I Came to Admire the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Do You Believe Me?
Admiring the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was one thing.
But he had to crawl under Ning Rongrong's covers and admire it with her?
That was bound to give Ning Rongrong the wrong idea and make her curse him out as a pervert.
Wang Changsheng had figured it out.
This system was far too improper.
Fortunately, he was improper too.
So when faced with a task like this, he felt no resistance. On the contrary, he enjoyed it.
After night fell.
The three beauties of Shrek went to the bathroom to bathe after a full day of training.
Beneath the three showerheads were three naked bodies, each with a different figure.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had been through the same thing, and even though Wang Changsheng was willing to take responsibility for them, both felt miserable.
Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, was relaxed and at ease.
She hummed a tune as she bathed.
When she saw her two sisters standing in silence, she immediately spoke up to comfort them.
"Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, you can put your hearts back in your bellies."
"Didn't Grandmaster say so? Wang Changsheng is a god, yet he's been running amok in the mortal world on his own. Sooner or later, the other gods will come to kill him. One day, you'll both return to your loved ones."
Xiao Wu's eyes froze.
She seemed to be looking forward to that day.
Zhu Zhuqing's situation was different from Xiao Wu's.
Everyone could see how deeply Tang San and Xiao Wu loved each other.
But Dai Mubai had already taken the initiative to sever his relationship with her.
Though she shouldn't have said it,
she hoped that day would never come.
It wasn't that she had fallen for Wang Changsheng, either.
Rather, as far as she knew, Wang Changsheng was invincible. In her current situation, only by following him could she grow stronger and avoid drifting through life in a daze, having lost all hope.
After Ning Rongrong's consolation, Xiao Wu's wounded heart finally felt a little better.
She asked casually,
"Rongrong, these past few days, I've noticed you've been very different from before."
"Whenever Shrek ran into bad guys bullying people, you used to curse them until their heads were drenched in dog's blood. But ever since Wang Changsheng showed up, you haven't said a word."
Ning Rongrong rubbed the body-wash foam in her hands and spread it all over herself.
"If it were some other bad guy, even if I couldn't beat him, I could still bring up my Grandpa Sword."
"Is Wang Changsheng the same? If I angered him, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would suffer. And of course, none of us would be spared either. So I can only curse him secretly in my heart."
Xiao Wu was inwardly astonished.
Only today did she truly come to understand Ning Rongrong.
Sometimes,
Ning Rongrong was overbearing and domineering, carrying herself with the arrogance of a young miss.
But that was only toward ordinary people.
When it came to a powerhouse like Wang Changsheng, Ning Rongrong knew where to draw the line.
Still, realizing that Ning Rongrong hadn't simply turned a blind eye and had done her part too, Xiao Wu nodded.
"As long as you cursed him in your heart."
Having said that,
Xiao Wu's mood soured again.
This was the situation they were in.
The best revenge they could manage was to curse him secretly in their hearts.
After bathing, the three returned to their respective dorm rooms.
The academy Liu Erlong ran was spacious, and given their special status as members of the Shrek Seven Devils, they each had a room to themselves.
After Ning Rongrong returned and settled into bed, she soon fell asleep.
She was a support Soul Master, and her physique was inferior to her companions'. If she wanted to grow stronger, she had to put in at least as much effort as they did, if not more.
After a full day of training, she was exhausted.
Just then,
a dark figure flashed into her room.
It was already night, and the lights were off in the room. Though the newcomer's features were hard to make out, the faint outline of his face was Wang Changsheng's.
Looking at Ning Rongrong sleeping soundly on the bed, Wang Changsheng didn't hesitate.
Rongrong, I'm sorry.
I came to admire the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
I hope you can understand.
With that thought,
Wang Changsheng became like a loach.
With a slip and a slide,
he slid smoothly under Ning Rongrong's covers.
The sudden movement startled Ning Rongrong into a scream.
"Ah..."
She hurriedly sat up and switched on the lamp on her bedside table.
Someone had appeared beside her in bed, though she had no idea when.
"It's you..."
"Lord Sunlight, what are you doing?"
"This is my room."
Wang Changsheng stayed right where he was, as though it were only natural.
"I know."
"Rongrong, don't misunderstand. I want to ask you for a favor. Will you help me?"
It was the first time Ning Rongrong had ever lain in the same bed as a man.
Even Oscar, who had been pursuing her all this time,
had never been granted such treatment.
Hearing that Wang Changsheng wanted her help,
Ning Rongrong instantly recalled what had happened to Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.
For a moment,
her face was taut with nerves, and her mind went completely blank.
"Y-you want me to help you how?"
Wang Changsheng answered frankly.
"Rongrong, I came to admire your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Do you believe me?"
"To be precise, I need to lie in bed with you and admire the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda together for three minutes."
Ning Rongrong frowned.
He had crawled under her covers in the dead of night and claimed he was here to admire the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?
Was that possible?
What was there to admire about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?
It seemed Wang Changsheng had something else in mind. She might end up like Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Wang Changsheng, I don't see the slightest trace of a god in you. All I see is lust," Ning Rongrong couldn't help complaining to his face.
Lust?
Wang Changsheng was dumbfounded.
Granted, Ning Rongrong's personality made some people dislike her.
But as far as he was concerned, she would do as long as he could use her.
As long as she wasn't a top-tier beauty like Chao Tianxiang,
as for the rest,
he really wasn't picky.
But
before that,
he really was just here to check in.
He had to give her a stern scolding.
Wang Changsheng's face darkened.
"What are you saying?"
"What kind of ferocious words are those?"
"Am I, Wang Changsheng, the sort of man who can't move his feet the moment he sees a woman?"
Ning Rongrong's pupils shrank.
"Aren't you?"
Wang Changsheng was utterly speechless.
He didn't bother arguing with Ning Rongrong over something so pointless.
Checking in was what mattered.
"Rongrong, you really have misunderstood me."
"As everyone knows, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the finest support Martial Soul under heaven. Before I became a god, I had never seen one, so I came to you to admire your Martial Soul."
Ning Rongrong was slightly taken aback.
Was that really it?
Why didn't she believe him?
"Keep making things up."
"If you only wanted to admire my Martial Soul, why didn't you ask me during the day? Why did it have to be in the dead of night? And why did you have to crawl under my covers?"
Three questions in a row.
Wang Changsheng couldn't answer them.
He wanted to know why too.
Why were the system's tasks always so bizarre?
In any case,
he had to complete the check-in task.
"Rongrong, whether you believe me or not, I came here to admire your Martial Soul."
"Quick, release your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Sitting at the head of the bed, Ning Rongrong was beside herself with anger.
But she didn't have the strength to resist.
She could only hold out her right hand reluctantly and summon her Martial Soul.
A deep-blue, seven-tiered pagoda slowly rose from her palm, exquisitely beautiful.
"Look," Ning Rongrong urged irritably.
Admire her Martial Soul, he said?
Did he think she didn't know what he was really thinking?
Wang Changsheng, lying in bed, was in no hurry to admire it. Instead, he patted the vacant half of the pillow beneath his head.
"Rongrong, this favor I'm asking is very special. You need to lie down too, and then the two of us can admire it together under the covers."
