"Zhu Zhuqing really has a younger brother who's a rank 66 Soul Emperor?"
On the way back to the hotel, Ning Rongrong asked with a curious expression.
Yes, Zhu Zhuqing had followed them after all.
"Yes. He's not as... lively as your younger brother, but he's very good to me."
Zhu Zhuqing spoke dejectedly. She, too, really wanted a younger brother she could play and tussle with.
"I'm so jealous. Your brother must be very obedient..."
Ning Rongrong glanced back at Ning Jiao, who was walking behind them with his hands clasped behind his back, looking at her retreating figure one moment and Zhu Zhuqing's the next.
"He's more sensible than I am..."
"Hm?"
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly froze, staring in astonishment at a blond figure entering the Rose Hotel beside them with his arms around a pair of twins.
"Tsk, tsk. In broad daylight, too. What an affront to public decency!"
Ning Rongrong followed her gaze and clicked her tongue teasingly.
Smack!
With a dark expression, Ning Rongrong grabbed the ear of Ning Jiao, who had bumped into her.
Didn't he know that bumping into her while she was thinking about certain things could cause misunderstandings?
"Why did you stop?"
Ning Jiao asked curiously.
"Do you know that person?"
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at Ning Jiao, then asked Zhu Zhuqing.
"Perhaps..."
Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was complicated. At that moment, she no longer held out any hope that she might be mistaken.
"Your man?"
"Then shall we go take a look?"
"Want me to back you up and pretend to be the puppy boy you hired, so he won't look down on you?"
Ning Jiao blurted it out without thinking.
"Yes, I want to take a look..."
"Hm? That won't be necessary, thank you."
Having just made up her mind, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly realized what Ning Jiao had said. Even with her naturally cool disposition, the corner of her mouth couldn't help twitching.
"Then pretend I hired you!"
Ning Rongrong waved her little hand and wrapped an arm around Ning Jiao's waist with a mischievous grin.
"Hee-hee-hee~"
Zhu Zhuqing's expression darkened as she watched the pink-haired pair enter the Rose Hotel, flirting and joking. She was beginning to regret getting to know them.
"All right, count it as my loss."
"You're heading to Shrek Academy too, aren't you?"
In the hotel lobby, Dai Mubai addressed the black-haired girl opposite him with easy generosity. Beside her stood a lively girl with particularly long legs.
"You're not even blinking?"
"Are they prettier than me?"
Feigning jealousy, Ning Rongrong pinched the soft flesh at Ning Jiao's waist.
The brat had stared dumbstruck the moment he entered. She really was getting a little jealous!
"Rongrong, do you think that little black-haired one is a boy or a girl?"
Ning Jiao swallowed, slipping his other arm around Ning Rongrong's slender waist.
"Hey! Where are your manners?"
The girl with the scorpion braid looked indignantly at the "young couple" coming through the entrance. Plotting so loudly-did they really think no one else could hear?
System? Poke, poke!
Ning Jiao was shaken to the core and no longer had any attention to spare for Xiao Wu's challenge!
[Esteemed host, this system never said that the protagonist of this world was Tang San.]
Ning Jiao pressed his lips together. Yes, he remembered now!
Back in Chapter 2, he had asked the system what time it was, and the system had said that the protagonist had just awakened her Martial Soul.
He had also asked about the Bloodline Vault before, and the system had said that the current bloodline vault only contained the "Douluo I timeline."
It had never specified this world!
Wait, Tang San had turned into a little lady, so how was he supposed to torment San now?
Through some other means?
Ning Jiao narrowed his eyes, studying the little lady's wary face. As the Golden Dragon King, who had also been forced into abstinence for a million years, having greater needs was understandable!
"What happened?"
"Did you get into a fight?"
Arriving late, Zhu Zhuqing surveyed the wrecked lobby, then looked apologetically at the Ning siblings.
"We weren't the ones fighting. It was this blond guy and that black-haired girl."
Ning Rongrong spoke calmly. She had seen plenty of scenes like this, so naturally she wasn't startled.
If she wasn't mistaken, this blond lecher had probably been overcome with lust just like Ning Jiao beside her and offended the black-haired girl.
"You are..."
Dai Mubai's eyes widened. He had been planning to enjoy the show between Ning Jiao and Tang Lan, but now he was suddenly stunned!
Why did this woman who had arrived afterward make his Martial Soul stir?
"Zhu Zhuqing, didn't you say you were too embarrassed to enjoy him with me? Why did you follow us here?"
"Have you already tasted the marrow and developed a craving?"
"I told you this puppy boy had plenty of kick!"
Ning Rongrong asked with a wicked grin, even patting Ning Jiao's bottom with her little hand.
"Hee-hee~"
"You're awful~"
Playing along, Ning Jiao blushed and punched Ning Rongrong's shoulder with just enough force.
The moment those words left her mouth, the lobby fell deathly silent!
Zhu Zhuqing's pupils constricted, and she pointed a trembling finger at Ning Rongrong...
Dai Mubai's eyes were bloodshot, his breathing heavy as an ox's. Now that he had guessed Zhu Zhuqing's true identity, Ning Rongrong's words were no different from planting an enormous cuckold's hat on his head!
"Lan... Little Lan, are city people all like this?"
Xiao Wu swallowed, while Tang Lan beside her also shuddered!
At that moment, Tang Lan no longer even minded Ning Jiao's earlier gaze!
"I'll kill you!"
Dai Mubai roared, and the floor beneath his feet cracked instantly!
The next instant, his heavy fist shot straight toward Ning Jiao's head!
"Watch out!"
Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed. Although Ning Rongrong's words had been a little crude, she had still been trying to help her vent her anger. Naturally, she couldn't stand by and let her younger brother get hurt because of it!
"You deserve to die!"
Dai Mubai's eyes burned crimson. Zhu Zhuqing's reaction only intensified his killing intent!
Had he known Zhu Zhuqing would develop like this, he should have done her before leaving back then!
Who would have thought his woman would end up benefiting a boy who sold himself!
"Seven treasures turn forth, revealing colored glaze!"
"First: Strength!"
"Second: Speed!"
Ning Rongrong summoned her Martial Soul and unhesitatingly enhanced Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Jiao!
"Take my punch!"
Ning Jiao narrowed his eyes and, with a beautiful sweeping kick, knocked the unsteady Dai Mubai to the floor!
He moved to shield Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong behind him!
"Ah!"
Dai Mubai stared at Ning Jiao in shock and fury. This man was actually so despicable!
"Overlord Wind-Chasing Fist!"
Ning Jiao shouted!
Dai Mubai's gaze sharpened, and he activated Martial Soul Possession while lying flat on the floor!
He stared fixedly at Ning Jiao's legs, only for Ning Jiao's fist to instantly drive his entire tiger head into the floor!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Ning Jiao's hands never stopped moving, bringing Dai Mubai's tiger head into intimate contact with the floor again and again!
Then came one vigorous scream after another!
"Ptooey. Hollow tiger."
Xiao Wu gave Dai Mubai a disgusted look. With her discerning eye, she could naturally tell that Ning Jiao's attacks weren't hurting Dai Mubai at all, yet he could still scream like that. How embarrassing!
"Something's not quite right..."
Tang Lan frowned slightly. She could see the force Ning Jiao was putting into his blows. By all rights, Dai Mubai shouldn't have been completely uninjured.
But why wasn't there a single injury on Dai Mubai's body, as though he could only feel pain?
"Can you even do it, you scrawny pup~?"
"You've hit him so many times. How come his face isn't even swollen?"
Ning Rongrong held up her little finger at Ning Jiao.
