Ripples

Yun Qi, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu did not cultivate for long this time. Xiao Wu had a craving and went outside to get some late-night snacks, the aroma interrupting the two who were cultivating.

It was nothing serious, though. Zhu Zhuqing had happened to encounter a cultivation problem and wanted to ask Yun Qi for advice! Yun Qi did not answer immediately. Instead, he pulled Zhu Zhuqing over to Xiao Wu, casually picked up some late-night snacks, and began eating.

He had to admit, the food of the Douluo Continent was delicious. During the six years she had spent with Yun Qi, Xiao Wu had gone from a herbivore to an omnivore. Aside from rabbits, she ate just about anything.

Sure enough, the table was covered with barbecued food, both meat and vegetables! While pulling Zhu Zhuqing along and eating, Yun Qi explained things to her. After hearing his explanation, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly understood everything!

The barbecue was quickly devoured by the three of them. As they prepared to sleep, Yun Qi saw that Little Cat still wanted to cultivate, so he stepped forward, picked her up, and carried Zhu Zhuqing to the bedside.

Seeing Little Cat's confusion, Yun Qi explained. He did not want Little Cat to hate him.

"After traveling for so long, you haven't even had a proper rest! Get a good night's sleep first. You'll accomplish twice as much with half the effort!"

Zhu Zhuqing also knew that haste made waste, so she obediently lay down on the bed.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu hugged Yun Qi as well. After Yun Qi turned off the lights, she shamelessly lay between the two women, holding one in each arm!

Zhu Zhuqing shyly twisted her body and discovered that Yun Qi was extremely thick-skinned. Not only did he not lower his arms, but he hugged them even more tightly!

After a while, Zhu Zhuqing grew tired. Moreover, Yun Qi's large hand did provide a sense of security, so she let the matter go.

As for Xiao Wu? Xiao Wu had long since stopped caring. In fact, if he did not hold her, she might not even be able to sleep. Xiao Wu had already tightly wrapped herself around Yun Qi's arm!

The next morning, at dawn.

Zhu Zhuqing got out of bed early. When she opened her eyes, she saw Yun Qi sleeping with his eyes closed, and a sweet feeling filled her heart. Once upon a time, she had fantasized about this too!

But in the end, it had only been a fantasy. Still, Heaven had not treated her unfairly. It had not driven her to utter ruin. Instead, it had sent her a man to save her.

Seeing this, Little Cat's mischievous side emerged. She took a lock of hair and tickled Yun Qi's face. Before long, Yun Qi opened his eyes and discovered Little Cat playing a prank on him.

He was just about to raise his hands when he realized that both were pinned firmly beneath the two women. His arms were completely numb! Yun Qi unconsciously moved one of them, startling Little Cat.

Zhu Zhuqing also noticed the strange sensation beneath her body and realized that Yun Qi's hand was being pressed firmly underneath her.

She hurriedly sat up in fright. However, the instant Little Cat rose, the corner of her clothes was pulled aside, revealing a fleeting glimpse of scenery. Yun Qi activated the Purple Demon Eye and saw everything clearly!

Only after Zhu Zhuqing had finished straightening her clothes did Yun Qi reluctantly deactivate the Purple Demon Eye. With a smile, he asked:

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Zhu Zhuqing glanced strangely at Yun Qi's other hand and said quietly:

"Mm. I haven't slept this peacefully in a long time!"

Yun Qi had just been about to get up when his other hand was pressed down by something soft. He understood what it was. Under Zhu Zhuqing's strange gaze, he calmly pulled his hand free and helped cover Xiao Wu with the blanket!

After silently getting dressed, Yun Qi looked at both hands and unconsciously sniffed them, secretly comparing them. The hand on Little Cat's side has a richer, fuller scent, while the hand on Little Rabbit's side carries a faint herbal fragrance.

But both sides were equally refreshing and intoxicating!

Zhu Zhuqing watched Yun Qi's little movements as well. Her hands instinctively covered herself, and her face flushed with embarrassment. Accompanied by an exasperated scolding, she pulled Yun Qi back from his daze.

Looking at Yun Qi, who still seemed unsatisfied, Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth.

"Does it smell good?"

Yun Qi answered instinctively:

"Smells... good."

Seeing that the woman before him was about to erupt, Yun Qi swiftly changed the subject.

"Wasn't I going to teach you an unparalleled divine technique last night? Come, I'll teach you now!"

The name of the unparalleled divine technique immediately diverted Zhu Zhuqing's attention. She asked, feeling extremely embarrassed:

"Can you really teach this to me? Aren't you afraid I'll teach it to someone else or leave with it? You won't get anything in return!"

Yun Qi smiled calmly.

"I believe you won't do that. Even if you did, the people you taught wouldn't cultivate it faster than I do! Anyone I surpass will be left far behind, until they can't even see my back!"

Zhu Zhuqing was delighted. After all, the feeling of being trusted, combined with the dazzling confidence radiating from the man before her, was simply too striking! It made it impossible not to focus her gaze on him!

"Thank you!"

"Between us, why are you saying thank you?"

Afterward, Yun Qi led Zhu Zhuqing in performing Broadcast Exercises: Dancing Youth!~~

He corrected Zhu Zhuqing's movements along the way and took plenty of liberties, making her flush from head to toe. She even thought Yun Qi was doing it for her own good!

Of course, Yun Qi was certainly doing it for Zhu Zhuqing's benefit, but he also did not miss a single chance to take advantage of her!

After all, Yun Qi was just an ordinary man. He had never claimed to be some kind of saint!

As Yun Qi continuously corrected her movements, Little Cat learned incredibly quickly. If she had not, Little Cat felt she would have gone soft, so she could only gather all her concentration and study! After just a few attempts, she had completely mastered it!

Yun Qi felt a little regretful that Zhu Zhuqing had learned it, but he was also extremely happy. Seeing this girl working hard for the future, Yun Qi practiced alongside Zhu Zhuqing for a long time. All the while, his mouth kept shouting a strange but rhythmic chant!

"Twenty-two... twenty-two... twenty-two... twenty-two... twenty-two, thirty-four..."

Zhu Zhuqing asked the same question Xiao Wu had asked when Yun Qi first taught her.

"Is that strange chant some kind of mnemonic?"

Yun Qi was stunned, then answered:

"You can treat the chant as a mnemonic! It'll help you find your rhythm!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, feeling enlightened despite not understanding why, and began shouting along with Yun Qi. Xiao Wu was also awakened by the noise. After casually straightening her clothes, she joined the Jumping Team!

Before long, Zhu Zhuqing was panting heavily, while Xiao Wu and Yun Qi did not feel tired because they often practiced this.

Yun Qi had the two women continue doing the Broadcast Exercises while he watched from the side and called out the chant for them. Especially during the jumping exercises, his voice constantly changed with their rhythm! His eyes also kept moving up and down.

Yun Qi did not admire the scene for long before calling for them to stop. He had them each change clothes and prepare to go out for breakfast, while also purchasing some supplies. Yun Qi knew what Shrek Academy was like: a Small Village with crude conditions. But he did not want his two girlfriends to suffer. Making more preparations could never hurt!
