Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 523 Hu Liena's First Kiss, Truly a Woman of the Spirit Hall Lineage
The atmosphere at dinner was somewhat somber.

Ning Rongrong seemed to realize that her actions during the day might have caused trouble, so she lowered her head and ate her food in small bites, not daring to say anything more.

The high priest, seemingly oblivious to everything else, focused intently on his meal, as if detached from the situation.

Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena ate very little and soon got up and returned to their respective tents.

As night deepened, the campsite quieted down, with only the soft crackling of the campfire.

Suddenly, Dai Chengfeng's tent was opened.

He carefully sensed his surroundings and, after confirming that the High Priest and Ning Rongrong were already resting and that there was no movement from Zhu Zhuqing's tent, he crouched down and quietly slipped to Hu Liena's tent.

He tapped lightly on the tent frame, lowering his voice:

"Nana, are you asleep?"

There was a moment of silence inside the tent before Hu Liena's wary voice came through:
"Dai Chengfeng? What are you doing here? I need to rest, you can go back."

"I have something to tell you about what happened during the day."

As Dai Chengfeng spoke, he gently lifted a corner of the tent flap with his hand.

"Don't come in!"

Hu Liena's voice was somewhat hurried, clearly not expecting Dai Chengfeng to be so bold.

But Dai Chengfeng was faster; he flashed inside and quickly closed the curtain.

The tent was cramped, and Hu Liena sat there wrapped in a thin blanket, her face full of surprise and slight anger. In the dim light, her fox-like eyes appeared particularly bright.

"Dai Chengfeng! You...you get out!"

Hu Liena lowered her voice and scolded, afraid of disturbing others.

Dai Chengfeng ignored her and took a few steps closer, looking into her eyes: "Nana, let me explain, Ning Rongrong and I really have nothing going on."

"That kiss...it surprised me too."

Hu Liena turned her head away. "Heh, what does it have to do with me whether you have something going on with her?"

"Shouldn't you explain this to your fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing?"

"Who am I to you? Just an outsider, why bother explaining yourself to me?"

"Jealous?" Dai Chengfeng looked at her sulking profile and suddenly asked with a low laugh.

Hu Liena, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, whirled around, her beautiful eyes wide with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance:
"Who's jealous?! Dai Chengfeng, I don't care which woman you're close to!"

Seeing her insincere expression, Dai Chengfeng felt more certain.

He suddenly reached out and pulled Hu Liena into his arms.

"what!"

Hu Liena gasped in surprise, her body instantly stiffening.

Those fox-like eyes, which always seemed to gleam with allure, were now wide open, reflecting the faint starlight filtering through the tent cracks, filled with disbelief.

"Dai Chengfeng, you are so outrageous!"

Her voice trembled slightly as she lowered it, her hands pressed against his firm chest, trying to push him away, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree.

The body temperature and cool aura emanating from Dai Chengfeng made her feel flustered.

Faced with Hu Liena's 'scolding', Dai Chengfeng not only did not let go, but tightened his arms, pressing the warm and soft body in his arms even closer to himself.

He lowered his head, his hot breath brushing against Hu Liena's sensitive earlobe. He felt her flinch slightly, and the resentment he felt for her being hypocritical dissipated somewhat.

Instead, a stronger possessiveness has taken its place.

"presumptuous?"

Dai Chengfeng chuckled, "Nana, haven't I been insolent enough towards you?" "...This is just the beginning."

“You…” Hu Liena was both anxious and angry, but more than that, she felt panicked by the inability to control the situation.

She had never had such intimate and inappropriate contact with a man before. Even when she had just joined the Spirit Hall, no one would have dared to be so disrespectful to her because of Bibi Dong's high regard for her.

"What do you want? Let me go!"

"Let go?" Dai Chengfeng interrupted her, his gaze fixed intently into her eyes. "Nana, do you really not care about what happens between me and Ning Rongrong?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena bit her lower lip and stubbornly turned her head away.

"I said, it has nothing to do with me."

"lie."

Dai Chengfeng freed one hand and gently stroked her cheek with his slightly calloused fingertips, the touch delicate and cool.

Hu Liena trembled and tried to slap his hand away, but he grabbed her wrist.

"If you really don't care, will you get angry?"

Dai Chengfeng lowered his voice even further, almost whispering in her ear, "Your reaction tells me that you care a lot."

"I don't!"

Hu Liena whirled around, her eyes glistening with a mixture of embarrassment and anger, adding a breathtaking allure. "Dai Chengfeng, don't flatter yourself! How could I, Hu Liena, possibly... Waaah~"

However, before Hu Liena could finish speaking, all her voices abruptly stopped.

Hu Liena stared in astonishment, her mind going completely blank.

Dai Chengfeng kissed her.

Is this... what a kiss feels like?
Hu Liena initially struggled, pounding her fists on his back, but her strength seemed so insignificant under Dai Chengfeng's restraint.

The unfamiliar yet soft touch from her lips was like an electric current coursing through her body, making her limbs weak and her head spin.

The force of her resistance gradually weakened, and finally, she closed her eyes, awkwardly and passively accepting the sudden kiss, a strange tingling sensation rising from the bottom of her heart.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but Dai Chengfeng suddenly hissed and gasped, releasing Hu Liena and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He looked at Hu Liena, whose face was as beautiful as a peach blossom and whose eyes held a hint of vengeful satisfaction, with a mixture of amusement and exasperation:
"Are you a fox or a puppy? Why are you biting people?"

In his heart, Dai Chengfeng secretly complained:
No wonder it's from the Spirit Hall lineage!
From Qian Renxue in the beginning, to Bibi Dong later, and now to Hu Liena...

They're all like that; when they get affectionate, none of them hold back from biting!
What kind of tradition is this?
Hu Liena, embarrassed and annoyed, pushed him away forcefully, pulled the blanket over half her face, leaving only her large, watery eyes visible as she glared at him, her voice muffled:
"Serves you right! Who told you... to force a kiss on me! Get out of here!"

Dai Chengfeng licked his bitten lip, tasting a hint of blood, but then laughed:

"Are you not angry now?"

"Get out!" Hu Liena snapped angrily.

"Okay, okay, I'll leave. I won't disturb your rest anymore."

Seeing that she had softened her attitude and he had achieved his goal, Dai Chengfeng knew when to stop. He got up quickly and left the tent quietly once again.

Watching Dai Chengfeng's disappearing figure, Hu Liena slowly put down the blanket, her fingers gently touching her slightly swollen lips, where his breath and warmth still lingered.

She was lost in thought, her heart still pounding, a complex and indescribable emotion spreading through her chest.

She subconsciously pursed her lips, a hint of confusion and shyness flashing across her face.

Having dealt with Hu Liena, Dai Chengfeng breathed a slight sigh of relief, but an even greater "challenge" lay ahead.

He followed the same method and quietly crept to Zhu Zhuqing's tent.

This time, he didn't even knock; he simply lifted the curtain and went inside.
