Dugu Yan Declares Her Feelings

Dugu Yan paid no heed to the others' stares as she wrapped herself around Su Li's arm and walked closely beside him.

He glanced sideways at her full breasts.

Mm, they really were prettier than Ning Rongrong's.

"Su Li, Teacher Qin Ming has been having us train at the Soul Fighting Arena lately. Aren't you and Rongrong going?"

Dugu Yan turned her head and looked at him gently.

"Mm... with a Soul Ancestor like you on the team, that's enough. I'm planning to take Rongrong to your final destination first."

"You mean... Suotuo City?"

The girl's eyes shifted as she lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

"That's right."

"But before that, I want to help you cure the poison in your body, Senior Sister."

Su Li looked seriously at Dugu Yan beside him. By now, the girl was already several centimeters shorter than him.

Only in high heels could she look him directly in the eye.

The boy whose head had once been casually patted was gone.

The balance of offense and defense had changed hands.

Dugu Yan pursed her lips. She was not shocked; her eyes were filled with the look of someone who had expected this all along.

Years ago,

she had already learned through those memories that Su Li could cure the poison in her body.

As for how he would cure it,

the images were too blurry for her to understand clearly.

Still,

Dugu Yan put on a shocked expression.

"Li... you're not joking, are you?"

"The poison in my body..."

Su Li gently patted her head and smiled. "Don't worry. If I say I can cure it, then I can..."

"When the time comes, I'll need to ask you for a favor too."

Dugu Yan smiled as her fingers lightly brushed across Su Li's palm, her body leaning much closer to him.

Her warm breath blew against the boy's fair cheek, making the atmosphere considerably more intimate.

"Li, no matter what it is, your big sister can satisfy you~"

"Even if it's..."

Dugu Yan leaned close to Su Li's ear, lightly bit his earring, and whispered a few words.

A moment later,

his face felt a little hot.

A trace of helplessness appeared in his calm eyes as he pressed a hand against Dugu Yan's head. "Sister Yan, stop messing around."

"Who's messing around? Little Brother Li, after all these years, do you still not understand how I feel?"

Unable to hold herself back, Dugu Yan threw her arms around his waist and greedily inhaled the scent of the boy's body.

Her soft, delicate body pressed against him.

Su Li's body stiffened instinctively.

Though Dugu Yan had hugged him and stolen kisses from him countless times over the years,

the restlessness of adolescence

was truly difficult to suppress.

Just feeling her fragrant, soft body and the scent drifting from her hair was enough to make him stir.

"Mmm~ Pervert..."

Dugu Yan lowered her head for a look, a blush immediately blooming across her pretty face.

There was only a little shyness in her heart. She felt far more joy.

It seemed...

Su Li still had feelings for her.

This

was the best proof.

"I know what you're thinking. You're afraid Ning Rongrong will get jealous? Afraid you can't give me a future?"

"Su Li, listen to me!"

"The man I, Dugu Yan, have set my eyes on will never change for the rest of my life!"

As soon as she finished speaking,

the girl's gaze hardened. She wrapped her arms around his neck and sealed the lips that were about to speak.

Su Li closed his eyes and finally understood Dugu Yan's feelings.

This was better.

After several years together, Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan had long since grown accustomed to each other's existence.

No matter what they did, their sensitivity to it had been reduced to the absolute minimum.

Since she had already said so much, what was there left to hesitate over?

Su Li immediately pressed Dugu Yan against the wall. Their lips met, and their breathing grew ragged.

At that moment,

the emotions the girl had bottled up for years could finally be released.

Tears streamed from her eyes.

She felt

incomparably happy.

"Mmm~ Don't squeeze there..."

"It's fine, Sister Yan. There's no one here."

"Alright."

Ten minutes later,

Dugu Yan looked like a lucky girl who had found a treasure. Her eyes sparkled, and even while walking, her gaze never left Su Li. Their fingers were interlocked, and the smile on her lips never faded.

Once they emerged from the secluded alley,

the girl deliberately kissed Su Li's cheek in front of countless students.

She kissed him when they left Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and kissed him while they walked.

Before long, Su Li's face was covered in her saliva.

"Alright, is it really that precious?"

"Of course! Li, I've been craving you for years!"

"With your condition, you should get shocked."

"Bleh bleh bleh~ You have to get a husband from childhood, or what if some other bad girl steals him away?"

Dugu Yan proudly raised her chin, her face full of smug delight.

But when she remembered that Ning Rongrong was still by his side, her gaze dimmed slightly.

"Phew~ Li, your first kiss was mine, right?"

"It was... right?"

Su Li thought about it. Going by the automatic reset every midnight...

No.

Even with a reset, today's first kiss had not been hers.

Forget it. He would just reset it once every hour from now on.

"Yay! I never thought that idiot Ning Rongrong would leave such a tasty piece of meat untouched?"

"Hehe~ She'll have plenty to cry about later!"

Dugu Yan's mood immediately brightened again.

Thinking that she had already touched every part of his body, and even taken his first kiss...

Then the next step...

Dugu Yan's gaze could not help drifting downward, and her pretty face instantly turned red.

No, no!

That would have to wait a little...

If she urgently asked Su Li to do that, would she seem too impatient...

She should wait.

There would be time in the future.

But... if Li was really having a hard time, she could make an exception...

"Ahem! Where are you going next?"

"The Crown Prince's Residence."

"Oh~ Then I'll go with you?"

"No... mm?"

Su Li looked at Dugu Yan's outstretched finger. It was soft and cool...

Pressed against his lips, it carried a faint fragrance.

"Li... His Highness Xue Qinghe has looked for you several times before. I feel like that man's gaze when he looks at you is very wrong..."

"It's like... he's the same as us..."

Dugu Yan narrowed her eyes, her expression extremely serious.

Looking at the boy before her, he was simply far too beautiful.

With just a little makeup and a girl's outfit, he could even be prettier than she was.

If Xue Qinghe truly had that kind of preference,

then Su Li was undoubtedly in the greatest danger.

She would not allow her little husband to be targeted by a man.

She had not even done it herself yet!

How could anyone else get a turn?

"Sister Yan, you're overthinking it."

"I don't care! I'm going anyway... I'm really scared..."

"Alright, alright."

Su Li did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He could not exactly tell her that Xue Qinghe was actually a woman, could he?

Maybe she admired him somewhat, but as for liking him, there had been no major sign of it so far.

After all,

although the two called each other brothers of the opposite sex, they only met three or four times a year.

It was nothing like Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan, who were practically around him every day, nurturing their feelings.

Qian Renxue.

She probably could not like him, right?

"When the time comes, you'll understand once you watch us talk. It's really not what you think."

"Oh, oh. I hope so."
