A Kitten Beneath the Moon
Ning Rongrong turned her head and looked at Ye Fan.
Hmm, he's still the one I find more pleasing to the eye.
At least he's not like Dai Mubai, who always thinks about those kinds of things in broad daylight.
It had quite a shock to them last time.
This time, it made an even stronger impression.
Hearing the sounds coming from inside the house, Ye Fan felt inexplicably excited.
"Dai Mubai, Dai Mubai, although I did intend to steal someone else's girlfriend, you were the one who provided the perfect assist..."
If I could find an opportunity to give Zhu Zhuqing a push, and let her know about my unrealistic future... hehe.
He believed that was about right.
Xiao Wu suddenly appeared next to Ye Fan.
What are you muttering about?
Ye Fan casually remarked, "I was just wondering... was he lonely because he was injured, or was he trying to escape something?"
Hearing that Ye Fan was still making excuses for Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips, her face full of disdain.
"Hmph, why think about him? Isn't the reason he's like this because he's a lecherous womanizer at heart?"
"Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, you two need to be careful too, lest that guy targets you."
Ning Rongrong waved her hand with a smile, "Relax, relax, Xiao Wu, there's no way I'd be interested in a man like that, Zhu Zhuqing would definitely feel the same way, right?"
His man can't be like this guy.
It has a lot of shortcomings and lacks ability.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fists even tighter, but still nodded with difficulty.
She really didn't think much of Dai Mubai.
But whether she likes it or not... is completely unimportant.
The important thing is that their fates are intertwined.
The more Dai Mubai this way, the more desperate she became.
The more things are like this... the more they want to know from Ye Fan how to break free from the shackles of fate.
After throwing Tang San onto the bed, Ma Hongjun hurriedly ran out as well.
Even with a comatose man and a group of old men, he still knows which side is more important.
The girls' dormitory is on the other side, which is quite far away.
When the group arrived at the girls' dormitory, there was only a large building that was similar in size to the boys' dormitory.
However, the interior was divided into two rooms.
In the end, Ning Rongrong suggested that they move a bed over so that the three girls, Zhu Zhuqing and the others, could sleep together, and Ye Fan could sleep in the next room.
This way, there's no need to worry about Ye Fan having nowhere to stay.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing readily agreed.
It's weird to squeeze anyone out to live alone; it's better to live together!
The three girls, who had never lived with other girls before, immediately agreed to let Ye Fan stay there.
Anyway, it's unlikely that anyone else will come.
Since there were people in the dormitory, Ma Hongjun happily went to Suotuo City to steal chickens despite Ye Fan's refusal.
Ye Fan doesn't go, the money saved will be enough for him to come one more time.
At night, Ye Fan sat alone on the rooftop, meditating and cultivating his Soul Power.
Today, Xiao Wu used the excuse of making friends to coax Ye Fan into giving her a day off from training.
Ye Fan had no choice but to let her go and play.
Without Xiao Wu, Ye Fan's Soul Power consumption slowed down considerably, which meant he had to spend more time meditating.
However, it's not without its advantages.
At least, with this kind of exertion, Ye Fan felt that he was just one step away from level thirty-nine.
At this cultivation speed, even if the Shrek Seven Monsters absorbed the immortal Immortal Herb according to their original destiny, they still couldn't match his speed.
Ye Fan cultivated until midnight, exhausting all his Soul Power before slowly stopping.
"Phew... It's been a long time since I've practiced solo. I'm really not used to it."
Ye Fan looked at the bright moon in the sky and murmured something.
"Feel sorry..."
An apologetic voice came from beside him, and Ye Fan looked over.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing appeared on the other side of the rooftop, hugging her knees and looking at the moon.
The smooth black silk of her clothes reflected the moonlight, making Zhu Zhuqing appear to glow.
The grandeur of a certain spot, in particular, caught Ye Fan's eye.
What a mischievous little cat!
Then, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing with some confusion and laughed, "Why are you apologizing to me?"
Or... are you apologizing to yourselves for not cultivating tonight?
"If I had to answer, the answer would be both."
Zhu Zhuqing turned to look at Ye Fan.
"Have you always been this diligent in your cultivation?"
Her hearing was slightly better than the other two girls.
After having dinner, Ye Fan began cultivating on the rooftop and has been cultivating ever since.
She was already shocked by Ye Fan's Soul Power when she tested Soul Power that morning.
Class of '38, the same age as me...
The topic of discussion among the three women, intentionally or unintentionally guided by Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, shifted to learning about Ye Fan from Xiao Wu's perspective.
Xiao Wu was quite talkative, and she would talk endlessly about Ye Fan whenever she mentioned him.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing could both see how much Xiao Wu liked Ye Fan.
This conversation taught Zhu Zhuqing quite a lot.
This made her even more curious about Ye Fan.
She took advantage of the other two being asleep to appear here, and has been waiting until now.
Ye Fan smiled gently in response to Zhu Zhuqing's question.
"Cultivation, there's no distinction between hard work and relaxation. For me, it's like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind."
"Retreat?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, puzzled.
"It's a refund, you heard me right."
Ye Fan stood up and moved closer to Zhu Zhuqing, bringing the two of them closer together.
"If the Soul Power cultivated on the second day is less than that on the first day, isn't that a regression?"
"Nonsense..."
Zhu Zhuqing hugged her knees, unable to agree with Ye Fan's statement.
Ye Fan's face was covered in sweat.
This shows just how crazy he was at repairing it.
Meditation is originally a way to restore Soul Power while simultaneously cultivating.
But when applied to Ye Fan, it felt like whipping his Soul Power, forcing it to circulate faster...
She couldn't imagine how much pain Ye Fan must have endured during his cultivation.
Can the body really take it?
Ye Fan laughed and said, "So what if it's a twisted logic? At least for me right now, improving my strength is the top priority, otherwise I won't be able to protect the people I want to protect."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Fan, originally wanting to ask him if the person he wanted to protect was Xiao Wu.
But his eyes, now fixed on him, held a mixture of heartache, pity, and unwavering resolve...
She knew she didn't need to ask.
Zhu Zhuqing looked away somewhat embarrassed.
Why did this guy suddenly say something like that?
If I couldn't hear his thoughts, I wouldn't be so panicked.
Knowing those things, she naturally assumed that Ye Fan was saying those kinds of things to her.
Could it be that it was said to all of them?
