Chapter 71: Gu Yuena's Directness
Hu Liena's eyes were hazy, her face flushed as if she were drunk.
Her captivating body was displayed before Aotian, and she approached him step by step.
Aotian watched this scene with a smile.
The beautiful body before him was indeed captivating. Coupled with the seductive aura Hu Liena exuded and her provocative movements, it was enough to make most men's blood boil and their primal instincts surge.
But Aotian knew that all of this was fake; it was merely an illusion created by Hu Liena. The one walking towards him was not Hu Liena herself.
"Shatter!" Aotian softly uttered. Hu Liena, who had already reached him, her jade-like arms about to entwine around his body, suddenly shattered.
The red light in the room dissipated. Hu Liena's flushed face turned pale, and her aura became somewhat chaotic.
Her illusion-type spirit skill had been so violently broken that it caused her to suffer a slight backlash.
She inadvertently glanced at Aotian's crotch, feeling a pang of disappointment. Her strongest technique hadn't even caused Mr. Ao to show the slightest crack in his composure.
Aotian walked over to Hu Liena, lightly patted her shoulder, and transferred a trace of pure energy to her, restoring the rosiness to her complexion.
"Not bad, you've made great progress," Aotian praised.
Hu Liena said somewhat shyly, "Thank you for the praise, Mr. Ao. I will continue to work hard."
Aotian hummed in acknowledgment, then said, "But in the future, don't use your body to tempt others in an illusion. Even though it's not real, you are the one who loses out in the end."
He knew that the phantoms created by Hu Liena's spirit skill could be other women; there was no need for her to use her own image to tempt others.
Hu Liena's cheeks burned. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Aotian, and her voice was as faint as a mosquito's hum. "Actually... when I deal with others, I rarely use my own image. Even if I do, I don't let them see the crucial parts. Today, facing Mr. Ao, I was afraid you wouldn't be satisfied with my progress, so I used my strongest charm, letting you... letting you see..."
"Alright, that's enough," Aotian said, thinking to himself that the Hu Liena in the book didn't seem this shy.
He gently stroked Hu Liena's soft hair and said warmly, "You're half my disciple. Using your own phantom to tempt me will always make me a little awkward. Don't do it again next time, understood?"
Being spoken to by Aotian like this, Hu Liena felt her entire body turn hot, yet she also inexplicably felt a sense of loss.
"I understand, Mr. Ao."
"Mm, you can go back first."
After Hu Liena left, Aotian lay down on the chair.
"They won't start fighting, will they?" Aotian thought to himself.
He wanted to use his divine sense to peek at what those two women were doing, but after a thought, he gave up.
He felt that he should trust those two women; this was also a display of his own confidence.
Even if they really did start fighting, he could instantly reach the battlefield.
Gu Yuena's current strength should be greater than Bibi Dong's, but the difference wasn't that significant.
Thinking of this, Aotian lay down peacefully...
...
By the lotus pond, the three of them stopped.
"Xiao Wu, you go for a walk somewhere else first. Bibi Dong and I have some things we want to discuss privately," Gu Yuena said.
"Oh," Xiao Wu responded.
Gu Yuena and Bibi Dong walked towards the small pavilion in the center of the lotus pond.
Xiao Wu's big eyes were full of curiosity. Her ears twitched, wanting to eavesdrop on what Gu Yuena and Bibi Dong would say.
Neither Gu Yuena nor Bibi Dong spoke until they entered the small pavilion. Gu Yuena glanced at Xiao Wu and casually set up a barrier, isolating the sound.
"How annoying," Xiao Wu stamped her foot, resigned to squatting by the lotus pond and playing with the vibrant lotus flowers.
Bibi Dong's powerful spiritual power sensed the barrier set up by Gu Yuena. She was somewhat astonished; even with her current strength, she couldn't casually set up a sound-isolating barrier like Gu Yuena.
"Gu Yuena, why did you ask me to come out?" Bibi Dong asked.
While they were eating earlier, Gu Yuena had used voice transmission to speak to Bibi Dong, which was why Bibi Dong had found an excuse to come out with her.
Bibi Dong was very curious: What was it that Gu Yuena couldn't say in front of Aotian?
At the same time, she felt a slight wariness, worried that Gu Yuena might genuinely intend her harm.
After all, one could know a person's face but not their heart, especially when it came to a soul beast. Although she and Gu Yuena felt some mutual appreciation, they had only known each other for half a day.
Gu Yuena looked at Bibi Dong, her eyes showing admiration. "Bibi Dong, you are very impressive and courageous. You dared to come out with me, even knowing you might be attacked."
Bibi Dong smiled. "I trust you. You are as proud as I am; when facing a respectable opponent, you wouldn't use such despicable methods. At the same time, I also trust Aotian and his judgment."
Gu Yuena suddenly sighed and said, "You are truly fortunate."
Bibi Dong's heart stirred. She looked at Gu Yuena thoughtfully and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Gu Yuena revealed a brilliant smile, making the vibrant lotus flowers in the entire pond seem to instantly lose their luster. She said, "Because I also like Aotian. Very much."
"As I thought," Bibi Dong mused. She chuckled softly and said, "Aotian is exceptionally outstanding. It's normal for you to like him. Does he know?"
Gu Yuena said, "He knows. It's just that he has always refused to accept me. I think he's rejecting me because of you."
Bibi Dong's expression turned cold, and her gaze bore into Gu Yuena as she asked, "Are you telling me these things today because you want me to leave Aotian? If that's the case, then there's no need for us to continue this conversation."
Gu Yuena shook her head. "No, I don't mean for you to leave Aotian."
Bibi Dong frowned. "Then what is your purpose in telling me all this?"
Gu Yuena said, "I like Aotian, and I don't mind him having other women. I'm being frank with you today because I hope you can accept me and let me become another one of Aotian's women."
Bibi Dong was stunned. After a long moment, she asked in surprise, "With your status and pride, how could you be willing to share a husband with other women?"
Gu Yuena said, "Our soul beast world isn't as complicated as your human world. Isn't it normal for powerful men to have multiple wives? Moreover, he is so outstanding; I think it would be hard for any woman to ignore his charm."
Bibi Dong glanced at Xiao Wu, who was playing with the lotus flowers by the shore, and said, "So, you're not the only one who likes him, are you? There's her too."
Gu Yuena nodded. "Yes, Xiao Wu also likes him."
"So, are you willing to accept me? And Xiao Wu?" she asked.
Bibi Dong scoffed. "Aotian and I have known each other for over twenty years. He is mine. I will never share him with other women!"
After speaking, she left Gu Yuena behind and walked directly out of the pavilion.
"What if he also likes me? Since you love him so much, don't you care about his feelings?" Gu Yuena called from behind.
Bibi Dong paused for a moment, said nothing, and continued walking, leaving the area.
Xiao Wu stood up, looking somewhat bewildered at the approaching Gu Yuena, and asked, "Sister Na'er, did you two argue?"
Gu Yuena nodded, sighing.
Xiao Wu said urgently, "Didn't I tell you to get along with her? You've only known her for such a short time, and you're already arguing."
"I couldn't hold it in," Gu Yuena said.
"..." Xiao Wu didn't know what to say.
She pulled Gu Yuena and ran back, saying, "Let's hurry back. It wouldn't be good if she complains to Aotian."
