Chapter 201: 197. A Matter Of Course
"Hahaha."
Seeing Ning Rongrong's innocent and pure expression, Ning Fengzhi's frustration gradually dissipated with a light laugh.
He crouched down and rubbed Ning Rongrong's hair, smiling, "He definitely isn't a match for your Sword Grandpa right now; he's still far off."
"Ah ha. Sword Grandpa is the best!"
Ning Rongrong ducked her head, avoiding Ning Fengzhi's large hand that was about to pinch her cheek.
"Ha ha. Old Bone, did you hear that? Hmm?"
Sword Douluo laughed heartily and glanced at Bone Douluo with a somewhat triumphant look.
"Hmph! You really dare to take that to heart."
Bone Douluo snorted lightly, mocking.
"It's not me who's saying it, it's Princess Rongrong herself."
Sword Douluo narrowed his eyes, sensing a sourness emanating from Bone Douluo and feeling a bit uncomfortable, though a battle intent suddenly arose within him.
"But, I actually hope there will come a day when he surpasses me."
Before his words could end, Bone Douluo looked up, curling his lips in disdain.
"Bullying the small, shameless. Bah!"
Sword Douluo's face darkened quickly, and a few veins bulged on his forehead.
"Have I not loosened your bones for a long time?"
...
Inside the Dugu Mansion.
Qian Renjue had just finished his nap and was still a bit dazed.
Leaning sideways on the bed, he was lost in thought, not even hearing the footsteps outside.
Creak—
The door opened.
Qian Renxue, who had just returned from the Crown Prince's Mansion, immediately fixed her gaze on Qian Renjue.
Frowning, she asked, "Jue, what are you thinking about?"
"Hmm? Sister, where did you go? I didn't see you all morning."
Qian Renjue rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked in a daze.
"I went to the Crown Prince's Mansion for a while."
Qian Renxue sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Qian Renjue with a flickering gaze, unable to resist gently stroking his handsome face.
Seeing Qian Renjue lost in thought while covering his cheek, she couldn't help but feel that he might be reminiscing about the kiss Ye Lingling gave him earlier that morning.
It gave her the uncomfortable feeling of having her own carefully cultivated cabbage snatched by a boar.
"So you went to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Why didn't you bring Elder Porcupine and the others?"
Qian Renjue straightened up, allowing Qian Renxue's fingertips to dance on his face, making him feel a bit itchy.
"Why are you interrogating your sister now? Jue hasn't answered your question yet."
Qian Renxue lightly poked Qian Renjue's forehead, staring at him intently.
"Tell me, what were you just thinking about?"
"I wasn't thinking about anything. I was just a bit sleepy."
As she spoke, Qian Renjue couldn't help but yawn, speaking unclearly.
"Humph."
Qian Renxue sneered, looking at Qian Renjue, who was just waking up with a somewhat messy appearance. She couldn't resist teasing him.
Qian Renxue was always a practical person who did what she wanted to do.
In an instant, she locked Qian Renjue's neck, leaning in close and touching the spot Ye Lingling had been earlier.
A fragrant breeze blew, warm and gentle, making Qian Renjue recall the events of the morning.
Immediately, he woke up, his expression slightly changing.
Seeing Qian Renxue leaning on his shoulder, Qian Renjue looked at her with slight confusion.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
"Your sister is happy and wants to reward you."
Qian Renxue leaned her head on Qian Renjue's shoulder, tilting her face up and staring at him with a smile.
"Happy again?"
Qian Renjue was astonished.
"Yes, don't you want your sister to be happy?"
Qian Renxue gently shook Qian Renjue's neck, almost coquettishly.
This was a state she only showed in front of Qian Renjue.
"Uh, of course."
"It's just a bit strange. I don't understand why you're so happy."
Qian Renjue shook his head, feeling a bit awkward.
"Of course it's because of you."
"Have we not always been like this since we were little?"
Qian Renxue hugged Qian Renjue.
Having removed her shoes, she curled up next to him, her eyes showing a hint of disappointment.
"Does this mean that since Jue has a fiancée now, he's ignoring his sister?"
"How could that be? It's just that I find your sudden happiness a bit unexpected."
Qian Renjue wrapped his arms around Qian Renxue's slender waist.
"Is that so?"
Qian Renxue tilted her head, looking indifferent, but she was smiling, rubbing her cheek against Qian Renjue's face.
"Sister's love for her brother is a matter of course."
"Even so, you shouldn't bite, Sis!"
Qian Renjue mumbled softly.
"Ha ha."
Qian Renxue laughed gently, bending slightly and resting her head on Qian Renjue's chest.
Listening to his heartbeat, she spoke softly:
"Sister is helping you remember."
"Alright, I'm a bit tired. Let me rest against you for a while."
"Mm."
Qian Renjue nodded gently.
Wrapping his arms around Qian Renxue's delicate and well-proportioned waist, he felt the familiar warmth and softness.
"From now on, if Sister treats you well, don't ask why."
Qian Renxue, lying on Qian Renjue's chest, gave a quiet reminder.
"Mm, I'll remember."
Qian Renjue patted Qian Renxue's white back, replying earnestly.
He pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then gave a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead.
Qian Renxue was momentarily stunned.
Holding onto Qian Renjue's clothes, she embraced the warm little sun in her arms.
Her violet eyes sparkled with surprise, her lips curling up into a delighted smile.
"This is more like it. Be good."
After speaking, Qian Renxue contentedly closed her eyes and began to rest.
It seemed that she had been a bit overly worried; Jue was still as adorable as ever.
...
The night fell.
After dinner, Hu Liena hurriedly ran into Dugu Yan's room.
After changing clothes and applying a bit of makeup,
Then she quickly ran out again, cheerfully said, "Senior Brother, let's go!"
Qian Renjue allowed Hu Liena to cling to his arm.
Apologetically shaking his head, he said, "Wait a bit longer. Sister said she's coming too."
"Ah? Miss Xue is coming as well!"
Hu Liena's eyes widened.
Her enthusiasm, which had been high for a while, suddenly dimmed a bit.
"What? Can't I go? Miss Nana?"
Qian Renxue's voice suddenly rang in her ear.
"Ah!"
Hu Liena was flustered.
She quickly released Qian Renjue and anxiously explained:
"Of course not! Nana will listen to Senior Brother."
Wearing a purple dress, Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow.
She looked at Qian Renjue with some curiosity.
"Am I really that frightening?"
"Probably not."
Qian Renjue forced a smile, feeling a bit embarrassed.
He didn't think so, but Nana and Yanyan were different.
"Alright, let's go."
Qian Renxue couldn't help but laugh and stood by Qian Renjue, ready to leave.
"Yanyan, you come along too."
Qian Renjue called out to the curious Dugu Yan.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Dugu Yan was momentarily stunned, then quickly approached with a hint of shyness.
Hu Liena didn't say much more.
The imagined two-person world had shattered; what did it matter if there was another deceitful snake?
