For a moment.
Liam felt a bit dazed.
Wait, what?
I was actually forcibly kissed by Blue Silver Grass?
The key point is...
You're using this to test an official? Which official could withstand such a test?
"I..."
Liam was about to say something, but Ah Yin reached out and placed her hand over his mouth.
Ah Yin looked at Liam with eyes full of tender affection and said softly:
"Don't speak."
"Can you pretend to be drunk?"
Liam nodded slightly, remaining silent.
Ah Yin felt a surge of joy in her heart. She then pulled Liam and laid him down flat.
Liam was confused, not knowing what Ah Yin intended to do, only to see her suddenly use a Spirit Ability—Blue Silver Grass Binding!
A sneak attack.
At that moment, the Blue Silver Grass pounced on Liam, Binding him entirely. Liam was instantly startled and hurriedly used his Kunpeng Martial Soul skill—Great Roc Rises with the Wind.
Rise.
However.
Ah Yin was, after all, no ordinary Blue Silver Grass. On the deck...
The sea breeze blew gently.
Bibi Dong and her group had mostly finished drinking. At this moment, they were preparing to stand up, take one last look at the beautiful moon, and then head back to rest.
Gu Yuena and the others were filled with doubt and a bit of anxiety.
What exactly is the situation?
Logically speaking...
The two of them have been gone for so long; they should have either started Cultivating or returned by now.
Why hasn't the diary instance reward notification appeared yet?
Could it be that Ah Yin couldn't find the right way?
Bibi Dong then looked at Gu Yuena and asked:
"Yuena, have you all had enough to drink?"
"It's getting quite late now. Why don't we all go back and rest?"
"Um..."
Gu Yuena hesitated for a moment and replied, "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, why don't we chat for a bit longer?"
She didn't know how Ah Yin's battle was going, so she could only do her best to keep Bibi Dong and the others there.
Bibi Dong and Spirit Kite Douluo exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Alright then!"
"Then what should we talk about?"
The group sat back down in a circle.
Bi Ji thought for a moment and said:
"Let's talk about our respective pasts. We can get to know each other and improve our relationship. How does that sound?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone began to silently flip through the diary instance in their minds.
Bi Ji added:
"I feel that although Liam knows everything, what he knows should be the major events. There must still be many things he doesn't know."
Everyone nodded slightly. Bi Ji looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Zhuqing, you are the youngest and your story is the shortest. You go first!"
Zhu Zhuqing had drunk quite a bit of wine, and her small face was already flushed. Hearing Bi Ji's words, she looked up at the sky and said:
"There was something I used to not understand. Why did my elder sister suddenly stop liking me one day? No matter what I did, she was very cold to me."
"As I grew up, I learned that my sister and I were destined to marry two princes of the Dai Family, and we were fated to kill each other.
Because of her cold attitude, I felt the same way toward her. It wasn't until now that I understood she actually cared for me deeply in her heart, but she just couldn't show it."
Zhu Zhuqing stopped there and did not continue.
Ye Lingling said softly, "So, when you escaped from the Star Luo Empire, she was actually helping you in secret."
"Her cold attitude toward you was because she didn't want any shadows left in your hearts when you were forced to kill each other in the future."
"Yes."
Zhu Zhuqing replied softly:
"She is a few years older than me and matured earlier."
"If we hadn't been born into the Zhu family, I think I would have had a sister who always doted on me, and she would have had an obedient and cute little sister."
Bibi Dong and her group drank silently, feeling a bit of heartache.
The matters of the Star Luo Royal Family were truly disgusting. Consanguineous marriage aside, they even engaged in this kind of Gu-rearing behavior?
Ye Lingling squeezed Zhu Zhuqing's hand for comfort and looked at everyone with a smile:
"Actually, Liam has already written my story in the Diary, and it's exactly as he wrote."
"The restrictions of the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul caused me to lose my closest relatives when I was very young. I used to hate my own Martial Soul..."
Zhu Zhuqing reached out and pulled Ye Lingling into her arms, stroking her cheek with some heartache.
Bibi Dong sighed:
"Childhood can really affect a person. For example, since Zhuqing and Lingling both had bad childhoods, they developed quieter personalities."
"Compared to them, although I lost my parents at a very young age, I had a beautiful childhood in Spirit Hall."
"You might not believe it, but my personality used to be just like Ning Rongrong's—the mischievous, cute, innocent, and kind type."
Everyone's expressions became a bit strange upon hearing this. This Bibi Dong was the decisive and ruthless Pope of Spirit Hall!
She used to be like Ning Rongrong?
It was hard to imagine.
Spirit Kite Douluo teased with a smile,
"Unfortunately, once you encountered the Blind Douluo, our innocent and kind Holy Maiden could never return."
Bibi Dong was speechless and gave Spirit Kite Douluo a sidelong glance.
Zhu Zhuqing, however, shook her head and said:
"Actually, Sister, you're wrong. If you had even half or a third of Rongrong's character, it wouldn't have come to this."
Huh?
Bibi Dong looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a look of confusion.
Zhu Zhuqing explained:
"Although Rongrong seems willful and unruly, in her heart, she values the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect very much and will consider the school's interests first."
Gu Yuena and the others weren't very clear on the details, but they felt that what Zhu Zhuqing said was likely correct.
Spirit Kite Douluo nodded and said:
"Yes."
"In fact, if you could have considered Spirit Hall's interests even a little bit, it wouldn't have come to this."
"I think Liam's writing was still conservative. He said you were spoiled by Spirit Hall from a young age, but I think you yourself—"
Spirit Kite Douluo stopped there. Seeing Bibi Dong's expression as if she wanted to hit someone, she hurriedly shouted,
"Donger, we sisters are opening our hearts to chat, you can't let your personal emotions get in the way!"
