Chapter 115: The Tempting Qian Renxue, A Kiss

By the time they arrived in the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire, night had already fallen.

Qian Renxue was set on heading directly to the Sun and Moon Empire, leaving Qianran feeling a bit reluctant.

With such a beautiful woman by his side, how could Qianran willingly let her go? But staying with him in Shrek Academy would restrict her, and she might even face danger. At the Holy Spirit Cult, she could access the highest level of knowledge and quickly become stronger.

What made him particularly frustrated was that he hadn't yet won Qian Renxue over. After being tantalized by her all night, he hadn't gotten close to her, and it left him feeling unsatisfied.

Throughout the evening, Qianran and Qian Renxue drank plenty of wine, and the Ice Emperor, curious about human drinks, joined in but quickly became tipsy after only a few sips.

Qianran's gaze never left Qian Renxue. She wore black leather shorts that hugged her figure, paired with a white blouse that clung tightly to her form, tracing the curves of her full chest and slender waist before disappearing under the leather shorts. A line of shiny black buttons adorned the front of the shorts, drawing the eye.

He wanted to look yet felt hesitant, caught in a thrilling sense of conflict. As much as he appreciated beauty, he couldn't bring himself to stare too openly.

The leather shorts emphasized her shapely hips and led to long, slender legs clad in black stockings, adding a provocative flair. Qian Renxue's outfit was topped off with a black leather jacket, giving her a sleek, fierce allure.

Compared to her previous gown, Qianran found he preferred this more revealing look.

With a faint blush on her cheeks from the wine, Qian Renxue looked breathtaking, and Qianran swallowed as he admired her. Her outfit accentuated every curve, especially under the night lights, drawing attention to her shapely figure.

Her ensemble made it clear: when a stunning woman learns how to dress, the effect is mesmerizing.

Throughout the night, countless strangers approached Qian Renxue, trying their luck with her, only to meet unfortunate fates. Her withering glare was enough to scare most away, and those who persisted were dealt with swiftly.

"How about we take a walk around town together?" Qianran suggested, reluctant to let such a captivating beauty out of his sight and hoping to grow closer to her.

Now that she wasn't a goddess, it was easier to get close to her. But if she regained her divine position someday, wouldn't it be even harder to win her over?

"Alright." Qian Renxue agreed, looking at him with a hint of an indescribable expression.

With their departure looming, Qian Renxue felt a trace of reluctance herself.

After ensuring the Ice Emperor was safely back at the hotel, Qianran and Qian Renxue walked side by side through the city streets.

Surrounded by Qian Renxue's alluring fragrance, Qianran found it increasingly difficult to maintain his composure. Sensing the perfect moment, he took her hand, making them look even more like a couple. Surprisingly, Qian Renxue didn't tease him as she usually did.

In the past, whenever he tried to advance their relationship, Qian Renxue would mischievously toy with him before pulling away.

Holding her hand, Qianran felt its softness and delicacy, marveling at the smoothness of her skin. The touch was incredibly pleasant.

A noticeable blush colored Qian Renxue's cheeks, though it was unclear if it was due to the wine or Qianran's flirtation.

Qian Renxue had been about to glare at him when her eyes met his heated gaze. Her enticing, wine-red eyes seemed to hold a bewitching charm, her red lips slightly parted, stirring something deep in Qianran's heart.

Unable to resist, he leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on her inviting lips.

Qian Renxue's body trembled slightly at the unexpected gesture.

Yet she didn't pull away, closing her eyes instead and standing still, allowing the kiss. From the outside, they looked like a couple, sharing an intimate moment in the middle of the street.

"Alright, alright. Did you really think you could get away with more?" Qian Renxue said as she gently pushed Qianran away, though her expression showed that she, too, had enjoyed the moment.

"Good thing we stopped. I nearly lost control… You're a real enchantress," Qianran murmured, suddenly aware that they weren't in the privacy of a hotel but out on the bustling streets of the Heavenly Soul Empire's capital.

"Look at you, acting all desperate."

"Since we're parting tomorrow... tonight, I might indulge some of your quirks…" Qian Renxue teased, her words sultry as her lips curled into a sly smile.

"Let's explore a bit first," Qianran replied, pulling her soft hand as he led her to a lakeside path not far from the lively downtown. He'd seen it on the city map and remembered the nearby attractions.

During the day, this lake was a popular spot for tourists, but at night, it was quiet and serene. The streetlights lined the lakeside path, illuminating the tranquil surroundings as Qianran and Qian Renxue strolled along, watching the lights of the bustling city across the lake.

"It's beautiful," Qian Renxue remarked, leaning back against the lakeside railing. Gazing at the vibrant cityscape, a wave of peacefulness washed over her.

In her past life, she had never taken a moment to slow down and simply observe the scenery. Now, to walk and enjoy life like an ordinary person felt unexpectedly pleasant. Of course, it was only because she was with someone she cared about that she felt so at ease.

While Qian Renxue admired the view, Qianran's eyes never left her.

To him, she was the most beautiful scenery of all.

Nothing else could compare to the person before him.
