Chapter 263 Huali's Room: Hide and Seek (Part 1)
People are in high spirits when they have good things to do, and Huali was about to divide up the spoils of war with Tang Wanwan halfway through the journey.
However, he was met with several disdainful looks from Wanwan.
Her exact words were: "What treasures haven't I seen? I don't want her shabby stuff. You too, just tell me what you want and I'll have my dad buy it for you."
Huali gave a thumbs up: "Rich and willful!"
Ao Bai immediately jumped onto her head obsequiously, meowing, "Meow meow meow meow." (Don't give it to me.)
Tang Wanwan can now skillfully guess cat language. "You want it? Then take it."
"I also have some top-quality jars; I'll open one for you in a bit."
Thus, the man and the cat obtained several spoils.

After a busy day, Ms. Hua reluctantly took off her little dress.
I first went to the hot spring room for a relaxing hot bath, and then snuggled into bed, announcing the official start of my vacation.
With the water-type card quest still a long way off, she needs to focus all her efforts on preparing for Singles' Day and Yunshang Yinyu.
Of course, before that, we need to remove the blood curse from Lian Zhuo.
When is the best time to ask? And are there any side effects? After all, a bird's beak can be deceiving.
Never mind, let's take the dragon pearl to Lian Zhuo first...
As she thought about it, Huali's eyelids grew heavier and heavier...

The moonlight, as clear as frost, flowed silently in through the cracks in the carved wooden window.
Rosewood's long, dark hair was scattered on the pillow, with a few strands clinging to her forehead. Her sleeping face looked exceptionally serene in the moonlight.
The room was so quiet that only her soft breathing and the occasional night breeze passing by outside the window could be heard.
In the midst of complete silence, a faint, cool fragrance suddenly appeared in the room.
The slender shadows silently gathered, rose, and outlined Wen Jin's cold and upright figure. He stood by the bed, almost blending into the darkness, only his melancholy eyes greedily and restrainedly tracing the sleeping girl on the bed.
Huali's words at dusk stirred up a dark tide in his heart. Amidst his anxiety and uncertainty, a strong desire surged within Wen Jin like magma.
I want to touch it, I want to caress it, I want to possess it.
Wen Jin approached Hua Li almost as if bewitched, his nose just inches away from her cheek, and he could even feel the warmth of her sleeping face.
However, at that moment, his movements suddenly froze.
An extremely subtle, exotic aura emanated from it, like invisible threads.
Someone's there!
Wen Jin's pupils contracted. He wanted to see who dared to barge into Hua Li's room!
The Demon Lord stood up with lightning speed, his massive figure retreating with incredible agility, disappearing directly into the shadows behind the bed.
The moment Wen Jin finished concealing his aura, the window frame made a barely audible creak.
A figure glided in like moonlight itself, its toes barely touching the ground without disturbing a speck of dust.
Luo Chuan, his heterochromatic eyes hidden beneath the mask, now suppressed his nonchalant smile, walked to the bedside, leaned down slightly, and looked intently at Hua Li.
Could the important thing that must be done be related to cards?
Luo Chuan sighed softly. His little girl had too many secrets. Now that the little hedgehog had finally revealed her soft little belly, how could he learn more without angering her?
Luo Chuan shook his head helplessly, his gaze falling on Hua Li's slightly parted lips, his eyes darkening, "You've troubled me so much, you should give me some reward."
Luo Chuan leaned forward slightly, bringing his lips closer to Hua Li's.
When there was only a sliver of hope left, he suddenly stopped moving.
The exotic fragrance emanating from Huali's cheek instantly made Luo Chuan's pupils narrow to pinpoints, but he didn't have a chance to confirm it further, as a third aura quietly descended.
A fierce glint flashed in Luo Chuan's eyes. He wanted to see who dared to break into Xiao Huali's room!
The demon king's body, like a red leaf blown by the wind, spun lightly and silently fell into the shadows behind the bed.
then--
Suddenly, I bumped into a pair of pale gold eyes that were right in front of me, burning with the same rage!
Warmth!
Luochuan!
In the stagnant air, a very faint scent of seawater appeared without any warning.
Yan Xi's figure appeared silently by the bedside, like a bubble under the moonlight. His long, silver-blue hair flowed with a soft light as he stared intently at Hua Li.
Little liar.
If I had known I would see so many awful things after coming out, I would have preferred to stay in the Cangming Sea.
His biggest regret now is that he left the Book of the Goddess of the Luo River in the Ruins of Starfall. On the day of the sacrifice, his memories returned, and after using his Word of Power to kill the Sea King and Sea Queen, he also suffered the backlash from the Abyss of Realms.
Seriously injured.
He had no intention of taking the Book of the Goddess of the Luo River, but at that time the Cangming Sea was ownerless, and only Guanlan could hold it up.
Guanlan's cultivation level was only at the Nascent Soul stage; a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.
Given the circumstances, leaving the Book of Luo Shen in the Cangming Sea would have been tantamount to annihilation, but he was too weak, so he had no choice but to throw it into a place that no one could easily enter—the Ruins of Starfall.
I never expected that an unconscious action would attract so many people, and I would be forced to live under the same roof as these people.
"Rosewood..." A silent sigh echoed in Yan Xi's heart. He slowly leaned down, his fingertips no longer feigning probing, but carrying an indescribable longing.
He wanted to touch the delicate, jade-like collarbone beneath her slightly open collar.
Just as my fingertips were about to feel that warmth—
"Squeak—"
The sound of the door being pushed open made Yan Xi stop abruptly.
Someone actually came to Hanako's room at this hour?! He'd like to see who this person was!
Yan Xi suddenly transformed into a stream of moonlight and flew towards the shadows behind the bed.
The next second, he unexpectedly squeezed between Wen Jin and Luo Chuan.
Yan Xi: "!"
The three men were all tall and imposing, their bodies barely enveloped by the shadow of the bed. As a cold and silent warning spread, Shen Yu entered, carrying the lingering scent of night dew.
"Hualin, are you asleep?" His tall ponytail swayed slightly with his brisk strides. "I have some hangover pills here, you..." Noticing Huali's deep breathing, Shen Yu quietly softened his movements.
He walked to the bedside and looked at Huali sleeping soundly, his heart softening. Being a young man at heart, the sight of their fingers intertwined tonight brought a smile to Shen Yu's eyes.
Shen Yu slowly leaned forward and pressed his lips to Hua Li's forehead. "Goodnight, Hua Li."
However, the next second, several extremely sharp warnings came without warning.
As Shen Yu's hair stood on end, he suddenly looked up.
Before he could react, a wisp of sandalwood incense wafted in from outside the door.
Shen Yu frowned. This smell? Lian Zhuo came to see Hua Li so late at night?
Without thinking twice, he dashed into the shadows behind the bed.
However, before he could even squeeze in, he was confronted by three gloomy and violent faces!
"hiss--"
Shen Yu gasped.
It was too late to leave. While he hesitated, the three people in the shadows reached out at the same time and pulled Shen Yu inside.
The door was silently pushed open again, and a Buddhist monk dressed in plain white robes stood quietly at the doorway.
