Chapter 0: Ao Ai
“You… you impudent girl, what nonsense are you spouting? Cough, hurry up and do what you’re supposed to do!”
“You want me to go out? Everyone else can, but only Banwei has to stand outside as punishment. That’s too much bullying!”
Although she said that, Little White Dragon’s steps were incredibly light and carefree.
The corner of Qin Gou’s mouth twitched. Thinking about it carefully, she always wins, no matter what.
Seeing Little White Dragon leave the cave dwelling, Luo Wei Ban continued, “Since that’s settled, shall we truly begin?”
“Begin what? I don’t agree!” Qin Gou said quickly.
“Then why did you agree to what happened with Gong Wumeng?” Luo Wei Ban asked.
Qin Gou said helplessly, “Because Wumeng herself had that intention.”
“Then the Little Saint Monarch next, she will too.”
“How is that possible?”
“You don’t believe me?”
As soon as her voice fell, the space beside Luo Wei Ban flickered with radiance, and another person appeared.
This seemed to be a Little Saint Monarch Qin Gou had never seen before. Her golden eyes were full of authority, but apart from that, there wasn’t the slightest trace of dragon race features. Therefore, she was definitely not Banwei. Moreover, her demeanor and bearing were utterly arrogant, as if she didn’t take anyone in the world seriously.
Immediately after, Qin Gou saw Luo Wei Ban’s own figure become thin, finally transforming into a white light and entering the golden-eyed Little Saint Monarch’s forehead.
“Who exactly are you?” Qin Gou asked, completely bewildered.
“Just a silly fool. We’ve been together day and night for so many years, and an old friend doesn’t recognize me? I’ve doted on you for nothing!”
The golden-eyed Little Saint Monarch’s voice was crisp and clear, with a hint of arrogance.
“Have we met before?” Qin Gou asked, very confused.
“Nonsense, you, you’ve finally waited until today for this Miss!” The golden-eyed Little Saint Monarch said triumphantly, “Qin Gou, just watch how I’ll mess with you and get it done!”
“What?”
“My name is Ao Ai!”
Before her words could even finish, a fair small fist directly struck Qin Gou’s forehead fiercely.
However, how could she be Qin Gou’s opponent? In an instant, Qin Gou easily slapped away her small hand.
“It’s you?”
“Why can’t it be me? Don’t tell me you thought that once we unified, all of us residual soul/emotion fragments would disappear? Hehehe, now, I too have my own Dao Body and have become a true living being… Take this!”
Saying that, Ao Ai got onto the bed and slapped again.
“What exactly do you want to do?” Qin Gou blocked again and questioned, “Why do you keep ambushing me like this?”
“Exactly, let’s all happily cultivate together, come on, Qin Gou, tie yourself up first.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” The corner of Qin Gou’s mouth twitched. Ao Ai, that silly idiot, using the same trick that Little White Dragon just used, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?
“You’re asking for a beating!” Ao Ai pounced, revealing a pair of small fangs and opening her mouth as if to bite.
“I think you’re the one asking for a beating!”
For a moment, it wasn’t a lovers’ embrace, but a brawl between the two.
“You… you crazy woman, if you want to fight, fight, why are you pulling my clothes?”
“Who wants to fight? This is called love!”
“Go to hell.”
“Go to hell yourself! Come here and kiss me.”
“Who do you think you are? You definitely want to bite my tongue on purpose.”
“Coward.”
“What did you say?”
“You’re afraid to even kiss this Miss, aren’t you just a cowardly wretch?”
“Cough…”
“You, what are you doing? Get it straight, this Miss is talking about kissing, a peck on the lips, your lips! Help, Lord Saint Monarch, save me!”
…
Early morning.
Qin Gou glanced at the person sleeping beside him; she was still ‘Ao Ai’. To be honest, just looking at this adorably sleeping face, no one could imagine what a crazy woman this girl actually was. Of course, in matters of great importance, Ao Ai was quite reliable. In guiding Qin Gou and helping Nine Saint Monarch revive, she had made great contributions. It was just in terms of her taste in intimacy that she was truly insane.
After a while, Ao Ai also opened her eyes. And at this moment, Ao Ai first glanced at Qin Gou, and then, for no apparent reason, two lines of clear tears flowed from her eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Qin Gou asked, confused.
“After today’s farewell, I don’t know when I’ll be able to see you, this Qin dog, again. My heart is troubled,” Ao Ai sobbed softly.
“Unbelievable.” Qin Gou held his forehead. Ao Ai, Ao Ai, the ‘Ao’ (arrogance) is over, and now the ‘Ai’ (sorrow) has taken over.
“If you want to see me, can’t you see me every day?” Qin Gou said helplessly.
“This is different.”
“Then, as long as you explain the reason, won’t Luo Wei Ban naturally let you appear when you want to appear?” Qin Gou continued to ask.
“Lord Saint Monarch, that is indeed the case.”
“Then why are you crying so sadly?” Qin Gou was ashamed. “If people didn’t know, they’d think it was a farewell for life and death.”
Ao Ai choked, “But no matter what, we won’t be able to see each other for at least several days.”
“Then why don’t you just tell Luo Wei Ban directly that you want to stay outside for these few days?”
Ao Ai paused, “It seems… I can.”
“Then why are you still crying?” Qin Gou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“You, don’t keep interrupting me.”
“Okay.”
“It’s possible, but don’t forget, Lord Saint Monarch is still in the recovery period. If I don’t unify, I’ll just be causing trouble.”
Saying that, Ao Ai slowly brought her pretty face closer to Qin Gou. Ao Ai wiped away her tears, her eyes shyly saying, “So, don’t say anything else, Qin dog… no, my dear, I want you to, for the last time, truly kiss me.”
Qin Gou had absolutely not expected that this girl had been thinking about this all along. His tone instantly softened, “Alright. But… there’s just one thing, with my protective spiritual power, you won’t be able to bite me hard enough to hurt me.”
“Hmph!!”
“Good heavens, you really are unconvinced!”
“Nonsense!” In an instant, the tear marks on Ao Ai’s face were directly removed by spiritual power. Gritting her silver teeth, she said, “Qin dog, wait and see, I’ll properly tease you until you cry for your mama next time!”
“It seems you don’t know that the time I agreed to with Luo Wei Ban is still quite far off. Next time? You can’t go anywhere now.”
“Wh-what… Wuwah.”
“Crying again? Not good, if you keep crying, you’ll go back to being arrogant and crazy. I must shut you up.”
“Wuw… Mmph?!”
Ao Ai’s eyes widened. This sudden, unexpected, and genuine kiss caused her desperately kicking little feet, and her always rollercoaster-like emotions, to instantly quiet down.
“You didn’t really bite?” Qin Gou asked with a smile afterward.
Ao Ai immediately turned her blushing little face away. “That’s just you being unreasonably suspicious. I already told you, this Miss is actually a very kind and easy-to-get-along-with person.”
The corner of Qin Gou’s mouth twitched. “I admit, among all the mad people, you are indeed the cutest one.”
“Qin dog!! I’m going to write this Miss’s glorious name on your face!”
Like a charging knight, regardless of whether the obstacle in front of her was a windmill or a real dragon, Ao Ai was never discouraged and never gave up… She once again launched a doomed-to-seek-trouble offensive against Qin Gou.
