Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 593 Bathing Together, Bibi Dong's Worries

The hall where the bath was located was spacious and luxurious, with the floor paved with warm jade, and the air was filled with a faint mist and a calming, sleep-inducing aroma.

The pool water is drawn from underground hot springs, and the water temperature remains at the most suitable temperature for the human body year-round, with steam rising from the pool.

Dai Chengfeng carried Bibi Dong and stepped into the pool, where the warm spring water instantly enveloped them.

"Um……"

Surrounded by the warm spring water, dispelling the slight coolness and stickiness on her skin, Bibi Dong couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh, her body curled up in Dai Chengfeng's arms, relaxing even more.

Dai Chengfeng had her lean against him and sit on the jade steps by the pool, letting the hot spring water wash over her rounded shoulders.

He took a soft bath towel prepared on the jade table by the pool, soaked it in water, and gently wiped her smooth back, brushing away the remaining flower oil and sweat stains.

Bibi Dong, meanwhile, leaned lazily against Dai Chengfeng's strong and broad chest, her eyes closed, enjoying this rare tranquility and service.

Dai Chengfeng's hands gently moved across her arms and waist, helping her wash.

At first, the cleaning was purely a caring gesture, but gradually, amidst the misty steam and the increasingly smooth and alluring touch under the fingertips, that care subtly took on a more tender and affectionate meaning.

Bibi Dong's body tensed slightly, and she let out a nasal sound that was both a protest and an invitation:

"Stop fooling around... I'm tired."

Dai Chengfeng chuckled softly, his breath brushing against the back of her ear, moist with moisture.
"I was just helping my teacher clean up, how could you say I'm making a fuss?"

Even so, his restless hands restrained themselves somewhat, but still wrapped around her waist, holding her even tighter in his arms, so that their backs and chests were pressed closely together.

After the cleaning was finished, Dai Chengfeng did not immediately carry her away.

He leaned against the edge of the pool, letting Bibi Dong comfortably lie in his arms. The two of them quietly soaked in the hot spring, enjoying the tranquility and tenderness.

The water rippled gently, reflecting the soft glow of the luminous pearls embedded in the roof, creating a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere.

Dai Chengfeng would occasionally lower his head and gently kiss the top of her head, her earlobes, or rub his chin against her smooth shoulders.

Bibi Dong seemed to enjoy this intimate embrace, like a satisfied cat lazily resting in his territory.

After a long while, feeling that Bibi Dong had regained some strength, Dai Chengfeng wrapped her in a large, soft, and dry towel that he had prepared beforehand, picked her up horizontally, and walked out of the bath.

He carefully wiped the water droplets off her body, then took another silky nightgown and dressed her in it, tying the sash.

Throughout the entire process, Bibi Dong remained unusually docile, allowing him to do as he pleased; only her once clear purple eyes remained...

After the misty vapor dissipated, a subtle, complex emotion seemed to flicker deep in his eyes.

Dai Chengfeng casually put on a bathrobe, then picked her up again and carried her to the inner chamber of the bedchamber.

The huge bed was soft and comfortable. He gently placed her in the center of the bed, then lay down himself, naturally reaching out his arm to embrace Bibi Dong's warm and soft body from behind.

His chest pressed against her back, his chin gently resting on the top of her head.

Only a dim wall lamp remained in the bedroom, its soft light not disturbing sleep, yet still able to outline the graceful silhouette of the person in his arms.

Neither of them spoke.

Dai Chengfeng gently placed his palm on Bibi Dong's flat abdomen, stroking it lightly and intermittently, feeling the delicate warmth of her skin beneath his palm.

However, Dai Chengfeng gradually realized that the delicate body in his arms was not as completely relaxed as he had imagined.

Although Bibi Dong's breathing was steady, a closer look revealed a subtle, almost imperceptible, stagnation.

Instead of falling asleep quickly as she usually did after extreme exhaustion, she felt a slight tension in her body. "Teacher?"

Dai Chengfeng called out in a low voice, tightening his grip slightly, "Still thinking about what just happened?"

Bibi Dong gently shook her head, her hair brushing against Dai Chengfeng's chin, causing a slight itch.

She remained silent for a moment, and just when Dai Chengfeng thought she wouldn't answer, he heard her voice, tinged with confusion and worry, softly ring out, sounding exceptionally clear in the quiet night:
"Chengfeng... tell me, why did Xue... Qianrenxue... suddenly come back?"

Dai Chengfeng was slightly taken aback, not expecting that what she was thinking about at this moment was Qian Renxue.

Bibi Dong continued to whisper, as if asking Dai Chengfeng, or perhaps talking to herself:

"She has been infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire for many years, and her plan has reached its most critical moment. Unless there is a major change, she will not easily return to Wuhun City."

"Could it be... that something unexpected happened in Heaven Dou City? Is she... in danger?"

There was a hint of anxiety in her voice that she herself might not have realized.

Despite the long-standing estrangement and resentment in their mother-daughter relationship, the deep-seated concern they shared at this moment still involuntarily surfaced.

Upon hearing this, Dai Chengfeng recalled the original plot regarding Qian Renxue's return to the Spirit Hall.

In his memory, Qian Renxue's disguise in the Heaven Dou Empire was perfect, and "Xue Qinghe's" position was as stable as Mount Tai.

Thinking of this, Dai Chengfeng tightened his arms around Bibi Dong, pressing her back more closely against his chest.

He lowered his head, his lips close to her earlobe, and gently comforted her in a deep, convincing voice:

"Teacher, you're overthinking it."

He felt the body in his arms move slightly, as if it was listening intently to what he was saying.

"As far as I know, Qian Renxue's plans in the Heaven Dou Empire are progressing very smoothly. Her position as Crown Prince 'Xue Qinghe' is secure, and she enjoys the deep trust of the Heaven Dou Emperor. I have not heard any rumors in Heaven Dou City that are detrimental to her."

"Moreover, with the Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo around, if they really encountered an insurmountable danger, they would never have returned to Spirit City so calmly."

"Since she was able to return safely and didn't seem to be in a hurry, it's likely that everything in Tiandou City is still under control."

He paused, sensing that Bibi Dong's breathing seemed to have become smoother, and continued to guess in a tone of understanding and ease:

"In my opinion, Qian Renxue's sudden return this time may not necessarily mean that something is wrong."

"Perhaps, he's just tired of lying low for so long, or... he misses the Grand Master."

"After all, she was raised by her grandfather since she was a child. It's only natural for her to come back and visit him occasionally when she misses him."

Upon hearing Dai Chengfeng's analysis, especially the last speculation that Qian Renxue returned because she missed Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong's tense body visibly relaxed.

She let out a soft sigh of relief, as if a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

"Is that so...she just misses her grandfather..."

Bibi Dong murmured softly.

"Yes, so you can rest assured, teacher."

Dai Chengfeng patted her lower abdomen gently to comfort her, "Qian Renxue is very lucky and has outstanding abilities. She will be fine."
