Female lead: No, it's me again??

A low chuckle rang in her ear, "Fine, I'm a scoundrel, Ah Li, do you want to eat the beauty branch?"

The little girl tilted her chin up slightly, "I don't want to peel it."

Hongyue lightly tapped the tip of her nose and chuckled.

"You, I'll do it."

Just those four words alone reveal how much the man indulges her.

Hongyue fed the peeled hibiscus branches to Xuanli's mouth, but Xuanli was too lazy to take them and just ate them one after another like a little hamster.

Hongyue couldn't bear to blink just looking at her.

The more Xuan Li ate, the more delicious the beauty branch seemed. She glanced at the fruit hanging on the tree, feeling a little reluctant to leave.

I wish I could take it with me.

The girl's gaze was so blatant that Hongyue knew what she was thinking with just one glance. "Taking her away is impossible, but Ali can come anytime."

What if we take her away and she doesn't come back next time?

"Come anytime?"

Xuan Li's eyes brightened slightly.

The man patiently explained, "Yes, the ring on your hand is the only child ring in Lingmeng Star Sea, so you can naturally come in."

"When the time comes, you can take as much as you want to eat, right?"

Xuan Li's eyes lit up even more. "That's great! Does that mean I can return here anytime after entering the Sword Saint's Secret Realm?"

The man said helplessly, "You still want to go? It's dangerous there."

He wouldn't feel comfortable letting her go into places he couldn't go into himself.

The little girl pouted, "Feng Siyue went too."

"Besides, if you go back, wouldn't it be more dangerous for me to be out there alone?"

“I can arrange for you to stay with the Bai family.”

Xuan Li pretended to be reluctant, "It's fine, anyway, I think the young master of the Bai family is quite cute, it's okay to go and have some fun."

The young master of the Bai family?

cute?

Hongyue laughed and pinched Xuanli's cheek. "You've grown bold, haven't you? You've learned to threaten me now?"

Do you believe I'll lock you up here and never let you out?

The little girl turned her head away and said stubbornly, "I don't care! If you don't let me out, I'll cry! I'll cry every day! I'll cry myself blind, and then I'll go on a hunger strike!"

In Tianshan, what Xuanzu dared not face the most was her tears, and this trick was 100% effective!

But that last sentence... something seems off about this man.

Hongyue was charmed by Ali's cuteness and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face. "Okay, okay, I really can't do anything with you. Let me think about it."

Xuan Liyan smiled smugly and leaned against the man's chest, "You said it, you can't go back on your word."

Suddenly, the man's large hand reached out from the right and gently grabbed the girl's neck, pulling her backward from the front.

The woman's back was pressed tightly against his chest, leaving no gap between them.

Xuan Li: "…………"

Grab his neck?

What is this hobby?

Why do I have this constant feeling of danger?

Her slender neck seemed so small that it could be encircled in one hand. This realization kept creeping into Hongyue's mind, slowly exciting him.

His lips brushed against Xuan Li's ear as he whispered, "Then Ah Li has to tell me first, who have you ever acted coquettishly towards?"

So skilled.

This realization made him feel irritated.

The only person she can be affectionate with is him.

The man's voice was deep and alluring, yet also eerily enchanting, like a red spider lily blooming at night.

Xuan Li inexplicably received a dangerous signal. Her heart skipped a beat, and she swallowed back what she was about to say, instead saying,

"My...my brother~"

Then, she raised her voice slightly, "You have no idea, but this trick always works when I ask him for something and he refuses!"

The little girl spoke very quickly, as if she were explaining something, or perhaps she was feeling guilty.

"Your brother?"

Hongyue's voice was very soft.

The little girl, with a strong will to survive, nodded vigorously.

"Yes, yes!"

Hongyue's hand, which had been making a pinching motion, moved to the little girl's left cheek and casually stroked it, his expression nonchalant, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Xuan Li swallowed silently.

A few moments later, the man chuckled, "If he won't give it to you, I will. We won't go after him."

Xuan Li mustered his courage, raised his head, and pressed his advantage, "Then I want to go to the Sword Saint's Secret Realm."

Red Moon: "..."

He raised an eyebrow. "Waiting for me here?"

The little girl stuck out her tongue. "Anyway, I don't care, I'm going."

Red Moon sighed and moved away from her ear.

"Then tell me honestly, where is Feng Siyue's cultivation level? Don't tell me it's the fifth level of Great Spirit Master, I won't believe it."

She possesses a magical artifact that conceals her cultivation level.

Seeing that he seemed to be relenting, Xuan Li felt a little relieved and honestly replied, "I'm at the eighth level of the Spirit King realm, almost at the ninth level."

What can you do if someone is dishonest?

The hand that was on her neck was right there; would she dare to lie?

This man has a very strong desire for control.

Eighth level?

It happened faster than he had anticipated.

His cultivation level must have increased significantly after contracting that divine beast.

"That divine beast might help you get what you want in the secret realm, but the divine artifact..."

Hongyue nuzzled her chin against her hair. "You all should stay out of this."

too dangerous.

Xuan Li froze. "I don't know what you're talking about..."

The little girl was screaming inside.

No, how did he know that Feng Siyue had contracted a divine beast?!

Are they going to rob us?

She needs to inform Feng Siyue immediately!

Hongyue chuckled softly, intending to scare her, "Ali, I've said there's nothing Chaoyang Holy Palace doesn't know. Feng Siyue's contract with a divine beast isn't a top secret in Chaoyang Holy Palace."

For example, him, for example...

Xuan Li smirked. "Heh."

Her eyes darted around aimlessly, and she leaned forward as if she wanted to get up and run away.

Hongyue grabbed the girl, who was trying to escape, and pulled her back into her arms with one hand around her waist, her tone carrying a hint of danger.

"Ah Li, where do you want to go?"

"I... am thirsty, hehe."

Xuan Li nervously rubbed her fingers, thinking about how to escape without being caught by the man.

Hongyue picked up a branch of a beauty tree with her right hand and began peeling it with one hand. "Eat a beauty tree branch when you're thirsty."

While she was still thinking about how to escape, she accidentally saw this scene, and her eyes widened in surprise as she peeled the stem of the bougainvillea with one hand.

How did you do it?

The man's long, slender, fair fingers held the beauty branch firmly with his three fingers, while his thumb and forefinger worked together to peel off the skin.

The lower three fingers also rotate from time to time in coordination.

Xuan Li: "???"

She glanced at the other person's hand, then at her own right hand.

Aren't they all hands?

The little girl's attention was thus diverted.

Xuan Li's right hand, which was held in front of her, was suddenly grabbed by something. She looked down and saw a man's hand around her waist, interlocking with her index finger.
