Ning Rongrong: "If you don't apologize, I'll have Lan kick you out!"
Meng Yiran: "!!!"
She was truly anxious now, turning to look at her grandparents.
The two of them were silent for a moment.
What could they do? Ning Rongrong had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind her!
And the Sword Douluo!
And the Bone Douluo!
"It's that damned Zhuge Lan!"
Yet, her own granddaughter still needed something from him.
Chao Tianxiang could only put it diplomatically, "Yiran, you'll be classmates from now on. Harmony is important; otherwise, things won't last."
The implication was clear.
If you want to learn about Soul Tools, you have to apologize.
If you don't want to learn about Soul Tools, then we leave.
Meng Yiran clutched the Soul Tool beginner's manual, her fingers turning white.
Give up?
Compromise?
She was wrestling with this when...
Ning Rongrong, who had been so aggressive just moments ago, suddenly said,
"You're both right, we'll be classmates from now on."
"No need to apologize, just remember to watch what you say in the future."
Then, she quickly left.
Dai Mubai and the others followed behind her.
Meng Yiran stayed rooted to the spot, her expression complex.
In the past, relying on her grandfather and grandmother's reputation, she had done quite a few similar things.
Unexpectedly… Ning Rongrong, who held a higher status than herself, actually had such a good personality?
Clutching the Soul Tool handbook, he buried himself in it, trying to keep up.
Ahead.
Ma Hongjun asked curiously, "Rongrong, are you just letting her go like that?"
Ning Rongrong hummed in agreement, not saying much.
In truth, she was thinking:
Did Zhuge Lan have some special intentions when he invited Meng Yiran?
Just like…
Her!
Martial Soul City.
Zhuge Lan, familiar with the area, led Zhu Zhuqing through the streets and alleys.
Eating delicious food, buying clothes, riding wooden boats, and watching the lantern displays.
They were just like a normal young couple, strolling and eating.
This surprised Zhu Zhuqing, and she felt relaxed.
She had assumed that Zhuge Lan, taking her away, would be eager to… get things done quickly.
It's easy to rush.
But slow is difficult.
Zhuge Lan's willingness to put in the effort made Zhu Zhuqing very happy.
He doesn't just like this body.
\n\n
They were strolling along.
Suddenly, Zhuge Lan stopped, as if listening intently to something.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was holding a candied hawthorn, turned around to look.
The hotel entrance was right beside them.
[Emotion Points +11111]
Was this a hint?
Well... Even though she hadn't had her fill of fun, this was pretty good.
She took Zhuge Lan's hand and walked into the hotel, taking the initiative.
They were about to go to the front desk.
But Zhuge Lan pulled her back and sat down on a sofa for guests to rest on.
His gaze drifted towards a corner.
A woman was spreading open her coat, showing something to a man.
This made Zhu Zhuqing frown.
That look... she's definitely not up to any good. Why is she paying attention to me? "I'll risk it!"
The man pulled out a large money pouch and handed it to the woman.
Having received something, she hurried towards the guest rooms.
She's probably going to a room, waiting for her to provide a service. Zhu Zhuqing guessed.
The woman closed her coat, tying her belt as she looked around.
Seeing Zhuge Lan, her eyes lit up!
She didn't even bother tying her belt and rushed over with small steps.
Zhu Zhuqing was about to explode!
"What level do you think you are?"
"Can't you see I'm here?"
Seeing the woman stop in front of Zhuge Lan, she was about to open her trench coat.
Zhu Zhuqing was about to leap up and give this shameless woman a claw!
But Zhuge Lan held her back.
Zhu Zhuqing: "!!!"
Huh?
You're interested in this kind of thing?
She couldn't believe it.
The woman opened her trench coat, revealing a rather shapely figure, and books in her inner pockets!
"Sunflower Manual, only 10,000 gold soul coins a piece!"
The woman lowered her voice.
"Guaranteed original, not a pirated copy from a later print!"
"You might not need to cultivate, but if you buy it and give it to the servants at home, they could become a Soul King, or even a Soul Emperor, in just a few years!"
"Everyone's practicing it now. If you don't get one, it won't be safe to go out later, you know~"
Zhu Zhuqing↓ o(▼皿▼メ;)o ↓
(_) Huh? Sunflower Manual?
Where did this Martial Soul City get the Sunflower Manual?
And they're selling it at the hotel?
Zhu Zhuqing was bewildered.
Too much information, needs buffering.
"Are you sure it's the real deal?" Zhuge Lan asked with a playful tone. "Most of the original batch was taken by the Martial Soul Palace, wasn't it?"
Zhuge Lan's words made the woman think she had a chance.
She said with pride—
"I'm a lady from the Qiongbi Flower Pavilion. That Platinum Bishop, Yu Xiaogang, came here often."
"He only drank flower wine and did nothing else. After I got him drunk, I realized he wasn't a man!"
"These Sunflower Manuals were all obtained from him, so they're definitely the original!"
Zhu Zhuqing: "Ah?"
Zhuge Lan couldn't help but chuckle.
Is this rumor-mongering getting this out of hand after only a month?
Yu Xiaogang is still clinging to Bibi Dong's thigh, does he dare to frequent brothels in Martial Soul City?
Based on your eloquence alone, I'll buy it!
Zhuge Lan casually pulled out a handful of gold soul coins.
"You look new to this, I'll offer..."
"Deal!"
The woman snatched the gold soul coins and slapped a Sunflower Manual into Zhuge Lan's hand.
He buttoned up his trench coat and quickly left the hotel.
Zhuge Lan chuckled.
Flipping open the Sunflower Manual, he casually scanned through it.
Not bad.
Although there were quite a few typos and sentence breaks, he simply crossed them out and rewrote them.
The main thing was that it could be practiced.
It seemed that the Douluo Continent didn't have movable type printing yet.
It was of no consequence.
"What's going on?"
Zhu Zhuqing's mind was still in a muddle.
The cultivation speed of the Sunflower Manual was truly rapid!
It was more than ten times faster than that of ordinary Soul Masters.
Judging by the current situation, even if Martial Soul City didn't have one copy for every person, it was still circulating on a large scale.
This...
How many high-level Soul Masters would emerge?
— Zhu Zhuqing didn't doubt for a moment whether those who pursued power would care about a few pieces of flesh.
"This is getting interesting," Zhuge Lan chuckled, "The trend has been set. Now, we wait for the wind to come."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't understand.
But...
How did this matter seem so much like Zhuge Lan's style?
Oh, this...
Zhu Zhuqing chose to remain silent.
Curiosity killed the cat.
This awareness made Zhuge Lan appreciate her even more.
Knowing when to advance and retreat, understanding what's important.
Such a good wife, truly a rare find! "We've seen the show, it's time to go back."
Zhu Zhuqing hummed in agreement.
Their gazes shifted.
She appeared at the entrance of the Rose Hotel, while Zhuge Lan was inside the lobby.
Was this...
...the spot where she hid when she first saw Zhuge Lan?
Zhuge Lan turned around, facing Zhu Zhuqing with a grin.
——He only saw her back when she turned around back then.
Zhuge Lan stepped forward and extended his hand to Zhu Zhuqing.
"May I have the honor of a dance with you, miss?"
Zhu Zhuqing's icy demeanor melted, revealing a radiant smile.
She raised her hand and placed it in Zhuge Lan's palm.
"With the greatest pleasure."
Zhuge Lan pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms, and they began to dance gracefully in the hall.
They only had eyes for each other.
Following the dance steps, they shifted their bodies.
They danced through the lobby, through the corridors, and into the pre-booked couple's suite.
Zhu Zhuqing executed a graceful spin, her clothes fluttering like flower petals.
With the equally unreserved Zhuge Lan, they embraced once more and began to dance again.
The difference this time?
It wasn't a formal dance, but the Taiji Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique! (Please open your browser and read the following content in your private collection~)
