During this time, Su Xu could also feel more than one obscure and powerful Aura flowing in the shadows.
Those were the secret sentries protecting the safety of the two Holy Maidens, as well as potentially high-ranking Spirit Master guards.
The security level might not have seemed as high as the Supreme Pontiff’s Palace on the surface, but it was absolutely not to be underestimated.
Then, his gaze involuntarily drifted toward that three-and-a-half-story white main hall, lingering for a moment especially on the windows on the second floor draped with exquisite curtains.
Behind those was the shared bedroom of Hu Liena and Qian Renxue.
The time spent on guard duty was long and tedious, but Su Xu’s heart was not at peace.
Like the most patient hunter, he fulfilled his duties as a guard while scanning everything around him with a sharp gaze.
Distance?
From the sentry post to the second-floor bedroom of the main hall, the straight-line distance was about three hundred meters; it wouldn’t take long to get inside.
Timing?
He needed to wait for both Holy Maidens to be present, preferably at night, in the dead of night…
Obstacles?
There were female guards and secret sentries inside and outside the main hall; he needed to plan a path for entry and exit to avoid leaving physical traces after the Time Stop ended.
Target?
This time, his interest was mainly on Qian Renxue.
Perhaps he could have some even more “bold” ideas?
The two of them together, a double-beauty flight.
Time passed minute by minute like this, and the setting sun gradually tilted westward, plating the Saintess Hall with a layer of warm golden radiance.
Occasionally, people entered and exited the hall.
Most were maids, and once he saw Hu Liena taking a brief walk in the garden, but Qian Renxue remained nowhere to be seen.
Night finally descended slowly.
The Soul Guidance Lamps lit up one after another, casting the Saintess Hall area in a hazy and quiet light.
Su Xu stood in the deepening night, his body beneath the armor like a rock, with only his eyes glowing slightly in the shadows.
It was night.
Inside the master bedroom of the Saintess Hall, the lights were brightly lit.
After the silent standoff during the day, the atmosphere in the room remained subtle.
At this time, Qian Renxue was washing up inside the bathroom.
Not long after, she stepped out from the luxurious bathroom connected to the bedroom.
She was wrapped only in a thin, smooth white silk bathrobe, the belt loosely tied, and the collar slightly open, revealing her exquisite collarbones and a patch of skin that gleamed like ivory under the lights. Read this novel at NovelPing for the best experience.
Her damp golden hair was draped over her shoulders and back, with the tips still dripping water, soaking a small patch of the bathrobe’s fabric on her back and faintly revealing the color of her skin.
Stepping barefoot on the soft carpet, she held a dry towel, casually drying her long hair while intentionally walking with composed steps past Hu Liena, who was sitting by her bedside browsing through a Spirit Ability Manual.
The hem of the bathrobe swayed gently with her movements, and her long, straight, perfectly lined calves were partially visible.
The soft fabric clung to her body, clearly outlining her tall and proud figure.
Her slender yet strong waist, the full and perky curves, and the breathtaking rise and fall at the collar of the bathrobe.
She slightly puffed out her chest and raised her head, her swan-like neck pulling into a graceful line, unreservedly displaying that ultimate feminine temptation that combined strength and beauty right before Hu Liena’s eyes.
Comparisons between women, especially in terms of appearance and figure, can sometimes be more direct and “cruel” in their subtlety and intensity than competition between men.
Hu Liena was originally focused on the scroll in her hand, but with Qian Renxue passing by so “ostentatiously,” how could she possibly ignore it?
If she turned her head away now, wouldn’t it seem like she was showing weakness and admitting she had been outdone?
She forced herself to stay calm and raised her gaze “placidly,” as if just taking a casual glance.
However, the visual impact of that fleeting glimpse was very real.
Qian Renxue’s figure was indeed so perfect it was enviable.
