The Little Devil's Bold Declaration

Ning Rongrong's mind urged her to retreat, to push this man away.

But her body refused to obey.

Ning Rongrong's breathing grew hurried. Her long lashes trembled, and in the end, she slowly closed her eyes, waiting for what was about to happen.

Yet the sensation she had expected did not come for a long time.

The hallway was so quiet that she could hear only her own heartbeat.

Ning Rongrong opened her bright, watery eyes in confusion.

What she saw was Su Bai's face, close enough to touch, wearing a teasing smile.

Su Bai stopped.

The instant Ning Rongrong opened her eyes, Su Bai suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Ning Rongrong's pupils contracted sharply.

Her sparkling eyes were filled with shock.

Unlike what had happened with Xiao Wu just now, this time, Su Bai's advance was complete and irresistible.

After the brief shock came an even stronger current coursing through her body.

Ning Rongrong instinctively reached out and clutched Su Bai's lapels tightly, but her body went limp beyond her control, completely leaning into his embrace.

This scene was witnessed in full by a dejected figure.

Oscar had originally come out to see whether the excitement was over, hoping to find another chance to show off in front of Ning Rongrong while he was at it.

The moment he poked his head out of his room, he saw Su Bai kissing Ning Rongrong.

Oscar froze on the spot.

He felt as though he had heard something shatter.

It was Oscar's beautiful fantasy of love, which had only just begun to sprout.

The kiss ended.

Su Bai released the person in his arms. Looking at Ning Rongrong's alluring, flushed appearance, he spoke with a smile.

"Rong Rong, why don't you know how to breathe properly?"

[ Ding, Ning Rongrong's favorability +25. Current favorability: 50! ]

[ Reward: Favorability Treasure Chest x1 ]

The system prompt sounded at precisely the right moment.

Ning Rongrong gasped for air. She punched Su Bai hard in the chest, her cheeks as red as ripe apples.

"I... I don't know how to do that."

Ning Rongrong's voice was soft and sweet, carrying both grievance and coy annoyance.

"You're so practiced at this. You must be a total scumbag!"

After saying that, Ning Rongrong tried to break free from Su Bai's arms, only for him to hold her even tighter.

Su Bai burst into laughter.

"Men are born knowing how to fight. But what about you? Are you regretting it now?"

Ning Rongrong huffed. She raised her head, and that little devilish fire returned.

"Who would regret it? Hmph!"

"I'm just afraid that when the time comes, you won't dare come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with me!"

"I'd like to see whether you can get past my father, Sword Grandpa, and Bone Grandpa!"

"When the time comes, don't you dare run away!"

Ning Rongrong's voice was neither loud nor soft, yet it carried clearly through the already small dormitory building.

Upstairs, in Zhu Zhuqing's room.

She leaned against the window and quietly listened to the conversation below.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Sword Grandpa, Bone Grandpa.

Waves rose in Zhu Zhuqing's heart.

She had never expected that Ning Rongrong, who looked delicate and somewhat temperamental, was actually the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's leader.

That was one of the Upper Three Sects, the richest sect on the entire continent.

And those two "grandpas" were undoubtedly the legendary Titled Douluo who guarded the leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect: Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

Not only was Ning Rongrong of noble status, she was also so bold that she dared challenge a man she had known for only one day in front of everyone.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at herself, then thought of what Dai Mubai had done in Suotuo City.

An indescribable emotion spread through her heart.

In Ma Hongjun's room.

The fat man was pressed against the crack in the door, listening with great interest.

When he heard "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect" and "Sword Grandpa, Bone Grandpa," the chicken leg in his hand fell from fright.

"Good heavens... Brother Bai just hooked himself a princess!"

Ma Hongjun's face was filled with shock and admiration.

"No, tomorrow I have to ask Brother Bai exactly how he learned such incredible girl-chasing skills!"

Upstairs, in Xiao Wu's room.

She had wrapped herself in her blanket, her thoughts a complete mess.

All she could think about was the image of Su Bai kissing her. That aura that made her bloodline tremble struck her senses again and again.

He was definitely an Auspicious Beast!

Only a legendary Auspicious Beast could possess such an aura—one she could not resist, one that even made her want to submit.

How could Auspicious Beast Brother Su Bai possibly mean her harm?

Brother Su Bai kissing her must have been to grant her Auspicious Aura. It had to be for her own good.

Just then, Ning Rongrong and Su Bai's voices came from outside.

Xiao Wu heard them too.

Bang, bang, bang!

Someone knocked on the door, and Tang San's anxious voice came through.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, open the door!"

Xiao Wu did not want to pay him any attention, but Tang San kept knocking outside.

Irritated, she got up and pulled open the door.

When Tang San saw Xiao Wu, his face was filled with pain and urgency.

"Xiao Wu, did you hear that?"

"Su Bai doesn't truly like you at all! He kissed you just now, and now he's fooling around with Ning Rongrong!"

Tang San tried to use this fact to wake Xiao Wu up.

"Only Brother San is truly sincere toward you!"

Xiao Wu frowned. As she looked at Tang San, her face showed undisguised annoyance.

"Don't you dare slander Brother Su Bai!"

"He's so powerful. What's wrong with him having a few more companions?"

Those words struck Tang San's head like a bolt from the blue.

Tang San was stunned.

What did she mean, what was wrong with having a few more companions?

In Tang San's understanding from his previous life, the matter of romance had been entirely blank.

And in this life, aside from family affection, Xiao Wu was his only emotional anchor.

Yet Xiao Wu—the Xiao Wu he had protected for six years—could say something like that so easily.

Xiao Wu ignored Tang San outside the door.

In the world of Spirit Beasts, it was perfectly normal for a powerful male to have multiple companions.

Brother Su Bai was an Auspicious Beast, an emperor among Spirit Beasts. Never mind one more Ning Rongrong—even ten more would be only natural.

What right did Tang San have to use his narrow-minded human beliefs to slander Brother Su Bai?

Downstairs, Su Bai looked at Ning Rongrong, who was still sulking in his arms, and whispered into her ear.

"Sure. Whenever I have time, I'll go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to ask for your hand."

"But before that, I need to have a taste of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's little princess."

Su Bai's words carried naked possessiveness and aggression.

Ning Rongrong's body stiffened at his words, and the blush on her face spread to her ears once more.

Ask for her hand? Have a taste...

Su Bai... how... how could he say something like that?

Before Ning Rongrong could react, Su Bai had already released her and turned toward his shattered door.

"Get some rest, little princess."

Su Bai waved and entered his room. He casually propped several broken door panels against the frame, which counted as closing the door.

Ning Rongrong stood alone in the hallway, her heart in turmoil.

She touched her burning lips. Su Bai's scent still lingered there.
