Dugu Yan: How About Letting Lingling Be Your Wife?

Dugu Yan narrowed her eyes at Ning Rongrong, who looked ready to explode. Still doing as she pleased, she hugged Su Li and gently stroked his head.

"Come on~ Miss Rongrong, don't be so stingy."

"Surely a broad-minded, beautiful, graceful, and brilliant princess like you wouldn't mind us doing something like this, right?"

"I'm just touching Su Li. I'm not doing anything else."

Ning Rongrong was angry, yet secretly delighted at the same time. Looking at the girl smiling so "sincerely" before her, she suddenly did not know what to say.

"Hey! Enough!"

"A few touches are enough. Give him back already!"

Ning Rongrong swatted away Dugu Yan's filthy paw irritably, pulled Su Li behind her, and watched her with a wary expression, afraid that this bad woman would do something else.

Seeing them fighting over him, Ye Lingling subconsciously took a few steps back, keeping a slight distance from Su Li.

She lowered her head and secretly looked him over.

She did not dare overstep in the slightest.

"Fine, fine, I won't touch him anymore."

"How about I treat you to a meal?"

"I'll introduce you to a new friend while we're at it."

With a grin, Dugu Yan grabbed Ye Lingling's arm and pulled her before the two of them.

She wrapped an arm around the girl's waist and rested her head against her shoulder, her eyes curving into crescents.

"My good sister—Ye Lingling!"

"Isn't she beautiful?"

"You saw her martial soul just now. Isn't it incredibly powerful?"

Ning Rongrong put aside her concerns and turned her gaze to the seemingly icy girl.

Nine-Heart Begonia.

She had heard her father speak of this miraculous martial soul before.

Whenever she thought of it, she could not help feeling curious.

After all—

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was the finest support-type martial soul on the entire continent.

How powerful could a martial soul comparable to it be?

Today, she had seen it for herself.

"Hello, Sister Ye."

Ning Rongrong put away her airs and took the initiative to extend her hand.

The blue-haired girl paused, then extended her own hand and lightly shook hers.

"Mm, hello."

Her voice was cold and clear, devoid of any emotion.

A faint melancholy radiated from her eyes, exactly like Su Li's earlier.

It made Ning Rongrong instinctively feel fond of her.

This sister surely would not be as rude as Dugu Yan.

She would not just casually touch a boy's head.

At the very least—

She definitely would not be interested in Su Li, right?

"Hehe~ Lingling, this is Su Li, a genius with Innate Full Soul Power."

"What do you think? Isn't he handsome?"

Dugu Yan smiled as she took Ye Lingling by the arm and brought her close to Su Li.

Ye Lingling's heart suddenly raced, and for some reason, an absurd thought surfaced in her mind.

She wanted to open her arms and gently embrace the boy before her, to feel his presence.

That way—

Perhaps she would feel a little better.

"Little Li, isn't my sister beautiful?"

"How about having her as your wife in the future?"

Su Li: "???"

Ye Lingling: "......"

Ning Rongrong: "!!!"

"Ow!"

Dugu Yan sucked in a breath and clutched her waist as she turned around.

Ning Rongrong was smashing her with that little pagoda again.

And she had even used a soul skill.

Though it did not do much damage, getting hit still hurt a little.

"Ahem! I was joking. Don't take it seriously."

Dugu Yan immediately surrendered, smiling sheepishly.

Ye Lingling turned her head away and said abruptly, "Yan, say less of that sort of thing in the future."

"Okay, okay!" Dugu Yan scratched her head, then took two steps and hid behind Su Li, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Little Princess of the Seven Treasures, we'll be waiting for you in the academy cafeteria."

"I'm taking Su Li over first!"

With that, Dugu Yan grabbed his arm and ran off at top speed, leaving the two girls standing there blankly.

"Damn it! This is outrageous!"

"Did she do that on purpose?!"

Ning Rongrong was about to explode with anger. Hugging and touching Su Li was one thing, but why was she "kidnapping" him now?

Anyone who did not know better would think Su Li was her man!

Ye Lingling sighed helplessly. A rare trace of joy surfaced in her indifferent eyes.

Having dinner with him?

That seemed rather nice.

"Miss Ning, I'll take you there."

"Fine."

Ning Rongrong took Ye Lingling's hand, and like close sisters, they headed toward the dining hall.

She actually had quite a good impression of this girl.

She was pretty, cool in temperament, and seemed far quieter than Dugu Yan.

She smelled nice, and her legs were long too...

In any case, the most important thing was—

Ning Rongrong had secretly observed her just now. When Ye Lingling saw Su Li, she had not shown the possessive feelings other girls displayed.

She had been very calm, as though she regarded him like an ordinary person.

That was—

What Ning Rongrong liked most.

A pretty girl who did not want to steal her man was a good sister!

Soon enough—

The four of them left.

Yu Tianheng still stood there in a daze, looking desolate as though his soul had been drained away.

"Brother Tianheng... What's wrong with you?"

"Phew~ If you ask me, Su Li is just a child. Dugu Yan probably just likes children, that's all. There's definitely nothing more to it than that."

Hearing that—

The petrified Yu Tianheng instantly came back to life, and the light returned to his eyes.

"That's right! You're right, brother!"

"A proud girl like Yan, how could she like some little brat?"

"I was too sensitive."

Yu Tianheng took a deep breath and forced a smile onto his face.

As long as he won Yan over before that boy grew up—

A woman as devoted as her, once she fell in love with him, would probably never like anyone else.

He was a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and a prodigy within the sect.

He had his own pride!

"Come on, I'll take you to eat. My treat today!"

"Woohoo~ Brother Tianheng is awesome!"

Dining hall.

Ning Rongrong sat beside Su Li, glaring angrily at the bad woman across from her.

"Dugu Yan! I advise you to stop getting handsy!"

"Don't you know that men and women should not touch intimately?!"

Dugu Yan propped her chin up with one hand and said seriously, "Don't worry, Rongrong. I really have no interest in Little Li. I simply see him as a younger brother."

"Really?" Ning Rongrong looked at her doubtfully with her huge kawaii eyes.

"Mm-hmm! I swear, if I have even the slightest thought about Little Li, then I, Dugu Yan, will let Su Li stomp on my face as hard as he wants!"

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong thought that this woman was actually willing to make such a humiliating oath.

It seemed she really did not have any special feelings for Su Li.

After all, if it were Ning Rongrong—

She could not help wanting to bully Su Li a little too.

Pinch his cheeks hard, play with his hair.

Hold him in her arms and rub him around a few times.

Ning Rongrong's ears reddened, her legs subconsciously tensed, and she began blinking a little too quickly.

"Fine, I believe you."

"But you still have to respect Su Li's wishes. He isn't that kind of casual boy."

"Right?"

Ning Rongrong nudged Su Li beside her, who had been silently focused on eating, and shot him a disapproving glare.

"Hm?"

"That's right. I'm not that kind of casual boy."
