Looking at the two women embracing each other, their figures graceful, Xiao Yan closed the steamer, unable to resist rubbing his hands together.
Today, he had changed Xiao Xue into a new set of clothes.
Although the style of the entire set of clothes looked simple, the design was actually very complex.
The dress was a simple style, with two goose yellow shoulder straps as fasteners, exposing her fair, smooth arms, especially with a yellow osmanthus flower ornament on her right hand.
On the chest of the upper body, a goose yellow fabric was embroidered with a pattern of a jade rabbit seeking medicine using gold and red threads. An apricot yellow belt tied a double-ear knot at the waist, serving as a division between the upper and lower body.
The lower body was a goose-cage short skirt style, overall very fluffy, using a gradient design, interwoven with navy blue and light yellow, and there were several exquisite embroideries on it.
Xiao Xue's long, jet-black hair, which reached her waist, was styled into two pigtails, with several bright yellow hair accessories adorning them. She had a neat, air-bangs hairstyle that reached her eyebrows, which paired with her delicate features, was simply a perfect gift from heaven.
That slender, beautiful leg was clad in a pair of white silk stockings, and she wore white high heels.
Overall, she looked like a cute little osmanthus spirit, making one want to embrace her and savor her.
Gazing at Xiao Xue with burning eyes, Xiao Yan, Xiao Xue hid behind Xiao Yi and said timidly, "Brother Xiao Yan, why are you looking at me like that? It's as if you want to eat me up, it's so scary."
Xiao Yan glanced at the mushrooms soaking in the clear water in the porcelain basin and smiled, "Didn't you say you don't like eating mushrooms? The mushrooms are angry!"
He quickly moved to Xiao Xue's side and grabbed her into his arms. Xiao Yan looked at the adorable girl in front of him, a mischievous smile on his face.
Feeling the heat from Xiao Yan, Xiao Xue understood that he was indeed furious. She looked at Xiao Yi for help, her big, watery eyes fluttering.
Xiao Yi shook her head helplessly: You started the fire, you put it out.
"Don't look, Xiao Yi is the most well-behaved." Xiao Yan embraced Xiao Xue's slender waist and gently placed her on the cupboard.
Xiao Xue pushed against Xiao Yan's chest, looking pitiful. "Rongrong and the others are still here. They might come out at any moment. If they see us, I'll die of embarrassment."
Xiao Yan reached out and flicked Xiao Xue's delicate nose, chuckling. "Don't worry. Those two are sound asleep. As long as you keep your voice down, no one will know."
She couldn't argue with him.
Xiao Xue could only nod, raising a hand to cover her lips.
Time ticked by. Warm sunlight shone on Ning Rongrong's face.
Reluctantly opening her eyes, Ning Rongrong looked at the already bright sky. She had slept very comfortably that night.
After a night's rest, the fatigue on her body was finally gone, thanks to her Soul Master constitution.
After washing up, she pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
Hearing the coughing from the kitchen, Ning Rongrong skipped over, asking, "Xiao Xue, what delicious things are you sneaking?"
Xiao Xue glared at Xiao Yan, and her nimble tongue quickly swept across her lips, trying to erase any evidence.
"There's nothing good to eat. We were waiting for you to get up," Xiao Xue composed herself, trying to act as usual.
Ning Rongrong giggled, looking at Xiao Xue's mouth, "You say there's nothing, but the cream on your lips has given you away."
Hearing this, Xiao Xue quickly raised her hand to wipe her mouth, glanced at her fingers, and, like a startled little rabbit, quickly ran upstairs, saying, "You guys eat first."
Ning Rongrong felt a bit strange and walked into the kitchen, looking at Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi, "What's wrong? It's just eating some cream cake, isn't it?"
"Hehe, maybe she ate too much," Xiao Yan touched his nose.
Xiao Yi turned around, pretending to wash mushrooms, and quickly and carefully wiped the corners of her mouth under her veil.
Xiao Yan made a mushroom and ginger stir-fry, and the last dish was finished.
Not long after, Zhu Zhuqing also got up.
The group ate a simple breakfast and rented a large carriage, heading towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
Sitting in a row, Ning Rongrong kept turning her head to look at Zhu Zhuqing, who was wearing gorgeous clothes beside her. After a while, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Zhuqing, you look so cute in this outfit."
"It's alright." Zhu Zhuqing's legs were pressed tightly together. This was the first time she had worn clothes of this style, and she felt somewhat awkward.
She glanced at Xiao Yan, discovering that he was also looking at her, and her face immediately flushed a little.
Before waking up this morning, she still found it hard to believe what had happened last night.
It was simply too dreamy; breaking through three Soul Power levels in one night. Even with the fusion of high-level Soul Rings, it was difficult to achieve such a rapid increase in levels.
It wasn't until she sensed the abundant Soul Power within her body again that she fully believed that everything, like a beautiful dream, was real.
Xiao Yan had indeed leveled up from rank twenty-seven to rank thirty with his help.
After traveling for a while, Xiao Yan leaned back in the carriage seat and looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who seemed hesitant to speak. "Just say what's on your mind. Rongrong is Xiao Xue's friend, not an outsider."
Ning Rongrong smiled upon hearing this. She didn't have many friends in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so she was happy to make a couple of friends outside.
Zhu Zhuqing said, "I wanted to ask some questions about cultivation. Is that okay?"
Xiao Yan waved his hand, "There's no problem. I said I wanted to establish a sect, and I'll eventually spread our sect's teachings across the continent."
"Sect?" Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Yan, puzzled. "I asked you last night, but you didn't seem to hear me. Since the Title Douluo last night was your father, and his martial soul is the Clear Sky Hammer, you should be from the Clear Sky Sect, Xiao Yan."
Zhu Zhuqing also looked at Xiao Yan curiously. She had asked a similar question last night but hadn't received a clear answer.
Xiao Yan sighed, "This is a complicated matter. He is indeed my biological father, but as you can see, our relationship isn't good. It's more like we're enemies than father and son. As for the Clear Sky Sect, it's even more distant from me."
Seeing Xiao Yan, usually so gentle, wearing a serious expression, Ning Rongrong, though curious, didn't pry. Instead, she asked a question that intrigued her even more.
"Logically speaking, with your strength, your martial soul shouldn't be the useless Blue Silver Grass. It should be a top-tier martial soul like the Clear Sky Hammer. The reason you're so strong... could it be that you have Twin Martial Souls?"
