"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Zhu Zhuqing felt uncomfortable all over under Ning Rongrong's angry, resentful, jealousy-filled glare.
"You're asking me why? Take a look at what you're doing! Girl, even if you want to get ahead, you don't have to... use a method like this!"
Ning Rongrong's face was full of resentment.
She wanted to use this method too, but she lowered her head to look at those two little mounds.
Would that work?
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing looked down at herself.
Then her entire catlike face flushed bright red!
She hurriedly covered her face and ran away screaming:
"Aaah! Landlord... I didn't mean to!!"
Just like that, the beautiful view was gone.
Xiao Yexuan merely scratched his head and said:
"Why did she run away?"
Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes shifted slightly. Judging by Xiao Yexuan's appearance, he didn't seem interested in Zhu Zhuqing.
It seemed Zhu Zhuqing's seduction hadn't worked.
Could it be...
The type Xiao Yexuan liked was someone like her!
One of humanity's ten greatest delusions.
Does he like me?
It was especially prevalent in this place known as the Continent of Romance.
Then Xiao Yexuan cleared his throat softly and said:
"Rongrong, didn't you go to withdraw money? Would you like to top up your rent?"
With Tang Hao watching like a tiger outside, Xiao Yexuan felt he had to hurry and improve his side's strength.
At the mention of money, the corners of Ning Rongrong's mouth rose.
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, no one's wealth could compare to their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's!
She took out a large bag of Gold Soul Coins.
It landed on the ground with a dull thud.
"Brother Yexuan, there are a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins here. I'm putting it all in!"
Ning Rongrong spoke with tremendous extravagance.
Xiao Yexuan's eyes immediately lit up.
She really was a little rich girl.
A hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins meant over two hundred years, more than three thousand months of rent.
Converted into points for Xiao Yexuan, that would be over three thousand too.
Hiss...
This time, he wanted to pull to his heart's content too.
He hurried to process Ning Rongrong's payment.
However, what left Xiao Yexuan somewhat displeased was...
What should have been over three thousand points only resulted in a little over seven hundred being credited.
[Ding! Maple Forest Evening has insufficient reputation. Points obtained from each tenant are capped at a maximum of one hundred years.]
One hundred years meant twelve hundred points.
Ning Rongrong had already contributed over four hundred points before. Now, no matter how much more she topped up, he wouldn't receive any more points.
"Reputation? What's that?"
He hadn't heard anything about reputation before.
[Reputation can unlock more room facilities and improve the rewards in the lottery pool.]
No wonder he hadn't gotten anything good from fifty frenzied pulls after receiving those four hundred-odd points from Ning Rongrong.
So it was because his reputation was too low.
This was probably just the basic pool.
Soul Rings and Soul Bones were only at the ten-thousand-year tier at most.
The maid's strength was only at the Soul Douluo level too.
Then wouldn't leveling up once let him obtain hundred-thousand-year-tier rewards?
Hehe, something to look forward to.
"System, how do I increase reputation?"
[Obtain three tenants and ten positive reviews.]
[Currently, there are two tenants and one positive review!]
[Note: Each tenant can only write one positive review per day.]
Fortunately, the requirements weren't difficult.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong could both write another positive review today.
Once he lured Xiao Wu over, he should be able to unlock a higher-tier prize pool very soon!
"Wow~! Waaah!! Brother Yexuan, look! I got two! Two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones!!"
Just as Xiao Yexuan was making plans, Ning Rongrong's incredibly excited voice rang out beside him.
Xiao Yexuan looked over and saw that, out of a hundred wheels, two had actually hit the jackpot.
Xiao Yexuan's face twitched.
Wasn't this the legendary double gold!
Those goddamn luck emperors deserved to die!
He had never encountered that when drawing prizes in his previous life.
But facing a customer, Xiao Yexuan still had to put on a gentle smile and congratulate her:
"Rongrong, your hand must have been kissed by the goddess of luck."
"This is the Wisdom and Generosity Head Soul Bone you won. For your other Soul Bone, which body part would you like?"
"There really... really is another Soul Bone!!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes shone.
"Of course!" On the surface, Xiao Yexuan looked perfectly calm.
But inside, his heart was bleeding.
Exchanging for a Soul Bone in the exclusive shop required fifty points.
Now that the points he could obtain were limited, every single one was incredibly precious.
But for the sake of his credibility, Xiao Yexuan was still willing to spend those points.
"Then... give me a leg bone! I hope it can give me an evasion ability. Otherwise, if I run into Tang San again and get targeted by his hidden weapons, it'll be hard to escape."
Ning Rongrong was still guarding against Tang San.
Xiao Yexuan exchanged for a left leg bone for her.
Ning Rongrong's little heart nearly leaped out of her chest.
Once she absorbed these two Soul Bones, her Soul Power would reach level thirty.
After returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she would be able to purse her lips smugly and prove herself to those old men at home who did nothing but nag.
"Rongrong, I suggest you hold off on absorbing the Soul Bones. Tonight, take the Mystic Water Pill first to improve your physique."
Xiao Yexuan offered his advice.
"Mhm! Brother Yexuan, I'll listen to everything you say."
Ning Rongrong nodded obediently, her eyes never able to move away from Xiao Yexuan.
With Ning Rongrong constantly clinging to him, how was he supposed to run his business properly?
So Xiao Yexuan found something for her to do:
"Didn't you also draw some cultivation techniques just now? Once you've learned them, you won't have to worry about having no means of attack or defense."
"Mhm!" Ning Rongrong nodded, but remained unmoved.
She wasn't enthusiastic about cultivation in the slightest.
Especially now that she had obtained so many wonderful treasures and could level up quickly with ease, why the hell would she bother working hard?
How could that be as fun as staying beside her Brother Yexuan?
"Oh, right, Rongrong, this is our review card. Could you leave us a review?"
Xiao Yexuan had almost forgotten that he still needed to farm reputation for Maple Forest Evening.
"A review?" Ning Rongrong looked at it, then smiled gently:
"I'm giving Brother Yexuan a five-star review!"
Zhu Zhuqing could also write another positive review today, but she had gone back to cultivate, so he sent Rem to give her the review card when she came out.
Ning Rongrong was simply too clingy.
Xiao Yexuan could only take her for a stroll around the courtyard.
Trying to persuade her to cultivate was completely useless.
Then Xiao Yexuan demonstrated the power of Three Thousand Lightning Movement to her, hoping she would also fall in love with such a powerful technique and obediently return to cultivate.
When Ning Rongrong saw Xiao Yexuan unleash Three Thousand Lightning Movement, the lightning he released made her delicate body tremble.
She didn't want to cultivate by herself, so she said with an expectant look:
"Brother Yexuan, you seem to be able to release electricity. Help me temper my body with lightning."
"Don't you really hate that kind of pain?" Xiao Yexuan felt something was amiss.
"But I think Brother Yexuan is so gentle that you won't let me get hurt. Please~! Brother Yexuan, train with me~!"
Ning Rongrong hugged Xiao Yexuan's arm and shook it as she wheedled.
Xiao Yexuan wanted to refuse, but suddenly thought, If I shock her unconscious, won't I be able to do whatever I want?
So he nodded and said, "All right. Don't blame me if it hurts too much."
