Chapter 441: Look at the Stars (2/2)

Looking at that face full of anticipation, in the end, Huang Xiaolong nodded. He was already back at the Asura’s Gate headquarters, practice could wait one night.

He reached out and held Shi Xiaofei’s small hand, leaped up to the roof of his courtyard and sat down.

Shi Xiaofei’s heartbeat accelerated, sounding like war drums in her ears when Huang Xiaolong held her hand.

Sitting down on the roof, Huang Xiaolong looked up at the vast night sky and saw that it was littered with stars. Glittering brightly in the dark, they seemed to relax the heart and mind.

He remembered that in his past life on Earth, when he was little, he often looked at the stars just like this.

This Martial Spirit World’s sky was just as relaxing as the one on Earth.

Shi Xiaofei sat down beside Huang Xiaolong, her heartbeat gradually calmed down as she watched Huang Xiaolong quietly looking at the stars. Following Huang Xiaolong’s gaze, she looked at the night sky, muttering to herself: “So beautiful.”

Huang Xiaolong was pulled out of his reverie by her voice. From the side, Shi Xiaofei’s enraptured expression as she stared at the night sky was truly alluring; small bulbous nose and dainty mouth, her fragrant body scent teased Huang Xiaolong’s nose.

“Your Mother must love you a lot.” Huang Xiaolong focused his attention as he said.

Shi Xiaofei looked over at Huang Xiaolong, flashing him a brilliant smile that struck him at the core, “True, my Mother loves me very much, but my Father is so hateful, always forcing me to practice since I was little!”

Huang Xiaolong chuckled softly hearing her words, “That’s because your Father loves you too.”

Martial Spirit World was a place where the strong preyed upon the weak, Shi Fantian forced his daughter to cultivate so she could have the capability to protect herself.

Shi Xiaofei nodded: “I know.” But her small face looked crestfallen, “Big brother Huang, am I useless?”

Huang Xiaolong was taken aback by the question, but quickly understood that she was referring to herself being captured by Xie Hui.

“No.” Huang Xiaolong replied, “Your talent is good. With your aptitude, there’s only a handful of people considered more talented than you. You haven’t cultivated for long, but already broke through to Saint realm, it’s an amazing achievement.”

Huang Xiaolong wasn’t uttering sweet words, in the whole Martial Spirit World, there was an uncountable number of big sects and super families genius disciples that failed to advance into Saint realm despite cultivating for over a thousand year.

Shi Xiaofei looked straight at Huang Xiaolong, her beautiful eyes misty, as her voice sounded soft, “Thank you, Big brother Huang. I… can I lean on you for a while… ?”

The look in Shi Xiaofei’s eyes was similar to how Li Lu looked at Huang Xiaolong the year she left, too similar.

“En.” Huang Xiaolong nodded.

Getting Huang Xiaolong’s permission, Shi Xiaofei slowly leaned closer, putting her head on Huang Xiaolong’s shoulder, taking in the masculine scent coming from Huang Xiaolong’s body. Her breathing quickened, blushing quietly in the dark.

Both sat in silence like this, staring at the velvet night sky.

Some time later, Huang Xiaolong turned over to look at Shi Xiaofei, only to find the girl had fallen asleep leaning on his shoulder.

The sleeping beauty’s eyelashes fluttered like dancing butterflies, her skin smooth and flawless, akin to a painting.

Reluctant to wake her, he let her sleep, leaning on him.

The night gradually faded.

Shi Xiaofei woke up when the morning sunlight fell on her face. When she came to her senses, a small scream escaped her mouth, as if she couldn’t believe that she actually fell asleep leaning on Huang Xiaolong’s shoulder.

“Big brother Huang, I…” Shi Xiaofei blushed with embarrassment, feeling awkward.

“It’s fine.” Huang Xiaolong teased, “Being able to become a pillow for a beauty like you is many men’s lifelong fantasy.”

This only made Shi Xiaofei’s little face turn redder.
