Chapter 23: The Ins and Outs of Qian Renxue, The Tempting Dong'er!_1

Within the Empress's chamber, where the scent of dark orchids lingered.

"Bang!"

Luo Yu was forcefully pushed onto the bed by the Empress.

"You… why are you in such a hurry to drag me back here?"

Bi Bidong remained silent, her stunningly beautiful face still bearing a chill as she stood beside the bed, silently watching the man.

Luo Yu felt uneasy under her gaze, unable to fathom the woman's thoughts.

Logically speaking, when a woman pulls you back to her chamber and shoves you onto her bed,

this situation couldn't be more straightforward; what was about to ensue seemed obvious. However, there was something off about Bi Bidong's gaze.

"What's wrong?" Luo Yu was puzzled, "Who has upset our Dong'er?"

Bi Bidong's lips pouted, her eyes reddened, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

"Don't you know how frail you are right now? Why don't you stay close to me so I can protect you?"

"What would I do if something happened to you today!"

"What if I had been too late?!!"

Hearing the almost scolding voice, Luo Yu didn't feel impatient but rather noticed it was laden with deep concern and fear.

Yes, fear.

Ever since Luo Yu rescued a desperate Bi Bidong from Qianxun Ji's clutches in the secret chamber years ago, she had been deeply attached to him.

Their time together subsequently smoothed over the scars in her heart and taught her many things due to Luo Yu's humor and wit.

From that time on, Bi Bidong had fallen deeply for this man and wished to be with him.

During their time apart, she thought of him incessantly.

But past traumas had made Bi Bidong wary of trusting any other man for the rest of her life, harboring an innate disdain for men except for her unique affection for Luo Yu, with whom she could open her heart.

It was as though all her emotions were focused on this one person.

This also caused any threat to Luo Yu to wrench her heart with anxiety, turning her almost frantic, no longer the prideful and noble Cold and Glamorous Empress.

To others, Bi Bidong might forever be the unapproachable Empress, even seen as a ruthless, cold-blooded rose with thorns.

But in Luo Yu's eyes, she was completely different, a distinctly beautiful vista.

At this moment, the Empress's shoulders shook, and her eyes had reddened.

Luo Yu rose from the bed, gently wrapped his arms around Bi Bidong's shoulders, drawing close to her peerless face, even inhaling the faint fragrance of her body as he softly consoled her.

"It's okay, I'm still fine, aren't I?"

"Fine? If I had been too late, what would you have done then?"

Bi Bidong's pupils were reddish, lacking that majestic posture she had outside, resembling a girl in need of protection.

Luo Yu shook his head with a smile: "It's not as terrible as you think. I have a bodyguard, though I don't know where she's scurrying around right now. But she should be nearby."

"If I'm in danger, she'll show up."

"What bodyguard?"

"That Soft Bone Charming Rabbit. She's already reached the Ferocious Beast Level, so she can protect me without a problem."

"The one you held before? That's a soul beast?" Bi Bidong's beautiful eyes widened.

Luo Yu, too, widened his eyes, "Can't you tell, even when others couldn't?"

"I didn't notice. Isn't it just a normal gray rabbit?" Bi Bidong hesitated.

"Ah?" Luo Yu was instantly shocked. Wasn't he clear about what he'd been holding? He wasn't colorblind either.

How could Bi Bidong call it gray? That was baffling.

"Are you sure what I held before was a gray rabbit?" Luo Yu asked, confused.

Bi Bidong nodded affirmatively, "Yes! I'm a hundred percent certain."

"Then that's really strange."

Luo Yu fell into contemplation, then his eyes gradually brightened, "Oh, I understand now."

"What's going on?" Bi Bidong asked with curiosity.

Luo Yu explained slowly, "Someone must have deliberately applied a hide magic to the Soft Bone Charming Rabbit. To my eyes, everything looks normal, but to others, it appears just as a regular rabbit."

Bi Bidong shook her head repeatedly, "Impossible! With my current level of cultivation, who could perform hide magic right before me?"

Luo Yu smiled mysteriously, "Dong'er, compared to that person's spiritual power, you really need to put in some more years of diligent cultivation."

"Who? Male or female?" Bi Bidong asked in surprise.

"Ahem, I can't say, I can't say."

"Come on, Brother Yu, just tell me," Bi Bidong pleaded, grabbing the man's arm and shaking it.

What it feels like to have the Empress acting coquettishly, Luo Yu didn't want to answer right now, because his bones had gone soft.

But Luo Yu didn't budge even after she shook him for a long time.

It was a joke, how could he easily say that? If he did, it would be a funeral pyre.

"Humph, if you won't say it, then forget it."

"All right Dong'er, no more fuss, I have something I need to ask you."

Bi Bidong was about to act like a petulant woman, after all, for many years she had been alone, dignified and serious on the surface, but in her heart, she too longed for the comfort and companionship of a man.

However, seeing the serious look on Luo Yu's face, she put away her teasing demeanor.

"Brother Yu, you ask," she said.

Luo Yu didn't really want to ask, as it would stir up Bi Bidong's memories, but he still wanted to get it cleared up face to face.

"After I saved you that year and stayed for a while, didn't I return to Star Dou? Then what happened in Spirit Hall, how come even Qianxun Ji got a kid."

"Brother Yu, are you doubting me?" Bi Bidong's beautiful eyes sharpened, and she became anxious on the spot.

Luo Yu explained with a wry smile, "No, I just want to know what happened afterward."

Bi Bidong walked over with graceful steps and elegantly sat down next to Luo Yu, her enticing legs crossed, her jade hand encircled the man's waist, and her pretty face quietly rested on his broad shoulder.

"Brother Yu, let me tell you slowly," she said.

"That year, you severely injured Qianxun Ji, and it just so happened that Qian Daoliu was in seclusion. That trash was so scared by you he didn't dare to tell his father the truth, fearing you would come back for more trouble."

"While he was secretly licking his wounds, there was a woman who pursued him and came to take care of him attentively…"

Hearing this, Luo Yu suddenly understood and added,

"Then Qianxun Ji and this woman grew closer over time, and they fell in love? And then they had a child named Qian Renxue?"

Bi Bidong snorted coldly, "Yeah, Qianxun Ji is trash, but his background and power attracted quite a few fan girls. Poor things, they had no idea who he really was."

"What happened later?" Luo Yu urged.

Bi Bidong suddenly laughed, "What goes around, comes around. That Qianxun Ji didn't enjoy himself for long. He pursued Tang Hao from the Hao Tian Clan because he coveted another man's wife, and in the end, he was literally hammered to death outside."

"That bad, got hammered to death just like that?" Luo Yu was surprised for a moment, that didn't seem right.

Bi Bidong gave him a sideways glance, "Actually, your contribution to his death can't be overlooked, Brother Yu. When you cut off his arm that year, his strength greatly diminished, and his injuries never fully healed.

"Although Tang Hao's cultivation level wasn't great, he had Hao Tian Clan's secret techniques. Seeing his wife sacrificed, he exploded with rage and beat Qianxun Ji to death on the spot."

Poor little Ji Ji, truly destined to seek his own death everywhere.

Luo Yu felt no sympathy for this, scum deserved to die.

"So you, the Pope of Spirit Hall, aren't going to seek vengeance for him?" Luo Yu teased.

"Dead Ghost, you're asking for it! Can you even joke about this? I wish that guy had died a miserable death, hammered dead outside so he wouldn't be a nuisance in front of my eyes."

Luo Yu gave a dry laugh.

The air suddenly quieted down, their eyes met, so close to each other, and the mood suddenly became enchanting.

"Brother Yu, tell me honestly, did you have some doubts about me earlier?" Bi Bidong whispered in Luo Yu's ear, her red lips pouted in a complaining tone.

"How could I!" Luo Yu immediately denied it.

Bi Bidong's cool, smooth hand slid up Luo Yu's back, bit by bit, caressing.

"Huh."

Her gorgeous, dewy lips blew a breath into Luo Yu's ear.

"How could you doubt me."

"Heartless, I've been keeping myself pure for you all these years, just waiting for you to return."

"Dong'er... you're playing with fire," Luo Yu warned, feeling his blood rush to his head.

With her fingers lightly stroking Luo Yu's face, Bi Bidong spoke in a dreamy tone, her breath as soft as an orchid, "It doesn't matter if you doubted me, some things can't be faked, you'll know once you test it..."

"Buzz!"

Luo Yu's eyes reddened, feeling that if he didn't take action, he would be one hundred percent an iron eunuch!!
