What's Wrong With Hugging You

After staying at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for some time.

Ye Yuan and Ning Rongrong left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect together.

"Brother Ye, where are we going?" Ning Rongrong asked, puzzled.

"We are going to Heaven Dou Imperial City to meet someone."

"Who?"

A snow-white figure began to emerge in Ye Yuan's mind.

"The crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe."

Ning Rongrong covered her small mouth and said, "You actually know His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Before leaving, she had been pestering Ye Yuan, trying to find out about his past.

But she remembered that Ye Yuan had never mentioned anything to her about knowing the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

However, seeing that Ye Yuan had no intention of talking about it, she did not ask further.

Just as Ye Yuan arrived at the imperial city, several knights walked toward him as if they recognized him.

Ye Yuan was about to summon his martial soul, but he thought better of it; this was Heaven Dou Imperial City, and it was unlikely anyone would dare to cause trouble so brazenly.

So, he relaxed his guard.

"May I ask if you are Lord Ye Yuan?"

The knights had long since seen portraits of Ye Yuan, and their inquiry was merely a formality.

Because the person before them was someone their crown prince had personally requested to see.

Naturally, they dared not be negligent.

"I am. And you are?"

One of them immediately stepped forward and said, "My lord, His Highness the Crown Prince requests your presence."

"Brother Ye, it seems your relationship with this crown prince is quite deep."

Ye Yuan did not find it strange; it seemed Qian Renxue's informants were already spread throughout the entire imperial city.

He had only just entered the imperial city, and Qian Renxue had already discovered him.

But it was not surprising, after all, in a few years, Martial Soul Hall would be at war with the two great empires.

All the current arrangements were merely paving the way for that great battle.

"Little Rongrong, you stay here for now; I will be back shortly."

Ye Yuan said to Ning Rongrong.

"No, no, I want to go too!" Ning Rongrong said, hugging Ye Yuan's arm.

Ye Yuan looked at the knights beside him.

"Of course, that is fine," the knight said.

Subsequently, the two led Ye Yuan and Ning Rongrong toward the crown prince's residence.

The knights brought the pair to the entrance and then stopped in their tracks.

"That is His Highness the Crown Prince's residence inside; it would be inappropriate for us to enter."

"The two of you should head in yourselves."

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Many thanks."

Looking at these knights, Ye Yuan could not help but think of those days in the Star Luo Empire.

He was not feeling nostalgic; he was simply thinking of someone.

His younger sister, Qin Yan'er.

He touched the white robe he was wearing, inevitably recalling the time he and Ning Rongrong had plotted to kill Bu Le.

When Ning Rongrong went to lure him, the back of a young girl wearing a pink dress and a rabbit hair accessory had appeared.

She looked extremely similar to his younger sister.

But when he went to look for her after killing Bu Le, she had vanished.

The two entered the palace; the crown prince's palace was extremely large, and apart from the maids visible at intervals, Ye Yuan and Ning Rongrong did not see anyone else.

Ning Rongrong pouted and said, "What is the deal with this crown prince?"

"He asked you to come over, yet he is nowhere to be found."

"Hmm? Brother Ye, why aren't you saying anything?"

Ning Rongrong looked up at Ye Yuan and discovered that her Brother Ye's eyes were wide open, staring straight ahead.

She followed Ye Yuan's gaze and saw that, at some point, a woman had appeared in front of them.

The woman had skin whiter than snow, alluring red lips, and a graceful figure, with the sliver of snow-white skin exposed at her chest swaying with her every step.

Her appearance was even more noble and beautiful, and the pair of fair, tender jade legs beneath her slit skirt were faintly visible, making it impossible for anyone to look away.

The slight flush appearing on her face was the ultimate move against any man.

Seeing Ye Yuan standing there in a daze, Ning Rongrong puffed out her own not-insignificant curves.

She thought bitterly, Ahhh, damn it, I've been completely outclassed.

Brother Ye is just standing there motionless. Damn it, how dare she seduce my Brother Ye!

Wuwuwu, Rongrong, you can't cry. You'll grow up too, you still have a chance.

Actually, Ning Rongrong was mistaken.

The reason Ye Yuan stood there in a daze was that he hadn't expected Qian Renxue to be so bold.

In broad daylight, she dared to appear in her true form within the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.

In his view, Qian Renxue would absolutely never do such a foolish thing.

Qian Renxue spoke first, "Welcome, you two, to the Crown Prince's Palace. His Highness the Crown Prince has some urgent business, so he asked me to receive you both first."

"You two can just call me Little Xue."

Little Xue? Ye Yuan couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

He felt a sense of dread whenever he heard that name now.

After all, the impression left on him by the woman named Little Xue in that dream was truly too deep.

Ye Yuan reckoned he would never forget it for the rest of his life.

Qian Renxue looked into Ning Rongrong's eyes; as a woman herself, she instantly understood the reason for Ning Rongrong's hostility toward her.

Qian Renxue ignored it, merely straightening her back without leaving a trace.

Ye Yuan's eyes couldn't help but glance downward.

It could only be described in four words: capacity is greatness.

Qian Renxue keenly noticed this little gaze, and of course, Ning Rongrong was no exception.

Qian Renxue smiled slightly, Little sister, you're still a bit too green to compete with me.

Ning Rongrong stomped hard on Ye Yuan's foot, "Brother Ye, where are you looking?!"

Ye Yuan just chuckled, offering no defense.

He couldn't help it; it was instinct. Besides, even if God came down to see this sight, He would have to take a peek.

"Mr. Ye Yuan, His Highness the Crown Prince has instructed me to take you to the backyard to wait first."

Ning Rongrong immediately shouted, "I... I want to go too!"

That woman's naked gaze was practically trying to devour her Brother Ye.

She couldn't let the two of them be alone; a lone man and a lone woman—who knew what might happen?

Qian Renxue didn't look at Ning Rongrong, only saying slowly, "His Highness the Crown Prince does not like people he doesn't know entering his backyard."

Ning Rongrong wanted to lash out, but remembering that this was the Imperial Palace and that this woman's status was clearly not low, she held back.

Ye Yuan patted Ning Rongrong's hand and said softly, "Little Rongrong, go play in Heaven Dou Imperial City first. I have important matters to discuss with His Highness the Crown Prince."

"I'll come find you once I'm finished."

Seeing that Ye Yuan had spoken, Ning Rongrong had no choice but to give up. After all, this was the Eastern Palace, and she couldn't just loiter here.

"Alright then, but Brother Ye, you have to be careful of this woman."

"She clearly has ulterior motives toward you. Brother Ye, you must keep yourself pure and absolutely don't let a woman like this seduce you."

Ye Yuan said, "Got it, got it."

After saying that, Ning Rongrong left with great reluctance.

The moment Ye Yuan finished watching Ning Rongrong leave, Qian Renxue threw herself into Ye Yuan's arms.

Qian Renxue took deep breaths of the scent on Ye Yuan's body, her face flushed and her eyes gradually becoming unfocused.

Ye Yuan was startled by this action and stood frozen.

He could only look down from above at that deep cleavage, then stammered, "T... Teacher, what is this?"

Qian Renxue stroked Ye Yuan's chest with her hand and said, "Teacher hasn't seen you in a long time, what's wrong with giving you a hug?"

"I've been hiding here in this deep palace all alone, and I usually have no one to talk to."

Ye Yuan thought about it and realized it was true.

Qian Renxue had been sent to the Heaven Dou Empire by her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, since she was a child.

Staying in a strange place all by herself while having to prevent her identity from being discovered was indeed not easy.

He let Qian Renxue continue to hold him like that.
