Chapter 73: Bibi Dong's Change
Recalling what Gu Yuena had said earlier, Bibi Dong's heart was in turmoil.
If Aotian truly liked that woman, should she agree to it or not?
Bibi Dong had no answer in her heart.
But the one thing she was certain of was that she absolutely had to be the first one to have Aotian.
At this thought, her heart beat faster, and her body gradually grew hot. Her delicate, pink skin actually began to emit a faint fragrance.
Certain scenes were already playing out in her mind, her eyes becoming hazy... Aotian hadn't even come out yet, but she had already gotten into the mood.
Inside the bathroom, Aotian stood there. His muscles weren't the explosive type, but rather sleek and streamlined, creating an extremely pleasing visual. Within those subtly defined muscles lay a world-destroying power.
With a thought, the clear water in the bathtub flew up and began to swirl around his body, slowly forming a water tornado.
The water tornado spun faster and faster, washing his body. He didn't need to scrub himself by hand when he bathed.
A few minutes later, his body suddenly erupted with a scorching aura, and the water tornado revolving around him was instantly vaporized.
Aotian walked out eagerly. From behind him, one of Bibi Dong's bathrobes automatically flew over and wrapped itself around him.
He strode out and, with a single glance, saw the enchantress lying there.
Aotian pounced directly in front of Bibi Dong, ready to devour this enchantress with bared fangs and claws, but she reached out a hand to press against his chest.
"What's wrong?" Aotian asked, puzzled.
They had already reached this point; what kind of trick was Bibi Dong trying to pull now?
Bibi Dong sat up and said, "Didn't you want to know what happened between Gu Yuena and me just now?"
"What happened?" Aotian asked, sitting up straight as well.
"She told me she likes you and asked me to share you with her," Bibi Dong said, staring intently at Aotian.
Aotian was stunned. He hadn't expected Gu Yuena to be so direct, to just tell Bibi Dong her thoughts right away.
How long had they even known each other?
Seeing the silent Aotian, Bibi Dong asked, "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
"Uh... actually, I was hoping the two of you could become good friends," Aotian said.
"Wait for me to become good friends with her, and then have me accept her, right?"
Aotian could only nod. He didn't want to lie to Bibi Dong.
"I knew it," Bibi Dong said. "You really have fallen for another woman."
The fire of desire in Aotian's body gradually extinguished. He said, "She likes me; that's something I can't stop. But I never gave her any promises, because I have to respect your choice."
Bibi Dong was a little moved. She asked, "Then what if I don't agree? Will you drive her away?"
Aotian shook his head. "No, because I've already promised to let her follow me. If you don't agree, she won't get anywhere by staying at my side. After a while, her feelings for me might just fade away."
"You fool. You still underestimate a woman's determination," Bibi Dong said.
Aotian felt helpless. What else could he do? He had promised to help the Soul Beast Clan, so he couldn't just avoid Gu Yuena forever, could he?
Being questioned by Bibi Dong like this, Aotian's interest completely vanished. He stood up and said, "I'm going outside for some fresh air."
Bibi Dong grabbed Aotian's wrist, pulling him back. Her five fingers formed a claw and shot out like lightning.
"You've come into my chambers... and you still think you can leave?" Bibi Dong's voice was filled with seduction.
Aotian: "Hiss..."
...
...
In Gu Yuena and Xiao Wu's room, Xiao Wu was sound asleep, hugging a soft pillow.
Gu Yuena quietly got up and sat silently at the desk for a long time.
A look of conflict flickered across her beautiful face, which gradually turned into resolve. Then, she took out a pen and paper and began to write.
"Aotian, by the time you see this letter, I will already be gone. You may have learned from Bibi Dong what I said to her tonight. I made her unhappy, and for that, I am very sorry. Since she cannot accept me, there is no longer any meaning for me to stay here; it will only cause unpleasantness for everyone. Therefore, I have chosen to leave. I will return to the Star Dou Great Forest and focus on my cultivation. I will not disappoint you. I'll leave Xiao Wu in your care. Please show her a good time in Wuhun City..."
After she finished writing, Gu Yuena let out a long sigh, glanced at the sleeping Xiao Wu, and then quietly rose to leave.
After exiting the door, she looked in the direction of Bibi Dong's residence. Her ears twitched, as if she had heard some kind of sound.
Pausing for a moment, she made her way toward the entrance of the Pope's Palace, her lonely figure gradually disappearing into the darkness of the night...
...
An unknown amount of time passed. Bibi Dong said weakly, "Let me rest for a bit."
Aotian gently held her in his arms as Life Aura gathered in his hand and flowed into Bibi Dong's body, alleviating her fatigue.
"Aotian, I've thought it through," Bibi Dong said.
Her entire face was flushed red, as if she were drunk.
"Thought what through?" Aotian asked casually, his expression dazed as if he were still immersed in a certain state.
"I'm willing to accept Gu Yuena, and even... that Xiao Wu," Bibi Dong said.
Aotian instantly sobered up, looking at the enchantress in his arms in astonishment. "Say that again."
Bibi Dong revealed a smile and said in an exasperated tone, "I said... I am willing to accept Gu Yuena and Xiao Wu."
Aotian was stunned. He never expected that after one night together, Bibi Dong would agree to this.
Not only did she agree, but she even added Xiao Wu to the list.
As for that girl Xiao Wu, he had always doted on her. He couldn't quite tell if his love for Xiao Wu was that of a brother or the other kind of love.
Aotian tightened his hold on Bibi Dong, lowered his head, and planted a kiss on her sweat-beaded forehead. He asked tenderly, "Why did you suddenly say that?"
"Because you like her. And you know how to consider my feelings, so I can't bear to disappoint you. Besides, they are both very outstanding and worthy of you. There's one more thing... you're too strong," Bibi Dong suddenly became shy.
"Strong? What does my being strong have to do with anything?" Aotian asked blankly.
Bibi Dong shot Aotian a fierce glare and pushed him forcefully. "I'm very tired. You should go find her."
Only then did Aotian realize what Bibi Dong meant by "strong." A smug smile immediately spread across his face. "Don't you like it?"
Bibi Dong said, "I like it, but you... this dragon is too powerful."
Aotian said, "It's already very late. I'll tell her the good news tomorrow. You should rest for a bit. If you still want to..."
"Do you think I'm a dragon, too?" Bibi Dong shot Aotian an annoyed glance.
Aotian chuckled, "Feel it for yourself. Hasn't a lot of your stamina recovered?"
Bibi Dong focused and felt that her body, which had been weak and powerless just a moment ago, had indeed recovered a great deal.
"Then... let me rest for another moment, and in a little while..." she said in a whisper.
...
The soundly sleeping Xiao Wu suddenly rolled over with her pillow out of habit, and with a thud, she crashed onto the floor...
