I Really Should Give You a Good Scolding!

Ning Rongrong kept her lips pursed the whole way, as if she were genuinely angry.

Su Li wanted to find Sword Douluo Chen Xin, but he had no idea where the man had hidden himself.

He probably did not want to coax her either.

After all, the young lady's temper was famously bad.

It would take a long time to soothe her.

Su Li sighed softly, his gaze sweeping over the roadside before his thoughts stirred.

At this moment.

Ning Rongrong was still muttering under her breath, staring down at her toes as she kicked pebbles by the roadside.

"Stupid Su Li! Are you really not going to coax me?!"

"I deliberately slowed down, so why is he still such an idiot?!"

"Hmph~ I'm so mad!"

Ning Rongrong irritably glanced behind her. Just as she was about to speak, she realized Su Li had vanished somewhere.

For a moment.

She panicked.

"Su Li! You didn't abandon me and leave on your own, did you?"

"Hey! Where are you?!"

Ning Rongrong's face paled slightly as a terrible thought instantly surfaced in her mind.

Had a soul beast carried him off?

Or... had he gotten lost?

As for him leaving her behind, that possibility never even crossed her mind.

After all.

In her eyes.

Su Li definitely liked her!

Otherwise, how could they end up together in the future?

It was just that.

She did not know who would make the first move.

"Damn it! I really want to give you a good scolding!"

Ning Rongrong snorted coldly, hands on her hips, her heart in turmoil.

Although she had complete confidence in Grandpa Sword's strength.

What if?

What if something happened to Su Li? Wouldn't that mean her husband was gone?

And if he was gone, where would she find someone this good-looking to snatch away?

Just as Ning Rongrong was worrying, a voice came from behind her.

"Hey, why did you stop walking?"

The girl's eyes flickered, and she instinctively turned around.

Once she saw that he was fine.

She was first delighted, then let out a sigh of relief.

Finally, her pretty face returned to its cold expression, her lips still pursed as she ignored him.

Su Li shook his head. What a little tsundere.

It seemed he had to take the initiative.

Just as Ning Rongrong was about to brush past him, he casually caught her fair wrist.

The girl's delicate body trembled, and the tips of her ears swiftly turned red.

She turned around and looked at him expressionlessly. "What is it?"

Su Li said nothing. Instead, he took a seven-colored flower from his soul tool and gently tucked it into her hair right in front of her.

Ning Rongrong blinked at the boy standing so close to her, her face flushing so red it looked ready to bleed.

She instinctively wanted to step back, but forcibly held herself still.

After absorbing the soul ring, Su Li had become slightly taller than her.

Once he had put the flower in place, a faint smile rose on his lips.

"The Young Sect Mistress is really pretty."

"This flower suits you very well."

Ning Rongrong: "!!!"

The girl hurriedly turned away, leaving him with an adorable profile as she said in a slightly trembling voice, "Y-you think... you can coax me with just this...?"

"I-I'm not falling for that..."

Looking at her chubby pink cheeks, Su Li thought how nice it would be if he could give them a pinch.

If he used any force, tears would probably spill out, right?

He did not make any overly presumptuous move. He merely patted the girl's head lightly before withdrawing his hand.

Ning Rongrong's mind was in a daze, and she could not even glare at him now.

She could only try her best to keep a straight face and look ahead as if nothing had happened.

"Fine!"

"I'll let you off this time. Next time, it won't be so easy!"

Tap tap tap~

Ning Rongrong walked away quickly.

As though she were fleeing.

Su Li watched her back, marveling at how innocent the girls of Love Continent were.

He just did not know.

Whether she would still be this cute once she grew up.

"Young Sect Mistress, slow down. There are no soul beasts behind you."

"None of your business!"

The two children gradually walked together again, and their relationship returned to normal.

Chen Xin stood atop a large tree, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.

He shook his head and muttered to himself.

"This kid really has a way with her. A wildflower picked from the roadside was enough to coax Rongrong."

"Good thing Su Li belongs to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. If he were an outsider, that would be troublesome..."

After leaving Sunset Forest.

Ning Rongrong's cheeks were no longer puffed up, her eyes no longer glared, and even her steps had become much lighter.

"Grandpa Sword, you promised!"

"After helping Su Li absorb his soul ring, you'd take me out to have fun!"

"Don't go back on your word!"

Chen Xin looked at her fondly and nodded helplessly. "Of course, of course."

Ning Rongrong excitedly jumped in front of them. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she hurriedly touched the flower in her hair.

Once she sensed it was still there, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She glanced at Su Li from the corner of her eye. Seeing that he was not paying attention to her at all, a faint sense of disappointment rose in her heart.

"Hey! Stupid Su Li, you know so much. Do you know any fun places?"

Ning Rongrong walked over and kicked his foot as she asked calmly.

Su Li came back to his senses and looked at her blankly. "I'm an orphan. How would I know?"

"This is my first time leaving the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."

Ning Rongrong paused, her eyes filling with guilt as she hurriedly turned her head away.

"Oh... s-sorry."

"How about this? I'll take you out to have fun! I'll pay for everything!"

"Whatever you like, I'll buy it for you!"

Ning Rongrong grabbed Su Li's arm and puffed out her chest, looking every bit like a little rich girl.

Unfortunately.

No matter how much she puffed it out, it was useless.

She still did not even have an A cup.

"Whatever. I'm fine with anything."

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at him speechlessly.

This guy always said "whatever" and "anything is fine."

Who knew where he had picked that up.

It was really infuriating.

"Fine, fine. Just follow me when the time comes."

Ning Rongrong patted his shoulder, a confident smile appearing on her lips.

She might not be good at other things.

But when it came to spending money.

There were not many people in the entire world who could compare to her.

Chen Xin silently followed behind them, maintaining a suitable distance.

He would not disturb them.

But if danger arose, he would also be able to act in time.

Ten minutes later.

Ning Rongrong swaggered into a restaurant and ordered a great deal of food.

Su Li had thought she wanted to have fun first, but it turned out she had come to eat.

Sure enough.

People were made of iron, and food was made of steel. Skip a meal, and you would be starving.

"I'm hungry. I need to fill my stomach first."

Ning Rongrong raised her snow-white neck and declared proudly.

"Boss, reserve a room for me..."

Bang!

The restaurant door was suddenly kicked open, and flying wood chips accidentally struck Ning Rongrong on the head.

The girl had been quite happy just moments ago, but the smile gradually vanished from her face as she turned around coldly.

"The Power Clan is handling business! All irrelevant people, get out!"

At this moment.

Several burly men entered.

They swept their eyes over everyone present with disdain.

Many customers who had still been eating hurriedly fled.

Some climbed out through the windows, while others pressed themselves against the walls and slowly edged away.

In less than half a minute.

Aside from Su Li and Ning Rongrong.

Only the owner and a woman lying on the floor with a despairing expression remained.

A young man noticed Ning Rongrong, and a flash of amazement passed through his eyes.

"Cousin! I want to capture her and take her home as my wife!"
