"!!!"
Hearing Bi Bi Dong's voice, Ye Tian immediately perked up.
He stood up and turned around in one fluid motion. Striding forward, he quickly rushed to the door and pulled it open. Before even seeing anyone, he exclaimed joyfully, "My dear teacher! You've finally returned!"
"???"
Seeing Ye Tian, Bi Bi Dong's foot, which had been about to kick the door, froze mid-air. She furrowed her delicate brows, her face full of strangeness. How could it be that after just a few days apart, this kid felt so unfamiliar to her?!
"Brat, who's your 'dear'?"
"You are, my teacher!" Ye Tian spread his arms as if intending to lift Bi Bi Dong up high.
"Cut it out!" Bi Bi Dong waved her hand and lowered her foot. Stimulated by Ye Tian's antics, she momentarily forgot the good news she had been about to share. A look of disgust appeared on her face. "After just a few days apart, have you been brewing up some nonsense again?"
"Teacher, what are you talking about?" Ye Tian quickly protested his innocence. It wasn't like he was Luo Sanpao—what kind of nonsense could he possibly brew up?
Just as he was about to explain, Ye Tian suddenly froze, finally noticing Bi Bi Dong's current appearance. Her originally loose hair that cascaded over her shoulders was now tied up in a high ponytail. She wore sleek leather armor that perfectly accentuated her exquisite figure and full, rounded peach-like buttocks. Her waist and jade-like legs were slender... One look was enough to tell she was a rose with thorns!
Especially at this moment... Her charming, makeup-free face carried both the weariness of travel and an icy severity. Her entire body emanated a faint scent of blood and cold killing intent that Ye Tian hadn't sensed in a long time.
"Uh..." Seeing Bi Bi Dong in this less-than-ideal state, Ye Tian immediately wiped the smile off his face. He knew all too well that Bi Bi Dong's thorns carried lethal poison! He couldn't handle that.
"Hehe..." Ye Tian wore an awkward smile as he tentatively asked, "Um, teacher~ were you carrying out some kind of assassination mission?"
"Hah~" Bi Bi Dong sneered when she saw Ye Tian's sudden wariness. What nonsense about feeling unfamiliar! Ye Tian was still the same Ye Tian—as wary of her as ever.
"What's wrong?" Bi Bi Dong crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking down at Ye Tian with a mocking gaze. "Are you afraid I've gone on a killing spree and might casually slaughter you too?"
"Teacher, why are you always thinking about killing me?" Ye Tian felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Isn't it normal for a disciple to care about his teacher? If you were injured, I could take out my supplies early to help you!"
"Enough, stop feeding me those sweet words." Bi Bi Dong stared directly at Ye Tian. "Afraid of being killed by me? Isn't that what you've always been afraid of? How can you say I'm the one who always wants to kill you?"
"Nowhere..." Ye Tian immediately denied it.
"Can't be bothered to argue with you. Whether you have it or not isn't for you to decide—I have my own judgment." Bi Bi Dong said coldly, then reached out and pinched Ye Tian's cheek. "No harm in telling you. This time out, I was just responsible for eliminating a few groups of Wolf Thieves."
Wolf Thieves?! Surprise flashed in Ye Tian's eyes. Of course he was familiar with those beasts worse than animals.
Reproductive isolation generally exists between different species. Yet it seemed as if no such barrier existed between Gale Demon Wolves and humans.
To some extent,
Gale Demon Wolves could already stand shoulder-to-shoulder with hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts—or even surpass them.
And Wolf Thieves were the offspring resulting from Gale Demon Wolves forcibly mating with humans. As for whether any brave souls had ever turned the tables... that remained debatable.
In short,
Wolf Thieves were abominations!
The kind that committed every evil imaginable, practiced total annihilation, and should never have existed!
Hunting these creatures was an act of righteousness for the people.
Bi Bi Dong released the tender cheek she had been pinching, her cold fingertips lightly tracing Ye Tian's face as she teased with a smirk:
"Well, my dear disciple, are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied!"
Ye Tian nodded repeatedly.
For once, he didn't complain about Bi Bi Dong's infringement on his dignity. Instead, he gazed at her with admiration.
"Teacher must have achieved a great victory, right?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
Bi Bi Dong raised an eyebrow, then nodded in satisfaction.
"So you do know about Wolf Thieves. It seems you haven't been slacking off in your studies."
"I've never slacked off," Ye Tian retorted with a pout.
"But since Teacher was acting on behalf of heaven's justice, it wasn't in vain that I've been thinking about it day and night…"
"???"
Ye Tian's strange remark left Bi Bi Dong utterly bewildered.
What nonsense was this?!
"Have you taken some kind of drug? Stop spouting such rubbish!"
Bi Bi Dong snapped, then bent over and pressed a hand like a blade against Ye Tian's neck, threatening:
"Or I'll kill you at any moment!"
"Uh—"
"Silence!"
Before Ye Tian could speak, Bi Bi Dong cut him off sharply.
Inside Wisteria Residence, only she was allowed to tease Ye Tian—no other possibility was permitted!
That was absolutely non-negotiable.
"Uh… I really have been thinking about it for days," Ye Tian muttered resentfully.
Aside from his reasons for thinking about Bi Bi Dong,
he hadn't said anything false—why couldn't he speak his mind?
"?"
Bi Bi Dong stared at Ye Tian, who showed no sign of backing down, her heart filled with doubt.
Could she have truly misunderstood him just now?
After all…
At any other time, if she raised her voice even slightly, this boy would immediately put on a cheeky grin and apologize.
Why was he so unyielding today?
Was this brat genuinely concerned about her—and not just afraid of her?
Bi Bi Dong stared into Ye Tian's eyes…
They held each other's gaze for a long time.
She couldn't detect the slightest evasion in him.
Pursing her red lips, Bi Bi Dong finally chose to believe him for now.
Her heart softened slightly.
Her jade-like hand moved from his neck to gently brush his nose.
Ye Tian was taken aback.
What was this? An apology for misunderstanding him?
Bi Bi Dong straightened up.
She turned and walked toward her room, instructing as she went:
"Whether it's true or not, you'd better say such things less often from now on. Come to my room—we'll cultivate on the bed."
"Ah—okay! Right away!"
Ye Tian snapped out of his daze.
Somewhat embarrassed, he rubbed his nose and decided not to overthink it.
He quickly followed Bi Bi Dong's retreating figure.
Click!
The moment the door opened, Bi Bi Dong strode straight into the bathroom without looking back.
She swiftly closed the frosted glass door.
Leaning against the door, she bit her red lip.
A faint blush was clearly visible on her face.
Just now…
She had actually made a gesture toward Ye Tian that seemed like she was comforting him?
She must be going mad!
"..."
Ye Tian stood frozen at the doorway, utterly confused.
Could Bi Bi Dong have gotten something dirty on her?
Why is she rushing through her bath as if hurrying to be reborn?
Shaking his head, Ye Tian closed the door and deftly climbed onto Bi Bi Dong's bed.
Every time Bi Bi Dong returned from an outing, she would almost always summon Ye Tian to her bed.
Ye Tian guessed that she probably just wanted to readjust her own condition.
