Ever since witnessing Bai Qinchen and Zhu Zhuqing's performance, Ning Rongrong had developed a strong interest in that aspect, even to the point where, at night, she would subtly anticipate their sounds.
"It just feels very strange," Zhu Zhuqing said slowly after a period of thought.
"Strange? What's strange?" Ning Rongrong asked, looking puzzled.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said, "I don't know, it's just very strange. I always feel like every cell in my body is clamoring, craving, wanting more..."
Ning Rongrong became even more confused listening to Zhu Zhuqing. What Zhu Zhuqing said was too profound, shrouded in mist, leaving her completely bewildered.
"Why do I feel more confused the more I listen? What craving, what wanting more?" Ning Rongrong blinked a couple of times, perplexed.
"Oh, it's that feeling of flying in the sky, floating and flying, swaying and rocking... like sitting on a boat..." Zhu Zhuqing quickly offered another descriptor.
"Uh..." Ning Rongrong was momentarily stunned. "Why do I feel like you're getting more outlandish the more you talk?"
"Just now it was about craving and wanting, and now it's flying in the sky and sitting on a boat," Ning Rongrong complained helplessly.
"How about this, you find a boyfriend yourself, and then you'll understand once you try it with him," Zhu Zhuqing suggested after some thought.
"Hmph," Ning Rongrong pouted, "What kind of person do you take me for?"
"What do you mean?"
"I would never do that kind of thing with him!" Ning Rongrong said with a serious expression.
She didn't think she would do such a thing with a man; she felt it was too embarrassing.
"Do you think I would have done such a thing before?" Zhu Zhuqing raised an eyebrow and retorted.
"Uh... it seems... probably not!" Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment, muttering softly.
The old Zhu Zhuqing certainly couldn't have done such a thing, but now the truth was laid out before her.
Could it be that in the future, she, too, would have to treat her man like Zhu Zhuqing treated Bai Qinchen now?
The thought of herself eating a baguette like Zhu Zhuqing made Ning Rongrong's skin crawl, sending shivers down her spine.
The more Ning Rongrong thought about it, the more scared she became. She didn't want to become like that, so she quickly shook her head, trying to clear the image from her mind.
Absolutely impossible, she would absolutely never do such a thing.
"Hey? Rongrong?" Seeing Ning Rongrong fall silent, Zhu Zhuqing reached out and nudged her shoulder, calling softly.
"Oh... impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Ning Rongrong snapped back to reality, her pretty face flushed, her small head shaking frantically like a rattle-drum.
"Heh!" Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.
"Hmph hmph, you're still laughing!" Ning Rongrong pouted, complaining petulantly.
"Everyone, pay attention! There's movement ahead, be careful!" Suddenly, Liu Erlong sharply warned the group.
Chapter 38: Dugu Yan and the Others
Everyone immediately composed themselves, held their breath, and pricked up their ears to listen to the surrounding movements.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle~~~"
"Footsteps?" Bai Qinchen narrowed his eyes, saying in a low voice.
"Mm, there should be eight people," Liu Erlong said, lowering her voice.
"What should we do?" Bai Qinchen asked.
"Judging by their footsteps, seven of them should be about the same strength as you all," Liu Erlong analyzed, listening carefully to the sounds.
"Could they be students from another academy, like us, here to obtain spirit rings or for training?" Bai Qinchen asked, frowning.
"It's possible," Liu Erlong nodded gently.
Soon, the figures of eight people appeared in their line of sight: five men and two women, in addition to a beautiful woman walking at the very front.
"Liu Erlong, come out, I know you're here!" The woman at the front suddenly stopped and shouted, looking around.
"It's her?" Liu Erlong breathed a sigh of relief, then waved her hand at Bai Qinchen and the others, saying, "Everyone come out, no need to hide anymore."
With that, Liu Erlong jumped out from her hiding spot.
"Xue Feier? What brings you here?" Liu Erlong asked, surprised, looking at the beautiful woman.
"What? You can come here, but I can't?" Xue Feier said with her arms crossed over her chest, a half-smile on her face.
Bai Qinchen stood behind Liu Erlong, observing Xue Feier.
Xue Feier, he hadn't heard of such a person on the Douluo Continent. Could she be a hidden Titled Douluo like Meng Linglong?
He had to admit, this Xue Feier was strikingly beautiful and charming, with a fiery and sexy figure. Her two large mounds proudly protruded, her waist was slender, and her body was curvaceous. Especially her long legs, fair and straight, long and taut, looked utterly tempting.
Liu Erlong glanced at the seven people behind Xue Feier and asked, confused, "Xue Feier, how did you end up leading a team too?"
"It's not because their original teacher ran off with your big brother. My daughter kept pestering me to come help, and I really had no choice but to agree, did I?" Xue Feier shrugged, speaking with a hint of helplessness.
With that, Xue Feier waved at a young girl behind her and called out, "Yan Yan, quickly greet Aunt Erlong!"
A young girl with short dark purple hair heard this, obediently stepped forward, bowed to Liu Erlong, and sweetly called out, "Hello, Aunt Erlong, I am Dugu Yan!"
Dugu Yan?
Bai Qinchen's eyes lit up at the name, and he carefully observed Dugu Yan.
She had short dark purple hair, looking very spirited. Her facial features were delicate and refined, with a slightly upturned nose and a pair of very unusual green eyes.
She wore a sleeveless crop top and hotpants, perfectly outlining her flawless curves. Her long, slender legs and fair, rounded shoulders, combined with her youthful and lively aura, stirred a ripple in Bai Qinchen's heart.
Bai Qinchen glanced at Dugu Yan, then at Xue Feier, noticing a certain resemblance in their appearances.
Xue Feier was Dugu Yan's mother?
The original work never mentioned this point; it only said that Dugu Yan's grandfather was Dugu Bo, and nothing else was known.
"Aunt!" At this moment, a young man in his early twenties, tall and slender, about one meter ninety tall, walked out from behind Xue Feier and called out to Liu Erlong.
"Oh, Yu Tianheng, it's been a long time since I've seen you, kid," Liu Erlong said, looking at Yu Tianheng and nodding gently.
"Yes, Aunt!" Yu Tianheng nodded gently, then looked at Bai Qinchen and the others behind Liu Erlong.
He recognized and had seen Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong, after all, they had defeated them in the Sotou Great Soul Arena back then. He was just a bit confused as to why, out of the original seven people, only these three girls remained. Where were the other four boys?
Especially, where had Tang San gone?
"Aunt, who are they?" Yu Tianheng asked, looking at Bai Qinchen and the others, puzzled.
"This is my disciple, Bai Qinchen, and the remaining few are his teammates," Liu Erlong introduced simply.
"Hello, Bai Qinchen," Bai Qinchen extended his right hand to Yu Tianheng, greeting him proactively.
"Hello, my name is Yu Tianheng," Yu Tianheng shook hands with Bai Qinchen and said.
"Master's wife, since our two teams have met, why don't we act together? We can look out for each other," Bai Qinchen turned to Liu Erlong and suggested.
Having finally met Dugu Yan, Bai Qinchen was reluctant to give up this opportunity to put horns on Yu Tianheng.
Moreover, that Xue Feier was also a beauty; he wanted to see if there was a chance to get close to her.
"Xue Feier, what do you think?" Liu Erlong asked Xue Feier.
"Sure, I just think staying up all night alone is too unbearable. This way, we can take turns," Xue Feier readily agreed.
"Then let's go together!" Liu Erlong said with a smile.
After discussing, the two teams embarked on their training in the Sunset Forest together.
Along the way, the two teams encountered many Spirit Beasts, but most of them chose to retreat after seeing so many people. Some Spirit Beasts chose to test them, but both teams dealt with them separately.
Bai Qinchen kept looking for an opportunity to get close to Dugu Yan, but he couldn't find one. Dugu Yan was always intimately with Yu Tianheng, making it difficult for him to intervene.
Finally, night fell, and the two teams set up four tents. One was for the six girls from Blue Tyrant Advanced Soul Master Academy, one for Liu Erlong and Xue Feier, one for Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, and the last one for the boys of the Imperial Fighting team.
"Feier, tonight, I'll take the first half of the night watch, and you take the second half," Liu Erlong said to Xue Feier. "For these children, we'll each have one person on watch."
"Okay, no problem," Xue Feier nodded, then looked at Yu Tianheng and said, "Yu Tianheng, you'll keep watch with your aunt tonight."
"Actually, let Ye Lingling keep watch with me. She's a girl, I can chat with her," Liu Erlong then looked at Bai Qinchen and said, "Qin Chen, you'll keep watch with me tonight."
"Alright!" Xue Feier didn't mind and nodded in agreement.
After the arrangements were made, everyone went into their respective tents to rest.
Bai Qinchen hugged Liu Erlong's slender waist and whispered in her ear, "Master's wife, you're really good, helping me with such a big favor."
"Then how do you plan to reward me?" Liu Erlong asked seductively.
"When we go back, I'll definitely reward you well," Bai Qinchen kissed Liu Erlong's cheek, glanced at Ye Lingling not far away, and said, "Master's wife, you just help me keep her occupied."
"Mm!" Liu Erlong nodded gently.
Seeing Liu Erlong agree, Bai Qinchen quietly slipped into Dugu Yan's tent.
Chapter 39: Inside Dugu Yan's Tent
Dugu Yan's tent was relatively bright due to the luminous pearl she had placed inside.
Inside the tent, Dugu Yan lay on the soft mat that had been laid out, her sleeping face serene and peaceful.
"Hehe..." Bai Qinchen rubbed his palms together and slowly sat beside Dugu Yan, his gaze fixed intently on her.
Although Bai Qinchen felt that such methods were a bit too despicable, Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng were deeply intimate, and who knew when that Yu Tianheng might take advantage of Dugu Yan.
He didn't want to see such a beautiful girl being taken by another man; he had to act first.
Moreover, with two experts on guard now, he didn't have to worry about Spirit Beasts coming over and him being unable to pull out.
Looking at Dugu Yan's flawless, delicate, and pretty face, as well as her ample mounds, Bai Qinchen couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Tsk tsk, this skin is so smooth and tender," Bai Qinchen couldn't help but exclaim, reaching out to gently caress Dugu Yan's pretty cheek.
"Mmm..." Dugu Yan suddenly let out a soft moan, her brows slightly furrowed.
Seeing Dugu Yan's reaction, Bai Qinchen quickly withdrew his hand, watched for a long time, then lay down behind her.
Bai Qinchen carefully lay beside her, then slowly put his arm around her slender waist, his devilish hand moving across her tender skin, a satisfied curve on his lips.
This Dugu Yan was indeed one of the beauties in the original work. Her skin felt like a baby's, so smooth and tender, making him unable to let go.
"Lingling, stop messing around," Dugu Yan mumbled in her sleep, grabbing Bai Qinchen's arm, and continued to sleep.
How could Bai Qinchen stop just because of a single sentence? After gently freeing himself from Dugu Yan's hand, he continued to caress her skin.
"Mm..." Dugu Yan hummed softly.
"Hehe!" Bai Qinchen chuckled lightly and more brazenly touched Dugu Yan's skin, even secretly climbing onto her large mounds, kneading them twice, feeling how soft and comfortable they were.
Dugu Yan's large mounds, although not as good as Zhu Zhuqing's, were not far off.
Dugu Yan, in her sleep, seemed to sense that her mounds were being caressed. She hazily opened her beautiful eyes and discovered a pair of wicked hands touching her mounds, which immediately startled her.
"Who!" Dugu Yan cried out softly. Besides Ye Lingling causing trouble, she couldn't imagine anyone else being so bold; even Yu Tianheng wouldn't dare treat her like this.
However, she could clearly feel that the hands kneading her mounds were not a girl's hands.
Bai Qinchen realized Dugu Yan was awake, so he stopped pretending and rolled over to face her.
"It's you?!" Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise after seeing the face in front of her.
"Shh!" Bai Qinchen made a shushing gesture to her, then freed a hand to gently caress Dugu Yan's face, saying softly, "Senior Sister Dugu, you're truly beautiful. The first time I saw you today, I fell in love with you!"
"What are you doing!" Dugu Yan's pretty face flushed red, and she tried to avoid Bai Qinchen's touch, but due to his Dismal Hand of Soul Destruction, it was futile.
She only felt her head spinning, her whole body soft and powerless, and her body wouldn't obey her commands.
"You, you quickly let go of me!" Dugu Yan struggled a few times but still couldn't break free from Bai Qinchen, becoming anxious.
"Senior Sister Dugu, you're too beautiful, I can't help but want to kiss you, what should I do?" Bai Qinchen said, looking at Dugu Yan with a mischievous smile.
Dugu Yan's face turned crimson, but at this moment, she had no strength to resist. She could only glare at Bai Qinchen and say, "No, you can't do this!"
However, no sooner had her words fallen than Bai Qinchen had already kissed her cherry lips. After their sweet lips met, he immediately savored her fragrance.
"Mmm... no... mmm!" Dugu Yan struggled, but alas, she was only a Spirit Ancestor, the same rank as Bai Qinchen. Her strength was simply too weak compared to Bai Qinchen's, and because of Bai Qinchen's Dismal Hand of Soul Destruction, she couldn't push him away at all.
Finally, Dugu Yan lost all strength to resist, allowing Bai Qinchen to kiss her.
Bai Qinchen wouldn't just use his mouth and not his hands. One of his hands kneaded her large mounds inside Dugu Yan's clothes, while the other entered the Water Curtain Cave.
"Mmm... mmm..." Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes were wide and round, her breathing slightly hurried, and her pretty face was flushed, exuding an alluring charm.
After a long while, Bai Qinchen finally released Dugu Yan's sweet lips, a look of satisfaction on his face.
