2580 Side Story 84: First Meeting
After a long night, Chu Liuyue couldn’t even remember when she fell asleep.

Her last memory was that she seemed to have been pulled into a warm and spacious embrace. Even in her sleep, she seemed to be able to smell the faint cold fragrance.

She was exhausted, and her entire body was soft. She curled up in his arms and rested her forehead gently on his chest.

Her black hair spread out in a soft and slightly cold manner.

She closed her eyes, and her thick and long eyelashes were still sparkling.

Rong Xiu was satisfied, but he wasn’t tired. He stopped her with one hand and grabbed her hand with the other, kissing her slender and fair fingers bit by bit.

Chu Liuyue could vaguely feel the scorching temperature on her fingertips. Her body moved slightly, but she didn’t even have the strength to raise her hand.

She could only grunt lightly.

It was unknown if she was awake or dreaming as she muttered softly.

Rong Xiu didn’t hear her clearly, so he leaned in closer. “Yue’er?”

His lips landed on her neck again.

Chu Liuyue shrunk slightly. This time, her voice was finally clearer. “…Why don’t you… give in to me…”

Her voice was vague and soft, as if she was babbling in her dreams. However, there was also a hint of grievance as if she were wheedling. It was soft and sweet, especially charming.

Rong Xiu’s body stiffened. Seeing her so tired that she couldn’t open her eyes, his heart ached.

After a while, he couldn’t help but chuckle. “Aren’t I already giving in to you?”

Chu Liuyue was in a daze, and it was unknown if she had heard him. She snuggled into his arms and gently bit his chest, as if to vent her anger.

Rong Xiu’s arm around her waist instantly tightened, and his phoenix-like eyes were extremely dark.

Chu Liuyue instinctively felt that it was dangerous. She immediately moved backward, and her face flushed red.

Rong Xiu went over to kiss her ear and clenched his teeth. “I think you’re not asleep?”

As he spoke, he used some strength.

Chu Liuyue felt the pain and finally opened her eyes. There seemed to be endless shards of light rippling in her intermediate eyes that were filled with mist. They were warm and watery, and one look at them was alluring.

Originally, Rong Xiu was just teasing her, but now that she looked at him, he instantly regretted it.

He stared at her.

Chu Liuyue realized something as she blinked and complained after a while, “…I was already asleep. You woke me up.”

Rong Jiu took a deep breath in. “Don’t sleep anymore.”

He walked forward, smiled, and said, “Didn’t you say just now that I didn’t give in to you? Then, I’ll learn to change it this time. What do you think?”

Chu Liuyue glared at him angrily, but it was a pity that it didn’t pose much of a threat.

She held it in for a while before saying slowly, “…Do you still need to learn this? Weren’t you very good at it back in the academy?”

She was talking about her days at Ling Xiao Academy.

Rong Xiu was dazed for a moment and didn’t expect her to suddenly bring this up.

In the end, his heart still ached for her. He didn’t plan to really let her tire herself out again. When he heard this, he stopped what he was doing and raised his hand to gently rub her hair.

“At that time, it wasn’t all for you.” Rong Xiu thought for a moment, as if he were recalling something. He spoke slowly, his low and hoarse voice carrying a few hints of deep smiling intent.

Chu Liuyue grabbed the clothes in front of his chest and unwittingly stirred it. Upon hearing this, she lightly grunted. “You don’t have to coax me. Even the High Priest knows that you were giving in to me.”

It wasn’t like she didn’t know Rong Xiu’s abilities.

However, Rong Xiu shook his head and explained seriously for once, “At the same cultivation level, you did beat me many times.”

Chu Liuyue looked up in shock. “Really?”
“Of course.” Rong Xiu laughed.

To protect her identity, he had been hiding his aura very well. Unless it was a special situation, he was basically no different from an ordinary student normally.

“When I entered the academy, I just broke through to become a demigod. Don’t you know best?” said Rong Xiu lightly as he flicked a strand of her hair.

Chu Liuyue’s thoughts drifted away with his words, and she recalled many things from back then. After a long silence, she said in a low voice, “Yes, when you entered the academy, you were indeed only a demigod. However, you broke through to become a true god on the second day of school. Did you forget?”

This incident directly shocked the entire Ling Xiao Academy. From then on, not only did Rong Xiu become famous in one battle, but she also became famous.

This was because… Seriously speaking, Rong Xiu breaking through to become a true god had quite a bit to do with her.

Rong Xiu seemed to have thought of something. Then, he couldn’t help but smile and kiss her. “Yue’er, you can’t kick someone to the curb when they’ve outlived their usefulness, right? If it weren’t for you, I planned to break through to become a true god after I graduated from Ling Xiao Academy.”

Chu Liuyue smiled and gently poked his chest. “Yeah. At that time, I thought that I was really lucky.”

At that time, she had just ended her training at the Red Moon Desert and was sent to the God Residence Realm by Dugu Mobao and the rest using special methods.

At that time, even though she was young, she was very gutsy. Even if she was alone, she wasn’t afraid at all and went to Ling Xiao Academy according to the instructions of Dugu Mobao and the rest.

But in the God Residence Realm, someone like her was clearly a moving target that was waiting to be slaughtered. She quickly attracted many attacks.

Luckily, she met Rong Xiu.

The young man was also alone. He was cold and arrogant, but he had extremely high combat strength.

Hence, the two of them hit it off and joined forces.

After settling the trouble, the two of them were already exhausted. They simply rested in the messy and bloody arena.

The two of them surrounded the bonfire, and the hot fire burned brightly. In the cold night, it was especially warm.

Her body was still stained with blood, but she didn’t seem to care. She turned to look at the young man in snow-white clothes sitting beside her.

She had never seen such a noble and beautiful face, as if it contained all the colors in the world.

Sensing her gaze, he also looked over. His phoenix-like eyes were as thick as the sea, reflecting her small figure.

They stared at each other.

Her face slowly heated up.

After a long time, she asked, “Where are you going next?”

That young man didn’t answer immediately and asked in return, “What about you?”

His voice was cold and melodious.

They were clearly strangers, but she had inexplicably dispelled all her wariness and alertness. She seemed to have forgotten the warnings before she set off, and she honestly said, “I’m going to Ling Xiao Academy.”

Then, she saw the young man’s lips curl up slightly.

“What a coincidence. Me too.”
