Yang Tian, quick-witted and swift-footed, instantly rushed into the training area and wrapped his arm around Zhu Zhuqing's slender waist.
Her loose training clothes concealed Zhu Zhuqing's alluring figure, but with this intimate contact, he could still feel her graceful curves.
"You, you're back!" Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed. Was she being too excited?
Yang Tian smiled, then embraced Zhu Zhuqing, lightly kissing her cheek. He asked, "You're so excited to hear I'm back? Did you miss me?"
Zhu Zhuqing was kissed on the cheek by Yang Tian in front of everyone, making her so shy she didn't know what to do. She buried her head in Yang Tian's chest, refusing to speak.
At this moment, the lively Xiao Wu spoke up, "Tian Ge, you don't know, after you suddenly left, Zhuqing was completely out of sorts every day.
If it wasn't for the letter you left saying you'd return, Zhuqing would have gone to look for you."
Hearing Xiao Wu expose her feelings, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't lift her head even more. Beside them, Tang San and Fatty also joined in the teasing. Only Ning Rongrong watched all of this with a hint of sourness, while Dai Mubai looked on with a complex expression, saying nothing.
After some playful banter, Ning Rongrong stepped forward and pulled Zhu Zhuqing out of Yang Tian's embrace, saying earnestly, "Someone went off to have fun somewhere, Zhuqing, you're too naive. You can't let him get his way so easily."
Everyone knew that Ning Rongrong and Yang Tian didn't get along, or rather, they were more like a pair of playful rivals. Tang San laughed, "I think Rongrong is clearly envious of Zhuqing, right? Tian Ge has always only treated you like a brother."
Brother, it's 'brother' again!
As soon as Ning Rongrong heard the word 'brother,' she bristled. She immediately grabbed a stick and chased Tang San all over the training area.
Tang San didn't fight back, so he just ran, saying, "Rongrong, I was wrong. If you want to hit someone, hit Tian Ge. After all, everything started with Tian Ge."
Tang San unhesitatingly shifted the blame to Yang Tian. Hearing this, Yang Tian's face darkened, "Little San, Little San, I say you're insidious and cunning, and you're still upset?"
Ning Rongrong only chased for a while before she couldn't run anymore. After all, the entire training area was now covered by a four-times gravity field, and every movement consumed several times more energy than usual.
After some frolicking, everyone decided not to train anymore. Instead, after showering in the rooms in the lounge area, they gathered to chat.
"Tian Ge, you still haven't told us where you went this past month? I feel like you've gotten much stronger again?" Ma Hongjun asked curiously, sipping the spirit fruit wine provided by Yang Tian.
Hearing this, Yang Tian glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside him, then said, "I went to Star Luo for a trip. As for what I did, I won't tell everyone.
However, your cultivation speed is really fast. It's only been a month, and you're already at four-times gravity."
Yang Tian changed the subject, and no one pressed him further. Oscar flexed his biceps, striking a flamboyant pose, "That's right, Tian Ge, who do you think we are? We're all Little freaks! Three months, ten-times gravity, it's nothing to us~"
"Exactly, exactly." Ma Hongjun had lost a lot of weight this month. The key was that he had also reduced his visits to pleasure houses by half, dedicating his energy to cultivation. How could he have the strength to chase women?
Yang Tian looked at the smug group and nodded with satisfaction, "It seems the Immortal Herbs I prepared for everyone won't be needed. Perfect, I'll save them for my future wives."
The previously arrogant group's eyes immediately gleamed, and one by one, they began to flatter him, "Tian Ge, your month-long journey must have been exhausting. Let me give you a shoulder rub."
"Tian Ge, I'll give you a back massage."
Oscar and Ma Hongjun were the thickest-skinned, but Yang Tian couldn't stand their service. He immediately kicked both of them away, "I don't do gay. Don't mess around.
Everyone will get Immortal Herbs, but not today. I still need to process them to enhance their effects. Everyone, get yourselves in good shape. Come here tomorrow night to absorb them. As for tomorrow daytime, it's a holiday. Tell the Dean and Grandmaster."
"Hehe, Tian Ge's words are always the best. Let's go, let's go. I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's feast." Oscar laughed lewdly, and Ma Hongjun, carefree, followed Oscar out.
Tang San pulled Xiao Wu into their exclusive bedroom in the lounge area.
Zhu Zhuqing also got up and returned to her room. Ning Rongrong was a bit unhappy. There were two floors in the lounge, with over a dozen rooms in total. Why couldn't she have one?
Seeing Ning Rongrong not leaving, Yang Tian was a bit puzzled. What mischievous idea was this little girl up to now? He clearly remembered that this girl still harbored ill intentions, constantly thinking of getting revenge on him.
Ning Rongrong fidgeted, then ran to Yang Tian, grabbing his arm and shaking it, speaking in a whiny voice, "Yang Tian~, can I also stay here? There are so many rooms, can you give me one, please?"
Looking at Ning Rongrong clinging to his arm and acting spoiled, Yang Tian's mouth twitched. That's it? Is your highness's dignity only worth one room?
"Please, please~" Ning Rongrong said sweetly. This past month, she sometimes stayed in Xiao Wu's room, but that was just borrowing a place to sleep.
Actually, with Ning Rongrong's former temper, she would have already taken a room for herself without asking. But after being taught a lesson by Yang Tian, she developed an instinctive fear of him...
Yang Tian looked at Ning Rongrong and said, "Tang San and Xiao Wu are my sworn siblings. Zhuqing is the girlfriend I'm currently pursuing. What about you? If you want to live here, you need a good reason, don't you?"
Ning Rongrong was stunned at his words. Then she clasped her hands together and whispered, "How about, how about you pursue me too. That way, I can move in."
...You really dare to think that.
Yang Tian was speechless. Dai Mubai, who had not yet left, was also speechless. This Ning Rongrong... there was really no dealing with her.
"Go, go, go. I'll give you a room. Just be honest from now on and don't cause me any trouble." Yang Tian was also amused by Ning Rongrong. Anyway, there were many rooms here, and Ning Rongrong was a girl... so it was fine if she moved in.
Ning Rongrong jumped up happily, exclaiming 'Yay!', then leaned in and planted a big kiss on Yang Tian's cheek~
"Don't overthink it, this princess is rewarding you."
After the kiss, Ning Rongrong's pretty face was slightly red. Then, she turned around haughtily and walked a few steps before jogging up to the second floor.
Two rooms on the second floor were already occupied, but there were still many empty rooms. Ning Rongrong, whether intentionally or not, chose the room right next to Yang Tian's. On Yang Tian's other side was Zhu Zhuqing's room.
After choosing her room, Ning Rongrong paid no attention to the two people still sitting opposite each other downstairs.
Yang Tian picked up the wine bottle from the table, refilled the empty glass in front of Dai Mubai, then poured one for himself, saying, "Something wrong?"
Dai Mubai frowned, then nodded.
Yang Tian was not surprised and continued, "About Zhuqing?"
