. Using the Soul Bone skill "Disguise," Xiao Ling masked his presence, opened the window, and with a light leap, gliding a short distance through the air, he leaped out of the courtyard.
Glancing around and seeing no one was paying attention, Xiao Ling tiptoed to Xiao Xun'er and Han Yue's dormitory. His Soul Perception, radiating from his brows, began to survey the surroundings. With his Spiritual Perception, reaching the Spiritual Realm, he immediately noticed something unusual. In a shadowy, inconspicuous area outside Xiao Xun'er's room, Ling Ying sat cross-legged, cultivating. From his appearance, it was clear he hadn't noticed him.
Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and with a slight effort, he vaulted over the fence and sprinted towards Han Yue's room. As he sped, he used his Soul Perception to keep an eye on Ling Ying's location, fearing he'd be discovered.
It wasn't that he had a rift with Xiao Xun'er and Ling Ying, but rather that he was worried Xiao Xun'er might overthink things and cause trouble, which would be disastrous. It would be better to wait until one's strength is increased before speaking about such matters. If Xiao Xun'er turns evil because of this, it will be a big trouble.
Walking to the door of Han Yue's room, Xiao Ling quickly took out the spare key from the ring, and with a "click", gently inserted it into the keyhole. With a slight twist, the door opened a crack. Xiao Ling flashed into the room and closed the door with a flick of his hand.
Han Yue, who was concentrating on practicing in the practice room, heard the sound coming from the door. At first, he frowned slightly in confusion, then seemed to remember something, his brows slowly relaxed, and he walked towards the living room with light steps.
Seeing Xiao Ling who had just entered the room, Han Yue did not show any surprise. After all, she had thought of this possibility just now, because Xiao Ling was the only one who had a backup key for her room. After a little thought, she came to this conclusion.
Showing a charming smile, Han Yue said softly: "Xiao Ling, why are you in my room? Is there something wrong?"
Xiao Ling touched his head and grinned: "I'm going out for training soon, and I won't be able to see my senior sister for a long time. So I want to stay with you for a while tonight, otherwise I will miss you too much after I go out and run back without hesitation."
Han Yue rolled her eyes when she heard it, and looked at Xiao Ling with a smile, but said unfriendly: "Why don't you go find your little cousin, why are you looking for me, your senior sister."
Xiao Ling's skin was thicker than the city wall, and he would not respond to this. He rushed forward and came to Han Yue. While she was not paying attention, he passed his hand through her armpit, and with a little force, he hugged her tightly in his arms.
Watching this sudden change, feeling the warmth of his embrace, sniffing the faint medicinal scent of Xiao Ling's body, and looking at his flawless profile, Han Yue was already intoxicated. Even if this man was a little dishonest, so what? As long as he had a place for her in his heart, she would be satisfied.
Neither of them spoke, just staying there quietly, listening to each other's heartbeats, enjoying this moment of tranquility, and the atmosphere became warmer.
After a while, the two of them left each other's embrace and sat on the sofa together. Xiao Ling put his left arm around Han Yue's slender waist and his right hand on her hips. After lifting her slightly, he placed her on his thighs and sat down. After her body stabilized, he withdrew his right hand and put it around Han Yue's waist. Han Yue also leaned into Xiao Ling's arms, put her arms around Xiao Ling's neck, and rested her head on Xiao Ling's shoulder.
Xiao Ling smelled the delicate fragrance on Han Yue's body, gently stroked the hair that fell to her waist with his hand, and asked softly, "Now you are already a high-level Dou Ling, and it won't be long before you can break through to the Dou Wang level. After you reach the Dou Wang level, the Tianfen Qi Training Tower will not be able to help you. Do you plan to go back to Zhongzhou by yourself or stay in the academy to practice hard?"
Hearing this, Han Yue was slightly stunned and began to think, but remembered that she had a younger sister at home. She hadn't seen her for several years and didn't know if she had grown into a big girl now. She said softly to Xiao Ling, "When I reach the Dou Wang level, Canaan Academy won't be of much help to my practice. At that time, I should go back to my family first. I still have a younger sister at home. I haven't seen her for several years, and I miss her a little."
After hearing Han Yue's answer, Xiao Ling felt it was quite reasonable. After all, the Black Horn Region and Zhongzhou were still quite far apart. It was inevitable that one would feel insecure when leaving the family and practicing in other areas. Moreover, he has a younger sister at home whom he hasn't seen for so many years, so it would be nice to go back and see her. Anyway, it's still a long time before the Hong family's troubles in the original time and space. Xiao Ling is confident that he can deal with those people in Fenglei North Pavilion by then. By then, he also wants to snatch the practice method of "Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies" from the three elders of Fenglei North Pavilion.
Nodding, Xiao Ling said to Han Yue, "It would be nice to go back and see your family. You haven't seen them for so many years. They must miss you very much. It shouldn't take long for me to go out for training this time. I should be able to come back in about a year. Then I will send you to Tianya City to prevent
you from encountering any danger along the way." Hearing what Xiao Ling said, Han Yue felt warm in her heart. She smiled slightly and said in a soft tone, "Originally, I came to Canaan Academy to make friends with some geniuses. Cultivation was secondary. As a result, I met you. I have exceeded my mission, but my heart has been stolen by you, a dishonest guy. I don't know whether I lost or gained." Shaking his head helplessly, Han Yue sighed.
Knowing that the senior was feeling insecure, Xiao Ling stared into Han Yue's eyes and said in a serious tone: "Although I am not a fool who only loves one person in my life, I promise you that as long as you are willing to stay with me, I will protect you for the rest of your life. When I become an unparalleled strong man in the future, no one can bully you."
Hearing Xiao Ling's straightforward words, Han Yue couldn't help but smile, but the boy's serious promise also calmed her somewhat uneasy heart.
Reaching out and touching Xiao Ling's cheek, Han Yue smiled and said: "I have fallen into your hands in this life, so you must not let me down. I believe that you are destined to become an unparalleled strong man. I just need to stand behind you and watch you grow up, and I will be satisfied."
As soon as she finished speaking, Han Yue offered her lips and kissed Xiao Ling on the lips. Feeling the sudden softness, Xiao Ling also closed his eyes and enjoyed the sweetness.
