Master's Measurements

"Xiao Wu, is Shrek interesting?"

Ning Rongrong held Xiao Wu's arm, and began to indoctrinate her with her thoughts whenever she found an opening.

"Your academy is really interesting, with hair colors like a palette, but those people's gazes are always lecherous! It's quite nauseating."

"You think Zhu Qing is amazing, right? She beat that blonde guy without any chance to retaliate, and that's all thanks to our Master's... ah, no, his excellent guidance!"

She almost let it slip and quickly corrected herself, "Our Master is not only handsome but also incredibly strong. In his eyes, no one is a worthy opponent!"

"Rongrong, I have my own unspeakable difficulties." Xiao Wu's eyes dimmed slightly, and she lowered her head sadly.

Zhu Zhuqing, standing nearby, added at the opportune moment, "Master is a kind-hearted person."

She suddenly remembered her initial misunderstanding of Ye Feiyang's actions, her heart filled with unspoken criticism.

But now, she genuinely believed that their Master, who was a bit greedy, a bit roguish, yet gave them the best without reservation, was a kind-hearted person.

"Oh, let's not talk about that anymore!"

Ning Rongrong changed the subject at the right time, pulling the two along with full energy, "Since we have free time now, let's go shopping! Take whatever you like, I'll pay!"

"Right, Zhu Qing, do you know Master's measurements? I want to prepare a few sets for him..."

Zhu Zhuqing seemed to fall into thought, then said, "I'm not sure of the specifics, but I only know Master said he's eighteen centimeters."

Ning Rongrong: ???

Xiao Wu: ???

Ning Rongrong's face flushed slightly, and she changed the subject. Spotting the Sword Leaf Bracelet on her wrist, she shook it and said, "Ahaha, Xiao Wu, look, isn't this bracelet pretty?"

Xiao Wu: "Ah, it's really beautiful!"

"It's a gift from Master when I became his disciple! It has a hundred cubic meters of storage space inside! As long as you become Master's Personal Disciple, everyone gets one as standard equipment! Right, Senior Sister Zhu Qing?"

Zhu Zhuqing truly admired Ning Rongrong's glib tongue, able to talk non-stop.

However, she still nodded in cooperation, elegantly raising her wrist to reveal an identical bracelet on her hand.

Things gifted by Master should be shown off to make others envious.

Xiao Wu looked at the magical and precious storage bracelet, her eyes full of envy.

She wanted one too!

All her previous luggage was stored in Tang San's belt, which was very inconvenient...

She didn't think much of it before. After all, they had shared a bed for many years. Although nothing happened, they were still much more intimate than ordinary people.

But after Ning Rongrong's bombardment of words about girls needing independence, personal space, and boundaries, she suddenly realized she had done many foolish things in the past.

Although it was mainly because she was young and ignorant back then, and too poor, forced by circumstances.

But now that she had grown up, she really shouldn't be so boundaryless anymore.

Ever since she witnessed Ye Feiyang's calm and slightly mischievous demeanor.

Xiao Wu began to reflect on her feelings for Tang San.

Her heart now leaned more towards treating Tang San as just a brother, and she no longer had any thoughts of developing their relationship further.

As it neared noon, the three of them were laden with shopping bags.

Don't ask why they were carrying them by hand; just know that it felt more like a shopping trip this way.

Ning Rongrong, as the little princess of the sect, was indeed wealthy. When she saw something she liked, she just bought it.

She not only bought things for Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing but also purchased many daily necessities for their courtyard.

When Xiao Wu looked at the high-quality sanitary pads that would last an entire year, along with over a dozen sets of beautiful and exquisite new dresses, new stockings, new shoes, and various small accessories she had only dared to look at before, her eyes turned red with emotion.

Although Zhu Zhuqing, as a noble lady, had never lacked money, this kind of impulsive, big-spending shopping spree was also a first for her.

This time, Ning Rongrong picked out many styles of dresses for her, intending for her to change her fashion style.

She didn't refuse. If Master liked it, it didn't seem impossible to change a little.

It was just that spending someone else's money made her feel a bit guilty.

She thought that she would take better care of this junior sister in the future.

She had to admit that there was a difference in consumption levels between a wealthy sect princess and an ordinary noble.

This was probably the difference between a "group favorite" script and a "comeback" script.

Zhu Zhuqing thought silently as she looked at the excited Ning Rongrong and the moved Xiao Wu.

After they had bought most of what they wanted, the three of them, carrying their bags, prepared to head back.

"Xiao Wu, you must be hungry too, right?"

Ning Rongrong affectionately linked arms with her, "Come to our academy for lunch! Our Master's cooking skills are superb. I guarantee you'll never forget it after just one taste!"

A hint of hesitation and difficulty appeared on Xiao Wu's face: "Still, perhaps it's better not to? I'm afraid, afraid of being misunderstood..."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong chuckled and teased deliberately, "Misunderstood? Are you afraid your 'Third Brother' will misunderstand?"

"It's, it's not like that! Don't talk nonsense!"

Xiao Wu hurriedly denied, "Brother Tang and I are just like siblings! There's nothing romantic between us!"

"Then what are you afraid of?"

Ning Rongrong struck while the iron was hot, continuing her brainwashing endeavor, "Come on, go back with us! If he truly only sees you as a sister, he wouldn't restrict your freedom. If he tries to control you and interfere in everything, that's when you know he has other intentions!"

She shook her head, acting like someone who's been through it all, "Oh, Xiao Wu, you need to be more perceptive!"

Ning Rongrong chuckled to herself, very satisfied with her progress in turning Xiao Wu.

If Ye Feiyang heard these words, he would probably give her a thumbs-up – this disciple has such high comprehension!

She even happily thought: If I successfully complete Master's mission to abduct Xiao Wu, it wouldn't be too much to ask for a kiss as a reward when we get back, right?

No, no, that's too fast. But it's okay to touch Master's "manly waist" just once, right?

If I'm this capable, Master will definitely like me even more!

When the three women, full of laughter, brought Xiao Wu to the small courtyard of Supreme Academy, Ye Feiyang was indeed a bit surprised.

These two disciples have great execution!

They refused to help verbally, but acted swiftly. They've already brought the person back so quickly?

"Master! Master!"

Ning Rongrong chirped as soon as she entered, eager to take credit, "Xiao Wu is having lunch with us! Hurry up and cook, Master! Make sure to make plenty! We didn't dare to eat anything in the city today, so we've been waiting for your cooking on empty stomachs!"

Ye Feiyang looked at Ning Rongrong, who instantly made the quiet courtyard lively, and his mood couldn't help but lighten.

"Alright! Then I, your Master, will once again showcase my culinary skills!" He readily agreed, tied on an apron, and headed for the kitchen.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately followed him quietly. She wanted to help out, and at the same time, she wanted to secretly learn Master's cooking skills.

Ning Rongrong, of course, wouldn't miss such a great opportunity to get closer to Master.

Ning Rongrong fully utilized her talents in the kitchen.

With a nimble turn: Oops! I accidentally bumped into Ye Feiyang.

Then, in a flustered manner: Oops! I accidentally knocked over the bowl of clear water next to me, and the splash landed right on Ye Feiyang's collar.

"Sorry, Master! Let me wipe it for you!"

She immediately took out a small handkerchief and took the opportunity to reach out and touch Ye Feiyang's abdomen.

Abs! Here I come!

This entire seamless combo of "accidentally" bumping into him and "accidentally" touching him was something she had rehearsed in her mind all night!

Xiao Wu, left alone at the scene, watched the kitchen suddenly become crowded and lively, with the chaotic yet strangely harmonious scene unfolding inside. A strong sense of wanting to participate suddenly arose within her.

"Maybe... I should go see if I can help with anything?"

She muttered softly, but her feet involuntarily followed. She leaned against the kitchen doorway, feeling a bit envious, but also feeling like there was no place for her to step.

Ning Rongrong tried several times to "accidentally" spill water on Ye Feiyang, but this guy was like he had eyes on his back, always able to avoid it subtly and precisely.

Ning Rongrong stomped her feet in frustration as her plans were repeatedly thwarted.

After being bumped into unexpectedly once, Ye Feiyang had completely seen through this little girl's schemes.

With his movement techniques, she wanted to touch him?

Unless he wanted her to, she wouldn't even be able to touch his clothes.

Zhu Zhuqing was the most honest. While silently chopping vegetables, she coldly watched Ning Rongrong's various antics.

She didn't say anything, but she swung the cleaver with a bang, the sound of chopping increasing several times. She used this method to express her inner dissatisfaction, her teeth clenched tightly.

She hadn't considered imitating Ning Rongrong, but in the end, she gave up.

It couldn't be helped, her thick skin just couldn't keep up with Ning Rongrong's!

Amidst the chaos and clanging of knives, four dishes and one soup were finally successfully prepared.

The chaos came from Ning Rongrong, and the clanging of knives came from Zhu Zhuqing.

A rich aroma instantly filled the air, making Xiao Wu involuntarily swallow. Just smelling it made her appetite soar.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had already witnessed Master's cooking skills. They had already served their rice and were ready, waiting to start eating.

"Xiao Wu, what are you spacing out for?"

Ning Rongrong mumbled with her mouth full of rice, "Hurry up and get your food! What, aren't you hungry?"

Xiao Wu was momentarily speechless.

It wasn't that she wasn't hungry. It was that she was too embarrassed! She wasn't made of iron!

Ye Feiyang saw Xiao Wu's embarrassment. To successfully "win over" this "cabbage," he acted exceptionally considerate and proactively served a full bowl of rice, handing it to her.

"Here, I've served it for you. Sit down and eat quickly."

This small gesture almost made Xiao Wu shed tears.

This feeling of being carefully looked after, of being valued... Honestly, she was moved to tears!

"Th-thank you!" Her voice was a little choked.

Ye Feiyang waved his hand casually, "No need to be so polite! Come over anytime you want to eat in the future, I'll make sure you're full!"

Xiao Wu's eyes turned red again.

It seemed Ning Rongrong was right, and Zhu Zhuqing hadn't been wrong either.

This was truly a kind-hearted person!

Invisibly, Ye Feiyang gained another "nice guy" card.

Of course, the composition of this "nice guy" card wasn't purely platonic.

Right beside him, one person's desire to rebel against her master and take his place was obvious, always thinking of becoming the "master's wife";

Another, though less obvious, would secretly get annoyed when Ning Rongrong acted up.

Despite the chatter, a comfortable and warm atmosphere permeated the room.

This atmosphere made Xiao Wu feel relaxed, wanting to blend in.

At the very least, she didn't have to worry about her secrets being exposed in front of this man.

"How was it? Not bad, right?" Ye Feiyang asked with a smile.

Xiao Wu nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling, "Super delicious! Can I really come over for free meals often in the future?"

"Of course, you're always welcome."

After a whirlwind of eating, the plates and bowls were all empty.

Even when their stomachs were full, delicious and nutritious food always made people struggle to eat just a little more.

It was clear that these three had the potential to become seasoned foodies.

The difference between ordinary people and foodies was this: ordinary people get full after a couple of bites, while foodies can eat a couple more bites even after they're full.

The scene just now was the perfect illustration.

After finishing the meal, Xiao Wu, carrying the package with her new clothes and treasures, returned to Shrek Academy.

Seeing Xiao Wu beaming, Tang San, who had been listless, immediately strode forward.

But when he saw the beautifully packaged shopping bag in Xiao Wu's hand, his brow immediately furrowed.

"Xiao Wu, why did you buy so many things?"

His tone carried a hint of blame and a touch of jealousy, "How many Gold Coins did that cost?"

Xiao Wu tilted her head and thought for a moment. These were all high-end items selected by Ning Rongrong.

She didn't think much of it and answered honestly, "Um, all of this together cost about two to three hundred Gold Coins."

"Two to three hundred Gold Coins?"

Tang San was greatly shocked upon hearing this, his voice rising by eight octaves, "How could you spend so many Gold Coins on just these clothes?"

He wasn't doing the business of making hidden weapons yet, and his life was still quite constrained.

Two to three hundred Gold Coins was indeed a huge sum for them.

He started lecturing, "Where did you get so many Gold Coins?"

Suddenly remembering what Ning Rongrong had said before they left, he quickly added, "Even if someone gave them to you, don't you have to give a gift in return later?"

Xiao Wu's originally good mood suddenly vanished. She felt Tang San was being a bit too controlling. Even if she had to return the favor later, that was her business, wasn't it?

What was he getting so worked up about? Couldn't he stand to see her have a few more pretty outfits?

A thought inexplicably surfaced in her mind, remembering Ning Rongrong's brainwashing words.

He didn't understand any of the situation, and his first reaction was to blame her for spending too much money?

These things were forced upon her by Ning Rongrong; she had initially refused.

However, Ning Rongrong had simply said lightly: If you don't accept them, I'll just throw them away. I don't take back things I've given.

What could she do? Should she really throw them away to save face?

Sorry, but that wasn't Xiao Wu's personality.

Besides, it wasn't just her who received gifts; Zhu Zhuqing also received the same items, and she accepted them too.

Ning Rongrong's status was that of a sect's little princess, with tens of millions in pocket money alone. She didn't care about these two to three hundred Gold Coins at all.

Just asking Zhu Zhuqing to help clean the house, she casually threw out a hundred Gold Coins. What would Tang San think if he knew about this?

She suddenly felt exhausted and couldn't be bothered to explain further, not intending to tell him Ning Rongrong's identity.

He didn't understand her, nor did he understand the simple friendship between girls where if they liked each other, they'd happily buy things for them.
