Regardless of the specific changes in cultivation level, the influence of the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Soul on Zhu Li's temperament and appearance was clearly greater than he had anticipated!
Zhu Li felt uncomfortable under his gaze, but upon hearing such praise, she puffed out her cheeks and huffed, "So... does that mean I wasn't pretty before..."
Faced with this typical question, which carried the hint of a young girl's teasing, Shen Yunhao just chuckled and didn't answer directly. He just quietly lay on the table, his gaze fixed on Zhu Li's face, his eyes gentle and focused.
It was as if they were admiring a rare treasure that they had painstakingly raised and brought to maturity, filled with satisfaction and pride.
Seeing that he didn't answer her question but instead stared at her with the kind of look a father gives his daughter, Zhu Li glared at him angrily and immediately covered his eyes with her hand. "What are you looking at! You brat, you're not allowed to look!"
Shen Yunhao seized the small hand and pressed it tightly against his cheek, feeling the cool, delicate touch, a lazy smile on his face:
"We've been married for so long, can't we even look at each other?"
"Who...who said we're an old married couple!" Zhu Li's face turned bright red, and she immediately adopted the older sister's stance, reaching out her other hand to pinch his ear. "I'm your older sister!"
Since the two had a real relationship in Beihai, and since the little white dragon got hooked and completely let loose, Shen Yunhao hadn't heard this signature phrase from Zhuli for a long time.
Now that she has merged with the Ancestral Dragon's Sacred Soul, her temperament has changed drastically. When she said those words again, Shen Yunhao found them to have a unique flavor, a strange and endearing contrast.
"Okay, okay! You're my sister!"
Shen Yunhao didn't argue with her, and instead breathed a sigh of relief.
He had some concerns that fusing with the Ancestral Dragon's Sacred Soul might have some unknown impact on Zhu Li's temperament, making her feel unfamiliar.
Looking at it now, apart from his appearance and temperament, he is still the same silly little white dragon as before, and his essence has not changed at all!
He said "You are my sister" but his actions were quite the opposite. Before he finished speaking, he took the woman's hand and pulled her up from the stool opposite him with a soft cry from Zhuli, and easily held her in his arms.
The familiar warmth and softness filled my arms.
Just like before, it's soft and cuddly to hold, with amazing elasticity and just the right amount of plumpness, like holding a big, soft, and glutinous piece of meat that you don't want to let go of.
"Hey! You..."
The blushing little white dragon struggled symbolically in the boy's arms for a couple of moments, but eventually became a little tipsy in that familiar and comforting atmosphere. The strength of its struggle quickly dissipated, and it lay softly in Shen Yunhao's arms without moving.
The process of fusing with the Ancestral Dragon's Holy Soul was extremely long; she had been asleep for more than half a year.
She had just woken up to the news that Shen Yunhao was being chased and his fate was unknown. She rushed over with great concern. Now that she was finally being held in his arms, she only wanted to hold him tighter and didn't want to break free.
"Anyway... anyway, I've already given him a beating! I can't be too harsh on my younger brother. Letting him hug me a little bit won't hurt..."
The little white dragon thought to himself...
Shen Yunhao didn't need to go to great lengths to find excuses to coax her; she successfully coaxed herself.
This is Zhu Li, the simple and easy-going little white dragon who always regards Shen Yunhao as his dearest and most beloved.
After lying in Shen Yunhao's arms for a while, Zhu Li pouted her pink lips, "Hmph! All you do is bully me... I should have sent that brat Ning Yuyao over! Let her teach you a lesson!"
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned Ning Yuyao, but once she did, Shen Yunhao felt a headache coming on, as if he could already see those pairs of resentful eyes amidst the snow falling all over the Guanghan Palace.
This wasn't the first or second time he'd angered Ning Yuyao, but this was the most serious one yet.
Add to that Guan Yingying and Nie Qingshuang by her side... getting everyone in Qingyou Palace, and even those in Guanghan Palace, to calm down completely is a daunting task...
Suppressing his chaotic thoughts, Shen Yunhao gently stroked Zhu Li's smooth, silky white hair and said in a low voice, "How could I dare to bully Sister Li'er? I'm just trying to apologize to her properly!"
"An apology?" Zhu Li looked up, giving him a suspicious glare, her gaze sweeping over his empty hands and body. "Where's your apology? It looks to me... um..."
Taking advantage of the moment she looked up, Shen Yunhao quickly lowered his head and precisely captured her pink lips, silencing all her subsequent questions.
When our lips met, the first taste was an indescribable sweetness and softness, as if we were instantly tasting the most delicious and intoxicating candied fruit in the world.
Zhu Li's cheeks flushed instantly, and her body stiffened slightly, but she quickly relaxed and got into the zone.
Her long eyelashes trembled gently like butterfly wings before slowly drooping down. Her hands, involuntarily and with a touch of dependence, wrapped around the back of Shen Yunhao's head, pulling him closer with a slight effort.
She was a little glutton to begin with, and being fed so directly like this made her head spin and go blank. She couldn't care less about her sister's modesty anymore.
They kissed until both of them were flushed, breathing rapidly, and the person in his arms was weak all over before Shen Yunhao reluctantly released his lips.
Seeing the little white dragon unconsciously smacking its lips like a child, looking adorably like it hadn't had enough, Shen Yunhao couldn't help but chuckle.
Whose older sister is this... isn't she still a baby who needs to be loved?
"So... is this enough to make amends?"
Seeing the wicked smile on Shen Yunhao's lips, Zhuli immediately snapped out of her daze and said angrily, "You brat! You got the benefit and you're still acting innocent... What kind of apology is this?"
However, when she said this, her eyes always seemed to drift away, lacking confidence, and she dared not meet his gaze. Her voice also grew softer and softer, which was obviously not very convincing.
"This... doesn't count?"
Shen Yunhao pretended to ponder for a moment, his gaze becoming increasingly profound, "Then... how about this?"
Shen Yunhao didn't make any obvious move, but Zhu Li's eyes widened immediately, and her pale purple eyes quickly filled with a layer of watery light.
She bit her lip, but finally raised her hand and gently slapped away Shen Yunhao's mischievous hand.
"Okay, okay! You win, alright? Stop...stop messing around!"
Shen Yunhao smiled and pulled the girl into his arms, holding her tightly, his chin gently brushing against the top of her head, which exuded a delicate fragrance.
“This is no joke…” he whispered in her ear, his tone becoming more serious. “I promised my father-in-law that I would never let my sister Li’er suffer the slightest grievance.”
