Heh Heh Heh Heh Heh Heh Heh

"Young master, your noble virtue has deeply moved me.

This is the most prestigious gold card of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I hope you'll accept it.

You can use this gold card to pay at any shop on the Douluo Continent. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will cover all the expenses!"

Ning Rongrong strode toward Xiao Yexuan as gracefully as a trail of stars across the river. The arrogance that usually shone unmistakably between her brows had vanished without a trace.

She carried herself with dignified elegance, her back straight as a rod, like a little princess from the royal family who had been immersed in etiquette since childhood.

A blush spread across her delicate cheeks as she held out a gold card engraved with the emblem of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, her fingertips trembling slightly.

As she offered it to Xiao Yexuan, she gazed at him with those bright, peach-blossom eyes, not blinking once, full of anticipation.

Xiao Yexuan's gaze fell on the gold card. Its iridescent patterns alone made it look worth a fortune.

He couldn't help swallowing, his Adam's apple bobbing.

Who was Ning Rongrong?

She was Ning Fengzhi's precious daughter, the treasured jewel of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

If she said the gold card could do something, then it certainly could.

For a man who was currently penniless, this was nothing less than an endless fortune delivered right to his doorstep. Greed stirred in his heart, and he couldn't help feeling tempted.

But at the same time, Xiao Yexuan's brows furrowed slightly. The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.

Zhu Zhuqing had treated him quite differently, but that was one thing. Now even the haughty Ning Rongrong was actively throwing herself at him. This couldn't possibly be a coincidence.

He suddenly realized that although he had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent without a system to back him up, he must have an overpowered cheat ability.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a special ability from a novel he'd once read surfaced in his thoughts: a succubus physique.

People with this physique naturally possessed a fatal allure that the opposite sex found impossible to resist.

The slightest glance from someone of the opposite sex would send their favorability toward the person soaring. And his own ability seemed even more powerful, as if it could raise favorability straight to the maximum.

Although being surrounded by two peerless beauties felt so good that Xiao Yexuan was practically floating, as a veteran player of gal games, he couldn't help feeling that the relationship had skipped the gradual push and pull of a proper romance, making it somewhat dull.

Still, it really did feel great.

In the blink of an eye, he had won the favor of two breathtaking young women.

And Ning Rongrong, the little rich girl of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, was giving him her full support.

With someone of Ning Rongrong's status by his side, he wouldn't have to worry about being arbitrarily targeted as he traveled across the Douluo Continent. The more Xiao Yexuan thought about it, the more delighted he felt.

Even though he was over the moon, Xiao Yexuan still decided to put on an air of reserve and politely refuse at first.

His gaze fell on the gold card Ning Rongrong offered. He neither waved it away immediately nor accepted it eagerly. He simply reached out with both hands.

He took it carefully, his movements as gentle as if he were handling a priceless treasure that might shatter at the slightest touch.

"Miss, thank you for your kindness. I'll accept this token of goodwill.

"But I won't use the money on this card.

"I believe we're good friends who understand each other, not people who came together because of some conflict of interest."

The instant Xiao Yexuan finished speaking, Ning Rongrong whipped her head around as if she'd been scalded.

She covered her burning cheeks with both hands, a stifled squeal escaping between her fingers. Her shoulders trembled with excitement, and a tempest surged through her heart.

This card could hold at least ten million Gold Soul Coins, enough for an ordinary Soul Master to squander for an entire lifetime.

And he'd turned it down so casually. What man could resist such temptation?

Where could she find a peerless man who didn't covet money?

And today, she'd actually met one!

No, no, no. She had to take him back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and let her father and the two grandpas who were Titled Douluo see him. No matter what, she had to keep him in the sect!

Ning Rongrong took a deep breath and swiftly turned around. The excitement and delight on her face vanished in an instant as she resumed her dignified, elegant composure.

She gave Xiao Yexuan a faint smile, and the admiration and affection in her eyes grew even stronger.

"Your virtue is truly admirable, young master. I really hope you'll join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so our friendship can grow even closer."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Xiao Yexuan repeated in a low voice, surprise flashing in his eyes.

"It's one of the wealthiest of the Upper Three Sects in the world, a place countless Soul Masters would fight tooth and nail to enter. It's also a cultivation sanctuary that every Soul Master dreams of."

Xiao Yexuan sighed softly, his tone sincere.

"Miss, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I'm used to being lazy and carefree. I really don't like being bound by any organization.

"Of course, I'll remember your kindness in giving me such a precious gold card.

"I promise you that if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect ever faces a crisis, or if there's anything you need me to do, as long as it doesn't violate my principles or cross my bottom line, I, Xiao, will certainly do everything I can!"

After hearing this, Ning Rongrong clenched the skirt at her side, her heart pounding. Excited, she turned her head again.

Facing the empty space behind her, she couldn't help letting out a string of tiny cheers. She looked like a little girl who had just gotten the toy she'd always wanted.

"Heh heh heh heh heh, oh! He actually turned it down. He really refused the invitation to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

"How could someone in this world not covet power and status?"

Even though he'd rejected her, she liked him even more!

He had such character, such a strong sense of responsibility, and such impeccable manners!

He knew full well that his Soul Power was only a little over ten levels and that he was still weak.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect really faced danger, their opponent would certainly be a powerful Titled Douluo, yet he was still willing to make such a promise...

Ning Rongrong whipped around and looked at Xiao Yexuan, her eyes blazing. Her voice brimmed with undisguised praise and was even a little louder than usual.

"Young master, you really are someone who keeps surprising me. Compared to you, everyone else is nothing but chickens and clay dogs. You're the most noble person in the world!"

The cloying praise made Xiao Yexuan's ears turn red. He was so embarrassed his toes nearly dug out a three-bedroom apartment.

He had no idea how to respond, so he could only stand there with a forced grin, saying nothing.

He was afraid that if he spoke again, the little princess, an erupting volcano of emotions, would say something even more shocking.

But Ning Rongrong's frank and passionate favoritism really did bring Xiao Yexuan plenty of unnecessary trouble.

He glanced at the people from Shrek Academy out of the corner of his eye. Dai Mubai stood at the very front of the crowd, fists clenched.

The veins at his temples bulged one after another. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked ready to charge over and beat Xiao Yexuan to a pulp without a second thought.

Even Dean Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others wore gloomy expressions. Envy and jealousy practically spilled from their eyes.
