Punishment Mission Complete, Abstracted Heavenly Dou Student

Yu Tianjiao looked at Dugu Yan's pitiful, puppy-dog eyes and felt a sense of novelty.

Having known this girl for so many years, he had rarely seen her wear such an expression.

However, since she had already put it that way, it wouldn't be right not to put in a good word for her.

"Alright, Lingling, don't be angry anymore. Yanzi didn't mean it; she was just acting out of concern. After all, you two are good sisters. I believe she only spoke out of turn because she discovered you hadn't returned all night and was afraid something had happened to you."

Yu Tianjiao gently patted Ye Lingling's waist with his large hand, his tone soft and tender.

Hearing this, Ye Lingling's expression softened slightly, though she didn't fully let her guard down.

She was just teasing Dugu Yan on purpose.

Who told her to get there first and steal Tianjiao's first kiss?

She leaned into Yu Tianjiao's embrace, let out a soft huff, and continued to ignore Dugu Yan.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan knew that Ye Lingling's anger had likely dissipated, so she hurriedly began to shake her arm and act spoiled:

"Lingling, good Lingling, I was wrong! I was just too anxious, afraid that you'd been taken advantage of by this bad guy. Don't I know your character? You're the best, the kindest!"

Ye Lingling suppressed the urge to let her lips curl upward and looked at Dugu Yan, a hint of seriousness appearing on her pretty face:

"Then if I come to help Tianjiao with his treatment in the future, you aren't allowed to talk to me like that again!"

"I won't! Absolutely not!"

Dugu Yan promised hurriedly.

"Then... I forgive you."

A smile finally tugged at the corners of Ye Lingling's mouth, effectively letting the matter slide.

Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the room finally eased.

Yu Tianjiao watched from the side, feeling a strange sense of absurdity.

Although Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were two separate people in reality, under the system's judgment, they were actually one and the same.

It was quite bizarre—Xiao Yi Xian was jealous of Xiao Yi Xian.

"Alright, sit down, both of you. I know how you feel. Since you've already shared a kiss with me, you're both mine now, and I will be responsible to the end."

Yu Tianjiao smiled as he pulled Dugu Yan into his arms as well, then sat down with both girls, settling them onto his lap.

Having just established their relationship with Yu Tianjiao, being held one on each side like this—as if they were two wives serving one husband—made it hard for them to keep their composure, and both lowered their heads, too embarrassed to look at each other.

Hearing Yu Tianjiao speak so bluntly, although they had anticipated it, they still felt overjoyed.

After all, they were both love-struck; a few sweet words from the person they liked were enough to make them drift on cloud nine.

"Hmph, who wants you to be responsible? Anyway, you aren't allowed to bully Lingling!"

Dugu Yan said this, but her body was very honest, unable to help but wiggle her hips and squeeze closer into Yu Tianjiao's embrace.

"Tianjiao won't bully me, right?"

Ye Lingling was better at speaking than Dugu Yan; her tone was gentle, her clear, beautiful eyes shimmering with love, looking at Yu Tianjiao in a way that almost made him unable to resist kissing her again.

"..."

Dugu Yan felt she should go to a circus and find a red nose to wear.

"Of course, how could I bear to bully you?"

Yu Tianjiao maintained his gentle smile.

That was just how the Love-Brain Continent worked; just bring in any classic, overly-kind male lead from a Japanese anime, and it was an instant kill.

Besides, being gentle to beautiful women wasn't exactly a difficult task.

However, while Yu Tianjiao said that now, when the time actually came to "bully" them, he certainly wouldn't be polite until he had them rolling their eyes and begging for mercy.

Dugu Yan proudly tilted her head away upon hearing this, but a smile she couldn't suppress remained on her lips, and she felt incredibly sweet inside.

This was mainly due to the long period where Yu Tianjiao hadn't been enthusiastic toward her, maintaining only a friendly, distant classmate relationship. Now, just a little bit of special treatment made her feel extremely satisfied.

Simply put, she had been PUA'd by Yu Tianjiao.

Ye Lingling, on the other hand, wore a gentle smile. She had already had a heart-to-heart talk with Yu Tianjiao and considered herself much further along than Dugu Yan. Hearing Yu Tianjiao's words, she wasn't just moved, but actually looked forward to how he would "bully" her.

After all, that toned, muscular physique and his 1.85-meter frame were truly perfect enough to make one drool.

Although she was still a virgin, her theoretical knowledge was far greater than Dugu Yan's. She had slept in Yu Tianjiao's bed last night, and her dreams were filled with his figure.

It was a pity that some things, if you hadn't done them, you hadn't done them; her brain couldn't render the images, leaving her unable to even complete a wet dream.

Uh...

Come to think of it, it did feel a bit uncomfortable down there, a little sticky...

Ye Lingling bit her lower lip, thought for a moment, and had an idea.

"Tianjiao, I treated you last night, and between the sweat and not having bathed, I feel a bit uncomfortable. How about you two keep chatting while I go back to take a bath and change my clothes before coming back?"

Yu Tianjiao naturally had no reason to refuse, but there was no need for her to make another trip.

"Lingling, I have a bathroom here too. If you don't mind, you can wash up here; it'll save you the trouble of running back and forth."

Yu Tianjiao said with a smile, as if he were stating something that was only natural.

"Don't worry, Lingling, I won't let Brother Tianjiao peek at you!"

Dugu Yan followed up with her own assurance upon hearing this.

Hearing this, Ye Lingling hesitated for a moment before nodding, stepping down from Yu Tianjiao's lap, and walking into the bathroom.

Before long, the sound of splashing water began to echo from within the bathroom.

"Yanzi, have you eaten yet?"

Yu Tianjiao had no intention of peeking; while Ye Lingling was bathing, he intended to continue his conquest of Dugu Yan.

"Not yet."

Dugu Yan shook her head in response.

"That's perfect. I specifically bought an extra portion of breakfast for you earlier. I was going to bring it to your dorm later, but since you're already here, you might as well eat with me."

As Yu Tianjiao spoke, his Soul Tool ring flashed, and a simple breakfast appeared on the dining table.

"You bought this specifically for me?"

Dugu Yan's "love-struck" mode activated as she latched onto the keyword.

"Of course. You are the woman who stole my first kiss; how could I ever forget you? My Yan'er..."

Yu Tianjiao leaned close to Dugu Yan's ear, his tone filled with ambiguity.

Dugu Yan's face flushed red instantly. She lowered her head, her voice as faint as a mosquito's hum as she muttered:

"You're so cheesy."

However, Yu Tianjiao had already opened the food container, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it gently, and brought it to her lips.

"Come on, taste it and see if it's to your liking."

Yu Tianjiao said in a soft, gentle voice.

Dugu Yan could hardly withstand such treatment from Yu Tianjiao. Her heart began to beat as violently as a war drum. She opened her mouth mechanically, letting the small spoon deliver the white porridge, and swallowed it just as mechanically.

She didn't even taste the food; she only felt the intoxicating scent radiating from Yu Tianjiao, and her mind was filled with nothing but the sound of her own increasingly rapid heartbeat.

Thump! Thump! Thump...

Watching Dugu Yan being so easily manipulated, Yu Tianjiao smiled slightly.

If you want to manage a harem well, you can never overlook the details.

He had specifically bought three portions of breakfast.

In any case, there were no bacteria inside a Soul Tool, so the food wouldn't spoil.

If Dugu Yan hadn't come, he would have delivered it to her. If she had already eaten, he would have suggested they go for a walk to digest the food.

There would always be something to do.

You couldn't just sit there blankly, staring at each other, could you?

If it really came to that, one could only hope that this girl's love-struck nature was severe enough that she wouldn't care about the details.

But pinning one's hopes on others was far too pathetic.

If one wants to become a true powerhouse, one must keep all initiative firmly in one's own hands!

After the breakfast feeding session filled with affection, Dugu Yan was in a wonderful mood.

As for Ye Lingling, who had gone to bathe, she ultimately felt a bit uncomfortable not being in her own dorm, especially with her boyfriend and best friend waiting outside. Not wanting to stay in too long, she simply rinsed off, changed into a clean black dress, and walked out of the bathroom.

Yu Tianjiao had already cleared the food containers from the table. Seeing Ye Lingling emerge with her hair loose, he ran to the bathroom to wash his hands, then returned with a wooden comb.

"Yanzi, sit for a moment. I'm going to comb Lingling's hair."

This left both women quite stunned.

Yu Tianjiao actually had this skill?

Ye Lingling was quite trusting and accommodating toward her boyfriend, so she sat obediently in the chair, looking as though she would let Yu Tianjiao do as he pleased.

Yu Tianjiao hadn't spent all these years in vain. In the Douluo Continent, men could have long or short hair, and he himself possessed a beautiful head of long, black hair.

When he was young, his "good sister" Liu Erlong often combed his hair. Later, as he grew older, he began to comb it himself, and sometimes he would pester Liu Erlong to let him comb her hair as well.

Over time, he had completely mastered the skill.

And so, under Yu Tianjiao's skillful hands, Ye Lingling's damp blue hair was combed until every strand was distinct, smooth, and flowing. After Yu Tianjiao braided it into a trendy style, he used his soul power to steam away the remaining moisture.

Wait, why are you so practiced at this?

Dugu Yan, watching from the side, felt that something wasn't right.

Her sixth sense was telling her that her boyfriend must have other women out there!

"I'll comb yours next time, too."

After finishing, Yu Tianjiao looked toward Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan felt a surge of joy upon hearing this, but her mouth remained as stubborn as ever:

"Who... who asked you to comb it for me!"

Regarding Dugu Yan's feigned indifference, Yu Tianjiao did not point it out. He simply smiled faintly, stood up, and took Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling by their small hands, his tone light and cheerful:

"Alright, since we are officially together now, let's go out for a walk. It can also serve as an official announcement of our relationship."

Hearing Yu Tianjiao say this, a glimmer of joy appeared in both girls' eyes simultaneously.

Although Yu Tianjiao had already held them in front of many people yesterday, effectively staking his claim, today was the first official day of being together. Yu Tianjiao's approach of announcing their relationship immediately upon getting together was clearly exactly what they had hoped for.

"Okay!"

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan both nodded in agreement. Immediately, the three of them walked out of the dormitory together. Yu Tianjiao walked in the middle, with both girls linking their arms through his, half-leaning against him as they exited the dormitory area and entered the academy grounds.

Although the three of them had risen quite early, nearly an hour had passed after all the fuss, and the number of students in the academy had increased. Consequently, their intimate appearance as they walked together was seen by quite a few students.

As expected, many students began to gossip.

"As expected of the only prodigy of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, this guy Yu Tianjiao really did manage to capture the two most beautiful flowers of our academy!"

"Damn, I'm so envious. If I could enjoy such a blessing, I'd be willing to become a Titled Douluo just for that!"

"Damn, you greedy bastard, you really don't want to miss out on anything, do you!"

"Wuwuwu, I'm heartbroken. My Senior Tianjiao!!!"

"You're a man, what are you crying for! You pervert!"

"Senior Tianjiao is finally taken. Our Tianjiao Support Club is destined to meet its end."

"Senior sister, look at me..."

"Get lost. I'd rather stare at a portrait of Senior than give you the time of day!"

"..."

Listening to the increasingly outrageous conversations around him, the corner of Yu Tianjiao's eye twitched.

What kind of weirdos are these!

It was at this moment that a familiar system panel appeared before Yu Tianjiao's eyes.

[You held Xiao Yi Xian tightly, pressed her onto the bed, and kissed her forcefully, letting Xiao Yi Xian know your prowess, so that from now on she dares not hide anything from you.

Furthermore, you pulled Xiao Yi Xian into your tent and let her rest there for the night. The next day, she walked out of the tent arm-in-arm with you, full of vitality. This event was witnessed by many mercenaries, who began to speculate about your relationship.

This made Xiao Yi Xian seem less saintly in the eyes of the mercenaries, so for her own safety, she had to rely on you and take you to find the treasure in the cave.]

[Task completed.]

[Distributing task rewards...]

As the text flickered, Yu Tianjiao felt three items appear out of thin air in his system space!

One was an ancient scroll with a peculiar texture, its cover shimmering with a seven-colored halo.

One was a purple-black scroll.

The last one was a dark red scroll.

Yu Tianjiao's gaze swept over the scrolls, and his pupils suddenly constricted!

The first scroll was naturally the Seven-Colored Poison Manual.

But the second scroll was: Heaven Phoenix Wings!

And the third scroll was: Flame Splitting Devouring Wave Ruler!

Good heavens, these rewards were far too generous!

However, Yu Tianjiao discovered a happy problem.

He didn't have a Heavy Profound Ruler!

But even so, Yu Tianjiao was already very satisfied.

He had expected the system to provide the Purple Cloud Wings, but he hadn't expected it to arrange the wings of a Heavenly Demon Phoenix for him directly.

One must know that it is not easy to fly on the Douluo Continent; this flying soul skill was a massive help to him!

And that Flame Splitting Devouring Wave Ruler, a low-tier Earth-grade battle skill, possessed astonishing power. It was a battle skill capable of actively triggering the energy of heaven and earth, which, on the Douluo Continent, could already be considered a divine skill.
