Dugu Yan: I'm Sorry... I'm Sorry, Xiao Li...

Leaving the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Dugu Yan suddenly seemed to lose her mind and started hopping around. With an enraptured look, she covered her cheeks and spun in circles before Dugu Bo.

"???"

No way.

Had his precious granddaughter gone mad?

"Yanzi, don't scare me."

Dugu Bo swallowed and hurried over, grabbing her wrist to examine her.

Seeing that she was perfectly healthy and showed no signs of toxins invading her brain, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hahaha! Grandpa, I'm fine!"

"I found a treasure!"

"I really want to hide it away so no one else can see it~"

Covering her cheeks, Dugu Yan spoke with an excited expression.

The faintly crazed smile on her face made Dugu Bo's scalp prickle.

Hiss—

What on earth was wrong with his granddaughter?

Even if she had seen Su Li, there was no need to get this excited, was there?

Calling him a treasure, too...

Wasn't he just a man? What was so special about that?

At most, he was a little better-looking. When Dugu Bo had been young, he hadn't been bad-looking either, all right!

Dugu Bo felt rather miserable, as though the little padded jacket he had raised for over a decade had suddenly started letting in drafts.

"Grandpa, let's go home quickly!"

"I can't wait to cultivate!"

Dugu Yan was a little worked up as she tugged him home.

"Slow down."

Dugu Bo let out a helpless sigh, feeling that the clingy little girl from before would never return.

Oh, no...

From now on, she would cling to someone else.

Not long after.

Once Dugu Yan returned home, she began cultivating.

This time.

Her cultivation speed was still the same as before.

However, the duration did not last as long.

"Hmm? Could the effect be different every time?"

"That makes sense. How could the first time compare to the times after that?"

Dugu Yan was not greedy. This was already quite good.

She had a feeling.

If she cultivated while hugging Su Li day and night, she might soon break through to level thirty!

What kind of strange constitution was this? She had never heard of anything like it in the world.

Would it work on other people too?

Dugu Yan rubbed her chin and began to think.

"First of all, it probably doesn't work on men. After all, Su Li was picked up by Sword Douluo, and he must have touched his head too."

"Second... as for women, it probably doesn't work on just any woman."

"Ning Rongrong has held Su Li's hand and touched his head. If she felt her cultivation speed becoming much faster, she should have told Ning Fengzhi, right?"

"Or she would guard her food like a tigress and never let outsiders get close to him."

"So! There is only one truth!"

Dugu Yan stood up with a delighted look, the possessiveness in her eyes growing even stronger.

Afterward.

She cupped her cheeks with both hands, lay on the bed, and could not help stretching her feet taut.

"Mmh~"

"It should... only work on me, right?"

"After all, we'll be a pair in the future... Thinking about it that way, it makes sense."

Dugu Yan licked her lips and lay on the bed, her face flushed.

She clamped a pillow between her legs, seemingly treating it as Su Li.

"I really want to... I really want to keep hugging you..."

"Su Li, grow up quickly... Then big sis can hold you."

"Hehehe~"

Dugu Yan's pretty face burned as she buried her head beneath the blankets, seemingly about to carry out some special ritual.

Half an hour later.

She poked out her little head, her ear tips and cheeks bright red, her eyes filled with guilt and regret.

"I'm sorry..."

"I shouldn't have done that..."

"I'm sorry..."

Dugu Yan hurriedly got up to take a bath, unable to stop herself from repenting inwardly.

Night.

Su Li looked at the furtive shadow outside the door, sighed softly, and rubbed his brow. "Young Sect Master, you've been standing outside for ages. What exactly is the matter?"

A moment later.

Ning Rongrong pushed open the door. Her ear tips were tinged a faint cherry red, and with her hands on her hips, she declared boldly, "Hmph! I just got here. Don't falsely accuse me!"

"Yes, yes. So what exactly is the matter?"

Su Li asked curiously, wondering if she had come to find him in the middle of the night because of some unspeakable secret.

Ning Rongrong quietly closed the door, then walked to his bed, kicked off her shoes, and nimbly sat down on it.

Su Li: "???"

What was she doing?

Damn!

At this rate, he would be hung from a tree and whipped!

"Su Li, I discovered something."

"As long as I'm by your side, I feel like I can calm down, and cultivation goes very smoothly."

"Whenever you're not around, everything feels bumpy and difficult."

Ning Rongrong looked at him with complete sincerity.

She did not seem to be lying.

Su Li's expression turned strange. He felt that the girls around him had been getting increasingly strange lately.

First Dugu Yan, then Ning Rongrong.

And even...

Whenever he attended the academy, he always felt as though someone was secretly watching him from the shadows.

Whenever he noticed it.

That strange sensation would quickly disappear, as though it had never been there.

At first, he had thought it was Dugu Yan.

Later, he realized.

She would never secretly peep on someone like that.

If she wanted something, she would just pounce directly!

Right in front of Ning Rongrong, too...

Whenever he thought of that scene, he did not know how to describe it.

Sorry, Rongrong, I didn't mean to...

Peh, peh, peh!

Why did this feel increasingly strange?

Su Li: "So?"

Ning Rongrong: "So let's cultivate together!"

Six.

Could he refuse?

Unfortunately, the young miss always gave notice rather than asked for opinions.

She immediately sat cross-legged and began cultivating.

"Hurry up! If you keep dawdling, be careful or I'll kick your face with my foot."

"Okay."

Su Li lowered his head and glanced at her rosy little feet. It seemed that would not be too bad.

He had to admit, the little princess's skin was exceptionally well cared for.

Whew—

Cultivation came first.

He felt that he was about to reach level fourteen.

Very soon.

The two entered a cultivation state.

Ning Rongrong narrowed her eyes, feeling as if her soul had been elevated.

This aura that erased all negative influences was simply so addictive.

Su Li really smelled so nice!

Before long.

The two cultivated until dawn.

Ning Rongrong was the first to be unable to hold on. She flopped down and fell asleep.

She snored loudly, and her sleeping posture was rather indecent.

Her feet rested on Su Li's legs, and they would not stay still.

Looking at the ice cream before him, he helplessly got up, tucked the blanket around the girl, and left his own bed.

A moment later.

Su Li stared at Ning Rongrong sleeping on the bed, and he suddenly had an illusion.

In the future, his bed probably would not belong to him anymore.

It would be forcibly occupied by some domineering little deviless.

"Forget it. I barely sleep anyway."

Su Li closed his eyes and lay on the sofa to rest for a while.

Once he felt more refreshed.

He continued cultivating.

However, Ning Rongrong on the bed was still talking in her sleep.

Every time it came to the end, it seemed as though he became a scumbag.

"Su Li... Don't leave me..."

"I'm willing... I'm willing to accept them..."

"Dugu Yan, let go of your dirty claws!"

Su Li listened silently, finding it rather novel.

He just did not know.

Who else would appear in her dreams.

"Xue Qinghe! What are you doing?!"

"He's a man!"

Su Li: "???"
