"Truly worthy of being called Xu Tianran, ruthless and domineering, it's a pity her luck is bad~"
Bai Zhou sat in his room, cracking sunflower seeds, listening to Xu Tianran and Ju Zi's conversation.
After all, he had left a mental imprint on Ju Zi, so he could monitor her every move whenever he wanted.
Of course, Bai Zhou didn't have any voyeuristic tendencies. He only started listening after he noticed that Ju Zi was in the palace.
Of course, it's also a way to protect the oranges.
If something happens to Ju Zi, his spiritual imprint on Ju Zi will instantly activate, protecting Ju Zi for a moment.
At his fastest speed, it would only take him a few breaths to get from here to the palace, which would be enough to ensure Orange's safety.
Fortunately, Xu Tianran didn't notice anything unusual, which relieved Bai Zhou.
After all, he doesn't intend to kill Xu Tianran and the Third Prince yet.
The one-month deadline hasn't arrived yet, so he needs to prepare properly. He can also use this time to improve his strength and draw out some trump cards to ensure that no unexpected events occur.
...
It was well past midnight.
Bai Zhou heard the door open and immediately knew that Dao was Ju Zi returning.
Bai Zhou got up, opened the door, and looked at Ju Zi.
"Ah... Xiao Bai, you're still awake?" Orange felt inexplicably guilty when she saw Bai Zhou.
After all, he had dinner with Xu Tianran tonight, and she hadn't told Bai Zhou.
Although it was just a simple meal, and she didn't let Xu Tianran run into her, she still felt very guilty in front of Bai Zhou, feeling somewhat sorry for him.
"Sister Ju Zi, where did you go tonight? And why were you drinking?" Bai Zhou walked over, gently put his arm around Ju Zi's slender waist, and asked Dao with concern.
Orange smelled of alcohol, her cheeks were flushed, and she was walking unsteadily, clearly having drunk quite a bit.
Moreover, unlike ordinary alcohol, Bai Zhou could sense that the alcohol Ju Zi was drinking seemed to be a special kind of liquor that could be absorbed into spirit power and was not easily excreted.
Because the powerful Spirit Master itself has the ability to automatically sober up, even without actively neutralizing the effects of alcohol, you would need to drink a lot of alcohol to recover.
So someone invented this that allows high Rank The Spirit Master felt intoxicated by the wine.
This wine is extremely rare and expensive, costing tens of thousands of times more than ordinary wine. Moreover, its production is very low, making it unaffordable for most people; only the super-nobles would buy it.
This wine can also be described as an alternative Heaven and Earth Treasure, which is why Bai Zhou's Wishing Tree cannot make it.
"No, I just...had a meal with some friends..."
Orange lowered her head and stammered, " Dao. "
She still hasn't told Bai Zhou about her relationship with the Crown Prince.
Her main concern was that if she revealed these things, Bai Zhou would mind her identity, become suspicious of her, and even abandon her.
Orange really didn't want to lie to Bai Zhou, but she didn't want to break up with him even more.
After lying, Orange felt even more guilty and felt a deep sense of remorse towards Bai Zhou.
"This wine you drank is unusual. Go back and rest first, I'll help you sober up." Bai Zhou naturally knew Dao Ju Zi's worries, so he simply didn't point it out and pretended not to know.
Bai Zhou helped Ju Zi back to her room, then transferred his pure spirit power into Ju Zi's body to help her speed up the process of sobering up.
This kind of wine is just a bit harder to digest; it's not that it can't be digested with spirit power.
"Hey, what are you doing..."
As soon as Bai Zhou made his move, he discovered that Ju Zi had already hooked her arms around his neck.
The two of them fell onto the soft bed together.
"Of course we'll sleep together! What's the point of sobering up? A good night's sleep will make it all go away..."
Orange buried her head in Bai Zhou's arms, a happy smile on her lips, feeling inexplicably comfortable and peaceful.
Being around Xu Tianran required her to remain highly vigilant at all times, even to the point of being extremely cautious, for fear of saying or doing something wrong.
With Bai Zhou by her side, she didn't need to pretend and could be completely herself. She could do whatever she wanted, and whatever she wanted to eat, Bai Zhou would make it for her, showing her unparalleled tolerance and pampering.
This is the kind of life she wants.
"It's putting me in a difficult position if you sleep with me like this..." Bai Zhou twitched the corners of his mouth, somewhat helplessly.
Ju Zi, that old fox, was incredibly cunning; before Bai Zhou knew it, the hem of her skirt had slipped down to her waist, making it difficult for her to control herself...
"What's so difficult about it? Do whatever you want, I don't mind~" Orange chuckled.
Perhaps because she had drunk too much, her beautiful eyes held an unusual charm as she looked at Bai Zhou.
Bai Zhou: "..."
Oranges are already captivatingly beautiful, but with her slightly flushed cheeks after drinking, and that charming look in her eyes...
Who can withstand this?
Bai Zhou pressed his lips directly against the orange's luscious red lips.
"Hmm..."
Orange paused for a moment, blinked her big eyes, and seemed to have regained some clarity. The blush on her cheeks became even more radiant.
If it were just a kiss, Orange wouldn't think much of it.
However, this time, she saw a different look in Bai Zhou's eyes, like a wolf that had been starving for a month, radiating a predatory glint...
"Hmm..."
Orange felt a pang in her heart and instinctively tried to push Bai Zhou away, but it was too late.
"Sizzle—"
Blue Silver Grass appeared, directly helping Bai Zhou and Orange remove their armor.
In the blink of an eye, we were completely honest with each other.
Of course, the stockings were kept, but with a small opening.
"Ugh...you scoundrel Xiao Bai, you can't take advantage of someone in distress..." At this point, Ju Zi was perfectly aware of Dao's... Bai Zhou struggled violently, trying to figure out what was going on.
Unfortunately, because of the alcohol, Orange was limp and couldn't exert much strength.
"No way, Sister Ju Zi clearly offered herself up~" Bai Zhou whispered in Ju Zi's ear, chuckling.
At first, Orange resisted slightly, blocking with both hands.
But after Bai Zhou's continued attempts, she quickly gave up...
"Fine... fine... you got off easy, you bad guy..."
Finally, it seemed that Ju Zi understood Bai Zhou's determination, or perhaps she had completely accepted Bai Zhou and given up all resistance.
After all, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
Although she always told Bai Zhou that she wasn't ready, in reality, she had long planned to give herself to Bai Zhou...
Bai Zhou, however, remained very restrained, so naturally she wouldn't bring it up herself...
Sister Ju Zi, I love you~
Bai Zhou leaned down and gently kissed the tip of the orange's nose.
"Yes, I love you too...!!!"
...
...
An hour later.
The oranges tasted great.
Two hours later.
Orange sensed something was wrong.
Three hours later.
Orange felt a strange pang of regret...
Damn... that was too hasty...
...
Bai Zhou, however, was filled with emotion at this moment.
All that hard work to build up goodwill has finally paid off.
Of course, the most important reason is probably because Orange went to Xu Tianran's place tonight, had dinner, and drank some alcohol.
"Thanks to Xu Tianran for the assist. In return, I'll make sure you die knowing why," Bai Zhou thought to himself.
