Chapter 255 Double, Triple, and Quadruple Sandwich Cookies
The noisy sounds vanished in an instant—
At close range, Lian Zhuo could even see Hua Li's trembling eyelashes... the faint blush on her face caused by the wine... and the sudden contraction of his pupils in her hazy, watery eyes.
There seemed to be the sound of wine glasses shattering around them, but Huali ignored it, only tilting her head and softly calling, "Lianzhuo."
“…I’m here.” Lian Zhuo’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.
Did you submit my painting to the Xianbo offline store in Tianlan City before?
Karin asked curiously, "When? How come I didn't know?"
Lian Zhuo opened his mouth to answer silently, but Hua Li noticed the lotus pattern on his brow changing color first.
Huali exclaimed "Huh?" and, starting with zero frames, gently pressed down on it. "Why is it turning red here?"
Lian Zhuo's body stiffened, and the warm, smooth Bodhi bead string in her hand quietly slipped from her fingertips.
Huali's attention was diverted to the important matter, and she stopped asking about the spirit stones. Instead, she frowned and asked worriedly, "Your...that...it's acting up again?"
The Buddhist monk looked at the affectionate concern in the girl's eyes, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
The echo of "not to overcome tribulation, but to fear oneself" still lingered on his lips, yet his heart could no longer remain calm.
Her blood boiled like magma, and Lian Zhuo used all her strength to barely keep her voice normal, "...It's alright, if the day comes that I can't control myself..."
"fine."
Huali interrupted Lianzhuo, her almond-shaped eyes crinkling as she whispered in his ear, "I already have a plan..."
A light, intimate breath brushed against my ear, bringing a subtle tickle.
Seeing that Renju's neck twitched slightly, Huali quickly pressed down on his shoulder, "I have a gift to give you... Hey hey hey!"
Just then—
A cold, oppressive atmosphere suddenly descended upon them.
Wen Jin, who had appeared out of nowhere, suddenly wrapped his pale but strong hand around Hua Li's waist.
The Demon Lord's face was gloomy enough to freeze one's bones, and the way he lifted Huali up with one arm carried an undeniable determination.
But when it actually landed on the girl, it was so light, as if afraid of breaking a precious treasure, with a hint of indescribable repression in its carefulness.
Before Huali could react, her back had already crashed into Wen Jin's broad but cold chest.
"Huali," Wen Jin said without turning his head, dispersing the attacks behind him. His tall figure enveloped the girl in his shadow, like a dragon guarding the flower in his heart. He said in a hoarse voice, "You... can only see him?"
Huali stirred, but Wen Jin held her firmly in his arms. "Eh? But I can't turn around like this."
Wen Jin's pale golden eyes were fixed on Hua Li, his gaze incredibly complex.
There is a sinister possessiveness, an unfathomable longing, and a hidden, almost humble yearning beneath the surface.
And behind the two of them—
Lian Zhuo's hand, which was suspended in mid-air and was about to support Hua Li, froze completely.
In an instant, the lotus pattern on his forehead seemed to break free of its shackles, emitting a faint red light.
"Buzz—"
A buzzing sound that only he could hear exploded, and an extremely domineering cold current rushed in like a ferocious beast about to break free of its cage.
Lian Zhuo suddenly looked up.
Those eyes, which were originally filled with shock and elegance, were instantly covered by a pure and intense lust in a fraction of a second.
In just a moment!
Lian Zhuo immediately sat cross-legged, made a hand seal with her two fingers, and forcefully suppressed it.
But this time the blood curse struck so fiercely that he was temporarily overwhelmed.
Feeling the arms holding her loosen a little, Huali immediately turned around in Wen Jin's arms and answered his question.
"Of course not, I was planning to ask you second." Huali looked at him. "Now let me ask, you also invested money in my photos."
Wen Jin didn't care about the photo at all. The gloom and inferiority he had kept hidden in his heart since Tianlan City erupted the moment Hua Li took the initiative to go to Lian Zhuo.
In the city of Sunset, where dusk lingers year-round, no matter how much effort is poured into nurturing, not a single flower can be grown. This is in stark contrast to the vibrant life that comes with her presence.
His "childhood" was an endless cycle of killing and devouring. The law of the jungle prevailed among demons, and they would stop at nothing to get what they wanted.
But... no one ever told him how to grow a flower properly.
Now, meeting the girl's smiling eyes, Wen Jin paused for a moment, then suddenly buried his face in Hua Li's neck.
The scent of moss and damp cedar wood was like a continuous summer rain brushing against the fair skin of the rosewood tree, making her involuntarily shiver.
Although the alcohol dulled her senses, she could still instinctively sense that Wen Jin was sad.
In this pleasant and relaxed atmosphere...
He was the only one who didn't fit in.
Hua Li struggled slightly in Wen Jin's arms, but didn't pull away. Instead, she reached out and gently cupped his face in her hands. "Wen Jin, don't let go..."
"laugh--"
The girl's actions at that moment were like sparks thrown into boiling oil, instantly igniting the anger and jealousy of the onlookers.
A rich, exotic fragrance swept over without warning, and the fluffy, soft fox tail, shimmering like a huge moonlight, precisely encircled Huali's wrist, which was holding Wen Jin's face.
Not only did it interrupt the girl's words of comfort, but the snow-white tail tip, with a seemingly insignificant scratching motion, suddenly robbed Karin's arm of all its freedom.
Immediately afterwards, a hot, firm, and aggressive chest pressed against Huali's back without any gap.
Together with Wen Jin's chest in front of him, they formed a pincer attack of ice and fire from both the front and the back.
Karin felt even more dizzy.
Before she could even process what was wrong with the sandwich cookie, Luo Chuan's arm had already forcefully squeezed through the gap in Wen Jin's arm and tightly wrapped around Hua Li's soft waist.
The Demon King leaned down slightly, his chin carrying an undeniable provocation, and bumped into the other side of Huali's neck.
Luo Chuan's thin lips were almost touching the girl's throbbing pulse. His voice, elegant and languid yet laced with both ice and honey, sent chills down one's spine, "Little Pear... you're a bit drunk... be careful not to get taken advantage of by bad guys..."
The vulnerability in Wen Jin's eyes was instantly replaced by a violent crimson!
The moment the palm struck, Luo Chuan raised his hand to counterattack, and at the same time, his snow-white fox tail wrapped around Hua Li, completely enveloping her in the fox tail.
The tip of its tail affectionately nuzzled the little girl's face.
Karin instantly recognized it as the Eighth Tails and immediately buried her face in it in response, nuzzling against it.
Luo Chuan's body stiffened almost imperceptibly, but his gaze was like a poisoned ice blade, piercing straight into Wen Jin's pale gold pupils burning with destruction.
A storm was brewing—
"Certainly."
A clear, resounding voice, like the melting snow of a mountain spring, carrying an undeniable and absolute pressure, rang out.
Words become law.
With just one word, Luo Chuan and Wen Jin froze on the spot.
Extremely cold, extremely violent, and pure killing intent, without any impurities, shattered like a rift in an abyss in Yan Xi's blue eyes.
The timid curve of his lips transformed into a cold and cruel malice, his tone contemptuous:
"You dare touch her?"
Just as Karin sensed the risk of being pulled away again, she decided to strike first.
It walked straight out of the fox tail and strolled over to Yan Xi's side.
Seeing Huali approach, Yanxi's murderous intent immediately transformed into a gentle, undercurrent-like warmth, softly enveloping the girl within the range of his aura.
Despite the lingering murderous intent in his heart, Yan Xi's movements as gentle as if he were protecting a fragile pearl as he held Hua Li's hand. "My little benefactor, it seems we should change the name of this 'loving family' group chat..."
Yan Xi gently brushed his hand on Hua Li's shoulder to remove the disgusting smell, and then, under the murderous gazes of Luo Chuan and Wen Jin, deliberately lowered his head and whispered in Hua Li's ear.
"Karin, I'll take care of them for you... okay?"
The alluring, cold fragrance of the deep-sea merman wafted over, and Huali, whose mind was in a mess due to the disturbance from several people, raised her face and nodded.
"OK."
Those two short words exploded like a thunderclap in the deep sea in Yan Xi's heart, which was bleeding with hatred!
His deep blue pupils first contracted suddenly, then burst forth with astonishing brilliance!
The two were on completely different wavelengths. Huali waved to Yanxi, "I came to find you because I have a brilliant idea."
This was something she thought of when she saw Yan Xi speaking earlier.
Hua Li deliberately moved closer to him, her smile exactly the same as when they first met in Jiangling City.
An ominous premonition was creeping in, but Yan Xi had no time to pay attention to it at the moment.
The girl in front of me was right in front of me.
He only needed to peek out to kiss Huali's lips.
Having clearly realized this, Yan Xi's deep blue pupils gradually darkened.
He was like a madman who sensed the existence of a god, bewitched and seduced by invisible threads—unable to resist the urge to desecrate and possess.
He belongs to her, and she can only belong to him!
As a glint of desire flashed in his eyes, Yan Xi lowered his head without hesitation...
