I Just Wanted to Go Out and Have Fun. Who Wanted to Go with Him?

Night.

Su Li lay soaking in the bathtub.

He was not as tired as he had imagined, though his arms were a little sore.

Had it been the body of any other six-year-old child, he would probably have passed out long ago.

Unfortunately.

He was different from them.

His physical strength was probably already comparable to that of a two-ringed Soul Master.

As he grew older, the advantage of his physique would only become more pronounced.

By then.

Absorbing soul rings beyond his age limit would not be all that difficult.

"Whew~"

Su Li suddenly rose from the bathtub. After casually drying himself off, he put on his slippers and walked over to the bed.

He crossed his legs and prepared to cultivate.

A moment later.

His expression lit up.

"It really works!"

"As expected of the meditation method I only obtained after winning over three female characters. Its cultivation speed is who knows how many times faster than everyone else's!"

The Natural Meditation Method.

It was an advanced cultivation technique Su Li had spent a great deal of time acquiring in the game.

By allowing one's body to merge with nature and absorb the energy of all things, it could rapidly improve one's cultivation.

It was far stronger than the simulated cultivation method of this era.

However.

No matter how powerful a meditation method was, it still required time to cultivate.

Without accumulating small steps, one could not travel a thousand miles.

He understood that much.

Very soon.

Su Li entered a meditative state.

Strangely enough.

The flowers and grass around his courtyard began to sway.

As though they had encountered something joyful, they seemed to be holding hands, singing and dancing together.

At that moment.

Ning Rongrong lay on the lawn plucking leaves, her little legs swinging up and down as she puffed out her cheeks and looked toward that courtyard.

Am I really that bored? I actually watched this guy cultivate all day?

He already has innate full soul power, yet he still works this hard. Is he going to leave any room for the other Sect disciples to live?

Ning Rongrong sighed helplessly.

She tossed away the clover in her hand, propped her chin in both hands, and gradually drifted into a daze.

She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she did not even notice someone appearing beside her.

"Ahem... Rongrong."

"!!!"

The girl froze, and the tips of her ears instantly turned red at a visible speed.

She hurriedly climbed up from the lawn and looked at him with a hint of resentment.

"Daddy! Why don't you make any sound when you walk?"

"Oh, right, I was just looking at the stars. I definitely wasn't watching Su Li cultivate!"

The corner of Ning Fengzhi's mouth twitched. It would have been better if she had said nothing.

Now that she had brought it up, how could he possibly believe her?

"Alright, alright. I believe you."

"It's late. Hurry back and get some rest."

Ning Rongrong nodded her little head and vanished in a flash.

Watching her retreating figure, Ning Fengzhi could not help but feel deeply emotional.

"What a headache-inducing little troublemaker."

After saying that.

He looked toward Su Li's courtyard, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

"Little Li is much better—obedient and hardworking."

"How wonderful it would be if he were my son. Rongrong is far too mischievous. I wonder whether she'll improve once she grows up."

At the mention of his daughter, Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly.

Then.

He walked into the night breeze and gradually disappeared beneath the bright moon.

The next day.

Su Li woke at dawn.

After getting up and washing his face, he began practicing his swordsmanship.

Although the meditation method could replace cultivation, he was still growing at his age, and sleep was essential.

Thus, sleeping two hours each day was more or less enough.

Xiaolan, his personal maid, watched Su Li get up so early to practice his swordsmanship, and a trace of surprise flashed through her eyes.

Was her young master really this diligent?

Not even those Soul Masters at the peak of their cultivation speed worked as hard as he did.

An hour later.

The little devil, who had been sleeping soundly, finally woke up.

Two pretty maidservants helped her dress and wash up.

When it was time to eat, Ning Rongrong subconsciously asked a question.

"What is Su Li doing today?"

A young maid with twin ponytails answered respectfully, "Reporting to Miss, Young Master Su got up at dawn today."

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened as she glanced at the clock.

Well then.

She had become a little lazy pig, hadn't she?

Before, with no one to compare herself to, she naturally had not thought much of it.

But Su Li lived right next to her.

He got up so early to cultivate.

Didn't that make her look lazy?!

As the young sect mistress of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, how could she let a disciple her own age outdo her?!

Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and said coldly.

"From now on, wake me up at dawn too!"

"I won't lose to that guy!"

The two maidservants in maid outfits exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.

In the past.

If they had dared wake this little princess, they would definitely have received a vicious scolding.

And now, she actually wanted to get up early herself?

Had the sun risen in the west?

"Yes, Miss... we'll remember."

"Mm."

Ning Rongrong finished breakfast in a gloomy mood, then sat at home with no idea what to do.

Though she was the young sect mistress of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, she did not even have a single playmate.

The other disciples usually appeared respectful and deferential toward her, but they were actually all afraid of her.

They avoided her whenever they could. Why would they want to get close to her?

Only that Su Li always liked looking at her as if she were an idiot.

That feeling... was rather strange.

"Jerk! I'm your future wife, at least. How dare you dislike me so much!"

Her little face flushed red, and Ning Rongrong decided that she would not go looking for Su Li all day.

She wanted to see what reaction that guy would have!

Knock, knock, knock~

A knock sounded from outside.

Ning Rongrong immediately straightened her back and sat properly.

She smoothed her hair, her little heart beating somewhat faster.

"Go see who it is."

"Yes, Miss."

After the two left.

Ning Rongrong hurriedly pulled a book from the bookshelf. Without even looking at its title, she sat in her chair and opened it partway.

She lowered her head, pretending to read with great concentration.

Very soon.

Footsteps drew closer.

Her heart thumped along with them.

Hmph~

That guy finally couldn't hold back anymore, could he?

I knew it.

We live so close together. How could he not come looking for me?

What excuse should I use to go out with him later?

"Rongrong! Grandpa Bone came to see you!"

"?"

Ning Rongrong looked at Gu Rong's beaming face, and her whole expression instantly fell. She rolled her eyes speechlessly and said with some disappointment.

"Grandpa Bone, why is it you?"

Gu Rong: "???"

What was that supposed to mean?

What did she mean, why was it him?

At this time of day, shouldn't his little princess normally be delighted, bouncing over to grab his arm and asking him to take her out to play?

What was wrong with her today?

Gu Rong suddenly felt as though a piece of his heart had shattered.

"Oh, it's nothing."

Ning Rongrong slumped limply across the table, looking utterly listless.

If she had been in bed right now.

She would have wriggled around for ages.

"Rongrong, did someone bully you?"

"Don't worry! As long as you tell me, Grandpa Bone will definitely teach him a lesson for you!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up. She was about to blurt out Su Li's name, but swallowed the words back down.

"No. I just didn't sleep well last night."

"Oh, right, Grandpa Bone... Su Li is going to absorb a soul ring, isn't he? Can you take me along?"

"Of course, it's not because I want to be with him. I just simply want to go out and have some fun."
