The next morning,
Sunlight streamed into the room through the window lattice.
Dongfang Jing opened his eyes precisely on time.
He tilted his head slightly, his gaze sweeping to the left and right.
Dongfang Yao and Wang Qiu'er were still sound asleep, their breathing even.
He sat up, stretched his limbs slightly, and was somewhat surprised.
Last night... nothing really happened?
I really slept well!
'It seems Yao'er has really grown up... She used to always like to sleep on me like an octopus...'
Dongfang Jing sighed inwardly, realizing how quickly time really flies.
He quietly lifted the covers, got out of bed, and headed to the bathroom.
After confirming that the bathroom door has closed...
The two women, who were pretending to be asleep in bed, opened their eyes almost simultaneously.
Wang Qiu'er turned to the side and lowered her voice: "Hey, didn't you say you were going to seize the opportunity and take the initiative? Why did you just sleep?"
Dongfang Yao also turned to face Wang Qiu'er, a profound expression on her face, and explained in a low voice, "Duh, this is called desensitization training! Do you understand? We can't just start hugging and kissing right away, can we? That's too aggressive, he'll definitely be scared and kick us out immediately!"
She paused, a sly glint in her eyes: "We need to take it step by step! First, we'll share a bed with him a few more times, so he can slowly get used to our presence."
"The more we wait until he's completely relaxed and comfortable at this distance, the higher our chances of success will be!"
After hearing this, Wang Qiu'er's eyes lit up, and she suddenly realized.
I see!
When it comes to manipulating people, Yao'er, you really know your stuff!
After washing up, Dongfang Jing came out of the bathroom and saw that the two women had woken up and were sitting on the bed talking quietly.
He couldn't help but smile; it seemed the two of them got along quite well.
"Awake? Get ready, we'll meet at the second-floor restaurant for breakfast later."
"Okay, I know!" Dongfang Yao replied.
Dongfang Jing nodded, turned and left the room. He needed to go next door to pay his respects to his master, Biji.
Arriving at the door of the adjacent suite, he raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.
"Come in," came Brigitte's gentle voice from inside.
Dongfang Jing pushed open the door and entered.
He saw Brigitte and Ah Yin sitting at the tea table by the window, enjoying tea.
Besides them, Xiao Wu was also there.
When Xiao Wu saw Dongfang Jing enter, she visibly flinched.
Dongfang Jing ignored Xiao Wu's reaction and walked straight to Bi Ji, bowing slightly: "Master, Sister A Yin, good morning."
"Yes." Brigitte nodded with a smile.
Ah Yin smiled and replied, "Good morning."
After you have finished your greetings,
Dongfang Jing's gaze then turned to Xiao Wu, and he asked bluntly, "Have you made up your mind?"
To be honest, Xiao Wu was beyond his expectations.
Ah Yin's disguise talent can only be applied to two targets, and the slots have already been given to Xue Di and Bing Di to conceal their soul beast auras.
The extra Xiao Wu is undoubtedly a potential problem.
Her identity as a transformed soul beast easily attracts unwanted covetousness and conflict.
Therefore, they gave Xiaowu two choices:
One option is for Biji to escort her safely back to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, where she has a familiar environment and powerful companions, which is undoubtedly the safest choice.
The second option is to stay, join their team, and act together.
This second option was actually suggested by Brigitte herself.
Out of respect for his master and tolerance for his lover, Dongfang Jing did not refute.
Otherwise, given his personality, he would have packed the person up and sent them back to the forest long ago.
Xiao Wu sat on the edge of the bed, her two little hands tightly gripping the sheets beneath her.
She took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at Dongfang Jing with a determined gaze: "I want to stay."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jing's face remained expressionless.
But deep down, I was quite unhappy.
His calm purple eyes seemed to see right through people, and his tone turned low: "Stay? You're doing this for Tang San?"
Xiao Wu froze, her expression changing slightly, as her thoughts were seen through.
That's right, she could never let go of Tang San in her heart.
Dongfang Jing said without any politeness, "You should have heard my master tell you about my feud with his father. Therefore, I will kill Tang Hao and his son!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately became anxious!
She now believes that Dongfang Jing will be able to do it one day.
So, her voice pleaded, "You have a grudge against his father... but... but the mistress is innocent! He is him, and his father is his father!"
"Heh," Dongfang Jing sneered, and retorted, "Then let me ask you, what was your purpose in risking entering the human world in the first place?"
"I..." Xiao Wu was stunned.
When asked this question, she suddenly remembered her original purpose, and her eyes instantly ignited with hatred: "Of course, it's to avenge my mother! I'm going to kill that human female soul master!"
"If that's the case, don't you think what you're saying is contradictory?"
That female soul master killed your mother but not you. Why do you hate her so much and insist on killing her for revenge?
Similarly! If I kill Tang Hao, then guess what, as Tang Hao's son, Tang San might want to kill me to avenge his father?
Since I already know someone is plotting to kill me, why should I keep him around as a threat? Am I just waiting for him to become stronger so he can kill me later?
"this..."
Xiao Wu was speechless when asked the question.
He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't find any reason to refute it, and his face turned pale and then red.
Brigitte, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer.
She stood up, walked to Dongfang Jing's side, raised her hand, and gently tapped him on the head. Her tone was not reproachful at all, but rather full of doting helplessness:
"Kill, kill, kill! You're such an evil disciple whose mind is full of fighting and killing. How many times have I told you to be gentle and patient when you talk to girls?"
Dongfang Jing touched the spot where he had been hit, feeling helpless.
Master, you don't understand!
She's clearly in love and her mind is clouded by romance; being gentle and reasonable with her is completely useless.
It will only make her feel that there is still hope, and she will become even more obsessed with it!
Looking at her disciple's somewhat aggrieved yet hesitant expression, Biji couldn't help but smile slightly.
Her gaze shifted to Xiao Wu, whose face was pale, her tone gentle but carrying a hint of warning:
"Xiao Wu, we told you yesterday about Tang Hao's actions and his schemes against you."
Tang Hao saw through your true form long ago, but he hasn't made a move against you yet. The reason for that is...
Dongfang Jing continued, "Tang Hao guarded your living 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone entirely for his precious son Tang San to absorb."
With each additional word Dongfang Jing spoke, Xiao Wu's face grew paler, and her body trembled slightly.
Yesterday, Ah Yin did tell her about Ah Yin's ordeal.
Tang Hao had meticulously planned his scheme, and he was ultimately forced to sacrifice himself.
But... but is that really what mistresses are like?
Even if his father was a hypocrite and a true villain,
Tang San... is he really that bad?
Deep down, Xiao Wu still didn't want to believe that her third brother, who had taken care of and protected her, could be that kind of person.
That's why she wanted to stay even more; she wanted to witness it with her own eyes! She wanted to understand!
Seeing the stubborn determination on Xiao Wu's face, Dongfang Jing rolled his eyes and thought to himself.
This girl is hopeless; she's hopelessly in love!
Even Brigitte was speechless at this moment.
He could only sigh helplessly and said to Dongfang Jing, "Alright, disciple, since Xiao Wu has decided to stay, then let her stay. Besides, if she wants to continue to increase her soul power, she must come into contact with humans."
Don't worry, we're here, we won't let anything happen to you.
"Alright."
Dongfang Jing was too lazy to care anymore. Since his master had said so, he would leave Xiao Wu's matter to them to handle.
He changed the subject: "Master, Sister Yin, it's getting late, shall we go have breakfast?"
"good."
