Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Page 195

Shen An's heart was still pounding.

So exciting.

Is it reasonable for the plot to develop so quickly?

Shouldn't he, Shen, be more suited to slow-cooked porridge? How come he was taken down to first base so soon after meeting him?

Although Qian Renxue was reflecting on her unusual behavior just now, she felt even more annoyed after being pushed away by Shen An.

Qian Renxue extended her slender, jade-like finger and wiped Shen An's lips.

……

Even though she was incredibly nervous, her heart pounding as if it were about to explode, she still spoke in a deliberately assertive, leading lady tone: "When we met, you were very stubborn, but your body language was very honest... I could feel it..."

"This isn't your first time kissing a girl, is it?" Qian Renxue's eyes sparkled as she spoke.

Although she knew Shen An's character, she was still worried that he might not be chaste enough in the past two years or that he might fall for other seductive women. But his current behavior completely put her mind at ease.

A strange sense of superiority rose within him, stemming from his admiration for the two vixens of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

So what if I knew her before her? Don't you know what it means for the latecomer to surpass the former?

As Shen An listened to Qian Renxue's devilish whispers, he felt as if his fragile heart had been shattered one after another.

He blushed and stammered, spouting nonsense like, "What are you talking about? There's absolutely no such thing."

As he was talking, Shen An suddenly realized something was wrong. He only attacked and never defended when he was fighting, so there was no reason why he was always getting beaten up in matters of the heart.

Then Shen An pointed at Qian Renxue, whose face was flushed and whose chest was heaving, and said, "You're the same, your neck, face, and ears are all red. We're all innocent newbies, what are you pretending for!"

Chapter 298 All living beings are but grass and trees, only you are the green mountain.

"Ha, what a stubborn brat."

As a woman who was determined to be strong throughout her life, Qian Renxue was naturally unwilling to be outdone, and took a step forward.

Those majestic phoenix eyes revealed a strong sense of aggression as they gazed at Shen An with lingering interest.

Shen An felt a jolt, and her first reaction was not to resist, but rather to give in halfway.

"Damn it! I've really lost my mind, Shen An, how could you be so infatuated with beauty?" he reflected inwardly.

Qian Renxue took a step forward, and Shen An took a step back. She advanced, he retreated, until he had nowhere left to retreat.

Shen An pressed himself against the wall, feigning surrender: "Qian Renxue~ oh no, I mean Xiaoxue, Xue'er, isn't it too fast between us?"

Tom and Jerry watched from the side, shaking their heads. Men, huh, at first they said it was hard to accept, now they've changed their tune and said it's too fast.

That makes sense. Faced with a woman who is stunningly beautiful, devoted to you alone, and even practically throwing herself at you, how many people could be so heartless as to cut ties and reject her?

Besides, if you try to cut ties and refuse, they might not be happy about it and could just lock you in a secret room.

Qian Renxue also realized this and was delighted. There was a flaw, and she could be taken advantage of.

However, she also realized that since she hadn't seen Shen An for a long time, she couldn't push him too hard and sometimes had to give him some leeway.

Although Qian Renxue had never been in a relationship, in her view, everything boils down to using the right strategy.

As long as I continue to increase my importance in Shen An's mind without provoking resistance, I will eventually win him over.

As the former Crown Prince of Tiandou, Qian Renxue's political acumen was unquestionable. Her mind raced, and she quickly established her strategy.

With a slight twitch of his heroic eyebrows, his tall figure pressed Shen An against the wall, completely encircling him with his arms, in a posture of confinement.

'Oh no, I've been pinned against the wall?!'

As Shen An looked at the stunningly beautiful face that kept getting bigger and bigger in front of him, and felt that warm and soft breath, his emotions were extremely strange.

It was a kind of awkwardness, and contained a strange, unspeakable, secret pleasure.

Then, she suddenly closed her eyes, giving off a sense of being at his mercy.

Tom and Jerry's eyes had turned into little hearts, as if they were watching an idol drama, so sweet!

Looking at Shen An's handsome and refined appearance, Qian Renxue felt a surge of inexplicable malice in her heart.

Lock him up! Imprison him! Make sure he can never leave you!

A shadow fell over Qian Renxue's eyes. What was this strange emotion? She was the heir to the six-winged angel, the one who wielded the most sacred power in the world.

'Enough is enough!' she cried out in her heart. The angelic realm silently unfolded within her body, cleansing her body and even her soul with its purifying power again and again.

'Give up, you are me, and I am you. How can you destroy me?'

'However, I'll leave you to it.'

The whispers in my heart continue.

A gloomy feeling lingered in Qian Renxue's heart. What exactly was that thing?

Shen An quietly opened his eyes. What's going on? I've been waiting for ages, why haven't they done anything yet?

Sensing Shen An's gaze, Qian Renxue snapped out of her daze. Never mind, the matter at hand was more important; she should seize the time to manipulate Shen An.

"How can feelings be measured by time? This is the first time I've faced you as a woman, and you still don't understand me at all."

"But you cannot doubt my judgment, doubt my love. I see all living beings as mere grass and trees, but I see you as a green mountain."

Looking into those bright golden eyes, filled with undisguised passion, Shen An sighed inwardly.

The aloof figure in his mind became clearer and clearer, then transformed into a noble and arrogant figure, and then into the stunningly beautiful woman before him.

Shen An felt bitter. If he had no moral bottom line and could be a jerk at will, he wouldn't be troubled. But he still had a bottom line.

At that moment, he felt as if he were bound by an invisible web of emotions, caught in a dilemma.

He was confident that the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in his hand could cut through everything in this world, except for his black hair.

Shen An's eyes grew clearer. He gently pushed Qian Renxue away and smiled, "Tom should be almost ready. Where have you been these past two years?"

At the same time, they glanced at Tom and Jerry out of the corner of their eyes, and the two little ones understood perfectly, feeling that they had watched enough of the show.

"Meow~"

Tom pointed inside the house, indicating that everything was ready and they could start eating.

Qian Renxue noticed Shen An's current resistance, but did not insist. The first intimate contact was a surprise attack by her, using the image of a young girl and the leading lady to forcefully break down Shen An's defenses.

The second time was under the pretext of an argument between the two, but it's something that can happen once or twice but not a third time; one must eat one bite at a time.

Having been able to infiltrate Tiandou for over a decade, she naturally possessed no shortage of patience. The darkness within her heart had now been concealed, and she would certainly not do anything rash.

She pouted slightly and said, "Let's go."

Relieved, Shen An followed Tom into the house.

Then, seeing the arrangement of the room, Shen An glared at Tom fiercely. This cat just loves to watch the drama unfold.

The once quaint and antique house has somehow come to exude a romantic atmosphere.

The walls on all four sides were covered with flowers, and the originally bright yellow lights had turned into a color with an ambiguous hue.

Candlelight and red wine were laid out on the spacious table, with vibrant roses at the center, creating a provocative and romantic atmosphere.

As for the vegetables, they're all fish!

Tom demonstrated various ways to cook fish: steaming, braising, stewing...

Qian Renxue was overjoyed and looked at Tom with satisfaction. What a clever little kitten!

Shen An sat down, his lips twitching, and casually placed a Tom Tom toy next to himself and Qian Renxue to keep some distance.

"Why are you so wary of me? I'm not going to eat you," Qian Renxue said with a playful look in her eyes.

Shen An... he won't eat me. If he had any less willpower, he would have been completely devoured.

Of course, it can't be said that he had a particularly strong will, since he almost succumbed to it.

Seeing that Shen An remained silent and only focused on eating, Qian Renxue wasn't annoyed. She asked, seemingly casually:

"How did you end up working for that woman?"

"Didn't I already say that in order to find your whereabouts, she is the Pope and must know the most about your Spirit Hall? Of course, we should contact her first."

Qian Renxue nodded in satisfaction, then casually pinched the back of Tom's neck to lift the seat, and naturally sat down in the seat that originally belonged to Tom.

Tom... has taken over the place.

"You said you didn't like me, but you even went undercover to be with that woman for my sake."

Shen An's lips twitched: "If that's how you interpret it, then I have nothing to say."

"Is there a problem? Were you concerned about me when I went missing?" Qian Renxue asked, raising an eyebrow.

Shen An was about to explain when Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Just tell me whether you care or not."

Shen An nodded helplessly: "I'm concerned."

Who cares about whom?

Shen An sighed, "I care about you."

"When I kissed you just now, did you enjoy it? Did you like it?"

Shen An blushed as well. How could he ask so bluntly? It was simply an insult to his manners!

"Just a little bit."

"Hmm?" Qian Renxue glared at her.

"Well, I'm enjoying it a little, I kind of like it."

Qian Renxue's smile widened, her smile seemingly possessing a special magic that captivated everyone.

"So what is our relationship now?"

“My friend, baby,” Shen An answered honestly.

Hearing "baby" again, Qian Renxue felt a little dizzy. However, she wasn't quite satisfied with the word "friend." She felt it should be prefixed with something like "boyfriend and girlfriend."

Tom and Jerry looked at each other in bewilderment. Was this the legendary couple?

Suddenly, a sound came from afar; it was coming from the Papal Palace.

Qian Renxue was slightly displeased, knowing that it must be that woman causing trouble.

"By the way, aren't you supposed to be Yan Chixia? Stop hanging around Bibi Dong and come to my side."

Qian Renxue said excitedly that she had learned from her grandfather that Bibi Dong had already taken Shen An as her confidant. If Shen An abandoned Bibi Dong and came to her side at this time, the woman's expression would definitely be very interesting.

It's hard to say that this isn't a form of NTR.

Shen An looked at Qian Renxue suspiciously. He always felt that Qian Renxue was very interested in opposing that Pope.

However, staying is definitely out of the question. He still wants to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but judging from Qian Renxue's previous behavior, he probably can't even mention it.

As for forcibly running away, that won't work.

Shen An had a good grasp of his own abilities. He could handle fighting level 95 Super Douluo like Ju and Gui, but anything above level 95 would be difficult, not to mention the top-tier boss Qian Daoliu was also a threat.

That dazzling sword strike that night—if he were to take the hit now, he'd be dead for sure, brother.

"We can't be reckless; we have to outsmart them," Shen Anxin thought to himself, silently recalling the Art of War he had read years ago. In an instant, a plan came to mind.

He smiled and calmly took Qian Renxue's hand in his. Her hand was as smooth as jade, and it stirred one's heart.

She had always been the one on the offensive, so Shen An's sudden shift from defense to offense startled Qian Renxue. She lowered her eyes, her heart filled with boundless joy and affection.

“Xiaoxue, no, Xue’er, I’m so happy that you’re alright now, but I also love freedom. I’ll be unhappy if you leave me in Wuhun City. Why don’t you let me go out for a while and come back to find you later?”

Qian Renxue, who had been held by Shen An like an obedient child, suddenly realized something. So, she was trying to lure her with her beauty, but she still wanted to run away.

But irresistible, she couldn't resist the allure of his beauty and instead nestled into his arms, savoring his comforting warmth. She half-closed her eyes, enjoying the sensation, and lazily said:

"No, rejected. Wuhun City has everything, and I will give you whatever you want, but you can't leave. If you leave now, you will definitely go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to find those two vixens."

"And don't even think about sneaking away. My grandpa can stop you anytime. People who do wrong will be locked up in a dark room."

After saying that, she snuggled into Shen An's arms like a kitten.

Shen An... He simply refused to believe that Qian Renxue was truly so unyielding.

He first gave Tom and Jerry a look, signaling them to leave. The two little ones understood and stopped eating. Tom pointed to the food in his hand, indicating that they were eating.

Shen An glared at them again, strongly urging them to go out first. Tom finally gave in and gestured to Jerry.
