Mingye gently pressed his thumb against Su Yaoyao’s lips. With a bit more pressure, it slid slowly into her warm mouth, caressing the soft flesh within.

Mingye’s breathing instantly quickened. No longer able to suppress his emotions, he lowered his head and kissed her fiercely. He eagerly sucked on the little female’s soft tongue, as if pouring all his longing into the kiss.

As Mingye’s kiss deepened, Su Yaoyao felt her consciousness gradually fade, as if she were in a misty, dreamlike realm.

Her breathing grew more rapid, mingling with Mingye’s until they were indistinguishable.

The kiss lasted a long, long time, yet Mingye couldn’t get enough. It felt as if he could never grow tired of kissing the female who so thoroughly captivated him.

Mingye’s normally deep, dark green pupils now seemed to be lit by a blazing fire. Lust surged and swirled within them, almost completely devouring his reason.

He slowly pulled his lips from hers, licking away the silvery trail of saliva as he panted softly. His gaze, hazy with desire, drifted downward.

He drew closer to Su Yaoyao, as gentle as a breeze caressing flower petals, and carefully placed a kiss on her neck.

His lips were warm and soft. Every touch seemed to carry endless longing as he brushed against her delicate skin, leaving a trail of feather-light kisses.

Then, his kisses trailed along the elegant line of her neck, slowly gliding down to her delicate collarbone.

His kisses seemed to hold a magical power, making Su Yaoyao’s heart clench. An indescribable emotion began to quietly spread through her.

Mingye continued downward.

A shiver ran through Su Yaoyao. A panicked, tingling sensation shot through her body like an electric current, making her breath come in ragged gasps as a soft moan escaped her lips.

Mingye’s kisses were wild and without pattern, sometimes turning into rough bites.

Su Yaoyao’s mind went completely blank. She trembled uncontrollably, utterly overwhelmed.

Mingye lingered for a long time before gradually moving lower.

She wanted to resist, but her body, as if under a spell, wouldn’t obey. She could only let out a few muffled whimpers.

In the quiet room, these whimpers sounded especially seductive, further arousing Mingye.

The continuous licking from his cool, forked tongue made Su Yaoyao suck in a sharp breath. She was soaked through.

After what felt like an eternity of torment, Mingye finally stopped. His coiled tail had also loosened at some point.

He gently took hold of Su Yaoyao’s ankle, his movements as if he were handling the most precious treasure in the world.

His fingers were long and strong, yet incredibly gentle.

Then, he lowered his head slightly and gently pressed his warm lips to Su Yaoyao’s ankle.

The kiss was filled with endless longing and adoration. His lips brushed against her delicate skin, as if confessing a love too deep for words.

Then, he gently rested her ankle on his shoulder.

His dark green, slitted pupils churned with a violent undercurrent.

"Yaoyao, I love you so much..."

’No... don’t.’

’The words wouldn’t come out.’

Mingye let out a muffled grunt and frowned in pain. He had been too greedy.

Su Yaoyao’s soft cries spilled out uncontrollably...

The morning sun filtered gently through the gaps in the curtains, casting its light on Su Yaoyao’s bed.

Su Yaoyao slowly opened her eyes, her body feeling incredibly heavy and exhausted, as if she had truly gone through a fierce battle.

Last night’s long, vivid dream flooded her mind. Every detail of her intimate interactions with Mingye in the dream was as clear as if it had actually happened.

Recalling the scenes from her dream, Su Yaoyao’s cheeks instantly flushed a fiery red, and her heart began to pound uncontrollably.

She subconsciously patted her burning cheeks, trying to banish the blushing, heart-pounding images from her mind.

’How could I have a dream like that?’ she fretted inwardly. ’I feel like a teenage girl with a crush, completely losing my usual cool and composure.’

Meanwhile, in another room in the old castle, Mingye was also slowly waking up.

He too was lost in last night’s unbelievably realistic dream, as if he could still feel the passion and deep affection from his intimate moments with Su Yaoyao.

Mingye threw back the covers and looked down, his face instantly turning red with embarrassment.

An indescribable sense of awkwardness and bashfulness washed over him.

Helpless, he could only get up in a hurry and stride to the bathroom. He turned on the cold shower, trying to cool his heated mind with the icy water and banish the lingering, amorous dream.

Su Yaoyao lay stunned in bed for a while before forcing herself to get up.

She went into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and let the cool water pour over her body, trying to clear her head.

But even as the water washed over her, scenes from the dream kept flashing through her mind, and her heart was still beating ridiculously fast.

After washing up, Su Yaoyao changed into a simple, proper outfit. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she secretly warned herself, ’I need to focus on the peace talks. I absolutely can’t let these strange dreams distract me.’ Taking a deep breath, she pushed the door open and left her room.

On the other side, Mingye finished his cold shower, changed into clean clothes, and tried his best to regain his usual composure.

But whenever he thought of the dream, the tips of his ears couldn’t help but turn red. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

He knew his feelings for Su Yaoyao were becoming increasingly difficult to suppress, which was why he’d had such a wonderful dream last night.

When Mingye walked out of his room, he happened to run into Su Yaoyao in the hallway.

The moment their eyes met, it was as if they had both been struck by an electric shock, and they quickly looked away. A trace of awkwardness and a subtle tension filled the air.

"G-Good morning." Mingye was the first to break the silence, his voice slightly unnatural.

"Morning," Su Yaoyao replied softly, keeping her head down, not daring to look Mingye in the eye.

Mingye stood before Su Yaoyao, looking slightly nervous, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

"I... I have something to tell you." His voice wasn’t loud, but it held an undeniable resolve.

Only then did Su Yaoyao look up at him. A flash of anticipation crossed her eyes. ’Maybe he’s going to agree to the peace talks.’

"What is it?" Su Yaoyao blinked her bright, lively eyes, her gaze clear as she looked at Mingye.

Her innocent and adorable expression was like a jolt of electricity straight to Mingye’s heart. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, pounding like a drum.

Mingye opened his mouth, but the three words he had rehearsed in his mind countless times—"I love you"—were now caught in his throat, refusing to come out.

He was frantic, screaming inwardly, ’Stupid mouth, just say it! Say you love Yaoyao!’
