"Enough, you two. Stop bullying her!" Leng Yaozhu, who had been quietly watching, spoke up helplessly for Gu Yue.
Hearing this, Na'er immediately reined herself in a little. Her smile disappeared, but her shoulders kept shaking.
Unable to defy his master's orders, Su Xun could only dispel the Three Desires Power afflicting this "innocent" Silver Dragon King with a thought.
The excruciating pain vanished.
Yet Her Majesty the Silver Dragon King seemed deeply immersed in her role. Still brimming with resentment, she stared at him, looking aggrieved, mournful, and heartbroken.
Even knowing that their Silver Dragon King was not nearly as simple as she appeared, Su Xun still felt a little guilty at the sight of her.
Noticing Su Xun's expression, Na'er immediately sprang over, planted herself between them, and shouted with wide eyes, "Su! Xun! This wretched girl is full of nasty schemes! You can't let her act fool you!"
Then she turned to glare at Gu Yue. "Little Yue, this queen has every one of your schemes under control. Don't even think about seducing Su Xun!"
She immediately grabbed Gu Yue's arm. "Come on, I'll take you to pick a room. Don't try any tricks."
Gu Yue was forcibly dragged away by Na'er.
Throughout the process, Gu Yue's gaze remained firmly locked on Su Xun, her face still filled with reproach.
Su Xun rubbed his nose, pretended not to see, and returned to his room.
After some thought, he sent a message to the Bai sisters, asking them to prepare toiletries, bedding, and other supplies for Gu Yue and bring them up.
Na'er's room was directly opposite Su Xun's.
At that moment, Na'er dragged Gu Yue to the door of the room farthest away and said indignantly, "You'll live here from now on. You're not allowed anywhere near us. Did you hear me?"
Knowing that Leng Yaozhu was probably still watching, Gu Yue simply stared at Na'er without saying anything.
Her stare left Na'er feeling a little guilty, but she stiffened her neck. "What are you looking at? If you lose, admit it. Whoever came first is the big sister, so you have to listen to me!"
Only then did Gu Yue reply, "Did I lose to you? Come on, fight me. If you lose, you live here, and I'll take your room."
"Pfft! Who wants to make a bet with you? Just stay here and behave!" Na'er rolled her eyes and stomped away.
Watching Na'er's retreating figure, Gu Yue's thoughts stirred. Just as I thought.
After witnessing Su Xun's ability just now, she had immediately realized that she had underestimated him far too much.
Furthermore, Su Xun held a more important place in Na'er's heart than she had imagined.
Otherwise, Na'er would not have bristled simply because her little act had made Su Xun look at her a few more times.
In that case, perhaps she could adjust her plan. Striking where the enemy was unprepared could produce an unexpected effect.
With that thought, Gu Yue strode toward Su Xun's room on legs that were just beginning to show their length.
She was the main body. Na'er was merely a dragon riding on human authority, so she naturally could not obey Na'er's arrangements.
Before Na'er could enter her own room, she saw Gu Yue following her, and her delicate brows immediately shot up.
But Gu Yue ignored her outright and knocked on Su Xun's door.
Su Xun opened the door to find Gu Yue staring mournfully at him. Across the hall, Na'er leaned against her doorframe in a huff, wearing an expression that said, Let's see what trick you're trying to pull.
Gu Yue said plaintively, "Aunt Leng told you to prepare a room for me, and bed... bedding. You have to take responsibility for me."
Su Xun said, "I've already arranged for someone to do it. Just wait a little."
"Then I'll wait in your room." As Gu Yue spoke, silver light flashed, and she bypassed Su Xun to barge straight into his room.
Na'er's eyes widened. She shoved Su Xun aside and charged into the room as well, ready to battle Gu Yue. "Little Yue, you've gone too far!"
"..." Watching his room turn into a complete mess in an instant, Su Xun felt numb.
Wonderful. His days ahead probably would not hold a moment's peace.
Still, he merely watched speechlessly without stepping in to stop them.
After all, given the current situation, if he intervened and stood between them, Na'er would see it as favoritism, and he would have to coax her afterward.
As for joining Na'er in bullying Gu Yue, although she currently only called his beloved master "Aunt Leng," she was ultimately under his master's care and counted as "family."
That would hardly be right.
Thus, he simply sat on the mountain and watched the dragons fight.
Still, he had to admit that watching two budding beauties fight was quite a spectacle...
Before long, someone knocked on the door.
Su Xun opened it to find two muscular hulks filling his entire field of vision.
He immediately smiled. "Big Bai, Xiao Bai."
Smiles immediately appeared on the two muscular hulks' faces as well. Their bodies shrank, and they transformed into two rather petite beauties.
The blue-eyed elder sister, Bai Haoze, affectionately reached out to ruffle Su Xun's hair, her demeanor gentle.
The green-eyed younger sister, Bai Zhicen, was much livelier.
As she handed Su Xun a storage Soul Tool Ring, she darted around him in a full circle.
Then she patted his shoulder and said playfully, "Good, good, you haven't lost weight. You should learn more from Na'er and eat more. You're still growing!"
The commotion at the door caught Na'er and Gu Yue's attention. Both immediately stopped wreaking havoc in Su Xun's room and came over.
"Big Bai, Xiao Bai!" Na'er rushed into their embrace and rubbed her head against their chests, setting off rolling waves.
Gu Yue, left with nothing but sorrow, watched the scene and instinctively glanced down at herself.
Then she noticed Su Xun's gaze sweep past her, and her face immediately flushed. What are you looking at? I'm just young right now. It's not as if I'll never have them!
Immediately afterward, she came to her senses and thought in mortified irritation, What am I thinking?!
I'm the mighty Silver Dragon King. Why should I care about a human's opinion?
Calling him big brother was only a last resort. It's not as if I truly see him as my brother!
Besides, this is only a scheme to suppress Na'er!
With my world-shaking intelligence, how could I possibly be burdened by human emotions?!
Watching Gu Yue's constantly shifting expression, Su Xun looked utterly baffled and held out the storage Soul Tool Ring to her.
"Here. Bedding, changes of clothes, toiletries, pajamas, under... ahem, and so on. It's all inside."
"Pick a room yourself and get it set up."
Gu Yue blushed slightly, realizing she had been overthinking things.
However, remembering how devastating this scheme was against Na'er, an idea immediately stirred in her heart. She stared reproachfully at Su Xun again. "Aunt Leng said..."
Su Xun covered his face. This silver dragon was wising up a little too quickly...
Just then, Na'er snatched the storage Soul Tool Ring from Su Xun's hand.
Then she angrily grabbed Gu Yue's arm. "So you like pretending to be helpless, huh? Come on, come on, I'll help you get settled!"
With that, she once again tried to drag Gu Yue toward the room in the corner.
This time, however, Gu Yue stood steady as a rock and enunciated every word. "I want the room next to Su Xun's!"
"I said, no! You! Can't!" Na'er's eyes widened as her emotions surged.
Seeing this, the Bai sisters, who had been enjoying the show by the door, immediately shot Su Xun a gleeful look.
Then they closed the door and promptly fled.
Watching the two girls face off with swords drawn and bows bent, Su Xun sighed softly, feeling nothing but a headache.
"Ahh..."
