"Yeah!"
"Xiao Wu, you're amazing!"
Seeing Dai Mubai get careless and be kicked flying by Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong was instantly overjoyed.
Xiao Wu said smugly:
"Of course. We work together flawlessly."
That was the kind of understanding friends had.
Tang San could never figure out why Xiao Wu trusted Ning Rongrong so much. She had even ignored his words just to help Ning Rongrong.
The two of them had grown very close.
Indeed!
As far as Xiao Wu was concerned,
Ning Rongrong knew her biggest secret. If Ning Rongrong had wanted to hurt her, she wouldn't have acknowledged her in the first place. She would've found someone to kill her and take her soul ring long ago.
Since Ning Rongrong would never hurt her, Xiao Wu naturally treated her as a close friend and was sincere with her!
Just then, the twin sisters hurried out of the hotel lobby. Each grabbed one of Dai Mubai's arms to help him up, their faces full of concern.
"Young Master Dai, are you all right?"
"Young Master Dai, let's go somewhere else. Don't stoop to their level and let them ruin our fun tonight."
The sisters were worried, too. Dai Mubai had already failed to take on two opponents, and if they beat him up any worse, all he'd get tonight was a face full of spit.
"Get lost!"
Dai Mubai trembled with rage and shouted:
"You two are asking to die!"
Dai Mubai had finally snapped. Two women had kicked him until he vomited blood, and they were both Soul Grandmasters. How could he put up with that?
So much for one tiger riding two hens!
He might as well not ride anyone tonight!
Just as Dai Mubai was about to attack, he spotted an exceptionally striking figure among the onlookers.
Exceptionally striking.
That young girl's figure, the magnificent curves of her chest—forget girls her age, even if you broadened the age range, no one could hold a candle to her.
The girl was Zhu Zhuqing.
Damn it!
What was she doing here?
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, put away his Martial Soul, and left them with a threat. "Today, the two of you were lucky!"
He felt guilty toward Zhu Zhuqing. At a time like this, he couldn't afford to worry about saving face. He tucked his tail between his legs and ran.
"Young Master Dai, wait for us!"
The twin sisters hurried after him, their chests bouncing as they ran. They were probably only a little less impressive than the girl from earlier.
Dai Mubai was young and rich. The sisters had never been with such a fine man in their lives, and they were devoted to Young Master Dai!
"Bleh, bleh, bleh...!"
Xiao Wu stuck her tongue out at Dai Mubai's retreating back.
However,
Dai Mubai thought Zhu Zhuqing had saved the two girls today. In truth, Zhu Zhuqing had saved him!
If he'd really dared to lay a hand on Xiao Wu, wouldn't he have been courting death?
Even though Tang San was only level twenty-nine right now!
And Ning Rongrong?
With her personality, how could she not have experts protecting her in secret?
Heaven Dou City.
By the time Su Chen and the others returned, it was almost midnight.
Dugu Bo looked at Su Chen and asked, "Where are you going? It's already this late. You and Lingling should come back with us."
Su Chen thought it over, then said, "I'm going to Spirit Hall, and Lingling will come with me. Tomorrow, I'll go to her family's home with her."
"I may leave the day after tomorrow, so I won't get the chance to say goodbye to you, Senior."
Dugu Bo was a little puzzled.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Is there something important you need to do?"
Su Chen grinned. "Of course! Something very important. I'm going to bully someone—really badly. Just thinking about it makes me want to set off right now."
At his words, the names "Yu Xiaogang" instantly popped into Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan's minds. It had to be him.
Dugu Bo was speechless. He glanced at Dugu Yan, then stretched his limbs.
"We've been sitting in this carriage for quite a while. I'll get down and stretch my legs."
With that, he jumped down and disappeared.
The carriage fell silent.
As they passed a shop,
Ye Lingling suddenly said, "Su Chen, this place has delicious roast chicken. I'll go buy you some."
The carriage stopped, and Ye Lingling quickly stepped out.
Silence.
Dugu Yan didn't say a word.
Su Chen gave her a strange look. "If you don't have anything to say, they'll be back soon."
"I..."
Dugu Yan's feelings were complicated!
She wasn't like Hu Liena. When Hu Liena had met Su Chen, he'd been alone, so she could boldly pursue him and confess her feelings.
She wasn't like Ye Lingling, either. Ye Lingling and Su Chen had been directly joined in marriage; their relationship had been about marriage from the start, with love coming afterward.
But!
That wasn't even the main issue. Dugu Yan didn't know how to face her own feelings. It was too early to call it love, after all. They'd only known each other for a few days.
She only liked him a little, perhaps!
But!
Su Chen was already Ye Lingling's husband. For her to fall for him now would be somewhat inappropriate!
Su Chen said:
"Since you don't know what to say, then let me say it!"
"Yanzi, would you be willing to come with me to Spirit City?"
"I'm not asking you to elope with me. I want you to come to Spirit City to study. I can teach you cultivation techniques that will improve your overall strength and increase the age of the soul rings you can absorb in the future."
Dugu Yan was delighted. She nodded quickly. "Mm, I'm willing. I want to go to Spirit City with you and learn Soul Skills."
She was truly happy!
She'd never expected Su Chen to come up with an excuse for her, too.
That way, she wouldn't have to face an awkward situation.
Su Chen smiled and nodded, then called outside, "Lingling, are you done buying it?"
"Done, done."
Ye Lingling had already been waiting to come back.
Just then, Dugu Bo's figure landed on top of the carriage.
The carriage continued on its way.
In front of Spirit Hall.
Su Chen brought Ye Lingling down and said, "Yanzi, we'll come pick you up in front of Heaven Dou Academy the day after tomorrow, in the morning."
"Okay!"
Dugu Yan nodded firmly.
"Goodbye, Yanzi!"
Ye Lingling waved goodbye, then followed Su Chen into Spirit Hall.
On the way back,
Dugu Yan didn't care whether Dugu Bo believed her. She spoke with utmost seriousness.
"Grandfather, I'm going to take a temporary leave from school and go with Su Chen to Spirit City to learn his Self-Created Soul Skill."
Dugu Bo smiled and nodded.
"Mm, I support you!"
"You've already seen this piece of fine jade. From now on, I'm afraid no one else will ever leave you so dazzled."
Dugu Yan's expression turned complicated.
"Grandfather, it's not what you think... He's already Lingling's husband."
Spirit Hall.
When Hu Liena heard Su Chen was back, she happily rushed out and threw herself straight into his arms.
"You rascal, you actually came back!"
Su Chen held her in his arms and couldn't help laughing. "I said it would take two or three days, didn't I? I came back overnight as fast as I could."
Ye Lingling stood quietly to one side, watching Hu Liena.
This woman—she was beautiful! Her face was no less lovely than Ye Lingling's, and her figure was just as good. She wore a pink crop top and a pair of very short pink shorts. Most importantly, she had the mature, seductive allure that men loved.
There wasn't a single flaw to be found!
Hu Liena then stepped out of Su Chen's embrace and turned her gaze to Ye Lingling, sizing her up in turn.
Her short silver hair made her look cool and beautiful, and her features were delicately sculpted. Her fitted silver-and-white dress accentuated her graceful curves and long legs. Most striking of all, she wore a pair of silver-white stockings.
She really was irresistible to both men and women.
