The Villainesses Are All On My Side, How Can You Compete With Me? - Chapter 14:

Chapter 14: A Kiss, Liu Bai Wants to Propose

“Hahahahaha…”

After the shock passed, Liu Jianglong burst into wild laughter, his excitement overflowing. The other elders were equally thrilled. At this moment, when they looked at Liu Bai, it was as if they were seeing a future Holy Son. He was the Liu family’s hope for rising again and reclaiming glory!

“As long as Young Master grows up safely and becomes a Holy Son in the future, our Liu family will rise to become a Holy-level force! At that time, not just in the Great Zhou—even in the entire Azure Dragon Domain—we’ll have the power to do as we please!”

“Haha, we can wipe out whoever displeases us!”

“Exactly! And that Empress of the Great Zhou—back then we helped her ascend the throne, and now she keeps thinking about getting rid of us! Once Young Master matures, he can just slap her to death and support a new Emperor!”

“Heh, by then, we’ll decide who becomes Emperor!”

The elders were all incomparably excited.

When they looked at Liu Bai, it was like they were gazing at a brand new future!

But listening to all this, Liu Bai’s lips twitched slightly.

Wipe out whoever you want? Decide who becomes Emperor?

Those really sounded like things a Villain clan would say.

But so what?

The Liu family birthed him, raised him, and protected him!

If he became strong, then he would make sure the Liu family ruled the world!

Thinking this, a boundless ambition surged within Liu Bai.

“Right, Father, I want to propose marriage to Luo Li.”

Suddenly, Liu Bai spoke.

The others exchanged glances at his words.

“No problem!” Liu Jianglong laughed heartily, but then hesitated slightly, “Xiao Bai, your physique is extremely powerful, potentially Holy Son-level. That girl Luo Li isn’t bad, but compared to you, she’s far behind.”

“She’s not quite worthy of you.”

“How about letting her be a concubine for now and keeping the position of official wife open?”

Liu Bai shook his head and said, “Father, whether wife or concubine, if she marries me, she’s my wife. There’s no distinction between wife and concubine.”

What a joke.

Luo Li had been wholeheartedly devoted to him—how could he allow her to be oppressed by someone else as a concubine after marrying in?

Besides…

Luo Li was his lucky star. His Primordial Heavenly Venerable Body and the Emperor Weapon – Executing Immortal Sword had both come as feedback through her.

He had to bring her home and cherish her!

Hearing this, Liu Jianglong thought for a moment, then nodded, “Alright, as you wish. I’ll have someone prepare the betrothal gifts and visit the Luo family.”

“Great. I’ll go with them then.”

“Brother Liu Bai…”

Just as Liu Bai was thinking about proposing, Luo Li had already come running to the Liu residence. Seeing him return safely from the palace, she breathed a sigh of relief. “Brother Liu Bai, I’m so glad you’re alright.”

“Heh, what could possibly happen to me?” Liu Bai smiled gently.

Liu Jianglong and a few elders knowingly left to give the two of them some space.

“Brother Liu Bai, I read the imperial decree.” Luo Li said, her face blushing slightly. “Brother Liu Bai, don’t worry, in this life, I won’t marry anyone but you.”

Saying that took a lot of courage.

She felt that whether it was the silver hairpin incident or him intercepting the imperial edict this time, Liu Bai had clearly shown his intentions.

She wanted to be brave and take a step forward too—to express her feelings.

Looking at Luo Li’s flushed cheeks, her radiant face, and those shy, watery eyes staring at him, Liu Bai felt a stir in his heart. His throat went dry as he stared at her soft pink lips.

“A’Li… can I kiss you?”

If anyone else had said something so bold, Luo Li would’ve stabbed them with her spear by now.

But this was the man she loved most—Liu Bai.

Her face turned an even deeper shade of red, almost bleeding with embarrassment.

Yet she didn’t resist and gently nodded.

Liu Bai reached out and caressed her cheek. The soft warmth of her skin carried a faint heat. He gently cupped her face and leaned in, looking at her tender lips…

Then, he pressed down.

So soft.

So sweet.

So fragrant.

Liu Bai’s heart trembled, as if he were savoring the most exquisite taste in the world. He gently and carefully brushed his lips against hers.

But that wasn’t enough.

He slowly extended his tongue, sliding into the warm, moist space inside.

He alternated between tenderness and dominance…

Luo Li followed his lead, her eyes becoming increasingly misty, her consciousness drifting, allowing Liu Bai to claim her without resistance.

After a long while.

Just as Luo Li began to feel breathless, Liu Bai finally let her go reluctantly.

Their lips parted, leaving behind a silver thread.

Luo Li lowered her head, as shy as a little ostrich, wanting to dig a hole and hide.

So this was what kissing felt like?

Tingly and numb.

So shy.

So blissful.

Looking at her, Liu Bai smiled slightly and pulled her into a hug. He whispered, “Tomorrow, I’ll go to the Luo family to propose.”

“Mm…” Luo Li nodded instinctively, but quickly realized what he had said and exclaimed, “Brother Liu Bai, y-you want to propose?”

“Of course, I have to take responsibility for you.”

“S-So soon? I’m not ready yet…”

“Heh, you don’t need to be. Just say yes.”

Liu Bai continued holding her close, his tone slightly domineering.

But that bit of dominance didn’t make Luo Li resist.

She had already fallen for Liu Bai. Him coming to propose and giving her an official status—there was nothing more blissful in the world.

If anything, it would be the wedding night.

As if imagining something…

Luo Li’s face turned even redder.

If the people of the Great Zhou knew that the infamous Blood Rakshasa was currently cuddling in Liu Bai’s arms like a shy little bird…

Countless jaws would drop.

The next morning.

With the help of the maids, Liu Bai woke up early.

He changed into clean white robes and set off with the betrothal gifts, heading straight to the Luo family to propose.

But midway, he ran into someone.

It was…

Luo Qingqing, direct disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect!

When she saw him, her eyes lit up and she stepped forward, “Young Master Liu, what a coincidence meeting you here.”

It wasn’t a coincidence at all.

She had been waiting outside for a long time, just for this ‘accidental encounter’ to find an opportunity to get close to him.

She had even dressed in a gown more exquisite than the one she wore at her birthday banquet. Her face had a light layer of makeup, making her look even more beautiful.

Clearly…

She was planning to use a beauty trap.

But unfortunately…

Liu Bai only gave her a glance before walking right past her without stopping. Naturally, Luo Qingqing wasn’t willing to give up so easily.

She quickly followed.

“Young Master Liu, where are you heading so early? And with so many things,” Luo Qingqing asked, glancing at the large chests behind him.

“I don’t have time to play with you. I’m in a hurry to propose,” Liu Bai said flatly.

What?

Propose?!

Luo Qingqing froze on the spot.

She had been planning to use a beauty trap on Liu Bai, but he was on his way to someone else’s home—to propose!!

Several people following Liu Bai cast glances at her.

As if looking at a clown.

Some even looked at her as if she were a seductress.

After all, pestering a man who was heading out to propose—wasn’t that exactly what a seductress would do?
