  Bai Qingqing’s sudden explosion caught Bella and Alva in a daze for a moment. Bella hid into Alva’s arms and was the first to snap out of her shock.

  “That’s my favorite piece of clothing. How dare you throw it into the river!” Bella said in an accusing tone with a finger pointing at the river.

  With one arm holding Bella, Alva took a look at her face, before striding towards Bai Qingqing. Without even giving her a chance to explain, he grabbed Bai Qingqing’s arm and forcibly pulled her to the river.

  “Go down and retrieve it for her.” Alva placed a hand on Bai Qingqing’s back and pressed her head into the water.

  “Ooh!” Bai Qingqing’s first instinct was to shield her tummy. With one hand holding her stomach, she propped her other hand against the ground to lessen the burden on her body.

  Holding her breath, Bai Qingqing tried her best to raise her head as her brown and wavy hair spread out in the water like seaweed.

  Sensing the powerless struggle underneath his palm, Alva’s heart softened, and he reduced his strength. He turned back and glanced at Bella. Upon seeing the look on her face—it was apparent she was waiting to see him teach Bai Qingqing a lesson—his heart toughened, and he pushed her head into the water yet deeper.

  Unable to hold her breath anymore, Bai Qingqing shifted her hand away from her tummy and reached Alva’s back, then moved up and grabbed his long hair, before shoving him forward.

  With a splatter, Alva—caught off-guard—fell into the water.

  Subsequently, Bai Qingqing also rolled into the river, having lost her balance.

  “Alva!”


  Amid Bella’s screams, Bai Qingqing and Alva emerged from the water one after the other.

  Alva’s expression was kind of stunned.

  He was pushed into the river by a female! If word got out, he would definitely be ridiculed by the females! He prayed that Bella wouldn’t despise him.

  But then again, Bai Qingqing truly had enormous strength. Did she utilize the power her spouse gave her? Seems like her spouse was very powerful.

  But when Alva looked up at Bai Qingqing, before his expression could recover, it became completely dumbfounded.

  The female’s curly wet hair flew in the water and stuck to her fair skin. The extreme contrast formed between the black and white instantly made the scenery behind pale in comparison.

  There were still some purples traces remaining on Bai Qingqing’s face, but as the water dripped down her face, they became fainter and fainter.

  Without the disguise of her “birthmarks” and hair, the beauty of her petite oval-shaped face was revealed, and her delicate and gentle facial features also became clearer.

  Her doggie-like downturned eyes didn’t have the bewitching quality of the peacock tribe, but they were clear and pure, exuding a child-like innocence, making one unable to shift his gaze away.

  “Alva, why do you keep staring at her?” Bella, standing by the shore, could only see the back of Bai Qingqing’s head. As such, Alva’s stunned expression made no sense to her.

  With his gaze fixed on Bai Qingqing’s face, Alva looked completely dumbfounded. His body had forgotten how to move, yet he felt like he was flying freely, like a formless gas surrounding the beautiful female before him.

  Only when Bai Qingqing suddenly lost all her strength and fell limp into the water did Alva snap out of his trance and hurried over to grab hold of her.

  “Bai Qingqing?”


  Hugging the soft female in his arms, Alva felt like he was dreaming.

  He cautiously reached out to touch Bai Qingqing’s skin, which still had some remnants of the purple stains. The instant his hand made contact with her skin, that smudge of color completely came off, revealing a palm-sized flawless face that was devoid of the color of blood; even her lips appeared incredibly pale.

  However, Alva didn’t notice the paleness. He was still completely entranced by her exquisite beauty, feeling that even those tears slipping out of that pair of large eyes appeared so beautiful and dreamy.
