“You just finished your seclusion, right?” Yu Huang asked Sheng Xiao.
“Yes.” Sheng Xiao said to Yu Huang, “Move over a little. I’ll lie beside you for a while.”
“Okay.”
Yu Huang moved to the side of the bed and Sheng Xiao leaned against her. The bed was only two meters long. Sheng Xiao’s head was next to Yu Huang’s, and his feet had to be curled up to lie down. Yu Huang bent down and laid in Sheng Xiao’s arms.
After a month of seclusion, Sheng Xiao had stubble on his chin. He deliberately rubbed his beard against Yu Huang’s neck. Yu Huang felt itchy. “Don’t rub against me.”
“Just for a while.”
“Don’t rub it. It tickles.”
Yin Rong and Xiao Shu stood outside the ward. When they heard the flirty conversation coming from the room, they suddenly stopped in their tracks.
Xiao Shu leaned against the wall and blinked at Yin Rong.
Yin Rong seemed to have thought of something and her face turned even redder.
Was Senior Sheng usually so open with Yu Huang?
This was a ward.
Xiao Shu smiled and knocked hard on the closed ward door. He reminded loudly, “It’s daytime. This is the ward. Be mindful of your image.”
Hearing this, the two people inside suddenly stopped talking.
“Come in and talk.” Sheng Xiao sounded very calm. He didn’t look like he couldn’t control his his urges.
Xiao Shu raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, Could we have been wrong? Weren’t they doing something shameful just now?
Xiao Shu pushed the door open and walked into the room with Yin Rong. Although Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang were lying on the same bed, they were dressed neatly. He knew that it was a misunderstanding.
Yin Rong lowered her head. She was too embarrassed to look at Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang’s faces. Xiao Shu was more shameless. He looked at the two people on the bed with a faint smile and said, “It’s broad daylight. Please don’t say those words that make other misunderstand.”
Sheng Xiao sneered. “You’re the one who’s dirty-minded.”
Xiao Shu rolled his eyes.
His heart was indeed dirty-minded.
“Yu Huang, congratulations on breaking through to the Supreme Master Realm.” Yin Rong hurriedly changed the topic.
Yu Huang also said to Yin Rong, “Congratulations too.”
Yin Rong told them, “Previously, Dean Di called me over and told me about the Dark Night Ghost Sect. I heard that a month ago, Patriarch Sheng, Mr. Ji Linyuan, and the others gathered a large number of experts and successfully destroyed the lair of the Dark Night Ghost Sect. The Sect Master of the Dark Night Ghost Sect, Lucifer, was killed. All the brats in the sect had their beast hearts destroyed, their wings cut off, and became cripples.”
“The Dark Night Ghost Sect has been eliminated. The blood feud between my parents and sister has been avenged.” Although the Dark Night Ghost Sect had been destroyed by Sheng Lingfeng and the others, if Yu Huang hadn’t secretly added fuel to the fire, how could Sheng Lingfeng and the others gather their forces to attack the Dark Night Ghost Sect?
Yin Rong suddenly knelt on the ground towards Yu Huang. “Patriarch, I will never forget your kindness! From now on, I will follow you to the end of the world with Xiao Shu!” From this moment onwards, Yin Rong’s loyalty wouldn’t be to the Yin Clan, but to Yu Huang.
Yu Huang took a deep look at Yin Rong. She could sense Yin Rong’s determination and sincerity.
Yu Huang suddenly said, “That day in the Saint Tomb, you fell for the illusion of the Tomb Guardian Beast. In order to obtain the inheritance, you once killed the me in the illusion world…”
Hearing Yu Huang mention this again, Yin Rong revealed a ashamed expression. “Yes, this has always been a hurdle in my heart.”
Yin Rong had always treated Yu Huang very well. When they were in the Divine Realm Academy, Yin Rong had always been a senior that Yu Huang respected. However, the matter of the Saint Tomb still left an irreconcilable grudge in their hearts.
From then on, Yin Rong always felt guilty when facing Yu Huang and couldn’t open up to her.
They were roommates in the same dormitory, and Yu Huang was the patriarch of the Yin Clan. As a member of the Yin Clan, Yin Rong was actually under a lot of pressure when facing Yu Huang. Every time she told Yu Huang a joke, she would force herself to smile.
It was because she knew that her actions in the Saint Tomb had broken Yu Huang’s heart. Yu Huang would no longer trust her as much as before.
Although Yu Huang had taken the initiative to plot against Museido and pushed Sheng Lingfeng and the others to attack the Dark Night Ghost Sect because of her agreement with Xiao Shu, Yin Rong knew that the main reason Yu Huang was willing to do this was because of her.
At the thought of this, Yin Rong felt even more ashamed.
“At that time, I was wholeheartedly focued on obtaining Prime Master Jing An’s inheritance. I wanted to become Yin Mingchong’s successor and obtain the Yin Clan’s strength to help me take revenge. I wanted revenge too much, so I backstabbed you. I felt guilty about this.”
