Lovers

The next day at noon.

The small courtyard was located in the wilderness.

It was incredibly quiet all around, with hardly any human traces.

Inside the courtyard, Jiang Ling woke up groggily. he looked at the mess on the ground and Krillin amidst a pile of large green sticks. he didn't pay it any mind, swaying as he flew above the nearby woods.

Jiang Ling knew.

It was probably impossible to keep it anymore; it was going to break free from its shackles.

A forced melon isn't sweet. Jiang Ling unlocked the shackles that had bound it for a long time, and it was unstoppable like the surging Yellow River!

The leaves on the trees were covered with the morning dew...

Jiang Ling let out a long sigh. he and it had never felt so refreshed.

Shaking himself, Jiang Ling put on his pants and swayed as he flew to the entrance of the small courtyard, casually pulling up a few grass roots and tucking them into his hand.

Krillin also woke up. Seeing Jiang Ling return from the direction of the woods, he said:

"Big brother, going for morning practice? That forest is strange. The leaves used to be quite sparse, but I don't know when it started, they gradually became lush."

Jiang Ming said with a strange expression: "You know quite a lot about it..."

"Of course, I've brought several girlfriends into that small forest!" Krillin puffed out his chest, quite pleased with himself.

"..."

Jiang Ling muttered to himself.

It's better not to tell him the truth, lest his Dao heart collapses and he can't get it up...

"Go wash up."

"Okay."

Krillin responded and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When he came out, the pile of large green sticks on the ground had disappeared. Jiang Ling was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, brewing tea.

"Big brother, brewing tea?"

"Yes, Krillin, come and taste this tea. See how it is."

A mischievous look appeared on Jiang Ling's face.

Krillin scratched his head, a troubled look on his face. "Big Brother, what kind of tea is this?"

"You taste it."

Krillin picked up the teacup and sniffed it.

He nodded and commented, "It has a fresh scent, like after rain."

He took a sip of the tea, his eyes lighting up. He immediately exclaimed loudly.

"Great tea!"

"It's full of rustic charm, rich in flavor, and has a deep aroma."

"Big Brother, where did you buy this tea?"

Krillin savored the lingering sweetness.

Hearing this, Jiang Ling lifted the lid of the teapot and looked at the tea brewed from grass roots still mixed with a bit of soil.

He fell silent.

Should he tell the truth?

Krillin, still savoring the taste, continued to chatter on, like a floodgate opened, unstoppable.

"Alright, alright, I'm going back to cultivate. You should cultivate quickly too, don't fall too far behind me."

Jiang Ling waved his hand, interrupting him.

He casually placed the teapot aside.

He grabbed Krillin and led him out of the small courtyard.

"Hey, hey, hey, Big Brother, you still haven't told me what kind of tea it is!!"

After parting ways with Krillin, he returned to the villa.

He found Bulma waiting.

"Hey, Old Bu, why are you here?"

"Can't I come if there's nothing going on?"

These days, the two of them had become familiar, and their conversations had become much more casual.

"Sure, if I brought a girl back, wouldn't that be awkward..."

"You dare!"

Bulma glared.

"Why not?" Jiang Ling looked at her with a half-smile.

"Uh..."

Bulma didn't know why either.

She had broken up with Yamcha several months ago. She originally thought she wouldn't look for a boyfriend again, but before she knew it, Jiang Ling had walked into her heart.

Proactive, sunny, positive, energetic, handsome, and he doesn't mess around!

You ask her how she knows?

Emmmm...

Bulma would definitely not say that one time she came over and the door was unlocked, and she found Jiang Ling playing on his 'phone'...

A man who would rather play on his 'phone' than mess around, there aren't many like that!

Bulma glared with her beautiful eyes, looking at Jiang Ling, and said unreasonably, "It's just not allowed!"

Jiang Ling raised an eyebrow. Looking at her charming and cute face, he directly pushed her against the wall.

Wall slam!

He whispered in her ear, "How about you be my girlfriend."

The gentle tone combined with the warm breath on her ear directly stirred Bulma's heartstrings.

Hearing the affectionate confession and feeling the strong masculine presence, Bulma couldn't help but become flustered.

She lowered her head, her face flushed.

"Mmm..."

"What?"

Jiang Ling asked.

"I agree..."

Bulma whispered.

"I can't hear you! Speak louder." Jiang Ling grinned.

Bulma stared directly into his eyes.

"I promise you, I'll be your girlfriend!"

Their gazes met.

The atmosphere grew intense.

Jiang Ling hooked her chin, and she closed her eyes.

Their lips touched.

Their breaths mingled.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing!"

Bulma slapped away Jiang Ling's restless hand.

She chided, "We just confirmed our relationship. And you're already getting handsy!?"

"Hehe, it's normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to get intimate..."

Jiang Ling chuckled dryly and scratched his head.

"No, no intimacy! We need to cultivate our feelings more!" Bulma said, hands on her hips, looking fierce.

Fine...

Jiang Ling spread his hands.

He turned and walked towards the bathroom, taking a cold shower to suppress the arousal that had just been stirred.

He came out of the bathroom.

He saw Bulma dressed youthfully and vibrantly, carrying a bag in her hand...

"Let's go, come with me shopping."

She pointed towards the door.

"Uh..." Jiang Ling looked troubled, "Can we not go?"

"What do you think!"

"Ah..."

Jiang Ling wailed.

It seemed that having a girlfriend was also quite troublesome.

At least there were more trivial matters.
