The Protagonist is Always Intimidating Me - Chapter 33

“What happened here?”

A soft voice sounded, and the guards of Yinchen Hall paused, stepping aside and bowing in a low voice, “Captain, sir.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, we lost, we lost.” Mo Lei shook his head, watching this scene and addressing the group that had come out with him, “We should learn from them—look at how respectful their address is, how sincere their attitude, how polite their tone…”

“So, are you thinking of changing sides?” Bai Meng raised an eyebrow.

Mo Lei: “……”

Damn it, I can’t argue with this guy.

Mo Lei settled the horses, leaving Bai Meng and Mo Hankui standing on the spot, blocked by Yinchen Hall’s guards.

Bai Meng smiled slyly at Feng Suiling, observing the other’s delicate, feminine appearance, and noticed that Feng Suiling’s dark brown eyes occasionally glanced at Mo Hankui standing beside him, with an unidentifiable glint flashing in those dark eyes.

“Mo…” Feng Suiling had just started addressing Mo Hankui when Bai Meng stepped in to obstruct Feng Suiling’s line of sight. “Captain Feng Suiling, correct? I am Bai Meng, captain of Xingge Hall’s guard team.”

With that, he forcibly grasped the hand Feng Suiling had extended toward Mo Hankui, squeezing it tightly.

Mo Hankui: “……”

Feng Suiling: “……”

Trying to look pitiful? Considering height and build, I’m weaker than you.

“Let’s go.”

Mo Hankui glanced at Bai Meng, his tone tinged with resignation.

“All right.”

Bai Meng cheerfully released his grip and walked side-by-side with Mo Hankui, unfazed.

Damn it!

!!!

This guy’s grip is so strong!!!

Feng Suiling retracted his hand, his forced smile disappearing, his fair hand faintly red and involuntarily trembling within his sleeve.

Aren’t you the one who likes to secretly provoke Mo Hankui the most?

Aren’t you the one who likes to act tough?

Then I’ll teach you real resilience.

A benevolent smile crossed Bai Meng’s delicate face. Mo Lei, just regrouping with them, caught a glimpse and shivered, instantly breaking out in goosebumps.

The group moved toward a side hall of Yinchen Hall. Along the way, Bai Meng eagerly took in the encompassing architecture, clearly fascinated by his surroundings.

The area layout was reminiscent of an ancient city-state, commoners resided outside the main palace, and the hall master and guards resided within. The main palace resembled a royal palace, with areas carefully designated for different functions.

In fact, the layout of each hall was quite similar, except for regional preferences—Yinchen Hall was often decorated with fiery red phoenix motifs, while Xingge Hall favored black dragons.

When Bai Meng and Mo Hankui entered the Xingge Tower, Bai Meng felt like he had stepped into another world.

This was where they had reunited.

Mo Hankui kept a constant eye on Bai Meng from his peripheral vision and noticed Bai Meng’s genuinely joyful smile, and for once, a hint of warmth softened his typically serene gray eyes.

“I’ll open the door, I’ll open the door~”

Bai Meng quickened his pace, moving ahead of everyone else to push open the door of the central hall, only to be stunned by the scene within. He immediately slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

Everyone: “……”

“What happened?” Mo Jiuge looked at Bai Meng’s startled expression, visibly intrigued. “Is there a problem inside?”

“…It’s not exactly a problem,” Bai Meng hesitated, releasing his hold on the door. Then, adopting a different posture, he tried opening the door again, muttering, “I must’ve opened it the wrong way.”

After he opened the door and saw the scene unchanged, he slammed it shut again, even louder this time.

Everyone: “……”

Mo Hankui furrowed his brows and stepped forward, “What did you see…”

“Naked people.”

Mo Hankui: “……”

Everyone: “……”

“Completely naked, not a stitch on.”

Mo Hankui: “……”

Everyone: “……”

“And there wasn’t just one person—there was a whole group, assisting each other in some very intense… physical training that’s a bit too much for the young ones to handle.”

Mo Hankui: “……”

Everyone: “……”

Without a word, Mo Hankui immediately wielded his black whip, bringing it down forcefully against the door.

The whip infused with Sheng energy cracked through the air, splintering the wooden door and leaving a dent in the floor, a clear testament to the wielder’s fury.

Inside, a group of beastmen, fully unclothed, were engaged in activities that, if seen by authorities, would certainly result in a “chat over tea” at the police station. The stimulating scene was intense enough to make any young onlooker question their orientation.

“Hall Master, why don’t you and the others wait outside? I’ll go inside to admonish them!” Bai Meng nudged Mo Hankui to stand back with the others, slipping inside alone under everyone’s watchful gaze.

“Disgraceful! Morally reprehensible! Utterly shameless!” Bai Meng’s dark eyes widened with keen interest as he observed, muttering to himself, “Wow, that one’s a wolf in beast form, with a furry tail attached to his bare backside…”

Everyone: “……”

Mo Lei and Mo Chao reached out in unison, one covering Mo Lengsui’s eyes and the other his ears.

Mo Hankui: “……”

Suddenly drained of energy, Mo Hankui felt more inclined to restrain Bai Meng and teach him not to gaze at others’ bodies recklessly.

Unbothered, the beastmen continued their wild antics. Bai Meng observed the scene and noticed the incense in the room was so thick that several beastmen’s ears and tails were fully exposed, their flushed faces numb, eyes vacant.

A fleeting, unidentifiable expression crossed Bai Meng’s dark eyes.

After a quick glance, Bai Meng turned to leave, but as he was about to exit, one of the beastmen reached out to grab his leg, seemingly inviting him to join the “fun.”

“Thanks, but I’m not interested in this game,” Bai Meng said with a smile, lifting his other leg and quickly snapping the hand gripping him with a clean stomp, his tone unchanged. “Since you’re using our Xingge Hall’s space, don’t forget to pay up afterwards. Otherwise, I’ll have a word with your hall master.”

“Enjoy yourselves~ Remember to settle the room fee.”

Accompanied by cries of pain, Bai Meng walked out. However, some were still bold enough to reach for him. Mo Hankui frowned at the sight and had just lifted his foot to step in when Bai Meng sprang like a monkey onto him, wrapping both arms and legs around him and, without hesitation, delivered a passionate kiss.

Mo Hankui: “!!!”

Everyone: “!!!”

Bai Meng released the stunned Mo Hankui, his smile a mischievous crescent, then leaned close to Mo Hankui’s ear and whispered so only they could hear, “The beastmen inside were drugged. The entire room is filled with an aphrodisiac scent. Don’t go in.”

“……” Mo Hankui immediately grasped Bai Meng’s meaning and, without bothering to pull Bai Meng off, wrapped his arms around him and turned away.

Mo Jiuge and the others looked on with complex expressions. Mo Hankui kept his composure and offered no explanation, only directing a quiet command to the stunned onlookers, “We’re leaving.” Then, holding Bai Meng, they vanished from everyone’s sight.

Everyone: “……”

“Tsk, tsk, guess he really couldn’t hold back,” Mo Lei commented meaningfully.

Mini Theater:

Leaning close to Mo Hankui’s ear, he whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Want to hook up?”

“Sure.”
