The dimly lit small black room.
The faint scent of Bloody Mary still lingered in the room.
A beautiful young woman with golden hair coyly wrapped her arms around the handsome man sitting on the bed.
She whispered her confession softly.
Perhaps it was the side effect of the Bloody Mary, or perhaps the girl cared too much about Luo Yu.
She felt that everything in front of her was but a dream.
With courage, she expressed her true feelings, tenderly rubbing her cheek against the man's chest.
Observing the girl's cautious manner,
Luo Yu sighed inwardly.
He wrapped his arms around Hulena in return.
When she felt Luo Yu's body heat and realized the man took the initiative to embrace her,
Hulena's hazy consciousness gradually returned, her delicate body trembling.
Suddenly aware that this might not be a dream,
but that Brother Yu had really come.
She pursed her lips tightly, looking up at Luo Yu earnestly.
"Brother Yu, I like you," she said.
"Do you like me?"
Seeing that Luo Yu didn't immediately respond, Hulena sighed deeply.
"Nana is really silly," she said.
"Knowing it's a dream, yet still wishing to hear Luo Yu say he likes her."
Luo Yu brought his lips close to Hulena's ear.
"How could Brother Yu not like a good girl like you?"
Already tense, Hulena shook even more upon hearing Luo Yu's affirmative reply, tears of excitement welling in her eyes.
"Brother Yu, are you serious?" she asked.
"You aren't lying to me?"
"Of course!" Luo Yu nodded affirmatively.
A playful sparkle flashed in the depths of Hulena's beautiful eyes.
"If this is a dream, then kissing Brother Yu shouldn't be too much," she said.
"Eh..."
Luo Yu pondered for a moment.
This girl—was she truly convinced that she was dreaming, or was she using the dream as a pretext for her actions?
He was about to speak when a pair of red lips landed on his.
"Mwah!"
Soon, the two parted.
Hulena took Luo Yu's hand.
"Brother Yu, from now on, I'll be your woman," she declared.
Seeing Luo Yu not immediately responding, Hulena pouted her lips high, and tears began to form in the corners of her eyes.
Luo Yu could withstand a woman's fury,
but not this kind of pitiful weeping.
He quickly said, "Yes, of course you are my woman."
"Hee hee, since I'm Brother Yu's woman, then Brother Yu can do whatever he wants," she teased.
"Ah?" Luo Yu's eyes widened in surprise.
Looking at Hulena in front of him with open arms, as if giving herself over to him,
he felt bewildered for a moment.
"This... this is moving too fast," he muttered.
"Just being together and already wanting to do such thrilling things?"
Hulena blinked her beautiful eyes.
"Because it's a dream," she said.
"There's no harm in doing anything."
"Besides, even if it's not a dream, as long as I'm with Brother Yu, Nana is willing."
Hearing Hulena's last remark, Luo Yu was certain.
This girl had been pretending from the start.
She had realized this was not a dream long ago.
Luo Yu couldn't help rolling his eyes.
All this time, it turned out that he was the prey, and Hulena was the real hunter.
He flicked her forehead with a snap.
"You, how long do you plan to keep up this act?" he chided.
"Pretend?" Hulena first showed a surprised expression.
"Enough, stop acting," Luo Yu said impatiently.
Looking into Luo Yu's eyes, Hulena pouted with an air of indignation,
her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
He lowered his forehead, and his golden hair cascaded down.
"Little Nana doesn't have any ill intentions, she just wants to be with Brother Yu," she said.
Luo Yu replied, "So you decided to bamboozle me like this?"
Hulena shook her head.
"Brother Yu, Nana didn't mean to deceive you, really."
"Nana was just thinking of finding a reason to confess her feelings for you."
"And it wasn't all fooling around, I really did feel dizzy when I first woke up, thinking it was all a dream."
Luo Yu pointed to the shattered glass on the ground.
"Why did you drink so much Bloody Mary?"
"Did you not realize there was something off about that stuff?"
Hulena said, "I did notice, but when I'm feeling down, I just want to drink."
"It feels like after I drink it, the pain inside eases a bit."
"Compared to going mad, isn't missing someone the most painful thing?"
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Luo Yu asked.
Hulena bit hard on Luo Yu's arm.
Luo Yu hissed in pain.
He complained to himself.
Do both master and disciple behave the same way, liking to bite people's arms?
After biting, Hulena looked up, observing the teeth marks she left on Luo Yu's arm with a mix of joy and heartache.
"Brother Yu, does it hurt?"
Luo Yu said irritably, "Are you sick? You bite someone and then ask if it hurts?"
"Of course, it's because I'm angry," she said.
Hulena pursed her rosy lips, "You have no idea how much I missed you after you left."
"Every single day, I thought of you."
"While training, while sleeping, always thinking of you."
"Do you know why I thought you were just a dream at first?"
"Why?" Luo Yu asked without thinking.
Hulena's eyes sparkled as she earnestly looked at the man sitting beside her.
"Because for the past four years, I've almost met you in my dreams every day, having imagined countless scenarios where we're together."
Luo Yu was somewhat unable to imagine what these years had been like for Hulena.
Was his charm really that great?
To have a goddess from the Martial Soul Hall so utterly infatuated with him.
"Do I really deserve you feeling this way for me?"
Hulena's expression turned serious.
"Deserve it, why wouldn't I?"
"In Nana's heart, Brother Yu is the best man in the world."
"Only Brother Yu can conquer me, worthy enough for me to do this for."
Luo Yu wanted to speak again.
Hulena put her finger over his lips to silence him.
She shook her head slowly.
She looked at Luo Yu with deep affection.
"Brother Yu, don't say anything else, please."
"If you also like Nana, then kiss me," she said.
"If you don't like Nana, I won't cling to you."
Hulena slowly withdrew her finger from Luo Yu's lips.
Luo Yu responded.
He kissed her decisively.
How could any man refuse such a lovesick goddess?
...
Hulena snuggled into Luo Yu's embrace.
Her face was etched with happiness.
"Nana, aren't you curious why I suddenly came to Slaughter City?" Luo Yu couldn't help asking.
After all, after meeting Hulena, she didn't ask him anything.
Hulena said, "Brother Yu, as long as you show up that's enough, I really don't care about anything else."
Luo Yu rolled his eyes and pinched Hulena's petite nose.
"Is this what love does to a woman, halves her IQ?"
"Not at all," Hulena shook her head in denial.
"Definitely halved," insisted Luo Yu.
"It's not halved, it's clearly turned into a negative value," Hulena with curved brows and a smiling face said playfully.
"The main reason I came this time is actually to find you because I feel Slaughter City is extremely unsafe right now," Luo Yu said seriously.
"Ah?"
As Luo Yu wrapped his arms around Hulena explaining the purpose of his visit, on the other side, Bi Bidong and Bossi were also searching and came over.
