Zhu Zhuqing, Let's Take the Initiative

Watching Wang Changsheng's shameless behavior,

Liu Erlong could no longer stand it.

After all, she had learned the truth from Tang San himself, and she exposed Wang Changsheng on the spot without holding anything back.

"Wang Changsheng, have you no shame? You were the one who stole Tang San's Immortal Herbs."

Little did she know,

Wang Changsheng thought nothing of it.

It was as if he had expected Liu Erlong to say that.

"Aunt Erlong, you should tell the whole story instead of taking things out of context."

"To be precise, Tang San stole Dugu Bo's Immortal Herbs, and then I stole them from Tang San."

At those words,

the four beauties of Shrek wore different expressions.

Ning Rongrong was astonished.

"What?"

"Tang San steals too? How did I never realize he was that kind of person?"

Wang Changsheng was very pleased with Ning Rongrong's attitude toward Tang San.

Because of his appearance, she had gone straight from calling Tang San Third Brother to using his name.

"You still know too little about Tang San. On the surface, he looks like a decent person, but behind the scenes, he's a complete hypocrite. He says one thing and thinks another, so it's hard to see his true colors."

Hearing Wang Changsheng's assessment of Tang San,

Xiao Wu immediately spoke up for him.

"Impossible."

"Third Brother wouldn't be that kind of person, and he wouldn't steal from anyone."

Wang Changsheng was just about to give Xiao Wu a talking-to.

Ning Rongrong had already spoken up impatiently.

"Xiao Wu, as the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not their heart. You may have spent many years with Tang San, but can you see what he's really thinking? Don't forget how deeply Tang San hides his schemes. We've both seen it for ourselves."

Even though Xiao Wu wanted to defend Tang San,

she couldn't help letting her thoughts run wild when she heard that last sentence.

Ning Rongrong wasn't talking nonsense.

Tang San did indeed give the impression of someone who hid his schemes deeply.

But that was as far as it went.

Because he was Tang San, her Third Brother.

"No matter what you say, I don't believe it."

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes in disdain, apparently unwilling to waste any more words.

Of course,

Wang Changsheng couldn't be bothered to explain further to Xiao Wu either.

Some people were just like that. Their feelings for each other ran so deep that they wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death.

At that moment, Wang Changsheng also had a new idea for distributing the Immortal Herbs in his hands.

"Rongrong, take this Aromatic Silk Beauty and eat it. It can make your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Ning Rongrong's face lit up with joy.

Wang Changsheng had made her that promise some time ago.

She had never imagined

that it was actually true.

"Brother Changsheng, really? You're absolutely wonderful." Ning Rongrong was thrilled as she took the Immortal Herb.

Wang Changsheng explained on the spot with a perfectly serious expression.

"Love isn't something you say. It's something you do."

"You're willing to follow me, so of course I won't let you down. Zhu Zhuqing, the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone is yours. Once you absorb it, your Soul Power will definitely soar."

Zhu Zhuqing reached out and took the Immortal Herb.

Though she wasn't as forward as Ning Rongrong,

she wasn't as resistant as Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong either.

She had long since run out of roads to take and had been trying to accept Wang Changsheng all along.

At that moment,

Wang Changsheng looked at the other two standing by the bed, and his tone changed at once.

"As for Xiao Wu and Aunt Erlong, you're still defending Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, so I suppose you don't care for Immortal Herbs anyway."

Liu Erlong hadn't expected any in the first place. She immediately turned her head away.

"As if I'd ever accept anything from you."

Xiao Wu said nothing, but Wang Changsheng could tell her answer was the same as Liu Erlong's.

He put away all the remaining Immortal Herbs and spoke casually.

"It doesn't matter. I never intended to win either of your hearts anyway. Having your bodies is enough."

At once,

Liu Erlong's face filled with shame and resentment.

She would never follow Wang Changsheng willingly, yet she had no choice but to come to the back mountain every night.

When would these days ever end?

Wang Changsheng, by contrast, looked completely relaxed.

He wasn't going to wear himself out thinking of ways to win Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong over.

For one thing, it was impossible.

For another, he himself was still an unknown.

He naturally wouldn't let down those who were willing.

As for those who weren't, they couldn't escape either.

Wang Changsheng shifted from where he had been leaning against the headboard and lay down spread-eagle.

"The Immortal Herbs have been distributed. Now it's your turn to show me what you've got. Love goes both ways. You can't just make me be the simp; you have to do some licking too."

The next morning,

Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu were the first to leave.

It was as if the two had come to the back mountain on a mission. As long as Wang Changsheng had no special requests, they would leave as soon as they were done.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, meanwhile, took their Immortal Herbs and sat cultivating in the little courtyard.

Rumble-

Several deafening booms rang out in succession.

Several shockwaves from increases in Soul Power erupted from Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong in turn.

Just then,

Wang Changsheng happened to walk out of the room and sit lazily in a reclining chair in the courtyard.

He was a god, after all, so naturally he wasn't surprised by Soul Masters improving.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were different.

After opening their eyes, the two ran toward Wang Changsheng in excellent spirits, their faces full of joy.

Ning Rongrong in particular held her Martial Soul in both hands, tears of excitement welling in her eyes.

"Brother Changsheng, look, quick! Look at my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! It really has evolved to have nine levels!"

Wang Changsheng lay in the reclining chair with his eyes closed, resting, and didn't so much as bat an eyelid.

It was as if all of this was only natural.

"I once promised you I'd make your Martial Soul evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. I didn't lie to you, did I?"

The excitement in Ning Rongrong's heart was beyond words.

She was so moved that she choked up and couldn't speak.

Although Wang Changsheng had also promised to make her a god,

her Martial Soul's evolution into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was a real, tangible event.

Was becoming a god someday still so far away?

The usually silent Zhu Zhuqing spoke up at that moment too.

"Thank you."

Although her Martial Soul hadn't evolved,

her Soul Power had increased even more than Ning Rongrong's, by a full seven levels.

It seemed

Wang Changsheng was no man to make empty promises.

He really was willing to treat her well.

"Brother Changsheng, you're so good to me. My Soul Power went up several levels too. I really don't know how to thank you." Ning Rongrong came forward of her own accord and crouched beside the reclining chair as she asked.

Wang Changsheng kept his eyes closed the whole time.

He seemed exhausted, as though he hadn't rested well the night before.

"You two figure it out yourselves."

He wasn't going to think about anything that took brainpower.

As for repayment, he wasn't going to ask for much. He was so powerful, what could he possibly want that he couldn't have?

The next moment,

Ning Rongrong slowly rose and went over to Zhu Zhuqing with a meaningful smile on her face.

"Seventh Sister, we don't have anything decent to repay him with. Why don't we take the initiative this time? That's the only thing he likes anyway."

Zhu Zhuqing froze for a moment, looking deeply embarrassed.

"Huh?"

"Here?"

Ning Rongrong nodded as rapidly as garlic being pounded, as if she really didn't care about the surroundings or the location.

After Zhu Zhuqing let out a heavy breath with a grave expression, she hesitated no longer.

Wang Changsheng might be bad,

but he really was willing to take responsibility for her.

And the good he had done her already far outweighed the bad he had done her before.

With such a good man,

what reason did she have left to refuse?
