In the dead of night, Chen Luo lay alone on the balcony of the City Lord's mansion, gazing at the blood moon in the sky, his heart unusually tranquil.
Since the apocalypse, the sense of crisis, as if something was always chasing him from behind, had been greatly alleviated after Chen Luo stepped into the Domain Realm.
Frost's Pride had always been a towering mountain in Chen Luo's heart, and now that he had truly crossed it, he felt as though the world had become clear.
Although there might still be some uncontrollable monsters in the world, Chen Luo was confident that he could eliminate them one by one in a very short time.
When that time came, the unification goal that the previous civilization had failed to achieve could be realized in Chen Luo's hands, and all of humanity's strength would be concentrated to deal with the impending crisis.
Chen Luo felt an unprecedented sense of ease. For the first time, he stopped the frantic skill calculations in his mind.
At this moment, he calmly looked up at the sky, beyond the blood moon, towards the endless sea of stars.
He thought of nothing.
*Pat…*
A light landing sound from behind broke Chen Luo's tranquil state.
He turned his head and saw Violet, holding a roasted lamb leg.
The blue-haired, golden-eyed dragon girl held a roasted lamb leg in one hand, and in the other, she carried a girl covering her face.
The girl, dressed in a white dress, had her hands covering her face, her fair legs dangling by the eaves.
"Master, she was peeking at you, and her heart rate is very fast."
Hu Tao, who had been caught by Violet, covered her flushed face, but dared not look at Chen Luo.
Ever since that misunderstanding, Hu Tao had been like this.
Chen Luo had long sensed her gaze, but since they were all allies, he hadn't paid it any mind.
He hadn't expected the dragon girl to treat Hu Tao as an anomaly and drag her out.
Looking at Hu Tao's pleading eyes peeking through her fingers, Chen Luo stood up and casually summoned a new roasted lamb leg, offering it to the dragon girl: xxs壹贰
"Alright, everyone in the house is a companion, they won't harm me. But thank you for being vigilant for me."
Smelling the aroma of food, the dragon girl loosened her grip, and Hu Tao, with a startled cry, was about to fall off the balcony.
However, Chen Luo casually caught her, holding the lamb leg in one hand and Hu Tao in the other.
"Tell me, you've been secretly watching me, what did you want to say?"
In the young man's eyes, it was as if stars were twinkling. The proximity of their breaths made Hu Tao's body go limp.
Her hands covering her face were long gone. The young woman, more beautiful than flowers, stared blankly at Chen Luo for a while before letting out a soft moan and lowering her head:
"I... I... I came to apologize to you."
Hearing Hu Tao's stammering words, Chen Luo couldn't help but chuckle.
This earnest little fool, I don't even mind that remark, and she's still thinking about it.
Suddenly, Chen Luo sensed a curious gaze from beside him.
He saw the towering mountain he once looked up to – the proud true dragon – the forbidden target number one, now his gluttonous mount, the dragon girl, looking at him and Hu Tao with curiosity.
Chen Luo glared!
I gave you all the food! Go away, don't be a third wheel here!!
The dragon girl, who had never experienced love firsthand, watched her master curiously.
This woman didn't do anything, why was the master's heart rate also accelerating, and his blood seemed to be flowing downwards? Was he brewing some kind of move?
Still wanting to investigate further, the dragon girl was met with Chen Luo's glare. The fear of being dominated was recalled, and she reluctantly carried the two roasted lamb legs back into the room.
Hu Tao was completely unaware of the silent exchange of glances between the man and the dragon.
She lowered her small head, as if brewing something.
The moment Chen Luo and the dragon girl returned to the room, Hu Tao's courage seemed to have reached its peak.
The girl raised her delicate face, looked at the young man standing close to her, and said earnestly:
"I came to apologize. I shouldn't have called you a pervert, Chen Luo."
"Chen Luo, you saved me, you are the hero who saved all of us."
"And it was I who was the pervert, thinking such wild thoughts at that time!"
"I shouldn't have doubted you, I was so wrong!"
The girl blurted out the words she had been brewing for a long time in one breath. After speaking, she no longer lowered her head but looked at Chen Luo with bright eyes.
But after listening to Hu Tao's rapid-fire apology, Chen Luo's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.
This smile grew stronger and stronger until Chen Luo could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.
Looking at Chen Luo laughing inexplicably, Hu Tao said somewhat dejectedly:
"Mmm, I'm being serious. Even if you want to mock my thoughts as perverted, you can."
But the next moment, a warm hand was placed on Hu Tao's head and gently stroked it:
"Silly, I'm not blaming you at all. Alright, I accept your apology."
"But then..."
Hu Tao's mood lightened, and Chen Luo's turn of phrase made her cast a puzzled glance.
The next moment, Chen Luo suddenly closed the distance between them.
Feeling his strong body pressed against her, Hu Tao's face flushed as if she were drunk, a captivating blush spreading across it.
"But... but what!"
She felt the warmth of his breath by her ear. The young man's words, accompanied by the heat of his breath, tickled her earlobe, making her feel an itch deep inside:
"But, my Hu Tao didn't say anything wrong about me. For a beautiful girl like you, I, well, I really will do things that only perverts would do."
Teasing the girl, Chen Luo expected her cute reaction after being startled.
But to his surprise, the girl suddenly turned her head, her lips meeting his, the taste of each other transmitted silently.
The girl, who had very low defenses against such things, had her eyes instantly moisten, but she gazed at Chen Luo without wavering.
In Chen Luo's astonished gaze, the girl, who was considered a little white rabbit, stepped back with a smile.
Although her legs were weak and she stood trembling, her gaze was incredibly serious:
"Whatever you want to do to me, I will accompany you!"
"However, we girls are more perverted than you think!"
"I'm also a lustful girl who craves your body! I like you the most, you big pervert!"
Chen Luo chuckled and touched his lips, still carrying the girl's scent.
He had been "kicked" by a little white rabbit.
Inside the room,
The dragon girl, observing through her dragon eyes, casually took the snacks handed to her by Xiaoyue and commented while eating,
"Hey! Master pounced! He's biting that woman's ear!"
Xiaoyue's eyes lit up as she listened, and she couldn't help but say,
"Then what, then what?! Oh right, Longlong, that's Mother Hu Tao, not 'that woman'!"
The dragon girl's mouth moved unconsciously, tasting the snacks treasured by Xiaoyue, and continued her commentary diligently,
"Hey!! This Mother is so brave! She's biting Master! She's even sticking out her tongue!!"
