Dugu Yan rubbed her eyes, leaned close to Ning Rongrong's ear, and whispered, "Hey... is that your little sister?"
"No way! I don't even know her!"
"Huh? But she looks so much like you! Though she's got you beat in the chest department."
"Get lost!"
Ning Rongrong glared at her indignantly, then instinctively looked down, feeling a little defeated.
Boohoo~
Why?!
This isn't fair at all!
"Miss... who are you?"
Su Li blinked and gently pulled her out of his arms for the moment.
He certainly didn't mind a beauty throwing herself into his arms, even if she came charging in bust-first.
But doing this with a strange girl in broad daylight, right in front of Ning Rongrong...
Was a little inappropriate.
"Oh, right! I forgot to introduce myself. My name's Ning Ling'er!"
The girl lifted her head and stared into his eyes.
At that moment...
Su Li seemed to understand something.
She had found her way here from the Star Dou Forest in just a few days.
She had certainly worked hard.

How was he supposed to explain this?
Su Li looked at the girls behind him. Their questioning, suspicious gazes looked ready to eat him alive.
Hiss~
Well, it looked like the team was finally complete.
Mm.
What a team—more peril than promise.
"Ahem... miss, would you like to join our Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
Meng Shenji gave a light cough and asked.
Ning Ling'er seemed not to hear him at all. Her eyes held only the boy before her.
Only after getting a tap on the head did she come to her senses and look at the three education committee members behind her, the tips of her ears red.
"I... I'm here to find him."
"I see. Su Li is a student at our academy.
