She wants it, so you give it? She *insists*!

Seeing Dugu Yan leave in a hurry, Ye Lingling felt her suspicions were likely correct, and a strange, indescribable sense of awkwardness welled up in her heart.

Although they were considered good sisters and best friends with an extremely close relationship.

That did not mean she could accept Dugu Yan sneaking over here to have a private feast all to herself!

However, her martial soul was the Nine Heart Begonia, which was not suited for combat, and her temperament did not allow her to get entangled in messy emotional disputes.

She would not fight with anyone; as long as Yu Tianjiao had her in his heart, she would not leave him.

But if Yu Tianjiao did not have her in his heart...

Sorry, in her view, such an "if" would never exist.

"What were you and Dugu Yan planning to do just now?"

Ye Lingling swept a glance at the shattered tea set on the floor and asked, knowing the answer perfectly well.

Yu Tianjiao felt his heart skip a beat at these words.

She didn't even call her Yanzi, but addressed her directly as Dugu Yan.

It seems the healer is angry...

But Yu Tianjiao was not panicked in the slightest.

He very calmly invited Ye Lingling to sit on the small wooden chair in the room and began to clean up the shards of the tea set unhurriedly. Every gesture he made was filled with a composed demeanor, showing not a hint of agitation.

At the same time, he spoke in a very casual tone, as if he were discussing a trivial matter:

"Lingling, I still remember everything you did for me back then. Given our relationship, I won't hide it from you.

Yanzi came to see me earlier, originally intending to catch up on old times. But when the conversation turned to how I have recovered my cultivation talent, that girl insisted on seeing how my combat power measured up.

I couldn't refuse her, so we had a spar; it ended in a draw, I suppose.

But she accidentally broke this tea set. I was about to ask her for compensation, but I don't know what got into that girl—she just leaned in and kissed me..."

As he finished, Yu Tianjiao wore a look of helplessness. He tossed the tea shards into the trash, washed his hands, fetched a new tea set, brewed a pot of fine tea, and poured a cup for Ye Lingling.

Looking at Yu Tianjiao sitting beside her, with a visible scratch on his neck, and then scanning the slightly messy room, Ye Lingling found his explanation somewhat plausible, yet her tone remained laced with jealousy:

"She wanted it, so you just gave it to her?"

She had known Yu Tianjiao for many years and had paid him a great deal of attention; naturally, she knew that the kiss just now was very likely Yu Tianjiao's first.

This was the key point that made her feel most uncomfortable.

She couldn't have his first kiss, yet she was unwilling to let Dugu Yan have it either.

They had promised to be good sisters for life, yet she had gone behind her back to steal a taste and even wanted to demand more. If she hadn't arrived in time, wouldn't the beauty of this evening have been monopolized entirely by that Dugu Yan?

How could she allow that?

"She insisted!"

Yu Tianjiao said, using his mere level fourteen soul power fluctuations to silently convey his helplessness.

If a real fight broke out, he truly couldn't beat Dugu Yan.

He couldn't exactly use the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus to cremate her, could he?

The girl just wanted to throw herself into his arms and spend a romantic night; he couldn't possibly kill her over something like that.

He wasn't Tang San, who had to save his virginity for Xiao Wu.

Speaking of which, Tang San could eat rabbit blood buns, could he do the same?

It wasn't that Yu Tianjiao had any special feelings for Xiao Wu, but he was thinking that although his Ancient Void Dragon martial soul now had a five-thousand-year first soul ring, it still wasn't quite enough. If he could eat a batch of rabbit blood buns, resurrect her, and then equip her with all his useless soul rings, wouldn't he be able to swap them out for a new set starting at fifty thousand years?

However, with the system, this plan wasn't a necessity. He would just file the idea away and study whether to implement it later.

After hearing Yu Tianjiao's answer, Ye Lingling became even angrier.

But she wasn't angry that Yu Tianjiao had given in; she was angry that she had arrived too late. If she had come first, that first kiss would have been hers!

Ugh!!!

So annoying!

"She insisted, so you just gave it to her?"

Ye Lingling grumbled indignantly, then slammed her small fist against Yu Tianjiao's chest.

Duang~

Her fist bounced right back.

Yu Tianjiao's firm, resilient pectoral muscles certainly felt quite good to the touch.

Although Yu Tianjiao didn't think much of it, Ye Lingling truly loved that sensation.

The young girl's cheeks flushed slightly, and seeing that Yu Tianjiao hadn't noticed the wicked thoughts in her heart, she breathed a sigh of relief.

If he discovered that she was actually just as hungry for his body as Dugu Yan, it would surely ruin the cold, aloof image she maintained in his heart.

However, Yu Tianjiao had long since discovered the covetous gazes of these infatuated girls.

Back when Ye Lingling was healing his wounds, she would sometimes grow tired and collapse directly into his arms, and her little hands would happen to press right against his pecs or abs.

Once or twice he could have convinced himself it was just a coincidence, but every single time? It was clearly because they were lusting after his body.

But it didn't matter.

He, Yu Tianjiao, also quite liked the perky, bountiful, and uniquely shaped saintly snow-peaks of these young women.

There was no helping it; having lived two lifetimes without ever having a mother, his fondness for that particular part of the anatomy had reached the level of an obsession.

Unfortunately, the only time he had ever accidentally brushed against those exaggerated pectoral muscles was when his cousin Liu Erlong held him in her arms as a child.

That was truly enough to make one want to shout "Mommy!"

Not to seek maternal love, but to eat...

Hmm.

The main issue was that while Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling both had decent figures, neither was the voluptuous type; Dugu Yan was well-proportioned, while Ye Lingling was slender and slim.

However, Yu Tianjiao possessed the Ancient Void Dragon as his martial soul, so his body had developed quite well. Even though he hadn't finished his growth spurt yet, he already stood at 185 centimeters, nearly catching up to the 190-centimeter Yu Tianheng.

According to Yu Tianjiao's own assessment of his body, in another two or three years, he might grow to around two meters.

At that height, even a tall and slender girl like Ye Lingling would look like a little girl standing before him.

As his height increased, his physique and palms would grow accordingly.

His current palm size was already enough to hold Dugu Yan's pride—which was a size larger than Ye Lingling's—and play with it at will without it even filling his grasp.

If he grew taller and his palms expanded further, then for the sake of a better experience, he feared that among the girls he currently knew, only Liu Erlong and Zhu Zhuqing, whom he had met briefly in the Star Dou Forest, would be able to satisfy him.

However, when he first saw Zhu Zhuqing, the girl was still very young, not yet developed or fully grown, so he hadn't interacted with her much beyond a mere acquaintance.

"Yu Tianjiao! Are you still thinking about Dugu Yan? It seems I really don't compare to her in your heart. I'm leaving."

Seeing Yu Tianjiao lost in thought, Ye Lingling pouted, accused him with a grievance-filled tone, and with reddened eyes, prepared to stand up and leave.
