Ning Rongrong, Could It Be You Three...

"You mean this?"

Ye Fan was utterly speechless. You should have made yourself clear.

Then he felt a little speechless with himself too. His mind was muddled. Had cultivation really turned him into an idiot?

"I'll just say something about it tomorrow."

Ning Rongrong whispered so quietly it was barely audible, "Thank you."

"Fan Ge, I'll be going now."

This time, Ye Fan hesitated.

Thinking of that extra twenty-five percent cultivation speed,

Ye Fan finally said,

"You don't need to leave. Sleep here."

Ning Rongrong's body suddenly trembled.

Just as I thought. Men are all the same.

After waiting for a long while without any movement from Ye Fan,

she reached toward his body again.

"I meant sleep. As in sleeping."

Ning Rongrong's body jolted again, and she quickly pulled her hand back.

How embarrassing. I embarrassed myself again!

Ning Rongrong, Ning Rongrong, why are you so cheap?

Early the next morning, when the sky was only beginning to brighten,

Zhao Wuji woke everyone with his booming voice.

When Xiao Wu woke up, the first thing she noticed was Ning Rongrong sleeping on the other side.

She rubbed her eyes fiercely before making sure she was not seeing things.

"No, Ning Rongrong, why are you here?!"

Before Ning Rongrong could speak,

Ye Fan explained,

"I told her to come over."

At those words, Xiao Wu instantly fell silent.

Then the others saw Ye Fan, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong emerge one after another from the same room.

Everyone else was dumbfounded.

Even Zhao Wuji froze.

Things had progressed this quickly?

Oscar thought to himself, Sure enough, only Ye Fan could win over Ning Rongrong.

He had given up on the idea long ago.

Dai Mubai, however, had a different thought.

No, why didn't he win over Zhu Zhuqing instead?

And Ning Rongrong got taken down while no one was looking?

Zhu Zhuqing was also quite surprised by Ye Fan.

This seemed completely at odds with the image she had of him.

He was clearly someone who did not covet beauty and only knew how to cultivate, yet a second woman had appeared in his room.

Back then, she had taken the initiative to knock on his door and apologize. She had even prepared some snacks in her own room,

planning to invite Ye Fan over and make amends, showing her sincerity.

Yet he had not even stepped out of his room.

She guessed there had to be another reason.

The others merely glanced at them and said nothing.

Only Ma Hongjun, with his big mouth, blurted it out,

"Ning Rongrong, why did you come out of Ye Fan and Xiao Wu's room?"

"Could it be you three..."

Ye Fan tossed out a single word,

"Scram!"

"Sure thing."

By the time they were eating breakfast, the sun had only just begun to rise in the east.

After leaving the small town,

everyone picked up their pace.

They were already very close to the Star Dou Great Forest,

so they hurried along at full speed.

There were similarities to yesterday, but differences as well.

"Ning Rongrong, use your martial soul to speed us up."

Ye Fan called out to Ning Rongrong.

"Okay."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda unfolded, raising everyone's speed by another level.

This way, they could be considered a whole.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji nodded in satisfaction.

"Remember this. Since all seven of you have entered Shrek Academy, you are one whole."

"Small conflicts are unavoidable, but don't let them turn into major problems."

"You are all the Academy's Little Monsters."

"In the future, when you go out, you may also call yourselves the Shrek Seven Devils. You must help one another."

Everyone answered in unison,

"Yes, Teacher Zhao."

With the Star Dou Great Forest just ahead,

the most excited person was naturally Oscar, who was about to obtain his third soul ring.

He desperately wanted to know what kind of enhancement his third soul ring would bring him.

He knew that even without his reminder,

Zhao Wuji would definitely lead everyone to hunt at least an ordinary thousand-year soul beast for him.

No one could say how many years the Star Dou Great Forest had existed on the Douluo Continent.

But after entering the forest, its dense canopy that blotted out the sky was enough to tell people how ancient it was.

From afar,

Ye Fan vaguely felt waves of fresh air blowing toward him from the front.

He took a deep breath of the clean air and felt extremely comfortable.

At last, they arrived before the Star Dou Great Forest.

The towering trees were at least twenty meters tall.

Though the trees were exceptionally lush, it was not an undeveloped primeval forest.

Teams upon teams of soul masters entered to hunt soul beasts, carving out road after road.

Someone once said that there were no roads in the world to begin with; when enough people walked them, roads came to be.

As they arrived before the forest, the air became even more pleasant.

It was as if the temperature had dropped by a few degrees.

The refreshing sensation, carrying the damp fragrance of earth, continuously stimulated everyone's sense of smell.

"Stop." Zhao Wuji spoke.

Everyone halted.

After traveling more than a hundred li, their bodies had already warmed up.

Oscar and Ning Rongrong in particular, as support soul masters,

had decent physical constitutions, but they still could not compare with the others.

Oscar quietly chanted his lewd incantation and handed each person a sausage.

After these past few days of getting used to one another, everyone no longer found his sausages repulsive.

At most, they pretended not to hear him whenever he chanted his incantation.

The sausages entered their stomachs and turned into surging heat,

restoring everyone's stamina.

Zhao Wuji looked solemnly at the seven students before him.

"Listen carefully. The Star Dou Great Forest is not some place where the nation keeps soul beasts in captivity."

"The soul beasts inside are all extremely dangerous. At any moment, you could face attacks from thousand-year, or even ten-thousand-year soul beasts."

"Therefore, once we enter the forest, none of you may move more than twenty meters away from me."

"Ning Rongrong, Oscar, you two must stay close to me."

"Without my orders, none of you may casually attack a soul beast. Do you understand?"

"Understood."

Oscar quickly chanted his incantation.

In a short while, he had a large handful of sausages and cured sausages in his hands.

He handed everyone one sausage and one cured sausage.

"My sausages can retain their vitality in the air for twelve hours."

Everyone accepted them and put them away.

Zhao Wuji was no exception.

The continuous expenditure of Soul Power made Oscar's face somewhat pale.

Fortunately, his bushy beard concealed it well enough.

At that moment, Ye Fan held two guidebooks in his hands and began Summoning.

Four Snorkel Zombies hid nearby to protect them.

Each Snorkel Zombie also carried a Flower Pot in its hands, and what was planted inside was nothing else—

Potato Mines. If anything went wrong, they would charge forward carrying the Flower Pots.

In short,

four Dolphin Rider Zombies also swiftly headed out to scout the area.

Zhao Wuji swept his gaze over everyone.

Seeing that the seven youths before him were ready,

he finally waved his hand.

"Move out."
