Chapter 889 Farewell (Please Subscribe)_1

Over the following few days, Bai Gongyu was glued to Xu Sheng, trailing his every step. Wherever Xu Sheng could be found, she was always by his side…

This moment, Bai Gongyu had shed her white robe and donned a light blue dress instead, perfectly outlining her delicate and shapely figure. At a glance, she seemed to possess an ethereal aura…

However, her beautiful eyes were filled with a silent reproach as she muttered to Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, didn't you promise to teach me martial techniques?"

Hearing this, Xu Sheng covered his mouth and coughed, "Feather, the martial technique you asked about just needs to be done like this, then like that, and finally this way, and that's it!"

He genuinely wanted to guide Bai Gongyu in her training, but could her practice even be called training?

I don't think so.

What he thought would be training Bai Gongyu's martial techniques turned out to be training his own self-control!

If he let go even a little, he might end up devouring Bai Gongyu…

Bai Gongyu pouted, displeased, "Xu Sheng! Can you afford to be any more perfunctory? How can I possibly learn with that kind of instruction?"

Immediately after, her beautiful eyes twinkled a few times and she suggested, "How about we go to the room instead? It's quieter there, and I'm sure it will make my training much easier!"

Xu Sheng glanced at her with his dark eyes and refused, "Let's not… You're too clever by half, and I can't teach you!"

He had grown wary of Bai Gongyu, whose personality had changed so drastically, it was like she was a different person!

He wondered just how she managed to veer off course in a matter of days…

To the Bai Gong Clan disciples, their behavior seemed like the playful banter of a couple in love!

Especially with the rumors going around, which made them even more convinced!

One of the disciples clicked his tongue and sighed, "Tsk tsk tsk! Who would have thought, Xu Sheng and Feather Junior Sister have just confirmed their relationship and they're already flirting. I'm so jealous!"

If he could have a beautiful partner like Feather Junior Sister, he'd love nothing more than to stay in a room with her all day!

After all, as the saying goes, with a delicate wife at home, goji berries are of no help!

Another disciple scoffed, "What's there to be envious of, you? Is Feather Junior Sister even within your reach? Wait a second…since when did Feather Junior Sister and Xu Sheng confirm their relationship?? I wasn't aware of this!!"

"It was just a few days ago, apparently. I heard the Clan Leader and the Elders saw Feather Junior Sister lying in Xu Sheng's arms, sleeping so peacefully sweet, they say she couldn't bear to leave!"

"That's right, that's right, I heard about it too. Seems like Feather Junior Sister has pledged to marry no one but Xu Sheng in this lifetime, it looks like deep affection to me."

"Is that the situation? What I heard was that Feather Junior Sister is about to become Xu Sheng's official partner, and they're leaving Tianfeng City to venture into the wider Continent…"

When Bai Gongyu heard these gossiping voices, her face turned dark in an instant, and she rebuked them angrily, "Shut up! What nonsense are you all spouting?!"

Their chiding did not intimidate the disciples; instead, they earnestly said, "See, what did I tell you? Feather Junior Sister is truly in deep. Even her temper has changed. Feather Junior Sister has sacrificed too much!"

"My Feather Junior Sister, my goddess, alas… I can only wish them happiness now!"

"Let's get going, if we stay here, we might disturb Feather Junior Sister and Xu Sheng from exchanging their affections!"

"Yeah, yeah! Let's go, let's go!"

After these words fell, the disciples hurried away…

Leaving behind Bai Gongyu, who was angrily watching their retreating figures, whispering curses, "Damn it! Those guys just spread rumors! What vows for a lifetime, what adventures to the ends of the earth…"

When had she ever said such messy things? Although she certainly had a fondness for Xu Sheng, it wasn't as exaggerated as all that!

After all, they had only been in contact for a few days, how far could it possibly go?

Seeing her distracted, Xu Sheng pressed his lips together and, after a moment's thought, spoke softly, "Feather, I'm leaving tomorrow!"

Bai Gongyu's face changed suddenly, a bit dazed, she said, "Eh? So soon…"

In her memory, the time she had spent with Xu Sheng felt like just yesterday…

Xu Sheng shook his head, his voice filled with complexity, "It's already getting late. I have stayed with the Bai Gong Family for three days now…"

Bai Gongyu shook her head, trying to appear as natural as possible, and chuckled lightly, "Let's not talk about that, Xu Sheng. Come with me and stroll through Tianfeng City instead. There are so many shops we haven't visited yet!"

Xu Sheng took a deep breath, "Fine, today I will accompany you to shop to your heart's content..."

Bai Gongyu said in a slightly hurried tone, "Then let's set off quickly, if it's too late, the stores will close!"

As soon as she had spoken, she grabbed Xu Sheng's hand and started to trot...

Xu Sheng did not pull away, so he hurried along with her and started trotting together...

Perhaps in this way, he could make up for the regrets in her heart...

...

Bai Gongyu picked up a bowl of strong liquor that carried a faint fragrance and brought it close to Xu Sheng's mouth, "Xu Sheng, quickly taste this, it's a specialty of our Tianfeng City!"

Xu Sheng took a light sip, and his dark eyes twinkled a few times, "Not bad!"

"I told you, I'm very familiar with the shops in Tianfeng City!"

...

Bai Gongyu, who had changed into a set of exquisite clothes, blinked her beautiful eyes towards Xu Sheng in front of her and waved her hand, "Xu Sheng, look here, does this outfit look nice?"

Xu Sheng studied the completely transformed Bai Gongyu in front of him carefully, his thin lips slightly pursed, he earnestly replied, "It looks very nice, and it suits you well, adding a bit more of a demure charm..."

Bai Gongyu, hands on her hips, said proudly, "Of course, I look good in anything I wear!"

Xu Sheng helplessly shook his head, "Yes, yes, yes, a few compliments, and you're nearly floating to the heavens!"

...

"Xu Sheng, come over here, here!!"

"Xu Sheng, hurry up, or it's going to close!"

"Quick, quick, quick, I think there's a shop over there that sells robes—you can't always dress so monotonously, right?"

"Xu Sheng..."

"Xu Sheng..."

These crisp and pleasant calls were almost constantly present in Xu Sheng's mind...

...

As night fell, the pale moonlight pierced through the clouds, casting layers of silver light upon the mortal world, giving Xu Sheng and Bai Gongyu a glow...

Xu Sheng's mouth turned up in a curve, he softly said, "Feather, what do you think, are you satisfied with today's shopping?!"

Bai Gongyu's delicate cheeks radiated a strong sense of satisfaction, she nodded her head then shook it, speaking softly, "Not satisfied, not at all! If only I could shop for a lifetime!"

Xu Sheng agreed, "Yes, if only we could shop for a lifetime..."

Bai Gongyu giggled behind her hand, "So, Xu Sheng, after spending so many days together, you still don't like me?"

Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow, "Then you might have a long wait! It's barely a favorable impression..."

Bai Gongyu's tone changed instantly, extremely serious, "Say... Xu Sheng, after you leave, will you come back?"

Xu Sheng looked up at the moon in the sky, smiling, "No! I'll never come back!"

Bai Gongyu's eyes brimmed with tears, she choked up, "Is that so... don't wake me up tomorrow, I'm afraid I... won't bear to see you leave..."

Having said that, she tightly embraced Xu Sheng in her arms...

"Mm, have a good sleep, once you wake up, everything will be forgotten..."

...
