"I didn't bring any clothes..." Ning Rongrong thought for a moment and quickly remembered that she had an entire wardrobe of clothes she had never worn.

"It's fine. I have a whole wardrobe of clothes I haven't worn yet, so I can give them to you."

"This... wouldn't that be inappropriate...?"

Ning Rongrong smiled faintly. "What's there to be embarrassed about? What's our relationship? There's no need to fuss over such things."

"What? Don't tell me you don't like my clothes?"

Chen Qingling shook her head, her voice filled with gratitude. "No, it's just that I've been troubling you all this time. It doesn't sit right with me."

Strictly speaking, they had only known each other for two days, yet Ning Rongrong was already treating her so well.

Remember those who treated you well, and take revenge on those who treated you badly.

That was Father's teaching for Qingling.

Thinking of this, Chen Qingling's eyes grew slightly moist. "Rongrong..."

Seeing tears well up in Qingling's eyes, Ning Rongrong was badly startled. "Qingling, why are you crying?"

"N-No, it's nothing. I just got sand in my eyes."

"Come on, let's go take a bath."

Ning Rongrong took Chen Qingling by the wrist and skipped happily into the Luxury Villa.

Inside the Thatched Cottage at the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Without his daughter, the Thatched Cottage felt far more deserted, both inside and out.

Chen Shenge sat in a chair with a stalk of Blue Silver Grass hanging from his mouth.

"Pah."

"All alone out here... it's really quiet."

"System, when can I leave?"

Ding! To ensure the host's safety, the host may only leave after cultivating the target, Chen Qingling, into the strongest person on the continent!

Chen Shenge's eyes deepened. "Cultivate my daughter into the strongest on the continent?"

"I suppose it won't be long before I can get out."

With the Check-In System and his daughter's talent, becoming the strongest on the continent would only take a few years.

Chen Shenge had already lived in the Thatched Cottage for over a decade. A few more years made little difference.

Ding! Detected that cultivation target Chen Qingling has no clothes to change into!

Chen Shenge jolted and sprang to his feet. "I almost forgot. The girl left in such a hurry that she didn't bring any spare clothes."

Then, shamelessly, he entered his daughter's bedroom.

This was Chen Shenge's first time entering his daughter's bedroom. It was as plain and unadorned as the Thatched Cottage itself, but the room was filled with all sorts of cute decorations.

"Who would've thought that mischievous girl had this side to her too?"

Chen Shenge clicked his tongue and shook his head with a smile, rummaging through the wardrobe until he found several sets of clothes.

He had originally wanted to use the System's convenience to send them straight to his daughter, but after giving it some thought, he selected a few more precious outfits instead.

He remembered that Chen Qingling had left with Chen Xin and the others, so she had most likely returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Once she reached the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she absolutely couldn't dress too plainly.

Looking at the two carefully selected outfits, Chen Shenge sent them to his daughter with satisfaction, hoping to give her a little surprise.

At Chen Qingling's villa in the center of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Rongrong took Chen Qingling's hand and led her into a bathroom as large as half a basketball court, stocked with every kind of amenity.

Chen Qingling stood frozen as she looked at the enormous bathroom.

Ning Rongrong skillfully turned the faucet, filling the bath with warm water.

"Qingling, the water's ready. Let's soak together."

"Ah... okay."

Just then, Chen Qingling suddenly felt as though there was something in her pocket.

Remembering the two times Father had secretly sent her gifts, she immediately took it out.

Two outfits that meant a great deal to Chen Qingling emerged from the tiny pocket.

Ning Rongrong's eyelid twitched. Even though she knew Chen Qingling's Father was capable, she was still stunned when she saw it again.

"Wow, can your Father see the future?"

"Even though he isn't here, he knows exactly what you lack and sends it to you."

"That's so nice. I really want a Father like that too." Ning Rongrong's face was full of envy.

Ning Fengzhi: Should I leave, then?

Chen Qingling pouted. "No! Father belongs to me alone!"

Then her eyes rolled as she came up with a brilliant idea. "Well, it's not impossible... You could acknowledge my Father as your godfather and become his goddaughter."

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, and for a moment, she forgot to respond.

If this had been before, she would have refused without even thinking about it.

What was her status?

She was the princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a Night-Luminescent Pearl cherished in everyone's palms. How could she casually acknowledge someone as her godfather?

But if that godfather was Chen Qingling's Father, Ning Rongrong would agree without even needing to think about it!

Who wouldn't want someone who cared for them in every detail and sent them whatever they lacked?

Ning Rongrong took a deep breath and pressed her lips together. "Qingling... can I really?"

"Would your Father not want me...?"

Chen Qingling beamed. "Who knows? That's something for the future. My Father is a Reclusive Expert, and he never goes out."

"It won't be easy to meet my Father. You'd have to go deep into the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Ah?!"

"That's true..." Ning Rongrong lowered her head, her gaze dimming.

Even if she could meet him, it didn't mean he would be willing to take her as his goddaughter.

Besides, those were matters for the future and not something she needed to worry about now. She should cherish the present.

She should treasure the hard-won friend before her.

This was Ning Rongrong's first friend her own age whom she could truly confide in, and Qingling's first confidant as well.

"Qingling, are you ready?"

"Ready for what?"

Before her words had even faded, Ning Rongrong had already undressed and entered the bath, waving Qingling over.

"I-I'm coming."

Chen Qingling followed Ning Rongrong's example, undressed, and stepped into the bath.

Splash.

The warm water soaked against her skin, and Chen Qingling closed her eyes in enjoyment.

"This feels so good."

"Hehehe, do you like soaking in baths?"

"I do."

"Then that's good. We girls need to learn how to take care of our skin."

"Bathing isn't just comfortable. It also moisturizes your skin, so it has all kinds of benefits."

"Rongrong, you know so much."

"Of course." Ning Rongrong proudly lifted her chin. "You still have a lot to learn."

Then, while Chen Qingling wasn't paying attention, Ning Rongrong splashed water at her.

"Hey, Rongrong, what are you doing?"

Chen Qingling splashed back in retaliation.

The two delicate-looking girls soaked in the bath, happily splashing and playing around.

After fooling around for quite a while, they leaned against each other. Chen Qingling's peripheral vision inadvertently fell on Ning Rongrong's chest.

"Wow, Rongrong... you..."

"They're so big."

Her words pierced through Ning Rongrong's thin skin, leaving her deeply embarrassed.

"Qingling... you... you're awful!"

Chen Qingling looked at her own perfectly flat chest, pouting as her mood sank.

They were clearly six years apart, so why was the difference so huge?

Perhaps noticing Qingling's dejection, Ning Rongrong changed the subject, her voice softening.

"Qingling, don't be discouraged. Before long, you'll grow up just like me."

"Really?"

Chen Qingling's eyes lit up as she cried out.

She was afraid she would stay flat forever. No matter what, she needed a little height.
