Fox Demon: All the people you want to date have special skills

Chapter 30 Be Your True Self
"Sir, you are as cunning as a fox."

"When it comes to the art of wielding a sword, how dare I compare myself with you, young master?"

Dongfang Huaizhu glanced sideways and rolled his eyes in response.
"However, since you have invited me so kindly, I will respectfully obey your orders and try my best."

Dongfang Huai's bamboo flute made sounds as soft as mosquitoes and flies. He didn't care whether Dongfang Tianyu heard it or not, and he quickly flew away on the bamboo flute.

After a while, Dongfang Huaizhu dared to look back quietly. Seeing that Dongfang Tianyu had not caught up with him, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"Girl, I won this round."

Just as she was about to turn around, a pair of strong arms suddenly came around from behind and hugged her waist tightly. This sudden action made her heart beat faster and she almost screamed.

However, when she heard that familiar deep voice, all her struggles and anxieties disappeared.

She subconsciously wanted to say something, but thinking back to Dongfang Tianyu's previous words, she finally obeyed her heart.

The two of them stood quietly in the air, as if time had stopped at this moment. They felt each other's breathing and heartbeat, enjoying this rare tranquility and closeness.

……

After the fight, the two of them walked into the quiet bamboo pavilion again. Unexpectedly, Dongfang Huaizhu took the initiative to pick up the wine pot, filled a glass of wine for himself, and tasted it carefully.

"Sir, why are you looking at me like that?"

Dongfang Huaizhu noticed the surprise and teasing in Dongfang Tianyu's eyes, and a shy blush appeared on her face.

"Nothing, but I have never seen a girl drinking before, so I am a little surprised."

Dongfang Tianyu quickly adjusted his expression and responded with a smile.

"Since the young master wants Huaizhu to be his true self, then he should try things he hasn't tried before, right?"

Dongfang Huaizhu bit her teeth lightly, mustered up her courage, raised her head and drank the remaining wine in the glass.

"Cough cough cough..."

As he had hardly ever drunk any alcohol, Dongfang Huaizhu was choked and started coughing violently, his body involuntarily hunching over.

"How come you can enjoy something so spicy?"

Dongfang Huaizhu asked in confusion with tears in his eyes and a bit of anger on his face.

Seeing this, Dongfang Tianyu smiled gently, took off the water bottle from his waist and handed it to Dongfang Huaizhu.

Dongfang Huaizhu took the kettle and drank half of it in big gulps. Only then did he feel a little better.

"Thank you."

After catching his breath, Dongfang Huaizhu returned the kettle to Dongfang Tianyu, his eyes full of gratitude.

"If the girl is not used to it, she doesn't have to force herself."

"The world is so big. Besides drinking, there are many other interesting things waiting for girls to explore."

Dongfang Tianyu persuaded softly.

After hearing this, Dongfang Huaizhu nodded in agreement.

"I almost forgot that you won the previous competition. I wonder what you want Huaizhu to do?"

After a moment's silence, Dongfang Huaizhu seemed to remember something and asked.

Dongfang Tianyu stood up after hearing this, and his eyes wandered over Dongfang Huaizhu with a hint of amusement. "Sir, please do not make unreasonable requests, otherwise even if there is an agreement in advance, Huaizhu will find it difficult to comply."

Dongfang Huaizhu felt uneasy when Dongfang Tianyu looked at her. In order to prevent the other party from making excessive demands, she spoke in a firm tone.

"Am I really the kind of frivolous person who doesn't care about other people's feelings in the eyes of the girl?"

Dongfang Tianyu asked softly, then he walked to the edge of the pavilion and stared at the flowing Huai River, as if he was really hurt by Dongfang Huaizhu's words.

Dongfang Huaizhu became anxious upon seeing this and wanted to reach out to keep her, but he found it difficult to find the words to speak. He could only stand there, at a loss as to what to do.

Dongfang Tianyu glanced at Dongfang Huaizhu lightly, knowing that joking should not be too extreme, so he took back the teasing at the right time, turned around and said politely: "I just want to listen to the girl's flute. Do you think this request is unreasonable?"

Dongfang Huaizhu was slightly startled when he heard this, then he looked at the bamboo flute hanging around his waist again, realizing that he had just been teased a little, and a trace of anger and shyness appeared on his face.

"Sir, I dare not say that your request is unreasonable. But I have already said that I am not proficient in music."

Dongfang Huaizhu said softly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"If you don't mind the unfamiliar sound of the flute, Huaizhu is willing to try to play a tune."

She added, with a hint of anger in her words.

Dongfang Tianyu looked at Dongfang Huaizhu's slightly coquettish look, and his heart could not help but ripple. He actually saw some shadows of Dongfang Qinlan in her. Although the two sisters had very different personalities, they were similar in some aspects.

Could it be that you really want to see me lose face?"

Seeing that Dongfang Tianyu did not respond for a long time, Dongfang Huaizhu's face became even more ashamed and angry. A ball of pure Yangyan emerged from her hand, full of threat.

"I just hope to hear your heart, not just a demonstration of my skills. If you are interested, you can learn slowly, there is no need to rush."

Dongfang Tianyu responded with a smile.

When Dongfang Huaizhu heard this, the shame and anger in his heart gradually dissipated, and was replaced by a trace of gratitude.

"Since you say so, I will definitely do my best."

"When we meet next month, Huaizhu will definitely live up to your trust."

She looked at Dongfang Tianyu, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

The two smiled at each other, and the misunderstandings and estrangements between them disappeared while they were talking and laughing.

Dongfang Tianyu knew that he and Dongfang Huaizhu were no longer just friends, but had a rare tacit understanding and expectation.

"Miss, you don't have to be so anxious. I have to complete a mission recently, which may take some time. During this time, I may not be able to meet you again."

After drinking another glass of wine, Dongfang Tianyu slowly spoke.

After these words came out, Dongfang Huaizhu paused slightly while pouring wine for him, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She hesitated for a moment before asking softly, "How long will it take for you to return?"

Dongfang Tianyu told the truth: "It could be as short as two or three months, or as long as a year or two. But please rest assured, young lady, I will come to see you as soon as I complete my mission."

"I naturally don't need to worry about your safety. With your extraordinary strength, there are few people or monsters in this world who can pose a threat to you."

"I just hope that when we meet again, you can tell me in detail what you saw and heard during this trip, as well as the valuable gains you made."

Dongfang Huaizhu gently filled Dongfang Tianyu's glass with wine, his eyes flashing with eager anticipation for the future.
