First Encounter with Qian Renxue-Something Was Off About Her

Afterward.

Gu Rong suddenly realized that he felt a little redundant.

Back then, Rongrong would always cling affectionately to his arm and call him "Grandpa Bone" over and over.

But now?

Her eyes practically wanted to grow onto Su Li.

He did not understand.

Other than being a little more handsome, having slightly better bearing, and being a little more gifted, how was that brat better than him?

Sigh.

Once she had someone she liked, she forgot all about her grandfather.

"Su Li, why are you such a silent lump?"

"Can't you say something?!"

"You could at least tell me I'm pretty!"

Su Li pursed his lips. Looking at her puffed-up cheeks, he helplessly gave her a couple of compliments.

"The Young Sect Master is the prettiest. You're the prettiest girl in the whole world."

"Ew~ That's so cheesy."

The girl's eartips reddened, though her face still wore an expression of disdain.

She turned her head away, and only Gu Rong could see it.

The faintly upturned corners of her lips.

Gu Rong: "What can I say?"

He might as well hide in the shadows and let the two of them go shopping by themselves!

At that thought.

Gu Rong took a deep breath and decided to struggle one last time.

"Rongrong, how about I go take a walk somewhere else?"

"You and Su Li can shop first?"

Ning Rongrong froze for a moment, then her eyes burst with dazzling light, sparkling like stars.

"Cough, cough, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

Out of the corner of her eye, the girl glanced at Su Li, her heart pounding fast.

A visible trace of nervousness appeared on her fair, tender face.

Gu Rong let out a breath of relief.

It seemed he still held a place in her heart.

Mm...

That was what he thought.

How many days had those two even known each other?

How could that compare to the six years he had spent with her?

"Since Rongrong..."

Before he could finish, she immediately cut him off.

"Well! Grandpa Bone has things to do, so Su Li and I won't disturb you!"

As soon as she finished speaking.

Ning Rongrong grabbed Su Li by the arm and ran forward a few steps.

"Bye, Grandpa Bone! Come find us when you're done!"

Crack~

Gu Rong stood where he was, feeling as though he was about to turn to stone.

In his mind.

Some fitting music seemed to start playing.

"NO!!!"

With Grandpa Bone out of the way, Ning Rongrong finally felt that she could let loose.

She looked proudly at Su Li beside her, thinking that although this guy was a bit dull, he was still quite good-looking.

Hehe~

Now that she thought about it, marrying him in the future...

Would not be such a bad deal.

"Stupid Su Li, you'll carry my things today~"

"If I tell you to go east, you absolutely can't go west!"

"Understand?"

A moment later.

Seeing that he could not even be bothered to make a sound, Ning Rongrong got so angry that she kicked him in the butt with her little foot.

"I'm talking to you!"

Su Li withdrew his gaze and nodded helplessly. "Fine, fine, I'll listen to you."

What a sin.

Going out with an idiot child like this was simply a waste of time and life.

If they were merely playing games, it would be fine. He actually found that fairly enjoyable.

But in reality.

It was truly boring.

She was too little. He had no interest at all.

It would be better if she grew up a little.

"Hmph~"

"It'd better be!"

Ning Rongrong tossed her silky hair, placed her little hands on her waist, and strode down the middle of the road as if the entire street belonged to her.

Quite a few vendors who knew the girl immediately lowered their heads, terrified of meeting her eyes and having her wreak havoc on their wares.

"Hiss~ The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Little Witch came down the mountain again?"

"Isn't that so? She's the only one who dares walk around so arrogantly."

"Shh~ Keep it down. If that Little Witch hears you, do you believe she'll buy this whole street and make sure you can never sell anything here again?"

Su Li: "..."

Was it too late for him to stay farther away from this girl?

It should be...

Still in time, right?

Half an hour later.

Su Li carried quite a few things in both hands. He had originally planned to put them into his Storage Soul Tool, but the Little Witch refused to allow it no matter what.

She kept insisting.

That was the only way to show how rich and imposing she was.

Honestly.

Who on this street did not know that she was the Young Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

The fact that even ordinary people knew it.

Was enough to prove that this girl probably came here often to show off.

If someone bumped into her.

She would probably say, "How dare you bump into me on my own street?!"

Do not laugh.

If she got angry, she really would buy it.

"Stupid Su Li, are you hungry?"

"Not really."

"Tch... Hungry means hungry. What does 'not really' even mean?"

Ning Rongrong pouted. Looking at the expressionless boy before her, she felt strangely irritated.

It was like...

He treated her like a child?

Did he think she was too immature?

How ridiculous.

They were clearly about the same age, so why was he acting so deep and mature?

Little did she know.

Though Su Li only had the body of a six-year-old, he possessed the soul of a twenty-year-old.

If he did not treat her like a child, was he supposed to treat her like an adult?

"I'm telling you, no girl will like you in the future if you keep acting like this."

"Unlike me, I... Ow! Who was that?! Can't you watch where you're going?!"

Ning Rongrong clutched her head and glared with puffed cheeks and wide eyes. Just as she was about to curse, she instantly fell silent.

Then.

She spoke in a gloomy tone.

"So it's Your Highness Xue Qinghe."

"If you bump into a little girl, you should apologize, understand?!"

The handsome young man smiled, opened the fan in his hand, and said, "All right, I apologize to little sister Rongrong."

"I was distracted just now and did not see you clearly."

Xue Qinghe was not lying.

The moment she saw Su Li, her entire heart had been seized, and she had directly ignored everyone else.

Not to mention.

Ning Rongrong, who was only around one meter and twenty centimeters tall.

She was so tiny that Xue Qinghe truly had not seen her.

"Fine, I accept your apology."

Ning Rongrong adjusted her hair, feeling somewhat troubled.

It had taken her maid a long time to arrange it.

Yet that idiot Su Li had only looked at it once and did not even know how to compliment her!

Hmph~

How was someone so dull supposed to become her future husband?

Seeing Xue Qinghe look at him, Su Li's heart stirred. He clasped his fists calmly and neither humbly nor arrogantly. "Greetings, Your Highness."

He had not expected to run into Qian Renxue here. What a coincidence.

Then again, this was Heaven Dou City.

Still.

What was with the way this woman was looking at him?

It was a little creepy.

Ning Rongrong's expression turned somewhat strange.

She looked at Su Li, then at Xue Qinghe.

In an instant, she covered her mouth.

Damn!

Could it be that the eldest prince liked men?!

No!

Su Li was hers. She absolutely could not let this person covet him!

"Cough, cough... I suddenly find this little brother exceptionally handsome, and his bearing is extraordinary. You must be Su Li, who awakened his martial soul yesterday and possesses Innate Full Soul Power, correct?"

"Not bad, not bad. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has produced a genius indeed."

Xue Qinghe said with a gentle smile.

She folded her fan, looking refined and graceful.

Walking up to Su Li, she subconsciously reached out and gently patted his head.

A moment later.

Qian Renxue's heart beat somewhat faster, and the tips of her ears unconsciously reddened.

Mm...

Patting her future husband's head really did feel nice...
