"Really? That's wonderful! We can travel together now!"
"Come on, I roasted some little rabbits over there. Let's eat something and dry you off by the fire. Then we can set out tomorrow!"
Watching Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing instantly hit it off, Ye Xingchen sighed softly to himself. Lowering his head, he glanced at the trembling Little White Tiger and reached out to stroke its head.
Upon sensing that faint trace of White Tiger power, the White Tiger Pattern on his Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul also emitted a glimmer of light.
After sensing that ancestral power, the Mutant White Tiger in his arms immediately stopped trembling. It felt as though the person holding it was its master!
It instinctively rubbed its head against him and licked him, but before it could rub against him a few more times, it was smacked on the head!
"Behave yourself. You may be a White Tiger, but you're not the kind of White Tiger I like!"
"Don't get carried away, little fellow!"
Hearing those words, the Little White Tiger froze slightly.
It looked up at Ye Xingchen, wondering, Are there different kinds of White Tigers?
It shook its head, feeling that the question was far too profound!
Three days later, on the streets of Suotuo City, Xiao Wu, who had just arrived, swept her gaze over the towering buildings around her, a faint glimmer appearing in her eyes.
It was her first time in a major human city, and she was filled with curiosity about the place.
"Third Brother, what are you doing?"
"Hurry up and catch up! It's so lively here!"
Tang San, who was lagging behind at a leisurely pace, smiled faintly. Looking at the energetic Xiao Wu, he felt a slight headache.
Just as he was about to step forward and walk beside her, a sudden commotion arose behind them.
"Oh my god, that White Tiger is gorgeous! Those long beautiful legs are incredible—exactly my type!"
"You're not admiring the White Tiger's legs, are you? What's beautiful about its thighs? You're obviously looking at its figure. Curvy where it should be—definitely not bad!"
"Who are those three? They're actually riding a White Tiger through the streets so openly. What empire's noble heirs could they be from?"
Amid the crowd, Ye Xingchen, dressed in white, listened to the envious remarks around him without any expression on his face.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, however, chatted and laughed as they sat in front, occasionally leaning close together to whisper.
Coupled with their breathtaking beauty, it was impossible for them not to draw the attention of the people around them!
"Xiao Bai, we're in the city now. You've worked hard!"
"When we get to the academy, I'll give you an extra chicken leg. Hehe!"
Sitting at the White Tiger's neck, Ning Rongrong smiled and stroked its head comfortingly.
She adored this White Tiger that could grow larger and smaller at will.
"Roar..."
As if responding, Xiao Bai let out a low growl. Just as it was about to pick up its pace, a powerful Soul Beast pressure suddenly swept toward it from not far ahead!
"Roar..."
Suppressed by the difference in rank, Xiao Bai growled lowly. Its body immediately swayed and trembled, as though it were about to kneel in worship!
Zhu Zhuqing, seated in the middle, failed to react in time and immediately pressed against Ye Xingchen.
Upon sensing that masculine scent, her pretty face instantly flushed crimson!
"Calm down!"
Noticing that something was wrong, Ye Xingchen sighed softly and stroked Xiao Bai's back.
At the same time, the White Tiger Pattern on his Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul shone brilliantly, barely blocking that Soul Beast pressure!
Only after doing all this did Ye Xingchen look toward the source of the Soul Beast pressure, which only he and Xiao Bai could sense.
Visible among the crowd ahead was a stunningly beautiful woman with rabbit ears and a graceful figure, who was also looking at them!
Xiao Wu!
A Hundred Thousand Year Humanoid Soul Beast!
"Brother Ye, what's wrong with Xiao Bai?"
Seeing that Xiao Bai had calmed down, Ning Rongrong stroked her chin and turned back to ask curiously.
"Could it be unable to carry the three of us? Have I gotten fat?"
Muttering to herself, Ning Rongrong touched her chin, then looked down.
She discovered that after her recent ball-juggling training, her balls had indeed begun to take shape and had become rather impressive!
"Ahem... no. It's just feeling unwell!"
"There's a hotel up ahead. Let's go rest for a while!"
Seeing this, Ye Xingchen coughed and reminded her with a calm expression.
"It'll be fine after resting. There's no need to rush the registration!"
Zhu Zhuqing, seated in the middle, blushed slightly. Seeing Rongrong like this, she could not help covering her mouth and laughing.
At the same time, she looked down at her own, and an inexplicable sense of pride rose in her heart!
Thus, the three continued riding Xiao Bai toward the Rose Hotel!
Standing among the crowd, Xiao Wu wore a solemn expression, her eyes fixed on that white-robed figure.
For some reason, she suddenly felt as though this person had seen through her completely.
Just as she was about to look away, Xiao Wu suddenly saw the white-robed man look back at her and reveal an inexplicable smile!
Xiao Wu froze slightly, rooted to the spot!
"Does he... know me?"
Seeing Xiao Wu spacing out, Tang San could not help feeling a little puzzled.
He stepped forward, patted her head, and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"You seem down. Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Wu shook her head slightly, her expression calm. Glancing in the direction the white-robed man had gone, she smiled.
"Let's rest at that hotel. Rose Hotel—what a nice name!"
"I'm tired too, Third Brother!"
Tang San, with his arms crossed, nodded. Looking at the lovers' hotel ahead, he could not help sighing softly!
A moment later, in the hotel lobby, Ning Rongrong entered while holding the Little White Tiger, which had returned to its smaller form, and hurried eagerly toward the counter.
She looked around, then smiled.
"Two of your best Top Suites. The food must be top-tier too!"
The receptionist behind the counter nodded slightly. Looking at the three of them, she weakly reminded them:
"Our hotel beds are big enough for three people..."
"Top Suites are very expensive. How about just one?"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face turned crimson.
Clearly, the receptionist had misunderstood the nature of their relationship!
Helpless, she sighed. Just as she was about to say something, Ye Xingchen spoke first.
"One room is fine too. There's a sofa, right? I'll sleep on it!"
After saying that, he turned back with a smile.
"You two can stay together, and I can protect you more easily!"
Ning Rongrong nodded with a broad smile and pulled Zhu Zhuqing by the arm.
"Then it's settled. We'll sleep in the big bed, and he'll sleep on the sofa!"
Unable to refuse, Zhu Zhuqing nodded. Looking at the figure before her, a hint of delight appeared in her eyes!
"Get us a suite too..."
At that moment, a man's voice came from behind them.
Ye Xingchen turned around and saw Tang San and Xiao Wu approaching as well.
Their eyes met, and he nodded faintly before withdrawing his gaze!
That strange sense of familiarity became even stronger in Xiao Wu's heart.
Looking at the white-robed figure before her, an overwhelming urge to learn the truth surged within her!
But with Third Brother here, Xiao Wu could only suppress it inwardly!
After all, she knew well that anyone capable of seeing through her identity possessed strength at least on the level of a Titled Douluo!
Yet this person appeared to be about the same age as Third Brother—far too young!
As for why he gave her such a familiar feeling, Xiao Wu had no idea!
"Wait, get me one too..."
"Hold on..."
At that moment, the laughter of two women and a man sounded through the lobby.
Dai Mubai, who had approached, had originally intended to show off in front of the two women.
But when he saw Zhu Zhuqing beside Ye Xingchen, he immediately panicked!
Isn't that girl my fiancée?
Why is she checking into a room with someone else?
And with two women?
Who is this white-robed man?
Dai Mubai sucked in a cold breath and shook his head. Seeing Ye Xingchen, whose looks posed a tremendous threat to his own standing, he could not help asking:
"Waiter, how many rooms did they book?"
Zhu Zhuqing, standing before Ye Xingchen, recognized Dai Mubai as well.
Her expression turned cold. She had never liked this person to whom she had been betrothed since childhood!
"What does it have to do with you how many rooms we booked?"
"Mind your own business. Let's go back to the room and rest!"
After Ning Rongrong said this calmly, she grabbed Zhu Zhuqing and headed toward the inner rooms.
"You..."
Dai Mubai stared at Zhu Zhuqing, whose stunning face was so cold toward him, and his mind went blank.
Gritting his teeth, he immediately unleashed the power of his Soul Rings and blocked the path of Ye Xingchen's group.
"If you don't explain yourselves, none of you are leaving!"
