Tenderness When No One Is Around

Tenderness When No One Is Around

Seeing Tianheng's conflicted expression, Yu Luomian could not help but sigh before speaking.

"Tianheng, if you fight Xiao Yu now, even if you win, it would be an unfair victory. How about this? Wait until Xiao Yu reaches level twenty and becomes a Soul Grandmaster before challenging him.

"You are currently level twenty-five. Given Xiao Yu's talent, reaching level twenty should take only a year or two. And in that time, you likely will not be able to advance to level thirty.

"So rather than bullying someone weaker and earning everyone's scorn, wait until Xiao Yu has grown stronger, then fight him openly and fairly!"

Hearing his second grandfather step in to defuse the situation, Yu Tianheng finally snapped out of his dazed state and nodded blankly.

Right now, he only wanted to leave as soon as possible. Even if he were made to fight now, he would only surrender. He felt he had no face left to remain here.

"Fine."

"Alright, Xiao Yu. Since you have agreed to the terms of the match as well, then for the sake of fairness, I will bring Tianheng back once you reach level twenty. Oh, and what I told you before still stands. If you ever give it some thought, have Erlong notify me whenever you wish!"

With that, Yu Luomian immediately left with Yu Tianheng, not saying another word.

Seeing how quickly Yu Luomian had departed, Dugu Bo came back to his senses and could not help sneering.

"Hmph, Yu Luomian, Yu Luomian. Even at a time like this, are you still desperately clinging to your sect's pride? If Yu Tianheng's character remains like this, how long can you keep it up?"

With his sharp eye, Dugu Bo saw through it at once. Waiting until Xiao Yu reached level twenty before fighting was nothing more than an excuse. Yu Tianheng had been so shaken by Xiao Yu's earlier words that he could no longer speak, and inferiority had already taken root in his heart.

That was why that old fox Yu Luomian had come up with such a despicable excuse. If they truly fought now, Yu Tianheng might not even be able to make a move. Surrender would be his only option.

"..."

"Xiao Yu, thank you. Really, thank you."

While Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo were still reflecting on Xiao Yu's words, Dugu Yan rushed forward and tightly embraced Xiao Yu.

At this moment, no words could describe Dugu Yan's excitement. All of her feelings became a hug, a word of thanks, and an even deeper affection.

Gently patting Dugu Yan's lovely back and comforting her as she cried softly, Xiao Yu looked at his panel. To his surprise, after he had spoken those words, Liu Erlong's Conquest Points had increased by five, while Dugu Yan's had risen by another ten. Xiao Yu now had fifteen Conquest Points with Dugu Yan.

And he could open his first treasure chest at any time!

However, Xiao Yu was in no hurry to open it. While the iron was hot and the situation was perfect, gathering more Conquest Points was the true priority.

"It's nothing, Sister Yan Yan. Even if we had fought just now, I was confident I could defeat Yu Tianheng. Yu Tianheng is stronger and older than me, but there is one thing he lacks compared to me.

"That is the will to press forward without hesitation! Without that spirit, no matter how powerful you are, you are only strong on the outside and weak within! Even if he may be stronger than me at the start, once the battle drags on, the one who loses will definitely be Yu Tianheng!"

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Liu Erlong fell silent.

Indeed, Tianheng was exactly like that. For some reason, the bold spirit that once drove him forward had vanished, leaving him as he was now.

She had not expected Xiao Yu to notice this after knowing him for such a short time.

Liu Erlong's gaze toward Xiao Yu grew increasingly complicated.

"Alright, Yan Yan. Men and women should not be so intimate. Stop hugging him and come home with me!"

Seeing his granddaughter clinging to Xiao Yu like a koala, Dugu Bo's emotions overcame his reason, and he pulled them apart.

"Grandfather!!"

Dugu Yan whined coquettishly.

But when she saw the icy look in Dugu Bo's eyes, she did not dare say anything more. There would be plenty of time in the future, so there was no need to rush. She could only smile at Xiao Yu.

"Then Xiao Yu, I'll come see you again tomorrow!!"

"Mm, alright. Sister Yan Yan, you're welcome to come play with me anytime!"

"Kid, I, Dugu Bo, have not made many friends in my life. You count as one."

After hesitating as if he wanted to say more, Dugu Bo left with Dugu Yan as well.

In the end, only Xiao Yu and Liu Erlong remained outside.

"Teacher, how are your injuries?"

Xiao Yu turned to Liu Erlong and asked about her injuries with concern.

Liu Erlong came back to her senses and smiled faintly.

"I'm alright. With treatment from the academy's healing-type Soul Masters, I should be fully recovered in a few months! Weren't you hungry, Xiao Yu? Come, eat first."

"Alright."

Then Xiao Yu and Liu Erlong began eating.

"Oh, Xiao Yu, make sure to wash yourself properly later. You're filthy!"

"Alright!"

"Oh, since there's nothing else to do, why not make up for what I owe you while you're bathing?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu looked at Liu Erlong, whose face was slightly red, and shook his head.

"No, Teacher. Let's wait until you have recovered. You can owe me for now."

"You brat! I finally worked up the nerve to say it, and you dare refuse?! Believe it or not, if you don't want it this time, there won't be a next time!"

Liu Erlong rubbed Xiao Yu's head with a smile.

"Then there won't be a next time. In my eyes, Teacher is more important than anything. Nothing matters more than Teacher. Without you, how could I be where I am today? Teacher, just treat what you said as a joke."

Xiao Yu rubbed the back of his head as he spoke slowly.

"Xiao Yu, you..."

Gained ten Conquest Points!

Conquered target: Liu Erlong (59%)

After hearing those words, Liu Erlong's expression jolted, and her face filled with an indescribably complicated emotion.

This feeling of being placed in the most important position in someone's heart...

It was something Liu Erlong had never experienced in all her life.

She had always been the one caring for others. This was the first time she had felt such care emanating from someone else.

Now that she felt it, Liu Erlong's beautiful face could not help flushing crimson.

Her long, slender legs began to shift restlessly as well.

"Teacher, are your legs uncomfortable? Do you need me to massage them?"

Seeing Liu Erlong's black-stockinged legs moving irregularly, Xiao Yu asked.

"Ah... they are a little sore. Why don't you massage them for me?"

With her face flushed, Liu Erlong seized the opportunity.

She could not possibly say that her thoughts had wandered elsewhere.

After receiving Liu Erlong's permission, Xiao Yu put down his chicken drumstick.

Then, with practiced ease, he lifted Liu Erlong's beautiful black-stockinged leg.

His palm gently kneaded her calf.

Even through the stockings, Xiao Yu could feel how firm and powerful Liu Erlong's calves were.

If only I could be stepped on by legs this beautiful just once...

"Mm..."

Feeling Xiao Yu's hand moving across her calf, Liu Erlong's already flushed face instantly turned even redder.
