By the time they reached Star Luo Imperial City, it was already nearing dusk the next day. Fortunately, the Star Luo Imperial Family had prepared lodgings for them in advance.
They did, however, run into two old acquaintances there.
Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Ye Xuan spotted a few other familiar faces besides them, but most of the young talents were natives of the Star Luo Empire.
The moment the two stunning beauties, Hu Liena and Ning Rongrong, appeared, they caught the attention of the Star Luo Empire's geniuses.
And Ye Xuan, standing between them, naturally became the center of attention.
After all, any boy who could stand beside two peerless beauties was definitely no ordinary person.
Just then, a tall young man with an impressive presence and a smile on his face walked up to Hu Liena.
"Yang Zhentian. My Martial Soul is the Soul Breaking Spear. I'm a thirty-fifth-level Power Attack System Battle Soul Master. Might I have the honor of sharing dinner with you, miss?"
After hearing his introduction, Hu Liena couldn't be bothered to entertain him.
"Sorry, not only am I having dinner with my junior brother tonight, I'm also going back to warm his bed for him. So you'd better be on your way."
When Hu Liena finished speaking, the talented young men in the lobby who believed themselves no less gifted than the heirs of great powers looked at Ye Xuan with envy.
A peerless beauty was going to warm his bed? What had this guy done to deserve such treatment!?
Yang Zhentian hadn't expected the rumored Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall to answer him like that.
He'd already planned to provoke a fight, then crush his opponent with the simplest, most brutal display of strength and make Spirit Hall lose face.
But he'd considered all sorts of possibilities. He'd never imagined she would say something like that.
The air suddenly went still. When he turned his gaze to Ning Rongrong on the other side, he saw her clutch Ye Xuan's arm tightly.
"Don't look at me. I'm spending tonight with Ye Xuan too, and I'm going to be his pillow..."
Ning Rongrong's words hit harder than a ladleful of boiling water poured into smoking hot oil, shattering the geniuses' entire worldview.
Even if they were ignorant of the world, surely they'd seen portraits of Hu Liena, the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, and Ning Rongrong, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's little princess.
There was nothing strange about Hu Liena and Ye Xuan, the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, having an ambiguous relationship. But was it really appropriate for the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to say something like that?
And in front of so many people, no less?
Hearing what the two girls said, Ye Xuan felt his vision go dark. He grabbed each of them around the waist and rushed straight through the crowd...
"Will you two stop talking? Come on, we're leaving."
As the three of them left, Yang Zhentian of the Breaking Clan, who had only wanted to pick a fight, could only feel that his life was a failure. He was already twenty and still didn't have a girlfriend.
But look at Ye Xuan, the Holy Son of Spirit Hall! He had the Holy Maiden Hu Liena in his left arm and the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in his right...
"Damn, even if Ye Xuan is the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, he can't go this far! He's already hooked up with his beautiful senior sister, and now he's got the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect..."
"Holy crap, Ye Xuan's a real savage! The Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall warms his bed, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is his pillow, and he's the Pope's disciple and the Holy Son of Spirit Hall to boot."
"Comparing yourself to others really does make you want to die. That guy's luck is just too good."
Before long, Ye Xuan carried Hu Liena and Ning Rongrong to his room and casually tossed them both onto the bed.
"Wow, no wonder it's a room provided by the Star Luo Empire. This bed is so big and soft. It's so comfortable..."
(*^▽^*)
Ning Rongrong lay on the bed with her little bottom sticking up, looking perfectly content. It was clear she had no idea how much trouble her words that day would bring her.
Hu Liena gave Ye Xuan a flirtatious look as well.
He didn't know why, but Ye Xuan could clearly feel that the two of them were becoming more and more "brazen" with him.
"Rongrong, what exactly were you trying to pull tonight? Senior Sister and I are fellow disciples, so rumors about us being close aren't that big a deal. But you're the young mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If word of what happened today gets out, it won't just affect you and me. It'll affect the powers we belong to as well."
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Ning Rongrong pouted.
"I don't care. I, Ning Rongrong, have chosen you for life. I don't want anyone but you."
As she said that, she seemed to think of something. Her cheeks instantly turned red all the way to her ears, and her little head began to smoke.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan realized something was off.
He quickly turned his gaze to Hu Liena.
But when Hu Liena met his eyes, she looked away.
Well, well.
Those two were definitely hiding something from him!
And from the looks on their faces, it definitely wasn't anything minor.
"Senior Sister, are you two hiding something from me?"
Hearing Ye Xuan's question, Hu Liena and Ning Rongrong immediately thought of the same thing.
Their cheeks reddened at a visible speed, and soon steam was rising from their heads too.
"J-Junior Brother, stop teasing me. You know Senior Sister likes you best. How could I hide anything from you?"
As she spoke, Hu Liena shot Ning Rongrong a look. The other girl understood at once.
"That's right, that's right, Brother Ye Xuan. Sister Hu Liena and I like you best. How could we hide anything from you?"
For once, Ning Rongrong and Hu Liena were on the same side. They absolutely couldn't let Ye Xuan find out about their little "feud" under the covers the morning before yesterday. If he did, they'd never be able to show their faces again...
Little did they know, Ye Xuan had already noticed their furtive little gestures.
"You two... forget it. You should head back to your rooms, wash up, and get some sleep. We're entering the Holy King Ruins at noon tomorrow to search for opportunities."
However, after hearing Ye Xuan's words, neither Hu Liena nor Ning Rongrong showed any intention of leaving.
Seeing them like this, Ye Xuan could only let the two women do as they pleased.
Deep into the night.
All was silent.
Ye Xuan usually substituted cultivation for sleep, but Hu Liena and Ning Rongrong had insisted on coming to share his bed for the past two days. So he'd decided to give himself a couple of days off and get some proper rest.
He was usually a light sleeper. The slightest noise would wake him.
He felt Hu Liena tiptoe into the bedcovers and assumed she just needed to use the bathroom.
But when he felt what Hu Liena did next, he froze in place, not daring to move.
Blushing beneath the covers, Hu Liena murmured to herself,
"After all that, Junior Brother must be really uncomfortable..."
