Chapter 445: Tang San Graduates, A Prearranged Promise
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, more than two and a half years have passed.
The sun blazes in the sky, and Heaven Dou City is bustling with activity. At the highest teahouse,
With ventilation from all sides and a panoramic view.
Qian Renxue, dressed in a white brocade robe, leaned against the outer railing.
Pinching a cup of clear tea, he lightly touched it to his lips.
In his early twenties, he possessed a calmness befitting his high position.
His long hair was uncombed, but his clothes were neat and proper.
The two seemed disparate, yet he didn't appear lazy. His imposing presence was tempered with an approachable air.
Qian Renxue sipped his tea, his purple eyes lowered to the street below.
Silent and lost in thought.
In his left palm, resting on the railing, faint golden light emanated.
It was the little rabbit, about to graduate, contacting him.
"Your Highness, Holy Son! Are you listening? Little Wu misses you so much ~"
Hearing that expectant yet restrained voice.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but smile. With a thought, he softly responded.
"I'm here ~ What do you want to say this time?"
"That's great! Hehe... Your Highness, Holy Son, your voice is so nice!"
"Stop it! Don't exaggerate."
"I'm not exaggerating. As long as it's about Your Highness, Holy Son, Little Wu likes everything."
Qian Renxue took a shallow sip of tea.
He said gently, "Hurry up and get to the point. I've been a little busy lately."
"Okay, okay... Little Wu will tell you now."
The little rabbit was extremely obedient, immediately ceasing her idle chatter and reporting:
"Your Highness, Holy Son, Little Wu has successfully graduated!"
"Tomorrow, I'm going with Tang Xiaosan to that advanced soul master academy introduced by the arrogant one-eyed pig."
Qian Renxue's purple eyes narrowed slightly.
After waiting for so long, Tang San was finally about to show his face.
Although it wasn't yet time to kill him, causing him some trouble would be amusing.
After all, his sentence had already been decided!
"Next time Your Highness, Holy Son, comes to see Little Wu, will you not be able to find me?"
The little rabbit's soft, glutinous voice was filled with worry.
Qian Renxue gently instructed:
"Silly rabbit, go without worry ~ Have you forgotten how we communicate?"
"Oh, right ~ Little Wu is Your Highness's pet rabbit. Hehe!"
Little Wu's joyful and complacent voice came through.
Qian Renxue calmly accepted it.
After so long, he was already used to this rabbit's tendency to lick him randomly.
"Alright, hurry up and pack your things."
"Once you've settled down in that advanced soul master academy, I'll come to see you."
"Okay, okay ~ Goodbye, Your Highness, Holy Son!"
"Protect yourself."
"Little Wu will!"
"..."
The mark in his palm stopped flickering, and Little Wu's delicate voice faded away.
A gentle breeze stirred on the high floor, rustling his golden hair.
Whispers filled his ears, extremely gentle, with a hint of coolness and warmth.
"Jue ~ The donkey meat is roasted."
Behind Qian Renxue stood a slender figure in a long black dress.
Her light blue hair cascaded straight down her back.
With an elegant face, her beautiful eyes were full of affection. Her slender fingers held a jade plate.
She walked gracefully, step by step, to Qian Renxue's side.
Her jade fingers held chopsticks,
Picking up a piece of tender, juicy donkey meat, she raised her head and gently brought it to Qian Renxue's lips.
"Mm."
Qian Renxue put down his tea, turned his head and smiled, opening his mouth.
"How is it? Is it delicious? Did I roast it for too long?"
Ye Lingling asked with a smile.
Nearly eighteen years old, she had completely shed her childishness, standing tall and graceful, gentle and moving.
Her onion-like jade fingers lightly caressed the corner of Qian Renxue's lips.
"The heat is just right."
Qian Renxue nodded in praise.
He grasped Ye Lingling's fair hand, gently pulling her into his arms with a smile.
"That's good ~"
Ye Lingling leaned against Qian Renxue's chest, her beautiful face flushed.
"I'm sorry, Lingling, I haven't been able to spend time with you for so long."
Qian Renxue apologized softly, playing with her smooth blue hair.
"But you are the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall ~"
Ye Lingling shook her head gently, looking up with a face full of devotion and understanding:
"As the Holy Son, you can't revolve around me, of course."
Saying this,
Ye Lingling lowered her beautiful eyes, her fingertips lightly touching the chilled green grapes on the jade plate, and said softly:
"I'm already very happy that you can come to see me."
As her voice fell.
When Ye Lingling looked up, her red lips held a green grape, and she shyly stared at Qian Renxue.
She tiptoed and sent the green grape towards Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue smiled, embracing her slender waist, bowing slightly, and taking the green grape into his mouth.
Their eyes met, her light blue eyes filled with longing.
The green grape swirled and warmed in his mouth.
"Mmm ~"
——————
"Ah ~"
Looking at the embracing man and woman.
In the empty, transparent center of the top floor.
A regretful murmur sounded.
"If I had known it could be like this, I wouldn't have let Lingling send it over."
With long light green hair, wearing a purple cheongsam, and possessing curves in all the right places.
Dugu Yan sat beside the oven, turning the pieces of meat in her hand.
Her green eyes stared straight at Qian Renxue.
Filled with admiration.
Her cold and beautiful face had some gray marks from the smoke.
Making her look a little more adorable.
Watching the man and woman at the edge, her eyes held a hint of hope.
————————
After a long time, their lips parted.
Qian Renxue caught the jade plate that slipped from Ye Lingling's hand.
Looking at his dazed fiancée in his arms,
With a flushed, charming face, her lips slightly parted, breathing heavily, and sticking out her tongue.
It took her a while to recover from her infatuated state.
"Lingling is getting more and more beautiful."
Qian Renxue pinched Ye Lingling's red cheeks, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"It's obviously that you're getting more and more wicked ~"
Ye Lingling lightly bit her red lips, covering her round, delicate body, which had been kneaded until it was hot.
"Heh."
Qian Renxue twitched the corner of his mouth, not denying it.
Hadn't Lingling also changed a lot? That kiss just now was the best proof.
Ye Lingling glared at him playfully.
She said softly, "No matter what, you can't forget our promise."
Before her voice faded.
Ye Lingling's delicate face was covered with more red frost.
She stammered, "Even if you're busy, you can still spare one night, right?"
"I've always remembered ~"
Qian Renxue rubbed her delicate nose and said softly:
"When that day comes, it's okay to bring you back to Spirit Hall to live."
"No, don't..."
Ye Lingling shook her head gently.
"I'm not very greedy, I just want to be your first woman."
"I'm not ready to meet the Pope at Spirit Hall yet ~"
Qian Renxue was about to speak.
Dugu Yan couldn't stand the suffocatingly sour stench in the air.
Resting her face on her hand, she stared at Qian Renxue quietly.
She softly suggested:
"Why don't... Your Highness consider taking this servant, Yan Yan, back with you ~"
"Yan Yan can also help serve His Majesty the Pope."
"Haha ~"
Dugu Yan smiled, seemingly joking.
But Qian Renxue knew that she was serious.
Ye Lingling didn't speak.
Qian Renxue shook his head gently.
"It's not necessary for now. Does Yan Yan think I lack people to take care of me?"
"Hmph ~ It must be that green little fox!"
Dugu Yan curled her lips.
Qian Renxue chuckled, embracing Ye Lingling and walking towards Dugu Yan.
He sat down, picked up a skewer of meat, and brought it to Dugu Yan's mouth.
"Alright, you guys eat. I've been out for a while, I should go back."
Wishing you all a happy life!
