Listening to the faint sounds of water from Zhu Zhuqing's bath, Xiao Tian's heart couldn't help but waver; his Dao heart seemed to become less stable.
At this moment, he faced two difficult choices: either be a beast or be worse than a beast.
Xiao Tian actually wanted to choose to be a beast deep down, however, he also clearly knew that the relationship between him and Zhuqing had not yet developed to that extent.
So, he decisively chose to block his hearing, closed his eyes, and silently recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, trying to restore his mind to peace.
Behind the screen, Zhuqing's face was so red it looked like it could drip blood.
Her heart was beating extremely fast, and a hint of anticipation subtly appeared in her eyes.
She looked down at her proud figure, which was so ample it made her float on the water.
She couldn't help but secretly wonder if Xiao Tian would come to peek.
She knew in her heart that the screen could at most block visual impact, but for Xiao Tian, who had strong mental force, it could be seen as nothing.
Even so, she still chose to use the screen to block herself.
But half an hour passed, and Zhuqing was almost done with her bath, yet she still hadn't seen any movement from Xiao Tian.
A sense of disappointment couldn't help but well up in her heart; was it really that her charm wasn't enough?
Xiao Tian: If I really acted like a beast, you wouldn't be happy then.
In this dilemma, women are indeed very difficult creatures to fathom.
If he really acted like a beast, although it might meet some of her expectations, something would still be missing in the end.
After all, if he really peeked, and it was the naked body of a woman with whom he had no confirmed relationship, it would definitely be inappropriate.
But if he chose to be worse than a beast, they would feel they lacked charm, not only feeling disappointed but also a bit jealous.
This is truly very strange.
A moment later, Zhuqing was dressed.
She used her spirit power to clean the clothes she had taken off with clear water, then quickly dried them, and put them back into her spirit tool.
Only then did she slowly emerge from behind the screen.
At this moment, Zhuqing's face still had some lingering blush, and her waist-length hair still had a few water droplets hanging from it.
She was not wearing her usual black tight-fitting clothes, but a light purple nightgown.
The nightgown's neckline subtly revealed some snowy white skin, but it was partially covered by hollowed-out lace, making it appear indistinct.
Her attire could be said to be very daring.
Since Zhuqing wanted to be more proactive, enticing him by working on herself was clearly a good choice.
Her eyes gazed deeply at Xiao Tian, who was sitting cross-legged with his back to her, and she walked slowly towards him, covering her chest with her hand.
This was her first time wearing such revealing clothes, and in front of Xiao Tian no less; it was impossible not to be nervous.
Moreover, she was also worried, what if they accidentally went too far?
Zhuqing herself didn't know how to deal with such a situation.
She only knew that doing this would definitely attract Xiao Tian's attention; she was very confident in her figure.
During that time, Xiao Tian didn't come to peek, and while she felt disappointed, she also felt he was a true gentleman, someone who would never peek if he said he wouldn't.
Before bathing, he even directly asked, 'Should I peek or not peek?' For others, this might seem very rude and direct.
But she just wanted to say, Xiao Tian is truly a blockhead!
Was her previous behavior not obvious enough?
Zhuqing came behind Xiao Tian, her originally deep gaze now carrying a hint of doubt.
Why was Xiao Tian still motionless? Could he have fallen asleep?
Otherwise, she had already walked behind him, so why hadn't Xiao Tian made any movement?
"Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian, I'm done?" Zhuqing tried calling softly a few times, but Xiao Tian still didn't move, his eyes tightly closed.
Zhuqing straightened her clothes and squatted down in front of Xiao Tian, looking at his calm face.
For a moment, she looked at his well-defined, handsome features, and was somewhat entranced.
Gradually, Zhuqing's eyes became a little hazy, and her body unconsciously leaned forward.
With a hint of haziness in her eyes, she whispered to Xiao Tian, "Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian, are you asleep?"
Zhuqing now had two little figures battling fiercely in her mind.
Angel Zhuqing: Zhuqing, you must be reserved, you've already been very proactive, you should wait for Xiao Tian to pursue you, that way you won't appear too cheap.
Demon Zhuqing: Cheap what? If two people like each other, isn't it the same no matter who pursues whom? Besides, Xiao Tian is not lacking in women around him; look at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling in the Sect, and even the younger Bai Chenxiang, they are all beauties.
If you don't take the initiative soon, you won't even get to drink the hot soup! Also, Xiao Tian is very busy right now; once his strength reaches the Spirit Saint realm, he will still need to travel for the grand plan between Spirit Master and Spirit Beast.
If you don't quickly secure a place in his heart now, what will you do when more beautiful women than you appear later? Do you remember Qian Renxue? Even you all would feel inferior to her beauty, right?
And Ah Yin, although she is Xiao Tian's Spirit Beast now, who knows if she will be your sister later.
Why are Da Ming and Er Ming willing to take human form, but Ah Yin is not?
Isn't it so she can stay by Xiao Tian's side forever?
No Spirit Beast that takes human form is unattractive.
There are also many fierce Spirit Beasts in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, and who knows, there might be even stronger female fierce Spirit Beasts interested in a human like Xiao Tian.
Coming from the Zhu family, you should understand, what is the simplest and most direct way for two forces to deepen their relationship? It's through marriage, making them even closer.
Who knows, some Spirit Beast might take a liking to Xiao Tian, and then the positions left for you will only become fewer and fewer!
Angel Zhuqing: Don't listen to this demon--
Soon, Zhuqing ultimately couldn't resist the demon's whispers in her mind and directly sent Angel Zhuqing flying out.
She stared blankly at Xiao Tian with his eyes closed, touched her soft lips with her hand, and felt a slight stir in her heart.
She wondered if secretly kissing him just once would go unnoticed?
Just as the distance between them was only one centimeter, Xiao Tian suddenly opened his eyes, and their gazes met for an instant.
A hint of panic instantly flashed across Zhuqing's face; she moved her lips, wanting to say something, but Xiao Tian also moved his lips at just the right moment, and their lips, by sheer coincidence, touched.
