The cafeteria.
Chen Xin had already figured out why Ning Rongrong's progress was so rapid.
He fell silent upon hearing about this "Dual Cultivation Technique."
Especially with Ning Rongrong's eager anticipation, it was hard for him to even smile.
It felt like his own cabbage was about to be pigged.
But...
Even though his precious cabbage was about to be pigged.
What could Chen Xin do?
Stop it?
He could only sigh, take out Ning Fengzhi's letter, and give it to Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong opened it with anticipation and trepidation.
A few seconds later.
"Ah!!!"
She sprinted towards Zhuge Lan, who had just entered the cafeteria.
Jumping from a distance of more than ten meters, she threw herself into Zhuge Lan's arms – he almost activated his Thorn Armor.
He couldn't help but feel speechless.
She doesn't know her own limitations, and she's trying to do a tackle like Zhu Zhuqing?
You don't even have any… assets!
Ning Rongrong wrapped her legs around Zhuge Lan's waist and straightened up, displaying the letter.
"Lan! Look!"
Zhuge Lan instinctively focused his gaze.
——Little Lan has excellent talent. If you like him, Rongrong, I can handle the rest.
Oh?
He met Ning Rongrong's excited expression.
Zhuge Lan smiled, "So, do you like me?"
"Of course!" Ning Rongrong replied without hesitation, "If it weren't for considering Dad, I would have already learned from Sister Zhuqing..."
She paused.
Suddenly realizing what she was doing.
Wrapped around someone's waist?
A direct confession in public?
The main point is... His Sword Grandpa was watching the whole time!!! [Mood Points +151515]
"Ah!!!"
Ning Rongrong screamed and jumped out of Zhuge Lan's arms.
She covered her face and rushed out of the cafeteria.
She couldn't face anyone!
"I'll go see her," Zhu Zhuqing said.
Zhuge Lan nodded.
Zhu Zhuqing was the one who went after them.
Zhuge Lan, on the other hand, faced Chen Xin, his gaze suppressing the primordial power within.
He smiled slightly, "Sword Grandpa, would you like to try the food in our cafeteria?"
[Mood Points +44444]
Chen Xin wanted to do something, to back up his precious princess.
But he thought of the divine sense on Zhuge Lan. Looking at the last "Wall-Facing Warning," it should have been a drain. This kind of foundation was incredibly valuable.
Pressuring him rashly would be problematic.
He suppressed his Seven Kill Sword and nodded stiffly.
He and Zhuge Lan went to the window to get their food.
But he saw only three dishes and a soup, and two of them were vegetarian.
He frowned! "Is that little owl so stingy?"
"This little bit of food, is it even enough for anyone to eat?"
Zhuge Lan shrugged indifferently.
"This is still because we won continuously at the Great Soul Arena, and the dean won a lot of gold soul coins, which is why we got an extra meal."
"Don't look down on this food just because there's not much of it, the taste is terrible too."
Chen Xin's eyes twitched.
He couldn't stand it! "I'll have Fengzhi take over Shrek's kitchen tomorrow!"
As expected of the richest of the three sects, he was extravagant.
Too bad... "Wait a bit longer," Zhuge Lan said. "If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be moving to Heaven Dou City soon."
Chen Xin was slightly delighted.
That was great! Heaven Dou City was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's base. Once they were in their own territory, Rongrong definitely wouldn't have to suffer any grievances.
But... The three of them, Meng Yiran included, who had followed them, froze! What the hell!
"You're moving Heaven Dou City? You should've said something earlier!"
"You made them run back and forth for nothing, and this is what you come up with?"
[Mood Points +11111]
[Mood Points +44444]
Zhuge Lan just glanced over, not paying much attention.
Meng Yiran thought too highly of herself; he'd let her stew for a while.
As for Chen Xin...
A joke!
The Covering the World Dragon Serpent's martial soul fusion skill was only comparable to an ordinary Title Douluo.
And he, Sword Douluo, was a level 95 peak Douluo!
He similarly ignored the trio.
Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang exchanged a glance, daring neither to show anger nor to speak—this person could crush them with a single hand.
But Meng Yiran couldn't take it!
She had originally thought she was just here to learn about soul tools.
But when she saw Zhuge Lan emerge from the room, with two women on his arms.
She realized that wasn't the case.
Driven by a strange competitive spirit, she decided to get this man! —Even though it was only their third meeting.
So she made her move. She directly stepped in front of Zhuge Lan, her gaze fixed on him with burning intensity.
"Since you've already taken those two women, I want to be your woman too!"
Zhuge Lan: "???"
Huh?
Chen Xin: "…"
[Mood Points +99999]
He calmly glanced at Zhuge Lan. You've got guts, kid!
Daring to flirt with a girl right in front of me?
Zhuge Lan looked a bit innocent.
"No!"
"This woman just came up and wanted to be mine, I have no idea what's going on!"
And…
His initial plan for Meng Yiran was just free benefits + a built-in bodyguard.
That's all.
"Wait a moment."
Zhuge Lan raised his hand to stop her.
"I admit I wasn't focused, and there will definitely be more women in the future."
"But whether it's Zhu Zhuqing or Ning Rongrong, we only developed feelings after we got to know each other."
"We've only met three times. The first two times, I was even stealing your soul beast."
"How did it get to the point of a confession?"
Meng Yiran had calmed down from her initial impulsiveness and was starting to feel a bit shy.
But she still stubbornly held her head high.
"Does liking someone need a reason?"
"You're handsome, powerful, have a great background, and you know soul tools, which I want to learn."
"I like you, isn't that perfectly reasonable?"
"We haven't seen each other for a month, and you're already surrounded by women."
"Besides..."
"If I don't act fast, who knows where I'll end up in line!"
Zhuge Lan was amused by her words.
Alright, alright!
So straightforward, huh?
He glanced at Chen Xin and found him staring at him with a blank expression.
——You really know how to pick your moments!
If it were any other time, Zhuge Lan might have said he'd give it a try – after all, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
But now...
Provoking a Title Douluo to his face would cost at least a million Mood Points.
Meng Yiran wasn't worth that price, not yet.
"I'm sorry."
Zhuge Lan said firmly.
"A relationship without a foundation of feelings is like sand, it scatters without even the wind.
So, let's start as friends first."
He refused?
Both members of the Covering the World Dragon Serpent couple and Chen Xin were surprised.
——Zhuge Lan doesn't seem like such a… gentleman, does he?
[Mood Points +99999]
[Mood Points +99999]
Meng Yiran stared at Zhuge Lan in disbelief.
Although she had acted impulsively just now, she had even wanted to take it back afterwards.
But on what basis could he refuse?
Wasn't she fair? Wasn't she ample? Wasn't she soft?
How could he refuse?!
While she was in a daze.
Zhuge Lan had already left with Chen Xin and found a place to sit down.
They ate a simple meal.
Zhuge Lan packed up two more portions of food and left leisurely with Chen Xin.
They arrived at the training ground.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were both there.
Seeing Zhuge Lan approach, Ning Rongrong was a little shy and didn't dare to meet his eyes.
Zhuge Lan handed the packed food to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Eat it while it's hot, we're leaving soon."
Zhu Zhuqing gave a sweet smile and pulled Ning Rongrong to the side.
This caused Chen Xin to nod inwardly.
Zhuge Lan was meticulous, and Zhu Zhuqing was considerate.
Like a brother and sister, they took very good care of Rongrong.
It was a blessing in disguise.
They waited a while longer.
Ma Hongjun and the others arrived one after another, with Meng Yiran and the other two following behind.
Zhuge Lan didn't bother with them, and with a wave of his hand...
"Let's go cause some trouble!"
Everyone exchanged glances upon hearing that.
Their opponents today were in for a rough time!
Little did they know...
Zhuge Lan's initial target was everyone in the main arena today!
——While Chen Xin was here, they were going to give them a good thrashing!!!
Speaking of which...
Zhuge Lan eyed the ethereal Chen Xin.
Was he considered a "strong person?"
Heh!
If he had a chance later, he definitely wanted to give it a try!
