Kissed?!

Soul Source Pill, Brightening Pill, Body Tempering Pill, Youth Preserving Pill.

The effects of these four pills were quite simple.

The Soul Source Pill was used to cultivate Soul Power.

The Brightening Pill enhanced Mental Power.

The Body Tempering Pill strengthened the body.

As its name implied, the Youth Preserving Pill was a pill that fixed one's appearance.

However, these pills were not especially useful to Xu Fan and the others. They were still too young and had no need for them.

Even Dugu Yan, the oldest among them, had yet to turn twenty.

So at most, only she could use it.

As for the second reward, it was quite a substantial boost for Xu Fan. After undergoing Ice-Fire Body Refining and the previous enhancement to his body,

his physical strength had increased greatly. All three of his Soul Rings had now reached over twenty thousand years.

"You're really just following us like this?" Xu Fan looked at Ning Rongrong.

"I already said it. It was love at first sight, so of course I'm going to follow you." Ning Rongrong nodded.

"You're so young. What do you know about love at first sight?" Xu Fan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Of course I do. Don't underestimate me. I'm the Young Miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I've learned plenty of things, including matters of romance." Ning Rongrong looked thoroughly proud.

Xu Fan's mouth twitched. Learned plenty of things?

If you'd learned that much, you wouldn't have gone to Shrek Academy.

"Fine, follow us then." Xu Fan shrugged.

It was better if Ning Rongrong stayed by his side. At least, regardless of what her intentions were,

Xu Fan believed that affection could grow over time. As for what kind of "time" it was, he had no idea.

Dugu Yan led Xu Fan and the other two to the house Dugu Bo had given Xu Fan.

"Xu Fan, this is the house my grandfather gave you. My home is right next door, so if anything happens, you can come find me," Dugu Yan said.

"Whoa... it's pretty big." Xu Fan was somewhat surprised.

This was Heaven Dou City, where every inch of land was worth a fortune. A house this large was immensely valuable.

"Of course. Our Dugu family may not be prosperous, but my grandfather is still a Title Douluo. He receives plenty of gifts," Dugu Yan said with a smile.

Xu Fan and the others slowly entered the Mansion.

"There are plenty of rooms. Zhuqing, pick one," Xu Fan said.

"Okay."

"What about mine?" Ning Rongrong pointed at herself.

Xu Fan froze. "Weren't you staying at an inn?"

Upon hearing that, Ning Rongrong puffed out her fair little cheeks like an angry Pufferfish.

A layer of aggrieved tears instantly welled up in her large eyes.

"I don't want to stay at an inn!" She stepped forward and, without hesitation, wrapped both arms around Xu Fan's arm.

She held it tightly against her chest and began swaying from side to side. The movements were not large, but Xu Fan experienced a certain softness.

"Staying at an inn costs money!" She raised her little face, her voice filled with grievance. "I ran away from home! Once I run out of money, I won't have anywhere to go! Are you really going to watch me end up on the streets and get bullied?"

As she spoke, she deliberately blinked, trying to make the tears in her eyes even more obvious.

Xu Fan's mouth twitched. Do you really think no one from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is keeping an eye on you just because you ran away from home?

Bullied? The moment you summon your martial soul, ninety percent of the Soul Masters on this continent wouldn't dare touch you.

Ning Rongrong abruptly changed tactics. Her voice became soft and sugary as she unleashed the full force of her winding, coquettish plea. "Xu Fan~~~"

That single call twisted and turned so much that it was almost sickeningly sweet.

"Let me live here too, okay~?"

The power of that coquettish act was truly considerable. Xu Fan felt goosebumps rising all over him. The swaying against his arm and that cloying voice made his scalp tingle.

As expected of the Young Miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Her skill at acting cute had reached perfection, effortless and natural. She had clearly used this trick plenty of times against the elders in her sect. It was utterly masterful.

Xu Fan secretly clicked his tongue.

Moreover, although Ning Rongrong looked young and had a well-proportioned figure, as she tightly hugged his arm, Xu Fan could still clearly feel it sinking into soft, tender elasticity, carrying a young girl's unique fragrance and warmth.

It seemed Ning Rongrong had potential after all.

Maybe she was not on Zhu Zhuqing's level, but she could still reach Dugu Yan's level.

"Alright, alright! Stop! Quit shaking!" Xu Fan was dizzy from her swaying, and he could not withstand the dual assault of sugar-coated words and "physical attacks." He surrendered.

"Fine, fine! You can stay, alright?!"

"Yay! I knew you were the best!" Ning Rongrong immediately cheered. The grievance and coquettishness vanished from her face in an instant, replaced by a radiant smile.

Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing, standing nearby, watched the entire performance from beginning to end.

The two could not help smiling.

It seemed that the addition of this little princess from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would make the atmosphere in this small household much livelier and more colorful.

Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance.

This was starting to get... more and more interesting.

Xu Fan looked at Ning Rongrong, whose smile was as bright as a flower, then at Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing watching the show nearby, and sighed helplessly.

This was all trouble he had brought upon himself.

Still, having things lively did not seem like such a bad thing.

Night fell.

Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing gathered in one room.

Ning Rongrong sat between them, wrapping her arms around their slender waists as she exclaimed, "Yanyan Sister, Zhuqing, your waists are so nice. Has Xu Fan touched them before?"

Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing were startled by Ning Rongrong's wandering hands.

They immediately moved away from her.

"Rongrong, you're a girl too. Don't mess around," Dugu Yan said helplessly.

Ning Rongrong smiled. "Hehe... they just feel really nice."

"By the way, Yanyan Sister, how did you get that hidden reward?"

At those words, a sly glint flashed through Dugu Yan's eyes.

She stretched out her graceful arm and smoothly wrapped it around Ning Rongrong's slender, well-proportioned waist.

There was a touch of sisterly intimacy in her manner.

Ning Rongrong was stunned by the sudden movement before she could react...

Dugu Yan raised her other hand, extending a slender index finger and lightly placing it against Ning Rongrong's slightly parted, rosy, tender lips.

Dugu Yan leaned slightly closer, moving beside Ning Rongrong's ear until they were close enough to feel each other's breath.

An exceptionally alluring smile bloomed on her face, carrying a hint of teasing and flirtation. In a voice that sent tingles to the bone, she said, "Right... here."

Her fingertip gently pressed against Ning Rongrong's lips, and her smile became even more seductive.

"!!"

The moment those words left her mouth, Ning Rongrong's large eyes widened into perfect circles.

She could hardly believe it.

Oh my god!

What did I just hear?

Her mind briefly shut down. It took her a long while to recover.

"Y-You... you two...!" Ning Rongrong's voice rose sharply, and her face turned completely red with a faint blush.

"Y-You kissed?!"
