Liu Erlong had advanced to Titled Douluo. She retracted her Martial Soul Avatar and came to Zhuge Lan's side.
She said excitedly,
"Zhuge Lan, thank you so much. Reaching Titled Douluo was all thanks to your hard work."
Zhuge Lan smiled. Hearing Liu Erlong say that put his mind at ease. If he needed anything in the future, he would be able to rely on Liu Erlong, a Titled Douluo.
He said with a smile,
"Senior Er Long, we're such good friends. If I can help, then of course I will."
A smile appeared at the corner of Liu Erlong's lips as she said helplessly,
"You brat, you're still as clever as ever. I owe you another enormous favor."
Zhuge Lan smiled. That was exactly it.
Beside them, Ning Rongrong puffed out her cheeks and said irritably,
"Senior Er Long, look at you. The moment you arrived, all your attention went to Zhuge Lan. You didn't even notice me."
A trace of guilt appeared on Liu Erlong's face. She walked over to Ning Rongrong, patted her head, and said with a smile,
"After so long apart, Rong Rong has become even prettier than before."
Ning Rongrong snorted and said,
"Master Er Long, you're just brushing me off."
Liu Erlong laughed heartily and said,
"Alright, alright. We've come from so far away—aren't you going to arrange accommodations for us?"
Ning Rongrong nodded and said,
"Fine. But after we're settled in, Master Er Long, you have to beat up Zhuge Lan for me. Zhuge Lan bullied me."
Listening from the side, Zhuge Lan wondered when he had ever bullied Ning Rongrong. But after thinking carefully, he realized he had done so not long ago. He could only feel helpless about it.
He admitted it, then said,
"Sorry, Rong Rong. I was wrong."
