Ning Rongrong had thought that after throwing a tantrum, Lu Jiang would definitely come back right away.
However, Lu Jiang left with such determination this time that he had no intention of turning back at all.
Ning Rongrong stared at Lu Jiang's retreating figure in disbelief, then ran straight in front of him and spread her arms to block his path.
"Eldest Young Lady, if there's nothing else, could you please move aside?"
"I need to hurry home after buying groceries and start cooking."
"There are two people at home waiting to eat."
Lu Jiang shoved Ning Rongrong aside.
However, Ning Rongrong grabbed the hem of his clothes from behind.
"Lu Jiang, you wanted me to apologize, and I did. What more do you want?"
"Breaking up with you was only meant to test whether your resolve was firm enough. If you chased after me a little longer, there might still have been a chance."
"But if you leave this alley now, there'll never be any possibility between us again."
Ning Rongrong looked at Lu Jiang's back and spoke in a threatening tone.
Lu Jiang turned around helplessly and pulled Ning Rongrong's hand away.
"First, I never asked you to apologize. What did you even do wrong?"
"Second, why should I chase after you again? To humiliate myself?"
Just as Ning Rongrong was about to say something, she suddenly saw a figure appear behind Lu Jiang.
The figure walked directly between the two of them, blocking Ning Rongrong's way.
"Firefly? Why are you here?"
Lu Jiang seemed rather surprised upon seeing the person before him.
He had never expected Firefly to secretly follow him here.
Firefly turned back and smiled at Lu Jiang, then resumed her cold expression as she looked at Ning Rongrong.
"Since you've already broken up, please stop pestering the Trailblazer."
"He wasn't happy when he was with you."
The moment Ning Rongrong saw the girl before her, she froze.
So beautiful.
Even as another girl, she felt utterly inferior standing before Firefly.
The innocent, adorable persona she had painstakingly crafted was shattered into pieces the instant she saw Firefly.
How could something fake compare to something natural?
Ning Rongrong finally understood why Lu Jiang had left so decisively.
So he had been hiding a beauty outside!
"Fine, so you were seeing her behind my back. That's why you refused to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with me!"
Firefly looked at the somewhat hysterical Ning Rongrong and gave a disdainful smile.
Then she gracefully walked to Lu Jiang's side and wrapped her arms around his arm.
She pressed the two soft mounds on her chest tightly against Lu Jiang's arm.
Ning Rongrong had never expected them to make such a bold move right in front of her.
It was all this vixen's fault, seducing Lu Jiang!
Just as Ning Rongrong was about to speak, Firefly tilted her head and pressed her lips against Lu Jiang's cheek.
Lu Jiang immediately felt as though he had been electrocuted, his whole body going numb.
All he could feel was the slightly cool, soft touch on his face.
When had Firefly become so proactive?
Or had she come specifically to stand up for him after seeing Ning Rongrong bully him?
Warmth immediately flooded Lu Jiang's heart.
Was this the sense of security Firefly brought him? Even when facing an ex-girlfriend like this, she could still hold her head high.
As expected of Firefly—this round was Firefly's for sure!
After the kiss, Firefly drew back, then licked her lips as if she still wanted more.
"Hmph, you little brat, were you the blind one who abandoned our Trailblazer?"
"I should be thanking you. Without you, the Trailblazer wouldn't have thrown himself into my arms so resolutely."
A yandere-like smile appeared on Firefly's face as she buried Lu Jiang's face in her chest.
Then, with the air of the lady of the house, she provocatively looked at Ning Rongrong.
Seeing the scene before her, Ning Rongrong was so furious that her teeth itched.
He was nothing more than trash whose Soul Power had not even reached level ten. Her taking a liking to him was already doing him a favor.
How could he possibly find such an exceptional girlfriend?
"Pah! Lu Jiang, you scumbag!"
"How long have you two been together?"
"Under the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's very nose, you still dared to engage in such disgraceful behavior."
"Today, I will punish you according to sect rules!"
With that, Ning Rongrong drew a flexible sword from her sleeve.
Tang San had given it to her for self-defense, and she had kept it on her ever since.
She had not expected it to come in handy at a time like this.
Then, three soul rings rose directly from Ning Rongrong's body. Her strength surged abruptly as she charged at Lu Jiang.
However, before she could get close to Lu Jiang, Firefly's figure appeared before her like a ghost.
Immediately afterward, a side kick struck Ning Rongrong squarely in the abdomen.
The force of that kick sent Ning Rongrong flying several meters away.
She crashed heavily into the wall.
Clutching her stomach, Ning Rongrong coughed painfully.
That kick had at least left her with internal injuries.
It had to be said, although Firefly was a girl, she showed no mercy when she attacked.
As expected of a death warrior who had been on the battlefield.
Ning Rongrong suddenly curled up on the ground and began to cry aggrievedly.
"You actually dared to hit me! Ever since I was little, with Grandpa Jian protecting me, who would dare hit me?"
Firefly gave a light snort, then said indifferently, "So what if I hit you? I don't like the sight of you. I even think that kick was too light!"
Lu Jiang covered his forehead with a speechless expression.
By now, he was certain that the person before him was definitely not Firefly.
No matter how much Firefly protected him, she would never say something so crude.
If so, then only one possibility remained.
At that moment, Ning Rongrong suddenly raised her head and said to Lu Jiang, "Lu Jiang, are you just going to stand there and watch her hit me?"
"Teach her a lesson for me, and I can let bygones be bygones over what you did. Otherwise, I'll have Grandpa Jian and Grandpa Gu sink both of you into the sea!"
Ning Rongrong pointed angrily at Firefly.
Lu Jiang sighed. My Eldest Young Lady, of all the people you could provoke, you just had to provoke this lunatic.
When she goes crazy, she really could blow up your home.
Looking at Ning Rongrong with some pity, Lu Jiang said, "Ma'am, even now, you still don't understand?"
"In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you are a treasure held in everyone's palms."
"But once you leave the sect, you need to learn to keep a low profile."
Lu Jiang's words stunned Ning Rongrong.
At once, Ning Rongrong felt as though she had fallen into an ice cellar, her entire body turning freezing cold.
That was right—she had come out alone without bringing any protectors.
If bad people targeted her, her fate would surely be miserable. It was not impossible that she might even be sold as a slave.
However, her spoiled nature since childhood made it impossible for her to admit fault so easily.
She cried out, "You only know how to bully me!"
Then she plunged out of the alley.
