Xu Sheng suddenly became interested and folded his arms, asking, "Is that so? Then how does Her Royal Highness the Princess plan to thank me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Dai Yun'er's heartbeat quickened abruptly...
Immediately after, with a flustered face she said, "I... I... haven't thought it through yet, but as long as it's something I can provide, I definitely won't refuse!"
Xu Sheng nodded thoughtfully and looked at her beautiful cheeks, whispering, "What if I asked Her Royal Highness the Princess to marry me?"
This sentence seemed to exceed Dai Yun'er's understanding, and her expression suddenly froze...
Then, she transformed into a look of astonishment, and incredulously said, "Eh... Eh?"
What was merely a simple joke became like this in her mind!
"Elder Xu is actually willing to become my partner! But... but although I also have a fondness for him, I haven't thought about that step yet, isn't this developing a bit too fast?"
"But if I refuse, wouldn't it make Elder Xu think that I don't like him, ah ah ah ah ah ah... What should I do?"
With her brain racing, her cheeks turned even rosier under the sunshine...
Xu Sheng, who was unaware of her wild thoughts, couldn't help but interrupt, "Her Royal Highness the Princess? Are you daydreaming??"
Dai Yun'er, abruptly awakened, subconsciously replied, "Elder Xu, I am willing! If it's you... if it's you, you can definitely make me happy!"
Such a gentle man with such strength, if she could become his wife, she would definitely be much better off than those royal marriages!
This time, it was Xu Sheng who was stunned, and he couldn't help but rub her head, explaining, "Her Royal Highness the Princess, you don't need to be so nervous, I was only making a joke! Besides... if I used the fact that I saved you to coerce you, then I would be no different from an evil Soul Master!"
The light in Dai Yun'er's eyes dimmed a little, and she said with an awkward laugh, "Joke... joke? Yes... yes, I know Elder Xu was joking..."
Was it just a joke?
She had actually taken it seriously, and until just now, she had been fantasizing about a future with him...
Observing these details, Xu Sheng asked with surprise, "Her Royal Highness the Princess, you didn't take that seriously, did you?"
Dai Yun'er's throat gulped, and she said against her will, "Of... of course not, after all, I am the Princess of the Star Luo Empire, and you are an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion! The two of us are absolutely impossible!"
Xu Sheng didn't say much more, perfunctorily saying, "Is that so? Well, if Her Royal Highness the Princess has no other matter, then I shall take my leave."
Right after, he turned his body, ready to leave...
But before he could take a step, he found that Dai Yun'er was grasping the sleeve of his clothes...
Summoning her courage, she stared straight into Xu Sheng's dark pupils, saying, "Elder... Elder Xu, could you tell me your name?"
Xu Sheng turned his head, revealing a smile that could captivate the opposite sex, "Of course, my name is Xu Sheng!"
Having said that, he stepped away and left...
Watching him disappear, Dai Yun'er clenched her fists and muttered to herself, "Xu Sheng, so that's your name!"
Although it will be difficult, I won't give up!
Behind her, Dai Yue Yan, who had silently witnessed everything, mused, "It seems my sister has truly fallen for that Xu Sheng, to have her thoughts disturbed by just a few words!"
Well, let me, as her brother, give her a hand!
...
Inside the hotel!
Shen Yi rubbed his head, looking displeased, "Damn it, why do I always feel irritable! Could it be that a Fox spirit is seducing Xu Sheng?"
"You definitely don't want to get caught by me, or else, I'll absolutely show that fox what it means to be the White-haired Witch!"
The surrounding Shrek students witnessed the scene, all lowering their voices and carefully started discussing...
"Hey, hey, what's up with Teacher Shen today? She's so irritable. I was actually thinking of asking her about some cultivation questions."
"Ask now? You truly are a brave soul!"
"Isn't this normal? Women have those days, even if it's the White-haired Witch, Teacher Shen."
"I think it's not that simple. When Teacher Xu is here, when has Teacher Shen ever been like this? Most likely she's just a bit thirsty from not being 'nourished' for two days."
One of the students widened his eyes and hurriedly warned, "Shh... shut it, if Teacher Shen hears this kind of talk, someone's going to get killed!"
However, just at that moment, a cold and chilling voice sounded behind them...
"No need, I've already heard you all! You guys, right now, get outside and give me two hundred push-ups without using Soul Power! Otherwise, I'll break your dog legs!"
The owner of the voice was none other than Shen Yi, who had inconspicuously left the sofa at some point!
The faces of these students instantly turned ashen as they stood up, trembling, and walked towards the hall exit...
They knew the White-haired Witch all too well, she was someone whose words were as good as her bond!
If she said she'd only break dog legs, then she definitely wouldn't break all four limbs!
Watching those students wailing as they did push-ups, Shen Yi's expression finally softened a bit...
These gossipy little rascals deserved to be punished!
On the other side, Zheng Yiran pouted and expressed her displeasure, "The Young Soul Master competition is about to start, and Teacher Xu still hasn't arrived. This is too irresponsible!"
Next to her, Yang Nian Xia gently explained, "Yiran, hasn't Teacher Shen said that Teacher Xu should have gone to the Star Luo Empire Palace?"
This affectionate speech made Zheng Yiran inhale sharply, saying with utter disdain, "Yang Nian Xia, I've told you not to call me with such a mushy tone!"
But if one observed carefully, they'd notice a few traces of a smile curling at the corners of her mouth...
Clearly, through Yang Nian Xia's persistent cajoling over time, their relationship had grown much closer!
Luo Guixing rolled his eyes, "With so many people here, could you stop flaunting your love?"
After a pause, he continued, "But about the question just now, if you ask me, maybe Teacher Xu is too comfortable in the palace and doesn't want to come back to the hotel!"
"Maybe even his meals are being served by beauties..."
As his words fell, he felt as if he was being stared at by a Primordial Behemoth, an icy chill running down his spine...
When he looked up, he found Shen Yi's cold gaze fixed firmly on him...
Luo Guixing hastily waved his hands, "No... no, what I mean is, Teacher Xu has been away for so long, he might have been held up by something in the Star Luo Empire Palace! After all, the exchange competition is about to begin!"
Only after feeling the oppressive stare of Shen Yi move away did he pat his chest, whispering to himself, "That was close... nearly lost my life there!"
But Teacher Xu, you'd better hurry back, or Teacher Shen is going to reveal her true nature again!
