiled as he handed Xiao Wu over to Dugu Yan.
"Yanyan, help Xiao Wu clean herself up first, and make sure you clean up properly too."
"Understood, I will scrub her clean," Dugu Yan replied obediently, nodding her head.
She used her loose hair to cover the scribbles on her face out of embarrassment.
Xiao Wu sighed in relief and obediently let Dugu Yan hold her in her arms.
"By the way, Yanyan, where's Senior Dugu?"
Qian Renjue gently lifted the curtain of Dugu Yan's hair and playfully pinched the turtle drawn on her soft cheek, smiling mischievously.
Dugu Yan blushed deeply, feeling both embarrassed and slightly annoyed, casting a sideways glance at Qian Renjue.
She hadn't expected that the Holy Son could have a mischievous side too.
