Chen Xin: Am I Part of Your Play Too?

Leaving the Star Dou Forest.

Huo Wu looked as if her soul had been drained away. Her eyes were dull, and she was not in a very good mood.

That special person had clearly been right in front of her just now.

But...

She had neither the chance nor the reason to seize him.

If only...

Su Li could come to Blazing Fire Academy.

Then they could stick together every day. She could raise him as her child husband—it would definitely be very interesting!

The tips of Huo Wu's ears reddened, and a faint springtime tenderness appeared in her eyes.

Over the past year.

She did not know how many dreams like that she had had about Su Li.

The more she could not see or touch him, the more she could not stop herself from thinking about him...

In the end.

She could only play little games to deal with those empty nights.

During puberty, desires were intense.

Especially for girls.

They might look quiet and reserved on the surface, but when they truly went wild, they were even more terrifying than boys.

There were no fields worn out by plowing, only...

Ahem.

Positive energy. Keep things wholesome.

"Little sis, what's wrong with you today?"

"Are you still my hot-tempered little sister?"

Huo Wushuang approached Huo Wu with a baffled look and asked curiously.

The girl rolled her eyes and immediately drove an elbow into him.

"Damn! My kidney!"

Huo Wushuang instantly put on a mask of agony. At that moment, he was absolutely certain that the Huo Wu before him was his little sister!

Phew~

Thank goodness. He had thought she had become someone else.

"Big bro, what the hell is wrong with you?"

"Ahem... I just noticed you seemed a little different toward that kid..."

Huo Wushuang gave an awkward laugh.

Then his expression turned somewhat complicated.

He was far younger than them, yet he was already a Soul Grandmaster.

And his second soul ring was a thousand-year one!

Where had such a genius come from?

He was simply too terrifying!

If they encountered him in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament someday, would there even be any point in fighting?

Could it be...

His little sister had really taken a liking to that kid?

He had an otherworldly appearance and extraordinary talent.

Thinking about it carefully, he actually seemed pretty good?

"Phew~ Huo Wu was right. Huo Jun, you did not take that slap for nothing."

"If that young man had acted, our entire Blazing Fire Academy would not have been able to bear his wrath."

Huo Qiang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He had thought about it all the way here and finally remembered someone.

Sword Douluo, Chen Xin.

A refined and handsome face, an incisive aura, and a little witch who looked down on people through her nostrils.

That combination.

No matter how he looked at it, it resembled the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's lineup!

Of course, beyond that.

Su Li's talent, as well as his performance while absorbing his second soul ring.

Made him even more certain of the three's identities.

With that venerable one's strength.

It was indeed possible for him to cultivate such an outstanding disciple.

However.

A thousand-year second soul ring was still far too shocking.

He was even starting to suspect that Chen Xin was following behind them, preparing to silence them.

After all, if this information got out, the entire continent would be shaken for a long time.

After hearing Huo Qiang's guess.

Everyone sucked in a breath, their expressions extremely complicated.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Destroying Blazing Fire Academy would be no different from crushing an ant.

Fortunately, no major conflict had occurred. Otherwise, they might have all been left here today.

At that thought.

Several students all looked toward Huo Wu, their eyes filled with gratitude.

"Huh? I... uh..."

The girl awkwardly scratched her head. At the time, she had only wanted to stop Su Li from disliking them and letting that resentment spread to herself.

That was why she had done it.

"Ahem! There are always greater people and higher heavens. From now on, everyone needs to watch yourselves when you go out. Keep your mouths shut, or you may bring trouble upon yourselves and the academy."

"Understood!"

High in the sky.

Su Li and Chen Xin flew on their swords, slowly heading toward Heaven Dou City.

Behind him was a shy girl hugging his waist, her body pressed very close to his.

Her reason was: "I'm afraid of heights!"

Feeling the faintly curved softness against his back, even Su Li, who was concentrating on controlling his flying sword, could not help but freeze for a moment.

When had this girl grown up?

"Xiao Li, how is the enhancement brought by your second soul skill?" Chen Xin asked softly.

Su Li organized his thoughts before replying, "I named my second soul skill—Flame Sword."

"When used, it can coat sword qi in sacred fire, giving it powerful burning and purification effects."

"At the same time, when sword qi floats around my body, it grants fire immunity."

"It increases attack power by two hundred percent."

"It doubles against dark-attribute soul beasts."

Ning Rongrong's little face filled with surprise, and she could not help saying, "You're way too much of a counter against dark-attribute soul beasts and Spirit Masters, aren't you?"

"If they run into you, won't they be scared to tears?"

Chen Xin nodded, agreeing with Ning Rongrong's words.

"Xiao Li's martial soul naturally possesses extremely terrifying sacred and light power. It is only natural that it would restrain them."

"Unfortunately... there are not many dark-attribute Spirit Masters on our continent."

"Only in that place can one see quite a few of them..."

Chen Xin looked thoughtfully in a certain direction, seemingly lost in thought.

"Hmph! My second soul ring will absorb a thousand-year one too! Once we combine our strengths, won't we be invincible?!"

Thinking of how brilliantly she would shine in the future, Ning Rongrong rested her chin on Su Li's shoulder and could not help grinning foolishly.

A moment later.

The girl realized that her relationship with him seemed a little too intimate. She could not help taking half a step back and shyly studying Su Li's expression.

Seeing that he still wore a stern face, she pouted.

Hmph!

I'm already this close to you, and you still have no reaction?

How infuriating!

At that thought, Ning Rongrong grew bolder.

She rose onto her toes and lightly touched Su Li's ear with her tongue.

In an instant.

The two of them felt as if they had been electrocuted, their bodies going numb and tingly.

"You..."

Su Li's Pure Jun Sword swayed. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, or Chen Xin might have had to save them.

"I... I'm sorry... I touched it by accident..."

Ning Rongrong clutched his collar, her face red as a bubbling teapot. Her voice was soft as she buried her entire head against his sturdy back, her arms tightening around him.

"It's fine. Be careful next time..."

Su Li could not be bothered to argue with her. His gaze cleared slightly as he looked ahead once more.

But.

That touch.

Had thrown his heart into disarray.

And that place seemed to also...

Mm.

Too embarrassing to look at.

"Oh..."

Like a child who had done something wrong, Ning Rongrong secretly glanced at Su Li's expression.

When she saw that his ears seemed to have turned red, her eyes instantly lit up.

Like the stars in the sky.

Twinkling and sparkling.

So...

He could be shy too.

She had thought he was truly heartless...

Ning Rongrong's heart could not help leaping with joy. A faint smile rose on her lips as she leaned her head against his back and quietly closed her eyes, feeling wonderful.

The young man's long hair brushed against her face, gentle as water and as comfortable as moonlight.

"Su Li... You didn't know I wanted to ride your sword and secretly practiced for it, did you? I saw you still practicing very late before..."

"No. Don't overthink it."

"Oh~"

Chen Xin: "Wonderful."
