Young Miss, Where's Your Dignity? (Talked Her Out of It? Planted Some Foreshadowing—Xiao Wu Won't Get Away!)

Yang Tian was quick-eyed and fleet-footed. In an instant, he rushed into the training area and wrapped an arm around Zhu Zhuqing's slender waist.

Zhu Zhuqing's loose training uniform concealed her alluring figure, but through such intimate contact, he could still feel the soft curves of her body.

"You... you're back!" Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed red. Was she acting a little too excited?

Yang Tian smiled, pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms, and lightly kissed her cheek. "You were this excited when you heard I was back? Did you miss me?"

Having her cheek kissed by Yang Tian in front of everyone, Zhu Zhuqing was so embarrassed that she did not know what to do. She could only bury her head in his chest and refuse to speak.

At that moment, the lively and restless Xiao Wu spoke up. "Heavenly Brother, you have no idea. After you suddenly left, Zhuqing was distracted all day long.

"If you hadn't left a letter saying you would return, Zhuqing would have gone looking for you."

With Xiao Wu exposing her, Zhu Zhuqing could no longer lift her head. Tang San and Fatty joined in the teasing, while Ning Rongrong watched sourly from the side. Dai Mubai merely looked on with a complicated expression and said nothing.

After everyone joked around for a while, Ning Rongrong stepped forward and pulled Zhu Zhuqing out of Yang Tian's arms. At the same time, she said earnestly, "Someone knows not where he went off to fool around. Zhuqing, you're too innocent. You can't let him have his way so easily."

Everyone knew that Ning Rongrong and Yang Tian were always at odds—or rather, they were more like a pair of bickering enemies. Tang San smiled. "I think Rongrong is clearly jealous of Zhuqing, isn't she? Heavenly Brother has always only treated you like one of the guys."

One of the guys—again!

The moment Ning Rongrong heard those words, her hackles rose. She immediately grabbed a stick and chased Tang San around the entire training area, trying to beat him.

Tang San would not fight her, so he could only run while saying, "Rongrong, I was wrong! If you want to hit someone, go hit Heavenly Brother. After all, he's the source of all this."

Tang San unhesitatingly shifted the blame onto Yang Tian. Yang Tian's face darkened when he heard that. "Xiao San, Xiao San, I called you insidious and cunning, and was I wrong?"

Ning Rongrong could not run anymore after chasing him for only a short while. After all, the entire training area was now covered by a fourfold Gravity Field. Every movement consumed several times more strength than usual.

After their bout of horseplay, no one planned to continue training. After showering in the rooms of the resting area, they gathered there to chat.

"Heavenly Brother, you still haven't told us where you went this past month. Why do I feel like you've gotten much stronger again?" Ma Hongjun asked curiously as he drank the Spirit Fruit Wine Yang Tian had provided.

Yang Tian glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside him before replying, "I took a trip to Star Luo. As for what I did there, I won't tell everyone.

"Still, your cultivation speed has been quite fast. It's only been a month, and you're already at four times gravity."

Yang Tian changed the subject, and no one pressed further. Oscar flexed his biceps and struck a flamboyant pose. "Of course, Heavenly Brother! Who do you think we are? We're all little monsters! Ten Times Gravity in three months is nothing worth mentioning~"

"Exactly, exactly." Ma Hongjun had lost a lot of weight over the past month. More importantly, he had cut his visits to the pleasure quarters in half. He had put all his energy into cultivation—where would he find the strength to plow any fields?

Yang Tian looked at the smug crowd and nodded in satisfaction. "It seems the Immortal Herbs I prepared for everyone won't be needed after all. Perfect, I can save them for my future wives."

The previously proud group immediately had their eyes light up, and they began currying favor with him one after another. "Heavenly Brother, you must have been exhausted from your month-long journey. Let me massage your shoulders."

"Heavenly Brother, I'll pound your back for you."

Oscar and Ma Hongjun were the most shameless, but Yang Tian could not stand being attended to by the two of them. He promptly kicked each of them away. "I'm not into that. Don't mess around.

"Everyone will get Immortal Herbs, but not today. I still need to process them, and their effects will rise to another level. Get yourselves into peak condition and come here tomorrow night to absorb them. As for tomorrow during the day, you're on holiday. Let the Dean and Grandmaster know."

"Hehe, Heavenly Brother really knows how to talk. Let's go, let's go. I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's feast." Oscar laughed lewdly, and Ma Hongjun followed him out without a care in the world.

Tang San pulled Xiao Wu into a bedroom in the resting area. They had their own room there.

Zhu Zhuqing also got up and returned to her room. Ning Rongrong was somewhat unhappy. There were two floors and more than a dozen rooms in this resting area, so why could she not have one?

Seeing that Ning Rongrong was not leaving, Yang Tian was puzzled. What bad idea was this Little Girl plotting now? He clearly remembered that she still had not given up on getting revenge on him.

Ning Rongrong fidgeted for a moment, then ran to Yang Tian's side, hugged his arm, and shook it as she spoke in a coquettish voice. "Yang Tian~, can I live here too? There are so many rooms. Can you give me one?"

Yang Tian's mouth twitched as he looked at Ning Rongrong acting cute while clinging to his arm. That was it? Young Miss, was your dignity only worth a room?

"Please~" Ning Rongrong pleaded sweetly. Over the past month, she had sometimes stayed in Xiao Wu's room, but she was ultimately only a guest there.

In truth, with Ning Rongrong's former temperament, she would have long since chosen a room and moved in on her own. But after Yang Tian had taught her a lesson, she had instinctively become a little timid around him...

Yang Tian looked at Ning Rongrong and said, "Tang San and Xiao Wu are my sworn siblings, and Zhuqing is the girlfriend I'm pursuing. What about you? If you want to move in here, you need at least one decent reason, right?"

Ning Rongrong froze upon hearing that. Then she clasped her hands together nervously and said softly, "Then... then you can pursue me too. That way, I can move in."

...You really dared to think that.

Yang Tian was speechless. Dai Mubai, who had lingered nearby without leaving, was equally speechless. This Ning Rongrong... there was really nothing anyone could do about her.

"Go on, go on. I'll give you a room. Just behave yourself from now on and don't cause me trouble." Ning Rongrong had amused Yang Tian. There were plenty of rooms here anyway, and Ning Rongrong was a girl... it did not matter if she moved in.

Ning Rongrong happily jumped up with a cry of "Yay!" Then she leaned in and planted a loud kiss on Yang Tian's cheek.

"Don't get any ideas. This Princess is rewarding you."

After kissing him, Ning Rongrong's pretty face reddened slightly. Then she haughtily turned around, walked a few steps away, and jogged up to the second floor.

Two rooms on the second floor were already occupied, but there were still many vacant rooms. Whether deliberately or not, Ning Rongrong chose the room directly beside Yang Tian's. On Yang Tian's other side was Zhu Zhuqing's room.

After choosing her room, Ning Rongrong ignored the two men still sitting across from each other downstairs.

Yang Tian picked up the wine bottle, filled Dai Mubai's empty cup, then poured himself another glass. "Something on your mind?"

Dai Mubai frowned, then nodded.

Yang Tian was not surprised. He continued, "About Zhuqing?"
