CHAPTER 968: CHAPTER 112: CLEVER DABAO

Chapter 112

"You look so small, let’s call you Little Bean." Yan Yuan thought this name sounded like a little pet.

When she called it that, others wouldn’t think much of it.

Upon hearing this, the Little Dragon Girl immediately protested with flapping claws, "Yueyue, what do you mean by this? Such an ugly name, even worse than the name my mother gave me."

"Your mother already gave you a name?" Yan Yuan glared at her, this little thing actually dared to lie to her.

The Little Dragon Girl said a bit awkwardly, "Mother named me Yu Heng. But isn’t that such an old-fashioned name, not cute at all."

She had hoped Yan Yuan would give her a cute name, but who knew Yan Yuan’s name would be even more dreadful than mother’s old-fashioned one.

"Yu Heng?" Yan Yuan touched her chin, "It’s nice! Precious and enduring like beautiful jade, what’s wrong with that."

"I don’t want that, I want to be called Cutie!" The Little Dragon Girl pulled at Yan Yuan’s long hair with her tiny claws, howling.

"Yu Heng, be good. ’Cutie’ is only suitable when you’re little. When you grow up, it’s too childish to still be called that." Yan Yuan kindly coaxed.

Yu Heng swung from her hair like a swing, being stubborn, "No, I want to be called Cutie. You just called that human boy Little Baby, why don’t you call me Little Baby too."

Yan Yuan was speechless.

She looked at the little creature and sighed, "Alright then, from now on I’ll call you Dabao, okay?"

Yu Heng thought for a moment before nodding her little dragon head, in a babyish voice, "Until I grow up, you have to call me Dabao."

"Okay!" Yan Yuan didn’t want to argue with her over the name.

This Little Dragon Girl, such a small creature with so many demands, even disliked the name her own mother gave her.

"Knock knock!"

The moment they settled on a name, Yan Yuan’s door was knocked on.

Yu Heng’s big eyes turned, she said, "It’s your wild man."

"Hey!" Yan Yuan slapped her, "He’s my boyfriend, my legitimate boyfriend."

"What boyfriend? Are you going to marry him someday? He’s just a wild man!" Yu Heng angrily waved her little claws.

Yan Yuan glared at her and rolled her eyes in exasperation.

To prevent this little troublemaker from causing mischief, she grabbed Yu Heng and stuffed her into the jewelry box, locking it afterward.

"Don’t make a sound. If humans discover you, I can only send you back to your mother." Yan Yuan patted the box and said.

Yu Heng obediently quieted down inside the box.

She wagged her tail, eager to eavesdrop on what this treacherous couple was up to!

Yan Yuan turned to open the door.

Standing at the entrance, Bai Chenxi was there, his face calm.

"You’re back so early?" Yan Yuan asked.

However, before she finished her sentence.

Bai Chenxi stepped forward, tightly gripping her wrist, his amber eyes like the cold glow of the moon, enveloping her completely.

Yan Yuan saw his serious expression, as if she had upset him somehow, though he appeared calm, there was a suppressed rage beneath.

She had no idea what had happened.

Yan Yuan instinctively took a few steps back, and Bai Chenxi pushed her against the doorframe.

His warm, alcohol-scented breath brushed against her face. Yan Yuan instinctively looked up to meet his gaze, "What are you doing? Who upset you this time?"

Bai Chenxi took a deep breath, holding Yan Yuan’s wrist as if fearing she’d disappear if he let go.

"Yueyue, do you love me?" Bai Chenxi bowed his head, his pale forehead touching hers at the brow.

His eyes locked onto her beautiful eyes with unprecedented seriousness, making her feel too intimidated to move under his gaze.

Yan Yuan didn’t know how to answer him.

Love or not!

These words felt too distant for her.

Perhaps she did like Bai Chenxi a little.

This was the first person she liked in ten thousand years, both in the heavens and on earth.

But to say love, that was too much.

She wasn’t ready to love him so much to want to marry him, then accompany him through reincarnation, breaking heavenly rules for him, to the point of self-sacrifice.

"Bai Chenxi, what’s wrong? Why are you suddenly asking me this?" Yan Yuan was puzzled. She had just become his girlfriend.

This hadn’t even really begun, why was he asking such heavy questions.

"I just want to know, do you even like me a little?" Bai Chenxi’s fingers tightly intertwined with Yan Yuan’s.

Feeling the warmth in her palm, his previously gloomy and agitated mood improved significantly.

Yan Yuan looked at his anxious face and asked, "What’s wrong, did you hear something from someone?"

Twice Bai Chenxi asked, yet Yan Yuan hadn’t answered.

Bai Chenxi felt a chill in his heart.

This woman, how could she be so indifferent.

Just because he liked her, did that mean she could act so without restraint, could be so hot and cold with him.

"Answer my question. Don’t avoid it." Bai Chenxi released one of Yan Yuan’s hands, pulling her waist into his embrace.

Yan Yuan felt suffocated, seeing Bai Chenxi’s earnest expression.

She quickly said, "I like you a little."

"Only a little?" Bai Chenxi frowned. It felt as if a bucket of cold water had been splashed on his heart.

Indeed, she only liked him a little.

"What else?" Yan Yuan felt that even a little was quite a lot.

He was just Ya, an unawakened soul. Once Ya awakens, he might not like her anymore.

If she gave her heart too early, and he turned his back on her later, what would she do?

Yan Yuan naturally had her considerations; she couldn’t ruin her life for an uncertain future.

"You!" Bai Chenxi gazed at Yan Yuan’s jade-like face, her supple skin like a newborn’s, her rosy lips like ripe cherries.

"Bai Chenxi, you’re hurting me." Yan Yuan snapped back, forcefully pushing him away.

Bai Chenxi regained some sense from his earlier frenzy.

Yan Yuan licked the corner of her lip, her blood-stained lips even more alluring and dangerous.

Bai Chenxi took out a handkerchief from his pocket, lifted her chin, and gently wiped her, "Yueyue, I just want you to marry me too much. Sorry, I was too impulsive."

Yan Yuan turned her head, pressing her lips. Soon, the wound healed completely.

But there was still a bloodstain on her lips.

"Forget it, go back and rest early. I won’t bicker with you." Yan Yuan turned toward her room, issuing a subtle invitation for Bai Chenxi to leave.

Bai Chenxi stood at the doorway with the handkerchief in hand, unsure whether to step in or retreat.

Eventually, Yan Yuan took a tissue to wipe the blood stains from her lips.

Bai Chenxi clenched his fist, stuffing the handkerchief back into his pocket, turned, and left briskly.

When did he become so indecisive, so concerned about one person?

Just because she was a little cold to him at night, he began overthinking, feeling downcast, for such a casual gesture from her, he felt frustrated.

Maybe, just like Yan Yuan said.

Her like for him is only a little.

It was he who loved her too much.

That’s why he cared about her, worried so much!

Yan Yuan sat at the dressing table, propping her cheek with one hand, her fingers caressing the jewelry box beneath them, feeling a bit melancholic.

Maybe she went too far, hurting Bai Chenxi’s feelings.

But he kissed her, even biting her lip, and she didn’t blame him.

He wouldn’t be that petty, would he?

She couldn’t understand where Bai Chenxi’s inexplicable unhappiness stemmed from.

"Dabao, so annoying. What should I do now?" Yan Yuan opened the jewelry box and asked.

"Find your Primordial Spirit quickly and return to heaven. Then go to the Three-Life Stone to see if you and he really have a destined connection. If you do, it’s a fated marriage, marry him. If there is fate but no share, I advise you to let go of this idea sooner." Yu Heng said wisely.

Yan Yuan stared at her speechlessly, "Dabao, are you really only five hundred years old? I think you’re even smarter than I, a ten-thousand-year-old Child of God."

Yu Heng rolled her eyes and snorted, "I grew up in the temple, absorbing the purest Essence of the Sun and Moon in the world. With the wisdom of the God of Wisdom and the Spiritual Energy of the Goddess of Life, I’m the most powerful dragon in heaven and earth."
