Sizzle-

A soft sound echoed at the bow of the ship, and it seemed as though there was only the small boat left in the world.

The bird squatted at the back and looked at them curiously. It waved its wings, saying that it definitely wouldn’t leave. It wasn’t until Ye Jingtang raised three fingers, indicating that the bird could eat as much as it wanted for three days, that it was satisfied and quietly flew away from the boat.

The peerless iceberg beauty sat at the bow of the ship in a daze. Her teeth had been pried open at some point in time. She curled her hands in front of her helplessly.

This was the first time Ye Jingtang had kissed his sweetheart passionately. It was a little unrealistic to say that he could maintain absolute rationality. As he kissed her, he got a little carried away, and his hands couldn’t help…

Wu?!

Luo Ning didn’t know how much time had passed. The abnormal movement in front of her instantly made her come back to her senses, and she quickly moved back. Her face was red as she glared at Ye Jingtang!

Ye Jingtang sat down calmly, pretending that nothing had happened. “Okay, let’s continue. Do you still want to bet?”

Luo Ning glared at Ye Jingtang for a long time before suppressing the countless emotions in her eyes and turning cold again. “Compose another poem now. If you can’t do it, I…”

She touched the soft sword at her waist and looked at the position of Little Jingtang.

Ye Jingtang smiled and looked at Heroine Luo, whose red lips were moist and glistening. “You mean you still want to bet? If I can’t do it, you’ll castrate me. If I can do it, what will you do?”

Luo Ning wasn’t stupid. She said in a deep voice, “1 don’t believe that your poetry talent is better than your martial arts talent. You must have come prepared and deliberately made a bet to deceive me. If you can compose another poem on the spot according to my request, I’ll believe you.”

?

According to your request… Ye Jingtang’s expression froze. This time, he was really lacking in confidence. In order to make Heroine Luo give up, he leaned close to her ear. “Alright. If 1 can do it, you…”

He probably wanted her to give him her watermelons, a big mouthful of them…

?!

Luo Ning’s beautiful eyes widened, and her face flushed red. She raised the soft sword at her waist. “You shameless little thief! How can you say such a thing? I…”

Ye Jingtang knew that Heroine Luo wouldn’t agree. He shrugged. “Heroine Luo, it’s fine if you don’t dare to bet. Let’s end it here. Hmm… It’s not far from Azure Yang City. I’ll go back first. Heroine Luo, you don’t have to send me off…”

This move was to take the opportunity to retreat while ahead so that he wouldn’t be exposed and beaten to death.

But Luo Ning was not stupid. When she realized that Ye Jingtang wanted to escape, she understood that this little thief lacked confidence. She said angrily, “Stop!”

Ye Jingtang paused and blinked. “Heroine Luo, are you really going to make this bet with me?”

Luo Ning didn’t dare to bet at first, but when she saw Ye Jingtang’s timidity, she immediately became bold. She placed her sword on Ye Jingtang’s shoulder and said coldly, “Fine, let’s bet. If you compose a poem according to my request, I’ll let you have your wish. If you can’t do it, I’ll castrate you!”

Ye Jingtang looked at the three-foot-long blade on his shoulder. “Hmm… Heroine Luo, you definitely won’t really let me do that. Why don’t we change the bet? If 1 can’t do it, I will swim back to Azure Yang City naked…”

Luo Ning could tell that Ye Jingtang was admitting defeat and wanted to reduce his losses. Her eyes became more and more angry. “No way!”

However, it was indeed impossible to castrate Ye Jingtang. She thought for a moment and changed her words. “If you lose, kowtow three times to the Heavenly South and join the Pacifying Heaven Cult…”

“Huh? Then, I won’t be your disciple?”

“What disciple?”

How could Luo Ning do such a stupid thing as ‘feeding her disciple with her body’? She said coldly, “You will be an underling who just entered the Pacifying Heaven Cui, the kind who carries water and sweeps the floor. And you won’t receive any benefits. If you are still alive after this, you will be a member of the Pacifying Heaven Cult. And if you die, you will be a ghost of the Pacifying Heaven Cult!”

“Uh…”

To be honest, this bet was a little difficult to accept.

But Ye Jingtang had just kissed Heroine Luo for a long time. He couldn’t blame anyone for being stuck in this tough position. He could only say, “Alright, let’s bet on this. From now on, I will join the Pacifying Heaven Cult. I’ll kowtow…”

?

Luo Ning tightened her grip on her sword. “You haven’t even composed a poem, yet you’re just admitting defeat? 1 knew you deceived me, you little thief. You…”

“Oh, alright.” Ye Jingtang had forgotten about this and sat up straight. “Okay, make your request. 1’11 try my best to make a desperate struggle.”

Luo Ning could tell that Ye Jingtang really didn’t have any confidence. Her heart softened for a moment, and she didn’t make things difficult for him. She came up with a relatively simple request. “Compose a poem using the river and the moon as the theme. If you can do it, I’ll believe you.”

River, moon… Ye Jingtang blinked. Is she deliberately going easy?

His aura immediately returned, and he sat up straighter. “Mm… I moor my boat by the misty shore; The day is late, my traveler’s sorrow renews. In vast fields, the sky lowers itself to the trees; On the limpid river, the moon moves closer and closer. What do you think?”

Luo Ning’s cold expression froze. Her red lips parted slightly as she stared at Ye Jingtang in disbelief.

Ye Jingtang wanted to laugh, but he didn’t dare. He coughed lightly and sat closer. “Heroine Luo, you set such a simple request. My win really wasn’t too fair. Sigh… Look at how embarrassed we are now…”

Luo Ning gritted her white teeth tightly. After her initial shock, her beautiful peach blossom eyes slowly turned misty. She looked like an innocent heroine who had been deceived by a playboy.

After glaring at Ye Jingtang for a moment, Luo Ning angrily threw her sword aside and raised her hands to unbutton her collar. With tears in her eyes, it looked like she was really being bullied.

Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, Ye Jingtang hurriedly held Luo Ning’s hands. “Don’t worry about it. I was just joking. If you’re unwilling, how could I force you…”

“Get your hands off me!” Luo Ning’s voice was sobbing and trembling as she untied her collar stubbornly. As she untied it, tears fell, and she even sobbed twice.

Ye Jingtang raised his hands and pulled up her collar. “Okay, we’re just sitting together to chat and joke. It’s meaningless to cry. Let’s change the conditions. 1 will change my bet, so it’s only right for you to change your agreement. You won’t be going back on your word and reneging on the bet.”

Tears welled up in Luo Ning’s eyes as she sobbed twice. She didn’t say anything, but she stopped untying her collar.

Ye Jingtang pondered seriously. “Hmm… Heroine Luo, let’s change it to you letting me kiss you every day. What do you think?”

Luo Ning’s lips moved, looking like she didn’t want to agree.

“How about letting me hug you once a day? If this doesn’t work, forget it. I’ll just pretend that what happened just now didn’t exist.”

Luo Ning’s eyes softened a little. She seemed to be able to accept this reluctantly.

Ye Jingtang stretched out his pinky, moved it to Luo Ning’s hand, and made a hook. “It’s a deal! From now on, I’ll hug you once a day. Heroine Luo, you can’t refuse, can’t say that I’m lecherous, and can’t be angry or cry.”

Luo Ning didn’t move her fingers, but she still let him hook her pinky with his. Then she raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes and stood up. “We’ve arrived at Azure Yang City. Go yourself. Yunli is still waiting. I’m leaving.”

Ye Jingtang stood up and sent her off. “Shall I wait for you and Yunli at the dock tomorrow?”

Luo Ning didn’t say anything.. She jumped down from the bow of the ship, tapped the sparkling river surface with her toes, and moved farther and farther away…contemporary romance
