It's important to know that Tang San isn't the only expert in poisons on this continent. Perhaps due to his experiences in another life, Tang San's understanding of poisons surpasses that of the Dugu family. However, before Tang San, Dugu Bo was the strongest poison user on the continent, easily subduing an unsuspecting kitten.
In Dugu Yan's mind, a man like Ning Bei would always have various women around him. Rather than ending up with women he didn't get along with, she preferred to choose her own suitable girlfriends. She greatly admired Zhu Zhuqing's personality; she was open about her likes and dislikes and had few hidden agendas.
Something clearly happened between the two during their trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, otherwise the kitten wouldn't have remained silent about the soul-hunting experience after returning. It was a real hunt of a 100,000-year-old soul beast; if it were Little Rabbit or Ning Rongrong, they would have talked about it for ten days or half a month without stopping.
She could clearly see that Zhu Zhuqing harbored feelings for her man, but perhaps because of her presence, she hadn't dared to express them. Today, she saw an opportunity to help the little kitten.
Opening her own room, Dugu Yan carried the kitten to the bedside and gently placed it on the soft mattress. Seeing the kitten's embarrassed and annoyed expression, she found it amusing, and the slight bitterness in her heart was replaced by a mischievous amusement.
"You just wait here for Abe to come back. Your room is mine now. Remember to call me 'sister' tomorrow, okay?"
The kitten's face was almost dripping red, and it struggled within its limits, seemingly quite dissatisfied with Dugu Yan's arrangement. Its lips opened and closed, but no sound came out. Dugu Yan, who
had just picked up the key to the opposite room and was about to leave, glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who was wrapped in a tight leather jacket, and her gaze shifted slightly, as if she had thought of something.
"By the way, Abe might not do anything when he comes back and sees you, so it seems I have to do something."
As Dugu Yan's wicked hand reached out, the kitten's beautiful eyes widened, and her body trembled even more noticeably. She could only watch helplessly as her leather jacket betrayed her, and finally, she could only shyly close her eyes.
"Hmm, that's much better. Come on, turn around and face inwards."
After positioning the snow-white kitten with her back to the door and her sideways, Dugu Yan took out her usual perfume from her soul tool and sprayed it on her. The sudden coolness brought a tempting blush to her snow-white skin.
After doing all this, Dugu Yan put away the perfume and nodded in satisfaction. She patted the kitten's pert buttocks before turning and walking out of the room. Before leaving, she didn't forget to extinguish all the candles in the room, plunging the entire room into darkness.
"I'm leaving. Anyway, you liked it, so you can't blame your sister."
With the sound of the door closing, the kitten slowly opened its eyes in the darkness, its gaze filled with panic, apprehension, and even a hint of inexplicable anticipation.
Having bought the sea urchin his woman had specifically requested, Ning Bei leisurely returned to the hotel. Following the numbers he remembered, he found Dugu Yan's room and gently knocked on the door.
But to his surprise, after several knocks, there was no response from inside.
"What's going on? Didn't you want it? Is she asleep already?"
Although it was somewhat unethical, he was completely baffled and could only use his spiritual power to investigate the room. After all, it was his woman, so it wasn't entirely immoral.
When he discovered that only the woman was lying on her side in the room, he immediately understood.
"Are you worried that Zhu Qing will feel awkward seeing us go into the room together? Honestly, we're an old married couple!"
Although he didn't have a key, this was no problem for him. He pressed his index finger on the keyhole, and a burst of cold air quickly condensed the air into the shape of the keyhole. He gently turned the key, and the door opened with a click, then closed again.
Anyway, his woman didn't seem to really want to eat sea urchin, so he casually placed it on the table and quietly walked towards the bed.
Whether it was his imagination or not, Ning Bei felt the woman in front of him was trembling, as if she were afraid of something.
He shook his head to dispel this absurd thought. His woman was often more proactive than him these days, how could she be afraid?
Skillfully removing his clothes, Ning Bei slipped into her back and pulled her into his arms.
"Honestly, you can't be satisfied without playing a trick on me, can you? Take this."
Frustrated, Ning Bei slapped her firm curves, the sound extremely crisp, but for some reason, he could clearly feel the body in his arms trembling.
Without much thought, he just wanted to release the longing he had felt for her after a year apart. He turned her over and started to get down to business. The familiar scent made him completely unaware of anything.
But before he could even get started, Ning Bei sensed something was wrong. His woman's figure was indeed nice, but it shouldn't be this exaggerated. Thinking of this, he tensed up, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead—something a strong person of his level shouldn't have. Upon reflection, he realized he hadn't heard Yan Zi make a sound since then.
For some reason, he immediately thought of the figure who should be in the opposite room, and tentatively asked,
"Eh... Zhu... Zhu Qing?"
The only response was an even more violent tremor and complete silence. Helpless, Ning Bei had no choice but to relight the candle. The next moment, her heart finally settled, and she extinguished the candle again. A silent struggle slowly unfolded.
As dawn broke, Dugu Yan, after a good night's sleep, came to the hall to enjoy breakfast. To her surprise, someone was already up earlier than her, and it was two people who had clearly gone to bed later.
Seeing Dugu Yan appear, the kitten's face, which had just regained its normal color, immediately turned bright red again. She lowered her head and kept stuffing food into her mouth, as if she hadn't noticed Dugu Yan's arrival.
This adorable sight made Dugu Yan smile, then she looked away. Her man was still shamelessly raising an eyebrow at her, his hands still busy eating. The kitten was much cuter.
Sitting down beside the two, Dugu Yan immediately teased Zhu Zhuqing with a mischievous grin:
"Tsk tsk tsk, that medicine shouldn't have been working for this long, right? Can't you talk? Let me show you?"
"Ugh!"
The kitten almost choked on her words, glaring fiercely at Dugu Yan, but her fierce expression quickly softened under Dugu Yan's amused smile, and she went back to being a quiet little turtle.
"Hahahaha! Ugh."
Less than a second after letting out a silvery laugh, Dugu Yan found her cheek being pulled aside by Ning Bei.
"Still laughing? Tell me, why are you doing this?"
"Hmph, you're talking to me? Don't you know what you did in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Slapping away the mischievous hand, Dugu Yan rubbed her cheek in dissatisfaction.
"Uh..."
Now it was Ning Bei's turn to feel awkward. She glanced at the kitten, who was still engrossed in eating, but in her mind, the kitten didn't seem like the type to share such things.
