No... Su Li Was Still Too Young. She Couldn't Think That Way

Su Li came out.

He fussed with his hair, feeling rather speechless.

If it had been anyone else,

they probably would have misunderstood and thought Xue Qinghe had some strange fetish.

Being so intimate with another man.

But Su Li understood that beneath that disguise was a girl in the prime of her youth.

"Tch, you finally came out?"

Ning Rongrong pursed her lips, planted her hands on her hips, and circled around him as though confirming something.

Ten seconds later.

The girl let out a sigh of relief and asked doubtfully, "The Eldest Prince didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Su Li gave a wry smile and helplessly looked at her. He raised a hand and tapped her forehead as she leaned closer. "He's a man. What could he possibly do to me?"

"Don't overthink it."

"We just became sworn brothers, that's all."

Ning Rongrong's pretty face flushed. She hurriedly stepped back several paces and bashfully turned her head aside. "W-Who's overthinking things?!"

"Let's go, let's go! I don't want to look around anymore!"

The moment she turned around.

The corners of Ning Rongrong's lips unconsciously curved up. She lowered her head, and even her ears and neck had turned red.

This was the first time Su Li had taken the initiative to touch her. That feeling... was simply too wonderful!

It felt as if her soul were trembling, as though an uncontrollable impulse were eating away at her mind.

Phew~

Calm down, calm down!

How could some insignificant nobody make her lose her composure like this?

She was the Young Sect Mistress of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!

How could she be so pathetic?

"Young Sect Mistress, your face is so red."

"Do you have a fever?"

Su Li's voice suddenly came from behind her. Ning Rongrong was so startled that a strand of hair on top of her head stood straight up.

"I... I'm just too hot!"

"Idiot, stay away from me! I'm dying of heat!"

"Hmph~ You reek of that Xue Qinghe. When we get back to the sect, make sure you wash yourself properly. It smells awful!"

A giant question mark flashed through Su Li's mind.

Wasn't that a little too subtle?

Watching Ning Rongrong's shy little steps, an absurd thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Could this little devil actually like me?!

Right after that.

Su Li shook his head.

She was still so young. At most, it was just possessiveness toward a playmate.

At such a young age, how could she understand such things?

Although people in this world did mature early, she probably would not have thoughts like that until a few years later, right?

Sigh...

Lolis were illegal. He absolutely could not stray down the wrong path!

At this moment.

Gu Rong watched them with a complicated expression from the sky. He suddenly felt as though something important in his heart was about to leave him.

However.

When he thought of how Su Li was still technically his disciple, he suddenly felt much more comforted.

Mm...

Good things should not go to outsiders.

He approved of this marriage!

Xue Qinghe returned to her palace. After confirming that nothing was amiss, she slowly removed her disguise.

Gradually.

The face of a youthful, beautiful girl appeared in the mirror.

Her dazzling golden hair fell to her waist like a waterfall of burning sunlight. Her cool ice-blue eyes were sharp and radiant, her brows cleanly arched, and her red lips vivid and alluring.

A moment later.

The girl seemed to think of something.

Her sharp gaze gradually softened. Compared to her previous aloofness, it now carried a trace of shyness and longing.

Her name was Qian Renxue, the little princess of Spirit Hall.

She had infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire at the age of nine.

Now, six years had passed.

The ignorant little girl she once was had become a deeply calculating young woman.

She had given up too much.

Whenever night fell, she could not help missing home.

She wondered whether what she was doing was truly worth it.

Now.

Su Li's appearance had added a splash of color to her monotonous world.

Whenever she thought of that young man's face and temperament,

Qian Renxue could not help closing her eyes and pressing her lips together.

Would her future life truly be as beautiful as it was in her memories?

"Su Li... my husband."

"You need to grow up quickly~"

"Your big sister is waiting for you."

Gradually.

Qian Renxue's pretty face reddened. She stood up, preparing to bathe.

She intended to calm herself down and stop her mind from running wild.

Su Li was still too young. She could not think that way!

"Achoo!"

After returning to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Su Li suddenly felt a chill at the back of his neck.

Hm?

Was it just his imagination?

He looked toward a distant hill, where a girl in a long green dress sat with her chin propped in both hands, her gaze seemingly drifting toward him.

When he looked over, she hurriedly withdrew her gaze and pretended nothing had happened.

Young Miss Rongrong, your acting was so terrible it rivaled some actors from his previous life.

Su Li withdrew his gaze and continued practicing his sword.

Ignoring a certain girl who was secretly staring at him.

Not long after.

Ning Rongrong finally dared to look at Su Li in the distance again. She pouted and softly snorted. "This guy is so boring. What's so great about cultivating?"

"He might as well keep me company, talk to me, and tell me stories..."

The girl rolled over and sprawled out in a starfish position.

She boredly stared at the stars overhead.

Before she knew it, she had fallen fast asleep.

In her dream.

She saw memories of the future again.

Every little moment she had spent with Su Li, ordinary yet happy.

Without realizing it.

Drool slipped from the corner of her mouth as she murmured.

"Su Li... hug me..."

"Don't go. You're not allowed to like other girls!"

Su Li: "This little wild girl has gone crazy."

He had just finished cultivating and was about to return to his room to meditate.

Then, with a casual glance, he saw Ning Rongrong still lying there.

Since he had seen her, he naturally could not leave her sleeping on the grass.

But the moment he came over, he heard her talking in her sleep.

A moment later.

Ning Rongrong, who had been smiling foolishly just moments ago, suddenly furrowed her brows. With her little mouth pouting, she demanded, "Who is she?!"

Su Li was startled. This girl could even dream about other girls?

He simply sat beside her and listened to her sleep-talking.

Moonlight spilled over the girl's face. Her snow-white skin was tender, clear, and luminous.

Her chubby little cheeks and pouted lips made her seem rather cute for a moment.

He could not help wanting to pinch them a few times.

"Go away! I won't listen to your explanation!"

Amazing.

Did I get involved with another girl and get caught?

What a joke.

This dream was way too fake.

Even if he were going to do something like that, there was no way he would let her find out.

After all.

He was someone who had cleared the whole thing with a wooden stick!

Su Li propped his chin on one hand. Seeing that Ning Rongrong still seemed immersed in her dream, he decided to wake her first.

She should not actually catch a cold.

A moment later.

He reached out and pinched her soft little cheek.

It felt great.

Tender and smooth, like a boiled egg.

"Mm?"

Ning Rongrong frowned and hazily opened her eyes.

When she saw the person before her clearly, she froze instinctively.

Wasn't she angry with Su Li?

Then...

"Ah!"

Ning Rongrong instantly realized that she had been dreaming!

And now Su Li was beside her.

Did that mean...

He had heard everything she said?!

In an instant.

Ning Rongrong's cheeks rapidly reddened, the blush spreading to her ears and neck with lightning speed. Her whole body looked pink and delicate, like a porcelain doll.

"Um... you didn't hear anything, right?"

"Me?" Su Li smiled and looked up at the sky. "I probably... didn't hear anything?"

"!!!"
