Su Qiannai's tone carried a hint of melancholy.
She was already breathtakingly beautiful, and this subtle emotion only enhanced her allure.
Those nearby were almost mesmerized, but Wu Tian felt incredibly awkward.
He averted his gaze from Su Qiannai and stammered, "Don't say that. I just didn't see you."
"If I had seen you, why would I have turned back? You must think I'm far too wicked."
Su Qiannai pouted, "Aren't you wicked? In my heart, you're very wicked indeed."
Although her words seemed to carry a trace of playful anger, they were actually quite flirtatious.
It was exactly like a girlfriend throwing a small tantrum at her boyfriend.
Wu Tian felt completely at a loss, not knowing how to respond.
Due to the relationship between the Sacred Dragon and the Heavenly Phoenix, he and Su Qiannai were destined to be bound together.
In fact, he had already been intimate with Su Qiannai.
Therefore, their relationship was far more complicated than his with any other woman.
Just as his mind was going blank, Lei Qianjiao's voice suddenly came from behind:
"Miss Su, what are you doing here?"
Su Qiannai was slightly taken aback. Seeing Lei Qianjiao approach, she immediately showed a faint smile and said,
"Oh, it's Miss Lei. It's been a long time."
Seeing them greet each other, Wu Tian was stunned and asked with surprise, "Do you know each other?"
Lei Qianjiao nodded and said, "Of course we do."
"Miss Su and I are both Saintesses of the Eight Great Divine Sects, so we've met quite a few times."
She then asked, "Why, I see you talking with Miss Su here. Do you two know each other?"
Wu Tian didn't want to stir up trouble, so he nodded and said, "We've met a few times. We're friends, I suppose."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt an icy aura surge from his back.
His expression immediately froze, and he turned to look at Su Qiannai.
Su Qiannai didn't show much emotion, but Wu Tian could still see a murderous glint in her eyes.
He realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly explained,
"Ah, no, Miss Su and I are quite familiar with each other. We are definitely friends!"
Seeing Wu Tian's somewhat flustered appearance, Lei Qianjiao's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She could sense the unusual nature of their relationship, so she tilted her head and asked, "Really?"
Wu Tian broke out in a sweat from nervousness and quickly nodded, "Really, of course it's true."
"Don't you believe me?"
He thought he had managed to handle Lei Qianjiao.
But unexpectedly, Su Qiannai sensed something from their conversation.
Immediately, she broke into a radiant smile and said with a hint of seduction,
"Wu Tian, what are you talking about?"
"Aren't we more than just friends? We're very close friends, aren't we?"
When she said "close," Su Qiannai deliberately emphasized the word, as if afraid Lei Qianjiao wouldn't hear clearly.
Hearing Su Qiannai's words, Lei Qianjiao was stunned.
With the situation as it was, how could she not detect the provocative intent behind Su Qiannai's words?
She didn't need to guess to know that Wu Tian and Su Qiannai's relationship was definitely not ordinary!
Instantly, a feeling of dissatisfaction surged from her heart.
Her tone became somewhat strange, and she looked at Wu Tian with a subtle expression, saying,
"I never would have thought you'd be so popular."
"I recall Miss Su from the Divine Doctor Sect has always been a goddess admired by all."
"Countless prodigies have proposed to her, but she has ignored them all."
"Yet, I didn't expect her relationship with you to be so good."
"I must say, you're quite skilled."
Wu Tian felt his hair stand on end.
What was this situation?
Why did it feel like a domestic dispute?
As he racked his brain for the correct response, Su Qiannai suddenly smiled again and said,
"Miss Lei, you're too kind. How can I compare to you?"
"Look at you, you're so beautiful and powerful. You must have even more admirers than I do."
"In my heart, you've always been a proud peacock, but now this peacock is displaying its feathers to someone it shouldn't."
"Something like this is truly unexpected."
Lei Qianjiao wasn't as adept at taunting as Su Qiannai. Hearing this, anger immediately surfaced on her face, and she said,
"What do you mean? What do you mean by 'shouldn't'?"
"I, Lei Qianjiao, do whatever I want. Do I need anyone's permission?"
"Are you saying this today with the intention of opposing me?"
Su Qiannai was not to be outdone, a cold smile playing on her lips,
"Miss Lei, don't speak so harshly. What do you mean by 'opposing'?"
"I just want to tell Miss Lei that some people are best not provoked."
"Otherwise, you might not have a good ending."
"You!" Lei Qianjiao's eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
The two women confronted each other, their gazes clashing, seemingly dropping the temperature to zero.
The onlookers were stunned, not understanding why these two stunning women had suddenly fallen out.
However, there were those with sharp minds who immediately saw what was happening.
They immediately cast envious glances at Wu Tian.
To have just one such perfect woman was enough to make one smile even in the afterlife.
Yet, here these two were, fighting over Wu Tian. What kind of logic was this?
Was there still justice? Was there still law?
The more some people thought about it, the angrier they became, wishing they could rush forward and punch Wu Tian.
Sandwiched between the two women, Wu Tian was so embarrassed he wanted to crawl into a hole.
He could tell that Su Qiannai had already reached the Mid-stage Immortal realm.
Her speed of improvement was considered quite fast.
But Lei Qianjiao was now a Second-turn Golden Immortal. In such a confrontation, he truly feared that Lei Qianjiao might lose control and kill Su Qiannai with a single palm.
Therefore, he quickly said, "Oh, alright, alright. What are you two doing?"
"Since you know each other, you're all friends. Why should friends be so stiff with each other?"
Lei Qianjiao snorted and said, "You should ask yourself."
"If you had been honest, would the situation have turned out like this?"
Su Qiannai sneered, "Don't say he's not honest. Look at yourself first."
"Who knows if this is his problem, or if certain people are not honest themselves and insist on getting close to him?"
