"Eeya~~"
Ning Rongrong cried out in a soft, delicate voice.
Why did Xiao Yexuan's electricity feel strange, rather than unbearably painful like it had in the Simulation Pod?
"Brother Yexuan?"
Ning Rongrong's face was flushed, her voice weak and delicate, her eyes puzzled.
"I've reduced the lightning's power to the minimum. Are you all right?"
Although the lightning's power was very low, it still wasn't something an ordinary person could withstand.
Ning Rongrong didn't look as unseemly as she had in the Simulation Pod.
It seemed that tempering her body with lightning in the Simulation Pod had given her considerable resistance to lightning.
"So... so that's why. Brother Yexuan, you're... so gentle~!"
Her Brother Yexuan was so warm...
"Brother Yexuan, I want more. More lightning body tempering."
There was even a hint of craving in her voice, and her eyes were watery.
"Huh?"
Xiao Yexuan murmured in surprise. Something was off about Ning Rongrong, wasn't it?
Then Xiao Yexuan increased the current a little...
Only in the end did Xiao Yexuan sling her over his shoulder, feed her a Mystic Water Pill, and toss her into the Simulation Pod to recover.
This tenant was getting harder and harder to please.
Surely the tenants he took in later wouldn't all become abnormal, would they?
By the time Ning Rongrong woke up, it was already evening.
Her body felt so refreshed.
It was as though she had been thoroughly washed inside and out.
Smelling the scent on her body, she recognized it as the effect of a Mystic Water Pill.
So she had already taken a Mystic Water Pill.
With a soft exclamation, Ning Rongrong put on a pretty goose-yellow dress and skipped off to find her Brother Yexuan.
It happened to be dinnertime, too, and Xiao Yexuan and Zhu Zhuqing were in the first-floor hall.
Ram and Rem had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.
At the sight of Xiao Yexuan, Ning Rongrong remembered what had happened before she passed out from the electricity, and her cheeks flushed despite herself.
Had she been possessed back then?
She had actually begged Xiao Yexuan to treat her like that.
Did she seem like an improper girl to Xiao Yexuan?
She felt terribly guilty. What would she do if Xiao Yexuan disliked her because of it?
A worried look immediately appeared on her little face, and she came to Xiao Yexuan's side, looking weighed down with concerns.
"You're here, Rongrong? You worked so hard cultivating today. Come eat plenty so you can grow."
Xiao Yexuan hurriedly greeted her warmly, a gentle smile on his face that made people feel warm, as though it could heal hearts and dispel gloom.
Ning Rongrong's heart was struck hard, and realization dawned on her. What was she thinking?
When she begged Xiao Yexuan to help temper her body, how could someone with his pure heart be as sleazy as those four Shrek men outside?
Right now, not only would her Brother Yexuan not think she was a pervert, he would even think she cultivated very diligently!
Then her dejection vanished, and, like a lark, she happily hugged Xiao Yexuan from behind. "Brother Yexuan, thank you for cultivating with me!"
Huh?
With Ning Rongrong hugging him, why did Xiao Yexuan suddenly feel something different?
Could getting electrocuted...
Make them grow?
Enjoying the pleasure of her soft, delicate body rubbing against him, Xiao Yexuan showed no change on the surface and said gently:
"Rongrong, we're eating. No fooling around~!"
Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue, then sat beside Xiao Yexuan. Her eyes lit up as she looked at the table full of delicious food.
It would have been even better if the dairy-cow-like Zhu Zhuqing hadn't been sitting opposite her.
Then Ning Rongrong helped Xiao Yexuan pick out food, acting like his thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket.
With a woman's intuition, Ning Rongrong had sensed something unusual in Zhu Zhuqing's cold eyes several times.
Ning Rongrong gave a soft huff. Sure enough, this Zhu Zhuqing had designs on her Brother Yexuan, too!
Hmph!
Then Ning Rongrong's witch-like nature revealed itself, and she became even more intimate with Xiao Yexuan.
It drove Zhu Zhuqing to the verge of erupting several times!
"Are you two free tonight?"
After dinner, Xiao Yexuan asked the two of them.
"Brother Yexuan, of course I'm free. I'm free all day long!" Ning Rongrong answered instantly.
Ning Rongrong had thoroughly sickened Zhu Zhuqing over this meal, but she feared Ning Rongrong would do something even more excessive if she wasn't around, so she nodded as well.
"Let's visit the Great Soul Arena. It'll also let me see the results of your cultivation."
"Sure! I want to team up with Brother Yexuan!"
Ning Rongrong agreed without even thinking.
Zhu Zhuqing wondered why they needed to go to the Soul Fighting Arena when they already had the Simulation Pod.
But she didn't want Ning Rongrong monopolizing Xiao Yexuan either, so she went along.
Ram and Rem both possessed the strength to contend with a Titled Douluo.
But one of them still needed to stay behind to watch the house.
In the end, only Ram went with them to Suotuo City.
Xiao Yexuan was also making plans.
At night, because the school lacked a suitable cultivation venue for lessons, Shrek Academy would bring its students to cultivate in the Soul Fighting Arena.
They should be able to run into Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others.
When the time came, if he let them see Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's improvement, perhaps Xiao Wu would be lured to Maple Forest Evening out of curiosity?
No!
The chances should be very high.
Because when the time came, even just for the Mystic Water Pills, Tang San would fan the flames and help get Xiao Wu into Maple Forest Evening.
That was also why Xiao Yexuan had given Ning Rongrong a Mystic Water Pill after electrocuting her unconscious.
"Brother Yexuan, let's form the Ye-Rong Combination for life!"
When they reached the registration hall of Suotuo City's Soul Fighting Arena, Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Yexuan expectantly as she spoke.
"Rongrong, I only want to run my Maple Forest Evening. I'm not good at fighting. You two can form a team together. That'll also let me see the results of your cultivation."
If Xiao Yexuan took part in Soul Fighting, wouldn't that just be bullying people?
There was no fun in that at all.
What he wanted to show outsiders was Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's improvement.
Neither of them could do anything about Xiao Yexuan's decision.
The two romantic rivals, who had secretly clashed many times, had no choice but to form the Rong-Qing Combination.
As coincidence would have it, in their very first match after registering, the two encountered Tang San and Xiao Wu's Three-Five Combination!
