Chapter 335: The Spring Dream Face-off
Chapter 335: The Spring Dream Face-off
Everything before my eyes was a fiery red, and in a moment of dizziness, it felt as if I were at the frigid, silent bottom of a boundless lake.
Tao Tiantian felt somewhat suffocated, her hands moving instinctively to undo the buttons at her chest, trying to find some cool relief.
However, once her fair, jade-like hands touched them, they could not be contained.
With the undoing of the top button, then the second, the third…
The moment she undid the first button, it was as if she had stripped away her sense of shame, and she brazenly undid them all.
Yet even so, the heat persisted; a heat not born from exterior factors, but kindled from within her heart.
Only after grasping at emptiness did she awaken from her dream, her pale jade-like cheeks no longer carrying the tranquility of past days, instead flushed with a bewitched crimson hue.
“Where, where am I?”
After a soft whimper, Tao Tiantian suddenly remembered the foolishness of her dream and let out a scream, covering her cheeks with her hands.
It wasn’t until she realized that Xu Yuan was not around that she breathed a sigh of relief.
She hurriedly covered herself with her scattered clothes, concealing the overflow of snowy white beauty, her face shining brighter and rosier than ever.
“Why, why would I have such a dream? Was it, was it because of that scoundrel who touched me this afternoon?”
Tao Tiantian’s normally charming face grew even more bashful as she felt a slight coolness at her buttocks and reached back instinctively, only then coming to a realization,
her heart growing more anxious, her face burning with a hot pain.
The more ashamed she felt, the deeper the memory of the dream became. Recalling her unrestrained behavior in the dream, she felt an unbearable sense of shame.
Something wasn’t right; after all, she was the esteemed Demon Venerable, an Immortal Emperor. How could she behave like a maiden who’s never been in love?
Being led by the hand, she was already thinking of names?
“Thank goodness they weren’t here. If they had seen it, I would have truly died of shame…”
One was her nominal other self, in fact, her “daughter” she had raised for many years. What would she think if she saw her thus?
The other was the man she still feigned disinterest in that afternoon. If he had seen her like this, who knows if he’d think her an easy woman to win over?
As for Lin Qingque? Not familiar, no need to care too much.
Midway through her thoughts, Tao Tiantian frowned, belatedly feeling that something was amiss.
It was deep into the night now, with a strong snowstorm outside and the Spiritual Tide at its most violent.
In such circumstances, why would they just vanish without reason?
And that all three disappeared together?
Was it some matter they didn’t want her to hear?
Or did they encounter some danger and led it away for her safety?
No, even if that were the case, Xu Yuan, with his nature, should have woken her up first, to keep her alert.
As for being abandoned, that had never crossed Tao Tiantian’s mind.
Not to mention his stance in front of the several Return to Void monster lords earlier, or even that afternoon when she told him bluntly that she refused his proposal.
He hadn’t seemed overly angry, rather calm instead.
Moreover, if he had truly made up his mind to choose Tao Yaoyao, then he wouldn’t have left her here but would have helped Tao Yaoyao to devour her.@@novelbin@@
“If it’s neither danger nor abandonment, then where could they have gone?”
As Tao Tiantian brooded with furrowed brows.
Outside the cave, the snowy night seemed endless.
The once pale and vast silvery landscape was now shrouded in night; among the trees as thick as arms,
a slender girl with fox ears and bright, amiable eyes led Xu Yuan there.
“Yaoyao, is this far enough?”
Xu Yuan looked back uneasily. The glow of fire from the distant cave was now as faint as a dying ember.
He knew Tao Yaoyao was cautious because she feared the others would overhear, but wasn’t this being overly cautious?
This distance, though negligible for a Nascent Soul cultivator, was ultimately not favorable.
Xu Yuan wouldn’t drop his guard just because Lin Qingque had been quiet these past few days.
What if she were to suddenly fly into a rage and attack Tao Tiantian? What then?
And even if she didn’t engage, walking too far came with its own troubles.
If their combined aura attracted the Spirit of the Secret Realm, that would be troublesome as well.
“…”
Tao Yaoyao stopped, turned around, and looked at him with a deep and distant gaze.
Her eyes, reflecting the moonlight, seemed frosty, and emitted an inescapable chill.
“Is something the matter?”
Xu Yuan was taken aback, observing her clearly troubled demeanor and asked.
“Oh, are you still thinking about me sending you away this afternoon?”
Xu Yuan suddenly comprehended, assuming she was still upset over that incident.
“You couldn’t possibly think I chose her, and you’re angry about it, right?”
He said with a smile as he pinched her cheeks.
“Isn’t it so?”
Tao Yaoyao asked, slightly shocked.
“Of course not.”
Xu Yuan ruffled the hair of his favorite character from the game, speaking with a smile.
“I could never be that kind of person.”
“Then why, why didn’t you kill her? Why did you ask me to carry her?”
Tao Yaoyao pouted, blinked her clear yet somewhat naive eyes, and asked adorably.
