Wu Xing froze instinctively, then a strange look appeared on his face!

Just as he was about to take it out of the Diary Warehouse, he suddenly noticed Ning Rongrong's pouty, moist lips. A thought flashed through his mind, and he grinned wickedly. "Are you sure you want it?"

"O-of course. You can't keep this young lady's reward for yourself." Seeing Wu Xing's ill-intentioned smile, Ning Rongrong inexplicably panicked inside. But she was the little witch—how could she give up so easily?

Looking at Ning Rongrong, who was forcing herself to remain calm, Wu Xing glanced around and curled his lips slightly. "You really want it here?"

"Of course." Ning Rongrong nodded firmly. Clearly, she had misunderstood Wu Xing's hidden meaning and thought he simply had not prepared a reward for her.

Although she was a little disappointed that this big villain had not prepared a reward for her, that would give her an excuse to make demands in the future.

Thinking about it that way, she did not seem to be losing out. But Wu Xing's next action left her dumbfounded.

Ning Rongrong pointed at Wu Xing, her delicate face flushed red, while her fair little hand trembled nonstop.

"Y-you big pervert! Why are you taking off your pants?!"

"Didn't you ask for it? I'm giving it to you." Wu Xing smiled.

"I... What does that have to do with taking off your pants?" Ning Rongrong was utterly flustered. Though she was bold, she was still an inexperienced young girl. She was truly afraid Wu Xing would lose control and take her right here.

"I-I don't want it anymore." Ning Rongrong became scared and hurriedly shook her head, turning her face away.

Seeing Ning Rongrong start to fear him, Wu Xing had no intention of letting her off. The mood had already reached this point—how could he end it so easily? Besides, this little witch was bold and loved excitement, so he might as well go all out.

He slowly leaned close to Ning Rongrong's ear and gently blew on it, then whispered a few words. Her entire head immediately grew dizzy, her face flushed, and her eyes turned soft and seductive.

"What did that little bastard say just now? Why did he mention me?" Wu Xing calmed his excited emotions somewhat, stroked her little head, and could not help asking.

He was rather curious about what Tang San had said about him. He had not crossed paths with Tang San at all lately.

"Isn't it because of your Soul Fighting Master match this morning? A lot of people in the Spirit Fighting Arena are talking about what you did, and that guy happened to hear it." Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes and answered vaguely. "Then he brought up what happened at Dugu Manor a month ago—how you targeted him and humiliated him."

Hearing Ning Rongrong's explanation, Wu Xing was somewhat stunned before laughing silently. "I didn't expect that little bastard to be so shameless. He actually learned how to twist the truth."

In truth, he was rather pleased by Tang San's attempt to twist the truth. Tang San would never have imagined that he was only lifting a stone to smash his own foot.

"If the Diary Instance didn't have rules, I would have exposed that hypocrite immediately." Thinking of Tang San's previous performance, Ning Rongrong felt utterly disgusted. How had she ended up on the same team as someone like that?

Fortunately, Xiao Wu and Zhu Qing had both seen the recording from back then. Otherwise, they might really have been fooled by him.

"It's all right. I understand how you feel. I'll make it up to you later." Seeing Ning Rongrong stand up for him, Wu Xing felt touched and decided to treat her well in the future.

Ning Rongrong was delighted inside. This was exactly the promise she had been waiting for from this bad rogue.

Wu Xing meant it sincerely as well. He meant proper compensation, nothing else. After all, this little witch suited his tastes far too well, and she was incredibly good at pleasing him. Perhaps she had grown accustomed to being waited on by others in the past, which had given her certain inclinations.

Just based on that alone, Wu Xing was determined to have her.

"Here." Wu Xing took an Alps Lollipop from the Diary Warehouse.

"What is this?" Ning Rongrong stood up and looked doubtfully at the strange thing in Wu Xing's hand.

Wu Xing smiled. "A lollipop."

"You bastard!" As soon as Ning Rongrong heard that, she immediately raised her delicate hand and slapped his chest fiercely.

She had truly been stupid, foolishly satisfying this lecherous rogue, only for him to really reward her with nothing but a piece of candy in the end.

"All right, stop making a fuss. I'll give you a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring." Wu Xing chuckled, and another Spirit Ring shimmering with red light appeared in his hand.

Looking at the Hundred Thousand Year Perfect Soul Ring before her, Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, her face full of infatuation. "Y-you're really giving it to me?"

Ning Rongrong had never expected Wu Xing to be so generous as to give her a Hundred Thousand Year Perfect Soul Ring. While deeply moved, she also felt somewhat uncomfortable, worrying that he regarded what had happened earlier as a transaction.

"Take it. It's a gift for you. I told you—if you're my woman, then you're my woman." Wu Xing naturally noticed Ning Rongrong's conflicted expression and put her at ease.

Even if she no longer wanted to be with him, he would not let go. Mainly because this little witch understood men's hearts far too well.

Though he also understood that Ning Rongrong naturally liked excitement due to her family background, otherwise why would she have run away from home when she first appeared?

"Big villain, you do have a bit of conscience after all." Hearing Wu Xing's words, Ning Rongrong finally relaxed and moved as if to offer him a fragrant kiss.

Wu Xing reacted swiftly. He hurriedly unwrapped the nylon wrapper around the Alps Lollipop and stuffed it into her mouth, stopping her attack.

What a joke. He had no intention of kissing right now.

"..."

Ning Rongrong nearly died of anger at the sight, but she was quickly drawn in by the taste of the Alps Lollipop.

It was a flavor she had never tasted in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and she loved it immensely. She could not help licking it.

"All right, hurry back. Don't make them suspicious. Message me if anything comes up." Seeing Ning Rongrong's appearance, Wu Xing nearly spat blood. But considering that nearly half an hour had passed, he could only suppress the urge in his heart.

It would not be good for him if they were discovered.

"You big villain, you toss me aside after taking advantage of me." Though Ning Rongrong complained, she obediently sucked on the lollipop in her hand as she skipped toward the Spirit Fighting Arena lobby.

Seeing Ning Rongrong leave, Wu Xing turned and headed outside as well. He had been gone for a little too long and needed to hurry back.

Meanwhile, in the Spirit Fighting Arena lobby, Oscar was pacing anxiously in circles. His beloved Rongrong had gone to the restroom for half an hour and still had not returned, making him worry that something might have happened.

Just as he was about to go look for her, he saw Ning Rongrong's figure jogging over from the distance.

What puzzled him, however, was that Rongrong looked completely different from before. She no longer seemed to be in pain and instead appeared rather happy. She was even licking something in her mouth...

Your Mouth Seems to Have a Strand of Hair at the Corner ### "Rongrong, why were you gone for so long?" As Ning Rongrong approached, Oscar hurried forward to ask.

Hearing Oscar's words, Ning Rongrong's cheerful expression darkened. Her brows furrowed as she said unhappily, "Oscar, what does it have to do with you how long I was gone?"

This guy clung to her like chewing gum and had to ask about everything. Did he really think she was his girlfriend?

Oscar only felt wronged. He had merely wanted to show concern for her, yet he had somehow made her so angry.

"Rongrong, what are you eating?" Though he had lost every battle, Oscar only grew braver. His gaze fell upon the lollipop Ning Rongrong was licking.

Looking at her moist little lips, his heartbeat suddenly quickened, and his breathing became somewhat unnatural.

It would be wonderful if I could kiss her once. I'd be happy for an entire year—and wouldn't even rinse my mouth.

Oscar thought this inwardly, unaware that the moist little lips stirring his imagination were no longer innocent.

Ning Rongrong took a suck and said casually, "A lollipop."

"A lollipop?" Oscar was stunned. He thought for a long time but had never heard of anywhere in Heaven Dou City that sold such a thing.

As Ning Rongrong's ultimate simp, Oscar had constantly wanted to buy gifts Ning Rongrong liked ever since coming to Heaven Dou City, hoping to please her and further their relationship, ideally making it official.

Thus, he was extremely familiar with the snacks and little trinkets sold in Heaven Dou City. Yet he had never seen candy like this.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu and Zhu Qing were both stunned upon hearing Ning Rongrong's reply, their eyes flickering.

Naturally, they had heard of lollipops. Wu Xing had mentioned them in the Diary Instance, saying they were a kind of candy from his hometown. Ning Rongrong had also let it slip once in private that he still owed her such a reward.

Now it seemed that Rongrong had spent so long in the restroom because she had run into Wu Xing?

With this guess, a thought emerged in Zhu Qing's mind.

"Rongrong, it looks like there's a strand of hair at the corner of your mouth." Seeing that Rongrong was not angry and had even told him the name of the candy in her hand, Oscar was delighted. He was about to ask where it was sold when he inadvertently noticed what seemed to be a strand of hair stuck to Ning Rongrong's mouth and could not help reminding her.

Ning Rongrong froze slightly and instinctively reached up to touch it. Then she suddenly seemed to realize something. Her face instantly turned red, her entire body becoming extremely unnatural as she hurriedly threw it away in panic.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's reaction, Oscar found it strange, but he did not think much of it. He only assumed it had caught at the corner of her mouth because of that.

But he did not consider that the hair by Ning Rongrong's temples was long and exceptionally smooth, completely unlike what she had thrown away.

Of course, no one would think in that direction. Even Xiao Wu and Zhu Qing did not dwell on it, much less the boys.

"Since Rongrong has returned to the team, little monsters, get ready to register. Make a name for yourselves at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena." Yu Xiaogang waved a hand grandly, looking at everyone with a benevolent expression.

He was very satisfied with the excuse he had found. Not only did it allow him to occupy the moral high ground, but it would not make others suspect he had ulterior motives. It could also stir up the competitive spirit of young people.

Sure enough, after hearing Yu Xiaogang's instructions, Dai Mubai and the others were fired up. Tang San in particular looked high-spirited. With him around, Wu Xing could forget about making a name for himself in the Spirit Fighting Arena.

However, after Tang San enthusiastically registered for the individual and team matches, he tried to register for a doubles match with Xiao Wu. Yet something unexpected happened—Xiao Wu refused to team up with him.

After Tang San had slandered Wu Xing and twisted the truth earlier, the Three-Five Combination had completely ceased to exist in Xiao Wu's heart.

"Xiao Wu, why?" Seeing the Xiao Wu he knew reject him without hesitation, Tang San looked utterly disbelieving, his eyes turning somewhat red.

If it had merely been a small mood swing or minor disagreement before, that would have been one thing. But now she was unwilling even to team up with him. This had already risen to the level of the Seven Monsters' shared honor. Their relationship had become incredibly strained.

Yu Xiaogang's brows were tightly furrowed as well. What exactly had Little San done to make Xiao Wu loathe him so much? Things had become so tense that she was unwilling even to team up with him. This was no longer something as simple as a squabble between a young couple!

"Xiao Wu, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is approaching. You're an assault-type Soul Master, and you and Mubai are the team's frontline fighters. Your positions are especially important, so unless it's necessary, participate in three matches every day during training."

Although Yu Xiaogang felt somewhat disappointed in Tang San, he still stepped in to help him out.

The Grandmaster truly was the Grandmaster. His moral coercion was masterful. Not only could he make the little monsters feel that he was prioritizing the bigger picture, forcing Xiao Wu to participate in three matches, but he could also earn the gratitude of his beloved disciple.

Sure enough, Tang San was ecstatic upon hearing this and felt even more grateful toward his teacher. This way, Xiao Wu could only form a team with him for the two-versus-two Soul Fighting Master matches.

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Ning Rongrong felt thoroughly disgusted. Teacher and disciple truly were alike—each more hypocritical than the other.

"I'll register for the two-versus-two match with Xiao Wu." Ning Rongrong had no intention of letting the teacher and disciple get their way and immediately stepped forward.

She did not want Xiao Wu to have more private contact with Tang San, the king of double standards. Aside from his hypocrisy, there was another reason: Wu Xing would surely be pleased to see that little bastard Tang San go crazy.

Though she was young, she was a true little witch. She had long noticed through their private messages that this lecherous rogue had feelings for Xiao Wu.

While she felt a little jealous, she also knew what to do, how to satisfy him, and how to make him give her a more important place in his heart.

When it came to competing for favor, she felt that none of them could compare. Winning more of her man's affection came naturally to her—she was extraordinarily gifted, and others could not learn it at all.

Otherwise, Ning Rongrong would not have been able to firmly keep Oscar under her thumb even after reaching the God Realm in the original story. One had to know that without Oscar, Ning Rongrong might not necessarily have become a god.

Yet she was able to achieve that. She was unquestionably the woman in Douluo who understood men's hearts best.

She even knew how to position herself when facing different kinds of men.

Rongrong stepping forward made Xiao Wu breathe a sigh of relief, but Tang San's face darkened.

This Ning Rongrong had gone too far. She had repeatedly stopped him from going to the dormitory to see Xiao Wu before, and now she was interfering in the doubles match too. She truly deserved to die!

Though he inwardly wanted to teach Ning Rongrong a lesson, Tang San knew he could not act on it or show any hostility. Otherwise, everyone would surely be displeased. He could only force a flattering smile. "Rongrong, aren't you teamed up with Zhu Qing?"

"Zhu Qing doesn't plan to enter the doubles match." After Ning Rongrong replied casually, she looked at Zhu Qing. "Right, Zhu Qing?"

"Mm. I won't participate in the doubles match for now. I'll focus entirely on improving my own speed abilities." Zhu Qing nodded. Even without Ning Rongrong's reminder, she knew how to answer.

Ever since learning of Tang San's hypocrisy, all her good impression of him had vanished. How could she watch Xiao Wu fall into his clutches?

Putting on a Show ### "Team match, Heaven Dou Royal Second Team versus Tianheng Radiance Battle Team. Both teams, please proceed to the main arena and prepare to enter."

"Team match, Heaven Dou Royal Second Team versus Tianheng Radiance Battle Team. Both teams, please proceed to the main arena and prepare to enter."

At that moment, an announcement rang out, leaving the Shrek group, whose atmosphere had been somewhat tense, all stunned.

Heaven Dou Royal Second Team? If they were not mistaken, the Ben Yuan Qin Ming had mentioned before—that was, Wu Xing—was on that team.

"Teacher, let's go take a look." In order to give himself a way out, Tang San suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke.

"All right." Yu Xiaogang nodded, then said, "Everyone's matches won't start so soon. Let's all go take a look at this person named Wu Xing."

Even if Tang San had not suggested it, Yu Xiaogang had planned to watch. He wanted to see whether Wu Xing truly possessed three Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, and whether he was really as formidable as the Soul Masters in the Spirit Fighting Arena claimed.

Naturally, no one objected to Yu Xiaogang's request. Even Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Qing, who had begun to dislike him, were no exception.

When they arrived at the spectator seats of the main arena, they did not wait long before the two teams entered from opposite sides. Wu Xing was among them.

"So that's the guy?" Dai Mubai asked Tang San as he looked at Wu Xing on the arena.

They had encountered Wu Xing when they went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy before. Though it had only been a brief meeting, they vaguely remembered him.

"Yes." Tang San nodded, his eyes filled with hostility.

If possible, he truly wanted to meet Wu Xing in a team match and properly avenge the humiliation of being slapped in the face back then.

Of course, an individual match would be even better. But he knew Wu Xing was a newcomer, while he himself was a Gold Fighting Soul holder. They were not on the same level at all.

Consider yourself lucky!

Thinking this, Tang San snorted coldly. Otherwise, he would have shown Wu Xing what real strength was.

Wu Xing seemed to sense something and looked up toward Tang San's group, then broke into a grin.

Of course, it was not because his sixth sense had detected that little bastard watching him. This was not a branch arena but the main arena, and the venue was packed with at least several thousand spectators. He did not possess such powerful perception.
