"Mmph, mmph..."
Before Wang Dong'er could react, Lin Xuanchen lowered his head and kissed her soft red lips.
Then, with practiced ease, Lin Xuanchen parted Wang Dong'er's teeth and began stealing the air left in her mouth.
"Mmph, mmph..."
All Wang Dong'er could do was instinctively press her hands against Lin Xuanchen's chest, a few muffled whimpers escaping her red lips.
But as time slowly passed, Wang Dong'er's body melted into Lin Xuanchen's embrace, leaving her helpless to do anything but let him keep taking what he wanted.
Only after a long while, when Wang Dong'er was almost out of breath, did Lin Xuanchen slowly pull away from her red lips.
A clear, glistening silver thread stretched between their lips before breaking.
"You... you scoundrel..." Wang Dong'er chided softly, her pretty face flushed with embarrassment. "I told you to behave yourself at my house. What if my First Dad and Second Dad see us?"
"What is there to be afraid of? There's no one else here right now, is there?" Lin Xuanchen said with a wicked grin, reaching out to give Wang Dong'er's pert bottom a pat.
"Mmph..."
At the touch from behind, Wang Dong'er's body gave an involuntary shiver. Her already flushed face grew several shades redder under Lin Xuanchen's teasing.
"All right, stay here for now. I'm going to find my First Dad and Second Dad." Wang Dong'er lightly thumped Lin Xuanchen's chest, then ran straight out of the room.
Meanwhile, on the third floor of the Clear Sky Sect...
Two people were there. The middle-aged man in the seat of honor had blue-green hair that fell freely over his broad, imposing shoulders. Even his eyes were blue-green, and whenever they opened or closed, an indescribable, extraordinary pressure radiated from those otherwise unassuming eyes.
This man was none other than the Sky Azure Bull Python, Niu Tian.
"No! Big Brother, I'm going to beat that brat up right now! I can't take it anymore!"
Tai Tan roared, his eyes bloodshot and his breath coming like a panting bull's. "Who knows what soul-bewitching potion he fed Little Dong! She wasn't like this when she left, but look at her now!"
The more Tai Tan spoke, the more agitated he became, the redder his eyes grew, and the harder he panted like a bull.
"And that Tang San! He told Little Dong to disguise herself as a boy and approach some successor of the Goddess of Life. And now look! We've lost her to him!"
"Big Brother, just look at how Little Dong treats that brat. She practically wants to tear out her heart and hand it to him!"
"And that brat is no good either! The moment he arrived, he made a beeline for our Clear Sky Sect's Cold Ice Jade Marrow Bed! Such outrageous greed!"
Tai Tan kept cursing, his entire face already flushed crimson.
"Second Brother, calm down."
Niu Tian's expression was hardly pleasant either, but he was clearly much calmer than Tai Tan. "Besides, Little Dong seems different now. Haven't you noticed?"
"Different?" Tai Tan paused, then scratched his head. "I was so busy getting angry that I didn't sense Little Dong's aura."
"Little Dong is already at level 50. And I can sense that she has at least one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. Her attribute has also transformed into ultimate light," Niu Tian said slowly.
"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?! Ultimate light?!" Tai Tan was startled. With a thought, his powerful spiritual force swept outward like a vast net and quickly pinpointed Wang Dong'er's location.
After probing briefly, Tai Tan said in surprise, "Wasn't Little Dong supposed to obtain her soul rings in the Ascension Pavilion? Why did she go hunting for one herself, and a hundred-thousand-year one at that?!"
"That brat probably got it for her." Niu Tian frowned. "Besides, Tang San did say that he's the Goddess of Life's successor."
"Judging by what Tang San meant, he intended to bring that brat under his control. But now it seems the plan has changed. It looks like we'll have to move ahead of schedule."
"Hmph!" Tai Tan snorted coldly. "Whatever happens, I'm going to give that brat some trouble this time. I really can't stand the sight of him right now."
"Show some restraint. You've lived for over a hundred thousand years, yet you're still the same as ever," Niu Tian said calmly.
"Since things have come to this, all we can do is test that brat first. We can't reach Tang San right now either. It seems something has held him up."
"First Dad, Second Dad!"
While Niu Tian and Tai Tan were discussing the matter, Wang Dong'er pushed open the door and walked in.
"Little Dong, don't you owe us an explanation? Not only did you drop out of school this time, you even brought a boyfriend home to me and your Second Dad." Niu Tian looked at Wang Dong'er as she entered, his tone stern.
"First Dad, Second Dad, you don't understand A-Chen at all," Wang Dong'er said unconcernedly.
"With A-Chen's help, I absorbed a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as my third soul ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as my fourth. I even raised my attribute to the level of ultimate light."
Wang Dong'er then began painting Lin Xuanchen in the best possible light, completely leaving out how he had pulled down her pants and spanked her over his knee when they first met. She kept explaining how she had obtained her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and ultimate light.
Of course, Wang Dong'er also left out the matters of hiring the Ice Empress and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"First Dad, Second Dad," Wang Dong'er said plaintively, "A-Chen really treats me well. Please stop being so hostile toward him."
"Ah." Seeing Wang Dong'er like this, Niu Tian could only sigh helplessly and say:
"Little Dong, you only went away once. How did you come back a completely different person? It seems that brat fills your eyes and your heart now."
"So what?" Wang Dong'er nodded, admitting it outright. "A-Chen really does treat me well!"
"Little Dong, we know nothing about that brat. We still need to assess his character and other aspects of him," Niu Tian said gravely.
"First Dad!" Wang Dong'er immediately grew unhappy at those words, pursing her lips in displeasure. "I know A-Chen's character. Do you really have so little faith in my judgment?"
"Little Dong, don't make a fuss," Niu Tian explained. "Your Second Dad and I aren't doubting your judgment. We just need to vet him for you."
"What is there left to vet?! Isn't everything A-Chen has done for me proof enough?"
"A hundred-thousand-year soul ring and an ultimate attribute-A-Chen got such precious things for me without even batting an eye," Wang Dong'er said, deeply displeased.
"Uh... well..." Hearing Wang Dong'er's words, Niu Tian found himself at a loss for what to say.
