Chapter 117: Only after going to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, can we _1

"Temporarily?" Ning Rongrong looked at Xu Ran guardedly, instantly catching the significant word in Xu Ran's statement. If it's only three for now, doesn't that mean there could be many more in the future?

"There might not be others in the future," Xu Ran chuckled with amusement. A man's mouth can be deceiving; it's just a matter of getting used to it.

"What a philanderer," Ning Rongrong said, giving Xu Ran an annoyed glance.

She felt like she finally understood Xu Ran; he was indeed a philanderer. This left her not knowing what to say. If Xu Ran weren't fickle-hearted, she probably wouldn't have gotten together with him. But with him being such a philanderer, women would surely be around him in the future.

"Alright, stop worrying about these issues. We'll deal with the future when it comes. We need to live in the present," Xu Ran said with a smile, skillfully changing the subject. Intent on establishing his "harem," he naturally wouldn't give up on other beautiful girls. To give up the whole forest for a single green leaf was not his style. They were all adults, after all; why bother choosing? Naturally, he wanted them all.

"Fine. So, when are you going to come back with me to Seven Treasures Glaze Sect?"

"If you want to do 'that,' you must wait until my father approves of you first. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe," Ning Rongrong warned, adding a sentence. If she didn't make it clear, Xu Ran probably wouldn't let her off easily.

Xu Ran was too frightening, and she worried she might not be able to handle him.

"Why?"

"Aren't we waiting until you've got a bun in the oven before going back? Once the rice is cooked into a meal, your family won't oppose us anymore," Xu Ran couldn't help saying, his gaze drifting over Ning Rongrong's well-developed figure. If he had to wait that long, he wasn't sure he could restrain himself. He was no Liuxia Hui, able to remain unmoved in the face of temptation. He wasn't a saint; when it was time to eat, he would eat.

"No way, absolutely not. Let's talk about it once we return to Seven Treasures Glaze Sect," Ning Rongrong asserted. In fact, this was just an excuse of hers. She and Xu Ran had only just started their relationship, and she had never experienced 'that' before, so she naturally needed time to adjust.

"Is that so?"

"Let's talk about it after the school holidays, or once Shrek Academy has moved to Tiandou City. By then, we can visit Seven Treasures Glaze Sect often."

"Seven Treasures City, where Seven Treasures Glaze Sect is located, is also close to Tiandou City. By then, we'll be able to see my father-in-law often," Xu Ran said with a smile.

Ever since Flander realized Yu Xiaogang's true character, his longing for Liu Erlong had grown increasingly intense. Previously, out of consideration for the relationship between Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, he had desired Liu Erlong but dared not visit her.

But now, he felt only yearning, sympathy, and pity for Liu Erlong. Naturally, he was eager to move the academy to Tiandou City.

Xu Ran estimated that they would go to Tiandou City within the next month or two, and then merge with Blue Tyrant Academy. This was much earlier than when Shrek Academy moved to Blue Tyrant Academy in the original story.

"Shrek Academy is moving to Tiandou City?" Ning Rongrong asked in surprise. Tiandou City was a place where land was worth its weight in gold; did Shrek Academy really have enough money to open a campus in Tiandou City?

"Some things are hard to explain in a short time. But we're not going to build a new academy in Tiandou City. Instead, we're merging with another academy. After the merger, Shrek Academy will still be the leading institution," Xu Ran briefly explained to Ning Rongrong.

"Oh," Ning Rongrong nodded, signaling she understood. Although she still had some doubts in her heart, none of that was important.

Previously, she had wanted to escape the comfort zone of her home, which was why she had run off to such a remote place as Shrek Academy. But now that she had Xu Ran by her side, she found herself wanting to go back.

There was no other reason; she simply wanted to take Xu Ran home to show him to her father and two grandfathers.

The husband she had chosen was truly unique in the world.

Xu Ran was unmatched in talent, brimming with brilliance. With such a boyfriend, it was inevitable that she would want to show him off back home.

As someone born into a prominent family and possessing a support-class Martial Soul, according to the tradition of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, she was eventually expected to marry a Soul Master who possessed formidable talent and was loyal to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, to maintain the sect's status.

Moreover, there had always been people coming to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect to propose marriage, but she had directly blocked them all on the grounds that she was too young. However, she also knew that if by the age of eighteen she still hadn't met a person she fancied, her father would definitely pick a husband for her by force. A support-class Soul Master, she must pair with a powerful Soul Master to protect the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect.

But now, she no longer needed to worry about these things. Xu Ran's talent was the strongest. A Soul Elder at the age of twelve, his actual strength was even greater. She couldn't believe that with Xu Ran being so strong, they would not be satisfied.

However, what if Zhu Qing and Xiaowu found out about her relationship with Xu Ran? These days, Zhu Qing and Xiaowu had also been very good to her; would it be like stealing their boyfriend? Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong's little face couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?" Xu Ran said with a smile, extending his index finger and gently stroking Ning Rongrong's smooth and delicate little face. Her skin was as soft as a baby's, which made Xu Ran could not praise it enough.

"I'm thinking about Zhu Qing and Xiaowu. What if they find out about our relationship?" Ning Rongrong pouted, looking at Xu Ran's nonchalant demeanor, feeling a bit angry. Gently, she nudged Xu Ran with her small foot. She had finally made two friends her own age, and she did not want to fall out with them over this.

After all, she was the one who had come between them, there was no easy way to explain it.

"What can we do about it? Just be straightforward. Can it even be kept a secret?" Xu Ran said with a laugh.

"But..." Ning Rongrong was still somewhat conflicted, her little face scrunched up, looking at Xu Ran with a sense of grievance.

"But what? Don't worry, just go to sleep for now and when you wake up tomorrow, everything will be normal. I'll talk to Zhu Qing and Xiaowu about us," Xu Ran said, leading Ning Rongrong toward the dormitory.

Zhu Qing and Xiaowu had always turned a blind eye to these matters. As long as he did not get too flirtatious outside, they would not interfere with his affairs. Moreover, since Ning Rongrong had arrived at the school, Zhu Qing and Xiaowu had already subconsciously accepted her.

"I'm going to sleep now." Ning Rongrong stood at the door of her dormitory, tiptoed, and gave Xu Ran a kiss before shyly retreating into the dormitory and closing the door.

The recent events had felt like a dream to Ning Rongrong, leaving her both thrilled and somewhat bewildered. From the moment she stepped through the gates of Shrek Academy, her experiences had been dreamlike.

Shrek Academy, a gathering place of geniuses, the enigmatic Xu Ran, and now she had even become Xu Ran's girlfriend—everything had developed too quickly for her to catch up.

But she understood that from the moment she became a student of Shrek Academy, her life had undergone a tremendous change. From now on, she would not be alone; she would have Xu Ran and two sisters.
