"Hey! Ning Rongrong, Xiao Yu is my boyfriend. Don't go too far!"
Seeing this, Dugu Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy. She grabbed Xiao Yu's other arm and pressed her more developed figure against him, her alluring eyes glaring at Ning Rongrong while also shooting a fierce look at Xiao Yu.
This little pervert, I knew he wouldn't let a beauty like Ning Rongrong slip through his fingers!
"Hmph, Sister Yanyan, Brother Xiao Yu hasn't married you yet. He's just your boyfriend. I can be his girlfriend too! Being a girlfriend isn't exclusive to you!"
Ning Rongrong, not backing down, pulled Xiao Yu toward her.
As the little devil of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, who could out-argue her?
"You little brat, how dare you try to steal my man?"
"So what if I do? Sister Yanyan, why don't we compete and see who's more suited to be Brother Xiao Yu's girlfriend?"
Ning Rongrong giggled.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong was like a pure white lotus, while Dugu Yan was like a thorny rose.
Both girls had their own unique charm!
Seeing the two about to argue, Xiao Yu quickly wrapped his arms around their shoulders and tried to mediate.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Rongrong, Sister Yanyan is still your elder. Don't always oppose her. Sister Yanyan, you too. Rongrong is still young. Don't take her too seriously. We're all cultivating together. Harmony is the most important thing!"
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan finally stopped arguing, though their eyes still showed stubbornness.
Seeing the two girls so unyielding, Xiao Yu felt a headache coming on.
With their extreme personalities, their arguments might only get worse in the coming years. It seemed he needed someone with a more balanced personality to mediate between them...
After the commotion, the three of them decided to return to the mountains to continue cultivating.
Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan, still refusing to back down, each held one of Xiao Yu's arms.
Xiao Yu, feeling the contrasting sensations from the two, felt both joy and helplessness.
But they hadn't gone far when they saw Yu Tianxin approaching.
"What are you doing here? Do you think you've grown strong enough to seek revenge?"
Xiao Yu looked at Yu Tianxin's complicated expression and sneered.
"Xiao Yu, Grandfather is in seclusion and can't come, so he sent me to inform you. In two months, it will be Grandfather's birthday. He wants to invite you and Aunt Erlong to attend the celebration. During the banquet, he plans to announce your identity to the clan and the guests, officially recognizing you!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yu was slightly stunned.
A birthday banquet? To officially recognize me?
It seems the prestige of being the clan's heir is more important than I thought...
"Alright, I'll be there."
Seeing Xiao Yu agree, Yu Tianxin prepared to leave and report back.
But before leaving, he turned and said:
"Xiao Yu, even though you've agreed to Grandfather's request, not everyone in the clan accepts you. This banquet might not be easy for you. Many people will be eager to see you humiliated. Be prepared."
Xiao Yu sneered at Yu Tianxin's warning.
"Heh, they're just cowards who only dare to talk behind my back. I can handle them easily. At the same level, I fear no one!"
Seeing Xiao Yu's confidence, Yu Tianxin was momentarily stunned.
He couldn't help but smile wryly.
Of course, Xiao Yu would be this confident.
With just a roar, he had suppressed me...
Beside him, Ning Rongrong, seeing Xiao Yu's domineering side, couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
[Ning Rongrong's Favorability +3!]
[Current Favorability: Ning Rongrong (11%)]
Seeing the notification, Xiao Yu was momentarily stunned.
He had been wondering why the favorability hadn't increased over the past month.
But today, it had gone up just because of a few words.
And now, he could obtain another treasure chest, bringing him one step closer to his next level-up!
However, it was only now, after seeing the favorability, that Xiao Yu realized how true the title "Little Devil" was. Ning Rongrong's acting was impeccable. Even with 11% favorability, it was only a slight positive impression, not even genuine affection.
And yet, she had the audacity to claim she wanted to steal Dugu Yan's man. It seemed she was just doing it for fun, as the favorability hadn't increased at all.
If it weren't for his talent domain accelerating her soul power cultivation, Ning Rongrong probably wouldn't have been so close to him!
But unfortunately, Ning Rongrong, your acting might fool others, but it can't fool my system! It seems I can't let you off so easily when it comes to cultivating with me...
Xiao Yu looked at Ning Rongrong with a mysterious expression.
"Brother Xiao Yu, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Seeing Xiao Yu's strange gaze, Ning Rongrong tightened her grip on her clothes and asked with a gentle smile.
Looking at Ning Rongrong, who showed no flaws in her acting, Xiao Yu couldn't help but admire her.
Seeing her pure, innocent appearance, Xiao Yu let go of Dugu Yan, cupped Ning Rongrong's delicate, makeup-free face, and without warning, kissed her fiercely.
Instantly, feeling the heat on her lips, Ning Rongrong's expression changed dramatically.
She instinctively pushed Xiao Yu away, her voice tinged with anger.
"Brother Xiao Yu, what are you doing?!"
"Rongrong, didn't you say you wanted me to be your boyfriend? I'm just exercising my rights as a boyfriend in advance. Sister Yanyan and I have already bathed together openly. I'm sure you don't want to fall too far behind her, right?"
Xiao Yu, holding Dugu Yan, spoke with a faint smile.
Ning Rongrong's eyes welled up with tears.
Seeing Ning Rongrong on the verge of tears, Xiao Yu stepped forward and pulled her into his embrace.
He gently played with her fragrant hair and whispered:
"Ning Rongrong, stop pretending. I know you don't have feelings for me, but if you want to cultivate with me, you'll have to pay a price. As the daughter of a clan leader, you should understand the principle of 'no pain, no gain.'
Your first kiss just now was the price for cultivating with me for the past month. From now on, if you want to continue cultivating with me, you'll have to pay a price. And what I want isn't something as simple as money!"
