...
In that suffocating half minute, apart from Na'er, who had already seen through Xue Qinghe's true identity, all the girls present had completely gone astray and completed an extremely rigorous and irrefutable logical self-consistency in their minds, firmly believing in this "shocking gay love".
As the only conscious person present, Na'er naturally sensed the divine soul power that had instantly ignited on Qian Renxue's body at the first moment.
She knew all too well the proud and extremely proud nature of this young lady from the Spirit Hall.
If these uninformed onlookers continued to watch, this "Crown Prince," driven to the brink, might really lose his temper on the spot and draw the Angelic Holy Sword to silence them!
So, Na'er, being extremely sensible, stepped forward.
"Oh dear, did we come back at the wrong time?"
Na'er turned around, feigning a shy "don't look" expression, and while pushing away Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu who were still desperately trying to peek at the bed, she loudly proclaimed, "Brother is seriously injured right now!
His Highness the Crown Prince is using a very special 'royal secret method' to heal him.
Everyone, come out quickly and don't disturb them!"
Although Ning Rongrong and the others were itching for gossip, their hearts were burning with curiosity, and they wished they could move a small stool to sit on the bed and continue watching the live broadcast.
But after all, they were all young girls who had never experienced anything, and they were too shy to actually stay here and watch the two grown men's indescribable "healing process".
So, with Na'er's half-hearted cover, a group of girls blushed, covered their eyes, and very cooperatively left Xuan Hao's room, and very "thoughtfully" locked the door again for them.
The moment the door closed.
"call--"
Xuan Hao, who had just been pressing Qian Renxue firmly onto the bed in an absolutely domineering manner, suddenly went limp like a deflated balloon, collapsing onto the bed as if all his strength had been drained.
Are you alright?!
Qian Renxue was initially filled with shame and anger and wanted to lash out, but when she saw Xuan Hao's pale face and exhausted appearance covered in sweat, her anger vanished without a trace, replaced by an unconcealable panic and heartache.
"I...I already told you, I absolutely cannot use force during this period..."
Xuan Hao gasped for breath, weakly for a bitter smile, "The aftereffects of my 'Blood Qi Bomb' are much worse than those of an ordinary Martial Soul True Body.
That extremely violent draining of blood qi is almost comparable to the reckless ring explosion of the Haotian Sect! If you had really forced me to use my second move to subdue you, I probably would have died right here."
"But...but they all just saw that scene!"
Qian Renxue bit her lip, her eyes reddening with anxiety. "What if they spread this around?
What will I do?
The Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe, is actually a perverted man-loving freak and a homosexual?!
Once this news spreads, the identity of 'Xue Qinghe' will become a laughing stock across the entire continent, and my more than ten years of infiltration plan will be completely ruined!"
"Oh, my dear aunt, you can rest assured."
Xuan Hao helplessly grasped her trembling hand and gently comforted her,
"Although they like to make a fuss, we're all family here and know each other well.
Rongrong and Xiaowu aren't the kind of fools who don't know their place and gossip everywhere.
I'll go out and give them a little nudge later, and this matter will be completely buried."
"Also, hurry up and put your clothes back on after they've been torn. When you come out with me later, remember..."
Xuan Hao instructed in an extremely serious tone, "Once we get next door, I'll do the talking.
You just keep your mouth shut and maintain your aloof and unfathomable demeanor as the Crown Prince."
Xuan Hao rolled his eyes at her, annoyed:
"I told you not to do anything reckless, not to do anything reckless, but you wouldn't listen!
Now look what happened, you've gone too far, haven't you?"
Qian Renxue was extremely guilty at this moment, knowing that she had caused this huge embarrassment by playing with fire, so she obediently shut her mouth and did not refute Xuan Hao's scolding.
A short while later, the two straightened their disheveled clothes and walked out of the room, trying to appear calm.
...
In Na'er's room next door.
As soon as the two pushed open the door, Qian Renxue immediately felt an extremely strange gaze, full of inquiry and ambiguity, falling on her as if it were a physical entity.
The atmosphere was so intense that the young master of the Spirit Hall almost exploded on the spot, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
But Xuan Hao walked forward very naturally, grabbed Qian Renxue's hand tightly, and pulled her to sit down side by side on the sofa next to him.
This was originally just a "physical control" measure taken by Xuan Hao to prevent Qian Renxue from going berserk at any time.
However, the scene of their hands clasped tightly was interpreted differently by the group of girls nearby—it was clearly Xuan Hao arrogantly asserting his dominance over them, his "official wives," and acknowledging the special relationship between him and Xue Qinghe!
Xuan Hao ignored their increasingly distorted gazes, instead abandoning his usual nonchalant attitude and scanning everyone present with an extremely serious look, before speaking in a deep voice:
"I hope everyone keeps everything that happened in the room today a secret.
Not even a single word of it should be revealed to your family.
Just pretend... that you didn't see anything when you opened the door today."
Xuan Hao looked at everyone, his tone becoming more serious: "After all, you all know very well what His Highness the Crown Prince's status is.
Once this matter gets out, you all know how terrifying the impact it will be on him, on the entire Tiandou royal family, and even on the entire continent's (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure of the continent), right?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and the others exchanged glances and nodded solemnly.
Gossip aside, coming from a major sect, they naturally knew the seriousness of this matter.
In fact, in a world like Douluo Continent where strength reigns supreme, it's not a big deal for a ruler to have a peculiar hobby, like liking men, even if it's controversial.
It's not something that could lead to the destruction of a country or the extinction of a race.
But the problem is... just now in the room, everyone could see clearly that Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of a country and the future Emperor of Tiandou, was actually the one who was pinned down and whose hands were tightly locked in this forbidden relationship!
If the ruler of a country is a "victim" who can be manipulated at will, then the nature of the situation is completely different!
This is an utterly shameful disgrace that the entire Heaven Dou Empire cannot tolerate!
If this gets out, the entire Heaven Dou royal family will never be able to hold their heads high in front of the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall again!
Seeing that the girls were all quite sensible and reasonable, Xuan Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned to look at Qian Renxue, who was sitting next to him, her body stiff, gave her a reassuring look, and said softly, "Your Highness, please go back to the Crown Prince's residence to handle state affairs.
I will explain things to everyone here."
Although Qian Renxue was still feeling uneasy and extremely insecure, she knew that staying in this strange situation would only make things worse.
So she reluctantly agreed to Xuan Hao's arrangement, got up, and fled the hotel as if she were escaping.
"Bang."
As the door closed again and Qian Renxue left, the atmosphere in the room underwent another extremely subtle reversal.
After the initial shock and intense gossip, the bizarre and absurd feeling that "two grown men actually got together" surged into everyone's hearts once again like a tide.
Immediately afterwards, a strong sense of sourness and resentment began to spread in the hearts of the girls.
Aren't we good enough?!
We're a bunch of gorgeous girls with amazing figures and beautiful faces, and we're always hanging around you.
And you're still not satisfied?!
How could she be so heartless as to get involved with Xue Qinghe, a man with a penis?!
Ning Rongrong bit her lip, looking at Xuan Hao with an extremely complicated expression.
After holding back for a long time, she finally couldn't help but ask the ultimate question that made everyone's heart race and their scalp tingle:
"Xuanhao, tell us the truth.
The wild positions you two were in on the bed just now... you wouldn't have... you've already 'entered' each other, would you?"
