Ning Rongrong Secretly Following

"We're here."

Although a few "minor incidents" had occurred along the way, they hadn't affected Gu Yi's flying speed.

Before long, Gu Yi descended from the sky above Suotuo City while holding Zhu Zhuqing in his arms.

Because of their extraordinary looks and dramatic entrance, Gu Yi and Zhu Zhuqing instantly drew the attention of many people in the city.

They all looked at the two with admiration, deeply envious of their identities as Soul Masters.

"Come on, where do you want to go first?" Gu Yi ignored the gazes around them and asked Zhu Zhuqing with a smile.

"Let's buy clothes first," Zhu Zhuqing said shyly.

The blush on her cheeks had yet to fade, making her look especially soft and adorable.

"Alright."

Gu Yi answered, took Zhu Zhuqing's little hand, and headed toward the more crowded streets.

At first, Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat dazed. Her eyes stayed fixed on the hand Gu Yi was holding, and her heart felt a little nervous.

But gradually, she grew accustomed to the feeling. Whenever Gu Yi held her hand, she felt a sense of security.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 55% favorability from Zhu Zhuqing. Reward: all Soul Ring Ages increased by one hundred years."

Hearing the prompt in his ear, a smile curled across Gu Yi's lips.

Just as expected! These seemingly casual little details were what touched a girl's heart the most.

The two wandered around Suotuo City for a while before finally stopping in front of what appeared to be a rather upscale clothing store.

"Let's go in and take a look. See if there's anything you like," Gu Yi said with a smile.

"Mm." Zhu Zhuqing nodded and was led into the store by Gu Yi.

"Welcome!"

As soon as they entered, an attendant came forward. She wore a broad smile and treated them with great respect.

"I'd like to pick out some clothes for her. Do you have any recommendations?" Gu Yi asked.

Upon hearing that, the attendant looked Zhu Zhuqing over a few times. While marveling at her beauty, she also came up with several excellent suggestions.

"How about these?"

As she spoke, the attendant pushed over several outfits.

"How about you try them all on? When it comes to clothes, you have to see how they look on you. What do you think?" Gu Yi said with a smile.

"Mm." Zhu Zhuqing nodded with a red face, her voice very soft.

"Then please come this way."

As she spoke, the attendant pointed in a direction and walked over with the clothes.

Only then did Gu Yi finally release Zhu Zhuqing's little hand and watch her enter the fitting room.

After waiting for about two minutes, Zhu Zhuqing finally emerged from the fitting room.

She wore an off-the-shoulder black gown paired with black high heels. Her long black hair draped behind her shoulders, and she looked absolutely stunning!

Like an elven queen in the darkness, her cool, aloof aura paired with that long dress was simply perfect!

"What do you think?"

Feeling Gu Yi's burning gaze, Zhu Zhuqing became shy for a moment, and the queenly aura she had displayed just now vanished completely.

"Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!" Gu Yi praised her sincerely.

His eyes had nearly popped right out of their sockets!

"Hehe~ Don't be in such a hurry. There's more." The attendant looked at the two of them with delight, like a young girl enjoying sweet romance.

As she spoke, she pulled Zhu Zhuqing back inside again.

About another two minutes later, Zhu Zhuqing came out once more.

She wore a bodycon dress that fully displayed her curvaceous figure. Her slender legs were clad in black stockings, adding several touches of temptation to her appearance.

At that moment, in Gu Yi's eyes, Zhu Zhuqing was like a succubus who could steal one's soul. Every smile and frown of hers tugged at his heart.

"How about this one?" Zhu Zhuqing asked again.

In truth, she could tell from the way Gu Yi looked at her whether the outfit suited her.

Yet for some reason, she still wanted to hear Gu Yi's heartfelt praise.

The feeling was strange. Though she was incredibly embarrassed, she couldn't help looking forward to it.

"I can't even find words to praise you anymore."

"I feel like you're the most beautiful no matter what you wear."

Gu Yi spoke with complete sincerity, making Zhu Zhuqing blush again.

"Miss, please wrap all of these up for me. I'll take them all."

"Also, help me find a few leather outfits similar to the kind she was wearing before."

Gu Yi did not hesitate in the slightest and directly took out his Gold Card. There were two million in it anyway—spend as much as he liked!

"I can pay myself..."

Seeing Gu Yi take out the Gold Card, Zhu Zhuqing wanted to refuse. She could afford it herself, and constantly using Gu Yi's money made her feel a little embarrassed.

"It's fine. Whoever pays, it's all the same, isn't it?" Gu Yi said with a smile.

At that, Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face flushed again.

What did he mean by that? Was it because they were friends? Or did it mean that there was no longer any distinction between him and her?

But before Zhu Zhuqing could think any further, Gu Yi took her hand again, intending to look around somewhere else.

It was still early. They could do plenty more things—today had been specially set aside to raise their affection level!

But after the two of them left, a lovely figure quietly followed after them. Watching the intimate pair ahead, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.

"Hmph! Using my dad's Gold Card to curry favor with another woman—Gu Yi, you really can't change your disgusting ways!" Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth.

She had originally just been leisurely strolling through the streets, but Gu Yi and Zhu Zhuqing had made far too conspicuous an entrance, making her unable to resist taking a look.

Curious, she had followed them over, only to witness what had just happened.

She had thought Gu Yi had changed because he had ignored her for so long, but it turned out he was still the same old person beneath it all.

"Hmph! Let's see what exactly you plan to do with my dad's money."

With that, Ning Rongrong followed them again, intending to see what else Gu Yi and Zhu Zhuqing would do.

It would have been better if she had not followed them. The more she watched, the more inexplicable anger rose in her heart.

In her eyes, the two first went to have a lavish meal, then made a round of the popular amusement park, and finally bought the most expensive jewelry necklace in a certain jewelry store right in front of her.

All of it felt incredibly familiar to Ning Rongrong, but when she realized the person before her was Zhu Zhuqing, anger inexplicably flared within her.

More than once, she wanted to rush over and berate them, accusing them of using her father's money for entertainment.

But she held herself back. It was a good thing that Gu Yi was no longer pestering her; there was no way she would take the initiative to seek him out!

She had said she never wanted to see him again. If she went looking for him herself, would that not mean she had lost?

Time flew by, and the sky had now been dyed fiery red by the beautiful sunset.

"It's about time. We should head back," Gu Yi reminded Zhu Zhuqing with a smile.

"Mhm, but I actually want to have the ice cream at the entrance one more time," Zhu Zhuqing said softly, looking like a shy young woman.

"No problem. Wait here—I'll go buy it now," Gu Yi replied, turning toward the ice cream shop nearby.

But before he could move, a wave of Soul Pressure came crashing toward him.

Feeling the direction from which the pressure came, Gu Yi forced himself to turn around.

Behind them stood a figure with a face full of pockmarks and buck teeth. Tall and skinny, he looked like a chopstick.

He let out a lewd chuckle, his shifty eyes constantly roaming over Zhu Zhuqing's body.

"Hehe! I've been watching you for a long time! Finally found a chance to make my move!"
