"Teacher, can you help me check my Battle Armor?"
Saying this, she actually grabbed Lin Yuan's hand and slowly placed it on her chest armor, which was covered in Nine-Colored Flowing Light.
Through the cold metal, Lin Yuan could even feel the violent beating of the heart inside.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
Lin Yuan looked at the bold girl before him, and the flames in his eyes began to rise.
"Rongrong, do you know you are playing with fire?"
Lin Yuan's voice deepened.
"Playing with fire?"
Ning Rongrong giggled, the slyness in her eyes vanishing, replaced by intense infatuation and possessiveness.
"Teacher, I don't want to be your disciple anymore..."
She suddenly deactivated her entire Battle Armor.
All the metal instantly dissolved into flowing light and vanished.
She was like a peeled lychee, revealed to Lin Yuan without reservation.
"What Sister Xiao Wu has, I must have too."
Ning Rongrong tiptoed, wrapped her arms around Lin Yuan's neck, and firmly pressed her lips onto his—lips she had thought about countless nights!
"I want to be your woman! Now! Immediately! Right away!"
How was this a request?
This was clearly 'forcing the palace'!
Only the little demoness of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would dare to be so presumptuous in front of him.
But Lin Yuan just happened to fall for this type of behavior.
Compared to Xiao Wu's compliance, Ning Rongrong's slightly willful wildness better ignited a man's desire to conquer.
"Good."
Lin Yuan turned the tables, wrapping an arm around her slender waist and lifting her up.
"Since you want to be the Master's Wife, then this Master will grant your wish."
Ning Rongrong was kissed until she was dizzy.
Lin Yuan chuckled lightly and carried her toward the large Chaise Lounge.
The next morning.
Ning Rongrong finally woke up from her deep sleep.
She felt like her body had fallen apart; not a single bone felt like her own.
"Big bad guy!"
Ning Rongrong looked at the man beside her, who was full of energy and watching her with a smile, and couldn't help but playfully punch him.
"It's all your fault, you don't know how to cherish a woman."
Lin Yuan caught her small hand and kissed it.
Ning Rongrong's face instantly flushed red to her ears, so ashamed she wanted to crawl into a crack in the floor.
"That wasn't me, that was me controlled by the Battle Armor!"
This self-deceiving explanation made Lin Yuan burst into laughter.
He pulled Ning Rongrong into his arms and asked softly, "How is it? Are you satisfied now?"
Ning Rongrong leaned against Lin Yuan's broad chest, listening to the powerful heartbeat, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.
"Barely satisfied."
She huffed proudly, then seemed to remember something, lifted her head, and said fiercely:
"However, you have to promise me one condition!"
"What condition?"
"No more showing favoritism in the future!"
Ning Rongrong stuck out one finger and poked Lin Yuan's chest:
"What Sister Xiao Wu has, I must have too."
"If Zhuqing has it in the future, I must have it too!"
"Anyway, I don't want to be the lesser one, I want to be an Equal Wife."
Looking at this little girl who was competitive even in bed, Lin Yuan helplessly flicked her nose.
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you."
"That's more like it."
Ning Rongrong smiled contentedly and planted a kiss on Lin Yuan's face.
"Teacher is the best!"
"Get up! This young lady is hungry! I want to eat Master's homemade Loving Breakfast!"
Watching Ning Rongrong regain her vitality, Lin Yuan shook his head.
Although he was exhausted last night, the sense of accomplishment from seeing this gorgeous Flower of Wealth finally belong entirely to him was greater than any divine artifact could provide.
Outside the Glazed Pavilion.
Xiao Wu was pulling Zhu Zhuqing for a walk in the garden.
When they saw Lin Yuan and Ning Rongrong walking out hand-in-hand, especially noticing Ning Rongrong's slightly awkward gait and the unconcealed spring in her eyes.
Xiao Wu sighed and said helplessly, "It's over, Rongrong has fallen too. We'll have to share Teacher between two people now."
Zhu Zhuqing, however, smiled faintly, "Maybe not just two?"
Xiao Wu paused, then gave a wry smile, "That's true, after all, Teacher is such a dazzling existence."
However, looking at the happy backs of Lin Yuan and Ning Rongrong, neither girl felt much jealousy.
In this World where the strong are revered, simply being able to accompany the Supreme God King was a great happiness in itself.
What's more, they had long since become as close as sisters.
Canglan Academy, the Spiritual Spring Waterfall behind the mountain.
Since Ning Rongrong had also'succeeded,' the Harem structure of Canglan Academy seemed to have basically taken shape.
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong spent their days glued together, occasionally blushing as they exchanged 'Tips on Serving' in front of Zhu Zhuqing.
Although they had no intention of excluding Zhu Zhuqing, and even unintentionally created opportunities for her.
But this feeling of 'being left behind' was harder for the strong-willed and sensitive Zhu Zhuqing to bear than death.
The night was like water, with the silver disk hanging high.
The rumbling sound of the waterfall drowned out all surrounding noises.
In the cold pool beneath the waterfall, a lithe figure was darting through the water.
It was Zhu Zhuqing.
She was venting.
Or rather, she was using this method to calm the restlessness in her heart.
At this moment, she was only wearing a black, Tight-fitting Training Suit.
Because it was soaked by the spring water, the fabric clung tightly to her body, outlining curves so explosive that any deity would go mad for them.
She was the youngest of the three women, but her development was the most 'outrageous.'
That astonishing arc was dazzlingly white even in the dark night.
"Hoo, hoo..."
Zhu Zhuqing poked her head out of the water and wiped the water droplets from her face. She leaned against the rock on the shore, panting heavily.
Her eyes, usually cold as ice, were now bright red, carrying a trace of undisguised grievance.
"Am I really that stupid?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at her reflection in the water and murmured softly.
"I'm not good at acting cute like Sister Xiao Wu, nor am I bold like Rongrong. I only know how to cultivate, only how to follow behind him. A boring person like me, Teacher probably won't like me, right?"
The more she thought, the more wronged and heartbroken she felt. The usually strong Hell Civet couldn't help but hug her knees, bury her head in her arms, her shoulders shaking slightly.
"Who said you are boring?"
Just then, a warm, jade-like voice, carrying a hint of magnetism, pierced through the roar of the waterfall and sounded clearly in her ears.
Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body trembled violently. Like a startled kitten, she instantly sprang up and looked back.
On the rock at the shore, Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in snow-white robes.
Moonlight spilled onto him, coating him in a layer of sacred radiance.
"Teacher?"
Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly wiped away the tear stains at the corners of her eyes, instinctively wanting to shrink back into the water, trying to hide her current wretched state and her overly hot figure.
"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping in your room? Why come here for a cold shower?"
Lin Yuan's figure flashed, instantly crossing dozens of meters, and he squatted directly on the rock in front of Zhu Zhuqing.
He reached out and gently lifted Zhu Zhuqing's damp chin, forcing her to look at him.
"Tell Teacher, why are you crying?"
The distance between them was extremely close; Lin Yuan could even smell the scent on the girl, a mixture of cool spring water and faint body fragrance.
Forced to meet that burning gaze, Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks instantly flushed red, even the roots of her ears felt hot.
"I wasn't crying, the spring water got in my eyes."
This clumsy lie couldn't help but make Lin Yuan chuckle softly.
"Silly girl."
Lin Yuan sighed, not exposing her, but instead reaching out to tidy the messy hair clinging to her cheek.
"Did you see Xiao Wu and Rongrong are both by my side, and you feel neglected?"
This single sentence shattered all of Zhu Zhuqing's defenses.
Her eyes turned red again, she bit her lip stubbornly, turned her head away, her voice somewhat choked:
"I don't have the right to be jealous of them. They are better than me, more likable than me..."
"But I'm just not reconciled!"
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly turned her head, her eyes burning with the flame of burning one's bridges: "Teacher, I have been working hard to catch up to your footsteps."
"I cultivate desperately, I strive to become stronger, just so that one day, I can stand beside you, instead of only watching your back!"
"But you barely look at me."
By the end, her voice carried a crying tone.
The emotions suppressed for a long time burst out completely at this moment.
Looking at the girl before him who had shed all pretense of coolness and revealed her fragile heart, Lin Yuan's heart clenched fiercely.
He always thought Zhu Zhuqing was independent and needed space, but he never expected that this'space' would actually cause her to feel wronged.
"Who says I don't look at you?"
Lin Yuan suddenly reached out, grabbing her cold little hand, and applied a little force.
Splash!
Water splashed everywhere.
Zhu Zhuqing was directly pulled out of the water and crashed into a warm and broad embrace.
"If I didn't watch you, how would I know you were training extra every night?"
"If I didn't watch you, how would I custom-make that set of Battle Armor for you?"
"If I didn't watch you,"
Lin Yuan lowered his head, staring intently at her astonishing curves, faintly visible through her soaked clothes, his voice becoming somewhat hoarse: "How would I know that my little wild cat actually has the best figure of them all?"
Boom!
Hearing this almost flirtatious remark, it was as if a firework exploded in Zhu Zhuqing's mind, leaving her completely dazed.
"Teacher, you..."
"Zhuqing."
Lin Yuan interrupted her, tightening his arm around her waist, pulling her tightly against him.
"Some things don't need to be said, but I thought you would understand."
"In my heart, your coolness, your stubbornness, and your unyielding Spirit are more captivating to me than any coquettishness."
Zhu Zhuqing looked blankly at Lin Yuan.
So Teacher always understood.
So she was never left behind.
The immense joy instantly washed away all her grievances. She looked at the man she had admired for so long, and the love that had been suppressed in her heart could no longer be controlled.
She took a deep breath, gathering the greatest courage of her life.
She stood on her tiptoes, and her cool lips clumsily yet firmly pressed against Lin Yuan's lips.
It was an inexperienced kiss, carrying the unique sweetness of a young girl, and the decisiveness of staking everything on a single throw.
Lin Yuan was slightly stunned, then took the initiative, guiding this inexperienced little cat to explore the unknown territory.
"Mmm..."
After a long moment, their lips parted. Zhu Zhuqing collapsed weakly in Lin Yuan's arms, panting heavily, her eyes hazy like silk.
"Teacher..." she called softly.
"Still calling me Teacher?" Lin Yuan's fingers gently traced her exquisite collarbone, his tone carrying a hint of dangerous temptation: "Xiao Wu and Rongrong changed how they address me very decisively."
"What? You don't want to be like them?"
Zhu Zhuqing's body trembled slightly. To be like them... meant becoming his woman, becoming his closest companion.
She raised her head and looked at Lin Yuan. The two words spun a thousand times in her throat, finally turning into a whisper as faint as a mosquito's hum, yet filled with deep affection: "Husband."
This single utterance seemed to flip a switch.
Zhu Zhuqing's face was so red it could almost drip blood, but she did not retreat, instead shouting firmly once more: "Husband!"
"I want to be your woman. Right now."
Lin Yuan smiled.
"Good. Since my little wild cat has asked, how can I, as her Husband, refuse?"
Lin Yuan swept her up into his arms.
He didn't return to the Star Plucking Tower, nor did he go anywhere else.
Right here under the moon, beside the spiritual spring, on the soft grass filled with the scent of nature.
Lin Yuan casually set up an Isolation Barrier.
Then, he gently placed the girl in his arms down.
Zhu Zhuqing seemed to be doing it to heighten the mood, or perhaps because she couldn't control herself.
Spirit Possession!
A pair of fluffy black cat ears sprouted from the top of her head, and a long black cat tail swayed gently behind her, occasionally brushing against Lin Yuan's hand, sending a tingling sensation.
Cat Girl Form!
In this form, her already hot figure was imbued with an additional exotic, wild beauty.
Her cat eyes flickered with a light that was both shy and desirous.
"Husband..."
The next morning.
The first ray of sunlight sprinkled over the back mountain grassland.
Zhu Zhuqing awoke from her deep sleep, feeling as if her entire body had fallen apart, lacking the strength to even move a finger.
Lin Yuan's robe was draped over her, and her black cat tail hung limply to the side.
"Awake?"
Lin Yuan was leaning against a nearby rock, watching her with a smile.
Zhu Zhuqing's memory instantly returned, and the absurd and bold scenes from last night flashed through her mind: cat ears, tail, grass...
