Zhu Zhuqing: Excuse Me, How Do I Get to the Rose Inn?

"Shrek Academy?"

Chi Xiu was dazed for a moment.

That was right—Ning Rongrong was twelve this year. It looked like she had reached the age to attend Shrek Academy.

In the end, the story had still reached this point.

Seeing Chi Xiu remain silent, Xue Qinghe picked up the conversation. "I heard it's an academy that specializes in accepting monsters. Brother Chi, you should fit their admission standards quite well."

Chi Xiu smiled and shook his head. "This is my home. I'm not changing academies."

Xue Qinghe smiled without saying anything. She truly wanted Chi Xiu to attend Spirit Hall Academy, but unfortunately, he did not appreciate the offer.

"I wanted to come to Purple Star Academy too, but Father insisted that I go to Shrek Academy."

Ning Rongrong looked somewhat dejected.

Chi Xiu looked at her strangely. "Then why do you want me to go with you?"

"I don't want to go alone. I heard that place is run-down and poor, and the teachers are harsh too. Just come take a look with me!"

Ning Rongrong clung to Chi Xiu's arm and kept acting spoiled.

"Chi Xiu-gege~"

She leaned her beautiful eyes closer, her fair, shapely legs lightly brushing against Chi Xiu. His bones practically melted at the sound of her voice. Feeling a little embarrassed, he looked toward Xue Qinghe, who immediately picked up her teacup and pretended to drink tea.

"Fine, fine. I'll go register with you."

"Chi Xiu-gege is the best~"

Ning Rongrong happily narrowed her eyes.

"Then I'll be going! See you tomorrow, Chi Xiu-gege!"

Watching Ning Rongrong leave, Chi Xiu sat there blankly. What was it like to be spoiled by someone since childhood? Chi Xiu knew all too well. Every single time, without exception, he lost to Ning Rongrong's spoiled little act.

"You and Rongrong are very close."

Xue Qinghe said enviously.

"Brother Xue, you don't know her. She's full of tricks. The way she treats me depends entirely on her mood."

"But she likes you. I can tell. If little Rongrong doesn't like someone, she won't even bother acknowledging them."

Xue Qinghe stared into Chi Xiu's eyes.

"This..."

Chi Xiu had no response.

Night fell.

After washing up, Chi Xiu climbed into bed, ready to sleep. He still had to accompany Ning Rongrong tomorrow morning.

It might look like he was accompanying her to register, but in truth, that girl merely wanted an excuse to have Chi Xiu go shopping with her. As for registration, she would probably only do it when she remembered.

Chi Xiu saw through her little scheme perfectly.

Just then, a familiar fragrance drifted over. Chi Xiu turned his head and saw a silver-haired little beauty with a graceful figure standing prettily beside the bed.

Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes shimmered. As if performing a magic trick, she pulled down her shoulder strap and smiled as she revealed the alluring sight beneath it to Chi Xiu. She quickly pulled it back up, turned around, and pretended to scold him angrily. "What are you looking at, you big pervert!"

"Pfft!"

Chi Xiu turned away. "Who's looking at you?"

"Master isn't being honest. You obviously want to look."

It was as if Chi Xiu had opened up Gu Yuena's inner channels. She had now completely unleashed her nature. Chi Xiu never could have imagined that the aloof Gu Yuena from the novel would be so bold in front of the person she liked.

She climbed onto the bed and shook Chi Xiu's arm.

"Master, come on!"

As she spoke, she rolled in front of Chi Xiu and looked at him expectantly, her fair little feet moving restlessly.

Breathing in the seductive fragrance so close at hand, Chi Xiu truly could not endure it any longer.

Damn it, let's do this!

This time, Gu Yuena covered her mouth for two hours.

The next day.

Early morning.

Chi Xiu opened his eyes and habitually felt the bedsheet. One touch was enough to tell that its silky texture did not belong to a dormitory bed.

Over the past six years, he had been teleported countless times. He was already thoroughly familiar with the process.

First, check whether the woman beside him was awake. If she was not, secretly touch her once, then hide under the bed.

Chi Xiu turned his head and was met by a pair of golden eyes staring straight at him.

Xue Qinghe froze.

There was actually a young man lying beside her. He had bright eyes, white teeth, fair skin, and exquisite features without the slightest flaw. Every line of his face seemed as though it had been carefully sculpted by the heavens.

What a beautiful young man. Beautiful was the only word that could describe him.

She should have acted immediately, but Chi Xiu's breathtaking appearance left her sitting there in a daze.

Only after a long while did Xue Qinghe come to her senses and ask coldly, "Who are you?"

She shifted back slightly, clutching the blanket over her chest.

Chi Xiu was even more shocked. This was the first time he had been teleported into Qian Renxue's bed. They had clearly met just yesterday—what a coincidence.

Although she was still dressed as a man, the curves beneath her sleepwear clearly belonged to a woman, and one with an exceptionally good figure at that.

"I'll be leaving soon."

After saying that, Chi Xiu reached out and touched Qian Renxue's cheek, then withdrew his hand. It all happened almost instantly. Only after Chi Xiu pulled his hand back did Qian Renxue cover her cheek in shock.

She could vaguely sense the young man's cultivation. His Soul Power was so abundant it was suffocating. In only a moment, Qian Renxue determined that this young man's level was certainly no lower than her own.

"What do you want? Why did you touch me?"

Qian Renxue continued backing away, her vigilance reaching its peak.

Chi Xiu was about to leave when he suddenly felt like teasing her after hearing that.

"I wanted to see what you looked like in women's clothes. I remember you looked quite pretty."

Chi Xiu smiled teasingly.

Qian Renxue's pupils contracted sharply. This could be considered her greatest secret.

"What else do you know?"

She stared intently at Chi Xiu as a layer of defensive golden holy light gradually covered her body.

Chi Xiu glanced at her and deliberately leaned closer. To his surprise, Qian Renxue was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly, nearly falling backward off the bed.

"Hey! Was that really necessary?!"

Chi Xiu widened his eyes and reached out to catch her, but Qian Renxue mistook it for an attack and directly fired a burst of holy light at him.

The bed curtains were knocked down, and the two of them fell together with their heads covered.

Under the bed, the two glared at each other.

Because their lips were pressed tightly together...

The awkward position quickly made Qian Renxue's cheeks flush crimson.

Chi Xiu immediately lifted his head. "I—I didn't do that on purpose."

Qian Renxue did not listen to his explanation. Holy light gathered in her palm again.

But the young man before her suddenly vanished.

Qian Renxue sat blankly on the floor, one hand pressed to her chest.

After calming down, she suddenly felt that she seemed to have smelled the scent on that young man somewhere before...

Chi Xiu sat up in bed. Gu Yuena was still sound asleep, though her sleeping posture was truly unruly. The blanket was a mess, and the sight of her fair naked body was enough to make one's thoughts run wild.

After covering her with the blanket, Chi Xiu checked his gains.

Good heavens, the fifth soul ring of the Asura God Sword had turned red as well. It had successfully reached the hundred-thousand-year level!

Not bad at all.

Chi Xiu kissed Gu Yuena's tender cheek, then got dressed, washed up, and hurried toward the place he had agreed to meet Ning Rongrong.

The streets of Heaven Dou City were unusually lively today. The weather was nice too, with crowds flowing through the streets and carriages everywhere.

It was perfect for a date.

Once he arrived at the meeting spot, Chi Xiu immediately spotted Ning Rongrong.

There was no helping it—she was simply too eye-catching in the crowd.

She was dressed especially exquisitely today. Cute hairbands, earrings, and bracelets—she had everything, and she had even put on beautiful makeup. She looked far more mature than her previous good-girl appearance. Her skirt was also unusually short today, and her round, fair thighs gleamed beneath the sunlight, making every passerby turn their heads to look.

This girl was obviously out on a date!

"Chi Xiu-gege!"

Ning Rongrong called out happily.

Chi Xiu walked over and raised an eyebrow. "Come on, let's go register."

"Oh, it's still early. Go shopping with me first!"

Ning Rongrong took the initiative to link her arm through Chi Xiu's and could not help acting spoiled.

"I knew it. You definitely had no good intentions when you asked me to come out with you!"

"Hehe, but Chi Xiu-gege still came."

"Let's go, then. Once we're done shopping, we'll go register."

The two walked forward, but then a young girl appeared by the roadside and blocked their path.

Chi Xiu froze. Black leather clothes.

Then he looked upward. Damn, those were huge!

"Excuse me, how do I get to the Rose Inn?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked in a cold voice.
