Seven treasures turn into glazed tiles: first, strength; second, speed!

[By the time you realized something was wrong, it was too late. Ning Rongrong hooked both hands around your neck and pressed her rosy lips to yours. You had always been the one to make the first move. Who knew she could be so fierce when she took the lead? Gradually, the reason in her beautiful eyes faded, desire deepened, and her breathing grew quicker.]

[As your hand slipped beneath her underclothes, Ning Rongrong's wavering self-control collapsed. She half resisted, half welcomed you, and you pressed your advantage. Even though the coughing outside the door had grown deafening, neither of you paid it any heed.]

[That night, both you and Ning Rongrong grew up.]

After leaving the first-person perspective, Gao Yang let out a long breath.

His eyes were clear, free of all worldly desire.

Verdict: she was beautiful.

He got up, went to the bathroom, and lay straight down in the tub without even bothering to take off his clothes.

The first-person perspective had been so lifelike that, even after leaving it, he was drenched in sweat.

Once the cold water covered him and the heat in his body subsided, Gao Yang resumed the Simulation while soaking in the tub.

[Afterward, Ning Rongrong gradually regained her composure. She looked at the disarray around her, her mind going utterly blank. She curled up in a corner with her arms around her knees, neither crying nor making a fuss. Only after you held and comforted her for quite some time did she come around and sink her teeth into your arm. She did not bite hard. You could not tell whether she was venting her anger or being affectionate.]

[It seemed every man unlocked a talent for sweet talk after going through this. At any rate, your stream of compliments finally calmed her down. But her tears kept falling. She probably still could not accept that she had lost her first time in such a muddle.]

[After a long while, Ning Rongrong gradually came to terms with it. Gao Yang loved her, and she had feelings for him too. They had been growing closer; even without the Whale Rubber today, they would have taken this step sooner or later. Though she felt deeply sorry toward Oscar, Ning Rongrong still whispered in your ear, "Brother Gao Yang, I don't regret it."]

[At those words, you finally knew you had won over the proud little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! You got out of bed. Ning Rongrong thought you were leaving, but instead you fetched two hair ties from her dressing table. As she watched in confusion, you tied her hair into twin ponytails, then whispered something else in her ear.]

[At those words, Ning Rongrong flushed with embarrassment. She shot you a look, but obediently lay on her stomach. Then, as her mind went blank, she summoned her Martial Soul.]

["Ah... seven treasures turn into glazed tiles. First... mm... strength. Second: Speed!"]

[...]

[The next day, Ning Rongrong slowly opened her eyes in your arms. The first thing she did was bite you hard and warn you that if you put her through that again, she would make you a eunuch! Once you promised, she lounged in your embrace until the sun was high in the sky. Only then did the two of you reluctantly leave the bed and get dressed.]

[Before leaving her room, she insisted again and again that neither of you was to mention yesterday's recklessness, let anyone find out about it, or ever do it again!]

[But you both knew that once a line had been crossed, it could be crossed again. That was true of holding hands, true of kissing, and, ahem, true of that too!]

[And once two people had been intimate, their love for each other would seep out of them even with their eyes closed. They might fool everyone else, but they could not fool themselves.]

[Still, you agreed. You knew it was only Ning Rongrong's modesty as a newly intimate woman. You were confident that, as time deepened her feelings, it would not be long before she came looking for you herself. After all, last night you had felt just how very, very, very, very, very much she liked you!]

[When you saw Ning Fengzhi that day, the sect leader who had always been so approachable had Bone Dragon Douluo attack you on sight. Realizing Ning Fengzhi was merely taking out his anger on you, you breathed a sigh of relief. Even so, Bone Dragon Douluo beat you half to death. If Ning Fengzhi had not approved of you since you were young, he might have activated his Martial Soul Avatar then and there to strengthen Bone Dragon Douluo!]

[Only when Sword Douluo stepped forward to plead for you did Bone Dragon Douluo reluctantly stop. Once Ning Fengzhi had vented his anger, he fully accepted you as his future son-in-law. Your word within the sect even carried more weight than that of many elders, though none of that mattered much.]

[But from that day on, Ning Fengzhi unilaterally declared that Ning Rongrong would enter seclusion. It was three months before you saw her again.]

[When you next saw Ning Rongrong, you immediately noticed how much her bearing had changed. She was gentle and gracious, virtuous and wise. She still had the face of a young girl, yet she carried herself like a young married woman. The charm in her eyes, especially, tugged at your heart with every frown and smile.]

[The moment Ning Rongrong saw you, her eyes reddened too. You embraced each other tightly. If Ning Fengzhi had not been standing nearby, you might have...]

[After pouring out your hearts to each other, you prepared to...]

[1. Sneak into the city, find a hotel, and heh heh heh...]

[2. Sneak up the mountain, find a waterfall, and heh heh heh...]

[3. Tell Ning Rongrong that Oscar was badly injured during a mission and was currently recovering in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Medical Hall.]

Aaaah!

Gao Yang rose from the bathtub. His body, which had only just cooled down, instantly grew hot again!

No... I can't...

Oscar was his fellow disciple, a dear friend, a brother in all but blood!

How could I...

But by now, he had completely grasped the system's wicked sense of humor. He knew which answer was right without even thinking.

Sorry. I just want to pick the right option!

The apology was the last scrap of decency he had left. Then he chose 3!

[When Ning Rongrong heard that Oscar was hurt, a trace of concern crossed her face. But the next moment, she explained that she was only concerned for him as a fellow student. After all, they had both graduated from Shrek Academy. She watched you cautiously, like a frightened kitten, afraid you would be angry. Reassured, you took her hand and told her that if it bothered you, you would not have told her.]

[Only then did Ning Rongrong relax. You took her to see Oscar, and she privately made up her mind to lay everything out today. Dragging it out would be bad for all three of them. Since she had chosen Brother Gao Yang, she should not remain entangled with any other man.]

[But Oscar's injuries were far worse than Ning Rongrong had imagined. He lay limp in bed. His life was not in danger, but he could barely move, and his ears seemed to be injured too. No matter how much Ning Rongrong said, he kept asking her to speak louder. Seeing him like that, Ning Rongrong lost all the courage she had mustered. Forget it. I'll tell him once he's recovered. Softhearted Ning Rongrong spent the whole afternoon caring for Oscar alongside Gao Yang.]

[As evening fell, Oscar told you both to go back. A sect servant would come to look after him soon. Ning Rongrong muttered that she and Gao Yang would leave once the servant arrived. Seeing how tired she looked, Oscar thoughtfully mentioned that the room next door was empty and that she could lie down there for a while if she wanted. Ning Rongrong complained that he should have said so sooner: after sitting on a wooden stool all afternoon, her back was about to break. With that, she went next door to rest.]

[You chatted with Oscar a little longer, then excused yourself to answer nature's call and left the room.]

[Then you entered the room where Ning Rongrong was resting...]
