Half an hour later.
Bai Zhou noticed that the orange was still being eaten, and his lips twitched slightly.
"Hey, that's enough! If you eat any more, you'll really get fat. Besides, you're off tomorrow, so there's no use stalling now..." Bai Zhou gently pinched the chubby little belly of the orange, somewhat speechless.
Orange's intention to stall for time is all too obvious...
"Um... I didn't delay, I was just too hungry... Why are you in such a hurry? I won't go back on my word..." Orange's little mouth was stuffed full, and she mumbled her excuse.
But her hot and flushed face had completely betrayed her.
Originally, she was actually thinking of facing it calmly, since she was used to it anyway.
But Bai Zhou's actions tonight made her realize that something was wrong...
Bai Zhou seems to be plotting more than just a little...
"Eat faster, it'll be my turn when you're done~" Bai Zhou pinched Ju Zi's little cheeks, gently blew on her ear, and whispered to urge her on.
"You've already eaten..." Orange said, looking aggrieved.
She's been so cooperative all day, but Bai Zhou is still pushing his luck. It's really too much!
"Not enough."
Bai Zhou shook his head slightly, his gaze towards the orange filled with intense aggression.
"No, no, you said we can't do this..." Orange shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.
Although her verbal attitude wasn't very forceful, her body was tense, not wanting to give Bai Zhou any opportunity.
"Okay, okay, I'll go take a shower first~"
Bai Zhou wasn't in a hurry, so he settled for second best, took a shower, and calmed himself down a bit.
"Hmm... it's just a bath. If you do anything else, I really won't talk to you anymore..." Orange's body trembled slightly as she weakly threatened Dao, clearly a little scared.
"Yeah, it definitely won't happen this time~" Bai Zhou assured Dao.
"You made the same promise last time..." Orange's delicate body trembled slightly, and she almost cried.
Bai Zhou's lack of assurances was actually a good thing; the more assurances he made, the more frightened she became.
"Ahem, this time it's definitely for real."
Bai Zhou coughed lightly, then carried the oranges into the bathroom.
...
...
Bai Zhou was very honest this time; he really didn't do anything, he just took a shower.
About ten minutes later.
Bai Zhou came out of the bathroom. Ju Zi, wrapped in a bath towel, hugged Bai Zhou's neck and clung to him.
Bai Zhou went upstairs to the second floor and entered Ju Zi's room.
As I opened the door, a unique fragrance wafted out, similar to the scent of oranges, but with slight differences.
Although the room was not large, it was very tidy and clean, and the overall layout and furnishings were orange. There were also several orange-shaped cushions of different sizes scattered on the headboard.
Bai Zhou gently placed Ju Zi on the bed, then pounced on top of her, looking into Ju Zi's eyes with a smile, and said, "Your bed is nice, I'll sleep here tonight."
"Go away... You have your own bed, and your room is bigger than mine..."
Orange reached out and tugged at Bai Zhou's face, pretending to be annoyed and trying to push him away.
However, I wasn't really against it.
After all, Bai Zhou had many opportunities in the bathroom, but he didn't do anything.
She also lowered her guard a little.
So even when she slept with Bai Zhou, she wasn't as scared anymore.
"Something is missing from my room, and I can't sleep peacefully."
Bai Zhou continued to stare intently into Ju Zi's eyes, a strange smile playing on his lips.
"What…what's missing…" Orange blushed, turned her head away, and didn't dare to meet Bai Zhou's eyes.
She really couldn't stand Bai Zhou's intensely aggressive gaze.
"It's so bad without you~"
Bai Zhou laughed, pulled the blanket over himself, and wrapped himself and Ju Zi together.
Then she applied orange-red lips.
"Hmm...~"
A few minutes later, the two parted ways.
Orange nestled in Bai Zhou's arms, breathing softly.
"Sister Ju Zi, you're so kind~"
Bai Zhou held the orange in his hand, gently inhaling its faint fragrance, a look of contentment on his face.
"Hmph, I've been so good to you, and you still think you can fool me..." Orange seemed to have thought of something, lightly pinching Bai Zhou, feigning a playful "Life Qi" gesture. Dao.
"Ah, I didn't...?" Bai Zhou was completely dumbfounded. He couldn't remember ever lying to Ju Zi...
Could it be that Orange discovered his history of affairs at Shrek Academy? That can't be that far-fetched...
"It's about your strength! You're definitely not the Spirit Emperor. How could the Spirit Emperor be as powerful as you! Tell me honestly, what is your strength?" Seeing that Bai Zhou was still pretending to be stupid, Orange suddenly felt a little angry.
"Oh, you mean that... I was afraid of scaring you by revealing my true strength, so I was a little conservative." Bai Zhou realized he had overthought things and quickly explained.
"Then... what is your current strength...?"
Upon hearing this, Orange cautiously pressed Dao for details.
Although it was a bit impolite to ask about someone's abilities, she couldn't help but ask, her heart pounding in her throat.
She was afraid that Bai Zhou would say something she couldn't accept...
"Not that strong, barely reaching Spirit Saint level." Bai Zhou shrugged.
"Soul... Spirit Saint!"
Orange's breath hitched; she was clearly utterly shocked.
The 15-year-old Spirit Saint, Bai Zhou's talent is terrifying! If Bai Zhou is allowed to grow up safely, he will surely stand at the top of the continent and crush everyone in the future!
"Wait...aren't you hiding something? It's not like I haven't seen Spirit Saint before. How could Spirit Saint have such a terrifying Aura like yours?" Orange suddenly realized something and continued to press Dao.
Bai Zhou's previous release of Aura was absolutely terrifying.
Moreover, those individual Blue Silver Grasses were like pillars supporting the sky.
What Spirit Saint could unleash such terrifying Spirit Ability?
Spirit Douluo is nothing special...
"I'm not lying to you this time. It's just that because I'm a twin spirit, I'm a little bit stronger than an ordinary Spirit Saint."
Bai Zhou attributed everything to Twin Spirits.
Anyway, the Sun Moon Empire has almost no knowledge of twin spirits, so they can say whatever they want.
"I see, Xiao Bai, you're amazing! Not only are you so talented in spirit tools, but you're also incredibly strong..."
Orange suddenly realized, and at the same time, her admiration and love for Bai Zhou reached an extreme.
Before meeting Bai Zhou, she actually thought Xu Tianran was handsome, powerful, and cunning.
Aside from lacking male capabilities, he is outstanding in every other aspect.
And then he met Bai Zhou...
She finally understood what a true Genius was! No, a monster!
She originally thought that Bai Zhou would need a long time to grow before he could help her.
Now it seems...
It's not Bai Zhou who needs to grow, but herself.
She still needs several more years of experience. By then, Bai Zhou might become Spirit Douluo, and might even have the fighting power of Titled Douluo!
With Bai Zhou's assistance and Xu Tianran's background, her status and authority in the military will definitely skyrocket.
Revenge against White Tiger Duke is just around the corner!
