Holy King Ruins, Journey to the Star Luo Empire

Evening.

Ye Xuan lay in the center of the room with a complex expression; he dared not roll to the left, fearing he might touch the forbidden minefield of his senior sister's arm pressed against his own.

He also dared not roll to the right, fearing he might accidentally offend the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect who was clutching his other arm.

Sigh, what on earth is all this...

It was already enough that Hu Liena would run into his room every few days to frolic, but now, Ning Rongrong had joined the mix.

However, what he found interesting was the information Ning Rongrong had shared regarding the Holy King Ruins that the Star Luo Empire had discovered some time ago.

He learned from her that within these Holy King Ruins existed an opportunity that could allow a possessor of the Evil Eye White Tiger martial soul to ascend to godhood.

Due to the unique nature of this opportunity, it could only be claimed by a prodigy of the Star Luo royal family.

Yet, because the Star Luo Empire was uncertain if there were unforeseen dangers lurking within, they had secretly leaked this information to the ears of the major powers.

The next day.

Early morning.

Ye Xuan awoke amidst two distinct, fragrant scents.

⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄

The moment he opened his eyes, he noticed that Hu Liena and Ning Rongrong were both eyeing each other with mutual vigilance; it was clear they had been in a standoff for quite some time.

Just as Ye Xuan wanted to rise and flee this place of trouble, he saw the bedroom door being slowly pushed open from the outside.

Seeing this, his heart sank halfway.

After all, aside from the maids who came to deliver meals, the only person who could enter here was his convenient teacher.

Sure enough, as Ye Xuan lifted his eyes, he saw Bibi Dong pushing the door open and walking in with graceful, measured steps.

However, when she saw Hu Liena sleeping by his side, there was little surprise in her eyes, though a hint of playfulness flickered at the corners of her gaze when she looked at Ning Rongrong sleeping on the other side.

Hu Liena, catching sight of Bibi Dong from the corner of her eye, immediately released Ye Xuan's arm and sat up nervously.

Ye Xuan also scrambled to sit up; despite the awkwardness, he feigned composure.

"Teacher!"

Ning Rongrong, sensing Ye Xuan's movement, had been confused, but upon seeing who had arrived, she was thoroughly startled.

"Your... Your Holiness the Pope!"

Bibi Dong merely glanced at her indifferently.

"It is of no consequence. Your father came to Martial Soul Hall yesterday to see me, saying he wanted you, Ye Xuan, and Na Na to head to the Holy King Ruins in the Star Luo Empire for training."

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Ning Rongrong felt her cheeks burn with embarrassment; she hadn't expected her old man to actually follow her all the way to Martial Soul Hall...

"Yes, disciple acknowledges the order."

Having received Ye Xuan's affirmative reply, Bibi Dong did not linger, though she looked at him with a slightly complex expression.

"Wash your face before you head out. Tomorrow, I will have Yue Guan and Gui Mei accompany you; do not lose face for our Martial Soul Hall."

As Bibi Dong departed, the tension in Ye Xuan's heart finally began to subside.

Soon, he recalled the words his master had left behind.

"Wash my face before heading out? Could it be that there's something on my face?"

Ye Xuan stood up and walked over to the vanity mirror not far away...

Please provide the text you would like me to revise. I am ready to translate it into natural, punchy English while adhering to your formatting requirements.

A quarter of an hour later.

Ye Xuan finally managed to restore his face to its original state, removing all the lipstick marks.

Immediately following this, he launched his "retaliation" against the culprits, Hu Liena and Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong was hung over the bed, and Ye Xuan used the vines of the Blue Silver Empress to spank her little bottom.

As for Hu Liena, whose strength was greater, she was placed across Ye Xuan's lap to be spanked.

Perhaps knowing that this situation was of their own making, although they begged for mercy, they did not use their soul power to break free from these rather flimsy restraints.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Ning Rongrong, her bottom flushed red, could only lie prone on the bed.

Hu Liena's condition was much the same as Ning Rongrong's.

Since they were of the Support and Spirit systems respectively, their physical constitution was not high, making Ye Xuan's spanking discipline particularly effective on them.

"Wuwuwu... Stinky Ye Xuan, bad Ye Xuan! When I go back, I'll make Grandpa Sword spank your bottom too..."

As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, let alone being spanked, she hadn't even been hit on the palm of her hand before.

Yet now, she had to watch helplessly as her originally fair and tender bottom was beaten into a shade of red...

Hearing Ning Rongrong's accusations, Ye Xuan remained indifferent.

Since Ning Fengzhi had sent Ning Rongrong to Martial Soul Hall, his intentions were self-evident.

Not to mention that Ning Rongrong had brought all of this upon herself, even if he had truly intended to spank her, Ning Fengzhi would not have said a word against it.

"Junior Brother, Senior Sister likes you so much and thinks of you whenever she has anything good, yet you actually spanked Senior Sister's delicate bottom... Wuwu, Senior Sister is so heartbroken."

Hu Liena slowly stood up, then immediately forced herself to endure the tingling sensation in her backside and sat directly on Ye Xuan's lap, facing him.

In such close proximity, two peerless lethal weapons pressed directly against Ye Xuan's face.

"Mmph... Senior Sister, you're playing dirty..."

Late at night, Hu Liena and Ning Rongrong still refused to yield to one another, both lying asleep at Ye Xuan's side.

However, tonight they did not leave any marks on Ye Xuan's cheeks; instead, they...

The next day, early morning.

Ye Xuan had just woken up when he was roused by a sensation of warmth, followed immediately by the scent of a distinct, fishy odor.

Upon catching this scent, Ye Xuan felt as if the sky had collapsed.

Good grief, had he dreamt of something he shouldn't have last night?

Although it was somewhat embarrassing, this was a perfectly normal physiological reaction for any adolescent boy.

A nocturnal emission.

As the saying goes, when the essence is full, it overflows; this was also a sign that a boy had no bad habits and possessed a very healthy body.

Ye Xuan looked nervously at Ning Rongrong and Hu Liena sleeping beside him.

Fortunately, they were both facing the other way, sleeping exceptionally soundly.

Seeing this, he stood up on tiptoe and, with wind at his heels, dashed straight into the bathroom.

However, Ye Xuan did not know that Hu Liena and Ning Rongrong had actually been awake for a long time, and that his current situation was entirely of their own making...

At high noon.

Two carriages bound for Star Luo Imperial City had been prepared. This time, the only people from Martial Soul Hall heading to the Holy King Ruins were Ye Xuan and Hu Liena, but since Ning Rongrong was accompanying them, the three of them shared one carriage.

As for Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, those two comrades filled with bromance naturally sat in the same carriage.

Ye Xuan leaned back against the soft carriage cushions, feeling incredibly comfortable, as if energy that had been pent up for a long time had finally been released in a timely manner.

For some reason, Hu Liena and Ning Rongrong sat on either side of him with flushed faces, not saying a word.
