Xiao Wu Made It Official! Lin Xuan Won the Beauties' Hearts
Xiao Wu chimed in from the side, hands on her hips, her tone full of gleeful anticipation:
"That's right, Zhuqing, we all know what you're thinking. You're usually the quietest, but you can't let us down at crucial moments!"
Zhu Zhuqing was cornered in front of the artificial hill by her two best friends, unable to move forward or backward.
Lin Xuan strode towards her and stopped in front of her.
Zhu Zhuqing was a bit taller than Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, but she still had to tilt her head slightly when standing in front of Lin Xuan.
Her cool and aloof face was exceptionally beautiful in the moonlight. Zhu Zhuqing pursed her thin lips, not looking away, but her chest heaved even faster.
Lin Xuan looked at Zhu Zhuqing, knowing he needed to give her a push, and spoke softly.
"Zhuqing."
Zhu Zhuqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her fingers, which had been hanging at her sides, slowly unfolded.
She didn't pounce on him like Xiao Wu did, nor did she utter any harsh words like Ning Rongrong did.
She simply walked forward quietly, raised her long, slender, fair arms, wrapped them around Lin Xuan's waist, and gently pressed her flushed cheeks against the crook of Lin Xuan's neck.
Then, she turned her head and pressed her soft lips to Lin Xuan's cheek, pausing for a few breaths before slowly sliding them down to the corner of Lin Xuan's mouth.
Lin Xuan raised his arm and pulled her into his embrace, his palm resting on her supple back wrapped in leather, feeling her rapid heartbeat.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's clear and cold voice slowly rang in Lin Xuan's ears.
"Lin Xuan, I will definitely break through to level 44 before going to Spirit City."
"I won't just hide behind you and let you shoulder the burden alone."
Lin Xuan smiled upon hearing this and nuzzled his chin against the top of her head:
"Alright, then I'll be waiting for you to stand shoulder to shoulder with me and take them down."
The atmosphere in the courtyard became warm and peaceful.
Xiao Wu stepped forward, grabbed Lin Xuan's left arm, and leaned against him.
Ning Rongrong, not to be outdone, blushed and walked over, taking Lin Xuan's right arm and giving him a sidelong glance.
"Having three beauties like us is such a bargain for you, you womanizing bastard! If you ever dare to treat us badly again, I'll go back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School and have Grandpa Sword break your legs!"
Lin Xuan, with Zhu Zhuqing nestled in his Embracing Both Left and Right, sighed helplessly.
"Miss Ning, if I get killed by Sword Douluo, who will lead you to win the Continental Elite Tournament?"
Ning Rongrong chuckled, and Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing also smiled.
The four of them fooled around by the artificial hill for a while, but as the night deepened and the dew became heavy, the girls gradually became sleepy.
"Alright, we have to go to the Great Soul Arena to fight Skywater Academy tomorrow, so everyone should go back to their rooms and rest early."
Lin Xuan patted Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's heads and released his arms from around Zhu Zhuqing.
Ning Rongrong stuck her tongue out at him, then pulled Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu along, turning back every few steps as they walked towards the girls' dormitory building.
The courtyard only fell silent again after three slender figures disappeared through the doorway.
Lin Xuan turned around, looked at the tightly closed door on the east side, walked over in annoyance, and kicked the door.
"Little San, you've been peeking through the crack in the door for ages, doesn't your neck hurt? Come out, wash up, and go to bed."
With a creak.
The door cracked open, and Tang San coughed as he poked half his head out, clutching an unfinished iron component in his hand.
"Cough cough cough! Vice Sect Master, I really was focused on assembling the Godly Zhuge Crossbow just now."
"I'd be a fool to believe you."
Lin Xuan glared at him, then turned and went back to his room.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing did not return to their own rooms, but instead went back to Xiao Wu Xiao Wu's room with her.
The three of them sat side by side on the edge of the bed, listening to each other's soft breathing.
Xiao Wu reached out and grabbed Ning Rongrong's right hand, and in doing so, also took Zhu Zhuqing's slightly cool fingers and held them in her palm.
Xiao Wu's voice was soft.
"Rongrong, Zhuqing."
"Actually, I've known for a long time that someone as outstanding as Lin Xuan can't possibly have only me by his side."
"As long as he has me in his heart, and as long as we can all be together happily, I'm content."
Ning Rongrong rested her head on Xiao Wu's shoulder and gently scratched the back of Xiao Wu's hand with her fingers.
"That big radish got a good deal."
"But Xiao Wu, we need to form an alliance from now on. We can't let him get too arrogant, or he'll become incredibly cocky."
Zhu Zhuqing did not pull her hand away, letting Xiao Wu hold it.
Her heartbeat gradually returned to normal.
Burdened by the heavy shackles of the marriage alliance Star Luo Imperial Family and the Zhu Family family, she lived in constant fear and relentless pursuit.
But when Lin Xuan said he would take this burden for her, the frost in her heart melted away completely.
The three of them sat close together, saying nothing more.
Once the thin veil separating their hearts was completely torn away, the previously subtle and awkward atmosphere vanished, leaving only complete honesty and intimacy.
The following morning.
On the bluestone atop the Back Hill, Lin Xuan and Tang San sat cross-legged, facing the first wisp of purple aura rising in the east, and fully circulated their Mysterious Heaven Skill.
A fleeting, pale purple brilliance flashed in their eyes.
As the morning light fully illuminated the earth, the two simultaneously exhaled a breath of stale air, finished their practice, and stood up.
Tang San patted the dew off his robes, his expression slightly strange, and touched the bridge of his nose.
"Lin Xuan, about what happened last night... I really didn't mean to."
Lin Xuan patted Tang San on the shoulder, smiled, and shook his head.
"Alright, stop explaining."
"Actually, I understand you mean well, and you're just trying to sound me out for them."
"Given what's happened these past few days, I really should give the three of them a clear answer; dragging it out is not good."
Seeing that Lin Xuan showed no sign of blaming him, Tang San breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute.
"Now that we've brought this up, I formally congratulate the Vice Sect Master on winning the hearts of three beauties!"
Lin Xuan frowned and asked,
What's the point of just offering verbal congratulations? Aren't you planning to give a monetary gift or something substantial?
Tang San burst into laughter.
You'll definitely get your share of the gift money!
"On your wedding day, I will personally forge the most powerful Hidden Weapon as a super gift from the Tang Sect to the Vice Sect Master!"
Lin Xuan waved his hand and laughed along.
"Come on, marriage is still a long way off."
"Alright, it's almost time. Everyone gather around; it's time to head to the Great Soul Arena for the final Qualifying Tournament."
Before long, the members of the Blue Tyrant Team gathered in the courtyard Back Hill on time.
The teacher leading the group, Ye Mengyao, wore an elegant light blue dress with a light veil over it, her figure Qing Ya and gentle.
She stood at the front of the line counting heads, her expression as serene as ever.
However, when Lin Xuan stepped down from the steps, the previously quiet queue instantly erupted into a commotion.
Ning Rongrong specially changed into a pleated skirt today, her long hair flowing, making her look playful and lively.
She stepped forward, gently took Lin Xuan's left arm, and leaned half of her body against Lin Xuan.
On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing walked straight to Lin Xuan 'Lin Xuan right side, walking closely beside him, her hair almost touching Lin Xuan shoulder, practically hugging Lin Xuan right arm.
Xiao Wu followed beside her, her hands behind her back, bouncing and skipping.
Seeing this, Tai Long, who was eating a meat bun, almost choked to death.
Jiangzhu was at the back of the line, could no longer contain her gossip.
She quickly moved closer to Xiao Wu, quietly tugged at Xiao Wu's sleeve, and whispered:
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with Rongrong and Zhuqing?"
"Why are they both clinging to Lin Xuan so early in the morning?"
Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu are usually close, so everyone assumes they are a couple.
But Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's actions today were far too blatant!
Xiao Wu turned her head, showing no sign of anger or jealousy whatsoever. Instead, she raised her chin and announced with a grin:
What's so strange about that?
"From today onwards, Rongrong and Zhuqing are both Lin Xuan's girlfriends!"
He didn't deliberately lower his voice when he spoke.
The entire courtyard fell silent.
The half-eaten bun in Tai Long's mouth rolled directly onto the ground.
"Holy crap..."
Huang Yuan blurted out two words, then froze on the spot.
Jing Ling's eyes widened, her face stiff as a board.
Ye Mengyao, the teacher in charge of the group, stumbled and almost missed a step.
She turned around, looking at Lin Xuan who remained calm, then at Ning Rongrong, whose face was flushed but who was clinging tightly to Lin Xuan's arm, and at Zhu Zhuqing looked composed.
Even Ye Mengyao, a Soul Sage with extensive experience, was momentarily stunned and couldn't quite grasp the situation.
The apple of the eye of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
The genius of the Zhu Family in the Star Luo Empire!
And there's also Xiao Wu, whose strength is equally terrifying!
These three girls, each with exceptional looks, talent, and family background, actually... actually all became Lin Xuan's girlfriends?
What's even more outrageous is that the three of them don't seem to have any jealousy or rivalry at all; on the contrary, they get along extremely well and even protect each other!
Tai Long swallowed hard, sidled up to Tang San, and muttered in a low voice, his face full of shock:
"Reserve Team, I only knew that the Captain was good at fighting and incredibly skilled with Talismans."
"I never imagined that the captain's methods for pursuing girls were a million times more powerful than his Talismans!"
"That's Sect Master Ning's precious daughter. Captain, aren't you really afraid that the Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will come knocking on your door with his sword?"
Tang San raised his hand and touched his nose, then patted Tai Long's shoulder with some sympathy.
"Stop talking nonsense and get going. You can't have this kind of life."
Hearing Tai Long's mutterings, Ning Rongrong turned to him and Tai Long,
"Tai Long, if you dare to talk badly about us behind our backs again, believe me, I won't give you a support aura when you get on stage today, and I'll make you go head-to-head with the Skywater Academy's Ice Phoenix!"
Tai Long shrank back in fright and quickly waved his hands, begging for mercy.
"No, no, no, Captain's wife, spare me! I'll shut up, I'll shut up right now!"
The title "Captain's Wife" made Ning Rongrong overjoyed. Although her ears turned red, she couldn't hide her smile and hugged Lin Xuan's arm even tighter.
Lin Xuan felt the soft touch on his arm, glanced at Ning Rongrong, and then at the quiet Zhu Zhuqing beside him, feeling a sense of relief.
The group of ten left the academy and headed straight for the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.
Many passersby and Soul Master along the way couldn't help but glance at them.
It wasn't just because of the Blue Tyrant Team's uniform and neat blue and white team uniforms, but also because of the three stunningly beautiful girls surrounding Lin Xuan.
The team passed through a designated passage and arrived at the waiting area.
