She did not reject Xiao Tian's actions, but instead looked at him tenderly, feeling his thoughtfulness and gentleness. A smile slowly curled at the corners of her mouth, and an inexplicable sense of happiness welled up in her heart, along with a hint of excitement. The excitement came from the feeling that she seemed to be poaching her own junior's man.
Seeing Han Yue's subconscious smile, Xiao Tian mentally gave himself a checkmark. He put away the handkerchief in his hand, still holding her without letting go, and Han Yue leaned gently against Xiao Tian's side.
"You can try to compress this Dou Technique into one or two ice balls, or even have two ice balls connect one after the other."
After Xiao Tian finished speaking, he felt the sensation of holding Han Yue. Because of her ice attribute, even through her clothes, she felt cool, with a hint of resilience and elasticity, proving that Han Yue usually underwent quite a bit of intense training. Ya Fei also had the ice attribute, but when touching her, she felt soft and boneless, fitting her charming and alluring nature perfectly. Xiao Tian's thoughts wandered; one was charming and alluring, the other cold and ethereal, as if she didn't belong to the mortal world. He dared not even imagine what it would be like when they were together. He would probably be excited all night long, without cease.
Xiao Tian took out several medicinal pills and placed them in front of her. He picked up one and slowly brought it to her lips. Although she had some doubts in her heart about what it was, her trust ultimately prevailed, and she opened her slightly pale lips. He placed the medicinal pill into her mouth. The pill melted slightly into a cool energy, continuously flowing through her body. Her physical weakness and fatigue gradually recovered, regaining new vitality and energy, and her complexion also began to change from pale.
Xiao Tian fed the remaining medicinal pills into her mouth one by one. When feeding the last one, Han Yue's lips touched Xiao Tian's finger, which he hadn't pulled back yet. In an instant, it felt as if an electric current flowed through them both. Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still.
Xiao Tian was slightly stunned and quickly pulled back his finger, which still had a slightly moist sensation on it. He coughed lightly, trying to cover it up. A trace of panic and confusion flashed in Han Yue's eyes, immediately replaced by shyness.
She felt her heart about to burst out of her chest; she even felt her blood flow quicken, and her body felt slightly warm. Han Yue felt so shy she could die. She hurriedly broke free from Xiao Tian's embrace, steadied herself, used the Dou Qi she had just recovered, activated her movement Dou Technique, and walked toward the Inner Academy with a crimson face.
For Han Yue, who was a complete novice when it came to contact with the opposite sex, the whole situation was shy and embarrassing. Her mind was a mess, and she couldn't calm down at all. Her subconscious reaction was to leave quickly; she couldn't let Xiao Tian discover her current abnormal state, which completely contradicted her usual persona.
Xiao Tian watched Han Yue's departing figure and smiled without saying anything more. It was not appropriate to chase after her now; too much is as bad as too little. Besides, there wouldn't be any trouble in the Inner Academy, and her Dou Qi had mostly recovered. Xiao Tian glanced at the forest, which looked slightly messy and covered in ice shards, then looked at his palm. A slight smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he slowly turned and headed toward the Inner Academy.
Without stopping along the way, Han Yue returned to her room and dove straight under the covers, wrapping her body tightly. Xiao Tian's incredibly handsome face with its gentle smile kept appearing in her mind, and finally, she recalled her first kiss. She felt like a fully cooked shrimp. She buried her face deep into her quilt, feeling her head in a complete mess.
"He wouldn't be laughing at me, would he?"
…
After returning to the pavilion, Xiao Tian went straight into Xun'er's room. He no longer returned to his own room now, basically sleeping either in Xun'er's room or at the Eternal Dream Palace. Xiao Tian looked at Xun'er, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating. Sensing Xiao Tian's aura, Xun'er opened her eyes immediately.
Seeing that Xun'er had stopped cultivating, he walked straight up to her and pinched her smooth, tender cheek. Xun'er threw herself into Xiao Tian's arms. "Brother Xiao Tian, you're finally back."
Xiao Tian embraced the pouncing Xun'er, reaching out to support her hips. Before Xiao Tian could reply, Xun'er leaned in close and sniffed his clothes. In an instant, she knew whose scent it was, but she chose not to say it explicitly.
Seeing Xun'er's expression, Xiao Tian knew that she already understood many things. He sat Xun'er on a chair, poured her a glass of warm water, and then started massaging her. Xiao Tian didn't hide anything and briefly explained everything to Xun'er.
Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Xun'er didn't have much of a reaction. She had long known her Brother Xiao Tian's personality; it would be strange if there were no issues. She had also secretly investigated Han Yue and found no problems, so she had tacitly accepted it. Seeing Xun'er like this, Xiao Tian breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, one must start training them from a young age. If it weren't for the influence from when they were young, he would probably have had his "fishpond" blown up long ago.
Sensing Xiao Tian's abnormality, Xun'er grabbed his arm and bit down hard. Xiao Tian endured the pain, gritting his teeth and daring not to make a sound, only able to bear it silently. After biting Xiao Tian's arm four or five times, Xun'er let go of his hand and laughed softly. "Of course, as punishment, those things I promised you before are cancelled."
Hearing Xun'er's words, Xiao Tian was completely stunned. After choking her last time, she had adamantly refused, and he had finally managed to negotiate the opportunity for tonight. All the bathing together, the talk shows, the dynamic light waves — gone, all gone…
"Don't stop, keep massaging."
For the sake of his future happiness and family harmony, Master Xiao sorrowfully continued his work.
Early morning. The sunlight spilled wantonly across the world, dispelling the chill of the night, and everyone felt their bodies warm and cozy. Xiao Tian led the people of Boundless Gate to the high platform, where Han Yue and the people of Moon Spirit were already waiting.
Seeing Xiao Tian arrive, Han Yue's face quietly flushed with a hint of red, which then quickly vanished. She smiled and nodded at Xiao Tian, and Xiao Tian responded with a smile. The members of Moon Spirit all wore expressions of eager anticipation for gossip. Han Yue's rapid retreat to her pavilion last night had made them realize something was amiss, as if a huge piece of gossip was right in front of them.
Xun'er, standing to the side, watched the two of them, feeling that something she didn't know about had happened between them. Xun'er, holding Xiao Tian's arm, quietly pinched him. If there was a problem, it must be this bad guy's fault; pinching him was never wrong.
She let go of Xiao Tian's arm and walked over to Han Yue. Han Yue looked at Xun'er beside her, assuming that Xiao Tian had already told Xun'er about last night's events. She raised a Dou Qi protective shield and hurriedly whispered, "Xun'er, those were all accidents. I won't ruin your relationship; it's all my fault."
