"Alright, the misunderstanding is cleared up. How about we grab something to eat together~"
Just then, Bai Zhou's voice came from behind.
"Oh..."
Hearing Bai Zhou's voice, Xiao Xiao's face instantly flushed, and she quickly broke free from Wang Dong's embrace.
Although it was normal for two girls to be close, she subconsciously still treated Wang Dong as a boy and didn't want others to see her being intimate with Wang Dong.
Xiao Xiao turned her head slightly and finally saw Bai Zhou entering from the doorway, her entire person slightly stunned...
Because she found that Bai Zhou, at this moment, seemed especially handsome...
Before this, she had actually paid attention to Bai Zhou and indeed felt that this boy was quite good, arguably the type many girls liked.
But in her eyes, Bai Zhou lacked a bit of heroic spirit compared to Wang Dong.
Wang Dong could be said to perfectly fit her aesthetic, making her infatuated and unable to extricate herself.
And now, Wang Dong's male image was shattered in her heart, while Bai Zhou's image gradually grew stronger in her heart, taking root and sprouting...
Adding to this, because of Wang Dong's matter over the past few days, she had chatted with Bai Zhou quite a bit using Microcard.
Naturally, she developed a strange fondness for Bai Zhou...
Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao's cheeks inexplicably turned slightly red.
"Alright, Xiao Xiao, it's my birthday today, I'm very happy you could come celebrate with me~"
Wang Dong walked over, seeming to have sensed something, and while speaking, took Bai Zhou's hand, fingers intertwined, as if declaring ownership.
"Wait, you guys..."
Seeing this scene, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes.
"Hehe, Bai Zhou is my boyfriend~ He's also the first boy to know my true identity~"
Wang Dong giggled, completely unreserved, and while speaking, leaned into Bai Zhou's embrace.
Hearing Wang Dong's personal admission, Xiao Xiao seemed to hear the sound of her own heart breaking...
Good heavens...
She had finally felt her heart flutter twice, but she never expected that the objects of her affection already had someone they liked, and they were even a couple.
Xiao Xiao's head was swimming at this moment, and she suddenly felt dizzy, her heart aching so much she almost fainted.
"Xiao Xiao, are you okay!"
Seeing Xiao Xiao about to fall, Wang Dong quickly walked over and supported her.
"No... I'm fine..."
Xiao Xiao forced a smile and said, "Wang Dong, happy birthday, and I wish you both happiness. I won't disturb you any further..."
Saying this, Xiao Xiao forcefully broke free from Wang Dong's hand and stumbled out...
"Sigh... why did you have to provoke her like that..."
Bai Zhou sighed softly, feeling a bit helpless.
He actually didn't want to reveal his relationship with Wang Dong just yet. It would have been nice to have dinner with Xiao Xiao, and she could even become a teammate in the future.
He didn't really need teammates, but Wang Dong alone was still a bit lacking. If Xiao Xiao could provide support, that would be ideal.
Unfortunately, Wang Dong might be a bit possessive...
"Hmph, if I didn't actively reveal our relationship, what if Xiao Xiao fell for you?" Wang Dong pouted, muttering softly.
"Haha, alright, let's not talk about this. Let's leave here. I've prepared a birthday gift for you~"
Bai Zhou chuckled awkwardly, feeling a bit guilty, and quickly changed the subject.
Whether Xiao Xiao had fallen for him, he didn't know, but he did like Xiao Xiao a little.
It was just that before, because Xiao Xiao's crush on Wang Dong seemed a bit serious, Bai Zhou never found an opportunity, and coupled with the fact that he didn't really need it, he just let nature take its course and didn't actively pursue...
Now that Xiao Xiao's crush on Wang Dong was over, she was in her most emotionally vulnerable state. If he were to seize this opportunity...
Hmm, the chances were still quite high.
It was just that Bai Zhou hadn't expected Wang Dong to be so sensitive...
"Birthday gift! What kind of gift!"
Hearing this, Wang Dong's eyes instantly lit up. While looking at Bai Zhou eagerly, she pulled Bai Zhou's arm into her embrace and rubbed it~
"You'll know when the time comes~"
Bai Zhou gently cupped Wang Dong's face, gave her a light peck, and then pulled Wang Dong towards the hotel.
...
Ten minutes later, Bai Zhou brought Wang Dong to the hotel's luxurious suite.
Entering the room.
A soft light shone down, and the resplendent decorations, illuminated by the light, exuded a faint warmth.
The air was filled with the scent of roses. In the center of the room, a large bed was surrounded by pink gauze curtains, and a few crystal-clear water droplets condensed on the petals. The vibrant red of the roses complemented the soft light by the bed, and the entire room was immersed in a romantic atmosphere.
In a corner of the suite, there was a small table covered with a delicate tablecloth. On the table were two glasses of red wine that had already been poured, emitting a faint rich aroma.
And in the center of the table, there was a heart shape arranged with rose petals...
It looked a bit cheesy.
But...
In the center of the heart, there was a transparent crystal box.
Inside the box, a palm-sized Spirit Beast leg bone was faintly emitting a soft golden light.
Putting everything else aside, this single Spirit Bone alone instantly elevated the entire room's decor to the highest level!
"Th-th-this... This is a Spirit Bone!!!" Seeing the incredibly conspicuous Spirit Bone, Wang Dong immediately covered her small mouth and exclaimed softly.
"That's right,' I said I'd give you a Spirit Bone when I had the chance. Do you like it?' Bai Zhou said with a smile.
He himself didn't have high requirements for Spirit Bones, so what he gave Wang Dong was also similar.
A thousand years was too low.
A hundred thousand years was too high, and he couldn't get it.
An ordinary ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone was enough.
Because this thing was only useful in this trashy Douluo plane.
Outside the Douluo World, Spirit Bones and the like would at most slightly increase combat power.
Moreover, this thing didn't have much to do with becoming a god or future growth.
After all, no matter how powerful one was, without luck, even with Heaven-Defying talent and god-like potential, it would be impossible to become a god in this lifetime...
Without becoming a god, even if one could fuse a hundred hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bones, they would ultimately just turn to dust.
Bai Zhou had the System, so becoming a god was a sure thing.
After becoming a god, what mattered was the comprehension of the God Realm's rules.
Things like Spirit Bones, spirit rings, and Spirit Abilities were all like playing house, completely useless.
"Mhm! I love it!"
Wang Dong nodded vigorously, a smile on her lips, full of sweetness.
A ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone, who wouldn't love that~
Of course, even if Bai Zhou gave her any other gift, even if it was worthless, it would still be the most precious in her eyes.
"As long as you like it."
Bai Zhou gently took Wang Dong's hand and helped her sit down.
Then he gently placed the ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone into her hand and said, "This Spirit Bone is called 'Glow of Gold'. It's the left arm bone of a ten-thousand-year Golden Earth Dragon King. It has the light attribute, possesses the ability of Light's Fire, and comes with a decent Spirit Bone skill."
"Should I absorb it now?"
Wang Dong took the Spirit Bone, looked up at Bai Zhou, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Absorbing a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone would take at least three to four hours. She didn't want to waste such a wonderful night...
"Mhm..."
Bai Zhou originally wanted to say he'd protect her while she absorbed it, but seeing Wang Dong's slightly shy gaze, he immediately discarded that thought.
"The Spirit Bone isn't going to run away, absorb it tomorrow. Tonight...' Bai Zhou sat beside Wang Dong and gently put his arm around her slender waist.
Although Wang Dong still couldn't be 'eaten'.
But there were countless exciting ways to play.
Moreover, Wang Dong would definitely be cooperative tonight, and Bai Zhou didn't want to waste time.
"Hmph hmph~ For the sake of the gift, tonight... I'll listen to you... but you can't go too far..."
Wang Dong nestled softly in Bai Zhou's embrace, muttering.
"Mhm~ Love you~"
Bai Zhou pecked Wang Dong on the cheek.
Then, he took out some items from his storage spirit tool...
Mhm, normal items, not torture instruments...
