She recited to herself, but her body leaned forward slightly uncontrollably, as if she was expecting something.
Shizuka stood beside the coffee table, maintaining the standard ninja posture, but her slightly trembling knees revealed her nervousness.
Her eyes were fixed on a line of wood grain on the floor, as if it were the most interesting thing in the world.
When Bai Ye's shadow enveloped her, her throat rolled unconsciously and a layer of fine sweat beads seeped out of her back.
Shion seemed to be sitting calmly in the armchair, but she was unaware that the teacup in her hand was already empty.
Her amethyst eyes sparkled with complex light, and her ability to predict the future allowed her to know what might happen next better than anyone else.
This realization made her breathing disordered, and a faint lip mark was left on the edge of the teacup.
Tayuya's reaction was the most intense. She retreated to the window like a frightened cat, her back pressed against the cold glass.
"Don't come over here.~!"
She shouted with bravado, but her voice was unnaturally soft.
When Bai Ye's gaze swept over her, she subconsciously closed her legs and her fingers unconsciously stroked the buckle of the ninja tool bag.
Bai Ye stopped a few steps away from them, deliberately giving them some space to breathe.
He leaned lazily against the fireplace, the firelight dancing on his chiseled profile.
"Why are you so nervous?"
His voice was hoarse with afterthought.
"I won't eat you."
This joke made the girls even more flustered.
Fenghua Xiaoxue let out a small whimper and buried her face in the pillow.
The tips of Shizuka's ears were red as blood, and even her neck was pink.
Shion's teacup finally slipped from her hands, making a dull sound on the thick carpet.
Tayuya jumped up as if her tail had been stepped on.
"I...I suddenly remembered that I still have a mission!"
Tayuya turned around and was about to escape through the window, but was gently pulled back by an invisible chakra.
Bai Ye had come up behind her without her knowing, his hot breath spraying behind her sensitive ears: "Are you in such a hurry to leave?"
He placed his palm lightly on Tayuya's waist and felt the girl's momentary stiffness.
"Weren't you very concerned about Honglian's situation just now?"
Tayuya's breathing was completely disordered, and she could clearly feel the heat coming from Bai Ye's chest.
This realization made her legs go weak and she almost couldn't stand.
"Who, who cares about that!"
She said stubbornly, but her voice trembled suspiciously.
Byakuya chuckled softly and turned to the other girls, "It seems Miss Tayuya is in need of some special... guidance."
His eyes swept over everyone.
"Anyone else want to join us?"
Fenghua Xiaoxue curled up into a ball, but her slightly raised eyes revealed her anticipation.
Shizuka bit her lower lip tightly, her fingers unconsciously drawing circles on the ninja tool bag.
Shion took a deep breath and finally raised her eyes to look at Bai Ye, with a dangerous light flashing in her eyes.
Just when the atmosphere was tense to the extreme, Honglian's crying voice suddenly came from upstairs: "Bai Ye...you bastard...come up here..."
This call broke the deadlock.
Bai Ye sighed regretfully and gently pinched Tayuya's waist: "Looks like this is all we have to do today."
He turned and walked towards the stairs, then suddenly looked back.
"But...I will make it up to you tomorrow."
Looking at Bai Ye's departing back, the girls breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but also felt a sense of loss for some reason.
The only sounds in the hall were the rapid breathing and the soft crackling of burning wood in the fireplace.
Everyone is thinking the same thing: Tomorrow...who will it be?
Chapter 289 I won't be like that idiot Honglian...
Honglian's crying voice came from upstairs again, and it was particularly clear in the silent hall.
The girls stood up in unison as if they were scalded.
Fenghua Xiaoxue was the first to take action.
She hurriedly picked up the hem of her kimono, and her wooden clogs made rapid clattering sounds on the floor.
"I, I'm going back to my room first!"
Her voice was noticeably trembling, and her cheeks were red as if they were about to bleed.
In her haste, she accidentally stepped on the corner of her clothes and almost fell.
Shizuka's movements were the most efficient, but her slightly trembling fingers revealed her feelings.
She quickly collected the scattered ninja tools, not even bothering to pick up her most treasured kunai that had fallen to the ground.
"excuse me."
She spoke quickly, her head bowed, her voice an octave higher than usual.
As she turned around, her ninja boots tripped on the carpet and she nearly hit the door frame. 687 Shion seemed the calmest, but when she stood up, she accidentally knocked over the coffee table.
The teacup rolled to the ground, making a crisp sound of breaking.
"oops..."
She rarely showed a panic expression, and her purple eyes flashed with a strange light.
As she bent down to pick up the debris, her long hair fell, covering her red cheeks.
Tayuya's reaction was the most intense.
She jumped up like a frightened rabbit, knocking over the vase behind her with a loud bang.
"hateful!"
She cursed under her breath and frantically tried to pick up the vase, but because her hands were shaking so badly, she spilled water all over the floor.
When she stood up, her bangs were wet with sweat and stuck to her red cheeks.
Another high-pitched roar came from upstairs... accompanied by a slight creaking of the bed.
The girls froze at the same time.
Fenghua Xiaoxue let out a small whimper and quickened her pace.
Her kimono belt had unfastened halfway and was dragging on the floor with her hurried steps.
Shizuka practically ran out of the hall, not even noticing that her ninja tool bag had fallen to the ground.
For the first time, Shion's elegant steps became messy and she almost tripped over her own skirt.
Tayuya was the last one to leave.
She stood at the door and for some unknown reason looked back towards the stairs.
At this moment, Honglian's voice suddenly came from upstairs: "Bai Ye...be gentle..."
Tayuya's pupils suddenly contracted and her legs unconsciously closed together.
She turned around in panic and bumped her head against the door frame.
"pain..."
She squatted on the ground with her hands covering her forehead, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
But what made her even more panicked than the pain in her forehead was the unfamiliar heat surging from deep within her body.
"Damn..."
She cursed under her breath and stumbled towards her room.
In the corridor, the girls fled to their rooms.
Fenghua Xiaoxue almost rushed into the room and locked the door with her backhand at an astonishing speed.
She slid down to the floor with her back against the door, her hands covering her burning cheeks.
"how so..."
She murmured softly, but the image of Bai Ye's strong chest under his open shirt involuntarily emerged in her mind.
The sound of a cup of water being knocked over came from Shizuka's room.
She frantically wiped the wet sheets, but found that her fingers were shaking so much that she couldn't hold anything steady.
"Calm down...be calm..."
She said this to herself, but couldn't help imagining what was happening upstairs.
The thought set her whole body on fire.
Shion sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her flushed face in the mirror.
As a shrine maiden, she had foreseen similar scenes, but this was the first time she heard it with her own ears.
"The threads of fate...are tangled as expected..."
She whispered to herself, her fingers unconsciously tracing over her lips.
There was a sound of rummaging through drawers coming from Tayuya's room.
She frantically rummaged through her ninja tool bag, trying to distract herself with training.
"I won't be like that idiot Honglian..."
She said this through gritted teeth, but found that she couldn't even make the simplest hand seals.
Whenever there was a noise upstairs, her fingers would tremble unconsciously.
The entire corridor was filled with an ambiguous and tense atmosphere.
In each room, the girls were calming their pounding heartbeats in their own ways.
They all buried their faces in the pillows, trying to block out the blushing and heart-pounding sounds.
But the more I resisted, the clearer those images appeared in my mind.
It's late at night, but no one is destined to fall asleep.
Chapter 290: Insomniac Women, Embarrassed Honglian
The morning light shines into the hall through the floor-to-ceiling windows, giving the entire space a soft golden hue.
The air still held the ambiguous atmosphere of last night, causing the girls who arrived one after another to unconsciously lighten their steps.
Fenghua Xiaoxue was the first to go downstairs.
There was a faint shadow under her eyes, and her black hair, which was usually carefully groomed, was just casually tied up today.
When she stepped into the hall, her steps paused noticeably, and her eyes unconsciously drifted towards the stairs.
When she found that Honglian had not appeared yet, she seemed to be relieved, but there was also a hint of inexplicable loss in her.
"Good morning..."
She greeted Shizuka who came in later with a soft voice, her voice much softer than usual.
Her fingers unconsciously twisted the cuffs of her kimono, causing wrinkles in the delicate fabric.
Shizuka's condition wasn't much better. The usually meticulous female ninja had her forehead protector worn askew, and she also had noticeable dark circles under her eyes.
Hearing Fenghua Xiaoxue's greeting, she looked up suddenly like a frightened little animal and stammered in response: "Good-... Good morning."
