Hearing that sound, Wan Qingyun's body stiffened, and Jiang Junyi was also stunned.
He hadn't expected to make a sound!
Wan Qingyun's voice trembled slightly as she asked, "What...are you doing?"
At that moment, Jiang Junyi's face turned as red as a monkey's backside.
It seemed this slightly perverted scene had been discovered...
However, Jiang Junyi still held onto a sliver of hope, after all, Wan Qingyun couldn't see!
He might just be eating an ice pop, or doing something else, right?
Jiang Junyi comforted himself, thinking he definitely wouldn't be discovered.
However, Wan Qingyun's next words struck Jiang Junyi like a bolt of lightning: "Were you just...licking...your finger...?"
Wan Qingyun spoke with great difficulty, clearly, even she herself didn't want to believe what Jiang Junyi had just done.
"Uh..." Jiang Junyi stammered, "If I said no, would you believe me?"
For the first time, Wan Qingyun felt her blood pressure shoot up to her head: "You! You, you, you! Swear you didn't lick it! Otherwise, then...then...I will definitely leave you!"
She knew other oaths weren't very effective; only by using herself as the punishment for breaking the oath would Jiang Junyi possibly tell the truth.
Jiang Junyi smiled bitterly; how could he swear?
Wan Qingyun's oath punishment hit him where it hurt the most.
"Alright, I only licked it once." Jiang Junyi hung his head, like a defeated rooster.
In an instant, Wan Qingyun's fair swan neck turned red from the base of her neck to her cheeks, and wisps of heat seemed to rise from her head.
"You, you, you...pervert!" Wan Qingyun almost screamed the last word.
She really hadn't expected Jiang Junyi to make such a move!
"Cough, cough!" Jiang Junyi coughed to cover his embarrassment, momentarily unsure how to explain, his brain's CPU began to spin frantically.
After much thought, he couldn't find a reasonable explanation.
He steeled his heart and decided to just go for it.
"So what! I heard girls' lips are all soft and fragrant. I'm curious! I want to taste if there's any fragrance! Humans are full of curiosity about the unknown, is that wrong!"
Wan Qingyun pointed at Jiang Junyi, speechless for a long time.
This...this is still so self-righteous?
Jiang Junyi knew he couldn't show weakness now, so he slowly leaned closer, his unique scent wafting towards Wan Qingyun.
Wan Qingyun could also feel a hot body pressing towards her, so she instinctively leaned back.
Jiang Junyi placed one hand on the desk and the other on the bookshelf behind Wan Qingyun, saying domineeringly, "But I didn't taste anything clearly just now, how about...you let me savor it carefully?"
The two were so close that Wan Qingyun's lips could feel the hot breath from Jiang Junyi.
"No...no!"
Wan Qingyun shouted, pushing Jiang Junyi away with both hands, then breathing heavily.
But soon she realized she seemed to have used all her strength again, and asked with a slight worry, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine, my body is in great shape." Jiang Junyi said with a smile, having stepped back a few paces, a sigh of relief escaping him.
He finally managed to muddle through this matter.
"Um, I'm going out for some water..." Jiang Junyi said, then fled the scene of the crime like a flash.
The temperature here was really high.
Because this time, two people were blushing.
Inside the study, Wan Qingyun breathed lightly, the pounding in her heart not yet fully settled.
She raised a hand to touch her lips, were they really that enticing?
In the room where only she was present, she whispered, "At least for now...not yet..."
"We've only known each other for two or three days..."
"At least...seven or eight days?"
Wan Qingyun thought, feeling that seven or eight days should be about right.
...
While the two enjoyed their sweet daily life, the Xingluo Daycare Center, also known as the Black Palace, began its first mission debriefing in the morning.
Capricorn was not included as she needed to keep a close eye on Lin Xiu's movements.
So the attendees were Wang Hao, Virgo, and Leo.
At this point, Wang Hao finally knew what Leo looked like; she was just a blonde loli, only about 1.5 meters tall!
Of course, she was already an adult, and quite old at that.
"Cough cough, it's an honor to serve as the debriefing officer for this mission, now let's begin the mission debriefing!" Leo said with a hint of smugness, a trace of nostalgia on her face.
Once upon a time, they often engaged in such activities, but ever since that day, they had never happened again.
During debriefings, members would argue, debate, and even come to blows, their faces flushed.
All of this made her feel very nostalgic.
Huh? Why no movement?
Leo snapped back to reality and looked at the two silent people, full of questions.
She slapped her forehead, oh right! This debriefing was with Virgo!
Even in the past, debriefing with her was quite a tricky matter; her statements were overly concise, and her understanding of the mission was quite erratic.
"Equipment before departure." Virgo spoke concisely.
"Normal, no damage." Wang Hao blurted out.
"Was combat strength hidden?"
"No."
"Did you memorize mission intelligence?"
"Yes."
"Did you know Lin Xiu's life-saving methods?"
"No."
"Specific feeling of engaging Lin Xiu."
"Strong."
"Why did the final encirclement strategy fail?"
"Due to the spiritual artifact, otherwise he would have been killed."
The two engaged in a rapid-fire Q&A, following a fast debriefing style.
However, Virgo clearly seemed to want to say more but hesitated.
"What do you want to say, Virgo? Speak freely!" Leo seized the opportunity to get some attention.
"Do you think the final spiritual artifact was always carried, or did it suddenly become effective?"
Virgo asked a question that sounded somewhat strange.
Leo looked at Virgo suspiciously: "It must have always been there. As the successor of the Dragon King Palace, he must have such protective measures."
Wang Hao stroked his chin: "It's possible it suddenly took effect."
Virgo's eyes lit up, and she sat up straight.
Wang Hao continued: "This feeling reminds me a lot of protagonists in urban novels; whenever they encounter a certain death situation, something will inevitably help the Child of Destiny."
Hearing this statement, Virgo nodded seriously and vigorously.
Leo was dumbfounded on the side.
No, buddy? You can actually follow this line of thought?
"Debriefing concluded. Based on the above, we both believe that Lin Xiu is a Child of Destiny, and we need to find a way to weaken his luck." Virgo said seriously.
"Alright, alright, I will submit your debriefing report and apply for you two to become fixed teammates." Leo weakly raised her hand.
Wang Hao raised an eyebrow, there's such a thing as fixed teammates?
He glanced at Virgo, it's actually fine.
Virgo didn't object; partnering with Wang Hao was simply too comfortable.
She felt that Wang Hao could understand all her thoughts and operations, and their tacit agreement (tacit understanding) was extremely high...
Thinking of this, Virgo couldn't help but glance at Wang Hao.
"Oh, right, Wang Hao, you need to think of a codename, because of this extremely high-risk mission, you have been exceptionally promoted to Star General." Leo said.
Wang Hao was slightly startled, then returned to normal: "Understood, then my codename will be—Wei Long!"
Just then—Ding-a-ling~
The doorbell rang!
