Hu Liena's eyes were unfocused, her cheeks flushed as if she were drunk.
Her alluring body was displayed before Ao Tian, and she approached him step by step.
Ao Tian watched the scene with a smile.
The beautiful form before him was indeed captivating, and coupled with the seductive aura and teasing movements Hu Liena emitted, it would undoubtedly cause most men's blood to surge and their animal instincts to boil.
But Ao Tian knew that it was all fake. This was just an Illusion Realm created by Hu Liena; the person walking towards him was not Hu Liena herself.
"Break!" Ao Tian uttered softly, and Hu Liena, who had already approached him and whose jade arms were about to wrap around his body, suddenly shattered.
The red light in the room dissipated, and Hu Liena's flushed complexion turned pale, her aura becoming somewhat chaotic.
Her Illusion Realm soul skill being broken so roughly caused her to suffer a slight backlash.
She inadvertently glanced at Ao Tian's groin area, feeling somewhat disappointed that her strongest technique hadn't managed to expose even a small flaw in Mr. Ao.
Ao Tian walked over to Hu Liena and gently patted her shoulder, passing a trace of pure energy to her, restoring the color to her face.
"Not bad, you've improved a lot," Ao Tian praised.
Hu Liena said shyly, "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Ao. I will continue to work hard."
Ao Tian hummed in agreement, then said, "But in the future, don't use your body to seduce others in the Illusion Realm. Although it's not real, you're still at a disadvantage."
He knew that the illusions created by Hu Liena's soul skill could be of other women; there was no need for her to use her own image to seduce others.
Hu Liena's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Ao Tian. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz as she said, "Actually... I rarely use my own image when dealing with others. Even if I do, I won't let them see the key parts. Today, facing Mr. Ao, I was afraid you wouldn't be satisfied with my progress, so I used my strongest charm, letting you... letting you see..."
"Alright, that's enough," Ao Tian said, thinking that the Hu Liena in the books didn't seem this shy.
He stroked Hu Liena's smooth hair, and said gently, "You're practically my disciple. Using your illusion to tempt me... it's still a bit awkward. Don't do that again, understand?"
Hearing this from Ao Tian, Hu Liena felt her whole body grow hot, but she also felt a strange sense of loss.
"I understand, Teacher."
"Right, you can go back now."
After Hu Liena left, Ao Tian lay down on the chair.
I hope they don't start fighting, Ao Tian thought.
He considered using his Divine Sense to peek at what the two women were doing, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
He felt he should trust those two women; it was also a display of his own confidence.
Even if a fight broke out, he could reach the battlefield instantly.
Gu Yue Na's current strength should be greater than Bibi Dong's, but the gap wasn't huge.
Thinking of this, Ao Tian lay down, feeling at ease...
Beside the lotus pond, Gu Yue Na and the others stopped.
"Xiao Wu, go somewhere else for a while. Bibi Dong and I have some things we want to discuss privately," Gu Yue Na said.
"Oh," Xiao Wu responded.
Gu Yue Na and Bibi Dong walked towards the small pavilion in the center of the lotus pond.
Xiao Wu's big eyes were full of curiosity, and her ears twitched, wanting to eavesdrop on what Gu Yue Na and Bibi Dong would say.
Neither Gu Yue Na nor Bibi Dong spoke. They walked directly into the pavilion. Gu Yue Na glanced at Xiao Wu and casually set up a Barrier to block the sound.
"How annoying." Xiao Wu stomped her foot, helplessly squatting by the lotus pond, playing with the delicate lotus flowers.
Bibi Dong's powerful Divine Sense sensed the Barrier Gu Yue Na had set up. She was somewhat amazed; even with her current strength, she couldn't casually set up a sound-isolating Barrier like Gu Yue Na could.
"Gu Yue Na, why did you ask me to come out?" Bibi Dong asked.
Earlier, during the meal, Gu Yue Na had communicated with Bibi Dong through voice transmission, which was why Bibi Dong had found an excuse to bring Gu Yue Na out.
Bibi Dong was very curious. What matters couldn't Gu Yue Na discuss in front of Ao Tian?
At the same time, she was also a little wary, worried that Gu Yue Na might actually want to harm her.
After all, you can't know a person's heart just by looking at their face, especially when that person is a Soul Beast. Although she and Gu Yue Na had a certain affinity, they had only known each other for half a day.
Gu Yue Na looked at Bibi Dong in front of her, her eyes filled with admiration. "Bibi Dong, you're very good. You have a lot of courage. Knowing you might be attacked by me, you still dared to come out with me."
Bibi Dong smiled. "I trust you. You are as proud as I am, and you wouldn't use such despicable methods when facing a respectable opponent. At the same time, I also trust Ao Tian, and I trust his judgment."
Gu Yue Na suddenly sighed. "You are truly fortunate."
Bibi Dong's heart stirred, and she looked thoughtfully at Gu Yue Na, asking, "Why do you say that?"
Gu Yue Na revealed a brilliant smile, and the delicate lotuses in the entire lotus pond seemed to dim in comparison. She said, "Because I also like Ao Tian, very much."
So it was. Bibi Dong thought to herself. She chuckled softly. "Ao Tian is excellent. It's normal for you to like him. Does he know?"
Gu Yue Na said, "He knows, but he has never been willing to accept me. I think he refuses me because of you."
Bibi Dong's eyes turned cold, her gaze fixed on Gu Yue Na. "Are you saying these things to me today because you want me to leave Ao Tian? If that's the case, then we don't need to continue this conversation."
Gu Yue Na shook her head. "No, I don't want you to leave Ao Tian."
Bibi Dong frowned. "Then what's the purpose of you telling me all this?"
Gu Yue Na said, "I like Ao Tian, and I don't mind him having other women. I'm being honest with you today because I hope you can accept me, allowing me to become another woman in Ao Tian's life."
Bibi Dong was stunned. After a long moment, she asked in surprise, "With your status and pride, how can you be willing to share a man with other women?"
Gu Yue Na said, "Our Soul Beast world isn't as complicated as yours. It's normal for a powerful man to have multiple wives, isn't it? Moreover, he's so outstanding. I think it's difficult for any woman to ignore his charm."
Bibi Dong glanced at Xiao Wu, who was playing with lotus flowers on the shore, and said, "So, you're not the only one who likes him, right? There's also her."
Gu Yue Na nodded. "Yes, Xiao Wu likes him too."
"So, are you willing to accept me? And Xiao Wu," she asked.
Bibi Dong sneered and said, "I've known Ao Tian for over twenty years. He's mine, and I will never share him with another woman!"
With that, she ignored Gu Yue Na and walked straight out of the pavilion.
"What if he likes me too? Since you love him so much, don't you care about his feelings?" Gu Yue Na called out from behind her.
Bibi Dong paused, said nothing, and continued walking, leaving the area.
Xiao Wu stood up, looking bewildered at Gu Yue Na who was walking over, and asked, "Sister Na'er, did you two fight?"
Gu Yue Na nodded, sighing.
Xiao Wu said anxiously, "Didn't I tell you to get along with her? You've only known her for a short time, and you've already fought with her."
"I can't hold it in anymore," Gu Yue Na said.
"..." Xiao Wu didn't know what to say.
She pulled Gu Yue Na and ran back, saying, "Let's go back quickly. It wouldn't be good if she told Ao Tian."
