Back at the Mandarin Duck Pot, Su Ye did not immediately take pills to level up.
He had been busy all night, after all. It was time to get some rest.
After all, there had to be limits to grinding!
"You haven't slept all night either. Go get some rest first."
"You should know about that cave. There are beds and bedding inside."
Su Ye pointed at the nearby cave as he spoke to Dugu Yan.
Although he was no simp, he was not so oblivious that he would take the bed for himself and leave a girl to fend for herself.
Dugu Yan nodded without saying much. Her steps were light, and after a few flickers, she darted into the cave.
"Why are you running so fast?"
Su Ye looked surprised. Why did it seem like she was hiding from him?
Was he that scary?
No way. He was still as handsome as ever!
Walking over to the Mandarin Duck Pot and looking at his reflection, Su Ye muttered in confusion.
Then he shook his head, casting aside those random thoughts as he prepared to plunge headfirst into the Mandarin Duck Pot.
What was so good about sleeping on a bed? Sleeping in a hot spring was far more comfortable.
However, just then, a voice suddenly came from the cave.
"Su Ye, are you there?"
"I'm here. What is it?"
"I... I have a little problem over here. Can you come in and help me?"
Why was she messing around instead of sleeping?
Completely baffled, Su Ye turned and walked toward the cave.
"What..."
As Su Ye entered the cave and was about to ask, a fragrant breeze suddenly washed over him, followed by a soft, delicate body crashing into his arms.
This...
Su Ye was stunned. What was going on?
"You..."
"What do you mean, 'you'? Come on!"
Dugu Yan cut him off and grabbed him, pulling him inside.
She had been nervous and shy at first, but she had always been someone who dared to love and hate. Now that she had made up her mind, she became extremely assertive.
She had not spent much time with Su Ye, nor could she say she understood him particularly well.
But feelings were never logical. Once the feeling came, all logic became meaningless.
Having realized that, Dugu Yan acted decisively.
She did not know whether she would regret it in the future, but at least at this moment, she was willing, and that was enough.
Any problems could be discussed later.
"Su Ye, I want you to help me cultivate a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
Su Ye: ???
Was she really being that direct?
He was completely dumbfounded. How had this suddenly... well.
Forget it. Rejecting what was delivered to his door would be a sin against heaven.
Any problems could be discussed later.
A Martial Soul Fusion Skill was an extremely profound technique. The two of them diligently and humbly studied it together, their sounds of exchange never ceasing.
But Su Ye quickly convinced her with his deep foundation. Dugu Yan stopped arguing and humbly accepted all the knowledge Su Ye imparted.
It was their first time cultivating a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and both of them were highly enthusiastic, continuing their cultivation for a long time.
Only several hours later, when Dugu Yan could no longer resist her drowsiness and fell asleep, did this round of shared cultivation come to an end.
After studying for several hours, Su Ye was full of energy. He simply got up and left the cave so as not to disturb her rest.
"Phew!"
Outside, Su Ye spread his arms and let out a long breath, feeling utterly refreshed.
What?
You were asking why he was not tired after cultivating the Martial Soul Fusion Skill for so long?
What a joke. Did they not know what kind of physique he had?
This was nothing. Even if the intensity increased tenfold, it would not be a problem.
Returning to the Mandarin Duck Pot, Su Ye did not delay this time. He jumped straight in and soaked comfortably.
At the same time, he opened the Diary, intending to write in it while he had some free time.
After all, things were different now. He might need to keep studying tonight, so where would he find the time?
[Douluo year xxxx, sunny.] [Today was a very meaningful day for me.] [Ever since I came to Love Continent, I had always felt out of place here, completely unable to blend in.]
Other than the sleeping Dugu Yan, all the women chose to check the Diary the instant it updated.
They soon saw an opening completely different in tone from before.
Crown Prince's Residence.
A thoughtful look appeared in Qian Renxue's eyes. She felt that she roughly understood what Su Ye was trying to say.
A person suddenly arriving in another world would have no family or friends there. Even if he knew a great deal, there would still be a sense of loneliness deep within him.
She understood that feeling all too well.
Because, in a sense, she and Su Ye were actually the same.
Seven Treasures Hotel.
"Lonely?"
Ning Rongrong's large eyes shifted as she thought of herself as well.
Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she was the Little Demoness everyone avoided.
People her age appeared respectful on the surface, but in truth, none of them wanted to get too close to her. She knew that clearly.
Without even a single close friend, how could she not be lonely?
At the same moment.
Bibi Dong, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang Yuehua, Liu Erlong...
Many people fell silent, empathizing with Su Ye. If Su Ye had been beside them right then, some of them would have been unable to stop themselves from hugging him.
[Before, I never understood why, but now I know.] [Love Continent, Love Continent. After coming here, could I really get away with not falling in love?] [Here, the protagonists fall in love, the supporting characters fall in love, the villains fall in love, and even the God Kings of the God Realm fall in love. If you do not fall in love, of course you will seem out of place.] [In fact, in God King Tang's words, that makes you a heretic, an object to be eradicated.]
Huh?
Su Ye's sudden turn caught all the women off guard, leaving them with black lines across their faces.
No, bro, was that what you meant?
Damn it!
Could he stop being such a flirt?
I was getting all emotional and feeling sorry for you, and then you pull this? It makes me look like an idiot.
Bibi Dong cursed irritably, "As expected, he's a scumbag. I just wonder which girl he has ruined this time."
"Dugu Yan?"
"Did he get together with Yan Yan?" Ye Lingling's expression was unreadable, and something that resembled disappointment appeared in her eyes, though it might have been an illusion.
Crown Prince's Residence.
Bang!
The dressing table before Qian Renxue trembled violently. The breathtakingly beautiful face reflected in the mirror was now covered in frost.
"Falling in love? How could that possibly be allowed?"
"You're a transmigrator! You're the man who is supposed to defeat Little Scumbag!"
"Falling in love? Is that something you should be doing?"
"Even if you were going to fall in love, it should be with..."
Her voice abruptly halted. Qian Renxue's expression changed repeatedly before she finally realized something, making her even angrier. With one slap, she smashed the dressing table to pieces.
Bang!
"Bastard!"
Su Ye had no idea how the women were reacting. After making a few sarcastic remarks, he checked today's theme.
"Huh? It's her?"
Upon seeing today's theme, a figure with a magnificent bosom immediately appeared in Su Ye's mind.
[Interesting. Today's theme is finally not one of those bizarre characters like Tang San and Bibi Dong... uh, no, this one seems pretty bizarre too.]
Within an inconspicuous village, the figure Su Ye had described as possessing a magnificent bosom froze slightly. Somewhat surprised, she said, "I... I'm bizarre too?"
