The silence in the room made Bi Bi Dong frown involuntarily.
"Not speaking again?"
Bi Bi Dong stared at Ye Tian, her expression displeased as she repeated, "I'm asking you, is the Immortal Herb she consumed the King of Immortal Herbs, Lovesick Heartbreak Red?"
"Yes!"
A solemn voice instantly interrupted Bi Bi Dong's questioning.
Bi Bi Dong was slightly stunned, somewhat taken aback.
Ye Tian had already suppressed the unease in his heart and took two steps forward, fixing his gaze on Bi Bi Dong's flushed cheek.
He had anticipated this situation long ago.
He had even given her a sweet treat beforehand, hoping Bi Bi Dong could calm down in advance.
Based on this,
Ye Tian boldly repeated:
"Xue Er consumed the King of Immortal Herbs, Lovesick Heartbreak Red."
"Heh~ hehe~"
Bi Bi Dong stared at Ye Tian, laughing somewhat eerily.
Slap!
A palm-sized, smooth wine flask was taken out from Bi Bi Dong's embrace and placed on the table by the windowsill.
A few drops of wine splashed out. Bi Bi Dong sat on the windowsill, leaning against the window, glancing sideways at Ye Tian with a playful, mocking look as she sneered:
"I thought you would continue to be stubborn, evading the question."
"If Teacher has already made up her mind about this matter, then my further arguments would be futile. Instead, it would only make things worse and hurt our feelings."
Ye Tian's face remained calm and composed.
But his feet never moved again. His eyes wandered, catching sight of the wine flask on the table, and he suddenly understood.
No wonder,
No wonder Bi Bi Dong's face was flushed as if on fire, even the corners of her eyes were red—
So she had been drinking!
This was actually the first time he had seen Bi Bi Dong drink.
It seemed Bi Bi Dong was even wearing the Taoist Robe he had given her.
A flash of surprise crossed Ye Tian's eyes.
Even though Bi Bi Dong had her back to him, he could still tell from the wide sleeves that what she was wearing was the purple Taoist Robe, one of the three sets he had gifted her.
Amidst his anxiety,
Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a hint of curiosity.
"Heh~ So in your heart, we actually have feelings for each other?"
Bi Bi Dong continued to laugh,
though her laughter had become much more relaxed.
A soft, rustling sound echoed as Bi Bi Dong picked up the wine flask and poured wine into two white jade cups on the table.
"In that case, shouldn't you come over and have a few drinks with me? Instead of treating me like a venomous snake, standing so far away—are you afraid I'll devour you alive?"
As she spoke,
Bi Bi Dong had already lowered her gaze, watching the cups slowly fill.
Only then did she glance up at Ye Tian.
The confusion on Ye Tian's face was fully captured by her.
"What kind of expression is that?"
"A bit surprised."
Ye Tian looked at Bi Bi Dong and answered truthfully.
He had imagined Bi Bi Dong would be angry, even furious, but he never expected her to be so calm, laughing so casually.
This contrast only made Ye Tian more uneasy.
When something is abnormal, there must be a reason!
"Is that so~ Why are you surprised?"
Bi Bi Dong smiled, pursed her lips, and muttered to herself:
"I guess you're thinking..."
"At a time like this, I shouldn't be smiling at you. Instead, I should use some means to torment you, punish you, even imprison you, to repay you for deceiving me."
Ye Tian's eyes flashed with surprise. In his daze, he gently shook his head.
Bi Bidong's pupils dilated slightly,
her eyes shimmering with shifting light.
Ye Tian, shaking his head as he gazed at her, finally gave his response.
"I never thought about imprisoning you."
As Ye Tian's words fell,
the unusual gleam in Bi Bidong's beautiful eyes instantly dimmed.
Somewhat stunned and amused, her face filled with mockery, she said,
"So this is how you see me in your heart—always filled with malice."
As she spoke,
she picked up a white jade wine cup and slowly brought it to her fragrant lips.
Her eyes held a thoughtful, reminiscing expression.
"Unfortunately, you seem to have guessed wrong. You thought of me as too kind."
"…"
Ye Tian did not reply.
The more Bi Bidong acted this way, the less he could grasp this woman's thoughts.
Now, all he could do was confess everything truthfully.
He dared not deceive her any further.
Otherwise, if he truly provoked Bi Bidong, Ye Tian believed
tonight would be very difficult for him to endure!
"You have no idea what's on my mind,"
Bi Bidong said with a light laugh, moistening her throat with the murky wine.
Ye Tian simply didn't understand.
When faced with something one truly doesn't want to lose, one can compromise on anything.
Bi Bidong was no exception.
In her heart, how much weight did her Holy Son hold?
Becoming the Pope was to serve, captivate,
and even control Ye Tian!
Ascending to godhood was also to stay with him and fulfill Ye Tian's goal of immortality.
It could be said that
without Ye Tian, all of that would be meaningless.
Her dear Holy Son was, after her deep-seated hatred,
another reason to live well—
and the only one at that.
"Actually, I think I can understand a small part of it,"
Ye Tian said, feigning nonchalance.
Bi Bidong's gentle and amiable demeanor also encouraged Ye Tian to try communicating with her in a friendly manner. If they could resolve things peacefully, that would naturally be for the best.
"You're still far from it,"
Bi Bidong scoffed, setting down the white jade wine cup in her hand.
There was no trace of anger in her expression.
Ye Tian remained silent and did not argue. This time, he had indeed miscalculated.
Bi Bidong glanced sideways at Ye Tian and teased with a smile, "By the way, since I didn't do anything to you, would you feel disappointed?"
"Of course not!"
Ye Tian immediately shook his head frantically upon hearing this.
He had no doubt that if he dared to nod and say he was disappointed,
Bi Bidong would absolutely not disappoint him—she would pounce on him immediately, using some tricks to show him all sorts of colors: red, pink, white...
At this moment,
Ye Tian felt no disappointment, only relief and confusion over Bi Bidong's actions.
"Hah~ how boring,"
Bi Bidong set down her wine cup and began pouring another, commanding,
"Then come over and have a few drinks with me."
"I don't drink,"
Ye Tian shook his head, politely declining.
He had always refrained from smoking and drinking.
On one hand, it was to save funds for pill refining; on the other, it was necessary for cultivating his Dao Heart.
He only indulged in free glimpses of female bodhisattvas on the brick-like screens.
However,
while Ye Tian refused to drink, he did not refuse to approach Bi Bidong.
With anticipation,
he walked over to Bi Bidong's desk, right by the window,
where the cold moonlight happened to fall on his face.
His dark eyes flickered with astonishment!
Up close,
Ye Tian could clearly see the purple-robed Daoist nun leaning against the windowsill.
The loose sleeves and collar
were indeed suitable for sleepwear.
But the way Bi Bidong wore them made him unable to resist taking a few more glances.
The inner layer was indescribable—it was simply a mess!
Just a strip of cloth covering her chest!
Her purple hair was tied up, strands falling around her lovely face, complementing her flushed cheeks from the wine and her despondent gaze.
Though seemingly disheveled and careless, it held a unique charm.
The white strip of cloth wrapped around her ample bosom, leaving everything else from the neckline upward—the collarbone, fragrant neck, and snow-white skin—exposed.
What was even more excessive,
Bi Bi Dong wasn't even wearing pants underneath!
As the night breeze blew outside, the hem of her garment covering her legs was lifted by the wind from the slit, revealing two long, jade-like legs as smooth as congealed cream.
Simply shameless beyond words!
"Fine, if you won't drink, I'll drink by myself."
Seeing that Ye Tian dared to approach, Bi Bi Dong showed no intention of forcing him.
She simply smiled faintly,
then lifted the white jade wine cup in her hand, tilting her head back for a small sip, swallowing slowly.
Her gaze drifted with the moonlight, and with a casual glance,
Bi Bi Dong caught sight of Ye Tian's somewhat dazed expression.
