Chapter 256: Princess Xue Ke Acting Coquettish and Clingy, the Unresponsive State-Defending Divine Instrument!_1

Tang Yuehua slipped away.

She might have been too shy and didn't dare to see Luo Yu, so she didn't come back all night.

Luo Yu had no choice but to reluctantly make do on her bed for the night.

The next morning, sunlight shone into the boudoir.

The door quietly opened, leaving a small crack.

Tang Yuehua tiptoed into the room.

When she saw the figure of a man on her bed, she let out a sharp scream.

Which woke Luo Yu.

"What are you screaming about so early in the morning," Luo Yu said, speechless.

Tang Yuehua turned her back and stamped her feet repeatedly.

"You—you, why aren't you wearing any clothes!"

While getting dressed, Luo Yu retorted, "Who sleeps with their clothes on?"

"Who sleeps without their clothes on?" Tang Yuehua shot back in annoyed embarrassment.

Luo Yu rolled his eyes, "Well, you've seen it now, haven't you?"

"Hooligan," Tang Yuehua spat lightly, "to actually sleep on someone else's bed."

"No one has ever slept in my bed before."

After pondering for a moment, Luo Yu said, "In that case, is today a day worth celebrating?"

"Celebrate your big head," she snapped back.

Tang Yuehua clenched her teeth tightly; she could never maintain her composure around this man.

"What are you getting so angry about? It was you who invited me to Yue Xuan."

"I came, and then you ran off in the middle of the night."

"You didn't arrange a place for me to stay, so I had no choice but to stay here."

Upon hearing Luo Yu's discontented voice, Tang Yuehua's beautiful eyes faltered.

Hmm?

Why did it seem like this guy's reasoning was somewhat valid?

"That... indeed, it's my fault for not arranging properly for you. I will definitely find you a new room today," she said.

Tang Yuehua deliberately avoided the topic of the previous night.

"Then arrange it as soon as possible. The bed sheets and quilt are too fragrant, I can hardly resist," Luo Yu quipped.

Tang Yuehua clenched her fist, wanting to punch someone.

Sleeping in my bed and under my quilt, and still complaining about my body scent?

Could this guy be any more infuriating?

Soon, Luo Yu was settled by Tang Yuehua and also met all the members of Yue Xuan smoothly.

Upon seeing Luo Yu's arrival, the girls of Yue Xuan cheered the loudest. They all rushed up to him like fans chasing a star, with the bolder ones even daring to touch and feel him.

They were curious to see if the physical structure of a genius like Luo Yu was different from others.

This scene naturally caught Tang Yuehua's eye.

For some reason,

when she saw those girls getting too close to Luo Yu, a nameless flame surged up in her heart.

The students who usually appeared particularly likable to her now seemed a bit repulsive.

As long as you stay away from him, you are still my beloved student.

Luo Yu ended up staying for several days.

Although Tang Yuehua never showed too obvious emotional expression,

after spending several days together, every time she looked at Luo Yu, the hidden feelings and gentleness in her eyes became even deeper. It was only a matter of time before they got together.

The girls were always extremely enthusiastic about Luo Yu, each acting like a little fangirl.

The male students, filled with jealous envy, couldn't do anything about it.

After all, they could neither fight nor talk their way past him, being thoroughly crushed.

Xue Ke was the number one fangirl among the girls.

She was always clinging to Luo Yu, asking him to teach her how to play the piano.

She dressed up every day, even secretly paying attention to how often Luo Yu watched her.

Eventually, she deduced a pattern and dressed in the most chest-highlighting outfit she could find.

Her already well-developed small chest was displayed to its fullest extent.

Her fair, blush-tinged, slender and beautiful legs were wrapped in a layer of thin white stockings.

A pair of stocking-clad jade feet stood in crystal high heels with straps, innocently alluring with a hint of sexiness.

At that moment, she was wrapped around Luo Yu in Yue Xuan Hall,

affectionately holding his arm and acting like a spoiled child, pouting her luscious red lips.

"Big brother, play another song, please? Your 'Butterfly Lovers' was so nice to hear, I haven't had enough of it yet," she cooed.

The Little Princess's coquettish voice, combined with her sweet and pitiful demeanor,

made it hard for Luo Yu to refuse.

He felt she was a bit like Ning Rongrong, but not entirely the same.

Each had their own merits.

Luo Yu thought if these two women were to act spoiled beside him at the same time,

his bones would probably turn soft; the killing power was too strong.

Several girls in short, glittering gold skirts looked at Xue Ke with envy.

Actually, they wanted to join in too, but they dared not.

For Xue Ke had sought them out in private and openly expressed her fondness for Luo Yu.

Whoever came to compete would become her enemy.

They might all be nobles, but their status was still far inferior to that of a princess.

Luo Yu finished playing a piece called "Butterfly Lovers."

Xue Ke was completely mesmerized and worshipful.

"I really don't know how many pieces you can play, but every single one seems like they could be passed down for a thousand years without becoming outdated. It's just too incredible."

"To describe such talent as shocking and astounding seems hardly appropriate."

Luo Yu shook his head.

"Stop praising me, or I'm going to start blushing," he said.

"Playing the zither is just a hobby for cultivating my sentiment; it's nothing special."

"You call this God Rank level skill a hobby?" Xue Ke obviously didn't believe him and pouted, "I don't buy that. If this is your hobby, then I don't want to be a princess."

"Then what would you be?" Luo Yu asked with a smile.

"How about being your female slave?" Xue Ke blinked suggestively.

"A female slave? Tell me, what special skills do you have?" Luo Yu asked.

Xue Ke leaned closer with her supple body, her voice soft, "I know lots of things."

"Forget it, I don't think I can afford a female slave like you. Won't your dad kill me?" Luo Yu remarked teasingly.

Half-jokingly, Xue Ke said, "Then let's elope."

Luo Yu waved his hand dismissively, "Forget about it."

Xue Ke's beautiful eyes dimmed a bit.

She felt that Luo Yu was probably scared of her father.

After all, her father was the Emperor of Heaven Dou.

In truth, after getting to know him, she realized she had fallen for the talented and humorous Luo Yu.

She had wanted to confess her feelings for a while but hesitated.

That's because she guessed the Snow Night Emperor probably wouldn't approve of her being with someone whose main pursuit was playing the zither.

The odds of them facing vehement opposition were high.

Of course, there was also the question of whether Luo Yu liked her or not.

As the Tiandou Little Princess, she needed to maintain her dignity.

If she were to cast aside all reserve to confess her love, only to be rejected, she would lose all face.

On the second floor of Yuexuan Hall, hidden behind a pillar,

a dignified and beautiful woman in a silver gown was secretly paying attention to the scene below.

Seeing Xue Ke clinging to Luo Yu's arm, a vein throbbed at her temple.

She was lost in thought.

"That girl Xue Ke is going too far!"

"And this bad man, he's touched and kissed me, only to be hot and cold in the past few days, not showing any sign of affection."

"If I'm too shy to look for you, can't you take the initiative to come to me?"

Unbeknownst to herself, Tang Yuehua had gone from being a noble lady to acting more like an enamored girl since meeting Luo Yu.

Her previously calm disposition also became more prone to emotional swings.

The man's every action deeply affected her.

She felt she might really be falling in love.

Luo Yu stealthily glanced upstairs, a flash of amethyst gold in his eyes.

In fact, he had long been aware of Tang Yuehua's presence and was attuned to the changes in her emotions.

The timing was almost right.

The Dual Goddess Mission was about to be successfully completed.

Luo Yu was waiting for the right moment to capture the hearts of both goddesses and receive the extra Mysterious Gift Package.

Elsewhere, in the imperial palace of the Tiandou Empire,

sounds of objects being violently smashed resounded.

"Get out, all of you get out!"

"You're all useless."

The Snow Night Emperor was boiling with rage, berating the eight zitherists before him.

The National Treasure Qiankun Cloak had shown anomalies previously, and he believed it was triggered by a zither melody.

He thought he finally had a chance to unravel the secret of the cloak, which no emperor had been able to discover thus far.

So, he summoned the zitherists of the Tiandou Empire to play.

But it turned out to be a waste of time, as the cloak didn't react in the slightest.

"Maybe it's not that the pieces are ineffective,"

"but that these performers are too incompetent."

"Ke'er mentioned that man is at Yuexuan; I wonder if having him play for the Qiankun Cloak would elicit any reaction."

"Summon someone!"

An Imperial Guard entered the hall, "Your Majesty, how may I assist you?"

"Call for Lord Poison Douluo to come to the palace, to accompany me out of the palace, and head to Yuexuan."

"Yes!" The Imperial Guard respectfully withdrew.
