"If you dare to run away, I'll freeze you into an ice sculpture and sleep with you every day!"
Hyotei's threat is simple and brutal.
Xue Di paused for a moment as she drew circles on Dongfang Jing's chest.
She propped herself up halfway and looked down at Dongfang Jing.
Her long, snow-white hair fell down, brushing against his cheeks, tickling him.
"Little brother, don't worry, we'll wait patiently."
"But you're not allowed to go anywhere tonight."
"Stay here with us."
After saying that, she lay down again and rested her head on Dongfang Jing's shoulder.
That night.
Dongfang Jing stayed up all night.
On the left is Yuki-tei, on the right is Hyo-tei.
Although the two did not take any further action, the presence of two beautiful women beside him made the night truly agonizing for this man with all his functions being outstanding and normal.
...
The next morning.
With dark circles under her eyes, Dongfang Jing quietly climbed out of bed.
It seemed that both the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor were still fast asleep.
He breathed a sigh of relief and slipped out of the room like a thief.
When Dongfang Jing returned to his room, he saw the little girl on the bed and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"Brother?" Dongfang Yao rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "Yao'er wanted to ambush you last night, but who would have thought you would go to keep Sister Xue and Sister Bing'er company."
"Yao'er waited in your room for a while, then couldn't resist falling asleep."
After she finished speaking, her gaze swept over Dongfang Jing's disheveled clothes and tired expression.
Then, her small mouth slowly opened into an "O" shape.
"They say women are like wolves in their thirties and tigers in their forties, so Sister Xue and Sister Bing'er... hundreds of thousands... wow, bro, it's amazing you can hold on!"
"Stop talking nonsense, brat. Nothing happened between us last night." Dongfang Jing rolled her eyes, took off her shoes, and got into bed.
He ignored Dongfang Yao on the bed, and since the bed was big, he simply found a spot to lie down.
"Yao'er, you're in charge of supervising everyone's training today. I need to catch up on some sleep..."
Dongfang Jing's breathing gradually became even, and she drifted off to sleep.
Dongfang Yao gazed quietly at his face, leaned forward, and offered him a gentle kiss.
The girl leaned down beside him, propping her chin up with her hand.
He flipped his hand and took out a small glass bottle.
She gently shook the pink potion inside and whispered, "There are too many opponents. First there's Sister Biji and Qiu'er, then Sister Xue'er and Sister Bing'er, and there's also the experienced and ever-watchful Sister A'yin. If Yao'er waits any longer, she might only be left with meat soup..."
"So... I'm sorry, brother..."
...
As Dongfang Jing slept, his consciousness drifted into a warm white light.
He had a dream.
The scene in the dream was very familiar, very clear, and incredibly grand.
Flowers in full bloom, colorful ribbons fluttering in the wind.
Brigitte wore a strapless emerald green wedding dress, smiling gently, and held a bouquet of pure white orchids in her hands.
Wang Qiu'er wore a gold and pink mermaid-style wedding dress that accentuated her stunning curves. She gazed at him tenderly, holding a vibrant red rose.
Ah Yin's wedding dress was sky blue, which made her look even more gentle. She held a bouquet of blue silver grass and gazed at him quietly.
The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress wore white and green wedding dresses respectively. They stood side by side, their cool faces carrying a hint of barely perceptible shyness.
The last person wore a pure white princess wedding dress, with tiny starlight adorning the hem.
Her face gradually became clearer through the haze.
It's Dongfang Yao.
Six brides, each holding a bouquet of flowers, walked towards him step by step.
This scene was completely unexpected by Dongfang Jing.
But recent events have made him feel that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, everything in this dream will become reality.
Dongfang Jing did not feel any resistance; instead, a sense of calm welled up within him.
This seems to be destiny, a beautiful thing that is bound to happen in the future.
Dongfang Jing did not actively try to break free from this dream, but instead let it continue to evolve.
He reached out his hands, ready to greet his brides.
However, the scene before my eyes suddenly changed.
The scene shifts to the living room of the villa.
The six brides sat around the sofa, all dressed in loose-fitting loungewear, chatting and laughing.
The camera zooms in.
They gently stroked their slightly protruding bellies, their faces radiating happiness and maternal glow.
She even waved to Dongfang Jing, signaling him to come over and listen, because the baby seemed to have moved.
Dongfang Jing's brain instantly shut down.
Weren't they just getting married?
How did it happen in the next second...?
This is progressing way too fast!
The intense shock jolted him awake.
Dongfang Jing opened his eyes, and what he saw was a dim, yellowish light.
Outside the window, the afterglow of the setting sun painted the sky orange-red.
"She slept for so long..."
A dry feeling came from my throat, and my body was a little stiff from sleeping for so long.
He shook his head, sat up, and was about to get out of bed to get a drink of water.
On the bedside table, someone had placed a wooden cup, which was more than half full of liquid.
Without thinking much, Dongfang Jing grabbed the cup, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
The cool liquid slid down my throat, taking away the heat from the journey.
The taste is a bit strange.
Why does this drink taste so much like iced tea?
It has a sweet taste with a hint of black tea astringency, and an indescribable, unique floral and herbal fragrance.
He put down the cup and noticed a few faint pink water droplets remaining on the rim.
"It's probably because Sister Yin has come up with some special tea or beverage again. It's not too bad."
He didn't think much of it, pinched his brow, and felt a bit dizzy and inexplicably hot.
I got up and staggered towards the bathroom, intending to take a shower to clear my head.
...
Downstairs in the villa, in the living room.
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and their group returned to the villa after a day of training, all drenched in sweat.
"I'm dying of thirst! Water! Where's the water?" Ning Rongrong shouted as she rushed towards the kitchen.
On the sofa, A-Yin, Xue-Tei, and Bing-Tei were elegantly enjoying the last of the tea and desserts on the coffee table, looking relaxed and content.
"Sister Yin, is the captain still sleeping? Aren't you going to wake him up?" Dugu Yan asked.
Ah Yin smiled and shook her head, but her gaze fell on Xue Di and Bing Di, saying, "Perhaps they were exhausted from working hard last night."
At the same time, Dongfang Yao sneaked into the kitchen.
She frantically searched through the cupboards and stovetop, looking for a special little pot that she had hidden away.
That was the "spiked iced tea" she secretly prepared this morning before everyone woke up.
She went to great lengths to dilute the potion's overly potent effects and eerie color, and also to avoid arousing Dongfang Jing's suspicion.
But now, the pot is gone.
Dongfang Yao searched every corner of the kitchen, even checking the trash can, but still found nothing.
A sense of foreboding rose in her heart, and she had no choice but to peek out and whisper to Ah Yin in the living room.
"Sister Yin, have you... have you seen a pot of light pink iced tea in the kitchen?"
Upon hearing this, Ah Yin smiled apologetically, "I thought Ah Jing had gotten up early again to make some drinks... I'm sorry, I saw there wasn't much, and since Sister Xue'er and Sister Bing'er were in the living room, the three of us shared it..."
She pointed to the empty teapot on the coffee table: "Did you make this? I'm so sorry. Why don't you tell me the recipe and I'll make you a new one?"
Dongfang Yao followed her finger and froze.
She looked at her three older sisters, whose faces were rosy but who were clear-headed and showed no signs of abnormality, and fell into deep confusion.
Why did these three people have no reaction after drinking it?
Could it be that their strength is too great, directly suppressing the effects of the medicine?
"There's no need to redo it, ladies. You drank it, didn't you feel anything?"
"What does it taste like?" A-Yin exchanged a puzzled look with Xue Di and Bing Di. "It tastes pretty good, a bit like iced black tea, and a bit like flower tea. What's wrong?"
"N-nothing...it's nothing..." Dongfang Yao scratched her head, completely confused.
Something's not right.
I clearly tested this on mice before, and the diluted medicine was still very potent. How could it not work?
Just as Dongfang Yao's mind was in a state of confusion, A Yin casually mentioned something else.
"Oh right, seeing that Ah Jing was sleeping so soundly, I was worried that he would be thirsty when he woke up, so before we finished drinking, I poured him a glass and put it on his bedside table."
Ah Yin glanced at the wall clock, stood up, and said, "Little Mirror has been sleeping for too long. I'll go check on him."
Snow Empress and Ice Empress exchanged a glance, then stood up and followed, continuing to tease their adorable little brother.
Confusion still lingered in Dongfang Yao's mind, but out of curiosity, she followed after them.
At this time
From the bathroom on the third floor, one could faintly hear Dongfang Jing's heavy breathing and the dull thud of the showerhead hitting the wall.
